When the weather is hot in summer, people in the villages near Anshan Town don't stay at home when the sun sets, but go outside to "enjoy the shade" on the drying field.
Everyone moved the bamboo slats and bamboo chairs to the concrete drying yard in front of the house, and then took a paddle fan, and while fanning themselves, they patted their legs from time to time to drive away mosquitoes and flies.
Of course, there are also those who are willing to spend money, just place a circle of mosquito coils at their feet.
At this time, even dinner, everyone likes to eat out. The porridge cooked early in the morning is served in bowls and placed on the stove to cool. When you want to eat it at night, bring a bowl, and put some pickles and fermented bean curd on it. On the porridge noodles, go to the drying field to eat.
There are also children who like to eat sweets, and the porridge will be sprinkled with brown sugar.
There are also some young people who simply walk or ride their bikes to town.
Especially those who are in a relationship, after dinner, this is an absolute must go out for a walk.
This is the case with the rural people, and the people in the town are similar, and everyone likes to walk outside.
And this walk, often will walk near the cinema.
There is a small square here that sells everything, even if you don't buy it, you can come and see the fun.
And today... there's another stall here
"Ice soda ice Coke, 50 cents a cup! Mung bean popsicles and red bean popsicles, 30 cents a piece!" Shi Zhen shouted from time to time.
The soda sold by Shi Zhen is produced by a nearby factory. It is packed in glass bottles and the purchase price is 30.51 bottles.
This kind of soda shop generally sells sixty cents a bottle, and glass bottles are recycled for one cent, which is equivalent to selling fifty cents of the soda inside.
There was a case of soda beside Shi Zhen, and a large bottle of Coke.
The ice soda and ice cola he was talking about were made by taking a disposable cup slightly larger than an ordinary disposable cup, scooping a few pieces of ice with a large spoon, and then pouring soda or cola into it.
A bottle of soda can be poured into about two glasses, and a large bottle of Coke can be poured into many glasses. He sells it for fifty cents a glass, and the profit is very high.
But still many people come to buy it.
After all, he is ice, especially to relieve the heat.
I took my girlfriend to go shopping, and my girlfriend felt hot, so why not buy a cup to cool down
Of course, some people think that 50 cents a cup of cold drinks is a bit expensive, so they can buy two cents a piece of sugar water popsicles, or three cents a red bean popsicle, the price is the same as that of the canteen.
The business here in Shi Zhen is very good. Many people buy food such as fried skewers, they will come to buy cold drinks, and people who watch movies are also happy to bring a cup in.
Now movie theaters only sell tickets, not popcorn and cola!
Some people just want to eat colder, and they also ask for more ice cubes to save Shi Zhen soda.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu sold one and received the money. The two cooperated tacitly and received a pile of coins in no time.
While they were selling, Zhao Qiujuan came. She came here to help. She looked at the place where she didn't need her, and stood beside her embarrassedly.
Taking advantage of his free time, Shi Zhen poured her a glass of Coke: "Sister, let's have an iced Coke." Zhao Qiujuan should have never drank this.
With Zhao Qiujuan, Shi Zhen won't fall from Zhao Meiyun's place, and even Shi Dalin gave him a glass with more ice and less cola.
Shi Dalin doesn't have diabetes yet, so he doesn't want to give him a drink.
Zhao Qiujuan took it and gave Shi Zhen two dollars.
"No need." Shi Zhen refused.
"Yes, Tingting said that this is not your business alone. You take money from her when she eats popsicles. Why don't you want my money?" Zhao Qiujuan quickly put two dollars into Shi Zhen's cash box.
Shi Zhen didn't shirk any more, and took out two mung bean popsicles to Zhao Qiujuan.
Zhao Qiujuan gave two dollars and paid for Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun's cold drinks, and there was still fifty cents left.
When Zhao Qiujuan got a popsicle, she gave one to Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun each.
Seeing this, Shi Zhen said, "Sister, my dad doesn't like sweets, so you can eat it with Aunt Zhao."
People with severe diabetes in their previous life who developed several complications in the later stage should not eat too many sweets.
Shi Dalin: "..." Who said he doesn't like sweets anymore? He has always liked sweets!
He used to say that he didn't like sweet food, that's why he wanted to save the delicious food for the children!
However, Shi Dalin was embarrassed to say that he liked sweets, so he had to stop talking. Zhao Meiyun opened the popsicle and let him take a bite, and he took a small bite to save face.
Shi Zhen poured Guan Baiyu a glass of Coke.
Guan Baiyu put it to his mouth and wanted him to drink it, but he refused: "I don't like sweet drinks."
After finishing speaking, Shi Zhen scooped up half a glass of ice for himself, added Liang Bai Kai, and took a sip.
Guan Baiyu could only drink it by himself, and then glance at Shi Zhen from time to time.
The way his brother works, he really can't get enough of it.
Shi Zhen received the money for fifty cents, and it was a pity secretly.
If he has a storefront, he can get some tables and chairs, and some beautiful cups... At that time, he can get all the milk tea shaved ice and so on, and he can also launch some more expensive products.
There are still a lot of rich people in the town. Shaved ice is sold for three yuan a bowl. It is estimated that some people want it.
Of course, it's fine now.
Shi Zhen's cold drink stall, together with the fried skewer stall, was set up until ten o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the ice cubes in the refrigerator have melted a little.
He went out at five o'clock, and now it's more than four hours, and the freezer can last so long... Shi Zhen said hello to his parents and pushed the stall home. Took a shower and went to bed at eleven o'clock.
There was no need to sell rice balls in the morning, Shi Zhen slept until after seven o'clock in one breath, and he was full of energy.
It was already July 20th, and there were only thirty or forty days away from school. These days, Shi Zhen had already made plans to send and receive sweaters in the village during the day, and sell cold drink popsicles in the town at night.
Well, when he was sending and receiving sweaters during the day, he would also sell popsicles in the village by the way, as for cold drinks.
The cold drink business is really profitable. Shi Zhen added some beverages one after another, such as iced milk, iced orange water, at least 30 cents per cup, no problem selling more than 100 cups a night, plus popsicles and frozen bottles Drinks or something... He can earn hundreds of dollars a day.
In addition, sending and receiving sweaters can earn more than 100 a day... Shi Zhen finally felt relieved and no longer worried about the tuition fees of Guan Baiyu and Shi Ting.
However, Shi Ting's study is still very worrying.
Her grades are too bad and her foundation is poor.
Shi Zhen gave up treatment for her.
If you want Shi Ting to go to college, don't even think about it, but in a few years, the secondary school will be better. If you find a way to let Shi Ting enter the secondary school, it should be no problem to be a nurse or a kindergarten teacher in the future.
These occupations are all short of people now, and the score line will be lower... Nowadays, a better secondary school graduates, but they can directly become a doctor!
As for Shi Ting's love of spending money... Shi Zhen doesn't talk about anything else with her now, just talk about life and never owe money.
Shi Zhen also told a few scary stories about money owed.
For example, some people owe usurious loans and are dragged to sell them into black coal mines, where they dig coal day and night.
Another example is someone who owes a debt and fails to pay it back, has his hand chopped off, and his hamstring is broken.
What he said was vivid and vivid, and Shi Ting was almost scared to cry.
Guan Baiyu was a little confused when he saw it, what was his brother doing to scare his sister
Before Guan Baiyu, he was a bit grumpy about Shi Ting. This is Shi Zhen's sister who grew up with each other. He was very afraid that after Shi Ting appeared, his brother would turn around Shi Ting and didn't care about him.
However, such a thing did not happen.
Sometimes he can even clearly feel that his brother and Shi Ting are far less close than his brother is to him.
In this way, he has no grudge against Shi Ting.
These days, he taught Shi Ting to read, but he couldn't teach it, and he felt a little sympathetic to Shi Ting.
Seeing Shi Ting being frightened, Guan Baiyu specially opened a bottle of soda for her and gave her a free drink.
"Brother Bai Yu, thank you." Shi Ting was recently overcharged by Shi Zhen, and it was rare for someone to treat a guest so embarrassed. Half of this bottle of soda was given to Guan Baiyu.
Ahem, her brother is doing business with Guan Baiyu, and now Guan Baiyu is drinking Guan Baiyu's share, and she is drinking her brother's share, just right.
Guan Baiyu liked the drink popsicles, so he added some ice cubes and drank it slowly.
Shi Zhen poured the frozen ice cubes into the basin, and then poured cold white water into the plastic grid, and continued to freeze the ice cubes.
The scene of Guan Baiyu and Shi Ting drinking soda together made him a little dazed.
In the past few months, Guan Baiyu has grown a lot taller and looks a lot better.
And his sister, although a little dark and a little silly, is also a little beauty.
Boys and girls, is this a childhood sweetheart
At this time, Guan Baiyu asked Shi Ting about Shi Zhen in a low voice.
Shi Ting talked a lot about her brother's childhood, in a mess, and said it wherever she thought of it.
"My brother once showed me the tail of a small snake, but the snake rolled up and bit him. Fortunately, it's not poisonous..."
"My brother climbed a tree and fell from a tree. At that time, his eyes were full of blood. I was especially afraid that he would fall blind. Fortunately, only his eyelids were injured. There are still scars on his eyelids."
"Once he thought he could jump from one rock to another, but his pants were so tight that he stumbled, didn't jump, and hit the rock..."
…
Guan Baiyu: "..." What you remember, sister, is your brother's bad luck.
However, it is really hard to imagine that his brother was so unstable before.
Shi Ting remembered, of course, not all of Shi Zhen's bad luck: "My brother has a big appetite, I am embarrassed to eat more at home, and I am afraid that I will eat up the rice in the pot, so I always go out to find something to eat, what a mess. , can be found, he also told me to experience the hard times, and took me to peel the bark to make dumplings, and it was delicious, but the tree was peeled off by him and died."
"My brother can also weave straw sandals, which is much better than my dad's. He also weave straw curtains to help me surround my bed!"
"He will also swing on the vines, from one tree to another, and he can climb trees very well. For such a high jujube tree, he climbs up in two or three strokes, but it is a pity that the tree There are many worms in the jujube, which makes me mad."
"My brother is very popular in our village. Several sisters in the village who are about his age like him and want to be my sister-in-law."
In the end, Shi Ting was proud.
Guan Baiyu was very unhappy. He didn't even know why he was unhappy. Basically... he didn't want his brother to get married.
"How are they doing now?"
"It's okay," Shi Ting whispered, "When we came out this time, they even gave my brother something, but my brother didn't want it."
Guan Baiyu was even more unhappy.
Shi Ting added: "I think my brother will not be the same as before after he came out. He didn't laugh like this, walk like this, and speak like this. I'm really a little scared when I see him now... Isn't it? Is it too hard outside? Alas, my brother said before that he would bring me gifts when he got home, but he didn't bring anything."
Shi Ting's mood was a little down.
Guan Baiyu said: "Brother should have grown up, you have to be considerate of him."
"Yeah." Shi Ting nodded seriously.
After Shi Zhen sold cold drinks for a few days, he met the wife who was told to Guan Wenguo.
It was a squat, ordinary-looking woman. She was in her thirties. Her surname was also Li, and her name was Li Xiangwen.
Li Xiangwen is very diligent. She helped Guan Wenguo's family do the laundry when she first arrived, and even picked up clothes from Shi Zhen to embroider.
Shi Zhen doesn't like Guan Kai's family, but he generally doesn't target people. Whether it's the little grandma or Li Xiangwen who comes to him to get sweaters, he always gives them.
But the little grandma wanted to ask him for more beads or something, so he wouldn't give it.
He didn't understand, this kind of plastic beads, what the little grandma wants to do if you want more, it's useless, right
The little grandma can't take advantage of it, but she still likes to come and chat with people.
At first, she praised Li Xiangwen vigorously, saying that Li Xiangwen is better than Li Ahui.
However, it didn't take long for her to dislike Li Xiangwen, saying that she was not good to Guan Kai, and that Guan Kai cried when she cooked dishes that Guan Kai didn't like. Anyway, she felt that it was particularly inappropriate, and the people around her felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Xiangwen.
Just... Li Xiangwen has only been here for a few days, how could she know what Guan Kai doesn't like to eat? Isn't it normal to make something that Guan Kai doesn't like to eat
Shi Zhen knew why Guan Wenguo couldn't find his wife in his last life...
Sure enough, Li Xiangwen lived in Guanwen country for half a month, but she couldn't stand it anymore and left Guanwen country directly.
At this time, the little grandmother stopped talking bad about Li Xiangwen, and began to miss Li Xiangwen, thinking that Li Xiangwen was pretty good.
Shi Zhen: "…"
However, the gossip about the little grandmother's house is not the most concerned about by the villagers now.
Recently, there was a man in the next village who made some money doing business and got on with a woman in the town. He was arguing about getting a divorce. He was chased out by his son and his father with a door lock. This is the best news.
This man is not too young, all the women who are close to him are grandmothers, and his son is in his twenties. Everyone in the village thinks that he has something wrong.
I also feel that his son is too reckless. If he drives people away like this, he has no money!
But the man's good looks can't give birth, and the money is estimated to be his son in the end.
July just passed, and at the beginning of August, something unexpected happened suddenly, which seriously affected Shi Zhen's business.
Once it rains, Shi Zhen can't go out to sell cold drinks. As a result, in early August, a typhoon actually blew.
The typhoon knocked down Guan Jianguo's small jujube tree. This is a trivial matter, and the more troublesome thing is that it rained for two days in a row, and then... The water in the river in front of Guan Baiyu's house became more and more full, and the river was full of water. The cement road by the river was submerged. Guan Baiyu's house was next to the road, and the door was full of water.
If Guan Baiyu's house hadn't been raised a little higher, the house would definitely be full of water!
The water on the cement road probably reached Shi Zhen's knees, and some children walked, and it reached his thighs.
This position is not high, but Shi Zhen wants to push the freezer to the town, and it is difficult to push the freezer on a tricycle.
Even trucks with woolen sweaters can't drive in Guan Jianguo - if they are flooded, they will turn off the engine. Shi Zhen saw a motorcycle driving past their door. The person on the motorcycle could only push the motorcycle away in dejection in the end.
When the villagers saw the water, they were used to it, and the children even went straight to the road to play in the water.
Shi Zhen knew why this happened.
In the 1990s, the national water conservancy project was not as good as it was later. For example, in Anshan Town, some rivers were filled in order to repair the road.
The largest road in Anshan Town was actually a river earlier.
All these things add up... Every summer, some low-lying places in the local area will be flooded.
However, it is usually just a flood. It doesn't count as a flood, and it won't cause too much damage to them, so everyone calmed down. Shi Zhen also saw Guan Jianguo took a big net and took his daughter to fish on the cement road.
Turns out... you can really get it.
The problem of the road being flooded will not be taken seriously until a major flood occurs later, and it will be finally resolved. After two thousand years, this side has never been flooded again.
And now... Shi Zhen communicated with the sweater factory, and they decided to take away the sweaters from his side. As for the latter, they will be delivered in a few days.
In general, after a few days, the water will recede.
The most important thing is that the wool sweater factory is not in a hurry to deliver goods recently, so they don't mind taking a few days off.
Shi Zhen used a pole to carry all the finished sweaters to the town. When the truck arrived, he followed the truck to Changxi City.
He has helped process a lot of sweaters on his side, and it's time to settle the money.
The sweater factory settled Shi Zhen's wages quite easily, and the settlement amount was also very large, even 10,000 was a few hundred more.
This is definitely the most money Shi Zhen has ever gotten since he was reborn! But most of them don't belong to him.
Shi Zhen agreed with President Zhou that he would give President Zhou a one-tenth rebate after the money was obtained.
It is reasonable to give one thousand, but Shi Zhen directly gave one thousand and two: "These days, thank you for taking care of President Zhou."
Mr. Zhou is not short of money, and his monthly salary is one or two thousand, but the extra money of more than one thousand makes him very happy. He told Shi Zhen that he would send a sweater to Shi Zhen in a few days, and also said that they were around Other sweater factories also want to find people to do this, Shi Zhen can ask them to see if they can do more work.
Shi Zhen thanked him, and gave the driver who always delivered to him a hundred dollars to buy cigarettes.
After giving it like this, there are only 9,000 left, but it is still a thick stack.
When he returns to Anshan Town, he can pay "salaries" to the women in the village.
He will also have a lot of money in his own account!
