Chapter 76

"Xiaoyun! I'm back! I'm starving to death! If you touch it, my stomach is full!"

Liu Dongsheng saw that there was no one in the room, so he guessed that she was here, and squatted next to her, holding his rice bowl, and started eating.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of rice, the tip of the tongue was stimulated instead, and I couldn't stop, and ate half a bowl in a row.

Xu Xiaoyun originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing him like this, he swallowed it back.

"I don't touch it. Eat slowly, and no one will snatch it from you."

"hungry!"

Taking time to answer a word, he continued to eat.

It wasn't until they finished eating that Liu Dongsheng sighed and told her that they could directly serve food to the state-run restaurant.

"Daughter-in-law, is your partner serious? You don't need to set up a stall in the future."

The quantity of dishes required by the state-run restaurant is not too much, but there are many types. Adding up, Xu Xiaoyun can earn about two or three yuan a day, which is more than a stall, and it is stable, and he does not need to be exposed to the wind and sun by himself.

"From now on, you will have at least 60 yuan a month, which is more than my salary!"

I don't know, I was taken aback.

Liu Dongsheng was shocked, how profitable is selling vegetables?

Then what kind of temporary job is he still doing?

In the first few days before Xu Xiaoyun set up the stall, because they were all leafy vegetables, they were afraid of being crushed, so their daily income was [-]-[-] cents, [-]-[-] cents, followed by cucumbers and beans. Around one yuan and five, it can be sold out basically every day.

Xu Xiaoyun herself didn't think the money was much, but Miao Cuixiang praised her every day at home.

At first, she kept it a secret, but later she set up stalls frequently, and it was inevitable that she would meet people in the village, so the villagers also knew that she had set up a stall to sell vegetables.

"If I quit, I'd better sell vegetables to you!"

"Don't! How tiring it is to sell vegetables, and how leisurely it is to be a chef!"

Chefs in state-run restaurants are really free, and there are more than 20 guests at the meal time, because it is not a big deal at this time, and most ordinary people don't go to restaurants.

However, no matter how dilapidated or small the county town is, there are still a few young people with spare money in their pockets, especially those at home who hold iron rice bowls.

I can't afford to eat out every day, so it's okay to go once a week.

However, if any leaders hold a meeting to treat guests, they must go to a state-run restaurant, and it is time to test the chef.

It was only 1980, even though the wave of reform and opening up had already been set off, it would take a while before the wave hit their county town and small restaurants opened on the street.

And even if small stalls are set up and fly restaurants are opened, it will take some time for the county to have a big restaurant that can threaten the state-run restaurants.

"Just work hard inside, and learn more about cooking with Wei Lao in your spare time."

"Still learning? I've learned almost everything. I don't think he knows as much as you do!"

How can this be compared?

A random search on the Internet in later generations shows that there are all kinds of dishes in the eight major cuisines, and some people have restored palace dishes.

"You said you know everything, then let me ask you, can you cook foreigners' dishes? Don't talk about foreigners, just talk about our own, can you know the Manchu Banquet, can you know all kinds of dim sum? There are so many in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Planting biscuits and snacks is very expensive, and you need money and tickets, if only you can make it yourself, the freshly baked ones must be delicious."

Xu Xiaoyun licked his lips.

Liu Dongsheng was speechless, because he really couldn't.

Well, in order for my daughter-in-law to eat the freshly baked dim sum, so what if I sincerely worship old man Wei as a master, it's not like I never called him a master.

To calm down the loud and ambitious, Liu Dongsheng grabbed her hand.

"Daughter-in-law, I know that you said that for me! You know that I can't bask in the sun, and you would rather let me work in a state-run hotel even if the salary is low. I will remember all your kindness to me!"

Xu Xiaoyun: "..."

She really just wants a warm snack!

"By the way, can you still save a bicycle at the scrap yard? Since I can sell vegetables to state-run restaurants, I can also try places like school canteens and factory canteens.

A cafeteria earns two yuan a day, and a few more may earn six or eight yuan. I want to earn more money and save it for later use. "

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiaoyun lowered his head, feeling that getting another bicycle might be ostentatious and difficult.

Liu Dongsheng thought she was looking at her stomach, and suddenly realized!
They are going to get married next month. After the marriage is over, will the child be far behind?

"You don't need to say it, I understand, I understand! It's just that you are too tired. I will try my best to find a way to use the bicycle. Let's discuss the delivery of food later. There are so many people in the family. At worst, let my elder brother or Liu Lu deliver it. !"

No, he knew everything, Xu Xiaoyun himself didn't know anything.

Let's talk about the small business of the two of them, there is no way for others to be coolies.

But there is no sign of bicycles, and other units haven't talked about it yet. It's useless to say these things. First, make a list of state-owned restaurants and make the first shot, so you can't ruin your reputation.

The weather is hot, and early picking is easy to lose water.

After reading the demand list of various vegetables brought back by Liu Dongsheng, Xu Xiaoyun decided to get up early tomorrow to pick vegetables.

After wolfing down his dinner, Liu Dongsheng went to wash the dishes. He choked from eating too fast, and insisted on asking Xu Xiaoyun to accompany him for a walk in the village.

The two walked along the embankment.

It was pitch black on the embankment, only blurred tree shadows could be seen, and vague voices of adults and children's laughter could be heard, but they could not be found anywhere.

The farther you go, the farther you are from the village, and you can hardly see a few lights when you look back.

Honghe Village is connected to electricity, but the cost of electricity is so high that most people are reluctant to light it. They either use kerosene lamps or candles to do their homework and needlework, or they do it during the day and go to bed early after dark.

"Daughter-in-law, do you still remember the one thing you owed me when you lost the eel?"

"Remember, what do you want me to do?"

She always remembered it, but she didn't know what tricks he was going to play again, so she asked cautiously.

"I didn't want you to do anything, I always love my wife!"

Xu Xiaoyun didn't believe this at all, if it was nothing, he wouldn't speak to her in this tone, just like a child who wants money to buy candy but hesitates to speak.

"Really? Then I'll pretend that you don't want this bet."

"I want, I want! My mother sewed a pair of new socks for my father yesterday, daughter-in-law, can you sew a pair for me too?"

The country people spend their days in the dirt and mud. In fact, many people don't wear socks at all in summer.

But Liu Laogao likes to wear them, because when wearing socks, as long as you wash them more frequently, the inside of the shoes will get dirty a little slower, and it is easier for Miao Cuixiang to clean them.

Liu Dongsheng's wearing socks is purely fussy, he doesn't go to the ground anyway.

Now I have to go to work every day, and I have to pay more attention to it.

Of course, Liu Dongsheng has no shortage of socks to wear, he just wants to wear socks sewn by Xu Xiaoyun himself, which are different from those made by Miao Cuixiang!
As soon as he thinks that there is someone who is willing to mend him and warm his bed in the future, he will be motivated to do anything.

Well, it's better for him to warm his daughter-in-law's bed in winter, so as not to freeze her.
