Chapter 70 Du Xiaojing's Dowry
Fresh wild fungus is collected for [-] cents and [-] cents, and Xu Jichang is ready to pay [-] cents.Even taking into account some of the water evaporated during drying, there is still double the profit.

Three hairs of Hericium erinaceus are harvested, and nine hairs are harvested.Also taking into account the dried moisture, he still makes more than twice as much profit.

The price increase for these two is relatively small, and the profits of other mountain products are higher.

And the fish that were caught were no business at all. Xu Jichang only spent two corn cobs to catch a lot of them, and they were all rare fish.

"Whoa..."

Xu Jichang unfolded his luggage, took out a bulging sack from it, and dumped it on the ground, all the valuable fish such as jelly salmon were dumped in the yard.

These fish were all brought with him when he packed his luggage this morning. They had been kept in a large water tank before, and after they were brought here and there, they kept writhing on the ground. It was really gratifying to watch.

Shunzi looked at the fish on the ground, his face full of disbelief: "Zhe...Zhe Luo salmon?"

"Brother Chang, where did you get it?"

Zheluo salmon is one of the most precious aquatic products. Even though Shunzi often caught fish and shrimps before, he only heard the name of this fish and never saw its shape.

Xu Jichang was very surprised and envious to see so many Zheluo salmon in this breath today.

"It was caught from the river, maybe it was picked from a tree."

Xu Jichang patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Hurry up and put the bamboo rack on the rack and raise the fish."

"Okay, here you go."

After finishing speaking, Shunzi ran to the courtyard wall, picked up the bamboo rack and put it under the water tap in the courtyard.

The bamboo slide is a water channel made by splitting bamboo in the middle. Xu Jichang wanted to buy a plastic water pipe to connect water to the faucet, but was told by the state-owned store that it was out of stock.

Xu Jichang estimated that because many industries in the country have just started, the supply of some types of industrial products is still very tight, so he made a bamboo slip by himself as a substitute.

As for the faucet, it was rebuilt and installed by the factory management office before the house was divided.

Not long after Shunzi set up the bamboo slipper, Xu Jichang came out from the house with several large buckets.

He put the big bucket on the ground, filled it with bamboo slips, and put all the fish in it to raise.

After arranging the fish, Xu Jichang and Shunzi put all the mountain goods into the house to prevent rain.

"Go, go out to eat."

After finishing all the work, Xu Jichang said to Shunzi.

He ate two steamed buns this morning, and he is really hungry after working so hard.

"Let's eat at your house and save money."

Sunja said.

"That can't be done. You've had a hard journey, so what if we don't go out to a restaurant."

Xu Jiuchang shook his head and said, leading Xu Jichang out of the yard.

When they locked the courtyard door and walked along the road to the street, the street was already lively.

Shunzi looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the occasional bicycle passing by, feeling very fresh and happy.

Heixiazi is too far away from the county town, it is not easy for him to go to the city, every time he comes here, he is as happy as a holiday.

While Shunzi was looking around, Xu Jichang had already chosen a place to eat: "Come on, I'll take you to that mutton restaurant."

"There's really no need to take us to such an expensive place."

"Why are you being so polite?"

Xu Jichang didn't allow Shunzi to refuse, and led him quickly to the mutton restaurant. After entering the restaurant's gate, he came to the counter and began to order from the menu posted behind the counter.

Lamb scorpion hot pot, grilled lamb chops, plus a bowl of lamb noodles per person.

"You also order a few dishes."

After Xu Jichang ordered, he said to Shunzi.

"It's costly. Brother Chang really cost you this time. I won't order it."

Shunja looked at the prices behind each dish and said anxiously.

"Hey, what are you talking about, just order it."

"Then I... order a ground three delicacies."

"Order another meat dish, you're welcome."

"Then I'll... order another stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Well, add eggplant with minced meat."

Xu Jichang said to the waiter behind the counter, he readily took out three yuan and sixty cents and handed it to the waiter.

After receiving the money, the waiter took a pen and scribbled down the name of the dish on the carbon paper, tore off the purple side on the top, and handed the bottom piece of paper to Xu Jichang.

At present, state-run restaurants are always like this, you pay first to get the ticket, and then serve the food later.

If you want to ask why, it's not caused by some people who eat the overlord's meal.Food is not abundant, and people can do anything when they are hungry.

After ordering, the two came inside and sat down, and started eating immediately after the noodles and several big dishes were served.

The steaming lamb scorpion, with a piece of meat from the top, is really fragrant and tender in the mouth.

The grilled lamb chops are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, grilled until golden and crispy under the lamb skin. It is delicious lamb. After Xu Jichang tasted it, there was a feeling of aftertaste lingering in his throat.

The two Northeast specialties, three delicacies from the ground and stewed chicken with mushrooms, are also very authentic.Among them, the eggplants, potatoes and green peppers of the ground three delicacies are freshly picked, and they have never been stored for a long time. The chicken is the standard June chicken, and the taste is tender and not as old as the old hen.

State-run restaurants in this year have no rent pressure, so you can eat such delicious dishes in street restaurants.

This is also true for future generations. For example, in the capital city, the restaurants in Beijing are always the ones with the best food. If you want to eat out, you must go there.

After eating a few big dishes, Xu Jichang put some side dishes of the lamb scorpion hot pot into it, cooked them for a while, and fished them out.

Cabbage, radish, and lettuce are all very fresh and refreshing.

Both of them were growing their bodies, and when they had the most appetite, not to mention having done work in the morning, the whole table was swept away by them in a short while.

Think of ideas to earn money, and then eat and drink, this is what life should be like.

In the store, the waiters had already had breakfast, and they felt hungry when they saw them eating like this.

Among them, Shunzi was sweating profusely after eating: "Brother Chang, this is the best meal I've ever eaten since I was a child... hiccup."

"Follow me, and I will be able to eat such good food every day."

Xu Jichang smiled, got up and left the hotel with Shunzi, and walked to his unit.

"You go back to my house first, and take a good look at the goods. I will take people back to look at the goods after I finish the deal here."

"Okay Brother Chang."

After coming to a secluded alley, Xu Jichang stopped, explained to Shunzi, handed him the key and turned to go to work.

On the way, when he passed the cadre training school, he saw Du Xiaojing at the door.

The double grab is over, the training school will resume classes tonight, and Du Xiaojing is back to continue his studies.

It is estimated that Director Gao wants to recruit her into the factory after the training school is over, but Du Xiaojing doesn't seem to know about it yet.

As for the reason why Director Gao didn't tell her about the recruitment in advance, it must be because she was afraid that she would be uneasy when she learned about it, which would affect her study in the training class.

Xu Jichang concluded in his heart.

"Jichang, let's meet again."

After seeing Xu Jichang, Du Xiaojing took the initiative to come over and greeted him generously.

"Yeah, classes will resume soon."

Xu Jichang replied.

"It's great, we can be at the same table again."

Du Xiaojing smiled lightly, then took out a silver bracelet from his pocket, and handed it to Xu Jichang,
"Thank you for supporting me that day. It would be really difficult for me these days without you."

"Now please accept this bracelet as my repayment to you."

Xu Jichang glanced at the silver bracelet and found that the year of manufacture was engraved on it.

It was a bracelet made three years ago, with Du Xiaojing's name engraved on it. The style is antique, and it can be seen that it has been carefully maintained.

"This bracelet should be very important to you. If that's the case, you can take it back and return it to me later when you have more money."

Xu Jichang shook his head and said.

"You guessed it, it does have special meaning to me..."

Du Xiaojing lowered his head slowly when Xu Jichang said this, "However, I promised to pay you back as soon as possible, and I can't break my promise."

After speaking, she stuffed the bracelet into Xu Jichang's hand.

Xu Ji saw that Du Xiaojing was so determined, so he accepted it: "I'll take it first. When you have money, you can exchange it back."

"No, since I returned it to you, there is no reason to take it back."

Du Xiaojing looked into Xu Jichang's eyes and said.

The origin of this bracelet is indeed very special, related to a tradition in Du Xiaojing's mother's family.

Whenever the daughter of their family reaches the age of Ji, no matter whether she has said she is married or not, she will ask the silversmith to make a bracelet, engrave the girl's name on it, and bring it to the man as a dowry when she gets married later.

After her mother married into the Du family, she brought the traditions of her natal family over and gave Du Xiaojing a silver bracelet when she was 15 years old.

Later, when Du Xiaojing said goodbye to his mother before going to the countryside, her mother was worried whether she would see her again in this life, so she put the bracelet on her hand with tears in her eyes.

Du Xiaojing was in tears at the time, and after he went to the countryside, he regarded this bracelet as the most precious treasure and wiped it frequently.

She thought for a long time at the beginning before she made up her mind to hand over this bracelet to Xu Jichang as a thank you gift.
