When Qin Lingling had cooked the food, she and Gu Yao ate it first. The braised pork and bamboo shoots were sliced. Half of the stewed pork and bamboo shoots were left at home. The other half was brought to Gu's house next door when Gu Yao was eating.

A burst of scent wafted, making the Gu family, who hadn't cooked the food, really greeted the four of them.

Gu Guoqiang smelled the scent, and hurried over to see his sister-in-law carrying meat into his door.

He looked at the fragrant meat on the plate in surprise, "Sister-in-law, are you giving this to our family?"

Qin Lingling has not given Gu's food and drink in the past six months. Sometimes when she feels good, she will give them a bite. Gu Dashun and Li Dani can be said to be cannibalistic and have a lot of attitude towards Qin Lingling. Yes, but this meat is the first time.

A catty of meat costs seven or eight cents. This braised meat, a large plate, plus bamboo shoots, is estimated to be more than a catty.

Gu Guoqiang suddenly felt that his sister-in-law was generous.

Of course Qin Lingling didn't suddenly show her kindness and wanted to honor the two elders. She was gagging their mouths when she ate.

She asked Gu Guoqiang and the others to help dig so many bamboo shoots and pick up so many more. The old couple who lived together must also know. They don't say anything now, but it doesn't mean they won't in the future.

And now she wanted to use this meat to plug their mouths, by the way, to make it clear to them all at once, so as not to get out of the way and suddenly go out to talk nonsense, and at the same time, it can be regarded as providing them with a way to make small money.

Qin Lingling entered the house, and the old couple happened to be in the house.

Bringing in this fragrant meat, the old couple's eyes straightened suddenly.

Li Dani even stood up and walked forward directly. The fox questioned: "For us?"

"Well, it's for you." When Li Dani saw this, she was not polite, and directly reached out to pick it up.

But before she touched the plate with her hand, Qin Lingling moved a little away and said, "Although it is for you, I have something I want to talk to you carefully. Say it first before eating."

When Li Dani heard this, she withdrew her hand, but replied, "Say, what's the matter?"

Qin Lingling put the meat directly on the table, with a clear voice, "Actually, things are very simple. Recently, I often get back from the mountain by bamboo shoots. You should also know that you have also helped me, Guoqiang and Chunhua. You guys have tasted the bamboo shoots too, it tastes good, right?"

Li Dani didn't say a word, but Gu Da replied: "It's delicious, a bowl of porridge in the morning, put some sour bamboo shoots, it's delicious, just hungry fast."

"Sour bamboo shoots help digestion, it is natural to be hungry fast."

Gu Guoqiang's No. 1 fan also nodded quickly, "It's delicious. The bamboo shoots made by my sister-in-law, I can eat directly when I am hungry."

The second fan girl Gu Chunhua also nodded, "Well, the bamboo shoots made by my sister-in-law are delicious."

All of them expressed their opinions, and Qin Lingling did not hide it. "Recently, Guoqiang Chunhua and the others have also helped. You should also know that there are only a few people in our family, and we can't finish it, even if it’s the season when there is no food. There are too many bamboo shoots. In addition to eating so many sour bamboo shoots by myself, I sell some of them to people."

Hearing this, the four looked up at her.

Only Gu Yao knew Qin Lingling's production of sour bamboo shoots for sale, but Gu Yao didn't know how Qin Lingling sold them.

Qin Lingling said: "The family doesn't make much money. Although this sour bamboo shoot can't make much money, it is still possible to earn stew every month. I will tell you today to prevent you from being afraid of you when someone asks about it in the future. If you missed it, everyone would help with this matter in our family. If people find out and report it, everyone will help and will be punished. Of course, if you don’t tell me, the money we earn will be paid every month. A tooth sacrifice, hello, hello, hello, everyone, I’m here today, Changliang, to tell you that I will also use the money from the first bamboo shoot sale to buy meat for you to eat."

I saw Li Dani's eyes lit up immediately, apparently she didn't expect Qin Lingling to sell so much money back with her skill.

But before she was too surprised, Qin Lingling said again: "Of course, I also paid some for this meat. Today's meal is treated as a treat for everyone. If you don't tell me, let's eat well every month. , Even if I go to Gu Zheng in the future, Gu Yao and you will have a meaty income. I am doing good for Gu Yao and also for your good."

"Of course, if you can’t see it and are jealous, you can also sue the speculation office. Then everyone has no meat to eat. At most, my family will take those two jars to the speculation office. In the village, we are in front of a villager. , Was criticized."

Qin Lingling's words are clear enough. There are four people in the house. Gu Guoqiang and Gu Chunhua quickly stated that they would not say anything.

Gu Dashun also said: "This is good. Now many people in the village are also secretly selling this and that, not just our family, there is nothing to say, a bit of meat every month, isn't it better than anything?"

After Gu Dashun expressed his opinion, Li Dani was the only one left.

The four of them looked at her, but looked at Li Dani with a guilty conscience, and curled their necks and asked, "What do you think of me? I agreed to both of them. What else can I say?"

Li Dani didn't want to oppose. After Qin Lingling dug so many bamboo shoots, she knew that it was impossible to just pickle and eat by herself, and not eat it as a meal. She had to eat so many bamboo shoots every day.

But she has eaten other people's things, so she can't say anything more? This will hear Qin Lingling say so, she finally knows why she has so many bamboo shoots.

Moreover, the bamboo shoots were exchanged for such a large plate of meat, which she felt was worth more than anything.

She is selfish, and it is precisely because of selfishness that she will not report them. After all, after reporting, it will not do her any good.

Is it just for venting?

Forget it, she feels that she is out of breath now.

As for other things, it is even more impossible. On the contrary, the life of the next step-son’s house is better, and she can still taste some sweetness. Although the son and daughter run next door all day, but now they work hard and obediently, she also has face when going out. .

Also, she wants to report, isn't she trying to get her son and daughter in?

Therefore, she has no reason or stand to report!

Seeing Li Dani's depressed face, Qin Lingling smiled and said, "That's OK, since you have made it clear, if you have time in the future, just listen to me and do it. We can still eat meat once or twice a month."

Pushing the plate in the direction of Li Dani, Qin Lingling turned and went out.

When people went out and closed the door, Li Dani approached the table of Eight Immortals for dinner. The stewed pork kept smelling scent, and her nose moved and moved, only feeling too fragrant.

Gu Guoqiang wanted to taste it, but Li Dani patted it with one hand and stopped, "Don't move, the meal is still not ready, what to eat?"

Gu Guoqiang was wronged and could only wait until the rice was steamed before cooking.

The yellow braised pork has bamboo shoots in it. The white bamboo shoots have been braised with the sauce, and now they have become yellow. If you don't look at it carefully, you can't see the bamboo shoots at all. I thought it was meat. But the bamboo shoots are fried and crispy. The family has just such a large plate of Roujia bamboo shoots. They were eaten cleanly. Even the juice inside was mixed with rice and eaten by Gu Guoqiang. He even licked it for fear of uncleanness. Once again, there is no need to wash the clean ones.

And only four or five days later, when Qin Lingling didn't have time to sell her own sour bamboo shoots, Wang Hua came again.

"Sister Lingling, I'm here again, I want to ask you more for sour bamboo shoots this time."

Qin Lingling was surprised, "Are all the twenty catties sold out?"

Wang Hua shook his head, "Not yet, but it's coming soon. In the first two days, there were few people eating. I don't know what happened. On the third day and the fourth day, suddenly many people asked for it. Not even me. Come to think of it, you also know that my family does not just make this soup pho, but also other things. Others eat other things and want to order it. I also asked if I only put some soup pho? Sell ​​it to them alone? I said that of course it is possible, so I sold it in plates for five cents. I didn’t expect that they could also buy it."

You know, a plate of five cents is actually not too much. One catty of bamboo shoots, removing the water from the inside, cuts into thin strips, can make five or six cents, six or seven cents. This can be said to be a huge profit. NS.

"At first I thought they wouldn't want it. After all, it's a bit expensive, but I didn't expect these people to say that although it's a bit expensive, they still want to buy it. There are factories near our place, and those are all factories. Workers, there is no money in their hands. I also told them that if you buy this, you don’t need to spend a ticket. Everyone will be happy to buy it.

Qin Lingling did not expect that this effect would be so good.

Just listen to Wang Hua quickly said: "You will sell me more, my 20 catties will soon be sold out, and I can't break it."

But Qin Lingling said: "Sister-in-law, I can give you these bamboo shoots. There are still a lot of marinated bamboo shoots left in my house. It won't take long for the next tank to be out of the tank. However, sister-in-law, you know hunger sales."

Wang Hua was confused when she heard it, "What kind of hunger sale is this, I have never heard of it."

Qin Lingling only remembered that this term came up later.

She said: "It's actually very simple. Don't provide too many servings every day, and set so many servings every day. Even if someone wants to buy it, you say there is no more."

"But in this way, doesn't it make a lot of money less? How can it work?"

Wang Hua is now seeing that the business in the store is getting better and better, she thought, following this soaking, her family's voice will only double and double, so that the effect of the sour bamboo shoots is huge.

"Sister-in-law, you should have heard the saying that things are rare and expensive. You sell so well now, firstly, because the sour bamboo shoots are delicious, and secondly because of the novelty, the county is out of your family, but Have you ever thought that you have been selling it all the time, you have sold a lot, and everyone eats a lot, and you don’t like to see sour bamboo shoots in the future. I want you to make a rationed supply, that is, only sell ten servings a day. Or twenty copies. If it exceeds this share, it is gone. Although there are still people who want to sell, but they can’t buy them, they will definitely lose the money, but in this way, it seems that your sour bamboo shoots are scarce. Everyone thinks your sour bamboo shoots are delicious. People who want to buy it are not easy to buy. Naturally, there will be more people who want to eat. This way, the appetite can be dangled and the business can be continued for a long time."

After listening to her explanation, Wang Hua finally understood a little bit, "It just makes people feel that we have good things, and others can't buy them if they have money, right?"

"Yes, there will be more people who want to eat our sour bamboo shoots at that time. This way, it can also drive other businesses in your shop. Otherwise, over time, everyone will only like to buy sour bamboo shoots, completely forgetting that you still have them. The noodle soup is sold."

What Qin Lingling said was very simple, and Wang Hua carefully stroked it, and it became clearer.

She looked at Qin Lingling gratefully, "Sister Lingling, fortunately you remind me, otherwise I really want to sell the sour bamboo shoots every day. When someone buys sour bamboo shoots and eats them at home, who would come to my house to eat noodles? Bamboo shoots, you still have to put them in the noodles to attract customers."

"Well, my sister-in-law can make a few more dishes at that time, such as green vegetable noodles, sour bamboo shoots noodles, and other kinds of noodles. So when some people don’t want to eat bamboo shoots, they have a choice. Then you can choose meat noodles, sour bamboo shoots noodles The price of green noodles is set. Customers see you as many products, sour bamboo shoots and delicious. Naturally, it will spread from ten to ten, and there will be more people."

"Yes, yes, you are so right, thank you for reminding me!"

Qin Lingling reminded that Wang Hua was not in a hurry to sell all the sauerkraut, but she still ordered ten catties of sour bamboo shoots each, but compared to the last price, this time the price has increased by one catty. It's a dime.

For twenty catties of bamboo shoots, Qin Lingling sold another three yuan.

Although this income is not much, for Qin Lingling, this is a good way for Gu Yao to find.

When Gu Yao worked for another year and the clarion call for reform and opening up, Qin Lingling let the Gu family follow this momentum.

Of course, if Gu Yao can read, she still hopes that Gu Yao will take a college entrance examination. However, she can also see her tutoring Gu Yao’s academic performance. Gu Yao is not very talented in learning, and some of her grades are okay, but some of them are not very good. Of course, it may also be because Gu Yao’s time in school is too short. She has been away from school for too many years. What she is learning now is the knowledge of elementary school, even the junior high school is just, but also basically ignorant.

It doesn't matter, everything can be done slowly, and she is not in a hurry.

With Wang Hua's two purchases of sour bamboo shoots these times, Qin Lingling has become more active about doing sour bamboo shoots.

At this time, Gu Zheng’s letter came, telling her that after the beginning of April, she can move over. The army’s family rooms are all ready, and the first and second batch of soldiers and their families have moved in. Many chiefs’ homes His wife and children are all preparing to go to the army. And they are the third batch.

In the letter sent by Gu Zheng, there was also a notice about the army's wife entering the army's family room, which was very considerate.

With this letter, Qin Lingling will also prepare to go to the army and gather with Gu Zheng. She is now a woman with a husband, and it is impossible to live here forever.

As for Gu Yao, I heard that my brother’s letter said that my sister-in-law would go with the army. Although she was a little bit disappointed, she soon eased off.

She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, go ahead. My brother must miss you very much. You haven't seen each other for so long."

"But if you leave you alone at home, I'm actually not at ease."

Although Gu Yao said earlier that she would not follow the army, she also made this plan, but Gu Zheng's faith came, and she still hesitated.

Do you want to leave Gu Yao here alone?

Gu Yao shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. It's okay for me to be alone. Anyway, there are so many tasks waiting for me at home. I can't be with you in the army. My brother has difficulty supporting both of us."

"Not difficult." Qin Lingling said.

In fact, with Gu Zheng’s current allowance, it is not difficult to support their aunts. Besides, she will try to make money as much as possible.

After all, after getting along for so long, I suddenly said that I was going to be far away from Gu Yao, and there were not many opportunities to meet in the future. Qin Lingling still hoped that Gu Yao would think clearly about whether or not to join the army with her?

"You are here, your studies will be delayed, and that is, I'm afraid you will be bullied."

Gu Yao insisted, "Sister-in-law, I know you are good to me, but in that army, being happy is happy, but I still don’t get used to it. I am different from you. You are my brother’s daughter-in-law. You should be with him. As for me, I want to go with you. What should I do with Jiang Xiaoben? And what should I do with family affairs? You taught me how to pickled bamboo shoots before. If I leave too, let's take the bamboo shoots again. If you want to make money, you can't make it."

Gu Yao repeatedly said that she would be fine alone at home.

"Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’m not the same Gu Yao anymore. I now know how to make our family a better life. Just let me stay at home for a while. Maybe I miss you someday, so I’ll find you and live. It’s been a while ago. Anyway, I’m free, so don’t worry."

Gu Yao insisted again and again. Although Qin Lingling was a little worried, she knew that she should let Gu Yao grow up alone.

Having been with Gu Yao for two years, she has indeed changed a lot now, and she is no longer a silly girl.

"Alright, since you said that, I can only respect your decision, but if there are any difficulties in the family, you will write to me and your brother when the time comes."

"Well, yes."

It was easy to say, but when Gu Yao lay down to sleep at night, she was still a little bit disappointed in her heart.

But she insisted on her decision, probably because in the past two years, she has grown up, knowing when to stick to her sister-in-law and when to let go.

Besides, the family is now different from before. She is no longer afraid of Aunt Dani, Guoqiang and Chunhua, both of whom are called moving, and the sister-in-law gave her a task to make sour bamboo shoots.

Gu Zheng said in the letter that he would personally come back to pick her up at that time, arrange the family affairs, and then go there together.
