After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 384 Opportunity

Jiang Xia walked into the kitchen.

The whole kitchen was steaming hot.

Tian Caihua is cutting the vermicelli skin, cutting out strips of vermicelli, just like rice noodles.

"Mom, are you making pho?"

"My mother's side calls it Wo Zai Noodles, which is similar to rice noodles. It's made of rice milk."

"How can I help?"

Mother Zhou opened the lid of the big iron pot, and another wave of hot air surged up: "No, the steam is strong here, so don't come in. Are you tired after a day out today? If you are tired, go back to the house and have a rest. You will be fine in a while. , no need to help.”

"I'm not tired. I went back to my parents' house and took a nap before going home." Jiang Xia saw a round non-porous dustpan in the iron nest with a thin layer of transparent powder steamed on it.

The steam is steaming, and the moment the lid is opened, the steam puffs up the dough.

Mother Zhou quickly picked up the dustpan from the iron nest, placed it vertically on the large wooden basin on the ground, and leaned against the edge of the stove to steady it.

There are already two dustpans leaning against the edge of the stove, both of which have dust.

"Tonight we will have seafood rice noodles. Do you want soup noodles, rice noodles, or stir-fried rice noodles?" There was a wooden bucket at Zhou's mother's feet containing a little bit of white rice milk that was about to bottom out. She picked up another empty dustpan, scooped a little rice milk onto the dustpan, held the dustpan with both hands and turned it so that the rice milk evenly covered the entire dustpan, and then steamed it in a large iron pot.

Steam for a minute or two.

Jiang Xia: "Get some noodles! I'll handle the seafood."

Mother Zhou: "No, it's almost done. I'll just do it."

"The seafood noodles made by mom are delicious, you can try it just in time." Tian Caihua finished cutting three pieces of noodles, then picked up a dustpan and carefully peeled off the cool noodles.

After peeling off about a quarter, she used a rolling pin to hold the pink skin, and then used the rolling pin to carefully peel off the entire pink skin.

Place it on the empty round dustpan aside, and fold it into three layers like a quilt, so that it can be cut into strips later.

After that, go and peel off a piece of pink skin.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law work together seamlessly, one steams the noodles and the other peels the noodles.

Jiang Xia stepped forward to help cut it, and took the cut vermicelli to dry on the bamboo pole.

Those scraps are short and difficult to dry, and they will be dinner tonight.

When Zhou Chenglei came to the entrance of the production team and lined up to buy rice noodles, people in the village gathered around him and asked: "Lei, didn't your mother buy three big bags of rice noodles? Isn't that enough?"

"Um."

"A Lei, are you using white sugar to make rice noodles? Tsk, you're so willing!"

"Ah Lei is so capable and makes so much money. It's just a little bit of sugar. It's not like he can't afford it, so why can't he give it up?"

Just a little saccharin is enough. White sugar is not as sweet as saccharin, so you need to add a little more. The price is still expensive, so no one is willing to buy it to make rice noodles.

Not Jiang Xiati, Zhou Chenglei didn't think of using white sugar.

"Lei, how much does your new tractor cost? Can you lend it to my family to plow the land after the Chinese New Year?"

As soon as this was said, a group of people rushed forward to borrow the tractor.

"Ah Lei, please lend it to my family to plow the fields when the time comes! My family ranks second!"

"Alei, my family wants to borrow it too, I'm third!"

"I am fourth, Ah Lei, I also want to borrow the tractor, I am fourth!"

…

An hour ago, Zhou Chengxin drove back with a new tractor, shocking the entire dock.

Tractor!

Every household wants to have a tractor.

You can haul fish to sell, haul grain, carry people, and plow fields. How convenient is that? Who doesn't want to have one? For villagers, this is a more practical means of transportation than motorcycles.

The villagers had been gathering around Zhou Chengxin's new tractor for a long time while picking flowers in the field.

Knowing that it was Zhou Chenglei who bought it, I sighed again.

So rich!

Zhou Chenglei knew that the villagers would gather around him, so he just didn't feel comfortable letting Jiang Xia line up to get rice.

He only replied: "Okay, two yuan to cultivate an acre of land."

In an instant, many villagers shut up and stopped talking about borrowing money. Some of them were so angry that they couldn't help but say:

"Do you still want more money?"

“Two yuan per acre is too expensive!”

"Lei, can it be cheaper? Two yuan an acre is too expensive. Can two yuan a day be enough?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

…

Zhou Chenglei: "Rent a tractor to plow the land for 20 yuan a day, eight hours, and the gas fee is not included. You have to pay for the gas yourself."

Zhou Chenglei didn't plan to make the money himself, and he didn't have the time.

When the time comes, let the eldest brother do it when he has time. If the eldest brother doesn't have time, find someone else to do it.

He bought this tractor to facilitate his family's delivery of dried fish to the city, not to make money.

Someone listened and whispered:

"The richer you are, the stingier you get. We all have the surname Zhou and are all brothers. We have to pay for borrowing a tractor."

"It's so expensive! Two yuan per acre, it's better to wait in line and use the production team."

…

Zhou Li walked out of the production team and heard a few women in the village who were notoriously lazy and talkative gathered together to talk about things. It was Zhou Chenglei who was talking about them, so she said, "Isn't it normal to charge money? People spend three to four thousand yuan to buy I’ll lend you the tractor for free, of course I bought it to make money.”

"It doesn't cost money. If you come to borrow it, you'll lose money on gas! And if it's worn out, who does it belong to? It costs money to repair and maintain the tractor! Who pays for the repair?"

After Zhou Li finished speaking, she walked towards Zhou Chenglei and said with a smile: "Lei, thank you for calling the ambulance to take Xiaowan to the hospital. When Guohua arrived at the hospital, he originally wanted to pick up Wenwan, but he didn't expect that she almost fainted as soon as she walked out of the hospital. fall."

"I just called back and said she was going to be hospitalized for one night. The doctor said she was severely malnourished. The child was vomiting so much and dared to run to the city alone, which would cause trouble for others. What if she fainted along the way? Today Fortunately I met you, sorry for bothering you!"

Zhou Chenglei: "As long as everything is fine."

"The child had severe morning sickness recently. She vomited after eating and couldn't eat anything, which led to malnutrition. Guohua and my sister-in-law tried their best to get her food."

Zhou Chenglei said nothing and turned his head to look at the sea.

Seeing that Zhou Chenglei was silent, Zhou Li immediately changed the subject: "I heard that Xiaoxia is also pregnant. Is your health okay? Do you have morning sickness?"

"It's okay, not yet."

"It would be nice if she didn't. It's very hard for this woman to have a baby. She suffers from morning sickness in the early stages. As her belly gets bigger and bigger, she has difficulty bending over, walking, and breathing. In the later stages, her feet will become swollen and she will have trouble sleeping and eating..."

Zhou Chenglei said nothing, hoping that Jiang Xia would not encounter this.

Zhou Li is used to observing words and expressions. Seeing that Zhou Chenglei seemed to be listening, she immediately continued to share: "The closer to giving birth, the harder it becomes. Finally, when it comes to giving birth, the pain is excruciating! The throbbing pain can literally kill someone." , I gave birth to my first child, and it took me two days and one night of pain to give birth! Even if it hurts a lot, I can’t shout loudly, I have to conserve my strength. If I shout too much, I won’t have the energy to give birth later..."

"After giving birth to a child, confinement is even worse. The child cries and cannot sleep well. If you don't get enough rest, your health will not be good and you will easily suffer from confinement syndrome..."

…

Zhou Li kept talking and didn't stop until Zhou Chenglei finished beating Mitong and left.

Zhou Li watched Zhou Chenglei leave with two big bags of rice and thought about bringing some fruit or something to thank Jiang Xia tomorrow.

Originally she was worried that she didn't have a chance to talk to Jiang Xia, but it just so happened that they helped Wen Wan today, so she had a chance.
