The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host. Mother Chen specially opened a can of chili sauce and placed it in front of Chen Xinghe. Chen Xinghe loved spicy food, so this chili sauce should suit his taste.

"Try it, your sister Qingqing brought this here, it tastes good."

Chen Xinghe looked at the red and oily chili sauce in the glass jar in front of him. He could not help but twitch his index fingers when he smelled the spicy but fragrant chili sauce.

Pick up a little bit with the tip of a chopstick and put it into your mouth. The spicy and exciting taste explodes on the tip of your tongue, and then, one chopstick after another.

Mother Chen found it funny to see her son eating well despite being elegant. She looked at Shen Changqing again and nodded with satisfaction.

……

After dinner, Chen Xiangwan took Shen Changqing back to the room. The aunt at home cleared the dishes, and Chen's mother and Chen Xinghe were leaving for the army.

In Chen Xiangwan's room, Shen Changqing told Chen Xiangwan about the shortbread, and also mentioned his plans and the feasibility of opening a store.

"Sister Wanwan, I would like to open a store, but I don't know if the current policy allows it."

Chen Xiangwan thought about the question raised by Shen Changqing for a long time, "It should be a bit difficult to open a store by yourself. How about I tell my aunt and give you a place in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

It is really difficult to be self-employed, and Chen Xiangwan doesn't know if the current policy allows it.

"By the way, if you're not in a hurry, I'll make some inquiries when my father comes back in the next few days, and then I'll give you the news."

"That's great, Sister Wanwan, I'll leave it to you." Shen Changqing pulled Chen Xiangwan's arm and acted coquettishly. Chen Xiangwan couldn't stand this.

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking, I'm not sure if it can work."

"I'll thank you for everything, sister Wanwan. It's the luckiest thing to know you."

Chen Xiangwan was elated when he said one sentence, "You are the only one who can speak."

The final result was to wait for Chen Xiangwan's father to come back and ask if there was anything he could do.

……

Shen Changqing knew in his heart that at this time, there was a high probability that self-employed people would not be allowed to exist, and it would be 1976 before the real opening up for business.

Prior to this, large cooperative stores were gradually converted into state-owned stores if conditions allowed.

However, there are always exceptions to everything. I heard that individual craftsmen, individual service and repair workers, individual tricycle workers, and domestic service personnel should still be allowed to exist.

If that doesn't work, it would be good to have a place in the supply and marketing cooperative.

At any rate, we can be considered as eating public food.

……

Before the Laba Festival, the village's annual pork sharing meeting began. In addition to the pigs handed over to the public, other villagers also brought in several pigs one after another. These pigs were reserved for the villagers and educated youths to share.

As for the two piglets that Mrs. Shen bought with her own money, there is no need to confiscate them when they are raised, but whoever helps kill the pigs can share some of the pork.

I heard the village chief use the loudspeaker of the village headquarters to say "Hey" several times, and then said:

"Villagers, gather in the open space in front of the village department to share the pork today."

"Villagers, gather in the open space in front of the village department to share the pork today."

He said it twice in a row, and the villagers were excited to hear it. Some families couldn't eat a meal of pork all year round, so when the meat was divided, each family could get half a catty and a catty per head.

Then the village became lively again.

Especially the daring children rushed to join in the fun. When the pigs were actually being killed, they covered their eyes one by one and peeked through their fingers.

When the pork was divided equally, the educated youths were still ranked last, and all they got were the lean meat that the aunts didn't like.

One by one, the villagers carried the pork and went home with smiles on their faces. They were happier than anyone else when they were carrying the pork.

When the pig was butchered, I received a large pot of pig blood. An aunt who knew how to cook made the pig blood into a jelly, which could be stewed with sauerkraut to make a pig-killer dish. In previous years, it would be stewed in the village for the whole family, but this year There are many people, and there are also many educated youths. This amount is really too great.

The village chief makes the decision. Whoever wants to eat this pot of pig blood can buy it. It is cheap, and you can buy a large piece for five cents.

There are also a few sets of pig water, which no one wants. These things smell so bad that just washing them takes a lot of money, so most people can't bear to part with them.

Moreover, a lot of spices are needed to cover up the smell, and it still smells bad when you eat it.

This was cheaper for Shen Changqing. All the pigs were packed and taken away for the price of a few kilograms of pork. It was a great value.

The food made by others is not delicious, but she can cook it, so she just thought she could make braised food and open a shop.

No one in Shen Changqing's family eats pig blood, so he doesn't ask for it, and with so many pigs in the water, it's enough to eat.

In addition to the two kilograms of pork they were given, Shen Changqing's family of four also wanted four pig's trotters, plus some pig meat that had been transported twice.

The villagers were all suspicious of this matter and didn't understand why the Shen family bought so much of such a smelly thing.

The pig's trotters were given to Aunt Su Xu Hejing. Counting the days, her aunt was almost four months pregnant. She had just made the pig's trotters sauce and brought some braised meat to grandma and grandpa to try.

The family washed the pigs in an orderly manner and teased the pigs' trotters in a lively manner.

Don't rush to eat the meat that's been divided. It's buried in the snow cellar made by Father Shen and will be taken out when it's time to eat.

Large iron pots are placed on both stoves in the kitchen, and they are braised at the same time. With so many pigs in the water, it is still necessary to braise them quickly, otherwise they will not taste fresh.

When Shen Changqing's braised food was halfway through, Chen Xiangwan came over. After the last separation, Shen Changqing left his home address to Chen Xiangwan, which was considered to be an invitation to Chen Xiangwan's home.

Chen Xiangwan smelled a scent before entering the yard. When he entered the yard, the smell was stronger. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Chen Xiangwan called out softly: "Qingqing, are you home?"

Shen Changqing responded, poked his head out of the kitchen, saw that it was Chen Xiangwan, wiped his hands on his apron, and came out to greet him.

"Qingqing, what are you doing? You can smell the fragrance from a long way away."

Shen Changqing gave it a try and said mysteriously: "You came just in time, you will know in a moment."

After all, this was her way to make a fortune, and she also wanted to make fried chicken and braised food for Chen Xiangwan to try.

Today, Chen Xiangwan came with good news. Although the country does not allow self-employed people to exist, there is always a favor in everything. As long as you pay the tax and complete all the procedures and business licenses required by the country, Opening a store is not impossible.

This is really great news for Shen Changqing. Shen's mother and Shen's father were so happy when they heard the news that they didn't know what to say.

So, Shen Changqing happily left Chen Xiangwan to eat: "Sister Wanwan, I plan to open a braised food restaurant. Today I made braised food for you to try. You can also give me some advice."
