Chapter 14

The buns prepared for breakfast were sent away.

Zhao Nianhui took Ye Xiaoyue directly to the street to buy two bowls of rice.

A bowl of noodles is 20 cents, and adding meat is 10 cents more.

Although it was just a simple bowl of vegetarian noodles, it was sprinkled with chopped green onions, coriander and some minced meat.

But it is very suitable for the two people who have been busy for the whole morning.

During the meal, Ye Xiaoyue talked about her vision for the future.

“Xiaohui, I really admire you. You earn so much just by talking. You earn more than 3,000 a month. How much do you earn in a year?”

Zhao Nianhui heard this and shook her head. “First, there won’t always be enough in the river. Second, people will get tired of it and business won’t be good every day. Third, this is not a long-term development path.”

Things sold out so quickly and so cleanly today.

That’s the right time and place.

It is summer now, the weather is hot, and it is also the busy farming season.

Every household wants to eat something cold and icy.

Those who buy today may not necessarily become repeat customers.

Maybe they just want to try something new.

No matter how delicious this thing is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day.

The recipe for cold river fish salad is not difficult, so it is normal that people imitate it.

The fish is cooked with a secret sauce. Maybe some experts can tell what the sauce is just by tasting it.

But these are concerns for the future.

From the current perspective, I earned almost 150 yuan a day, which is really enviable.

For some farmers in the countryside, it is a year’s income.

Zhao Nianhui told Ye Xiaoyue not to tell these words to outsiders.

Ye Xiaoyue nodded, not quite understanding, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If you don’t want to tell me, then I won’t tell you.”

“This is for you.”

Zhao Nianhui kept the 100 yuan and kept 48.7 yuan for spending outside.

He took out 10 yuan from it as Ye Xiaoyue’s salary.

Ye Xiaoyue stammered, “This, this is for me?”

It’s not that I’ve ever seen so much money, I’m just surprised that I can still get a salary.

“Of course, I can’t let you work in vain.” Zhao Nianhui nodded readily.

In her opinion, favors are favors and should not be given less.

Ye Xiaoyue’s family is wealthy, but she has been living in the countryside for such a long time.

The money I had on me has probably been spent already.

Otherwise, he would not have directly refused the money.

Sure enough, Ye Xiaoyue pushed twice.

Seeing that Zhao Nianhui really wanted to give her money, she no longer refused.

He took out a few bills, put the rest of the money away, and packed it carefully like Zhao Nianhui did.

“I also make money.”

He waved the 2 yuan in his hand proudly, indicating that he would ask her to join him for such good things in the future.

The supply and marketing cooperative on the street was right behind the stall where they were selling goods.

After dinner, the two went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative has a complete range of products.

Clothes, food, daily necessities, and all kinds of dazzling groceries.

The salesperson glanced up and down at the two people who came in and asked them to pick out their items and go to the front desk to pay.

First I bought seasonings like oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, a big iron pot, two large clay pots, and some other miscellaneous things, and the total cost was 5 yuan.

The reason why it’s expensive is the spices, but if you want the food to taste good, you can’t afford to give up these things.

It’s not a good idea to keep borrowing from the commune. If they are willing to lend you money once or twice, it’s only because you are in the same commune. They may not lend you more.

Since you are planning to take the opportunity to make some money, you have to spend some money.

Ye Xiaoyue bought some soap, toothpaste, tea, biscuits and some food and toys.

She controlled the 2 yuan just right, not a penny was left.

When checking out, Ye Xiaoyue set her eyes on the candies at the door.

There are colorful candies in clear glass bottles.

She wanted to buy a pound to try.

“This candy is 10 cents for 2 pieces.” The salesperson replied considerately.

Ye Xiaoyue instantly gave up the idea of ​​buying candy.

It’s better not to spend money on things that you can eat or not.

She had never worried about not having enough money before.

But it really costs the money I earned after working hard all morning.

I still feel really reluctant to give it away.

Zhao Nianhui shook her head and handed the money in her hand to the woman.

The salesperson had two pigtails and wore a long gown with floral patterns.

He was also holding a translated foreign romance novel in his hand.

Looks like a romantic person.

“Hey, I’ve read this book. Do you like this kind of storybooks?”

The other person looked like he was difficult to talk to.

Zhao Nianhui couldn’t help but want to make friends with others.

What she told was the plot of a classic movie, which was exactly what she wanted to hear.

A woman and a cruise ship.

Of course, some changes have been made to the plot.

Even so, the salespeople gradually became fascinated by the story.

Even Ye Xiaoyue, who was just listening curiously, was immersed in it.

“Comrade, I want to ask, where can I buy this silver needle?”

Only after she finished telling the story did she truly reveal her purpose.

I just looked around the supply and marketing cooperative, but didn’t see what she wanted.

Although I know silver needles are hard to find, I still can’t help feeling a little disappointed.

If you ask directly, the other party may not answer.

You can just say “I don’t know” and get away with it.

This is not the result Zhao Nianhui wanted.

The salesperson was just immersed in the sad ending, and his face had a bit of depression.

Out of friendship for the story I just told, I kindly replied, “What you are talking about is very rare. I have never seen it in this small town. I guess you can only see it in a big place like the provincial capital.”

Perhaps it was because the disappointment on Zhao Nianhui’s face was too obvious.

The salesperson added, “Or you can go to the health center and ask. I heard that the doctors there used to run a Chinese medicine shop at home. They might have this stuff.”

When they were about to leave, the salesperson stopped them.

A conflicted look appeared on her face, but she finally said quietly, “Hey, do you two have a companion going back? It’s dangerous for two little girls to walk on the mountain road. It’s better to go with a companion.”

“Okay, thank you very much, comrade.” Zhao Nianhui thanked sincerely.

There were some things she could have left unsaid, but she said them anyway.

Regardless of whether that incident will happen or not, it is a reminder for them.

Ye Xiaoyue beside him still had an innocent and carefree expression on her face.

Obviously he didn’t understand the salesperson’s hidden meaning.

It was around three o’clock in the afternoon.

The two of them went to meet in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.

When they arrived, Uncle Li was already waiting there.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the two little girls come back.

“How dare you two little girls run around everywhere!” Uncle Li first criticized them harshly.

“If you two don’t come back, I’ll have to go to the police station to report the crime. Things haven’t been peaceful in this town lately.”

Pointing at the pile of extra things on the ground, he looked puzzled and asked, “Did you two buy all this today?”

Zhao Nianhui and Ye Xiaoyue looked at each other and nodded in acknowledgement.

“Oh, are you planning to start a new business? It must have cost a lot of money. The commune has these things.” Uncle Li was so distressed that he couldn’t express his feelings clearly.

This is a kind reminder, and it also expresses my sympathy for the money the two people have spent.

In the end, Ye Xiaoyue couldn’t stand the nagging anymore and said frankly that they had cooperated to start a small business.

Only then did Uncle Li stop chattering and load the things one by one onto the donkey cart.
