I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

Taking advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do today, Ji Xiaoxi planned to go to the county town alone.

See if there are any money-making opportunities there.

Shen Jiao used scraps of cloth to help her piece together a bag. The appearance of the bag was designed by her. It was a canvas bag that was convenient for carrying things.

After leaving Lu Qian'an in the care of Du Yumei, he prepared to go out with his bag.

Du Yumei reminded him a little worriedly, "Xiaoxi, go to the county town and then go home. Don't go too far."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Okay, I'll be back in the afternoon."

Lu Qian'an held her hand and looked at her pitifully, "Mom, can't you really take An'an with you?"

Ji Xiaoxi squatted down and hugged her son. "No, An An is playing with grandma at home. Mom will be back soon and bring you some delicious cakes."

Lu Qian pouted: "Okay, I will miss you."

Ji Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Son, I can't bear to go out when you are like this, please smile for me."

Lu Qian'an grinned, revealing a few small teeth.

Ji Xiaoxi: "Be good."

——Alas, my son is too clingy. It’s such a sweet trouble~

It was two hours later when we arrived at the county town.

System 001 reported the following gossip to her in her mind.

[After Zhou Qianqian returned, Zhou Guifang chased her and asked about the situation. After learning that Lu Jingchuan's wife, that is, you, was not dead, Zhou Guifang felt like the sky had fallen.]

[She deserves it. Who told her to go to the countryside with such a purpose?]

[Zhou Qianqian didn't know that Zhou Guifang had such an intention. She was not in love with Lu Jingchuan at the moment, but she had some feelings for this lifesaver and wanted to express her gratitude in person.]

[Then I can't let them meet casually, lest they develop feelings for each other. ]

As they were talking, Ji Xiaoxi arrived at the cinema in the county town.

There are a few small stalls at the door, selling small items such as melon seeds, peanuts, soda and snacks.

Everyone's equipment was very simple and their eyes were very alert. They would probably run away immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

If she were asked to sell peanuts like this, it probably wouldn't work as it would be too tiring.

It is now 78, and self-employed individuals were officially recognized in 81. However, in 79, when educated youth returned to the cities, the state allowed them to set up self-employed individuals and engage in individual economy in order to solve the employment problems of more than million educated youth.

Wait a few more months, and once word gets out, more people will surely be eager to try it out. However, due to the current information asymmetry, most people don’t dare to try it easily, for fear of being caught as speculators.

Her timing is just right now, and as long as she is careful, she can get ahead of most people.

Ji Xiaoxi walked to a vendor selling melon seeds and peanuts. The vendor enthusiastically took out a handful of melon seeds and asked, "Would you like to buy some?"

"Let me take a look at the peanuts." Ji Xiaoxi leaned over and took a peanut and smelled it. The peanuts were also fried, but they didn't have much smell. "How much do you sell these peanuts for?"

The other party quickly said, "These are freshly fried peanuts that I just harvested. They are 1 cents a bag. Would you like to buy some and try them?"

Ji Xiaoxi took a look at his bag, which was a triangular bag about the size of a palm, wrapped in newspaper. One pound of peanuts could probably hold 7-8 bags. If he calculated it this way, he could sell one pound of peanuts for 8 cents.

It is twice as much as a state-owned store.

This one doesn't require a ticket, and the amount you get at one time is not much. If you watch a movie, you won't be able to eat many peanuts, so this small bag is enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxi asked, "Where did you get these peanuts from?"

The vendor gave her a wary look and said, "Go away, don't ask if you're not going to buy anything."

Ji Xiaoxi didn't ask any more questions and just left.

She went to other places and found that places with a lot of people all used this kind of small packaging, but there were also some places that used small tea cups as measuring cups, and each cup cost five cents and was put directly into people's pockets.

Judging from the size, one pound should be able to hold more than 10 cups, because there is a piece of paper under the cup, which immediately reduces the capacity of the cup.

She had a plan in mind.

Finally, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. The prices of melon seeds and peanuts here were similar to those in the town, but the variety of items was much richer.

"--The free egg cakes are here." Someone suddenly shouted.

Ji Xiaoxi saw a group of people running in one direction.

Her body was faster than her brain and she ran after the crowd. She used her size to squeeze into the crowd and got to the front.

When I took a closer look, I found that they were a batch of egg cakes that didn't look very good, but only some of the edges and corners were worn off, and everything else was fine.

It’s cheaper if you don’t need a ticket, so why not take advantage of it?

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"8 cents a pound."

"Give me 5 jin!"

The price was not bad, and she had just promised her son to bring some snacks back home. This did not require a ticket, saving her the trouble of changing tickets everywhere.

Things that don’t require tickets are very popular, and the egg cakes on the counter were quickly snatched away by the crowd.

Ji Xiaoxi, who had grabbed 5 kilograms of egg cake, was as proud as a victorious rooster.

"Oh, what should I do now? I didn't buy any egg cakes, and my little grandson loves egg cakes the most."

"Is your eldest son back?"

"He's back. His younger brother is getting married, so he, as the eldest brother, must come back. I'm here to buy things. They've used up all the melon seeds, peanuts, and candies at home, so I have to buy some new ones."

"For a wedding, peanuts and melon seeds are indispensable. We also need to prepare some red dates and longans."

"Of course, there are a lot of things to buy."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxi immediately came over with a sweet smile on her face: "Auntie, do you want to buy egg cakes?"

The other person looked up and saw that it was a very beautiful girl. She looked even prettier when she smiled. She couldn't help but smile as well and said, "Yes, it was just a coincidence that I came too late and didn't get one."

Ji Xiaoxi held up the egg cake she had just bought and said, "Aunt, I got 5 kilograms, I can give you 2 kilograms, do you want it?"

Liu Sanxiu cried out, "Comrade, can you really give me two kilograms? You managed to snatch this with great difficulty."

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Of course, but I just heard you guys discussing buying peanuts and melon seeds. Can we chat outside?"

Liu Sanxiu nodded in understanding, "Okay, let's go outside and talk."

When they got outside, Ji Xiaoxi took out a handful of peanuts made by the system from her backpack and said, "Aunts, these are the peanuts I fried myself. You can try them."

Liu Sanxiu and his companion looked at each other, took the peanuts from Ji Xiaoxi, cracked them open and tasted them, then his eyes lit up, "Comrade, how come your peanuts are so fragrant and crispy? They are so delicious, even better than the ones I bought in state-owned stores."

Ji Xiaoxi boasted with a smile, "This is an ancestral craft, with hundreds of years of experience. Our ancestors were famous roasted nuts kings in the past, but now that it has been passed down to me, I can only sell it secretly as a snack."

Liu Sanxiu and his companions were surprised. "It's so expensive. How much is one pound? It can't be more expensive than the state-owned stores."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Peanuts in state-owned stores are 4 cents a pound, and they require a ticket. My peanuts are 4 cents a pound, and no ticket is required. I also have melon seeds, which are 5 cents a pound, and no ticket is required either."

Liu Sanxiu was delighted. She didn't need a ticket and the price was the same as in the state-owned stores. This was a good deal. She immediately asked, "Do you have any goods now? Let's buy some."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Aunt, my name is Ji Xiaoxi. If you trust me, tell me the address and I will deliver it to you in 10 minutes. How many kilograms do you want?

But I don’t come to the county town very often, so if you want to buy it, just buy more, so you don’t have to buy it when you want to eat it. ”
