Traveling through the 80s and marrying a rough man

Chapter 99
"Thanks buddy, I'll write it down first, and I'll pay you after the wages are paid. I ordered a pig at the buffalo, and I'll buy a pig later. I must go on the wedding day! By the way, do you want sugar melons?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Dongsheng said such a sentence, and Zhao Dahai said, "Tanggua?"

"That's right, it's the candied melon, candy. I can make candied melon, do you accept it?"

Zhao Dahai does all kinds of business, and he never refuses anyone, as long as he can get it, the warehouse here is like a grocery store.

There is a big bag of toffee, there is no reason not to eat Tanggua.

It's just that big things like bicycles and radios can't be obtained at all, otherwise Liu Dongsheng would have bought bicycles from him directly.

"Yes! You actually know how to make sugar melons. Why didn't you make them before and sell them here?"

"I just learned it too, my wife taught me!" Liu Dongsheng didn't think that saying this would damage his image, and even went to class for his wife's sake, so what's the point.

Zhao Dahai thought to himself, Liu Dongsheng's daughter-in-law sounds like a capable person, but he hasn't even met her in person, and doesn't comment much, so the topic returns to business.

"If you want, most of the people who buy candy are for the children in the family. They sell a lot but the price is not high. What's more, yours are still sugar melons, so you can't sell them for the price of toffee. But when it comes to Chinese New Year, you can buy peanuts and melon seeds. There are a lot of candies, and you should be able to make more money by then. How do you plan to sell them?"

Liu Dongsheng had never done business, so he only knew the approximate price of fruit candies in the supply and marketing cooperative, but there were no Tangguas there.

"How do you plan to accept it?" He believed that Zhao Dahai would not lie to him if he wanted a long-term and stable cooperation in the future.

"What I pay attention to in business is sincerity. To tell you the truth, the price of clothes and cotton cloth can almost double when you recite it, but sugar is definitely not good. Like this milk candy, I was lucky to get some this time. I may not be able to receive it next time. A bag can only earn one yuan at most, and the sugar melon is even less.

The size of the sugar is definitely not easy to control, so let's weigh it by the catty, and it costs one yuan and eighty cents per catty, what do you think? "

"Two yuan. If it is less than this amount, there is no need to talk about it."

Liu Dongsheng considered the cost of making sugar. It is both wheat and glutinous rice. How much malt can be produced from a catty of wheat!Although the price of wheat and glutinous rice is not high, only a dime or even a few cents a catty, what about the time and manpower it takes?
The reason why I asked Zhao Dahai is that he has been in this business for a long time, and he already has many loyal customers. Their family farms during the day, raises chickens, and pigs at home. There is one less person to do it.

If Zhao Dahai doesn't agree to this price, he will think of other ways. He has experienced how profitable the small businesses in front of the movie theater are. Four candied melons are very easy to sell for one yuan and four yuan.

Compared to selling things in a sneaky way, Zhao Dahai has also been thinking about setting up a stall recently.

A brother is a brother, a business is a business, and one yuan and eight are his tentative price, and he originally had two yuan in his heart.

He thought for a while, and agreed with a look of embarrassment, "Success, who told you to be my brother! Bring it to me when it's ready. It's easy to melt sugar in hot weather. Don't put it in the sun when it's ready!"

Money for cotton and cloth was still owed on credit.

In order to get these things back, Liu Dongsheng borrowed a rope and tied three sacks of cotton to the back seat, two bags on the bottom and another bag on top, and tied them tightly with the rope.

Cotton is bulky and easy to swell. Although Zhao Dahai pressed it tightly, it could still be squeezed. After the rope was tightened, it sank and got stuck, and basically couldn't fall down on the road.

Cloth and clothes together are not light, the main reason is that there is too much cloth to hang on the handlebars. Zhao Dahai wanted him to come again next time, but Liu Dongsheng picked up a piece of black cloth and unfolded it into a furoshiki. Put everything down and wrap it up, and skillfully put it on the back and fasten it on the chest, and it's done!

Those who didn't know thought they were moving.

"Let's go, the hemp rope will be returned to you tomorrow!"

Liu Dongsheng brought a lot of things into the village and successfully attracted the attention of the villagers, but no one dared to ask.

"Father, mother, big brother Liu Lu, come out and help move things!"

"What are they, why are there so many things?"

Several people easily moved into the yard, took apart the burden clasp and the mouth of a sack, and a large ball of snow-white cotton popped out from the sack.

"I entrusted a friend to buy cotton and cotton cloth. Mom, you have worked so hard these past few days to help Xiaoyun make the quilt. If you don't do it, it will be too late!"

Liu Dongsheng had said this before, Miao Cuihua was touching the snow-white cotton, it was so white, so white and soft.

"Success, why did you buy so many, how much?"

Liu Dongsheng didn't say anything, and if more than 200 people said it, they would definitely call him a prodigal son.

"Anyway, I bought everything, and I will pay back with my wages later. Mom, move into the house first, do you see that these cotton and cloth are enough to make two mattresses and four quilts?"

The house that Liu Mang had lived in was now unoccupied, so he cleaned the kang and poured cotton on it.

The cotton was pressed so hard that it couldn't be poured out at all, so I had to pick it out with my hands and make a bed.

"Enough, what are you doing?"

"Where are there too many? Isn't it just right to have two thin beds and two thick ones? If there are any leftovers, you can make a padded jacket, cotton trousers and cotton shoes for Xiaoyun. "

Miao Cuihua is still addicted to the soft feel of cotton and cannot extricate herself.

"Understood, your mother, I have raised you for more than 20 years, and I have never seen you bring so many things home for me!"

"Why not, mother, I have collected firewood and also made grass! It's not that mother has father's pain, but my daughter-in-law has no one to love, so I can only do pain."

Miao Cuixiang just said casually, when it came to the dinner table, it didn't matter whether the last bite of meat would go to Xu Xiaoyun or Liu Dongsheng.

"Come on, it looks like you've cut a lot of grass, but in reality you only have one handful. No one can fool anyone like you."

In terms of work, she has long since stopped counting on her youngest son.

Seeing so much fluffy cotton, Liu Lu's first thought was that Zhou Shan had told her that her family was poor, and that their family's quilts had been covered for nearly 20 years, and they were no longer warm.

He wanted Miao Cuixiang to make a pair of gloves for the Zhou family if he had leftover cotton. Thinking of how Zhou Shan was protecting his sister, he started to sulk again, threw away the cotton and left without brazenly opening his mouth.

"Mom, what's wrong with her?" Liu Dongsheng asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. It's been like that since I came back from calling Zhou's house in the morning. I must have suffered a lot. Don't worry about her!"

In fact, Miao Cuixiang also felt distressed, but she turned around and left the pit of the Zhou family if she didn't suffer.

Xu Xiaoyun didn't know that she had to make a quilt as a dowry when she received the red dress for her wedding the next day.

"How dare I let my aunt do my dowry?"

But there is no bedding in the space, and it is even more impossible for the Xu family to give her a dowry. They can't pick all the vegetables from the field as a dowry, even if it can be exchanged for real money.

Miao Cuixiang stopped working in the fields these days and concentrated on making quilts.

For the bought Brie, the white ones are used as the inside of the quilt, and the colored ones are used as the surface of the quilt.

The cotton that has been plucked is all scattered, and there is no machine to make them into a flat quilt shape. It depends on the feel of the hand to accumulate pieces of cotton, and try to make them as thick as possible.

"There's nothing wrong with that, won't you call me your mother when you get married?"

With a simple sentence, Xu Xiaoyun almost cried, like the duckweed finally had a home, and he felt a sense of security in his heart.
