"Rice, white flour! Zhang Xuebing, why are you spending money indiscriminately? ”

When the little girl saw Zhang Xuebing carrying a big bag and a small bag entering the door, she stepped forward to check it, and exclaimed every time she saw it.

"White sugar, tea, and cloth, how much does it cost, loser, hum, I'll tell my sister to go!"

These are all bought by Zhang Xuebing at the market, he remembers that his sister-in-law likes to drink tea, but the family usually can't afford it, and his sister-in-law occasionally stirs up sour jujube leaves instead of tea, which is sour and difficult to eat, and this time he made money and should improve his family's life.

Even the Zhang family has never been so extravagant during the Chinese New Year, the little girl muttered in her mouth, her eyes were full of surprise, and she glanced at Zhang Xuebing with white eyes.

"What is this, look!" Zhang Xuebing took out a large handful of banknotes from his pocket, although there was only one hundred, but for the little girl who had never seen much money, it was also quite shocking.

"Those fish can be sold for so much money, you, you're not going to rob the road, are you?"

"What nonsense, take this and give you zero flowers after school starts!" Zhang Xuebing took out the gray-green 'Four Great Men' and slapped it in her hand.

"God, a hundred dollars, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Holding a hundred-yuan bill and rubbing it over and over, the little girl's hands trembled, and every year during the Chinese New Year, her sister symbolically gave a little New Year's money, and it was only eight cents, and she grew so big, it was the first time she got a hundred.

Zhang Xuebing looked at her excited, and his heart was sour, this amount of money is at most a meal or even a dish for the big money in the city, but these children in the mountains can't even get so much pocket money for more than ten years.

Touching the little girl's hair lovingly, Zhang Xuebing turned around and went out, "Let your sister roll the dough, let's make dumplings today, and I'll buy meat!" ”

"Ah, I still buy meat ......"

June is the hottest time of the year, and the evening mountain breeze can't dissipate the heat.

The butcher Zhang Hu was lying on the bluestone slab at the door of the house, shaking the pu fan desperately, squinting at Zhang Xuebing, he didn't even get up, and said impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

"Of course it's to buy meat, do you want to go on a blind date?"

"I don't take credit here!" Zhang Hu shook his arm impatiently, and the fat turned over, too lazy to take another look at Zhang Xuebing.

The village is very poor, and there are very few people who can afford to eat meat, and his private slaughterhouse mainly faces the wealthy people in the neighboring villages.

often comes into contact with rich people, and Zhang Hu also believes that his status is higher than others, especially looking down on second-rate poor people like Zhang Xuebing.

Slam, a few crumpled banknotes smashed on Zhang Hu's face, Zhang Xuebing sneered, "Hmph, Lao Tzu buys meat with cash, and you still don't sell it?" ”

"Twenty yuan, bought them all?" Zhang Hu counted the money clearly, and grinned a hint of coquettishness.

The lean meat in the city is sold for one yuan and two, and the meat in the village is less than one yuan a catty, and twenty yuan can buy more than twenty catties, which is not a small business.

"Where is all this nonsense, do you sell it or not? Hurry up and weigh it, and wait at home to eat! "Zhang Xuebing is impatient!

"Hey, sell, but it's ......"

"You are a big man, how can you talk about being feminine, but what?"

Zhang Hu said with a smile, "It's too hot and there isn't much meat, take a look at the pork ribs, I'll count you five cents a catty?" ”

Zhang Xuebing almost couldn't hold back his laughter, the mountain people in this era like large pieces of fatty meat, and they are not interested in ribs, you must know that in the future generations, ribs are much more expensive than pure meat!

And this is a serious local pork, pollution-free and pollution-free green food, which is very different from the March fat that came out of those farms!

However, with the improvement of living standards in the city, the price of pork ribs has risen in some places, and at present, this is a small business opportunity, which can make a quick buck!

"Less nonsense, how much meat counts, and the rest is called pork ribs, hold on!"

Zhang Hu ran back to the courtyard in a hurry, and after a while, he used a straw rope to wear a piece of pork belly and two large pieces of ribs, "A total of nineteen yuan, looking for you......"

Zhang Xuebing was very atmospheric, and waved his hand, "What are you looking for, just give me eggs for the rest!" ”

"Hey, okay, okay, I'll give you fifteen more eggs!"

When handing over the eggs, Zhang Hu looked a little speechless and stopped.

"What do you want to ask?"

Zhang Xuebing was planning to open another financial road, but he was afraid that he would not take the bait.

Don't look at the poverty in the mountains, but there are treasures everywhere, hickory, persimmons, hawthorns, and various herbal products on the mountain, which are all a lot of money in the market.

Many people complain that money is hard to make, that is useless, as long as you observe carefully, there are many ways to make money around you, so you are afraid of not worrying.

"Nothing, nothing!" Zhang Hu's face was flushed, and his hands were swinging wildly.

As a human being in two lives, Zhang Xuebing's eyelashes were empty, and he had already seen that he was thinking carefully, and said with a smile, "You want to ask, how can I be willing to spend money to buy meat, right?" ”

Zhang Hu smiled shyly, "What, it's just curiosity!" ”

Zhang Xuebing showed a mysterious smile, "I have relatives in the city, and now I specialize in pouring mountain goods to sell in the city!" ”

Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, rubbed his hands and asked, "Then, can we sell this meat into the city?" ”

The weather is too hot, there is no cold chain logistics in this era, Zhang Xuebing is worried that the meat will stink when it is sent to the city, "If you have a way to keep it fresh, I will want your meat in the future!" ”

"This, keeping it fresh is a problem, let me think about it!"

If you can't keep it fresh, this financial road can only be put on hold for the time being, and wait for the weather to cool down.

"Okay, when you think of a way, give me a letter!"

"Hey, I must think about it, go slowly!"

After walking a few steps, Zhang Xuebing suddenly thought that although the temperature in the mountains is not low this season, how does he usually keep it fresh, can he afford a refrigerator at home?

Zhang Xuebing suddenly stopped and asked the question in his heart.

Zhang Hu grinned, "You are still from our mountains, how can you not know about this?" My method of keeping fresh at home is very simple, just one word, well! ”

This statement woke up Zhang Xuebing, people in the mountains usually have something that is perishable, they are generally hung on the water surface of the well, and those who are not afraid of water are even soaked directly in the well water, and the well water that is needle-in-the-bone is the best natural fresh-keeping box.

He can use well water to cool his home home, but he can't carry a well on his back on the road!

This incident inspired Zhang Xuebing's reverse thinking, since fresh meat is easy to spoil, so just transport the pigs over and slaughter them near the market?

Killed and sold, the meat is fresh, and it may even become a gimmick.

Zhang Xuebing briefly said his thoughts, Zhang Hu's face was happy, and then he frowned again, "The method is a good way, but we don't have a slaughter license, and there is no house in the city, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do!" ”

"These little things, I'll find a way for my relatives, you just think about it, can my method succeed, and I'll solve the rest!"

"Okay, okay, I'm calculating!" Zhang Hu nodded again and again, watching him leave.

As soon as Zhang Xuebing entered his yard, he heard his sister-in-law's reprimand, "You little girl is getting less and less, is it easy for us mountain people to get some money, you are holding him to spend money to buy this and that, see if I don't beat you hard!" ”

"I didn't, spare my life......" Su Xin'er ran out of the house with her head in her hands, and chased after her sister-in-law who was carrying a broom and a pimple.

Zhang Xuebing knew his sister-in-law's temper, and he couldn't persuade him at the moment, so he had to use the agitation method, so he shouted immediately.

"Fight, fight to death, but don't start, the college entrance examination will be taken next year, our family still has the hope of being admitted to a university, it's not a joke to break your brain!"

"The two of you are a pair of jujube wood balls, and you can't pay for your life when you're angry!"

The broom pimple in my sister-in-law's hand was raised high, sighed and slowly fell, and suddenly saw what Zhang Xuebing was carrying, her hair exploded, "Zhang Xuebing, it's not a year!" Why are you still buying meat, you can't live this day? ”

Seeing that his sister-in-law was about to sacrifice a magic weapon again, Zhang Xuebing hurriedly handed the things in his hand to the little girl, squeezed his eyes at her, and the little girl ran to the kitchen with the meat, and whispered, "Why buy some bones!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuebing turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and bent down, and said in a particularly sincere tone, "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault, I shouldn't spend money to buy things, you just beat me up and get angry, I definitely can't hide!" ”

Su Wan angrily threw the broom on the ground, "Hey, I finally got some money, I let you two spend it, I don't care about this family, whoever cares about it in the future!" ”

Sister-in-law is more than mother, Su Wan'er has been married for a few years, she has been a father and a mother, and she has pulled two children to become adults, she is tired, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, and she choked up when she spoke.

"Sister-in-law, look!"

"Ah, where did you get all this money?" Su Wan'er looked at the large handful of banknotes in Zhang Xuebing's hand and opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Zhang Xuebing stuffed all the money into his sister-in-law's hands, "It's all earned by selling fish, don't you know, those fish are taken to the market, people are crazy, as if they don't want money!" ”

Su Wan'er's thin body trembled, and her hand holding the money trembled, "Okay, sister-in-law save it, save it for the two of you, and ...... it in the future."

Seeing that her white and slender fingers were full of criss-crossing cracks, Zhang Xuebing's heart ached.

These are all caused by being covered in ice in winter and water in summer, constantly washing and washing, and all kinds of farm work.

Without these hands, Zhang Xuebing and Su Xin'er would have frozen to death and starved to death.

Zhang Xuebing endured the sourness in his eyes and said deliberately magnificently.

"Sister-in-law, this money is for you, the fishmonger also booked the next one, how much you want, you can earn so much every day, in the future, our family will no longer be poor, the little girl will go to college in the future, and build a new house, buy appliances, buy a washing machine for you, you don't have to suffer from cold water anymore!"

Su Wan'er shook her head suddenly, and a crystal teardrop slipped down the crow's feet at the corner of her eye, almost screaming!

"Don't go again, the back mountain is dangerous, how many people in the elders are folded in the mountains, you are not allowed to go, our family is not frugal and frugal, with this money for the next semester's tuition is enough, sister-in-law doesn't want you to make a fortune, you are safe!"

The mysterious cliffs and deep pools in the back mountains are a piece of my sister-in-law's heart, and I can't persuade her for a while, so I can only sneak fishing for the time being, and then make plans after changing careers in the future.

"Okay, listen to you, let's make dumplings!"

The sound of chopping stuffing came from the kitchen, the little girl was already busy, and her sister-in-law stopped Zhang Xuebing, "After running for a day, you go to rest, and call you when the dumplings are ready!" ”

Seventy or eighty miles back and forth, Zhang Xuebing was really tired, fell on his bed, fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly heard someone in the yard scolding, as well as the shouts of his sister-in-law and the little girl.

He jumped out of bed and ran into the courtyard in three or two steps.
