Now the supply and marketing cooperatives have long been privately contracted, so when the clerk heard that they wanted to buy shoes, he asked them the size of the shoes with a good attitude before taking out the shoes for them to try on.

Xiao Hong was happy when she paid the money, but she was a little distressed after paying.

She still has a lot of money now, but if she can't get in and out, I'm afraid she won't be able to spend money for long like this.

But she doesn't want to live a hard life, so when she thinks about it, she still has to find a way to earn some pocket money.

Now that it's hot, the sugar gets sticky, so she buys biscuits, peach crisps, and a bucket of malt cream.

Xiao Fang saw her spending money so lavishly, and suspected that she was going to have a heart attack: "Why are you buying these?" Spend money recklessly! ”

She can now understand why Liu Meijuan, the stepmother, can't tolerate Xiao Hong, just by virtue of her spending money like running water, I'm afraid that her own mother can't tolerate it.

"Malt milk essence is for grandparents, biscuits are for uncles, and peach crisp is reserved for us to pad our stomachs when we are hungry."

Xiao Hong actually didn't want to spend this money, but she also deceived Grandma Zhao yesterday, and her conscience was a little uneasy.

It is the most difficult to absorb the kindness of the elderly.

She was ruthless and bought a bucket of malt cream.

She can't afford to buy any good supplements, and malt milk essence is also a luxury item of Grandma Zhao's time, and some old people think that this is a tonic.

And she has her own little calculations.

If you give money, you can't give up more money, and you can't take it if you don't have it.

But this malt milk essence can be eaten for a long time, don't they all say that they take other people's hands and eat other people's mouths?

In the future, Grandma Zhao was embarrassed to turn her face and not recognize people.

"It's still thoughtful." When Xiao Fang heard her say this, she was embarrassed to mutter.

Xiao Hong, who originally needed to enlighten herself, has become so sensible, she is a little unaccustomed to it.

The current round biscuit is full of milk, Yanyan is holding a biscuit in her hand, eating it little by little, I can't wait for everyone to see her eating biscuits today.

She really likes this big sister so much.

When they went to the vegetable market again, they saw seven or eight more customers gathered around the meat stall.

Nowadays, people don't buy meat at all, so they gather around there to pick fat and slim: "Bring me half a catty of fat pork belly." ”

"Cut me some pork liver, just cut it in half."

"Boss, your pig is too thin, and he doesn't have any fat."

Xiao Hong squeezed in and saw the pork with a thick layer of fat, and suspected that there was something wrong with people's eyes, how could she bear to say that she was thin with such a fat pig?

Xiao Fang's eyes quickly pointed to the meat on the case: "Uncle, the meat here helps me weigh three catties." ”

Xiao Hong saw a large pot of pigs under the table going into the water, so she simply leaned over to the proprietress and whispered, "Auntie, can you get all these cheaper?" ”

The proprietress is also worried about these pigs going into the water.

It's too hot now, and it stinks even more in the afternoon, and I don't want anyone to buy it.

She said very simply: "The large intestine, pig heart and pig lungs were originally triangular one catty, and the two pieces of water must be at least more than forty catties, if you take them all, just give eleven yuan." ”

Xiao Hong felt that it was not expensive, but she still bargained: "It's just ten yuan, right?" You see my sister bought so much meat. ”

"Your family is going to do something, right? Then I'm really losing a lot of money. The proprietress agreed with a painful face, and seeing that she did not bring a basin or a bucket, she quickly put two pieces of pig water into a sack for her.

Xiao Fang bought the meat, and when she saw her sister carrying a sack that was still dripping with unknown liquid, she was not good: "You are crazy, what are you doing with so many pigs in the water?" Ming'er is all spoiled. ”

Xiao Hong saw that she couldn't wait to let herself go back into the water, so she hurriedly pulled her and whispered: "Shh, grandma taught me to do this, I can make it into lo-mei to make money, but it's a little troublesome to clean up." ”

Xiao Fang looked skeptical: "You really will?" How did I not know that my grandmother still had this craft? If you don't get it right, it costs money, effort and firewood. ”

In the past, my grandmother was always worried that she would be laughed at for doing business, "Anyway, my grandmother has passed away, and now there is no proof of death."

Xiao Hong is not afraid of being exposed: "But this is the craft of my grandmother's family, and I will definitely be able to make money." ”

She definitely wants to pull her into the gang: "Take advantage of the summer vacation, let's work hard, and we can earn out the tuition fees and pocket money." ”

Xiao Fang was very moved when he heard this: "Okay, then let's try." ”

Seeing her spend money so happily before, it also stimulated her in the end.

Xiao Hong put the sack on the side and looked around: "Then I'll go buy some spices." ”

There are only simple spices such as cinnamon and star anise in the vegetable market, and she can't buy all the spices she wants, so she finally went to the pharmacy to buy cloves, fennel, tangerine peel, cypress leaves, and grass fruits.

I bought baking soda and bulk liquor again.

She came out today with a hundred dollars, which she thought was enough.

But the malt milk essence and the little white shoes cost nearly seventy yuan, and the spices were not cheap, so she bought more, and finally spent the few dollars left by Xiao Fang.

The three sisters rode their bicycles home with empty pockets.

By the time they got home, it was already past ten o'clock.

The vegetables had been picked back in the morning, and they were simply cleaned up, Yanyan burned the fire, Xiao Fang took the spoon, and Xiao Hong went to clean up the pigs.

There is a stream next to their house, and if you put the pigs in a basket, put them in the stream, and stir them with sticks, you can wash away some of the smell.

Xiao Hong squatted under the tree and turned the large intestine over with chopsticks to clean up the grease and dirt, the smell was really strong and pungent.

To be honest, Xiao Hong was reluctant to do lo-mei business at first because it was too painful to clean the pig's large intestine.

But now she wants her family to support her, so she can only make it first, and when everyone tastes it, then she will not be afraid that her efforts will be in vain, and someone will come to help her.

Anyway, her plan was to let her mother clean up the pigs for herself, and when she earned some money and went to school, she would hand over the business to her mother.

Although this is a bit hard, it is definitely more profitable than farming chickens and ducks.

However, it is difficult to say whether this business can last long, because there are only two meat stalls in the town, and if someone is jealous of their business and is vying for pigs to go into the water, then they are afraid that they will have to find another way.

There are not many people doing business now, one is the old thinking, and they feel ashamed to do business.

The second is that business requires capital, and everyone is worried about losing their money.

In fact, eighty-three years later, most of the people who do business can make money, and they are the first batch of 10,000 yuan households.

But they're a little bit more remote from the city, and people are more conservative.

According to her memory, it will be two years before the streets will be lively.

Fortunately, Xiao Hong has a lot of ways to do business in her memory, as long as she can make money this time, Uncle Zhao and her mother will accept their other suggestions.

For example, if you go to the town to open a shop, you can sell stationery near the school, and you can open a small restaurant near the station, and you will definitely earn more than farming.

However, the business is not like the current lo-mei petty fight, you have to invest money to see the benefits.
