Chapter 24: Bacon Flatbread Launched
Hua Xi remembers very well that she baked a total of fifty-six flatbreads, excluding the two for Uncle Cui, and sold fifty-four flatbreads. I don't remember how much mashed potatoes sold, she gave a total of six or seven bowls to the vendors in the same market, not counting the gifts, and the rest sold more than 20 bowls, and a large pot of mashed potatoes didn't even have soup left.
Hua Xi took out all the money stuffed in his trouser pocket, sorted it out one by one, counted it carefully, and then froze.
Feeling incredulous, she took a deep breath and counted again with her head down, believing that she had not made a mistake the first time.
She sold it for thirty-two yuan at noon!
At first glance, thirty-two yuan is the money she used to order a rice bowl with meat in her previous life, but after seeing the prices of this period when she bought meat in the morning, Hua Xi knew very well that this was already a lot of money.
After all, now, the salary of an ordinary worker is only more than 30 yuan a month. And without counting the cost, it only took her one noon to earn this money.
Hua Xi sighed for a long time with the bits and pieces of money, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Removing the ten yuan that Song Dongquan lent her, she actually earned twenty-one yuan today!
Sure enough, doing business requires a head start. As long as she grasps it well, as long as she is willing to endure hard work, she will definitely earn more in the future.
Hua Xi carefully wrapped the money in a handkerchief and stuffed it into the inner pocket of her clothes, and then she had to buy a wallet, no, the wallet was easy to be robbed on her body, and she went to the bank every day to save it to be insured.
Hua Xi was thinking about how much flour and meat should be prepared for tomorrow's business, and walked happily in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative.
……
When Hua Xi returned to the village, it was already evening, and she hurriedly went to cook, and after the meal was ready, she looked up at the door from time to time.
Strange, why didn't the man come back, it stands to reason that he should be home every day at this time.
Hua Yong looked at his granddaughter's appearance, and his face bloomed with joy, "Xi'er, don't look at it, Dongquan was sent to the county for a meeting by the village chief, saying that he would not come back until tomorrow." ”
"Song Dongquan went to the county?" Hua Xi was a little surprised, but her heart was a little empty.
She didn't go to the town because she was worried about being discovered, but went to the county instead, but she didn't expect Song Dongquan to go to the county seat too, she wouldn't be discovered, right?
"Dongquan heard that you went into the city alone, and he was very worried, and it happened that the village chief said that the county asked each village to send young people to learn what fertilizer, so the village chief let Dongquan go, didn't he go to you?"
"The county is too big, maybe we're on a bad trip." Hua Xi responded, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The county government is quite far from the train station, and it is estimated that it was not seen by the man, which is fortunately.
She didn't wait for Song Dongquan any longer, she was going to eat with her grandfather first, and when the dinner was served on the kang table, Old Man Hua raised his head in shock, "Xi'er, this is ......"
A large bowl of white gnocchi soup, the gnocchi soup is clearly mixed with a lot of minced meat, the mouth of the bowl is floating with meat oil, and Huaxi also puts a little cabbage and green onion to taste.
Hua Xi didn't eat white noodles herself, and simply made a few cornmeal steamed buns.
Seeing her grandfather's surprised appearance, she smiled and put the spoon into the bowl and brought it to her grandfather.
"Grandpa, I went to the county seat today to find a job and earned a little money, I will work hard in the future, make you good food every day, and strive to recuperate your body."
"Making money? Xi'er, what kind of job are you looking for, do you have no money to spend again? ”
Where can Hua Yong eat, he looked at his granddaughter anxiously and said: "What kind of work are you going out to do at such a young age, if the money is not enough, grandpa will find a way, and grandpa will pay back the pension next month!" ”
The granddaughter has been squeamish since she was a child, and she is unwilling to plant the family's own land, but now she is forced to go into the city to find work, how can he be willing.
Hua Yong said that he was about to go to the ground, "I'll go out and borrow money!" You won't be allowed to go out tomorrow, grandpa doesn't agree! ”
"Grandpa, don't go!"
Hua Xi was moved by helplessness, and she could understand why the original owner developed that kind of temperament, which was inseparable from the pampering of her family.
She hugged her grandfather and said in a firm tone: "Grandpa, no matter whether our family has money or not, I have to go out to work, I can't rely on you for the rest of my life!" Besides, can you support me for the rest of my life? ”
"Xi'er, grandpa......" Hua Yong also knew that what his granddaughter said was reasonable, but he was still reluctant to let her suffer, and said hesitantly: "Isn't there still Dongquan......"
"Grandpa, I can't always rely on others all my life, people have to learn to support themselves!"
"Even if it is a husband and wife, no one is obliged to support each other for a lifetime, they must pay for the family, so that the marriage can last for a long time. What's more, grandpa, what a wonderful person Song Dongquan is, you have also seen it, if I keep stagnating, after a hundred years, when he no longer cares about the kindness of the Hua family, do you think he will always live with me? ”
Hua Yong looked at his granddaughter in shock, opened his mouth, and could no longer speak.
Outside the door, the tall man put the bicycle away, and before he could enter the house, he heard Hua Xi's words, and his footsteps stopped unconsciously, and there was indescribable shock in his eyes.
Hua Xi didn't notice Song Dongquan, but helped his grandfather sit back on the kang and put the hot bowl of pimple soup in his grandfather's hand again.
She also knew that her tone was heavy just now, so she lowered her voice and persuaded the old man: "Grandpa, I know you feel sorry for me, but I am not a child now, people always have to grow up."
"You see, I don't know how to do the work in the fields, and I can't help me. There are many opportunities in the county, I just want to try, the reform and opening up is about to be carried out, and there will be more opportunities for people to make money later, grandpa, you let me try, please. ”
In the end, Hanaki was almost coquettish.
Hua Yong looked at his granddaughter like this, his eyes were a little red, looking at Jiaojiao who had hurt since he was a child, and said with a little choked up: "My family Xi'er has really grown up, grandpa supports you, no matter what Xi'er wants to do, grandpa will support it."
"Grandpa, try the pimple soup I made, quick, see if it's fragrant, I deliberately put sesame oil!"
"The things my granddaughter makes are naturally the best!"
……
In the house, the grandfather and grandson ate happily again. And Song Dongquan, who had been standing outside the door, was so shocked that he forgot his movements.
Reform...... He also heard this news from a very special person some time ago, because it was confidential, and the less than 20 people present were strictly required to keep it secret at that time, and even if the specific policy was set, it would not be announced until the end of the year or next year.
How would Hanaki know?
Moreover, her tone just now seemed casual, but in fact she was almost certain that this thing would definitely be implemented. Where did Hana Xi get the news, and who is she?
Song Dongquan's eyes deeply locked the round figure in the room, and the dark color under his eyes deepened and became more and more difficult to understand.
