Chapter 51 Chili
The six sons pointed to the room, "My master is here."

Uncle Liao came out of the room leaning on a cane, "Su Zhiqing is here, sit in the room."

Susie went into the room and sat down. Liu Zi and Ruier were still playing in the yard. They didn't see Aunt Lan. Susie said a few polite words, then she said embarrassedly: "Uncle Liao, I came to you this time to talk to you Find out if there is any way to make money outside."

"I'm not very good at doing farm work, and I can't earn much work points. It's hard to support myself if I go on like this."

"You shouldn't be short of money, right?" Uncle Liao was a little surprised. Although this girl said that her luck was about to be drained, she didn't look like she would be short of money.

Su Xi nodded, "There is no shortage of money now, but you can't just sit and eat, you have to earn money to be at ease."

Uncle Liao pondered for a moment, "The way to make money—"

"I don't know any way to make money. I just do some resale business now to earn some money to support my family."

He explained: "I can't do anything, my legs and feet are inconvenient, I can't earn work points, and if I don't do this, I will have no way to survive."

Su Qian whispered: "Then, Uncle Liao, see if you can take me with you."

Uncle Liao was even more surprised, "You want to do it too?"

He lowered his voice, "This is still a bit risky."

Susie nodded, "It's okay, I know there are risks."

Uncle Liao was in a bit of trouble, and after a while he whispered: "I'll tell you the truth, my six sons and I were just running outside, collecting some gold and silver jewelry from others, melting them ourselves, and then finding someone to sell them to. Make a profit."

Susie thought about it, supplies are in short supply in this era, if you want to get supplies, you have to have a way, if you don't have a way, you can only waste these things.

She asked inexplicably, "Why don't those people sell it themselves?"

Uncle Liao shook his head, "Where are you going to sell it?"

"It's not the old society now, there are no pawnshops anymore, only cultural relics stores accept some old things, and then you have to go to the county town, besides, you dare not sell such things openly."

"What we collect is sold to factories, and factories that make radios and TVs use gold."

Uncle Liao laughed at himself, "There are not many gold mines discovered in our country. There is a shortage of gold, and gold has to be imported. This can be regarded as my contribution to the production and construction of the country."

Su Xi was a little surprised. Uncle Liao had been running outside all year round, so he really had some knowledge. Many people don't know that there is such a thing as a TV in the world.

The Su family in the capital has a [-]-inch black and white TV. Thinking about how old Su Zhenguo is, he can only watch black and white TV.

Uncle Liao looked at her, "This is a small business, as long as you like it, I can take you to do it together."

Susie thought about it carefully, and turned around to earn some money, which can be regarded as an income. Compared with earning work points, it is obviously easier and more profitable.

Otherwise, life in Uncle Liao's family would not be so nourishing.

She nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's just a slack season for farming, and you can't earn a few work points. Next time you go out and bring me with you."

Uncle Liao thought for a while, "Then wait for a while, the team has distributed this year's rations, and let's set off again."

Susie asked, "What do I have to prepare?"

Uncle Liao smiled, "I don't need anything else, just prepare some capital."

Susie spent more than 200 yuan on furniture, and recently added a small amount of money to buy things. She still has more than 500 yuan in her hand. According to the price level, she thinks that these costs are almost enough.

After talking about things, Susie picked some food from the backyard and left.

Uncle Liao sat on the chair and thought about it. It was a little funny. He was waiting to make a fortune with the nobleman, but he didn't expect the nobleman to let him take him to make money first.

The sixth son came in and asked, "Master, what does she want from you?"

Liao Zhenyuan didn't hide it either, "She wants to make money by dumping things with us."

The six sons stared wide-eyed, "Master, didn't you say that she is your noble person? She's following us to make a fuss, what's the point of this——"

Liao Zhenyuan waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about it so much, anyway, your master, I have identified her."

"I will do whatever she asks me to do. I think I will be lucky next year. If I can get up to this point, it will be ten years of good luck."

At noon, Susie and the others were cooking in the stove when Qiao Mu came in through the back door carrying a basket.

He walked in and put the basket at Susie's feet, "Add some food for lunch."

Susie looked into the basket, there was a fish in it, it looked quite big, but it was fresh, and the mouth of the fish was still moving.

Tian Xiaohui clapped her hands happily, "Oh, fishing every day, after so many days, I finally caught it!"

Zhao Tingting was also very happy, "I'll do it. I'm good at making fish. In the past, there was a river in front of my grandma's house. We often went down the river to catch fish in summer."

Susie gave Qiao Mu a thumbs up, she stood up, "I'll go to Aunt Lan's house and get some ginger."

When she arrived at Aunt Lan's house, Susie went to the vegetable garden to dig a piece of ginger, then went to a corner of the vegetable garden to pick peppers.

The peppers on this pepper tree were almost dry, and Aunt Lan hadn't picked them all the time. Last time, she told Susie that this pepper seemed to have mutated, and it was so spicy that she didn't dare to eat it, so she just put it there.

Susie picked off all the peppers that were said to be hot to death, and went back with ginger and peppers.

Going back, Susie washed the chili, not to mention that the chili was really hot, but just touched it with her hand, and her hand was hot and painful.

She put the pepper in a bowl, took it to the stove, and whispered to Zhao Tingting for a while.

After hearing this, Zhao Tingting turned to look at her, her eyes were bright, and she said with a smile, "Okay."

When eating at noon, Su Qian seemed to ask Zhao Tingting casually, "Why is there only so much for such a big fish?"

Zhao Tingting said: "When I first filled it, I thought it was too much, so I saved a little for dinner."

While eating, Tian Xiaohui admired, "Tingting, your fish is so delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious fish."

She stuck out her tongue and breathed out, "It's just a little spicy."

Zhao Tingting smiled: "This is the recipe at my grandma's house. If it's not spicy, it won't taste good."

Susie answered, "Yes, the spicier it is, the more addictive it is."

Chen Changqing on the table next to him saw that he couldn't eat any more vegetables in front of him, so he turned his head and asked, "Qiao Mu, where did you get this fish?"

Qiao Mu held his rice bowl and said flatly, "It was made in Liuxian Lake in the back."

Chen Changqing got angry, and said to Zhang Weidong and the others: "After dinner, let's go to the lake to catch fish." Seeing people eating hot food and drinking spicy food every day, this day is really unbearable.

Both Zhang Weidong and Niu Jianguo agreed, and Chen Jun said in a low voice, "I don't feel well, so I won't go."

After eating, Susie washed the dishes, put the leftover fish in a lunch box, put the lunch box in the cupboard, and left.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Susie heard Zhang Weidong swearing outside the house, "Damn, I've been doing it for several hours, and I'm all wet, and I didn't catch half a fish."

Then there was the sound of "squeak" opening the door.

Then Niu Jianguo's surprised voice sounded, "Chen Jun, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Jun hugged himself into a ball and was rolling on the bed.
