Reborn 80's wife is sassy and hot

Chapter 7 Making money to marry my brother

After Wang Guifen and the others left, Shi Xiaolin was immersed in how to fry French fries, how to make ketchup and other things. Shi Xiaohong had already gone to work. First, he cleaned the floor at home, chopped up the grass to feed the chickens, put in some cornmeal, and stirred

Stir and feed the chicken!

Shi Xiaolin recorded the steps, picked up a dozen potatoes from the potatoes on the ground, peeled them, cut them into strips, put a little salt on them, and soaked them in water.

After doing this, she entered the room and saw Shi Xiaohong squatting on the ground reading a book. The third-grade English book in his hand was almost ruined by him.

Shi Xiaolin stood there, a feeling of guilt welling up in her heart. Only then did she realize how selfish she was in her previous life. She did it for love, but what about the people in her family? Didn't they work hard for Du Wentao to read because they loved her?

Three full years of junior college?

At some point, tears rolled down from her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears. The third brother was only in his twenties, not too old. In this era, there are many people, many of whom are still in junior high school at the age of 18. She must work hard to earn

Money, let third brother go to school!

Shi Xiaolin originally wanted to make some French fries and bread, but there was no flour at home. She did have a few dollars, and she didn't know if she could buy flour with this little money.

It is best to soak potato strips for more than four hours, so that they are delicious when fried. There is also tomato sauce. Shi Xiaolin stood in her yard. The tomato seedlings only reached her ankles. There were no tomatoes. She stood at the edge of the vegetable garden for a long time.

.

Shi Xiaohong searched around the house but couldn't find Shi Xiaolin. He didn't expect that she was in the vegetable garden.

"Little sister, why are you here?"

Shi Xiaohong's voice is also very gentle. He is tall and thin, and his shadow grows longer in the sun.

Shi Xiaolin looked sad: "Third brother, I want to sell something to make money, but I found that there are no tomatoes!"

Shi Xiaohong waved to her: "If there are no tomatoes, there will be no tomatoes. We can't do business now. Look at our village. They go to the county to sell some things and have to be secretive. We just plant crops honestly. This year's seedlings are very green.

I think the harvest will be good this year!”

That's right. Only then did Shi Xiaolin remember that it was now 1981. Although it was open to the outside world, people still didn't dare to buy and sell on a large scale. People mainly went to supply and marketing cooperatives, international trade, etc. In their village, many people still used tickets.

exchange.

Shi Xiaohong saw Shi Xiaolin looking depressed and pointed to a bayberry tree not far away: "How about I pick some bayberries for you?"

April and May of the lunar calendar are the seasons for eating bayberry. There is a bayberry tree behind their house. The year after they separated, Shi Guangyao dug it up and planted it. Over the years, their family has been able to eat bayberry every year.

Yes, there are also loquats.

Shi Xiaolin raised her head and looked along Shi Xiaohong's hand. She could see purple, black and red bayberries on the bayberry tree. Before she even ate them, she couldn't help but feel so salivated that her saliva almost flowed out.

"Third brother, wait a minute!"

Shi Xiaolin went to move a stool, and Shi Xiaohong stood up to pick her bayberries while she held the basket. After a while, the brother and sister picked a whole basket of bayberries.

Shi Xiaohong washed the bayberries for Shi Xiaolin: "They are sour and sweet, almost like tomatoes. You can eat more later!"

Shi Xiaolin's eyes lit up. At this time, if someone gave a gift, they would usually give malted milk and canned food. The canned food was very expensive, costing more than two yuan a can. Among them, the canned bayberry was one that left a deep impression on Shi Xiaolin.

"Third brother, our bayberries taste pretty good!" Shi Xiaolin ate one. This bayberry tree was specially brought back from the mountain by Shi Guangyao. The bayberries are big and round. When mature, they are basically purple-black.

, less sour taste.

“Eat more if you like it!”

Shi Xiaolin ate two more pills: "Third brother, what do you think about us making the bayberries into cans and selling them?"

Shi Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Can you imagine that the bayberry we made would be so delicious?" In his memory, he had eaten canned food once, and it was his second brother who brought it back to him.

The sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue from the canned yellow peaches was something he could never forget.

Shi Xiaolin glanced at Shi Xiaohong. Canning is actually very easy to make. She had done it in her previous life. She was worried not that she couldn't make the taste of canned bayberry. What she was worried about was that she didn't have glass bottles or packaging materials!

"Third brother, I'm going to see how much candy is left at home!"

Shi Xiaohong didn't know what the little sister was doing, so he followed over and saw Shi Xiaolin holding the candy jar with a bitter look on her face.

Yesterday, she ate two boiled eggs. Everyone in her family knew that she loved sweets, so Shi Xiaoyong gave her all the candies in the candy jar.

In 1981, the price of sugar was 89 cents per catty, but you could only buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative, which meant that you could only redeem it with sugar stamps. Throughout the year, my family only received half a catty of sugar stamps, and almost all of it was eaten by myself.

, now there is no sugar at home at all.

"What's wrong? Do you dislike the sour bayberry?"

To be honest, these bayberries are not sour, but Shi Xiaohong knows that his sister just likes to eat sweet things.

Shi Xiaolin shook her head: "Third brother, are all the candy coupons at home gone?"

Shi Xiaohong nodded: "Yes, I have redeemed it a long time ago!"

Shi Xiaolin sighed, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She knows what to do to make money and what the future will be like, but she has no capital, no money, no tickets!

A sense of powerlessness instantly filled Shi Xiaolin. Her face was filled with frustration. She grabbed a small skewer and sat down, holding her chin in her hands: "Third brother, you know, I can make cans. There are so many bayberries on our bayberry tree.

At least we can make one or two hundred bottles of canned bayberry. If others sell it for two yuan, our family will buy it for one yuan and a half! In this way, it will only cost several hundred yuan, which is enough for my eldest brother to get a wife!"

When Shi Xiaohong heard Shi Xiaolin's words, he felt very uncomfortable.

There are three brothers in their family, and Shi Xiaolin is the youngest and only girl. Her parents have loved her since she was a child, and their third brother has also doted on her. Although she is sometimes willful and indulgent, in the eyes of their brothers, her sister has a pure nature!

"Little sister~~"

Shi Xiaolin suddenly raised her head: "Third brother, why don't we go pick up glass bottles?"

Shi Xiaohong immediately dispelled Shi Xiaolin's fantasy: "Who would throw away a glass bottle? After eating, the glass bottle can be used as a thermos and can hold things, who would take it out and throw it away?"

Shi Xiaolin was immediately stunned. Yes, this is no longer the decades in the future.

"Oh, third child, did you pick the bayberries for my little sister?"

Shi Xiaoyong and Shi Xiaowei came in from outside carrying four baskets of potatoes.

Shi Xiaohong hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Shi Xiaoyong waved his hand: "Go over there, go and get me some bayberries to eat, I'm dying of thirst!"

Shi Xiaohong handed a large pot of bayberry to Shi Xiaoyong and Shi Xiaowei: "Brother, are you going to the tile factory? Can I go with you today?"
