Chapter 11 Our family is quite rich
Seeing Fang Yuan's hesitation, the boss knew that this was someone he wanted to buy, so he quickly said, "Don't think it's expensive, my buns can hold up to three in the store, and they are made of solid ingredients. I have my own unique recipe, which is not available in food stores."
It tastes good to me."
"Okay, give me ten." Fang Yuan had money in his pocket, and ten buns were only a dollar and a half. His wife's stomach was growling with hunger. How could she still be reluctant to part with such a small amount of money?
The boss was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this young man wearing rags could actually be a big customer. However, he didn't stop. He took the one and a half cents handed over by Fang Yuan, took out a flashlight, and took a photo.
He took the photo and put it into his arms with satisfaction, then took out the paper bag and picked out ten buns with chopsticks.
"Put it into three bags for me." Fang Yuan said immediately.
"Sure." The boss nodded. This was considered a big business. He quickly took two more bags, put three in each, and put the rest in one bag.
Fang Yuan saw that half of the buns in the boss's basket were missing and said with a smile, "Uncle, you don't have many buns."
The boss smiled bitterly and said, "I still do it secretly. I make less, sell faster, and the possibility of getting caught is low. To be honest, if it weren't for my family's difficulties, I wouldn't make such a small amount of money on the sly."
How dare you do this!"
Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly. The limitations of the times are here. Doing private business is actually regarded as sneaking around. It can only be said that it is helpless. But it will be better in a few years. Once the economic reform is liberalized, private business will become prosperous.
After taking the buns, Fang Yuan was too lazy to continue breaking them apart, and hurriedly ran to his wife, handed the paper bag with the most buns to Su Yan and said, "Daughter-in-law, eat quickly!"
Su Yan was surprised when she saw it was a steamed bun, and then said anxiously, "Did you spend money to buy it?"
"What you're saying is, if I ask someone for it, they can't give it to me! Your man doesn't have such a big face." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Su Yan quickly said, "Don't waste money. These buns must be very expensive. I haven't eaten these buns yet. Please return them! Uh...!"
Fang Yuan didn't care about this, picked up a warm bun and stuffed it directly into Su Yan's mouth. The smell of meat was about to overwhelm Su Yan's rationality. Half of the three-ounce bun was eaten in just a few bites. It was so short of people.
When the food was full, Su Yan was eating the buns almost instinctively.
Fang Wen was drooling on the side and looked at his fourth brother pitifully. Fang Yuan rolled his eyes at his brother and handed another paper bag to Fang Wen.
"Thank you, fourth brother." Fang Wen was so happy that his mouth almost reached his chin, and he wolfed down the buns. Fang Yuan took a look at his brother's eating appearance and felt that he was more excited than watching mukbang after decades. This kid
It's not a good time, otherwise I might become famous on the Internet.
Fang Yuan looked at the two people eating delicious food, and felt happy in his heart. What was the purpose of being reborn? To fight with others and restart the tide of the times, it was not for him anyway, as long as the people he cared about could live a good life.
, that would be best.
Fang Yuan also tasted one himself. Not to mention, the boss's steamed buns were indeed delicious. He didn't know whether it was because his body was too hungry, or if he really had a secret recipe. As soon as the steamed buns were put into his mouth, he was greeted by the rich and delicious soup, which was warm.
The temperature of the steamed buns and soup is just right, it doesn't burn your mouth, and it hits your taste buds in an instant.
Next is the soft dough, soaked in the meat filling soup, soft, but with a little toughness. When the teeth bite through the bun skin and touch the meat filling, the deliciousness is completely exploded. In the final analysis, it is
One word, beautiful!
Su Yan also recovered at this time, with a depressed look on her face, and said to Fang Yuan, "I'll just eat this one, how about you return the rest!"
Fang Yuan said dumbfounded, "No need, I told you before that our family is actually not that poor. Come on, let me show you this!" Fang Yuan said, taking out a handful of coins from the inner pocket of his jacket.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, Fang Yuan quickly stuffed it back, and then told the story about selling eels. After hearing this, Su Yan said with a look of disbelief, "No one in our team eats that eel thing.
How can the workers of their mining bureau be willing to spend so much money on it!?"
Fang Yuan laughed and said, "The people in our team don't eat it, not because they don't want to eat it, but because it takes a lot of fuel to make, and it takes a lot of energy to catch it. If you have the strength to catch eels, you might as well lie down on the bed, but
It’s much easier to catch eels in my eel cage, and the workers in the Bureau of Mines are not short of oil, at least not as much as we are.”
The eel cage originated in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It was originally invented by fishermen. Although there are rivers in the Jianghuai area, most people live in coal mines, so this thing did not spread until the mid-1980s. The domestic economy
After he started to recover, someone came in from outside and returned to the eel cage.
"The most important thing is that workers in the Bureau of Mines do strenuous and dangerous work. Sometimes after being injured, they definitely want to buy some meat to eat, but pork requires meat stamps. Even a worker's family does not have many meat stamps in a month. Ours
The eel is free of charge, tastes good and has high nutritional value, so of course they are willing to buy it."
Su Yan seemed to understand, and said with some worry, "But selling eel is very dangerous, so don't sell it in the future! It's okay if I don't eat meat buns. In fact... I don't actually like eating meat buns."
"Sister-in-law lied, she ate faster than me just now." Fang Wen quickly revealed his sister-in-law's background, fearing that if his fourth brother really believed his sister-in-law's words, he would have no meat buns to eat in the future.
Su Yan quickly lowered her head. She had indeed eaten too fast just now. According to the old man, it was like being reincarnated by a starving ghost, and her brother-in-law even saw it.
Fang Yuan knocked on Fang Wen's head, and then said to Su Yan, "Don't worry, I will sell it a few times before selling it. We are separated now. We can't live at home all the time. We have to find a way to build a house, right? And
From now on, we will need money for food and drink, and there will still be some time before the brigade will distribute rations. During this time, we can’t starve to death, right?”
In order to support the children in the family, Fang Yuan took the initiative to leave rations at home. Although it was impossible for his father and mother to not give them any rations when the family was completely separated, but with that little ration, they would probably be hungry.
All the mice in the house are confused.
Su Yan had already wrapped the bun in a paper bag, and Fang Yuan asked doubtfully, "Why are you wrapping it?"
"Take it back to your parents to eat!" Su Yan said matter-of-factly.
Fang Yuan couldn't stop sighing, he glanced at Fang Wen and then at his wife. Sure enough, comparing people to each other is a life-and-death struggle. How could a fool like Lao Liu compare with his own wife?
"I'm in a good mood, but you'd better eat it! If I let my parents know about this money now, they probably won't be able to sleep at night." Fang Yuan advised.
Don't look at the calm look on Dad's face when he found out that he was selling eels. That was because he thought that he only sold a few fried dough sticks and grain money. If he knew that he sold his elder brother a month's salary in one day, he wouldn't be scared to say nonsense.
It’s all because of my father’s good psychological quality.
For a business worth tens of dollars, if the militia really caught him, it would be an exaggeration to shoot him, but if he was sent to the prison over there in the small blockhouse, he would probably be able to get Su Yan to remarry.
After being persuaded by Fang Yuan and Fang Wen, Su Yan finally ate the remaining two buns obediently. There was one bun that she refused to eat at all and insisted on giving it to Fang Yuan, saying that Fang Yuan was the pillar of the family, which was much more
Eat something.
Seeing that Fang Yuan refused to eat, he deliberately said with a distressed look, "I really can't eat anymore, my belly is bloated."
