After returning to the Lu family, Jiang Manyue did not bring any seasonings. She just wrote a note to Li Guifen, saying that she and Jun'an would have lunch at the Jiang family at noon, and asked the old couple to make their own meal and not wait for them.
After writing the note, Jiang Manyue went around the team again and found the Jiang brothers and Lu Junan who were playing together. She asked them to go home for lunch together at noon, and then returned to the Jiang family.
It was almost time, but Miao Xianghua was still reluctant to let Jiang Manyue make the rabbit, for fear that she would accidentally ruin the whole rabbit.
Jiang Manyue repeatedly assured her and insisted on cooking by herself, so Miao Xianghua had no choice but to agree to her.
However, what Miao Xianghua didn't expect was that Jiang Manyue's cooking skills were even better than hers. The rabbit meat she made was not only fragrant, but also tasted particularly delicious.
At the dinner table, the whole family praised the delicious rabbit meat. Jiang's father and sons didn't know that the rabbit meat was made by Jiang Manyue. They also said that Miao Xianghua's cooking skills had improved a lot and the rabbit meat was particularly delicious.
"I didn't do this, it was Man Yue who did it. If you ask me, Man Yue is really good. I taught her a few times, and she figured it out on her own and did it better than me."
Miao Xianghua said with a look of regret, "If only my family had connections in the city, it would be great. With Man Yue's cooking skills, if she could work as a canteen chef in a factory, wouldn't that be a serious job, a stable job!"
Jiang's brothers and sisters-in-law also agreed. With Jiang Manyue's cooking skills, she was definitely qualified to be a chef in a factory, let alone a state-owned restaurant.
Jiang Manyue shook her head and said, "What's the point of being a canteen chef? If we can open a restaurant, wouldn't it make more money than being a chef?"
Miao Xianghua glanced at her in disapproval. "You're really imaginative. You're even thinking of opening a restaurant? Aren't all restaurants state-owned? How can a family of ordinary people like us open a restaurant?"
While gnawing on rabbit meat, Jiang Manyue calmly revealed the future situation to the Jiang family, "Can the restaurant be state-owned forever? There will always be a time when ordinary people can do business. When that time comes, our family will open a restaurant. With Mom's cooking skills, making money will definitely not be a problem."
Jiang Manyue was not just talking nonsense. She had really considered that after the market opened up, she would help the Jiang family open a shop and do business, so that the Jiang family could truly become wealthy.
"Also, my second and third sisters-in-law are such great tailors. If we get the chance to open a shop in the future, we can open one specializing in beautiful bras and coats. Business will definitely be booming!"
When the second sister-in-law Zhao Yanling and the third sister-in-law Zhang Chunhong heard that there was something about them, their eyes widened.
"What? Chunhong and I are opening a tailor shop?"
Second sister-in-law Zhao Yanling didn't dare to think about this at all. In her mind, no matter what business it was, it was state-owned, so how could it be their turn to do it?
But when the third sister-in-law Zhang Chunhong heard these words, she felt a little moved.
Although people are not allowed to do business now, what if they are allowed to do so in the future?
If they could start their own business in the future, she and her second sister-in-law both have tailoring skills, and maybe they could really support their family with this.
"Even if I'm allowed to start a business in the future, wouldn't I need a sewing machine to open a tailor shop? Wouldn't I need a shop? We don't have the money for that."
Third brother Jiang Jianqing poured a basin of cold water on her, making third sister-in-law Zhang Chunhong's eyes dim instantly.
She also went to the city to look, and found that a sewing machine cost 150 yuan and required a plane ticket, which was unaffordable for a rural family.
Not to mention the one hundred and fifty dollars, they had no place to find the sewing plane ticket.
"We have a good life now. As long as we work, we have food to eat. Stop thinking about those irrelevant things. Working hard and earning work points is the most important thing!"
Seeing that they were talking more and more irrelevantly, Jiang's father Jiang Changfu slammed the table and told them to stop thinking about these irrelevant things and focus on their work. If people knew about it, they would say that their family had improper thoughts and they would be criticized by the team leader.
Seeing that Jiang's father had spoken, the Jiang family members didn't dare to talk about business anymore, and Jiang Manyue didn't mention it anymore. Anyway, it was still early before the opening time, so there was no point in saying too much.
The family finished their meal quietly, and Jiang Manyue took Jun'an home.

The next morning, Lu Lin, who had returned to the army, sent a telegram to his family to report that he was safe. Jiang Manyue didn't care at first, but Li Guifen asked her to write to Lu Lin and talk to him more.
Jiang Manyue thought about it and realized that she and Lu Lin were now in a cooperative relationship and she was still receiving compensation from Lu Lin. It seemed reasonable for her to write a letter every now and then to tell about the latest situation at home.
"Okay, Mom, I'll write to Lu Lin in a few days and tell him about the situation at home. I'll ask him to work hard in the army and not worry about home."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Li Guifen felt that she must miss Lu Lin too. She was very happy, as if she could see her little grandson waving at her.
In order to prevent herself from forgetting, Jiang Manyue specially marked the calendar and folded one of the pages in half to remind herself to write a letter to Lu Lin when the date came.
Looking at the calendar, Jiang Manyue remembered that it had been three days since the last transaction, and the next batch of canned meat promised to Zhou Laosan had not been unpacked yet.
For the next two or three days, Jiang Manyue was busy traveling back and forth between the county town and home to unpack the canned meat.
After the canned meat was ready, Jiang Manyue waited for a few days before going to the black market again.
Because the quantity of canned meat this time is relatively large, Jiang Manyue is afraid that if she supplies the goods too quickly, others will doubt her source of goods.
However, Zhou Laosan was waiting for her impatiently. When he saw Jiang Manyue, he didn't care about the canned meat and asked her if she could get a men's Dacron shirt.
Dacron is actually polyester. Jiang Manyue thought about it and realized that there are many polyester shirts in the supermarket, which can just meet Zhou Laosan's needs.
However, seeing how anxious Zhou Laosan was, it was probably an urgent order. Jiang Manyue started to make some calculations in her mind, wondering if she could make more money this time.
"I do have a source of Dacron shirts, but the route over there is difficult to navigate, so I need to buy in larger quantities. How many do you want, Third Brother? If it's a lot, I'll go over there. If it's a little, I might not be able to get enough."
When Zhou Laosan heard that she had a supply of goods, he was overjoyed and immediately said, "Five hundred pieces. If that's not enough, seven or eight will do!"
Hundreds of Dacron shirts are indeed not a small deal. Jiang Manyue was very satisfied and asked about the price again.
"Third brother, this quantity is enough, but I don't know how much you can offer?"
Zhou Laosan stretched out his hand and gestured to Jiang Manyue, "This is the most I can give you."
Jiang Manyue saw that he gestured that the item should be ten yuan each, so after thinking about it, she agreed.
Seeing her nod, Zhou Laosan was so excited that he thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Sister Anran. To be honest, this deal was made by your brother when I was drunk. If it weren't for you, sister, I would be in trouble this time."
Jiang Manyue smiled at him and said, "Third brother, don't be busy thanking me. I still have something I want to ask for your help."
Zhou Laosan immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Sister Anran, if you have any problems, just tell me, your third brother will definitely help!"
