Chapter 022 Does he like me?

It was only ten o'clock in the evening when they sold out the ingredients and went home after closing the stall. It was

the first time for Lin Wanxia to set up a stall, so she didn't prepare much ingredients, just five pounds of pork, five pounds of mutton, and twenty pounds of squid. She bought ten pounds of soybean oil at twenty-five cents a pound, as well as skewers and other seasonings, and the total cost was about thirty yuan.

If there were food coupons, soybean oil would only cost fifteen cents.

Lin Wanxia wanted to go back, so she had to get some tickets.

After taking a shower, she sat cross-legged on the bed and began to count the income from the stall.

A total of seventy-one yuan and eighty-five cents.

More than half of the profit.

Lin Wanxia was a little excited. No wonder she had always heard in her previous life that roadside barbecue stalls could make tens of thousands of yuan in just one summer. The profit was really huge.

She counted the money, put it under her pillow, and fell into a sweet dream.

In another room, Jiang Sinian and his son also washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Xingxing was a little sleepy, but now he was very excited and insisted that Jiang Sinian tell him a bedtime story.

Jiang Sinian was annoyed by his noisy behavior and raised his hand to hit him, but when his hand was halfway raised, Lin Wanxia's charming face and the words "It's wrong to hit children!" flashed before his eyes. He withdrew his hand, wiped his face, and nodded with suppressed temper, "Okay, I'll tell you a story."

Jiang Sinian racked his brains and thought, "Once upon a time there was a shepherd boy..."

"I don't want to hear about shepherd boys."

"Once upon a time there was a Little Red Riding Hood..."

"I don't want to hear about Little Red Riding Hood either."

Jiang Sinian's patience was exhausted, "What do you want to hear? I see you want to be slapped! What time is it? Go to bed!"

"I want to hear the story of Lan Xing."

"What story of Lan Xing? I've never heard of it."

Without saying a word, Xingxing stood up, grabbed her pillow, stepped over Jiang Sinian and tried to get out of bed.

Jiang Sinian pulled him back, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Lin Wanxia, ​​she will tell you the story of Blue Star."

Jiang Sinian: "..."

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Lin Wanxia has fallen asleep. So, how about you tell me the story that Lin Wanxia told you first, and I will tell you next time, okay?"

Xingxing hesitated for a while and finally lay back down, saying reluctantly: "Okay! Then I'll tell you a story about a rabbit changing homes."

"Yeah." Jiang Sinian thought it was just a story about a little white rabbit moving, so he closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep. As he listened, his ears perked up.

"The Russian bear no longer considers the rabbit as a good friend. It bullies the rabbit in various ways and even throws mushroom eggs at the rabbit's home. The mushroom eggs are particularly powerful and can blow up the rabbit's home and kill the rabbit. The rabbit's family is not as strong as the Russian bear, so they can only be beaten.

At this time, the rabbit leader thought of a way. He gathered all the rabbits in his home and stopped them at the dividing line between the Russian bear's home and his own home. Then he spread the word on Blue Star that if the Russian bear dared to throw mushroom eggs at its home, he would throw mushroom eggs at the Eagle's home, and at the same time he would lead the rabbits to occupy the Russian bear's home. Anyway, the Russian bear is not as agile as the rabbit, and it will not have an advantage in close combat. The Russian bear cannot throw mushroom eggs at its own home..."

Jiang Sinian suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the stars.

Others may not be able to hear it, but he knows very well that this is the world-famous "home-changing tactics".

This is considered military, and it is also a historical event in terms of reading.

Doesn't Lin Wanxia have a low academic degree? !

"The eagle got anxious and said to the rabbit, 'I didn't provoke you, why did you bring me with you to fight with the bear?' The rabbit said, 'I don't care! If it hits me, I will hit you.' The eagle had no choice but to say to the bear, 'You can't hit the rabbit, if you hit the rabbit I will poke your eyes.' The bear was not sure of a one-on-two fight, so it had to give up bullying the rabbit."

"What else did Lin Wanxia tell you?"

"A lot more! There was the story of Lan Xing and the story of the first emperor..." Xingxing yawned and fell asleep.

Jiang Sinian had some insomnia.

In fact, his feelings towards Lin Wanxia have always been complicated.

She is pitiful because she dares to drug men when she is bad.

She is hateful because she was forced by her fourth uncle's family to die with her cousin.

She was simple-minded, but she negotiated a fake marriage with Jiang Sinian just to get back her family property and not be bound by marriage.

She was scheming, but she tried her best to teach Xingxing, who had nothing to do with her, how to behave and teach him knowledge.

In just half a month, Xingxing gained weight and grew taller.

You know, Xingxing is a troubled person in the compound, and everyone who sees him has a headache.

Only Lin Wanxia can make him obedient.

Jiang Sinian sat up and rummaged through the boxes to find all the money and bills.

All the belongings could probably hire Lin Wanxia as a nanny for ten days.

***

Lin Wanxia was addicted to setting up stalls.

She also made some simple benches with the remaining wood. Jiang Sinian saw it and helped her make a few folding round tables.

The round table made by Jiang Sinian is different from the folding table seen before the time travel. It is not folded directly, and the round table top does not move. The secret lies in the table legs.

This kind of table is common in ordinary people's homes, mainly used as a dining table, and easy to store.

Lin Wanxia was moved and a little scared. Why did Jiang Sinian help her so much?

Could he really like her? !

But she has no plans to start a family for the time being, let alone become Xingxing's stepmother.

Just when she was struggling whether to break this window paper, something happened.

Although the island city is small, there are oil wells. Many unemployed young people form gangs to occupy the wells and steal oil.

There are big brothers, small brothers and small brothers in the gang.

Lin Wanxia's barbecue stall has become famous far and wide, and many people will come to eat at night.

Many children would come to eat. These city kids would have a few cents in their pockets, so they could buy two skewers of lamb and a handful of squid, eating until their mouths were full of oil.

Lin Wanxia set up tables and chairs and added grilled vegetables, grilled leeks, grilled garlic cloves, grilled eggplants, and grilled peppers.

Business was getting more and more prosperous, and people went home later and later.

When the business was low, he could make 30 or 40 yuan a day, and when the business was high, he could make more than 100 yuan a day.

That day, Lin Wanxia set up the tables and chairs as usual, and Xingxing followed her.

He recently liked the feeling of being a "waiter", and it was very much like that to greet and see off guests.

Jiang Sinian didn't say anything. He said he was accompanying Xingxing, but in fact he was just free labor, and most of the skewers were grilled by him.

Just taking orders and collecting money was enough to keep Lin Wanxia busy. It

was around eight o'clock in the evening, when people were coming, a few young men wearing flowered shirts and middle-parted hair, who moved in a frivolous manner, came to the stall.

Lin Wanxia frowned when she saw them, but didn't say anything.

These men sat down at the table with their legs and feet folded, and scared away most of her customers.

They were all in their twenties. After watching a few DVDs, they had turned themselves into gangsters. One of them even had a tattoo on his arm.

It was only 1983 and it was still relatively rare.

"First, twenty skewers of pork belly, twenty skewers of lamb, twenty skewers of squid, a plate of grilled eggplant and five skewers of leeks..."

Lin Wanxia agreed. Jiang Sinian only looked up and glanced at them, then quietly took the food they ordered and put it on the grill.

Several people slammed the table from time to time to urge: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Are you going to starve us to death?"
