Sister Jiang poured a cup of tea for Su Yue and then said : “Didn’t I buy your pastries last time so when my brother from my mother’s family came over as a guest. I served them those pastries, he praised them so much and said they were better than those sold in the city. Then he asked me where I bought them from so I mentioned you.”
At this point, Sister Jiang laughed, “My brother works in an auto parts factory in the city. He has a very active mind and loves to tinker with things. Yue Yue , he saw that the pastries you made were delicious, so he wanted to buy some from you and then go to the city to sell them to others. I just wanted to ask you if you would sell them to my brother.”
She was afraid Su Yue won’t do it so she added: “Actually, people in the city are more willing to spend money than here, and there are more rich people. The pastry sales will definitely be better than here. If your pastries can really be sold there, you will definitely not worry about making money.”
Of course Su Yue knows that the consumption level in the city is higher, but it’s too far to go there and she doesn’t have transportation, so she can only sell in this town. Now someone wants to help her sell pastries, so she wont reject it. Yes, but there are some things that need to be said.
”Sister Jiang, since it’s your brother, I am naturally willing to cooperate, but the premise is that both parties must keep secret. This matter cannot be made known to everyone. If it is said in a bad way, if something goes wrong, you can’t get me involved. Of course, if something goes wrong on my side, I won’t get you involved.”
Sister Jiang didn’t feel there was anything wrong with what Su Yue said at all, “That’s natural, let’s cooperate. There must be a charter of cooperation. Don’t worry about this. No one else will know about this except me and my mother’s family. Moreover, our family is very strict. Even if there is a problem, we won’t blame you. I bear personal responsibility and to keep it safe. Don’t worry, if you’re worried, let’s set up a written document and write it clearly in black and white.”
After hearing what Sister Jiang said, Su Yue said: “Then there is the second point, I am not responsible for delivery, I can only deliver the pastries. Here, your brother has to get the pastries by himself, but I can give you a lower price, so that you can make a profit. It’s like you wholesale from me, how about it?”
Sister Jiang thought for a while and said in a deep voice: “Then I’ll tell my brother and ask him , his thoughts.”
Su Yue: “Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll come over with the pastries to sell them in three days. If your brother is willing, we’ll sign a contract and make it clear.”
Sister Jiang nodded, “I’ll write a letter to tell my brother when I get off today.”
After talking about business, Su Yue showed the cakes she brought to Sister Jiang, “Sister Jiang I heard that some people in your compound wanted to buy pastries yesterday but didn’t buy them. I brought two more baskets today. Please help me find out who wants them.”
Sister Jiang looked at the basket and found several new foods , was very interested and asked: “Is this a new delicacy? I haven’t seen it before.”
Su Yue took one of the three new cakes made yesterday and gave it to her to try, “This is what I made yesterday. I made three things, this is donkey rolling, this is Dorayaki, and this is egg yolk cake. You try it to see if it tastes good.”
Sister Jiang was not polite, she started eating immediately and gave her a thumbs up while eating, “Sister Su Yue, I really don’t know what to say. I’m really convinced by you. Even the most delicious pastries sold in the provincial capital are not as good as yours. It’s half delicious, and you deserve to earn the money. No wonder my brother took a fancy to your pastries at a glance and wants to do business with you. Just with your craftsmanship, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.”
Su Yue was praised by her and laughed.
After finishing the cakes, Sister Jiang clapped her hands and stood up, “I’ll ask someone to buy the cakes for you.”
Su Yue quickly stopped her, “Sister Jiang, can you tell me if someone is willing to exchange for cloth tickets? , I’ll give it cheaper.”
Sister Jiang: “You want cloth tickets?”
Su Yue pointed to her clothes helplessly: “Sister Jiang, look at the clothes on my body, they are full of patches, and it looks really bad when I wear them and Come on, I am girl so I should dress up right ?”
Sister Jiang was amused by her words. Apparently Su Yue was exaggerating. Su Yue has a good figure, with a curvy front and back. Even wearing loose clothes, you can see her graceful figure. But the clothes on Su Yue are indeed very torn and ugly. A good girl wearing such clothes, even if she is good-looking, will not look good. Su Yue has good looks and uses her beauty forcefully and wants to Eliminate the negative impact of clothing.
Sister Jiang patted Su Yue’s arm, “If you want cloth, come to me. Have you forgotten what kind of family compound we are?”
Su Yue suddenly realized that she had really forgotten that this family compound is the home of a textile factory workers, and what is the most popular thing about a textile factory? Of course it has the most fabric.
She actually ignored such an important point.
Su Yue hurriedly asked: “Sister Jiang, do you have any cloth at home?”
Sister Jiang turned around and went to the room to take out a lot of cloth. “Our factory produces cloth. Most of the cloth produced is handed over to the task, and the rest a small part can be distributed to the workers below. My husband is also a small leader after all, so getting some cloth is not a problem.”
Su Yue was so happy, “Sister Jiang, can I buy it from you?”
Sister Jiang laid out each piece of cloth and said, “Of course, you can choose it yourself. I don’t want your cloth stamps, so just give it to me at the market price.”
“Sister Jiang, thank you very much.”
If there is a piece of cloth that does not require tickets in the market, it is guaranteed to be sold out as soon as it is taken out, this shows how precious this piece of cloth that does not require tickets is.
As expected, Sister Jiang works in a textile factory. The variety of fabrics at home is even more complete than that of the supply and marketing cooperative, including Daliang, fine cotton, coarse cloth, polyester cotton, khaki cloth, etc.
Su Yue bought some coarse cloth and planned to make a set of clothes specifically for work. The coarse cloth is durable and will not hurt if it is broken.
For the rest, she planned to buy muslin, which was comfortable to wear and looked good.
Seeing that Su Yue only bought cotton and coarse cloth, Sister Jiang picked up the Doliang cloth and asked her: “Sister, why don’t you buy some Doliang? This is a rare and good cloth. Even if it is sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, it has been snatched away by insiders. Many people want to buy it. ”
Su Yue smiled and waved her hands, “No, I work in the countryside, and it’s not appropriate to wear Deliang.” In fact, she didn’t like Deliang, and she didn’t feel comfortable wearing it at all, and she didn’t think it looked good at all. Cotton is good.
Sister Jiang thought about it, so she cut coarse cloth for her and cotton cloth. After they were cut, Su Yue paid her according to the market price, and said to her: “Sister Jiang, I still want cloth tickets.Can you ask people from your compound to come buy pastries. If they give cloth tickets or just give cloth , I’ll give them a penny discount for a pastry.”
”Okay, I understand.” Sister Jiang said and went to the courtyard to tell people about Su Yue selling pastries.
After a while, Sister Jiang came back, followed by a large group of people. These people came to buy pastries, and some of them were holding fabrics in their hands.
An eldest sister holding several feet of fine cotton cloth was the first to run up and talk to Su Yue: “Sister, I heard that you wanted cloth. I brought the cloth to you in exchange for some pastries. Get it for me quickly.”
“Okay , Sister.” Su Yue was so happy to see the cotton cloth in her hand. There is a shortage of cloth these days, especially for her. In addition to making clothes, she also wants to make a quilt cover to put the quilt inside, so that she doesn’t have to bother to take apart and wash the quilt frequently.
In addition, she had no pillowcase, and the only sheet she had was in terrible tatters. Cloth was needed everywhere anyway, and now that free cloth was delivered to her door, she was so happy that she wanted to sing a song.
Su Yue bought ten pieces of pastry to the eldest sister and took two feet of cloth. The people behind her also brought cloth, and some people brought cloth tickets, but these days cloth tickets are tight, very much. Many people choose to use money to buy cakes.
Within an hour, the two baskets of cakes that Su Yue brought were empty. Seeing that it was getting late, she declined Sister Jiang’s offer to let her eat and happily walked out of the textile factory compound with a basket full of cloth.
When she was going out, she saw a mule cart parked under a big tree not far away. Han Aiguo was sitting in the cart. He saw her coming out and hurriedly waved to her.
Su Yue ran towards him, “Have you sent the telegram?”
”Yes.” Han Aiguo said, taking out two big meat buns from his arms and giving them to her, “Eat quickly, you didn’t eat much in the morning, are you hungry?”
The big meat buns were still steaming, and Su Yue felt sweet in her heart, knowing that he bought it for her because he loved her, but she couldn’t bear to eat it herself, so she took one bun and gave the other to him. “One for me and one for you.”
Han Aiguo refused to eat, “No no, I’m not hungry. I can eat when we get home later.”
Su Yue simply took a bite on the bun, and then she handed the side she bit to him and said with a smile: “Then take a bite.”
Han Aiguo looked at the bun and his face became hot, all the way to his ears. He should have shaken his head and refused, but his mind honestly didn’t want to refuse, so he lowered his head with a red face and quickly took a bite on the gap ( where she took the bite).
Cute! Su Yue laughed in her heart.
She took the bun back, took another bite on the gap, looked at him with a smile and asked, “It’s so delicious~ Do you think it tastes good?”
Han Aiguo’s eyes flashed with shame, and his voice was low, “Okay. Eat.”
Su Yue pursed her lips and smiled happily, then handed the bun over again, “Then take another bite.”
Han Aiguo’s heart was also happier and sweeter than before. He wanted to refuse but couldn’t. He couldn’t. With the same control, he lowered his head and took a bite, but it was a very small piece.
Su Yue thought the steamed buns were really delicious when eaten like this.
That’s it for two people.
After each person ate the two buns in one bite, Han Aiguo took out a military kettle from his backpack and handed it to her, “Drink some water.”
Su Yue happened to be thirsty, so she took it and drank two sips and gave it back to him. But he shook his head, “You don’t have a kettle. It’s inconvenient to go out. This is mine. If you don’t mind it, just use it.”
Kettles are very expensive these days,
especially military kettles that can be carried with you. Most people buy them. No, it was only given to the army, but not to normal people. Every time she drank water, she could only bring some water in an enamel teapot, which was very inconvenient. she didn’t expect him to notice it.
If it were someone else, Su Yue would definitely not want it, but he was not someone else. This was her boyfriend, her future man, and there was no such thing as being polite to her man.
Su Yue took the kettle with a smile, then quickly stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek while he wasn’t paying attention.
Han Aiguo who was kissed, he froze in place and couldn’t even blink.
Su yue said with a smile: “Thank you, this is a thank you gift, do you like it?”
After a while, Han Aiguo raised his hand to touch the place where he was kissed, and looked at Su Yue’s eyes. It was extremely deep and quiet, as if something was buried inside.
But before Su Yue could take a closer look, the other three brothers of the Han family came back together. They didn’t notice anything was wrong between the two of them. They ran over happily, put their baskets on the mule cart, and said with a smile: ” All sold out!”
Seeing this, Su Yue got on the mule cart and said, “Then let’s go to the Grain Management Office and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy some things.”
Han Laoer drove the cart and took several people to the Grain Management Office, Su Yue bought the ingredients for making pastries, and then went to the slaughtering group of the supply and marketing cooperative. She took out all the meat stamps she had on her body, bought a pound of pork belly and a pound of tenderloin, and then bought some meat that didn’t require tickets.
Han Laosan couldn’t help but be surprised when Su Yue bought so much, “Su Zhiqing, why did you buy so much meat?”
Su Yue smiled and said, “Not too much, not too much, I just happened to be greedy, so I bought some meat for home and want to make something delicious.”
As soon as she mentioned the delicious food, the Han brothers’ mouths couldn’t help but salivate, just like a conditioned reflex. Although they wanted to say that Su Yue was too extravagant, but when they thought about the delicious taste, they couldn’t say it, because they were also greedy and wanted to eat it.
They arrived home quickly. The brothers of the Han family helped unload the purchased items from the car, and Han Aimin drove the mule cart to return them to the brigade.
Su Yue took out the meat she bought and went directly into the kitchen, “Auntie, let me cook at noon today. I bought meat let’s cook it for everyone.”
Old Mrs. Han said angrily: “What’s wrong with you girl?
” It’s too expensive to buy so much meat!”
The old lady knew that Su Yue bought so much meat because she wanted to feed the whole family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bought so much meat to eat alone. This girl is too generous.
Every time whenever she cooks, she thinks about their big family. But this also made her like this girl even more. She was open-minded and kind, and the most important thing was that she could do it. When she thought that such a good girl actually fell in love with their eldest, her old heart was very happy.
It is really God’s blessing that allowed her eldest son to find such a good partner. Her eldest son has not been very lucky since he was a child.
Thinking about how lucky he was this time, could it be that all the eldest luck for so many years was spent on finding a wife?
The more the old lady thought about it, the happier she became. She was so happy that she wished that Su Yue would marry Han Aiguo immediately and become the eldest daughter-in-law of their family.
Su Yue didn’t know what the old lady was thinking. She said while processing the meat: “Auntie, I exchanged cakes for a lot of cloth with others today, and I have to trouble you to make me two sets of clothes. The rest are There is a lot of cloth. If you want to make clothes for your family, I will give it to you. If you don’t want the cloth, then I will give you more money.” When the old lady heard that she didn’t want any votes for the cloth, she was so excited that she clapped her hands,
” I want it, I also lack cloth at home, but unfortunately I don’t have the tickets. Now it’s great, I can make some new clothes for the children at home during the Chinese New Year. Xiao Su, thank you very much.”
Su Yue: “Why are you thanking me, aunt? I’m here , thanks to you for taking care of me. Don’t be polite to me in the future, and don’t call me Xiao Su. Just call me Yueyue. My family members all call me that. It feels close to me.”
Old Mrs. Han smiled and narrowed her eyes, “Hey, that’s great, then I’ll call you Yueyue from now on.”
As the two of them talked, the meat in Su Yue’s hand was also processed, and she poured it into the Oil, put the tenderloins that were just prepared one by one into the oil and fried.
Old Mrs. Han asked: “Yueyue, what are you doing? I’ve never seen this before.”
Su Yue replied while busy: “I’m making sweet and sour pork.”
Old Mrs. Han laughed, “How can you do this? You can cook so many dishes, many of which I have never eaten in my whole life.”
Su Yue joked: “Because I am talented, people who are talented can cook it.”
The old lady was very amused by her.
The two of them chatted and laughed before cooking. Su Yue cooked five dishes in total, including sweet and sour pork loin, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried pork offal, a tofu soup, and a cabbage vermicelli.
The kitchen was filled with a strong aroma that could even be smelled in the main room.
The children at home were so happy that they were not even in the mood to play. They squatted eagerly at the door of the kitchen, waiting for the meal to be served. But this made Old Mrs. Han dumbfounded.
When she went out, she gave them a light slap in the face, “You guys are so greedy!”
This meal was simply the most sumptuous meal the Han family had ever eaten. It made everyone’s stomach full and made everyone burp.
While Su Yue was satisfied with her meal, she was even more satisfied when she looked at the rising numbers on the points panel.
