When I got home, the meal was ready.
Although he had eaten in the restaurant, Su Xiaoqiang still sat down and drank some soup.
"Mom, I also plan to buy a second-hand bicycle." Su Daqiang said after eating.
"Huh, you still know how to buy it, but you snatched the bicycle your little brother just bought to ride on it. It's shameless." Yao Erniang laughed and scolded.
"Hehe, Xiaoqiang and I were joking. We couldn't help ourselves when we saw the bicycle. It feels really good to ride it. My master and I have made some money while working outside these days, and with the help of my master, it should be about the same."
Su Xiaoqiang calculated the money in his pocket and paid 30 yuan a month's salary, but he gave it all to his mother for expenses. In the city, everyone's expenses are about 5 yuan, and even 30 yuan is not necessarily the same. It was enough to feed his wife and children, so Su Daqiang was anxious to upgrade.
But fortunately, every time I go out to work, I can earn one or two yuan, sometimes four or five yuan. I have saved more than thirty yuan in this month.
"Brother, why don't you exchange this gold bar for money first? It's useless for me to keep it." Su Xiaoqiang took out the gold bar given to him by Yao Erniang.
"No, no, this is what dad left behind. I'll just ask Master to borrow a hundred yuan. Then your sister-in-law will also have a salary, and it will be paid back in a few months." Su Daqiang pushed the gold bar away and said, "Brother We haven’t settled the accounts yet, but as the eldest brother, I have already taken advantage of my younger siblings.”
Su Xiaoqiang glanced at his sister-in-law who was silent. It seemed that she was the one who said this. This made Su Xiaoqiang feel warm in his heart. As long as he recognized his own good qualities, he would take it for granted.
Yao Erniang looked at the harmony between the two brothers and nodded with satisfaction. Then she thought of her daughter who married outside. The children have become talented, and she can be considered worthy of her husband's instructions.
"Young man, please don't worry about this matter. Let your elder brother make his own decision." Yao Erniang said, and Su Xiaoqiang put away the gold bars.
Early the next morning.
Before Su Xiaoqiang went out, he saw Lu Hongjun waiting in the courtyard with seven or eight people pushing two carts.
"Is this all the crayfish? Come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative. Yesterday our director said it was 2 cents per pound. You can get as much as you want. It's really a pity." Su Xiaoqiang's pity was that it was too little.
"Brother Su, I'm here to help push the cart too!" Lin Hongjun ran out of the house and said when he saw that there was work to do again.
Su Xiaoqiang nodded. After these days of contact, it seems that Lin Fang also had the idea of letting Lin Hongjun worship her as his disciple. Lin Hongjun himself may not have realized it yet. After all, he is a child. Su Xiaoqiang can figure it out in just a few sentences. all his words.
"Pushing a cart is very tiring, and your breakfast will be wasted with this work, haha."
"It's okay. I'll go to the vegetable market later to pick up the leftovers. Good luck!" After Lin Hongjun finished speaking, he started to use two small trolleys. Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang didn't refuse, everyone was polite.
"When did you get here?" Su Xiaoqiang asked while walking on the road.
"We arrived at three o'clock in the morning, and we also went to the pigeon market for a while." Lu Hongjun hesitated after speaking, looking like he was constipated.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are all relatives and don't have to bear it."
"Yes, brother, just say it if you have anything to say." Lu Baolian also said on the side. Because he had to deliver crayfish today, Su Xiaoqiang did not ride a bicycle.
"We went to the pigeon market and asked about the price. Sweet potatoes now cost 1.5 cents per catty, and rice costs 1 yuan per catty. After all, we are short of you by 2,500 yuan!"
"You must have lost money on the grain you sold to us. We don't want the money for these lobsters today. We will look back and see how much we still have, and we will replenish it for you."
"Just a few sweet potatoes..."
"It's necessary..." Su Xiaoqiang was about to speak but was interrupted by Lu Hongjun, "You ask the brothers who came with me. They all think that we should supply you. We in Lujiazhuang are not freeloaders."
The other people pushing the cart nodded in unison.
"Yes, brother-in-law, you'd better take it. It's my fault that I didn't understand the price. The insurance cost you a big loss first." Lu Baolian also looked happy, this is not a small sum of money.
Goudan also echoed: "You have been a big help by being able to buy food, and we still want to take advantage of you. That is so unhuman. There are just no lobsters. If we catch hares later, I will send a few to my uncle." ~"
"Oh? Can the little brother hunt?" Su Xiaoqiang saw that the other party was only in his teens. How could he hunt at such a young age?
"Goudan... Well, Lu Xiaobu has been running in the mountains since he was a child. He is the best hunter in the production team. He also discovered this lobster." Lu Hongjun explained with a smile.
"It's amazing. I also want to hunt, but unfortunately I don't know how. I can't even find the prey." Lin Hongjun said enviously.
Lu Xiaobu noticed this friend who was about the same age as him at the beginning. When he heard what he said, he immediately said: "I'll teach you~"
"Okay, okay." The two children started chatting happily.
…………
"One thousand, seven hundred kilograms of crayfish! 340 yuan, take it." Li Neng also readily gave the money and credited it to his account. "How many days should we sell these lobsters, Chef Su?"
"Spread it over two days, or at most three days. We'll see how many people order this dish at noon."
"Then let's wash the two hundred kilograms of lobsters first." Everyone in the restaurant carried the lobsters to the back kitchen.
In just a short while, a lot of people gathered in front of the hotel. They had just walked along the street and many people knew that yesterday's crayfish had arrived.
People who can't afford it have already started queuing up.
"I'll give you all this money. I'm still short of 2,160 yuan. We have no money this time, but we brought some old things. I heard that people in the city like these things. Do you think we can use these things to pay for it?" Lu The Red Army opened the sack placed in the corner and almost blinded Su Xiaoqiang.
"Blue and white porcelain?" Although Su Xiaoqiang didn't understand porcelain, he still knew blue and white porcelain. As for whether it was true or false? Generally it will be true.
"Is this valuable?"
"It's worth it...two blue and white porcelain plates. I don't know the other ones, but I think they can be sold for some money."
Su Xiaoqiang counted a total of thirty antiques.
"Then I'll give you all this. I just don't know if it's enough. If it's not enough, let's go back and get some more!" Lu Hongjun said generously. In his opinion, these things are inedible and useless if left alone. Su Xiaoqiang can just like them. .
"That's enough, that's enough. I still feel like I'm taking advantage."
"That's it, that's good." For more than two thousand yuan, Lu Hongjun felt like he was suffocating just now. Now that he can use these things to pay for it, that would be great.
"Now that it's over, let's go back first. If there are any more antiques later, will you take them?"
"Take it, take it as much as you want, as long as it's real, I want it!" Anyway, I had enough sweet potatoes, so I kept them. I haven't finished the bag of sweet potatoes I put at home last time.
"Xiao Bu, remember to come and play with me."
"Red Army, don't forget me!" When Lu Xiaobu called out to Red Army, Lu Hongjun subconsciously almost answered, but it turned out that the person he called was Lin Hongjun.
If nothing happens, these two people may never see each other again, and Su Xiaoqiang has nothing to do.
