Rebirth 1986

Chapter 35 The lingering ghost
After deciding to ask someone to help, Su Chengwen went to the town to recruit people early the next morning. The salary was three yuan a day, and he took care of one meal at noon.

As soon as this word was released, many people wanted to come. The wages they paid in Anqing were lower than other hard jobs, but the advantage was that they were not dirty or tired, and they even took care of lunch. side thoughts.

They are all from the same town. The rice cracker candy is so easy to sell. Many people have seen it. Many people are envious. Usually Anqing and his wife make candy in the house through wooden boards or with the door closed. Even if they want to inquire about something, they can't find out. Now that they are looking for helpers, many people are thinking carefully. If they sneak in and learn this craft, they will worry about not getting money in the future.

So it was originally said that only two people would be recruited, but in the afternoon more than 20 people came, including men, women and children. An Qing picked a man and a woman pleasing to the eye, and the others all returned.

These two people are from the town. The woman is in her thirties, she is plump and looks quite honest. Her name is Geng Chunmei. In addition to housework and farm work, she does odd jobs to supplement the family income. The man's name is Chen. Dabao, with a cut-length cut that is rarely seen in this meeting, is only in his twenties, and he looks very energetic with clean clothes.

An Qing's first impression of these two people was not bad, but as for what's going on, you'll have to get in touch with them later to know.

"My name is An Qing, and he is my husband Su Chengwen. You should all know how we are treated here, right?"

The two nodded in agreement.

"That's good. You will come to work from tomorrow. The time is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. The wages are calculated by the day, and you will have a meal at noon. Is there any problem?"

"No problem. The lady boss, what are we doing here?" Chen Dabao asked curiously.

"I'll make arrangements for you when you come tomorrow." An Qing said casually, "You can go back today and come on time tomorrow."

After the two answered, An Qing let them go home, and they came early the next morning.

Anqing asked Geng Chunmei to wash and steam rice, and watched the stove fry rice crackers and peanuts with sand and stones. As for the step of making syrup, she came in person. Anqing moved the place for making syrup from the outside to the kitchen of the house. , Wait until the syrup is boiled before letting Chen Dabao go into the house and take out the pot together, pour it into the big pot outside, add rice crackers and peanuts, stir evenly, pour it into the mold frame, grind it thinly, cut it into thin slices and pack it.

With the help of the two of them, An Qing and Su Chengwen immediately relaxed, watching more and more wooden boxes filled with rice cracker candies in the house, just waiting for the arrival of August [-]th.

However, at the penultimate show on August [-]th, the person An Qing least wanted to see was ushered in front of the door.

The business of selling sugar on this day is as good as ever, and because it is approaching August [-]th, there are more people buying sugar. The people in Anqing are busy filling sugar for people at the stall, when Su Xiajiao came from outside the crowd the sound of.

"Third Brother!"

Su Chengwen didn't hear the voice because there were too many people, but An Qing listened attentively, and when he looked up, he saw Su Xiajiao and Niu Qiaoyun standing outside the crowd, with Su Sanchun and Ding Lan standing beside them.

An Qing raised her eyebrows, why are they here?

Seeing An Qing looking over, Su Xiajiao glared at her, then ran to Su Chengwen's side at a trot and gave him a hand.

"Third brother, you can't hear me when I call you?"

Su Chengwen was pulled violently, and the rice flower candy in his hand almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly put it on the board and set it up. Then he frowned and looked at Su Xiajiao, "What are you doing so frizzy? Why are you here?"

"Third brother, what are you talking about, can I come and see you?" Su Xiajiao was dissatisfied with Su Chengwen's words, and then continued: "It's not just me, mother and sister-in-law are here, by the way, And big sister."

It was only then that Su Chengwen noticed the three people outside the crowd, and they frowned together, but still called Geng Chunmei to come over to help Anqing sell sugar, and he walked out by himself, "Mom, big sister, why are you here?"

Niu Qiaoyun kept a sullen face and said nothing, but Ding Lan spoke first, "It's nothing, isn't it going to the market today? It will be August [-]th soon. Let's go out to buy some things for the holiday, and then I know you are here, so I will drop by to have a look."

While talking, Ding Lan glanced at the front stall surrounded by crowds, her eyes flashed a little, and she said with a smile: "San, your business at this stall is really good. I heard that the rice cracker candy you sell, But even the people in our village know about it, so they must have made a lot of money."

"As much as you can earn, it's enough to eat enough." Su Chengwen replied casually, and said to Niu Qiaoyun and Su Sanchun: "Mom, big sister, we are busy at the stall, otherwise you can sit in the house, Anqing and I will talk to you after this busy period."

Ding Lan was about to say yes, but Su Sanchun rushed ahead of her and said, "You should go and do your work, don't let Anqing get tired by himself, we just came to see if there is nothing else, just right I haven't finished shopping yet, we will come back when you are not busy in the afternoon."

After speaking, Su Sanchun dragged Niu Qiaoyun and Su Xiajiao to leave quickly. Su Chengwen was busy at the moment, if they went, he would have to spend time greeting them, and she knew the character of these people in her family. Deal with it, if something happens at the stall, it will be troublesome.

Niu Qiaoyun was still complaining about Su Chengwen and An Qing's going away before, so Su Sanchun said that she wanted to leave her, turned around and left without saying a word, Su Xiajiao pouts her mouth full of displeasure, but thinking of the one she fell in love with before. I haven't bought anything yet, so I followed suit.

Only Ding Lan smiled and said: "Sister, you can go with Mom and Xia Jiao, you see the third child is so busy, I will leave him to help."

"What can you do? You don't even know how to weigh scales, so don't make trouble here. You have to make up your mind if you haven't bought all the things for the holidays in the house. Let's go."

Su Sanchun dislikes Ding Lan the most. Even with her usually friendly personality, she can't help being tough every time she faces Ding Lan. Pulled her away.

After Su Chengwen saw a few people leaving, he kept a straight face and didn't say anything. After a while, he went back and continued to sell things.

This time, the market business was much better than before, and the endless stream of shoppers never stopped. Anqing and the others didn't even attend to lunch, and they were busy until after three o'clock in the afternoon, and the number of people gradually decreased. They are also hungry with their chests sticking to their backs.

An Qing was going to buy some things and come back to make a good meal and reward everyone. Before she went out, she saw Niu Qiaoyun and the others coming again. There was no choice but to give Geng Chunmei ten yuan to buy some meat and vegetables. return.
