Chapter 25 The First Step in Starting a Business
With meat coupons, you can buy meat openly without having to go through "black channels" and waste money.
Pig fat was 85 cents a pound. Su Tang bought five pounds at once, plus two sets of pig pancreas, spending 4.75 yuan.
Mu Jingzhou paid for everything.
She wanted to pay for it herself, but Mu Jingzhou was unhappy: "How can you let a woman pay when you go out with a man?"
Okay, you pay if you are right, and I save money.
Mu Jingzhou's eyes sparkled as he watched her buy things, and his little face seemed to be shining. The urge to spend money on a woman reached its peak at this moment.
"Just buy whatever you need."
So, Su Tang bought two half-pound portions of white sugar and two portions of fruit candies.
"Why do we have to separate?" Mu Jingzhou was puzzled.
"Give one to my second sister-in-law."
Su Tang said as a matter of course, but Mu Jingzhou frowned.
It's not that he was reluctant to give it, but he felt that his wife was too good to his second sister-in-law. She always thought of giving something to his second sister-in-law, why didn't she think of him?
Could it be that he goes out to work every day and spends too little time with his wife?
The two passed by a clothing store and saw a dress with a white background and green flowers.
Su Tang liked it very much and couldn't help but stop and look at it.
This pattern and style stand out among the all-Dacron shirts.
"Like?" Mu Jingzhou asked.
"Um."
Su Tang's eyes were almost popping out.
A dress from the 1980s paired with big wavy hair, so charming!
Mu Jingzhou walked into the store without hesitation and asked the price.
"This is the same style as the celebrities in the big cities, twenty-eight yuan..."
What a high price! How much pig fat can this skirt buy?
Su Tangguo pulled Mu Jingzhou out without hesitation: "Brother San, don't look at it. We can't afford it..."
"You can buy it." Although Mu Jingzhou was a little hesitant, he did not back down.
After buying this skirt, he was out of money. But his wife likes it!
Besides, my wife has fair skin and a good figure, she looks so good in this skirt...
Mu Jingzhou's thoughts became uncontrollably distorted, and his gaze towards Su Tang gradually became hot.
The tips of Su Tang's ears turned red.
I hate myself so much, why should I be a girl who understands people instantly?
"Third brother, I don't like you very much either. Let's go!" Su Tang pulled Mu Jingzhou away.
I thought to myself: Turns out he is a person who doesn't know how to spend money, no wonder he was squeezed dry by Shen Mingzhu in the drama!
Mu Jingzhou was an honest man, so he gave up when he heard she said she didn't like it.
Pork fat and pig pancreas were hung on the handlebars of the bicycle, and the candies were put into a cloth bag that Su Tang held.
When returning the bicycle, Gao Ming was shocked: "Old Third, why did you buy so much pork fat?"
"Um."
"Tsk, this will last until the New Year, right?"
Gao Ming, the team leader, was also very envious, but Mu Jingzhou did not explain.
As usual, Su Tang left a handful of fruit candies for Gao Ming's children.
Mu Jingzhou glanced at her and said, "You are quite capable."
"Forget about the ways of the world!" Su Tang pouted her red lips, "Third brother, I am still very smart."
Mu Jingzhou's Adam's apple slid twice.
Her lips were naturally red, like those of a city girl who put on lipstick. After being kissed, they were moist and even more radiant.
Mu Jingzhou felt ashamed of himself for having lustful desires in broad daylight.
From now on, you should go to work during the day. Staying with your wife for a long time is not good for your morality.
When I got home, Li Lan was sweeping the yard.
When he saw the pig fat in Mu Jingzhou's hand, his eyes lit up.
"Hey, third brother, why did you buy so much pork fat? Put it in the kitchen quickly. I'll wash my hands and cut it."
How much lard can be produced from such a large piece of pig fat, and how much lard residue will be produced?
Li Lan thinks it’s beautiful.
But Mu Jingzhou said, "No need, sister-in-law, you take care of your business, my wife will take care of it."
"Oh, how can my third sister-in-law know these? Let me do it."
With food to eat, Li Lan no longer disliked Su Tang's laziness, and even began to dote on her a little.
"Sister-in-law, this is what I use to make soap. You don't know how to fix it." Su Tang said crisply.
Li Lan was struck by lightning: "This, this is not food?"
"No!"
"You really want to make soap?"
"Yes!"
"Nonsense! How can such good pig fat be used to make soap?" Li Lan couldn't imagine that the oil in her mouth would be wasted. Her heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached and she frowned and scolded.
"Sister-in-law, you don't understand. Just watch!"
Su Tang put the cloth bag containing white sugar and fruit candy back into the house and came out to clean the pig pancreas.
All the fascia on top had to be picked out cleanly. She had learned this job in the handicraft class, but... she was clumsy.
Mu Jingzhou couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took over and did it for her.
Yu Miaomiao also came out and went to the kitchen to help cut the pork fat and put it into the pot while cutting.
While Su Tang was making a fire, she was also roasting the clam shells that Mu Jingzhou had picked up from the river.
There were only four of them in the family. Three of them divided the work in an orderly manner, and only Li Lan stood there with her eyes wide open.
Feeling the pain of being excluded again...
"Third brother, do you really want to waste all this pig fat?" Li Lan couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question again.
"Sister-in-law, I bought this with my own money. It has nothing to do with the public." Mu Jingzhou usually likes to have a cold face, and he seems even more unkind when he speaks with emotion.
Li Lan was embarrassed.
Soon, the pork fat began to produce oil, and the whole house was filled with the aroma of lard.
Just smelling it makes me satisfied!
Old Lady Gao from next door climbed up the wall again: "Li Lan, what is making such a nice smell in your house in the middle of the day? Are you refining oil?"
"Yes, yes, the third brother is making lard." Li Lan answered loudly.
She thought about it and felt that they were not making soap at all. Did the second and third sons think of it and wanted to have it all to themselves? Absolutely not!
Everyone who sees anything in this house can get a share!
"It smells so good! The third brother is so generous and always spends his own money to feed everyone. Li Lan, before you got married, you were worried that there wouldn't be enough food for their large family. Now you realize the benefits of having a brother-in-law, right?" Old Mrs. Gao smiled gloomily.
Li Lan was frowning and turned away, no longer paying attention to Old Lady Gao.
Old Lady Gao lay on the wall, sniffing the aroma of the oil with great satisfaction: "Even if I can't eat it, it's good to smell it."
After Mu Jingzhou finished processing the pig pancreas, he didn't know what to do next, so he asked loudly: "Wife, it's done."
"Come on!"
Su Tang sent the pig pancreas to the kitchen for Yu Miaomiao, and handed him the freshly cooked clam shells: "Pound them into powder, and sieve the coarse ones."
"good."
Mu Jingzhou continued to work.
Old Mrs. Gao was shocked: "How can a woman order a man to do something?"
"My man is so good! Why is it that, Aunt Gao, all the work in your family is done by women?" Su Tang asked with a smile.
Old Lady Gao said, "Of course! Men's strength should be saved to earn work points."
"Maybe the men in your family are not strong enough. My third brother is full of energy and loves to work."
Mu Jingzhou raised the corners of his lips and tinkered even harder.
Old Lady Gao sneered: "You are lazy, but you still say it so nicely!"
"A kind word can warm you through the winter, but an evil word can hurt you through the summer. Don't you understand this, Aunt Gao?"
"I also know that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease!"
"There are sweet medicines too. Aunt Gao, if you haven't tried them, don't worry about it! Worrying too much will make you old faster. It's even more not worth worrying about other people. You might as well take a few more breaths and smell the aroma of my oil."
Su Tang kept talking and smiling, and she made Old Mrs. Gao speechless.
Rather than winning the argument over Su Tang, she wanted to smell the aroma of the oil more.
It is indeed very fragrant. It would be even more perfect if I could have two pieces of lard residue to satisfy my craving...
