80s development history

Chapter 7 Make Money

"Why are you so troublesome? You don't know how much your pots are worth, and you still do business like others." Tong Zhenghao shook his head, looking down on Xin Andong, turned around, and saw Zhao Chongming next to him, Immediately, his eyes lit up, "Uncle Zhao, you came just in time. I bought the screws in this kid's basin, together with his basin, how much do you want?"

The disgusted Xin Andong was also wronged. He knew how much a modern washbasin cost, but how did he know how much the 80s washbasin cost.

Buy fried screws?

Zhao Chongming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he counted the pot and screws, "It's about five yuan."

Tong Zhenghao was about to take money out of his pocket——

At this time, the silly father who had been obediently collecting money suddenly picked up the washbasin on the ground, so anxious that the veins on his forehead popped out, pouted and kept shaking his head, "I don't sell it, I don't sell the washbasin!"

The others had already left one after another, only the two in front of me were left, Xin Andong was a little confused by the sudden surprise of his silly father, "Dad, what's the matter?"

The silly father pursed his mouth, his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry, he hugged the washbasin tightly in his arms, "Son! Don't sell the washbasin, Da Zhuang bought it for Fangfang, you can't sell it!"

After the silly father came to Xin's house, his grandfather named him Xin Dazhuang. The Fangfang he said should be his mother Xin Wenfang. Could it be that the only decent washbasin in the family was actually a "love gift" bought by the father for the mother?

That doesn't seem like a sell.

He turned his head and said apologetically to Tong Zhenghao, "I'm sorry, my father disagrees, we can't sell this washbasin, why don't you find something else that can hold screws."

Tong Zhenghao was dissatisfied, "How can you do business like this!" He was very angry, but he couldn't say not to buy screws.

Zhao Chongming patted him on the shoulder, "Zhenghao wait a minute, there seems to be an aluminum lunch box in the car, I'll get it."

"Then Uncle Zhao, hurry up!" He was still waiting to eat the screw, the taste was so delicious, Tong Zhenghao licked his lips.

Zhao Chongming went back to the car to get the aluminum lunch box, and Tong Zhenghao was about to drool when he was hooked by the fried screw. Although his grandfather had a strict family education, he lived abroad since he was a child.

Xin Andong's eyes widened, and he said hastily, "Don't bite, the screw meat inside will be sucked out!"

Tong Zhenghao's face burned red, he spat out the screw in embarrassment, and said impatiently, "It's so troublesome!"

Shaking his head, Xin Andong had no choice but to demonstrate to him, "Hey, suck like me, then bite the screw meat, remember to bite off the tail and don't eat it, that's it, that's all."

Tong Zhenghao's eyes lit up, and he started to take it immediately. At first, he couldn't suck it out, and his forehead was sweating. Under the guidance of Xin Andong, he gradually started to use it. Once he started, he couldn't stop soon, sucking one after another.Xin Andong knew that he was rich, so it would be impossible for him to renege on his debts, so he let him suck.

The silly father, on the other hand, had a bad impression of Tong Zhenghao who robbed his washbasin. Seeing that he sucked the screws and didn't give him money, he was so angry that he stared at him for a moment.

Zhao Chongming returned to the car to get the aluminum lunch box. Jiang Xuanzong pinched his brows and raised his head from the document, "What's going on?" It took at least 10 minutes for the two of them to get out of the car.

"Oh, there is a kid in front who is selling fried screws, and Zhenghao is clamoring to buy it. Isn't this something unfilled? I'll get an aluminum lunch box in the car," Zhao Chongming said with a smile to Jiang Xuanzong while rummaging, " Secretary, the fried screwdriver from the kid's house smells really good, Zheng Hao bought it home, now the old man has something to eat."

"There is dust on the side of the road, things are not clean." Jiang Xuanzong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Chongming smiled, "Just for fun, I saw that there was a white gauze next to the child, which looked like it was covering the washbasin, and the big and small ones were dressed in shabby clothes, but their fingernails were clean. It's hygienic."

Jiang Xuanzong said nothing more.

Zhao Chongming took the aluminum lunch box back to the stall, at this time Tong Zhenghao had already eaten a small handful of screws, his lips were covered with greasy marinade, he was holding a screw in his hand, sticking out his tongue hotly and couldn't help it suck.

He didn't know that this young master was so careless sometimes.

"Uncle Zhao! You're finally here! If you don't come again, I'll decide to eat up all the screws and go home. You don't know, but it's delicious. His screws are better than the braised pork that my grandfather brought me last time." Hoofs are even more delicious, much better than foreign hamburger steaks!" Tong Zhenghao's face was full of greasy food.

Zhao Chongming twitched the corner of his mouth, stretched out the aluminum lunch box in front of Xin Andong, and asked, "Scoop all in, how much?"

"It's not much, let me give you 3 cents." Xin Andong poured the last soup into the aluminum lunch bowl.

Zhao Chongming handed the thirty cents to Xin Andong, and then dragged Tong Zhenghao, who was eating while walking, back to the car.

Clean up the basin here, cover it with white gauze again, Xin Andong stomped his slightly numb calf, and greeted the silly father, "Sell them all, the first battle is won, let's go, Dad, let's go home!"

Finally, I can go home. My silly father has no idea about earning money. When he heard that he was going home, he happily hugged Xin Andong with one arm and held the washbasin in the other, "Go home!"

Back in the car, Tong Zhenghao wiped off the oil stains on his hands, and told Zhao Chongming, "Uncle Zhao, you have put the rice bowl in place, and don't spill the screws."

Zhao Chongming started the car and said with a smile, "No, don't worry."

Only then did Tong Zhenghao feel relieved, he lay back contentedly, and the football he played all the way was stuffed under his feet with disgust, all he wanted now was to go home and eat screws.

Jiang Xuanzong sat beside him. Tong Zhenghao ate a lot of screws just now, and some smell spread to him. It was spicy and very tempting. Jiang Xuanzong's nose moved.

As soon as he got home, Tong Zhenghao didn't have time to pack his luggage, so he hurriedly put the rice bowl on the dining table and shouted upstairs, "Grandpa, grandpa, come down quickly! I brought you delicious food, you must not I’ve eaten it! It’s even more delicious than braised trotters, especially delicious!”

He kept talking about several delicious foods, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

Grandpa Tong was lured downstairs by his grandson's cannon-like yelling. The grandson he hadn't seen for a long time returned home. The old man was about to touch his little head to show his intimacy, when he opened his mouth and was stuffed with a delicious and spicy screw!

"Zhenghao!" Jiang Xuanzong, who was coming to see this scene, frowned, and gave a warning glance to the mischievous Tong Zhenghao.

Mr. Tong gave a 'hmm', took the screw out of his mouth, looked at it and smiled, "Where did Xuanzong buy the screw today?" As he said, the old man sucked out the screw meat casually, "Um , this smells delicious, has your canteen master changed?"

The old man of the Tong family lives with his grandson and granddaughter, and none of the three can cook. Usually, Jiang Xuanzong or Tong Xiaoyu buy food from the canteen of the unit and take it home to eat with the old man. The third man has a salary in his hand. I would also go to state-run restaurants to buy two extravagant dishes. It's not like Mr. Luo has never eaten it before, but this is the first time I have tasted such a delicious taste.

"Grandpa! This is something I bought for you to eat!" Tong Zhenghao was dissatisfied with being robbed of credit by his cousin.

Jiang Xuanzong took off his coat, rolled up his army green sleeves, and said, "It wasn't made by the master chef in the cafeteria, but Zhenghao bought it on the way."

"As soon as Zhenghao came home, he knew to bring food for grandpa. Grandpa was happy, and grandpa also made you a delicious dish, which is the braised hoof pork that you have been thinking about! Oh, it seems a bit cold, wait, grandpa is going to warm it up Just a moment," Mr. Tong was about to walk to the kitchen with the braised hoof with a layer of fat solidified on the plate, when Jiang Xuanzong snatched him first. He smiled cheerfully, looked at his grandson and then looked at his grandson, and said with a regretful smile. , "It was supposed to be a family reunion, but Xiaoyu was busy with a case in the bureau today. He just called and said he couldn't come back to eat. As long as we are the third, that's fine, Xuanzong, take out the Moutai I treasured in the top cabinet in the kitchen A bottle, how can there be no wine with screw, today I will accompany the two of you to have a good drink."

There is nothing to say about the taste of stir-fried screws. Ye San ate the screws in the aluminum lunch box for almost an hour. Even Jiang Xuanzong, who was the most rigorous and restrained, tasted a few more. The last one was eaten by Tong Zhenghao. When he was about to throw it into his mouth with quick eyes and hands, a pity flashed in his deep eyes.

……

When Xin Andong returned home, he sat on his parents' wooden bed with a white mosquito net hanging over them and counted the money. One cent was two cents, one dime was two dimes, and many half-worn paper notes were counted by him.

After counting, Xin Andong was stunned, holding the bills in his hand and the coins spread out on the straw mat, oh my god, there are three yuan and sixty-five cents!

The screw is picked for nothing, and the seasoning is more expensive than the oil, and it costs less than 2 cents when added together with other salt, ginger, acid, and pepper.

Holding the wrinkled banknotes, he felt that he needed to plan carefully. He could earn three yuan and sixty-five cents for a pot of screws, which was sold out in less than an hour, and there were even more The people in the queue didn't buy it. If he could get some more, even if he didn't sell well today, he would definitely earn five yuan a day.

Moreover, not only can he sell stir-fried screws, but he can also make spicy crayfish. Thinking of the fresh, spicy and spicy taste of the red crayfish, it makes people want to roll up their sleeves and work hard for three days and three nights. Xin Andong's saliva almost drools. Secreted out.

By the way, I don't know if the silly dad's crayfish has been found.

After returning from the county town, he and his father split into two groups, one went home to settle the accounts and the other went to the stream in the back mountain to fish for shrimps. It was originally just an excuse for grandma to go out, but he did not expect to find a way to make money for him.

He carefully put away the money, put it together with the two yuan he asked for from Xin's mother, and put it in his pocket to make sure that it would not be missed, then he opened the door and went out.

As soon as he left the yard, he almost bumped into the sad-faced grandma. He held his forehead, "Grandma, what's the matter?"

The grandma hugged her grandson, rubbed his forehead, her eyes were complicated for a moment, and then she sighed and said, "It's your aunt, she suddenly couldn't speak, as if she was dumb, just now your grandpa and I couldn't bear to see She, I didn't expect her to go crazy and throw things at me and your father. It's okay if she is sick, but a good person suddenly becomes silent. After seeing it, Mrs. Qi from the west of the village said she was in a nightmare , I’ll come home to find some incense paper for your aunt to burn.”

Xin Andong frowned, and said, "Grandma, doesn't your aunt's house have incense paper? Although the four old things are no longer removed, if you go to your aunt's house with the incense paper and other people in the village see you, they should make irresponsible remarks. Just ask my aunt to find some incense paper and burn it secretly, so don't get meddled."

When he said this, Grandma Xin's face showed a look of panic, and she took back the front foot that was about to enter the door, looked at her grandson, and finally said, "Then I will tell Jinhua's wife that there is no one at home," she raised her foot in a hurry Turning around in a hurry to leave, he suddenly stopped and asked anxiously, "Where's your father?"

For the old lady who always thought that her handsome son-in-law would be kidnapped, Xin Andong was really helpless, and replied, "My dad is catching shrimps at the other side of the stream, and we are going to get more. If you have been to your aunt's house, come back earlier." You know, call my grandfather back, my aunt's house must be in a mess now, my grandfather is old, and his hands and feet are not good, how dangerous it is to be knocked and touched, besides, my mother will get home later, and I should be anxious if I don't see you .”

"Yes, yes, that dead old man, I told him not to join in the fun, but he refused, I will drag him home!" Grandma Xin said angrily, and immediately ran out of the house.

Ge Jinhua was only acupointed on the dumb acupoint, and with his unrepentant skills, he could last until tomorrow morning at most, and he could talk as soon as he woke up, but it just made her a little frightened, Xin Andong felt that he was quite merciful.
