On New Year's Day, the family is reunited.

At the beginning of the month, the clouds were low, the north wind was howling, and the snow was falling.

The Lu family sat around the dinner table.

In the middle of the table was a stainless steel basin with a small iron stove underneath.

The stove was filled with pine wood, and the house smelled of rosin.

The red oil was tumbling in the basin, and a silver carp was grunting in the boiling water.

The spicy flavor fills the tip of the nose.

"Dad, is this the spicy fish you made?"

Lu Changzhong's saliva flowed out.

I couldn't pull out my eyes when I stared at the fish in the basin.

"Hehe, it's Changhua who gave me some ideas."

It turned out that Lao Lu was thinking about making fish hot pot during this time for the upcoming fish house.

Speaking of hot pot, there are also in the Northeast.

It's just not authentic.

Some of the hot pot in the Northeast came from Inner Mongolia, and some came from Guanli.

Most of them are lighter.

Northeast people can't eat spicy, like Chongqing hot pot and the like, if you don't go through a certain improvement, you can't eat it.

When Lu Changhua learned that his father was worried about this, he proposed to try the method of spicy fish.

There are two ways to make fish, one is to fry it and then put it in the pot, and the other is to put it in the pot fresh.

Today, New Year's Day, Lao Lu bought a big silver carp and made a spicy fish.

The saying that paste and spicy refers to the base of the hot pot, and the chili pepper has been specially processed to retain the paste flavor of the chili pepper and reduce the pungent spicy taste, so that the Northeast people can accept it.

The family gathered around this pot of fish and ate it with relish.

It is said that it is delicious and will definitely sell well.

Lao Lu smiled when he heard this, and he couldn't close his mouth all night.

After New Year's Day, Lu Changhua's ice rink was lively again.

The rental rate of skates is as high as 99%, and the connection is basically seamless.

The rent of a pair of skates is 1.45 yuan a day, and ten pairs are 14.5 yuan.

In the whole of January, except for the rest on New Year's Day, there were 30 days, and the income rent was 436.8 yuan.

Lu Changhua's schoolbag was full of change.

That's more than 400!

A month is almost catching up with someone else's income in a year.

When Lao Lu and Lu's mother personally counted these zero votes, they were shocked by such profits.

In just one month, not only did I get back to my roots, but I also had a surplus.

Who would have thought of that.

"Mom and Dad, there are more than 20 days left for the Chinese New Year, I want my mother to go to the reservoir to help me collect money, I need to go to the county seat."

"Why are you going?"

"We have feed, but we can't do it without a grinder. I'm going to buy a second-hand one, cheap and usable. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the reservoir tomorrow."

When my mother saw that she was making so much money, she became more motivated.

In the past, Lao Lu and Lu's mother thought that their son was fooling around, what kind of ice rink was he doing? It's a favor for the school, what skates do you buy?! Can this thing be rented out?!

Who knew that in just one month, this business would really be done.

"Okay, I'll have to buy a shredder."

"The grass seeds, the wheat and the broken beans have to be crushed before they can be mixed into bait."

Lao Lu nodded, agreeing with his son's approach.

During this time, his son's performance made Lao Lu feel that Lu Changhua was a piece of material for the industry.

Immediately, Lu Changhua found Hu Dagui, who was playing cards, back.

The two brothers muttered together, and discussed going to the county seat early tomorrow morning to see the situation at the machinery thrift market.

On February 4, 85, the beginning of spring.

There is a great difference between the north and the south of China.

February in the south is already February, and the spring breeze is like scissors, but February in the northeast is still thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and the scenery of the north country.

This is the time when the temperature is at its lowest in the Northeast.

A lot of people are completely cat-wintered.

Every day, in addition to drinking, the party is to play cards and brag.

are waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival.

Early this morning, Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui met at the gate and put steamed bread slices at home. At this time, the sky was faintly bright, the east was white, the streets were empty, even the barking of dogs had disappeared, and the sky was still snowy.

As soon as the two said hello, they wrapped their coats and walked along the gravel road in front of the team department to the fork in the road, and they had to go to catch the car early.

"Wait, you two wait!"

Lu Changhua was startled by this shout.

It is said that he and Hu Dagui went to the county seat in an extremely secret matter.

Who is so well-informed?!

When I looked back, I saw a girl wearing a red woolen coat, a red woolen scarf around her neck, and a white mask, running towards them.

Because the clothes are too thick, the swaying from side to side when running is very rhythmic.

"Han Ying?"

When he got closer, Lu Changhua saw that this was not Han Ying, who was it?!

"How do you know we're out?"

"Don't worry about this, let's go together."

Lu Changhua turned his head to look at Hu Dagui.

Hu Dagui hurriedly shook his hand.

"It's none of my business, it's just that a person from the cafeteria asked why he was going today, and I said I would go to the city with you."

Hu Dagui defended himself very innocently.

"Lu Changhua, what are you doing?! Look at how scared Dagui out! ”

Han Ying stomped her feet, and the little female cat demonstrated.

"It's such a cold day, why are you going to the county seat?"

"Of course there's something."

Han Ying twisted her clumsy body and walked forward first.

This time she learned the lesson she had learned from the beginning, wearing flipped-toe shoes and covering herself tightly.

Seeing Han Ying walking in front, Lu Changhua also recognized it, he glared at Hu Dagui and quickened his pace.

Hu Dagui didn't dare to provoke Lu Changhua, so he tiptoed behind and hurried silently.

In just ten minutes, the cheeks of the three of them were red from the cold, and Han Ying's mask was covered with hoarfrost.

The small fluff on Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui's mouths was also hung with ice skates.

The edges of the cotton hat turned snow-white.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and the footprints on the gravel road were instantly covered and gradually disappeared.

If it weren't for Han Ying wearing a red tweed coat, I'm afraid Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui wouldn't be able to see her.

"Let's go together, the snow is too big, don't get lost."

Lu Changhua hurriedly beckoned the two to come closer.

Han Ying saw that the snow was indeed big, and she no longer acted rashly, and walked beside Lu Changhua.

Hu Dagui also took a few steps and followed Lu Changhua on the other side.

The white gas they exhaled soon turned into hoarfrost, covering their hats, masks, and scarves.

"Han Ying, what time is it?"

Hu Dagui asked loudly.

"What? What do you say? ”

At this time, not only is it snowing, but it is also windy.

The three of them were so close that they couldn't hear each other clearly.

"What time did I say?"

"Oh."

Among the three, only Han Ying has a Kun watch, and this children's watch is called Kun Watch.

It took Han Ying a long time before she rolled up her sleeves and glanced at her watch.

"It's half past five."

"What time is it?"

"Half past five!"

"Oh."

"Okay, don't ask, let's go quickly, or you won't be able to catch the car."

The three of them quickened their pace.

Soon they had passed the junction of the Fourteenth Team, and they knew that they were still halfway to the fork.

Han Ying was out of breath after walking for a while.

One is windy and breathless,

The other is to go in a hurry, and the girl is not physically fit in the end.

In order to prevent her from dragging her back, Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui could only pull her arm one arm from one left and one right and drag her away.

After walking for a while, they were tired enough.

All three squatted on the side of the road to catch their breath and rest.

"Almost, let's go."

"Oops, I'm exhausted."

Han Ying gasped for white air, looking at the heavy snow, a little discouraged.

"I'm tired too."

Hu Dagui squatted on the ground and didn't want to get up.

"It's almost there, and there are two miles to go at most."

"Really?"

"Really, I'm fine, let's go, I'll be there soon!"

Lu Changhua said excitedly.

Only then did the two of them reluctantly get up and limp forward.

Seeing that the two of them were indeed a little out of strength, Lu Changhua was in the center and pulled them together.

No matter how long the road is, there will be a time when it will be finished.

When the three of them came to the fork in the road in embarrassment, the dilapidated passenger car was just about to start.

Lu Changhua took a few steps to the front of the car and stopped it.

The driver was startled when he saw the three snowmen stopping the car, but if he looked closely, it was a man from the farm who had entered the city.

In the rickety bus, the wind and snow are kept out.

The three of them slapped for a while before they sat down.

The vehicle was modified and the exhaust pipes were lengthened to run from the front of the car across the entire cabin.

As the bus roared in the wind and snow, the exhaust pipe was gradually heated and reddened.

After a while, there was a smell of burnt paste wafting from the kung fu carriage.

"Whose shoes are burning?! Whose shoes? ”

The driver shouted from the driver's seat without looking back.

"Oh my god, it's not shoes, it's pants!"

Someone, in order to keep warm, was too close to the exhaust pipe and actually baked a hole in his pants.

Everyone helped to extinguish the green smoke on their pants.

Lu Changhua and the others had already squinted in their seats, confused.

From east to west, across a large area of mountains and forests and fields, the bus entered the county seat of Bac Ninh.

The wind and snow in the county town are much lighter.

Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui were going to the machinery thrift market, Han Ying didn't want to suffer with them, so the three of them made an appointment to meet at the door of the first department store at noon, and they went their separate ways.

Lu Changhua took Hu Dagui and went straight to Qinghua Tool Factory.

This is a very famous military factory, which was moved from Shenyang back then.

It is a state-of-the-art military-industrial unit.

There is a second-hand market for old machinery near Qinghua, and Lu Changhua came here to see the situation.

This old machinery market is small, on a side street.

On both sides of the street, there are piles of used old machinery in the open air.

These iron guys are covered in snow.

There were no people on the streets, except for the occasional one or two who went out from the store to run errands.

Businesses on the street poured domestic sewage directly on the side of the street, forming a layer of ice, and pedestrians carefully stepped on the ice.

In the snow, Lu Changhua saw a shredder at a glance, the green paint was a little mottled, the wires were exposed, and the raw edges were flying.

He walked up to him, spun around a few times, cleared the snow with his gloves, and confirmed that the machine was a shredder.

This is exactly what the shredder he had seen in his previous life look like.

"Boss, boss, is anyone there?!"

Lu Changhua shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

A nearby door was pushed open, and an old man with a scruffy beard poked his head out.

With a white breath in his mouth, he asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Is this machine yours?"

"Yes, either?"

"How much?"

The old man glanced at Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui, and saw that they were two and a half children, so he quoted a price indiscriminately.

"Two hundred!"

As soon as Lu Changhua heard that the price was outrageously high, he bargained: "Your price is too expensive, cheaper?!" ”

The old man saw that the two boys were bargaining, and he might really mean to buy, so he said, "It's not much cheaper, at most ten yuan cheaper." ”

Lu Changhua picked up Hu Dagui and walked forward.

"Let's go, Dagui, go to another house."

"Eh, how much do you say?!"

"Don't, it's too expensive, the boss is not sincere in selling it!"

Seeing that Lu Changhua really had the intention of buying, the old man hurried out, chased after him and said, "Come, little brother, go into the house to warm up, let's talk slowly!" ”

"What are you talking about at this price? How much does a new one cost? ”

"Uh, little brother, in this way, if you sincerely want it, I will sell you, and I will never ask for more than one hundred and two, what's the matter?"

"Boss, if you are sincere, I will be eighty."

"What? Such a big machine, only eighty? No, no. ”

"Hehe, if it doesn't work, forget it, let's go to another house and have a look."

"Brother, scrap iron is more than this price!"

The old man's face was twisted.

"Let's see, see."

Seeing that Lu Changhua was leaving, the old man was really anxious. This kind of iron guy is here to occupy a place, not to mention, but also to occupy the book, let's go back to the original first.

"Okay, my brother is a real person, eighty is eighty! Sold you! ”

The old man pulled Lu Changhua to death, for fear that he would run away.
