Chapter 11 Marketing
The two bought a lot of things in the supply and marketing cooperative, and walked around the nearby market, and soon it was noon.
Xu Hui took Yi Yan and the others to the place that sold snacks on East Street, wanting to find a stall to eat something, and then go home after they were full.
Every time you go to the market on this side of East Street, there will be a lot of food stalls, such as scallion pancakes and meat buns, all kinds of colors, and the streets are full of fragrance.
As soon as Yi Yan got closer, she smelled the mixed fragrance of all kinds of food, and the crowd was lively and lively, and it was also very atmospheric.
"What does Xiaoyan want to eat? Do you want to eat noodles or steamed buns? There is a good bun here, and the Yangchun noodles opposite are also delicious. Xu Hui said.
"I want to eat steamed buns! Big meat buns. Yi Yuxuan jumped excitedly and said happily.
"Then let's eat meat buns." Yi Yan is not picky about eating, and the food in this era is green and safe, so she doesn't have to be afraid of any artificial meat.
"Let's go." Xu Hui led the way.
After walking a little further, I came to the door of a steamed bun shop, and there were two large steaming drawers at the door, steaming hot, steaming steamed buns.
The aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of noodles drifted far away, attracting many people to buy it, and there were many customers sitting in the small shop.
Xu Hui was afraid that she would not have enough to eat, so she asked for twelve big buns and three bowls of porridge.
A few people took the dishes and went into the small shop, found a table and sat down.
Then, Yi Yan found two familiar figures on the table in the corner.
"Eat, eat more, Dabao has lost weight recently, eat more, grow more meat." Liu Yulian sat against the wall, holding a bun in her hand, and while eating it, she asked Qin Dabao on the opposite side to eat more.
Qin Dabao didn't need to say it at all, grabbed the bun with both hands, ate one in a few bites, and then picked up the second one.
"Mom, this bun is so delicious, let's come back tomorrow to eat!" Qin Dabao said while humming and eating.
It eats like a pig.
Liu Yulian nodded and said, "Okay, let's come back tomorrow, Qin Yuecheng went to the mountain, it is estimated that he may not come back in the next two days, let's take advantage of these days to eat more." ”
Qin Yuecheng has gone up the mountain?
Yi Yan was stunned when she heard this.
She remembered that Qin Yuecheng often went up the mountain to chop firewood and sold it to subsidize the family, but what kind of firewood did he chop, and he didn't come back for several days?
Where does he live alone in the mountains?
Listening to Liu Yulian's tone, it seems that this is not the first time, so to speak, Qin Yuecheng has been alone on the mountain for several days before.
There is not even a serious place to live on that mountain, and he knows that he can't eat or sleep well, but Qin Yuecheng would rather be on the mountain than go home, which shows how disgusted he is with this home.
Yi Yan felt more and more distressed about Qin Yuecheng, and when she saw the mother and son in the corner eating with their mouths full of oil, she felt even more angry.
There were two plates of steamed buns on the table between the two, both of which were pure meat buns like Yi Yan and their side.
This bun costs two cents a piece, the price is not cheap, ordinary people are usually reluctant to eat, but it is just to catch the market, Xu Hui will be willing to spend this money.
They can actually come and eat several meals in a row, is this called poverty? Where is there no money?
And all this money was exchanged for Qin Yuecheng's work, but Qin Yuecheng couldn't eat it, they secretly ate it behind Qin Yuecheng's back!
The more Yi Yan thought about it, the more angry she became, and she wanted to go over and lift the table, but reason made her suppress her impulse.
"Xiaoyan, why don't you eat it? Eat quickly......" Xu Hui saw that she kept looking to the side, and she also glanced over there, and then found Liu Yulian and them.
"These two people are really shameless, the family's work is earned by Yue Cheng, but they eat and drink here and don't feed Yue Cheng!" Xu Hui frowned deeply, she was also very disgusted with Liu Yulian.
It's just that Qing officials can't take care of housework, and she, an outsider, can't do anything else except scold them.
Seeing Yi Yan's cold face, she knew that Yi Yan couldn't stand it, and persuaded, "Xiaoyan, let's eat quickly, the buns will be cold in a while, Liu Yulian is so used to Qin Dabao, this child will be useless in the future, he is lazy all day long, and he can't compare to Yuecheng at all." ”
Oh, yes!
Yi Yan secretly said in her heart, she was just a stealing thing.
She wants to see if Qin Dabao is gone, and if Liu Yulian can still be as free as she is today!
Being angry by these two people, Yi Yan looked at the buns on the table and had no appetite, so she only picked up one and ate it slowly, thinking about her own plan in her heart.
According to the plot of the original book, half a month later, Yi Yan's family will get a sewing machine.
This sewing machine was given to Yi Chenggang by Yi Laoer, who was far away in Ningcheng.
At this time, you need a ticket to buy anything, cloth stamps, grain stamps, and sewing machines also need sewing machine commodity stamps.
Among them, commodity tickets are the most rare, even if ordinary people have money, they can't get commodity tickets, only people with access can get them.
In the entire village, except for Zhao's tailor, no one has a sewing machine.
This sewing machine was quite a luxury item in the 70s.
At that time, after Xu Hui received it, she was simply pleasantly surprised, and after taking the ticket to buy a sewing machine, she kept a low profile and did not hype about it.
There's no way, the sewing machine is too valuable, and I'm always afraid that someone in the village will remember it and steal it again.
After all, there are not people at home all the time, and when rural people go out, the yard is generally not locked, and there is really nothing very safe at home.
Xu Hui's low-key Yi Yan is understandable.
It was precisely because of Xu Hui's low profile that she avoided some coveting - the sneaky Qin Dabao didn't know that the Yi family had a sewing machine, so he went to steal the neighbor's chicken, and later stole a motorcycle and was caught.
According to the plot, Yi Yan put the sewing machine in the plan.
She wanted to use the sewing machine to arouse Qin Dabao's covetousness, and then get the stolen goods on the spot, when such a big handle was in her hand, even if Liu Yulian was unwilling, she could only admit to her, be at her mercy, and let Qin Yuecheng leave.
But the sewing machine will not arrive until half a month later, and now that Liu Yulian is so angry that Yi Yan even wants to clean up Qin Dabao immediately.
Even without a sewing machine, she didn't have another way.
Just like the method that Yi Qianqian used at the beginning, it is also very easy to use against Qin Dabao, a color embryo that has no idea and is lazy, as long as she seduces a little, she can make the other party take the bait.
When the time comes, set up a trap for Qin Dabao to make him a hooligan, Liu Yulian is afraid that she will kneel and cry and beg her.
But this would hinder her reputation, and she was afraid that Qin Yuecheng would misunderstand something, and she was also afraid that Qin Yuecheng would hear the discussion of the neighbors in the future.
Yi Yan took a deep breath and pressed down the idea that came to her heart.
Although she was relieved to do this, she didn't care about her reputation, but she cared about Qin Yuecheng's opinion, and she didn't want Qin Yuecheng to be talked about by the villagers because of her.
"Little aunt, why don't you eat it?" Yi Yuxuan ate up the two buns in a while, and when he reached out to get the third one, he saw that most of the buns in Yi Yan's hand were left.
"Don't you like to eat?"
"There's nothing I don't like, it's just that I'm not too hungry." Yi Yan said, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge, "You can eat more." ”
"Then I'm going to have to eat more." Yi Yuxuan nodded happily, and grabbed a bun with his other hand.
"No food protection." Xu Hui stretched out his chopsticks and slapped the back of his hand, "Take as much as you eat, don't you understand this bit of etiquette?" If you don't have enough to eat, mom can buy it again, don't do that. ”
Although she spoils her children, she doesn't spoil them, and she can't educate them like Qin Dabao's uneducated appearance.
Yi Yuxuan sneered and stuck out his tongue at her, "I was wrong Mom." Then he held the bun in both hands and ate it obediently.
Yi Yan only ate one bun in the end, because her appetite was too small, and the three of them didn't finish the twelve buns in the end, and there were two left.
Xu Hui naturally didn't waste it, so she asked the store for an oiled paper, wrapped it and took it away, and said that she would leave it for Yi Yan to eat at night.
"Mom, why don't you keep it for me to eat at night?" Yi Yuxuan ate five big buns, and his belly was round, but he couldn't even drink water.
But he still likes it when he sees the buns, and after digesting them, he still wants to eat them.
"You've eaten five, count how much you eat, don't keep it for your little aunt, do you keep it for you? The little aunt just ate one. Xu Hui patted him, "Let's go, I like to eat and I'll bring you to the market next time." ”
"Good!" Yi Yuxuan jumped up and said happily, "Mom is the best." ”
It's already afternoon when I get home, and it's not long before it's dinner time again.
As soon as Xu Hui came back, she began to work around the stove, preparing dinner, and when she was ready, Yi Cheng just came back from outside.
The family had dinner, and after the meal, Yi Yan returned to the room, took out the two-foot fabric and tools, and cut the fabric first.
She used chalk to draw marks and logos on the fabric, then slowly cut them according to the lines.
Xu Hui finished cleaning up the kitchen and came to her house to find that she had finished cutting all the cloth.
Xu Hui herself can also make clothes, but she can only make the simplest cotton clothes and cotton pants, and if it is more complicated and needs a style, she will not.
She cut the fabric of her cotton clothes and pants herself, but she cut them according to the paper patterns left by her mother-in-law.
So she couldn't quite see how Yi Yan cut it, but she still boasted, "Xiaoyan is fast, and she finished cutting the cloth in such a while." ”
"Yu Xuan is thinking about his pants, I want to make it for him as soon as possible, so that he can be happy." Yi Yan threaded the needle and threaded while chatting with Xu Hui.
Xu Hui smiled and said, "He is a hot character, children want to get everything immediately, you don't have to worry about him, just do it when you are free, you can't delay your studies, you will take the college entrance examination next year." ”
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't delay my studies." Yi Yan said confidently.
She was notoriously quick at making clothes, just such a pair of trousers, if there was a sewing machine, it would be a matter of hours.
Even if there is no sewing machine, she can do almost the same in more than three hours, and it is estimated that she will be able to get Yi Yuxuan on her body tomorrow, and it will indeed not delay her time to study.
And she also wants to get these pants done quickly and prove that she has the ability to make clothes.
In this way, Xu Hui will let her help make new clothes, and she can also show her talent in the village, attract traffic for herself, and open up sales.
