The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband

The two people who had already set up their stalls nearby cast curious glances at me while chatting.

"New face? Your pickled radish looks good."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "It's a pity that people in the town despise this shabby thing. We country people can just make it ourselves."

Before he finished speaking, another woman selling cakes looked over, attracted by the sour smell.

"Not necessarily?" She lowered her head and carefully observed the tempting pickled radish slices that Lin Xiaoxue had neatly arranged in a porcelain bowl. "I think this girl is very particular about it!"

Lin Xiaoxue just smiled faintly and did not refute.

She knows that the most powerful proof in business is often the product itself.

Sure enough, before long, more and more customers passing by were attracted by the sour smell that could not be ignored.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Xiaoxue took out a small bowl and chopsticks from the cloth bag.

"Would you like to try some?" She politely extended a bowl filled with pickled radish slices.

The first person who tasted it couldn't help but exclaimed after putting it into his mouth: "Oh my! It's really refreshing and appetizing!"

He asked, “How much?”

"50 cents a pound." Lin Xiaoxue replied calmly.

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised: "50 cents? It's almost as expensive as eggs?"

Eggs cost 80 cents a pound, but eggs are precious.

The radishes grown in this field are not valuable.

But then other tasters echoed: "It's true, the taste is really authentic, it's good for whetting the appetite of the elderly at home."

There was a hint of approval and expectation in his words: "Weigh two kilograms for me to try."

With the completion of the first order, Lin Xiaoxue's pickled radish slices stall gradually became lively.

She looked at the faces of the onlookers who were still hesitant after tasting it, and explained with a smile: "My uncles and aunts, my pickled vegetables are different from others. They are refreshing and appetizing. They are best eaten with millet porridge in the morning. And they are easy to store."

Her tone was friendly and her attitude was confident.

Although the price is a bit painful, the tempting taste and texture cannot be resisted.

Customers pulled out their wallets one after another and said, "Give me two pounds to try."

"I want one pound too!"

Soon, there were only a few radish slices left in the glass jar in Lin Xiaoxue's hand that were originally full of radish slices.

There was even a plain-dressed lady who asked excitedly: "Comrade, your cooking skills are really good! When can I buy the pickled vegetables you made?"

Lin Xiaoxue smiled even more brightly: "I will come again in about four or five days, and I will bring other kinds of pickled vegetables in the future."

After chatting with the last customer, Lin Xiaoxue's pocket was full of change, all of which were fifty cents and one dollar coins saved up.

In the end, it was not enough for half a pound, so she shared it with the two stall owners next door.

The two stall owners who were discussing earlier now had obvious changes in their expressions.

"This girl is really good at business!" One of them clapped his hands and praised, "Who would have thought that you could make money with this?"

"Yes!" The other woman nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, "I've collected your radish slices. Then try some of our homemade cakes."

As he said this, he handed Lin Xiaoxue some delicious pastries.

Lin Xiaoxue was in a good mood when she took the things and did not refuse.

"Thank you."

This means that when you go out, you have more friends and more paths to take.

After saying goodbye to them, I was not in a hurry to go home.

She went straight to the store and bought some daily necessities for her family.

There is clam oil that smells delicious, and there is facial oil that moisturizes the skin.

I also specially selected a bag of fragrant and high-quality tea for my father-in-law.

after an hour.

She jumped off the bumpy tractor and walked briskly towards the door.

From a distance, I saw Lu's mother standing at the door looking in, her eyes full of expectation and concern.

"Mom!" Lin Xiaoxue shouted, waving the empty glass jar in her hand.

Mother Lu hurried forward and snatched the glass jar from her hand. After examining it carefully, she asked in surprise, "Are they all sold out?"

Lin Xiaoxue nodded and said nothing more: "Mom, let's go inside and talk."

The two walked into the yard side by side.

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law was busy cooking lunch at the stove, while the second sister-in-law was sweeping the dust in the yard with a broom.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxue coming back, everyone gathered around.

Su Guifen stared at the empty glass jar, "Are they all sold out?"

The surprise was beyond words.

Lin Xiaoxue smiled without saying a word. Amid everyone's curious and expectant gazes, she took out a heavy cloth bag from her shoulder bag.

Coins and paper money mixed in, creating an alluring symphony.

Even Shi Zhenli, who always loved to find fault, couldn't help but come over to count the money with shining eyes.

After counting, everyone looked at each other.

There are more than six pieces!

Such an income is really good for small farmers like them.

"Five dollars..." Shi Zhenli calculated quickly, "After deducting the cost, there are still five dollars left."

She had attended junior high school and was considered well-educated in the village.

"Oh my god! I earned five dollars this time..." She thought quickly, "If I work harder every month and earn more...it will be more than what my husband earns in the factory!"

With everyone's stunned expressions, Lin Xiaoxue slowly took out a few items: fragrant clam oil, moisturizing facial oil, and selected high-quality tea leaves...

"Mom, I bought these for my family. All together they cost about five dollars." Lin Xiaoxue explained with a smile.

Suddenly the whole audience fell silent.

This, this is almost ten dollars earned!

"Ten dollars?" Sister-in-law Su Guifen couldn't help but repeat it, her voice full of disbelief, "It's only been a short time!"

Mother Lu also showed an expression of surprise and joy, "Xiaoxue, you are really the lucky star of our family!"

Although Shi Zhenli still felt a little sour in her heart, when she received the facial oil, she had to admit that it did have a pleasant fragrance.

"I want to go with you next time." She said with a hint of envy and calculation, "Please teach me how to pickle radish."

After hearing what she said, Mother Lu laughed: "You are so clumsy? You can turn the kitchen into a battlefield when cooking. Just stay at home."

He turned to Lin Xiaoxue and said, "Come on, Xiaoxue, tell me what you think."

Lin Xiaoxue had already figured out the future development direction in her mind: "Mom, since this business can be done and it can make money, we should naturally continue to do it.

The pickling time of white radish slices is short, the operation is simple, and it is suitable for large-scale pickling.

After we have saved up some money, we will collect white radishes in the village, which are plentiful and cheap... and we can make a pretty good profit." A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, thinking that this was just an appetizer, and she could try salted duck eggs and canned fish in the future.

"Okay, since you have such an idea, I'll listen to you." Mother Lu agreed.

The afternoon sun is warm and bright, casting dappled shadows across the yard.

Father Lu and his eldest son Lu Jingshu came back from the fields just in time for lunch.

Seeing such a cheerful atmosphere at home, they couldn't help but relax.

"You may not know yet, but Xiaoxue earned ten dollars today!" Mother Lu told them happily.

Although the two men looked happy, they still couldn't believe it.

After lunch, while having tea, Father Lu drank the freshly brewed tea.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This, this daughter-in-law is so capable."

He sipped his tea happily.

But Lu's mother suddenly said earnestly, "You can be happy, but you can't tell anyone about making money. What if someone gets jealous? Don't cause trouble for Xiaoxue."

Father Lu took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, he's not a child, who would be stupid enough to tell others about it."

Mother Lu glanced at the other two daughters-in-law and repeated her instructions.

Shi Zhenli responded impatiently, thinking to herself, it seems that this family will soon have to change their surname to Lin.
