The Sweetness of the Seventies

673

The two little guys were laughing and joking outside.

"Don't be naughty." He Tiantian quickly stopped him. In the blink of an eye, five or six bricks had been thrown in.

When Huo Ruimin saw her mother scolding her, she took her brother's hand and waddled over there to see the chickens and ducks.

"I'm sorry, the kid is naughty." He Tiantian apologized. After throwing in a few bricks, the piggy inside began to grunt and scream, frightened.

"It's okay, he's a kid. I haven't seen him in the city. At first glance, he thought it was funny." Mother Wu said with a smile, not angry.

He Tiantian took her children to play in the countryside, stayed here for one night, and returned to Nanshi tomorrow morning.

There should be classes tomorrow, Monday, but they are in the afternoon. If you leave early in the morning, you won't delay the afternoon classes.

Children were playing in the village, He Tiantian and Huang Jingli followed.

Huo Yingjie was discussing business with Wu's father and Wu Youfa. They decided on the quality and price, and wrote two simple contracts, each signing and fingerprinting them.

When He Tiantian walked around the village, she found that every household raised pigs to supplement their family income. You can make a lot of money by selling a pig, which is equivalent to half of your family's savings.

Some women are very diligent and raise more than one animal. In this case, they can earn more. However, adults and children are a little tired, hunting pigweed everywhere.

"Aunt Wu, is everyone raising pigs, chickens and ducks at home now?" He Tiantian asked. If this is the case, she doesn't have to worry about the supply of goods.

"Yes, every household raises them." Wu's mother said, "In the past, we were not allowed to raise them and we didn't dare to raise them. At most, we kept two hens at home to lay eggs in exchange for some oil and salt. Now we are allowed to raise them, and everyone raises them. As long as you work hard. , earning a lot of money all year round.”

"Now that the fields have been distributed to each household, there is enough food to eat and there is still some leftover. If we raise chickens, ducks, and pigs at home, we can save a lot of money throughout the year." Huang Jingli said, "It's still better, as long as you are willing to If you do it, you will live a prosperous life.”

"It's great." He Tiantian said, people are not afraid of being tired or suffering, but they are afraid of being tired and suffering, not having enough to eat and not being able to save money.

In the evening, Wu Youfa killed an old hen, cleaned it, and then brought it over and asked his aunt to cook it for He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie.

When Wu Youfa heard that his second uncle wanted to partner with him in business, of course he was willing!

Collect goods in the countryside and then buy them in the city. If you have customers, the business will be done well. After one year, it will be much better than farming.

After breakfast the next day, the group returned to the city.

Go back and get the supply.

Half a month later, everything was in place, and the store had a brand new look. The three words "Sanfeng Bridge" were written on the ancient plaque exuding a simple dark brown color.

Because it hasn't opened yet, the plaque is covered with red cloth.

People coming and going, passing by here, will stop and take a look, not knowing what they want to do!

The sixth day of April is a good time to start a business, buy a property, or move.

It's the weekend, and it's also the big day for Sanfengqiao's opening.

Two days ago, Sun Sihao went to the supply and marketing cooperative and placed an order for twenty pounds of meat, three chickens, and three ducks per day.

Originally, he wanted to order more, but the supply and marketing cooperative was unwilling, so Sun Sihao had no choice but to give up.

The price is more expensive than what is bought from outside, but the quality is not necessarily better than what is bought from outside.

Sun Sihao decided that if the external supply could be stabilized, he would not order from the supply and marketing cooperative. Buying things at high prices depends on people's faces.

Wu Youliang's father, Wu Youfa, drove an ox cart and delivered four pigs in two consecutive days, enough for four days.

When I first opened my business, I killed one pig, five chickens, and five ducks a day to test sales first.

Qian Shikun's home is being renovated, so he has to stay at home and look at the materials at night. Sun Sihao and Sun Sihao's daughter-in-law Qin can start braised pork at night.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were also there, teaching Sun Sihao what to do and how to control the heat.

As for the contents in the pot, just put the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in proportion, add He Tiantian’s secret seasoning packet, throw it in, and stew it directly.

The stove was specially researched by Huo Yingjie based on the characteristics of braised pork. It uses coal, which has low coal consumption, and also has a range hood.

What the workers like most is the hair removal machine made by Huo Yingjie. After bleeding, they throw it into the machine and rotate it a few times, and the feathers of chickens, ducks and geese are removed.

Then use tweezers to pluck out some of the small hairs in the nooks and crannies, which saves time and effort.

What made He Tiantian even more excited was that Huo Yingjie actually transformed a small four-square-meter room into a freezer. Although it is not even tens of degrees below zero, it can be guaranteed that the meat that has not been sold out on a hot day will not go bad if left in it for a few days.

It wasn't that Huo Yingjie wasn't capable enough, but that there was a shortage of materials.

If there are materials, Huo Yingjie can make a high-end freezer, but there are not enough materials.

These are the parts that Huo Yingjie got from some factories, and some were parts that he asked for help to buy. He bought some key parts that were discarded from the factories and built the freezer together with Wu Youliang.

"Brother Yingjie, you are so awesome." He Tiantian said. If you sell braised pork, it will go bad if you don't sell enough, especially in summer.

It's great to have this freezer. If you can't sell out, you can put it in the freezer and cook it the next day, just like before.

"The material is not thick now. If there is, I can make better ones. I will make do with it now." Huo Yingjie said, doing something within his power.

Anti-tank missiles can be built, let alone a freezer.

On the first day of opening, there will be a big opening bonus and free tasting.

Today's pig, two ducks, and two chickens were all cut into small pieces and placed on different plates for people passing by to try later.

This is a relatively new way of promotion.

Early in the morning, Wu Youliang, Huang Jingli, Cui Ying, and Huashan came over to help.

At 8:08 in the morning, after two strings of 10,000-ring firecrackers exploded, the red cloth on the plaque was torn off, revealing an antique plaque with three large golden characters written on it, "Sanfeng Bridge" .

After the opening, each person held a small plate in one hand and a toothpick in the other to give food tastings to passers-by.

Sanfengqiao is always a place with a very large flow of people. People pass by, some go to work, others go out to do errands, and there are several large residential areas around it.

It’s free, free stuff, and everyone likes it!

"Auntie, come and try our new braised pork from Sanfengqiao." Huang Jingli said, inserting a finger-sized piece of meat with a toothpick for an aunt who was buying vegetables.

The lady looked at Huang Jingli warily and said, "I don't have money to buy it!"

"No money, big opening bonus, free trial." Huang Jingli explained, "Come, try it, if it tastes good, you can come to our store to buy it if you want to eat it later."
