The classic shape of white walls and red plaques fully displays the sense of age.
Yu Tian put the cart away, opened the door curtain with his wife and children and went in.
There are six small square tables in the restaurant, and customers at three or two tables are drinking and chatting.
The prices of the dishes are written on the wall.
Stir-fried for 50 cents, braised pork for 80 cents, fish-flavored shredded pork for 70 cents, and sliced pork for 9 cents.
If you want to have a good meal, five yuan can afford it.
After we sat down, a waitress in a white coat came over with a notebook.
Yu Tian ordered a piece of fried tofu, a piece of fried pork slices, and a piece of snow-coated bean paste for Li Wanrou.
"Dad, the pork belly is so delicious and crunchy!"
After waiting for a while, the food was served.
This was Doudou’s first time eating pork tenderloin. The old-fashioned pork tenderloin is delicious and delicious, and goes very well with rice.
Served with burnt tofu, his little mouth was soon covered with oily flowers and rice grains.
"You eat too."
Li Wanrou gave Yu Tian a bite of food and asked, "How are the sales of duck eggs?"
"More than 20 yuan, not bad! By the way, I will buy some sour tricolor and go back later. I will go to the reed swamp tomorrow to harvest another wave of duck eggs."
Yu Tian took a bite of food and started planning things for tomorrow.
You can't always dig out duck eggs. If you search again tomorrow, they will be almost clean.
"More than twenty yuan?"
Li Wanrou was a little surprised.
Going to a state-owned restaurant to eat is already a big deal for her.
When she heard that Yu Tian earned more than 20 yuan, she couldn't believe it.
"It's not much..."
Yu Tian smiled softly, "Wanrou, I will try to make our family a household worth ten thousand yuan as soon as possible. By then, all the money will be under your control!"
Ten thousand yuan household...
Li Wanrou shook her head secretly.
In this era, some wealthy areas already have households worth 10,000 yuan.
But there really aren't many in Liushu Village, or even in the county, just a handful.
Ten thousand yuan was an astronomical figure in people's minds at that time.
Many people even think that if the family has 10,000 yuan, they will not have to do anything in this life, they will be able to live comfortably until they are old.
"Stop bragging..."
Li Wanrou rolled her eyes at Yu Tian with fake anger, but her heart was full of hope.
Regardless of whether he can do it or not, at least Yu Tian now has a goal to strive for.
Having goals is good, and change is a good thing.
After eating, Yu Tian packed up another portion of meatloaf and prepared to take it back to his third brother.
The third brother is an honest man, has no bad intentions, and is very popular in the village.
When the paddy fields were harvested in a few days, Yu Tian planned to ask him to buy the eels from the field.
When I paid the bill, it cost more than three yuan.
After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yu Tian bought two more light bulbs and some daily necessities.
After doing the math, I still have a little over twenty in hand.
It should be enough to buy eggs tomorrow.
When I got home, it was dark.
Yu Tian first went to the third brother's house and gave away the meat slices.
I won’t return the cart for now, since the third brother won’t be using it recently.
Yu Tian thought that he should get a bicycle to speed up the journey back and forth to the county town and save more time.
Bicycles were considered rare products in the 1980s and were expensive.
A permanent brand bicycle sells for about 150 yuan, which is equivalent to more than half a year's salary of a worker.
At that time, there was a standard to measure whether a family was wealthy, which was called three turns and one ring.
They are bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios.
Especially bicycles can more intuitively show the superiority of a family.
In Liushu Village, only village chief Wang Dafa has a dilapidated bicycle at home. This was given to him personally by the county magistrate when he was commended by the county for being an activist.
Although it is a second-hand product, it can be worth a hundred and eighty yuan if sold on the black market.
"Yutian, are you going out now? Oh, by the way, there were a few people who went to your house just now, wanting to sell eggs. Did you meet them?"
The third brother took the slices of pork from Yu Tian and his mouth watered.
In the afternoon, he made a bet with his third sister-in-law that when Yu Tian went to the city this time, he would definitely bring some delicious food to his family when he came back.
"Yu Tian!"
The third sister-in-law also rushed to greet her, "Don't buy things all the time in the future. I heard Wanrou say that you have worked hard these past two days. We are getting rewarded for nothing!"
"It doesn't count! It doesn't count..."
Yu Tian waved his hand, "Third sister-in-law, I can't talk about receiving salary for nothing. I just want to ask you and third brother to do me a favor."
After saying that, the third brother agreed without even thinking about it.
The performance this time was different from last time.
When he heard that he needed help, he subconsciously thought that Yu Tian must do something positive.
Seeing the third brother and the third sister-in-law nodding in agreement, Yu Tian continued, "Third brother, you and my third sister-in-law are very clever. Can you take the time to help me weave two big baskets tonight? I will use them tomorrow morning."
The eggs must be collected and stored in a container.
The third brother and the third sister-in-law know some handicrafts, so Yu Tian has found the right person.
The two of them stopped eating, went to the backyard to find some tools, and quickly started making up.
Yu Tian only waited for less than half an hour, and two large baskets with a height of 60 centimeters were woven, which were very strong.
Yu Tian asked for some soft straw and spread it inside to prepare for the purchase of eggs tomorrow.
After returning home, Li Wanrou waved him in and said she had something to discuss.
"Yutian, I want to raise some chickens and two little piglets, what do you think?"
Other families in the village more or less raise some livestock.
Li Wanrou had raised her before, but no matter what she raised, she was eventually sold by Yu Tian and lost in gambling.
Now that she sees that life is getting better, she is thinking again and wants to raise two piglets and kill them for meat after they are released.
"Grow it! Raise whatever you want! But you have to be mentally prepared, the things you raise may not last long."
As soon as Yu Tian's words came out, Li Wanrou's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Li Wanrou's expression change, Yu Tian quickly explained, "I don't want to make the same mistake again! What I mean is that we may move in the future. When the time comes, we will live in a building. Where will you raise pigs? Are you going to build a pig pen and a pig pen in the building?
A chicken coop? The neighbors must not scold you to death!"
These words made Li Wanrou giggle with joy.
She thought it was possible to live in a building.
But she believes that if this continues, it will take at least five or six years to achieve this.
In 1982, the price of a piglet was about seven or eight yuan.
You don’t need to buy any chicks. You can get a few at Third Brother’s house.
"Then when you make more money, share some with me."
Li Wanrou rolled her eyes, thinking about the days to come.
"Give it to you now!"
Yu Tian handed more than twenty yuan to Li Wanrou, "From today on, you will be in charge of the money. If I need money, I will come to you to ask for it."
"ah?"
Li Wanrou was stunned, holding a stack of cents in her hand. She felt a little uncomfortable.
After so many years of marriage, Yu Tian always snatched money from her and never gave her any money.
This feeling is so amazing...
"Take it! Tomorrow morning I will go to the reed swamp to get duck eggs. If someone comes to sell the eggs, you can buy them directly. If you are too busy, ask the third sister-in-law for help and spend all the money."
Yu Tian gave a few instructions.
"How much does it cost?"
Li Wanrou asked.
According to the black market price, eggs can be sold for 156 cents each in the county.
"A dime..."
Yu Tian thought for a while and said.
"Can they sell it? The difference is four cents each!"
Li Wanrou thinks the price is a bit low.
"rest assured!"
Yu Tian looked confident, "Come on, daughter-in-law, put your ear to me, I'll teach you how to say it... I can keep it all!"
Li Wanrou hesitated for a while, then obediently put her ear towards him.
Her hair, which she had just washed this morning, still had a refreshing fragrance.
Feeling the hot breath from Yu Tian's mouth, her little earlobes turned red again.
The numb and itchy feeling made her really want to lean into this man's arms for a moment.
