Volume 1 Chapter 44 Big Deal is Coming

She is not a fool who regards money as dirt. Even a fool knows that money is a good thing.

Sheng Wanyan is very active, but she knows how to balance work and rest.

After I finished translating 6 articles, I went to cook some snail noodles.

She especially likes strong-flavored foods such as stinky tofu, snail noodles, instant noodles, and hot pot.

When cooking snail noodles, you must put them in cold water and add vinegar, otherwise the noodles will not be chewy and will not have that chewy texture.

Sheng Wanyan burped, washed the dishes, brushed her teeth, and then left the space to rest.

On Sheng Wanyan's day off, Wu Jiaxiu asked her to collect firewood, even though the stove could not be used in the tube building.

But coal stoves can also use firewood, just chop it smaller and faster. After all, coal briquettes are expensive and limited.

Fortunately, I bought everything when I was shopping, for fear that I would be careless.

Otherwise, if such important supplies in life are not prepared, you will have to find a place to cry.

Sheng Wanyan took a large bunch of firewood with her and went out. When her family knew that she was going to collect firewood, they also started to take action.

However, the Sheng family knew that she had made an appointment with her colleagues, so they did not stay with them. The city is a big place.

Many people come to collect firewood at this time, after all, they have to prepare for winter.

It's going to get cold again in three months, and it would be fatal if there wasn't enough firewood at home.

Sheng Wanyan picked up 5 bundles, tied them up and put them aside. Sheng's father would come later to help her take them back.

The two men sat on the rocks to rest, their foreheads covered with sweat. Sheng Wanyan picked up his military water bottle and drank a few sips of water.

This military kettle was given to the original owner by Sheng Wanze two years ago. At that time, Sheng Xiuying knew that the original owner had a military kettle, and she tricked the original owner into giving it to her.

Fortunately, the original owner was not completely stupid. She had a bottom line and would not give away the valuable things given to her by her family.

Not to mention the things given by Sheng Wanze. She was close to Sheng Wanze when she was a child and had a sense of admiration for this brother.

Wu Jiaxiu also brought some water. She took a few sips and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Sheng Wanyan's face was red, her mouth was moist from drinking water, and her eyes were full of spirit. Wu Jiaxiu was stunned when she saw it.

She had always known that Sheng Wanyan was pretty, but now that she looked closely, she was simply amazing.

Why didn’t she realize that Sheng Wanyan was so delicate before? She looked as juicy as a peach.

With this face, won’t she be spoiled to the sky by the man after she gets married?

Wu Jiaxiu felt that if she were a man, she would definitely marry Sheng Wanyan and treat her like a ancestor.

It's a sin to ask such a beautiful woman to work.

But in this era, being too good-looking is also dangerous, as it is easy to offend people.

Especially women, when they see that you are beautiful, they are afraid that you will seduce their husbands.

After all, the situation is so tense, and if someone accuses me of a crime, I will be in big trouble.

But Sheng Wanyan is a smart person and she knows how to protect herself.

"Wanyan, is there any way you can get some meat?"

"My younger brother is getting married in two months and we are short of meat for the wedding banquet."

After hearing this, Sheng Wanyan thought for a while and said, "I have to ask your classmates for you. The quantity is too large. If you want it, I should reserve it for you in advance."

"And for something like this, the price is probably about the same as on the black market."

It is very common for slaughterhouse masters to secretly reserve meat for others at a higher price and make a profit from the difference.

As long as you do it secretly and don't let anyone find out, everyone understands the market rules.

"Can you help me order half a pig?"

It is a very respectable thing to use half a pig to set up a banquet and have a presentable meat dish on the table.

"Can I ask for you?"

"Okay, thank you so much, Wanyan."

Wu Jiaxiu really felt that she was lucky to have become a colleague of Sheng Wanyan. Every time she had troubles, Sheng Wanyan would be happy to help.

She felt that she must maintain a good relationship with Sheng Wanyan and absolutely not take advantage of her.

"We'll treat you to a meal later when my man comes to help me carry the firewood."

"Don't make excuses, you've been a great help."

When Wu Jiaxiu saw her expression, she knew Sheng Wanyan wanted to refuse. Sheng Wanyan had helped her find ways to buy things many times, so she had to thank her formally.

"Wait until this is done first."

"I will definitely not shirk my responsibility when the time comes."

"My dad will come and help me carry firewood later. I have to go home to cook."

Sheng Wanyan was not shy, and Wu Jiaxiu was her long-term client, so shouldn't she establish a good relationship with her?

"OK."

Wu Jiaxiu agreed immediately since Sheng Wanyan would be the one to attend the meal anyway.

As soon as Sheng Wanyan finished speaking, she saw Sheng's father coming to help her move firewood.

Wu Jiaxiu's husband also came. The tall and strong man carried several bundles of firewood on his back.

He was very enthusiastic in helping Sheng's father, but Sheng's father was also a strong man, working in the steel factory every day and was full of strength.

Father Sheng simply picked up four bundles on the shoulder pole and held one bundle in his other hand.

Sheng Wanyan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Sheng's father when she saw this. In this most glorious era of labor, the men were indeed strong and healthy.

Sheng Wanyan said goodbye to Wu Jiaxiu and followed her father home. As soon as she got home, she helped her mother cook.

After a busy day, the family ate their meals and went to bed early, while Sheng Wanyan went into the space to translate articles.

After the translation, I went to the warehouse, took out half a pig, put it on the scale and weighed it.

The pigs in the space were very fat, but she didn't dare take them out because they would be too conspicuous.

You have to know that in this era a pig only weighs 200-300 kilograms, if it is well raised.

She didn't dare to take out the ones that were too well-raised, so she could only choose one that was suitable for this era.

Half a pig weighs 115 kilograms. If she gave it to Wu Jiaxiu according to the black market price, it would be 172.5 yuan.

Sheng Wanyan told Wu Jiaxiu about this a few days later, and Wu Jiaxiu was delighted to hear that she had actually made a reservation for her.

My hands were shaking with excitement. That was half a pig. Now I had the preparations for my banquet.

After work, Wu Jiaxiu hurried back to her parents' home and told them about this. Her family members knew that she had used her connections to buy it.

He immediately gave her the money to settle the matter. It would be more reassuring if the matter was settled earlier. What if the master at the slaughterhouse had sold it to someone else?

Sheng Wanyan got the money. Wu Jiaxiu's parents were going to hold a wedding banquet next month, so she made an appointment with her to do the transaction at 4 a.m. on the 30th of the month at the foot of the mountain where they were collecting firewood.

Wu Jiaxiu nodded when she heard this, and took Sheng Wanyan to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal that day.

Sheng Wanyan counted her money that night and found that she now had 1,182.2 yuan.

In this day and age, thousands of dollars are unthinkable, and this is thousands of dollars!

You have to know that nowadays a pound of meat in the supply and marketing cooperative is only 80 cents. How much meat can you buy with this money?

Building a house in the countryside only costs more than 100 yuan, which is enough to build 10 rooms.

If other people knew that Sheng Wanyan's family was so wealthy, they would definitely scramble to marry her.
