Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua did what she said. She knew how to weave baskets, so she cut some rattan from the mountain and started weaving.

After the braiding was completed, she bought some magenta and cyan to dye it. Although the color is a bit ugly after thirty years, it is still very beautiful at this time.

After making it, she first put some sweet potato vermicelli in it, and then some bean curd sticks. She made bean curd sticks while making tofu, and the production volume was not high, so she put them in as a sample. If the sales volume was high, she could make more later.

In addition to bean curd sticks, we also add rice noodle sheets, which are also made from sweet potato flour. Then we can dry them in the sun.

There were twenty eggs and a dozen persimmons in it. Soft persimmons could not be put in there, as they would break easily, so hard persimmons were put in there, as well as some dates, peanuts and mountain red.

Getting a total of eight items is also a good omen.

Seeing that she had put some fruit there, Zhou Pandi had a headache. "If they want a large quantity, do we have that many persimmons?"

"Don't we have some in our village? We can exchange them!" Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "We can lead the whole village to prosperity, they will be so happy."

Although her idea was good, she could not sell the product herself, so she had to use the name of Lijiatun to get things done.

So Zhang Xiuhua went to the captain's house carrying a basket full of food.

Seeing such a rich feast, the captain thought she was here to give him a gift and kept declining, "No, that won't do. What you want to do is too big, I can't afford it."

Seeing how frightened he was, Zhang Xiuhua hurriedly said, "I'm not looking for you to do anything. I want to generate income for our production team. How about this basket?"

When the team leader heard that it was a way to generate income, he was immediately relieved. He actually picked up the basket and looked at it. The workmanship was a bit rough, but then he looked at the things inside and found that they were all available in the village.

"What I mean is to find someone to sell these fruit baskets. Some large factories provide welfare benefits for their employees during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Our team has so many fruits that they will go bad if we can't finish them. Why don't we exchange them for some money? What do you think?" Zhang Xiuhua stated her purpose.

The team leader nodded repeatedly, "Okay! We can give it a try. If we can't sell it, we can keep it for ourselves. After all, the food is already in the production team."

He looked at these things and was worried, "How do I set the price?"

Zhang Xiuhua has listed the prices. Vermicelli is 50 cents per serving, and there are only two pieces of bean curd, which is 30 cents. The others are priced at the supply and marketing cooperative price plus 20%. The price is definitely higher than selling them individually because you don't need food coupons. Oh, and the price of the basket must also be added.

All eight items together, this basket would cost at least five dollars.

When the team leader heard that it would cost five yuan, his eyebrows almost knotted, "How can the factory afford this much money?"

"Of course not every factory employee can get a share. You have to be a senior employee." Zhang Xiuhua reminded him, "If all factory employees order it, we won't be able to handle it. There are so many baskets. And time is tight."

The captain thought about it and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say. Who should we find to promote it? Should we find Li Jianxin?"

"Li Jianxin and his wife are both fine, as are Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying. But if you ask them to sell your product, you must give them some benefits. You can't let them work in vain." Zhang Xiuhua found that this team leader was capable, but not very good at winning people over.

Maybe it has something to do with his upbringing. He is too stingy.

The team leader felt a little pain, but finally agreed to sell a gift box for a pound of soybeans. The reason why he didn't give money was because he had no money to give. The team still owed famine.

But the captain looked at her flower basket and said, "Who made this? It's too crude, isn't it? Gifts must be good. Wait, I'll make you a few good ones, and you can start selling them well."

The team leader is a good worker. At this time, in addition to being well-educated, the team leader must also be able to work, otherwise the team members will not obey.

The basket that Zhang Xiuhua wove was not big, and the team leader only took half an hour to make one.

In fact, it is not just the team leader. There are many old men in the village who can weave baskets, and their skills are all excellent. The baskets woven by Song Lianhua are more delicate and compact.

The two of us were like competing, you braid one and I braid one. Soon we had braided four or five. I asked her to take it home and dye it.

How could Zhang Xiuhua carry so much by herself? So Song Lianhua lent a hand and returned the empty basket to her.

After dyeing the baskets and filling them with food, several salesmen took leave and rode Red Soldier's donkey to sell their goods.

Li Jianxin handed the two children over to their biological mother to take care of, which made Miao Xiaohua roll her eyes.

It would be strange for her to be happy if she couldn't go to work because she had to take care of her grandchildren. But when she saw the two identical grandchildren, she smiled and was very happy.

When Youcai learned that Zhang Xiuhua was going to pick all the fruits at home to sell for money, he hurried home and shouted, "Aunt Zhang? Why are you doing this? We rely on this sweet fruit all year round."

The three fruit trees at home were taken care of by several children. In order to prevent other children from stealing the fruits, they usually stayed at home instead of going to other families to play.

This year, the best fruit was the jackfruit, but the mountain amaranth fruit was not so good. Only a few gala fruits were harvested, and all were picked. They didn't even eat a single one.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I usually miss your snacks?!"

Youcai chuckled, "But the fruits you grow yourself are different."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't argue with him. "It's okay. I'm just making an example. The remaining fruits must be shared from other families. If the fruits sell well this year, other families will definitely plant them next year. Then you won't have to keep watching."

It suddenly dawned on you.

Zhang Xiuhua urged them to wash quickly because their clothes were too dirty.

When the children had their farm holidays, they would have fun looking for beans, or go into the mountains to look for wild fruits. They were very busy every day.

Zhuzhu can walk now and always follows her older brothers and sisters.

After sending all the children to wash up, Youcai came over and asked, "Aunt Zhang, can you sell wild fruits?"

"You don't want to eat anymore?" Zhang Xiuhua teased him.

"No! It's Ergou. His father doesn't want to pay for his tuition and wants him to drop out of school. He refuses, but he has no money. Didn't he pick wild fruits with us? I just want to ask."

The tuition fees at that time were extremely expensive. Ergou's father didn't want his son to go to school, and others couldn't accuse him of being partial. After all, his later children didn't go to school either.

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it and said, "Okay, let's put them in together. You should have picked a lot of mountain sorrel, right? We can sell them together."

When Youcai heard that it was okay, he immediately ran out to find Ergou.

Soon Ergou came back with a bag of wild fruits. He found quite a lot. There were many wild fruits that Zhang Xiuhua couldn't even name.

But there was one thing she knew: there were wild blueberries here. That was rare.

Zhang Xiuhua found the wild red berries and blueberries, and let him keep the other wild fruits for himself. Then she paid Ergou. It wasn't much, only 30 cents. But it was the first time Ergou received so much money, and his eyes widened.

"By the way, Ergou, if you dig up this blueberry tree for me tomorrow, I will give you two pieces. Remember not to cut the roots!" Zhang Xiuhua reminded him again and again.

Youcai looked at the blueberry fruit, a little surprised, "This fruit can only be found in the deep mountains, Ergou, did you run too far?"

"It's okay!" Ergou scratched his head, "There are more wild fruits in the deep mountains."

He accepted the task and went home first.

Youcai looked at his back, then turned to look at Zhang Xiuhua, "Aunt Zhang, it's great that you're my stepmother."

After saying that, he ran back to the house with a red face.
