Reborn In The '80s

Cui Qingfeng pressed hard.

Xu Zhao had no choice but to put down the towel in his hand, and quickly opened the wooden door of the hut. As soon as he opened it, he saw Cui Qingfeng holding the foam box, looking at Xu Zhao excitedly and saying, "Xu Zhao! It's done!"

Xu Zhao asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

"Is the popsicle ready?"

"Yeah, and it's delicious!"

"Really delicious?"

"Very tasty!"

Cui Qingfeng was so excited that he didn’t know what to do. He really didn’t have the slightest hope for Xu Zhao’s popsicles. It might taste better than his ones, but they wouldn’t taste better than the popsicle factory’s, and naturally they couldn’t compare to the popsicles in the market. .

But he was wrong, and very wrong!The popsicles made by Xu Zhao are not ostentatious, but cool and sweet, with a slight refreshing feeling on the tongue. When they melt in the mouth, there is a rustling coolness. It is a hundred times better than the popsicle factory!He ate two in a row and gave one to his father. He couldn't suppress his excitement, so he came over in the dark on his bicycle and talked to Xu Zhao.

"Extremely?" Xu Zhao was suspicious.

"Very!" Cui Qingfeng said firmly.

Cui Qingfeng didn't need Xu Zhao to ask, he walked in with the foam box in his arms, put the foam box on the big table, lifted the small quilt, took out the popsicles inside, and handed one to Xu Zhao and one to Xu Fan. .

Xu Zhao took it and tasted it.

"How?" Cui Qingfeng asked expectantly, as if he made the popsicle instead of Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao said, "Not bad."

"Not bad? It's obviously super delicious!"

"Is it so delicious?"

"Of course! It's better than the popsicles in the city!" Cui Qingfeng said happily: "According to such popsicles, I dare to sell them in the county!"

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. You live in the county seat. Why don't you sell popsicles in the county seat?"

"Someone in the county sells popsicles."

"You can sell someone."

"They buy popsicles from the city, which are more delicious. I can't compete with them."

"So you go to the countryside to sell?"

"Ah."

Xu Zhao was ashamed, Cui Qingfeng really knew himself.

"However, it's done now!" Cui Qingfeng said, "You make it so delicious, I'm sure I can sell it in the county."

"Really?"

"Really! Xu Zhao, how about we start making popsicles and selling them tomorrow."

Xu Zhao was not a hesitant person, so he agreed immediately, but he changed the subject and said, "However—"

"what?"

"I can't make ice cream."

"why?"

"I need an extruder to make ice cream. We don't have one, but we can do something similar."

"Okay! As long as you want to do it."

"The issue of money—" This is what Xu Zhao cares most about. Everything he does is for money.

Cui Qingfeng said very boldly: "We split half and half, and the cost and profit are both equal. You make it at home, and I sell it outside, is that okay?"

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Yes."

"Then shall we start tomorrow?"

"Okay, tomorrow morning I will go to the county to make popsicles, and you can sell them at noon."

"Okay, that's it!"

"Row."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

Cui Qingfeng left happily holding the foam box.

Xu Zhao stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching the figure of Cui Qingfeng riding a bicycle getting farther and farther under the moonlight. He closed the gate of the courtyard and went back to the hut. He saw Xu Fan sitting on the bed and eating popsicles seriously. The mouth is red from eating.

"Xu Fan."

Xu Fan raised his pretty face and said, "Dad, it's delicious."

"Going to sleep."

"I can eat popsicles while sleeping."

"Be careful of stomach pain."

"No, I have a big belly."

"..."

The popsicles made by Liangbaikai used by Xu Zhao, in addition to the green, pink, and yellow colors added, the white popsicles are added with milk powder, glutinous rice, and white sugar, so they are all natural, and there is nothing to eat, so it did not stop Xu Fan from eating. , but turned around to take a shower, went back to the room and gave Xu Fan a bath again.

Then he went back to the bed, tied the mosquito net, and used the dim light of the kerosene lamp to catch the mosquitoes lying on the mosquito net. Xu Fan sat in the middle of the bed, with his two beautiful eyes wide open, rolling around between the mosquito nets. .

"Father, Jieer has a big mosquito."

"I saw."

"Dad! If there is anything else, call quickly."

"it is good."

"Father! Jie still has it! Jie'er still has it!"

"Ah."

"father!"

"Xu Fan, can you keep your voice down? Mosquitoes are deafened by you."

"Father, let me speak louder, and I will shock it to death."

"..."

Xu Zhao found that Xu Fan was a smart child. Although he was only two years old, he had a very clear mind and was smarter than any child he had ever seen. He didn't know whether it was the reason why he had feelings for Xu Fan or whether Xu Fan followed his father. In short, as long as Xu Fan is with him, he will feel full of security and at the same time talk a lot, but not annoying.

Xu Zhao suddenly found that it feels good to have a family member.

That night, Xu Zhao slept soundly.

Before dawn the next day, Xu’s family members were still asleep. Xu Zhao lit the kerosene lamp and began to make breakfast in the kitchen. The bowl comes out with a deep-fried dough stick that I didn't finish eating yesterday. It can be said that it is the most nutritious breakfast that the father and son have eaten so far.

When Xu Fan was woken up and saw it, he was immediately happy.

"Dad, it's an egg."

"Yes, come on, wash your face, rinse your mouth, and let's have breakfast."

"it is good."

After Xu Zhao and Xu Fan finished their breakfast, it was still dark, but Xu Zhao still carried Xu Fan on the road to the county seat. As they walked, Xu Fan fell asleep in Xu Zhao's arms.

After all, it was a child over two years old, Xu Zhao looked a little distressed, just wait a little longer, let him stay at home when Xu's mother came back from other places, and save him from running back and forth, this little body must not be able to bear it, and he I was also tired, and carried him all the way to Cui Qingfeng's house, only to find that my belly was full.

In summer, the dawn is early, in fact, it is only six o'clock.

"Are you here so early?" Cui Qingfeng looked at Xu Zhao in surprise.

"It takes time to make popsicles, so it won't work sooner."

"Xu Fan fell asleep?"

"Ah."

"Put me in bed and sleep."

"thank you."

"You're welcome, I'll help you make popsicles."

"Row!"

After putting Xu Fan down, Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng started to get busy, boiling water, adding white sugar, mixing coloring, grinding glutinous rice flour, making milk powder, and then Xu Zhao divided them according to the ratio and put them into several popsicle molds In the middle, Cui Qingfeng lined up the popsicle sticks one by one and placed them in the refrigerator to start freezing.

Fortunately, the refrigerator in Cui Qingfeng's mouth is like a freezer, and it's not a problem to store one or two hundred popsicles.

Then Xu Zhao took out the pen and paper he brought from home to record the data, even the wattage of the refrigerator.

Cui Qingfeng asked curiously: "What are you remembering?"

Xu Zhao said, "Remember the cost."

"What cost?"

"Look at whether we make it ourselves or go to the popsicle factory to get the goods, which one is more profitable?"

Xu Zhao then asked, "How do you calculate your electricity bill?"

Cui Qingfeng replied: "Seven cents a time, which one is more profitable?"

"I don't know yet, it depends on how much you sell."

"Okay, I'll try to sell as much as possible."

While the two were talking, the wooden door of the kitchen was pushed open. The two looked up habitually, but they didn't see anyone. At the same time, they moved their eyes down to the little Xu Fan. Xu Fan was barefoot, with one hand Holding on to the door frame, with the other hand holding a pair of ripped cloth shoes, his clear eyes were dazed, and when he saw Xu Zhao's one, his eyes immediately lit up, shining brightly like stars hidden in the sky, extremely It is beautiful, and it bends into a beautiful arc in a blink of an eye, and the milk cavity pops out immediately.

"father!"

Xu Zhao immediately smiled and asked, "Ah, Xu Fan, are you awake?"

Xu Fan immediately walked towards Xu Zhao: "Well, I got out of bed by myself."

"Excellent, what are you doing with your shoes?"

"Here are my shoes," as if someone else would steal his broken shoes.

"...Then why don't you put it on?"

"I can't wear it, I can't wear it, I, I, I...can't wear shoes."

Xu Zhao: "..."

Cui Qingfeng laughed after hearing this.

Xu Fan heard that Cui Qingfeng was laughing at him, imitating Xu Dawa, and gave Cui Qingfeng a blank look.

Cui Qingfeng covered his mouth and suppressed a smile.

After Xu Zhao put Xu Fan's shoes on, Cui Qingfeng smiled and said, "Your Xu Fan is so cute."

"of course."

"It's also good-looking."

"Follow me." Xu Zhao said, "He will look better when he gets fatter."

"It's not all up to you, his other father must look good, otherwise he wouldn't be like this—"

Another dad--

Cui Qingfeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly stopped talking and looked at Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao looked like he didn't care, but he really didn't care.

Cui Qingfeng changed the subject in embarrassment, and decided not to mention this matter again, saying, "You didn't have breakfast, did you? Eat it at my house."

"We've eaten." Xu Zhao said.

"I can eat again." Xu Fan looked at Xu Zhao timidly, lying on Xu Zhao's lap, and whispered, "I ate it, I, I, I can eat it again..."

After speaking, her little face was buried in Xu Zhao's lap.

How to be shy!

Xu Zhao: "..."

Cui Qingfeng: "..."

So when Cui Qingfeng's mother made breakfast, she made a small extra portion for Xu Fan. Xu Zhao felt very sorry, but the Cui family was good, so Xu Zhao secretly kept this affection in his heart. The popsicles were frozen solid. Xu Zhao and Cui Qingfeng took out the popsicles one by one, wrapped them in popsicle paper, neatly stacked them in a foam box, covered them with a small quilt, and tied them to the back seat of the bicycle.

Cui Qingfeng went to sell popsicles.

Xu Zhao didn't go home immediately, but waited for Cui Qingfeng to come back to see how the sale was. He was afraid that everyone would not like the food, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Worry.

Until I heard the bell of a bicycle ringing outside the door.

Cui Qingfeng is back!

Xu Zhao hurriedly took Xu Fan out to greet him.
