Chapter 51 Do you have a little goldfish there?
Time flies, half a month has passed.
Xu Wanning has not been idle in the past half month, and has been studying how to make cans.
She knew the steps of making cans very well, and she had already solved the problem with the glass jars outside.
But there is still a big problem, the lack of machines that can vacuum and cap the cans.
Fortunately, in her previous life, apart from studying cooking, Xu Wanning's favorite thing was reading all kinds of books, and she had an excellent memory.
It happened that she had read in an unofficial history book the method of making the first generation of cans. It was only the 19th century, and cans could be made
in an era when industry was underdeveloped , and it can definitely be done now! Xu Wanning took out a pen and paper and began to sit at the table and write and draw. She wanted to draw the machine in her mind that was used in the first generation of cans. Although it has been improved many times and the machine is getting better and better, the materials are obviously not enough now, and she is afraid that it is too complicated and no one can make it for the time being. As long as she can make cans and see the finished product, she will definitely create a stir. When the time comes, she will take the opportunity to propose improving the machine. She believes that the leader will approve it and help. "Huh, it's finally done." Xu Wanning moved her sore and stiff shoulders and neck. She suddenly looked up and saw Dachun Yaomei leading Yuan Xin standing at the door of her room. "Why are you here?" "I have something to do with you. I saw you were busy, so I didn't bother you." "Quick, come in and sit down." "Da Chun'er, get you a cup of hot water for Aunt Yuan." Yuan Xin She glared at Xu Wanning and said, "What do you call me aunt? I'm still an unmarried girl, so calling me sister is more like it." Xu Wanning gave her a small roll of her eyes and said, "Okay, as long as you don't mind that I'm a generation older than you. " Yuan Xin: "..." "Pretend I didn't say that!" Dachun brought the hot water, and Yaomei brought some fried pine nuts on a plate: "Auntie, eat it." "Thank you, Dachun Yaomei. "Yuan Xin took out two toffees from his pocket and gave them to the two children. The two children did not refuse, but looked at Xu Wanning at the same time. After seeing Xu Wanning nodded, they took the toffee and thanked her in a sweet voice: "Thank you, aunt." Yuan Xin breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of being rejected again. Seeing this scene, Xu Wanning couldn't help but smile. Dachun and Yaomei are very clever. Perhaps it was because the original person had treated them extremely badly in the past, which led to them being very judgmental about people's faces. When Yuan Xin came here for the first time, she had a feeling that the visitor was unkind. In addition, she had just come here and couldn't figure out the situation, so she had a bad attitude towards Yuan Xin. When the two children saw this, they naturally wouldn't eat it. The candy she gave. But last time Yuan Xin came to tip off and asked Lin An to rush to rescue Xu Wanning, so the children always felt that they owed Yuan Xin a favor. In addition, they could keenly feel that Xu Wanning's attitude towards Yuan Xin was different, so they did not refuse her candy this time. The brother and sister took the candies and went out, and Dachun thoughtfully closed the door. "Tell me, what do you want from me?" "I want to exchange some candy coupons with you." "Huh?" "I heard about a branch factory going to be built in the village. To be honest, I also want to work in the factory. The salary is It doesn’t matter if I don’t get paid, the main thing is that I don’t want to work in the fields anymore to earn work points, but it’s not easy for me to get in as an educated youth, so I want to buy something and go through the back door of the team leader and the village chief.” “Don’t worry, I will . If you have money, I'll exchange it for equal value, or even give you a little more." "You think I lack your money?" Xu Wanning snorted, but still took out the money note from the drawer. "I can buy two kilograms of brown sugar and two kilograms of fruit candies, is that enough?" These days, sugar is a rare and precious commodity, and one kilogram of brown sugar and fruit candies is enough for a family. In addition, she has prepared other things, which she can definitely use. "That's enough, that's enough!" Yuan Xin took out the money and gave it to her: "Here, this is two yuan. Is it enough to exchange for candy coupons?" Xu Wanning looked at the money placed on the table by Yuan Xin and pursed her lips, "What do you mean? , is there a possibility that even if you give a gift, the brigade captain and the village chief can't let you into the factory?" At the brigade headquarters that day, the commune president Chen had given Xu Wanning full power to select people. In other words, only after passing Xu Wanning's level can one enter the factory. After all, she is a "migrant" and knows the people in Dajiang Village, but is not familiar with them. She does not have many conflicts and is not too close to anyone. Her selection will be more fair. Yuan Xin also heard that the leader from the capital was Xu Wanning's brother. From her tone, it seemed that there was something else going on. Yuan Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "If I give you the gifts prepared for the team leader and village chief, can you let me enter the factory?" "Ahem!" Xu Wanning held a hollow fist and put it to her lips. She coughed, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I am very fair and resolutely put an end to things like going through the back door, so it will be useless no matter how many gifts you give me! But..." She changed the subject and saw Yuan Xin His curiosity was aroused, and he continued: "In addition to the workers on the assembly line, there are also positions such as cashiers and accountants who need bookkeeping and other academic qualifications. I think you can give it a try." Yuan Xin's eyes flashed Liang, "I just know how to do it!" "Well, you can prepare in advance first. It is estimated that we will start recruiting people in March of spring." Hearing what Xu Wanning said, Yuan Xin's heart finally fell back into his stomach. . "Then these candy coupons..." Xu Wanning grabbed it and put it in the drawer. "Since you don't have to give gifts, you must not use the candy coupons, right?" Yuan Xin pouted. Who says you have to give gifts to use candy stamps? Can't she buy it for herself to eat? Don’t you know how nervous you are about sugar tickets now? "By the way, I revealed such important news to you. As a courtesy, shouldn't you also help me?" "Say." Yuan Xin sat upright.
She was most afraid of owing someone a favor. The information Xu Wanning revealed in secret could help her a lot, so couldn't she repay it? Instead of thinking about how to repay, it is better to give Xu Wanning the decision-making power.
"Do you still have a little goldfish there?"
"What are you going to do?" Yuan Xin looked at Xu Wanning warily.
She has already been separated, why should she still worry about what she has in her hands!
"It's not easy to exchange your little goldfish on the black market, right? In today's situation, if you want to exchange your little goldfish for money, it will only greatly reduce its value. Am I right?"
Yuan Xin was silent.
The little goldfish she found from the hole in the table weighed less than a pound, but it could only be exchanged for ten yuan on the black market.
None are even half as valuable.
But the current market situation is like this, and it is difficult for her to save it. Instead of worrying about being discovered and stolen all day long, it is more cost-effective to exchange it for money.
