Chapter 66 Delicious Return

In 1985, one thousand yuan was quite valuable.

In the village, you can even build a large four-room tiled house. Even in the county, if you look carefully, a thousand yuan is enough to buy a small house!

It’s almost the annual salary of someone with a proper job in the county, and you can’t even earn that much in the village.

But refrigerators are so expensive. Not only refrigerators, but also telephones, pagers, mobile phones, and cars are all very expensive!

The higher the technological content, the more expensive the item.

Shen Qingyue also thought it was too expensive, but there was nothing she could do. She cooked, and a large freezer was a necessity for her.

Now that I have the spicy hot pot steamed bun business, I can make a net profit of 1,500 yuan by selling 10,000 spicy hot pot steamed buns a day. It's worth buying a larger freezer.

Shen Qingyue is not the kind of person who wastes time and energy, so once she has made a decision, she asks Xiao Liu to find a solution.

She knew this was a big ask. After some thought, she said, "I need two 600-liter freezers. I'd like to spend a thousand on them. After I get the job done, I'll give you two hundred yuan as a reward."

Xiao Liu has to spend money to go out and take care of things.

When Xiao Liu heard this, he said, "I'll try my best. It doesn't necessarily have to succeed."

With Xiao Liu's words, Shen Qingyue felt relieved.

Shen Qingyue asked the ox cart to follow, Xiao Liu, and went directly to the pig intestines that had been weighed to pay first, and tomorrow we will officially resume boxed lunches!

Braised pork intestines is definitely Shen Qingyue's signature dish. Not to mention the people at the steel factory, even the people in the village can't forget Shen Qingyue's braised pork intestines!

The pig intestines that have been out of stock for so long are finally available, and we have to make some arrangements.

After happily paying for the sausage, there were only about 600 yuan left. Shen Qingyue couldn't help spending this little money.

He said to Xiao Liu, "There's another difficult thing. The money for the freezer has to arrive at the end of the month, and I'm collecting meal tickets now. They have to be exchanged for money at the end of the month!" There are still more than ten days left.

Xiao Liu's recycling station also has a similar system. He wants to know how it works and says, "I trust you."

When Xiao Liu returned to the recycling station, he took the initiative to find the deputy station manager's office.

The deputy stationmaster was drinking tea: "Come in."

Xiao Liu pushed the door open and walked in.

The deputy stationmaster nearly spit out his tea. He quickly looked behind Xiao Liu and saw that no one was following him. Then he quickly told Xiao Liu to close the door tightly!

Xiao Liu said, "Second Uncle, I have something to ask."

The deputy station chief said with a fierce face, "Didn't we agree that you should call me deputy station chief at work?" After that, his tone softened a little and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Liu said, "Uncle, this is what happened." He felt something was not right and added, "Deputy Station Master..."

After listening to him, the deputy stationmaster said, "Our 600-liter freezer costs 1,500 yuan. It's only been used for less than a year. And you're willing to pay it for 1,000 yuan? You're young... you're just young."

The deputy station chief said, "My buddy from the slaughterhouse wants to buy it for twelve thousand. He's been begging me for a long time, but I haven't relented."

Xiao Liu was a little embarrassed: "Second Uncle."

The deputy station chief squinted at him and asked, "What's going on? Is he your friend?"

I even went to him specifically for this matter. Since my nephew asked for it, I had to give him this favor.

The deputy stationmaster said, "Alright, it's just two freezers. I'm telling you, this won't happen again."

Xiao Liu said, "The remaining money will arrive at the end of the month." Two thousand is not a small amount for anyone.

The deputy stationmaster waved his hand in understanding.

Then he laughed: "How much money did your friend promise you? Why are you working so hard?"

Xiao Liu said, "I'll give you two hundred after the job is done."

The deputy webmaster calculated that it would be 1,110 yuan per unit, which was not bad and not too much of a loss.

The deputy stationmaster said, "Just take your two hundred, and you have to bring me the remaining two thousand."

When Xiao Liu heard that the deal was done, he smiled and said, "Okay, now what about the stationmaster? How do you come up with an excuse to get away with it?"

The deputy stationmaster said, "What excuses are you making? I'll just have them report it as scrapped and shipped out."

"Uncle, is it okay? This is a new machine and people may not believe it." Xiao Liu said.

The deputy stationmaster said, "So I'm asking you for two thousand. I'm putting my entire future on the line. Think twice before you make a promise next time!"

Xiao Liu stopped talking.

The deputy stationmaster said with a stern face, "Come to your uncle's house for dinner if you have time these days. Your brother misses you."

"Well, I'm sorry I'm not here to keep you waiting." This is to prevent anyone from noticing the relationship between the two.

"That bastard." The deputy stationmaster continued to drink his teacup, not taking it seriously at all.

Two freezers were shipped out that day, one was sent to the kitchen of the steel plant canteen, and the other was sent by Shen Qingyue to her home in the countryside.

Xiao Liu had done a lot this time. Shen Qingyue also remembered this favor!

Xiao Liu said, "From now on, if you need to buy something, don't ask others for help. I'm sure it's good quality and cheap."

After the two freezers are put in place, this relationship must be firmly established.

Shen Qingyue said: "Okay."

When Shen Qingyue returned home, everyone in the village said that they had never seen such a big freezer.

I heard that this thing is more valuable than a house, so I only dared to look at it from afar and didn't dare to touch it at all.

"Second sister." Chen Pandi called out crisply.

Aunt Yun, who was nearby, said, "This child has been working non-stop since he came back. He's like a little top, he can't sit still at all."

Shen Qingyue asked, "How was the class?"

"That's great. I can understand everything." Shen Pandi said, "What do I do?" She was eagerly waiting for Shen Qingyue to assign her a task.

Shen Qingyue said: "Then let's wash the pig intestines." There are so many pig intestines, everyone should join in washing them.

It has to be washed at least three times, and Shen Qingyue has to turn it over to check. If there is no problem, rinse it with water for the last time before putting it into the pot.

"Okay." Chen Pandi wasn't afraid of having work, but she was afraid of not having any. Now that she had been assigned a task, she worked very hard. After all, young people have energy.

Chen Mei was worried the whole time. When there was no one around Shen Qingyue, she said, "Let's just make lunch boxes tomorrow. I hope everyone won't rebel." After all, the popularity of Malatang is obvious to all.

Shen Qingyue said: "Don't worry about that. It's not like we don't sell spicy hot pot. We sell raw buns."

Chen Mei was somewhat envious of Shen Qingyue, who always had an idea in mind. Seeing that Shen Qingyue had already thought of a solution, she stopped worrying.

Chen Mei and the others hadn't finished their work until 11 o'clock, so they sent the others back to sleep.

Shen Pandi has actually persisted with them until now.

When Shen Pandi returned home, it was already 11 o'clock, and the Shen family's old house was still brightly lit.

Wait until Shen Pandi quietly returns home.

As soon as I locked the door, my second aunt said, "Come inside and talk."

When Chen Pandi entered the house, it was like a three-court trial. Her grandparents were not asleep yet, and her second uncle, second aunt, and her parents were all in the room!

As soon as Shen Pandi entered, Liu Yu exploded: "This Shen Qingyue really treats my daughter like a nobody. It's so late to send her back, and she's wasting eight dollars."

Shen Pandi looked at her and felt it was ironic. When they worked for the family before, her mother had never been so caring!

Zeng Juhua said, "Come, third brother, tell your second aunt how Shen Qingyue ordered you around." She was the most amiable.

I just want to know Shen Qingyue's secret of making money through Shen Pandi.

Chen Pandi looked at everyone one by one and was disgusted by their expressions. She had clearly promised them eight dollars, but they were still greedy.

As the most opinionated person in the Third House, how could Chen Pandi easily give in? She pretended to be ignorant and said, "I don't know."

Zeng Juhua asked, "So what did you do today?"

Chen Pandi said: "My second sister sent me to school, to junior high school. She asked me to work for her after I graduated from junior high school."

Everyone in the Shen family's old house was dumbfounded: "What?" Sending her to school, what kind of approach is this?

"Then let me ask you, why did you come back so late?" Liu Yu asked.

Chen Pandi said, "I have to work after school, otherwise how can I earn that eight dollars?"

Everyone present thought they could find out Shen Qingyue's secret to making money, but they didn't expect to get such an answer.

Grandma Xu Xiuzhi was bored: "Okay, go to sleep."

As soon as Shen Pandi left, Xu Xiuzhi called her back: "When the money is distributed, you must give it to me first, otherwise I will go to Shen Qingyue to make trouble."

Chen Pandi said: "Yes, I know!"

As soon as Shen Pandi left.

The people in the old house didn't leave. Liu Yu just felt that his brain was not enough: "Second sister-in-law, you are smarter than me. Why do you think Shen Qingyue sent the third child to school?"

"Why? He was on guard against us. He knew we were going to ask, so he made the decision in advance. Shen Qingyue is really vicious."

Zeng Juhua snorted again, "Maybe she's waiting for us to find her so she can ask us for the third child's tuition."

Liu Yu was startled: "Fortunately I didn't go looking for it."

Xu Xiuzhi's ideas were completely dashed and she was extremely disappointed.

Liu Yu asked, "Then should we let the third brother go?"

Xu Xiuzhi said, "Go, of course you can go. It pays eight dollars a month."

No one heard any useful information, so they just dispersed.

Chen Pandi didn't sleep at all. Only when her parents came back did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She was obviously very tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep. Since her second sister asked her to study hard, she had to do well to repay her.

Late at night, Shen Pandi swore to the moonlight.

…

It was pitch black outside, but lights were lighting up one after another in the village. "What time is it?"

"It's only four in the morning. It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."

"I can't sleep. Smell it. What's that sweet smell?"

"Is it Shen Qingyue's braised pork intestines?"

"Ouch." He put on his clothes and went out of the yard. The fragrance in the yard was even stronger. He quickly searched the box for money: "I missed it last time, this time I have to buy some to try."

On the way to the village chief's house, I unexpectedly ran into several people. They all knew what the other person was going to do just by looking at each other. They all laughed.

"I'm quite greedy."

"Aren't you too?"

We went to the village chief's house together. It was still dark, but half of the village was awakened by the fragrance.
