After eating shredded pork noodles, Zhou Ziwen came out of the state-owned restaurant with satisfaction.
After touching the money in his pocket, Zhou Ziwen felt better.
He didn't expect that this old turtle was sold for two hundred and fifty yuan. Such a large sum of money was enough for him and his two sisters to live for a long time.
"What a pleasant surprise!"
Zhou Ziwen patted his pockets, but he wanted to spend some money in his heart.
Speaking of which, the only thing missing from his family's three-turn and one-ring machine is a sewing machine.
It just so happened that Chen Qiaoyi was also pregnant. There would definitely be a lot of baby clothes in the future, and it would not be cost-effective to spend money to buy them. It would be better to make them herself.
He did not forget that Chen Shiying also had a pair of skillful hands.
But you need a ticket to buy a sewing machine, which is not easy to get.
"How about going to the black market?"
On the way home, Zhou Ziwen thought of a solution.
In this day and age, you need a ticket to buy anything. Even if you have money, you can't buy everything.
…
"No tickets?"
"If you don't have a ticket, come to me!"
After returning to the village, Zhou Ziwen found Wu Dagang.
He originally wanted to ask where the black market was, but when he heard that Zhou Ziwen wanted to buy a sewing machine, Wu Dagang patted his chest.
"Uncle Wu, do you have any tickets?"
Zhou Ziwen asked in surprise.
"I don't have any, and this thing isn't food or drink, so what am I going to do with it?"
Wu Dagang shook his head.
"Then why are you saying this?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen was a little disappointed.
"Although I don't have it, there are people who do. Don't worry, I'll go get it for you tomorrow."
Wu Dagang said with confidence.
"Anyone have?"
Zhou Ziwen was a little confused.
"Are you stupid?" Wu Dagang shook his head and began to explain, "This time, the mushroom cultivation base has grown a bumper crop of mushrooms. The commune has made a lot of money. This is all thanks to you. It just so happens that the commune hasn't rewarded you yet. Tomorrow I'll go see President Fu. He's sure to have some tickets."
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
Zhou Ziwen was a little hesitant, but he agreed in his heart.
Just as Wu Dagang said, he grew mushrooms and the commune made money. Especially the leaders, with this opportunity, there may be a possibility of further development.
Aren’t all these his achievements?
"What's wrong with this? Don't worry, I'll talk to President Fu and he will definitely get one for you." Wu Dagang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Zhou Ziwen was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Why thank me? We're all family." Wu Dagang waved his hand and patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder. "You've done a great deed this time, kid. I haven't even had time to thank you yet!"
"Uncle Wu, please stop making fun of me." Zhou Ziwen shook his head, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
After chatting with Wu Dagang for a while, Zhou Ziwen went home.
It was still early and the two sisters had not yet finished work.
After arriving home, Zhou Ziwen was not idle. He first went to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing that there were enough ingredients, he planned to make something delicious for the two sisters in the evening.
Thinking that Chen Qiaoyi is pregnant, Zhou Ziwen decided to make some chicken soup.
He remembered that there seemed to be a few old hens in the backyard, two of which rarely laid eggs, so they could be used to make soup.
So he went to the backyard, caught an old hen, and started processing it.
After preparing the hen, Zhou Ziwen began to prepare the soup.
He first put some water in the pot, then added ginger slices, green onion segments and cooking wine. After boiling over high heat, he put the processed hen into the pot.
Then, he turned to low heat and simmered it slowly, allowing the delicious flavor of the chicken to fully emerge.
While the soup was cooking, Zhou Ziwen wasn't idle either. He used this time to prepare other ingredients. He cut up some carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms, all grown in the fields, fresh and healthy.
When the chicken soup was almost done, he put the ingredients into the pot, added some nourishing herbs, and continued to stew.
After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.
Zhou Ziwen sniffed it and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that this pot of chicken soup would surely make the two sisters rave about it.
After stewing the chicken soup, Zhou Ziwen made some side dishes.
He uses his culinary skills to transform simple ingredients into delicious dishes.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhou Ziwen felt a sense of accomplishment.
Just then, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi came back.
As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of food and immediately felt hungry.
"Brother Ziwen, what delicious food did you make?" Chen Qiaoyi asked excitedly.
"I stewed chicken soup and made some side dishes." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but praise.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi washed their hands, then sat at the table and began to enjoy this delicious dinner.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen took out the money he earned from selling the old turtle today.
"Sister, Yiyi, I sold the old turtle at home." Seeing their surprised expressions, Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"So much? Brother Ziwen, how much is this?"
The two sisters were stunned to see so much money.
"It sold for exactly 250 yuan." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"How can there be so much? That old turtle is so valuable?" Chen Qiaoyi took the money in her hand and counted it several times, but she still couldn't believe it.
You know, in this day and age, the average worker's monthly salary is only about 20 yuan, so 250 yuan is a huge sum of money!
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to sell so much." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
He didn't expect that he was so lucky that he met Manager Li, a sucker.
"Oh, did we eat hundreds of them before?"
Suddenly, Chen Qiaoyi screamed, her voice full of regret.
She still remembered that Zhou Ziwen had caught an old turtle a few days ago, and that old turtle was even bigger than this one.
If you sell it, it will fetch hundreds of dollars!
Just thinking about it made Chen Qiaoyi so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
"Okay, don't be sad. It's just an old turtle. Just eat it. With your man's ability, he can get you a whole flock of turtles, not just one."
Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head amusedly.
I didn't expect this girl to be so obsessed with money.
"This is hundreds of dollars! If I had known it was so valuable, I wouldn't have eaten it."
Chen Qiaoyi was still a little unwilling.
A few hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. Even when she and her sister first went to the countryside, they only had two or three hundred yuan on them.
Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Qiaoyi's regretful expression and felt a little emotional.
"Okay, don't regret it. I have good news for you. We are going to have a sewing machine at home."
Zhou Ziwen held his wife's hand and began to change the subject.
"Sewing machine?" Chen Qiaoyi's eyes widened when she heard that.
Chen Shiying on the side also looked over, her eyes full of inquiry.
"Yes, Yiyi is pregnant, and the baby is growing fast. We will definitely have to make a lot of pairs for the baby in the future. It would be more convenient to have a sewing machine."
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"But don't you need a ticket to buy a sewing machine?"
Chen Shiying asked hesitantly.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi had no objection to Zhou Ziwen's plan to buy a sewing machine.
In their family, Zhou Ziwen has always been the one in charge.
However, they will unconditionally support Zhou Ziwen in whatever he wants to do.
"Don't worry about the tickets. Uncle Wu said he would help me." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Great! We'll have a sewing machine at home from now on!" Chen Qiaoyi jumped up with joy when she heard this. (End of this chapter)
