I just want to make money

Chapter 29 Snail Girl
"How did you come?"

"Doudou told me that Brother Lin is back. I came here because I had nothing to do during the day on the evening shift. I didn't expect you to have a fever. Brother Lin, have you taken your medicine?" Zuo Xiaoqing asked concerned.

"Take two cold medicines."

Lin Yi pointed to the medicine bottle beside the bed.

Zuo Xiaoqing picked it up and looked at it.
"Ah, this medicine is almost a year out of date!"

Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment,
I was very speechless.

He dug out the cold medicine in the drawer, took two pills after seeing the name, never thought that the medicine was expired.

"Brother Lin, wait for me, I'll go to the hospital and get you some medicine." Zuo Xiaoqing walked out quickly.

Ten minutes later, Zuo Xiaoqing came back in a hurry, "I took cold medicine and anti-fever medicine, and after taking it for a while, sweating will reduce the fever."

Zuo Xiaoqing poured a glass of water from the thermos, and handed the medicine to Lin Yi. Lin Yi took the medicine and stuffed it into his mouth, and Zuo Xiaoqing immediately handed over the water glass.

Lin Yi drank the water, Zuo Xiaoqing took the cup and put it away, then took out a quilt to cover Lin Yi, tucking in the corners of the quilt.

"Cover well and sweat."

Lin Yi looked at the girl.

to be frank,
Except for his own mother, he has never been served by a woman like this.

Feeling a little embarrassed by Lin Yi, Zuo Xiaoqing stroked his hair, "What's wrong, Brother Lin?"

"It's nothing, by the way, I bought you an English tape, it's in your bag, take it out and listen to it." Lin Yi said.

There is nothing left or right,

Zuo Xiaoqing found the tape.

Lin Yi taught her how to use the tape recorder again.

The standard English pronunciation came out from the tape recorder. Zuo Xiaoqing paused for a while and then frowned slightly: "Brother Lin, many people don't understand."

Lin Yi knows that the pronunciation of the tape is too standard. Many people are used to Chinglish, but they are not used to the standard pronunciation. Not to mention Zuo Xiaoqing, Lin Yi couldn't understand it at the beginning of school. If it wasn't for the listening test, who would Learn standard pronunciation, Chinglish is king.

It's none of his business whether foreigners understand or not.

"It's okay, if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."

Zuo Xiaoqing turned off the tape recorder instead, "I won't study today, Brother Lin has a cold and don't talk much, we'll talk about it when he recovers."

look up at the time,

05:30 in the afternoon.

"Brother Lin probably hasn't eaten dinner yet, how about I cook you dinner?" Zuo Xiaoqing said.

"It's not appropriate, let you cook with a girl."

Zuo Xiaoqing was surprised by Lin Yi's words. "Cooking is a girl's job, what's wrong with it?"

Ok,

Women of this age,

They really feel that cooking and raising children are their business.

Gentlemen should go out and wander.

"The kitchen has rice and flour. There are not many dishes. There are only Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and white radishes. The meat includes bacon and sausages. There are raw eggs and pickled eggs in the cupboard. You can use what you can do." Lin Yi said.

"That's not much food." Zuo Xiaoqing said.

"How about I get up and help you?" Lin Yi said to get up.

Zuo Xiaoqing quickly suppressed him, "Don't get up, you're sweating after taking the medicine, and seeing the wind is getting worse, I guess you've finished sweating too, just get up to eat."

Without waiting for Lin Yi to speak again,

Go on and put down the rucksack, and go out to work in the kitchen in the yard.

Lin Yi glanced out the window and saw Zuo Xiaoqing busy outside, and suddenly felt a sense of living.

Steamed rice, fried Chinese cabbage, stewed bacon with potatoes and radishes, a plate of scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, and two boiled salted eggs.

This is Zuo Xiaoqing's confirmed recipe.

Coat sleeves rolled up.

The firewood was filled into the stove, and the cauldron was fired.

After a while, the cooking smoke rose.

At the end of the day's business on Hanzheng Street, Jiang Wu and Li Xiangqian took stock of each other and came to Lin Yi's house with today's turnover to pay the bill.

As long as Lin Yi is at home, they will pay the account every day. The main reason is that the amount is too large. Now, if it is less, it can sell for a few thousand a day, and if it is more, it may sell for tens of thousands. You must know that this is the 80s, and the ten thousand yuan households are amazing. Existence, so much money must be handed over to Brother Yi to be insured.

The two of them saw smoke coming from the chimney of Lin Yi's house from a distance.

"Brother Yi is cooking, I don't know what to eat today?" Jiang Wu said with a smile.

The two guys are used to eating at Lin Yi's side. As long as Lin Yi eats at home almost every day, another reason is that Lin Yi is willing to eat.

go home to eat,
The normal situation now is that a family of six or seven eats around one or two dishes, and they are all vegetarian dishes, and even a bit of meat is rare.

It is impossible for ordinary people to afford meat every day.

Lin Yi is different. Why do you earn so much money? Isn’t it just for a better life? He eats differently every day.

Besides,

The little money for eating may be distressed by others, but it is nothing to him who earns tens of thousands a day.

The two entered the hospital.

Glancing into the kitchen,
Suddenly his eyes widened.

No, it's obvious from the back that a girl is cooking.

Jiang Wu took a closer look.

what,
Isn't this Zuo Xiaoqing?
Zuo Xiaoqing is cooking for Brother Yi, what's the matter.

The two of them didn't bother Zuo Xiaoqing, who was busy cooking, and quietly entered the room, and saw Lin Yi lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt.

"Brother Yi, what are you doing?" Li Xiangqian asked in surprise.

Jiang Wu flashed a lot of scenes in his mind, Brother Yi called the girl to the house, coaxed and coaxed him to go to bed, and when he was done, he slept under the quilt to rest and let the girl cook for him.

"I have a cold, I have a fever and my whole body hurts. Xiaoqing bought me medicine to make me sweat." Lin Yi didn't care too much when he saw the two brothers coming in.

"Does it matter?" Jiang Wu asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter, you don't know you have a cold, and you came here aggressively, and you will be fine in a day or two." Lin Yi said.

"Brother Yi, here is today's payment and account book." Li Xiangqian put the bag in his hand next to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, "I'm looking back, Xiaoqing is cooking, you stay and eat together, Jiang Wu, tell Xiaoqing to cook two more dishes, enough for the four of us."

Jiang Wu smiled.

"I think it's better to forget Brother Yi. Your snail girl cooks for you. If we come here, it will become a light bulb. Go forward."

"Yes, leave us alone and have dinner with the snail girl." Li Xiangqian also said with a smile.

The two guys said their goodbyes and left.

When they left the yard, Zuo Xiaoqing was still busy in the kitchen and didn't notice that two people came and went.

The meal is served.

After Zuo Xiaoqing washed his hands, he rubbed them vigorously for a while, and then put his hands on Lin Yi's forehead, "Well, it's much better, the fever has basically subsided."

"Can I come out, it's all soaked inside, it's uncomfortable?" Lin Yi said.

Zuo Xiaoqing smiled, "It's like covering sweat, but I can't take a bath yet. I'm weak now. I'll go take a bath when I get better."

Lin Yi got out of the bed, and after the fever subsided, he immediately felt like a normal person. When he first came to the cold, he really felt very serious, with stuffy nose, runny nose, headache, dizziness, and even fatigue and soreness after the fever. It seems that the world is about to collapse, but as long as it is pushed through, nothing will happen.

Zuo Xiaoqing poured a basin of water for Lin Yi and mixed it with the hot water in the thermos. The water temperature was just right, and Lin Yi felt comfortable after washing his face.

Changing into autumn clothes and gowns again, the two sat down to eat.

"Brother Lin, I don't know what your taste is like, so I'll follow what I'm familiar with. You didn't put spicy food when you caught a cold." Zuo Xiaoqing said.

Lin Yi picked up a chopstick and put the fried cabbage into his mouth.

Ok,
The taste is not bad.

"Brother Lin, stewed radishes can invigorate Qi, and it is good for treating colds," he said, handing Lin Yi a small bowl of stewed bacon with potatoes and radishes.

Ok,
This tastes even better.

The two of them ate and said nothing. Lin Yi looked at the girl, and he really had the feeling that the snail girl felt towards Xie Lang.

After eating, Zuo Xiaoqing packed up, looked at the time and said, "Brother Lin, I'm on the night shift at night, so I'll leave first, and you'll take some cold medicine after eight o'clock, and go to bed early, I think you'll be fine tomorrow. "

You are so careful.

Maybe it was because of Lin Yi's good physical fitness, or maybe it was because Tianluo girl took good care of him. Lin Yi felt better the next day.

Go around Hanzheng Street,
The store's business was still booming, and there was an endless stream of customers buying goods. Lin Yi asked Li Xiangqian, and there were only three or four thousand copies of the calendar left.

"What's going on at the printing factory?" Lin Yi asked.

"It's probably coming soon, why don't I call the post office and ask?" Li Xiangqian said.

"Okay, you go."

Lin Yi lamented that it is really inconvenient to make a phone call in this era. Only post offices and work units have phones, and they are manually transferred. The installation of private phones will not be until the late 80s, and the initial installation fee is very high. It costs 3000 to 6000. You know, In the late 80s, the per capita monthly salary was less than 100 yuan.

Two hours later, Li Xiangqian came back with a happy face: "Brother Yi, I got in touch with Brother Yiyi. He said he wanted to contact us just now, so we called him. The second batch of calendars has been printed, let us pick them up. "

"Okay, let's go to Yueyang tomorrow morning." Lin Yi said.
