Chapter 61
Zhang Qiaohong was still in shock and felt as if this college student had fallen from the sky.
"Mom, is this a mistake? Is it possible that Meng Zhaodi could get into college with her brain?"
Mrs. Meng said to her, "You are good in everything except that you are too partial. It's not enough that you usually ignore Zhaodi, but you also complain about her every day. You even praise Lai Di for being so lazy, so why can't you tolerate Zhaodi?"
"I'm not telling the truth..." Zhang Qiaohong felt a little guilty. She loved her eldest daughter very much after she was born, but when the second, third and fourth children came, she was no longer so fond of her eldest daughter. "All five of her fingers are long and short. I didn't abuse her."
"Five fingers have different lengths, but the girl is grown up now, so you can't be too obvious about your partiality. If you really hurt her feelings, it will be too late for you to regret it."
There was a neighbor of Meng Dasao's family who was like this. After she became rich, she never returned to her parents' home. Her mother scolded her for being unfilial all day long and said that she had raised such an ungrateful person like her in vain. But the neighbors all knew that she was deeply hurt by her own mother.
Mrs. Meng felt that Zhang Qiaohong was not smart enough.
Zhang Qiaohong felt a little guilty about what her mother-in-law said. "Mom, what can Zhaodi do after he graduates from this school? I heard that it's useless to study there, and he will just be a laborer for others after he graduates."
"Bah! Your aunt said that this major is about dealing with machines, similar to being an engineer. You can get a job directly after graduation. It's a stable job!"
Zhang Qiaohong had never expected that this college was so good, and she was very happy for a moment.
Meng Dazhu was not as patriarchal as she was. He also loved his daughter, but as she grew up, the two of them talked less. When he found his daughter, a smile appeared on his honest face, "My daughter."
Meng Zhaodi was packing up her things. "Dad!"
Meng Dazhu smiled. The young lady would go to report after the new year. He knew his wife's temper. She was very patriarchal and she would probably not give any money to the young lady.
Meng Dazhui stuffed thirty yuan into Meng Zhaodi's pocket. Meng Zhaodi felt that the money was a bit hot and wanted to give it to her father.
"Take it, go buy some girl stuff and two sets of clothes. If it's not enough, tell Dad."
"My aunt made clothes for me, and my school also provides subsidies, so I don't need that much money."
Meng Dazhu felt a little sad. His wife favored boys over girls, but his daughter was so well-behaved and sensible. He had already asked people about it. Although the school would subsidize some living expenses, the family also had to pay. The expenses in big cities were high, and thirty yuan was not enough for two months.
"Dad remembers that your socks have been patched several times, and there is a hole on the butt of your woolen trousers. Your clothes are too worn out. If your classmates see them while you are washing them, they will laugh at you. Go buy what you want, and don't let your classmates look down on you."
Meng Zhaodi no longer cares about these details. She smiled calmly:
"I went there to learn, not to compete for beauty. If you want to laugh at me, then laugh at me. I don't care."
Meng Dazhu thought that his daughter was really nice.
The next day, Mrs. Meng came to Zhen Zhen to have a heart-to-heart talk, saying that Meng Zhaodi was able to go to college thanks to her aunt's help. She also said that the two college students in the Meng family were all due to her.
Now she can be considered to have worked hard and made great contributions. After Zhaodi gets a job, she asks him to be filial to her and support her in her old age.
Zhen Zhen just listened to these words. No matter how good her aunt was, she was not as good as her biological mother and grandmother. She helped Meng Zhaodi only because she saw that Meng Zhaodi was down-to-earth and capable.
Meng Zhaodi has been in the Meng family for more than a year. She has been feeding the pigs, cooking, sweeping the floor, and washing clothes at home. Zhen Zhen did not pay her a salary, but just gave her a little reward, which is what she deserves.
Old Lady Meng asked about Cheng Su again, "According to the situation, the matter of returning to the city will be settled soon. This girl has lived in your house for quite a while, so you should not be reluctant to let her go."
Zhen Zhen was reluctant to part with Cheng Su, but there was nothing he could do, as one has to learn to say goodbye in life.
Besides, Cheng Su was going to college to be Meng Hua's junior sister, Zhen Zhen was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.
Now, thanks to Zhen Zhen's dietary supplements, Cheng Su is no longer sickly, but instead has a kind of beauty with vigorous energy and blood.
She no longer had any attachment to Pan Dongming. After all, there was nothing good about that kind of man. He loved Yin Xue to death, and after his reformation, he started to pester Cheng Su again. It was thanks to Cheng Su that she ignored him and did not go crazy with him.
Look, Cheng Su was admitted to Peking University, but Pan Dongming failed. However, Pan Dongming's family was well-off and his family had already paved the way for him, so it was easy for him to return to the city.
Zhen Zhen stayed with Cheng Su for the New Year and prepared a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and fruit platters. She also specially made Cheng Su's favorite lamb hotpot.
Cheng Su was very satisfied with the meal. Zhen Zhen also packed a bag of candied dates, spiced peanuts, roasted chestnuts and roasted melon seeds for her to take on the journey, and even sent her to the train station.
Cheng Su felt a little jealous when she saw this, and she hugged Zhen Zhen and acted coquettishly.
"Aunt Zhen, I can't bear to leave you and Batou Village."
This is her youth, and she will never forget everything here.
Zhen Zhen patted her shoulder. After she entered the book, she watched Cheng Su grow from a sadistic heroine to a mature woman. She was also very moved. Moreover, Cheng Su had lived and ate with her for two years. "Auntie Zhen couldn't bear to leave you either."
"Auntie Zhen, I will come back to see you." Cheng Su said this and left.
Zhen Zhen was quite calm, but she felt a little uncomfortable looking at the empty room at night.
Meng Zhaodi and Qian Ziyi went with Cheng Su.
This time, only three people from Batou Village passed the exam. After those who failed cried bitterly, they found that these three people had one thing in common, that is, they all sought guidance from Aunt Zhen!
They were not stupid. After realizing this, they swarmed in and blocked the way to Zhen Zhen's house.
Zhen Zhen didn't agree and directly asked Meng Daguo to send the man away.
She is not stupid, and teaching them is a thankless task.
First of all, she doesn't need that little bit of money, so there's no need to tire herself out.
Secondly, some of the educated youth had already married villagers. If she really sent them to college, and later they abandoned their partners and returned to the city, the villagers would inevitably blame her.
After Cheng Su left, time passed quickly. The year 1978 passed very uneventfully, except for the announcement of the opening at the end of the year, which left the villagers a little confused.
They were suppressed so much in the past few years, fighting this and that, why are they suddenly letting go?
Policies are not fixed and can change at any time. No one dares to follow policy changes easily and everyone maintains the original standards.
We dare not raise more poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese, nor do we dare to plant more vegetables in our private plots, let alone flowers. Planting flowers and grass is considered the four olds and is a sign of laziness and aversion to work. Who dares to touch it?
In addition to Zhen Zhen, once the policy changed, she asked Meng Daguo to expand the scale of the pig farm.
Meng Daguo was a little unsure, but his mother was always right. Meng Hua also sent a telegram from the capital saying that the situation was changing and free trading would be allowed in the future.
Meng Daguo listened to her mother and bought fifty piglets.
There were not enough pig pens, so Meng Daguo took Dachuan to the mountain to chop wood and move stones to repair the pig pens.
There were also changes at home. After the spring, Zhen Zhen bought thirty little yellow chickens.
I don't expect to make money from selling eggs and chicken, I just sell them for family consumption.
Tao Aihong got pregnant during the cat winter last year, and this year she is in confinement and giving birth to puppies. Chicken is consumed quickly, so it’s better to raise some at home so that she doesn’t have to buy chicken outside.
After the spring, Zhen Zhen rode her bicycle to the county town. She first took a bag of Sanzi and two bags of brown sugar and went to Meng Li's house.
Meng Li was holding her daughter and playing in the yard, while her two sons were playing hopscotch with Cao's parents.
"Auntie!" Dabao was the first to recognize her.
Zhen Zhen and Meng Li are close, and Dabao likes to play with Daya and Erya, so he is also very familiar with Zhen Zhen.
Meng Li was very excited when she saw Zhen Zhen, "Auntie, why are you here? What are you bringing to my house?"
Zhen Zhen put the things down and took out the fried dough sticks for Cao's parents to taste. Cao's parents also liked their relative very much and were very affectionate to her.
"Guizhi, what's the matter with you coming to the city this time?" asked Cao's mother.
Zhen Zhen told Cao's mother about her plan to buy a house. She had inquired about this house last time, so Cao's mother was not too surprised, but she just didn't expect that she wanted to buy it.
"It's too expensive to buy it, it's better to rent it."
Zhen Zhen also had her own considerations. "I'm afraid the landlord will be a problem if I rent the house. I spent a hundred or two hundred to fix it, but in the end he doesn't rent it to me anymore. Who can I complain to?"
Cao's mother thought she was very thoughtful. "I see there are no shops in the city yet. Isn't it too risky for you to do this?"
Cao's father was quite open-minded. "The central government has already relaxed the rules. We can trade freely in the future."
Father Cao is very optimistic about Zhen Zhen and thinks that Zhen Zhen is a capable and clean person. There is nothing else to do in business except having good appearance and habits. Otherwise, people will not like you when they see you. Why would they come to your house to buy things?
Cao's mother nodded and said, "Then I'll ask the old Xu couple?"
Old Xu is an old colleague of Cao's mother and father. This house belongs to them, but it has fallen into disrepair over the years. All their money is in the hands of their son, who has never used any money to repair the house, so the house has been empty ever since.
If Zhen Zhen wants to buy it, she has to renovate it, which will cost a lot of time.
But Zhen Zhen fell in love with this piece of land. This is the old city area, surrounded by residential areas. Rural people who come to the city to buy things must pass by this street. It is not far from the cinema, middle school, and kindergarten.
County towns are different from big cities. Big cities can expand to the suburbs as much as they want, but in county towns, even after decades, the main activity area is still the old city. People in the old city are willing to spend money, and doing business there is more stable.
Cao's mother asked Cao's father to take her to Xu's house by bicycle. The old couple of the Xu family hadn't seen their old colleague for a long time, so they excitedly welcomed them in.
Cao's mother chatted about some family matters and then mentioned buying a house.
The old couple didn't expect someone to be so bold and were unsure for a moment, but her daughter-in-law agreed when she heard that she could make money.
The house is so dilapidated that it looks like a haunted house. If you want to live in it, it will cost at least one or two hundred dollars to repair it. With that money, you can build a new one.
No one in the city would be a fool to buy this house, it's just that the people in the countryside don't know the value of it.
The Xu family was afraid that she would go back on her word, so they asked her to give only 300 yuan.
Cao's mother thought the price was too high, mainly because of the renovation costs, but there was nothing she could do. The houses on the roadside were either occupied or had unclear ownership, so this one was the most suitable.
Cao's mother helped to pass the message.
Zhen Zhen didn't expect it to be only three hundred yuan, but no one else would buy such a shabby house except her, so she deliberately made things difficult and said she would go back and discuss with her son to see how much money she could raise.
The Xu family was also very nervous after hearing this, fearing that she would not buy it, so they specifically asked Cao's mother to reply and said that they could reduce the price by ten yuan.
After hearing the news, Zhen Zhen did not hesitate any longer. Such a good place, the residential land alone would cost more than this amount of money.
She wrote the contract and asked Meng Daguo to buy the house.
When Meng Daguo went to see the house, he thought his mother was amazing!
Can you buy such a big house just like that?
The price is not cheap, but the house is large. The front is a storefront, which is very spacious, as big as five or six houses. There are two warehouses in the back and a small courtyard with three residential rooms.
Although it is a bit broken now, it can be repaired and still be in great condition.
It can be used for business and as a place for living, in front of or behind the house, it is so convenient!
Meng Daguo was also very satisfied with the house his mother chose. He thought his mother had a good taste, so he brought the brothers Dachuan and Meng Dazhu to the city.
Meng Dazhu inherited his father's good skills, and building and repairing houses are no problem for him.
He came to the city in a daze, thinking that Meng Daguo's friend was looking for him to build a house, but it turned out that it was his aunt who rented a storefront in the county town and was preparing to open a shop.
This shocked Meng Dazhui, and he wondered how his aunt could be so bold and dare to do anything!
However, Meng Zhaodi was able to get into college thanks to her aunt. Now that her aunt needs help, he will help her even if it means going through fire and water.
"The roof just needs to be repaired. The rest of the place looks shabby, but it's actually very sturdy. I think it will last for a few decades without any problems," Meng Dazhui estimated.
Meng Dajian also touched the wall and said, "It looks shabby, but it's actually not a big problem. It's just that the roof of this old house is high, so it's a bit difficult to repair it. But it won't be a problem for me and my brother!"
Meng Dajian even boasted about himself, which Zhen Zhen also found funny.
Although these two are not her biological sons, she watches them every day and they come whenever she calls. They are closer to her than ordinary relatives.
Zhen Zhen praised: "You and your brother are both reliable, I feel relieved to leave the work to you."
Meng Dajian laughed happily. No wonder Meng Daguo liked to hang out in front of his aunt. It felt really good to be praised. Once he was praised, he would be happy for several days. Next time, if he didn't have the motivation to come to his aunt for praise again, he would be happy for a while again.
Meng Dazhui and Meng Dajian went home to ask Old Lady Meng to help them with the materials.
His aunt had already drawn the decoration drawings for them, clearly indicating which area was used as a warehouse, which area was used as a residence, which area was the storefront, which area was the staircase, and how the doorway should be designed.
It was the first time for Meng Dazhui and Meng Dajian to take on such a job, and they were eager to give it a try. They went home and discussed it for a long time.
When Old Lady Meng heard this, he stopped smoking and said, "What? The second son's wife is going to the county to open a shop? Why didn't I hear her say that?"
Mrs. Meng was also surprised:
"Is your aunt back? I'll go ask her what she thinks."
"No, my aunt said she went to get a business license." Meng Dazhu said.
Zhen Zhenzhen came here to apply for a business license. It was inconvenient to do things these days, so she went to several departments before she found the office. This office was also newly established and had only one female employee.
Zhen Zhen knocked on the door and said, "Hello, comrade. Is Director Wang here?"
Director Wang took off his glasses and glanced at Zhen Zhen's clothes. Seeing that she had an extraordinary temperament and no country accent, he did not dare to neglect her.
Director Wang stood up and asked, "Hello, comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Hello, Director Wang, I want to apply for a business license."
When Director Wang heard this, his eyes widened.
The office has been open for more than three months. Every day at work she just reads newspapers and drinks tea. It’s not that she is lazy, but there is really no one coming!
How can she serve the people if no one asks her to do so?
This elder sister was the first one to come to the door.
Director Wang quickly poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Comrade, what kind of business license do you want to apply for?"
“Food.”
"Food? What kind of business is it? Don't think I'm being nosy. We just started reform and opening up. Our county doesn't know how to proceed. We can only review it more strictly."
Zhen Zhen also understood that many leaders were confused after receiving the notice and were in a wait-and-see state.
She said honestly: "I want to open a food store. My experience includes but is not limited to dried fruits, prepared foods, snacks, and fast food."
Director Wang stunned her by saying, "So many things? Can you sell them all?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "I used to fry some melon seeds, chestnuts, and peanuts at home for my children to eat. My children love them, so I thought it would be better to open a dried fruit shop. The rest is just talk. We will know what to sell after the business starts, and we will adjust it according to the business situation. I don't have big expectations, I just hope to make some money to support my children."
Director Wang nodded. Who doesn't want to make some money to support a child?
Everyone thinks so.
Director Wang was very touched and did not make things difficult for her. He quickly processed the business license for her and even watched her leave.
Zhen Zhen felt relieved after getting the business license. She bought a net bag of apples from Zhao Meilan and carried two bags of milk powder on her back.
Old Mrs. Meng was waiting for her at home. "Second son's wife, I heard that you are going to open a shop in the county. You are so bold!"
Zhen Zhen knew that she was worried, so he had no choice but to move Meng Hua out.
"Mother, this was not my decision. It was your grandson who sent me a telegram, telling me to rent a shop and do some small business."
When the old lady mentioned her little grandson, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
"Why is Huahua involved in this?"
"If it weren't for him, how would a rural woman like me know how to open a shop? He told me that everything in the capital had been liberalized, and told me not to be afraid and to rent a shop and do some small business, and I would definitely make money."
"Then it can't be later?"
Mrs. Meng felt that her daughter-in-law was the first to be shot, and it was not safe for her to do so.
Rural people still have to protect their family businesses and take good care of this little bit of residential land.
Zhen Zhen knew that she was stuck in her old ways and it would be difficult to change her mindset in a short time.
"Mom, there are so many people in our family. How long will it take for us to earn money by working in the fields? After Daguo's father died, I had to support a large family by myself. How could I not go out and do some business?"
Mrs. Meng felt that her son was a burden to her daughter-in-law. "I know it's not easy for you, but your whole family is in the countryside. If you open a shop in the city, who will take care of your family? Without you, this family will fall apart sooner or later."
Old Mrs. Meng was worried about this.
She felt that this family couldn't do without a daughter-in-law.
Zhen Zhen called her joking, "Of course they will go with me."
"What are they going to do in the city? What else can Daguo Huilan and the others do besides farming? Besides, Daya and the others also need to go to school. Without a city hukou, they can't study. This is a problem."
Zhen Zhen still defended her children, "Mom, they work in the fields every day, but that doesn't mean they only know how to do it. It's because they have been doing this since they were born, and no one gives them any other choice! As for what they can do, there are many things. Daguo is good at raising pigs, Huilan can make clothes, Eryong is thick-skinned, and Aihong knows how to eat. These are all advantages!"
Meng Daguo and Jiao Huilan were also very happy when they heard this in the room.
Meng Eryong and Tao Aihong looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether his mother was praising them or scolding them.
"As for the child's education, I have already talked to my second brother and he will take care of it. We can arrange for him to study on loan first and then we can talk about the household registration later."
Originally, Zhen Zhen was planning to split the family, but for some reason these people were possessed by something and all of them disagreed with the split.
Forget about Meng Daguo and Jiao Huilan, even Meng Eryong and Tao Aihong jumped out to oppose.
Tao Aihong, in particular, firmly opposed it, saying that the eldest son could split the family business, but she wanted to live with her mother-in-law anyway.
Zhen Zhen almost rolled his eyes, not knowing what the two of them were up to.
However, several people disagreed with dividing the family, and Zhen Zhen had no other choice but to take the whole family to the county town.
"Auntie, can we really do business after we release this? We won't get caught, right?" Zhou Shufen asked worriedly.
The eldest branch of the family had not been divided, and there were many children, so Zhou Shufen had to farm and take care of the children at home and was unable to move freely.
At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Meng said she wanted to divide the family, so she divided the house in two and built a wall. From then on, the two families lived separately.
Zhou Shufen thought that it was good to divide the family. No matter how much money she made, it was for her own family. She saw that Zhen Zhen raised a lot of chickens, geese and ducks as well.
She secretly bought ten chickens and kept them in the yard without letting them out.
But she only dared to raise a few chickens, and she would never dare to do business. Not to mention doing business, she couldn't even move freely if she was asked to go to the county town.
Zhen Zhen said, "I remember Shufen's halogen sauce was pretty good?"
Zhou Shufen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know how to cook pork head. My father taught me this."
"That's it. We rural people can't do large-scale business, but small business is no problem! If the halogen flavor is well made, it will definitely make a lot of money."
Zhang Qiaohong asked, "Auntie, what can our family do?"
"What is not a treasure in our countryside? Raise more chickens and ducks. You don't need to spend money to feed them. They can grow up by eating grass seeds. In summer, you can catch fish, shrimps and crabs in the river and sell them. If you kill pigs at home, you can sell the leftovers to others. You can also grow vegetables and fruits in your own plots and exchange them for money as long as you are willing to move your legs. Even if you can't make much money, you can definitely supplement your family income."
Even if they could think of these ways, they wouldn't dare to do them.
They are all from the country and feel restrained when they go to the city. They dare not even talk to strangers, let alone do business.
Zhang Qiaohong has the will but not the courage.
Zhen Zhen stopped talking about this matter and it was not easy to persuade her, but she still said:
"Dazhu and Dajian can build houses and have good skills. In the future, we can form a formal team and help others build houses."
With the abilities and skills of the Meng Dazhu brothers, they are more than qualified to be contractors.
When times get better and there are more commercial housing, these two people may be able to make a name for themselves.
But it’s not time yet, so we can only take it slowly.
The three daughters of Zhou Shufen, Pan Di, Xiang Di and Ying Di, are all grown up. Especially Pan Di, who is already fifteen years old this year, seventeen years old in age, and can find a husband in the countryside.
Pan Di is good-looking and an honest person. Someone from the next village has his eyes on her and wants to marry her as his daughter-in-law.
The other party's family background is good. Their ancestors have always been poor and they are a simple farmer.
Zhou Shufen felt that this family was too poor, and the only thing they had was their integrity. In the past, she might have agreed, but when she saw that Zhaodi was going to college, her mood changed unconsciously.
——Girls can go to college.
After realizing this, Zhou Shufen had more expectations for her daughter. After all, the child is still young and there is no need to rush her to get married. If she fails to get into university, she can always learn a craft, right?
Zhou Shufen asked Zhen Zhen to help her daughter find out if there were any apprentices recruited in the county.
Zhen Zhen agreed, "I agree with what Shufen is doing. If a girl has a diploma or a skill, she can earn money to support her family, and she will have more authority in her husband's family."
Meng Eryong and Tao Aihong were also very curious about what kind of house their mother-in-law bought, so Zhen Zhen gave her a general description.
"Daguo wants to raise pigs. Eryong will go over to help Dazhu and Dajian starting tomorrow. You can have meals at the state-owned hotel. Your second uncle gave me some tickets." Zhen Zhen instructed.
Meng Eryong was very happy when he thought about going to the city to work. Although the countryside was good, people still yearned for a better living environment.
It is convenient to shop, watch movies and go to school in the city. He is a person who likes the hustle and bustle, so he wants to go to the city.
Tao Aihong had the same idea.
The next day, they both went for a walk. They didn't expect that the mother-in-law bought such a big house. Although it was a bit shabby, they were rich now, and it was no big deal to spend a hundred or two hundred yuan to repair the house. After the repair, the house was impeccable.
The house took more than half a month to repair, and the family went to inspect it after it was completed.
Tao Aihong was particularly surprised. The house had changed so much.
Her mother-in-law is also capable. There is a sign hanging on the doorstep that reads - Good Mother-in-law Food Store.
The inside and outside of the door were painted white, even the roof was not spared. There were many wooden shelves in the storefront, all painted white, which looked very refreshing at first glance.
There is a desk at the door with a wooden sign on it with the words "Checkout" written on it. Everyone knows at a glance that this is where you come to settle your bills.
The three rooms in the backyard were re-painted with cement floors and white paint. The cabinets, desks, and beds in the rooms were all new. They had never seen such a style before and it was extremely fashionable.
Take the bed for example. Not only is it a big bed for adults and a bunk bed for children, but the bed also has a wooden slide. You can climb on it and slide down, which really makes the naughty kids happy.
A new toilet has been built in the yard. It uses a flush toilet. You can flush it by pulling the rope on the toilet. It is much better than the dry toilet in the countryside.
Tao Aihong felt that it was the right decision not to divide the family, and she knew that her mother-in-law must have a trick up her sleeve.
See! If you don't split up, you can just sit back and enjoy the food. This is much better than splitting up.
None of them had ever seen such a nice house, so they all went into their own rooms.
Although there are only three rooms in the house, one for each family, the room is quite spacious and not too crowded. Besides, there is a dressing closet. Which woman doesn't want a dressing closet of her own?
Jiao Huilan touched the cabinet happily and put her clothes into it one by one. The cabinet her mother made was of good design and had a lot of space for hanging clothes, so it could really hold a lot of things.
"Daguo, this cabinet is so nice. I finally have a dressing cabinet." Jiao Huilan said.
Meng Daguo nodded and said, "When I make money in the future, I'll buy you a few more."
Jiao Huilan was very sweet after hearing this, "One is more than enough, no need to buy too many."
Zhen Zhen was no longer busy with the moving matter and could just leave it to his son. After all, the place they moved to was not far and he could go back whenever he wanted.
She began to prepare for the opening of the new store.
A large iron pot was set up in the backyard. Zhen Zhen prepared melon seeds and chestnuts and asked Jiao Huilan to stir-fry them, and asked Tao Aihong to count the goods and business supplies.
After the things were ready, she took some more out of the space and placed them on the wooden shelf one by one.
This wooden shelf has a glass panel. You can cover it when you are not buying anything. It is clear and clean. It is the best.
Candied dates, chestnuts, plain melon seeds, salted melon seeds, cream melon seeds, fried peanuts, five-spice peanuts, and red dates were all put on the table, in addition to persimmon cakes, dried sweet potatoes, and potato chips.
Zhen Zhen made potato chips by referring to potato chips. Don’t say that popular things are popular everywhere.
These potato chips are the most popular among the Meng family. Even Mrs. Meng and her father love to eat them.
She also discussed with Jiao Huilan about making silkworm beans, pumpkin seeds, dried apricots, dried apples, sesame paste, etc.
Because of limited supplies, they worked hard on supplies that were easily available, such as sweet potatoes. In addition to dried sweet potatoes, they also made fried sweet potato chips, roasted sweet potato chips, and candied sweet potato chips.
It can not only ensure that goods are always available, but also make the variety of goods look richer.
There is no other solution.
They also prepared some cakes, including red bean cake, mung bean cake, and jujube paste cake, as well as a lot of hawthorns, and planned to make candied haws.
With all this preparation, everything is ready and all we have to do is choose a good day to open.
