35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
With the help of his younger brother, Jiang Li, who was already efficient at work, quickly prepared a table of food.
Zhang Guocai, who had just been frightened by the pressure cooker and had finally gotten into the working state, was attracted by the waves of fragrance and could no longer work.
"Uncle, the meal is ready, come and wash your hands and eat."
Jiang Li smiled and invited his uncle to come over for dinner.
"Hey, here I come, I'm coming right away."
Zhang Guocai could no longer hold back and quickly washed his hands before coming over to eat.
Jiang Yi brought out the prepared rice, thought for a moment, and then took out the bottle of wine that Teacher Shen had brought today.
"Uncle, would you like something to drink?"
Zhang Guocai's attention had just been attracted by the food, and now he was attracted by the bottle of wine.
This is Gujing Gongjiu, one of the eight famous liquors. He had heard of this kind of liquor before. It is made from local high-quality sorghum, barley, wheat and peas to make koji, and uses old fermentation tanks. The liquor produced is as clear as crystal, as mellow as orchid, with a mellow taste, rich and moist, sticky, and lingering in the cup, with a long aftertaste.
Zhang Guocai took the wine with a smile. It said on it that the alcohol content was 55 degrees, which was neither high nor low, just right for him to drink.
"Uncle, do you want to drink again?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but persuade him, and Zhang Guocai quickly hid the wine in his arms, fearing that Jiang Li would suddenly snatch it away.
"This is good wine. Drinking a little occasionally can help you sleep. By the way, I've been worried about you lately and haven't been able to sleep all night. I've even lost a lot of hair."
Zhang Guocai rubbed his messy hair. Jiang Li glanced at him guiltily, and didn't dare to say another word because he was in the wrong.
Seeing that this method was effective, Zhang Guocai quickly went to the kitchen to get a bowl and poured himself half a bowl of wine.
Jiang Li opened his mouth and wanted him to drink less, and Zhang Guocai quickly touched his still thick hair.
He hasn't even married or had any children yet. If he becomes bald at such a young age, his life will be ruined.
Zhang Guocai ate the food made by Jiang Li while drinking the wine happily. He smacked his lips and couldn't help but sigh: "Good wine, good wine!"
Zhang Guocai had never tasted such good wine in his life. He took small sips when drinking it, for fear of drinking too much and wasting it.
Every time you take a sip, you have to keep it in your mouth for a while to savor it.
Zhang Guocai, who usually eats very quickly, took him an hour to finish this meal while drinking.
In the end, all the dishes on the table were cleared away, and half a bowl of white wine was also drunk up, and I still felt a little unsatisfied after finishing it.
"This wine is really delicious, but it's a little lacking. I only drank it once and there's only this much left. I should have drunk less if I had known."
Zhang Guocai shook his head and sighed. Jiang Li tried to persuade him but failed. He really didn't want to respond and could only go back to his room to accompany his child.
"Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, are you home?"
"Jiang Yi, come out quickly, I want to give you a haircut!"
Jiang Yi had just put down his bowl when someone called him from outside. Jiang Yi quickly went out with a small cloth bag and a small stool.
It was already dark outside. Jiang Yi turned on the flashlight and adjusted his posture to make it easier for him to work.
As soon as Jiang Yi put down the small stool, someone took the initiative to sit on it. Jiang Li skillfully took out a towel from the cloth bag and wrapped it around his neck, then took out the clippers and started working.
Jiang Yi’s best skill now is to cut flat heads, of course he can also do a simple hairstyle. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, many people have come to him on their own initiative during this period.
Everyone has to work during the day and only has free time after dinner.
Jiang Yi has to receive several customers every night, sometimes even up to ten.
The price he charges for haircuts has also increased from ten cents at the beginning to twenty cents now.
Jiang Yi has now tasted the sweetness of making money by cutting people's hair.
When I first started learning how to be a barber, I charged people one cent for a haircut and many people were unwilling to work for me.
Since his hairdressing skills have improved, and now the price has risen to 20 cents per haircut, the number of people coming to him for a haircut has not decreased but increased.
Jiang Yi looked up and saw that five or six people had arrived right after dinner. One of them looked very unfamiliar and did not look like someone from their Jiangjia Village.
Jiang Yi was about to express his doubts when someone took the initiative to explain with a smile.
"This is my friend who lives in the next village. He heard that your haircuts are cheap and good-looking, so he thought of coming here to try it."
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your help in introducing the business."
Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze and started to work. A simple crew cut plus trimming took less than 10 minutes.
"Uncle, do you think this hairstyle is okay?"
Jiang Yi handed the mirror over, and the uncle looked at himself in the mirror again and again in the dim light of the flashlight.
"Not bad, not bad. Jiang Yi is indeed a top student. He learns everything quickly. Even his barbering skills are getting better and better."
The uncle took out two crumpled dimes from his pocket and thought the haircut was worth it. His overall image improved a lot after the haircut.
After the uncle left, another person quickly sat down. It turned out that there were quite a lot of people looking for him to cut their hair.
Jiang Li was originally in the room with her child. When she heard the noise outside, she quietly opened the window.
With the help of the flashlight, I saw the skinny little brother cutting people's hair very skillfully.
Jiang Yi had only been taught a few times before, and later on he was too busy to teach him again. Jiang Yi relied on his own understanding and was able to cut hair to his current level in a short period of time. Jiang Li had to praise him for his ability.
Watching one person after another stand up and leave, Jiang Yi shaved everyone's head flat on the surface, but Jiang Li noticed that he would make subtle adjustments according to different ages.
The hair of older people will be shaved shorter and thinner, while the hair of younger people will be left a little longer. After shaving, a final trim will be performed.
Although it was just a small change, the final result made everyone very satisfied.
Jiang Li wanted to keep watching, but the babies refused to let him.
The two little guys were playing with their eyes open at first, but later they started kicking each other.
The eldest is big and the second is small. If they really fight, the second will definitely not be a match for the eldest.
The eldest child had just kicked twice when the second child started crying sadly.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Li came to her senses and quickly came to the two babies. The second baby was crying softly at first, but immediately felt very aggrieved when she saw her mother coming over.
His big red eyes and his small mouth were so flat that you could almost hang an oil bottle on it.
"You lost the fight with your brother again? You're not as big as him, so how could you beat him? In the future, you should fight less with your brother."
"And as the older brother, you have to give in to your younger brother, who is so weak. It's not easy for you two to be brothers. You must love each other and stay together forever."
Jiang Li held the two babies' hands and said expectantly.
