After a long time, the red on Han Aiguo's ears faded, and he asked Su Yue, "How many eggs do you want?"
Su Yue didn't dare to be too enthusiastic, and pretended that what had just happened did not happen, and replied, "Give me thirty."
Han Aiguo nodded, and asked Su Yue to bring her basket over and bring her from the egg basket.
His hands are very big, his aunt is distinct, and his fingers are especially long. He can hold three at a time, and the three eggs are like one egg in his hand.
Su Yue stared at his hand until he finished taking the egg, and then asked: "Big brother, how much is the total?"
Although Han Aiguo has been in the army all year round, he also knows the price. If an egg is sold well now, it can sell for seven cents, but most of them can only sell for six cents. He cannot sell it to Su Yuegui. Sell it to her.
Su Yue did not rush to pay him, but continued: "Brother, I want to trouble you with something, I don't know if it will work."
Han Aiguo looked up at her, "You said."
"Brother, I want to borrow some fine noodles from your family. I originally wanted to buy it when I went to the commune to go to the fair. But the farming these days is busy and there is no way to go. I don’t have any fine noodles at home. I want to borrow some emergency noodles first. I'll buy it in a few days and then return it to your house, can you see?"
The reason why Su Yue didn't say to buy it directly was because at this time, every household had limited fine noodles, which was not enough to eat. Generally, they would take it out when something happened, so they wouldn't be used to sell it.
After listening to Han Aiguo, he thought about it and said, "Okay, wait a minute."
He turned around and limped to the kitchen. After a while, he took out a cloth bag and handed it to Su Yue, "This is two catties of fine noodles, and there is no more."
Su Yue took it with gratitude, and at the same time did not forget to thank him, "Two catties are enough, thank you brother, you are really nice."
At this time, the people's speeches were simple and straightforward. How could they say "You are so nice" in person, Han Aiguo was uncomfortable listening, and the roots of his ears were quietly red.
Su Yue secretly smiled in her heart.
I bought the eggs and borrowed the noodles, and there was nothing to say between the two. Su Yue wanted to talk to him more, but it was their first meeting after all, and they weren’t even acquaintances between them. If she lingered here and talked about things, he might think she was. That kind of girl who has no purpose, doesn't have a good impression of her, that would be broken.
For her good image, Su Yue lifted the basket, smiled and waved to him: "Thank you, big brother, I'm going back."
Han Aiguo nodded slightly without saying anything.
Su Yue found out that besides his cold face, this person was still not talkative. He definitely couldn't talk when he had nothing to say. If he had words, he simply said that.
It seems that if you want to get acquainted with him, she has to take the initiative.
When she got home, Su Yue returned the two eggs she had used in the morning, and then put all the rest back in her room and locked it up.
The reason why she bought eggs and borrowed white noodles was because she wanted to make some chicken cakes. One was to relieve her greed, and the other was to see if she could sell them when she went to the market next time. If she could sell the chicken cakes If so, she can also buy more ingredients to make good food and improve her food.
However, the two days are too busy to harvest rice, and the members cannot take time off to go to the market. They can only wait for the end of the busy farming period, when most of the members will go to the market to buy things.
The next day, Su Yue’s stomach was much better. She didn’t ask for leave anymore, and went with other people. Although it was still very painful in the next few days, she finally managed to get through with her teeth, and she finally managed to make the autumn harvest. Passed.
Not only Su Yue, but all the members sighed fiercely, showing a long-lost smile.
Immediately after the autumn harvest, there was a gathering. Before Su Yue offered to go to the fair, Wu Xiaoxiao asked first: "I'm suffocating me. I'm going to the fair to buy things. Do you want to go?"
Li Xiaoqing raised his hand, "I'll go too, there are so many things gone, I have to buy some."
Another educated youth, Mao Lin, also said that he would go, and in the end, everyone except Wei Jia would go.
So the group of four decided to go to the commune to go to the fair together.
The night before the fair, Su Yue took out the eggs and flour she bought into the kitchen.
Li Xiaoqing saw that she had brought out so many good things, her eyes widened slightly, "Su Yue, what are you doing?"
Su Yue simply explained to her while breaking the eggs into the basin: "I want to make some chicken cakes to eat. I don't want to go to the market tomorrow. I also want to try to see if I can sell them. I can also exchange something for some money. "
Li Xiaoqing is not surprised when Su Yue said that he wants to sell chicken cakes, because now the common people in the market are allowed to sell their own food and vegetables, and many common people secretly sell their own food and eat old cloth. This kind of thing secretly Quite a lot, everyone knows it well.
But Li Xiaoqing’s novelty is what Su Yue is going to do. She has never eaten chicken cake when she grows up. She has seen and ate mung bean cake and red bean cake.
Li Xiaoqing didn't return to the room anymore, and asked, "Su Yue, can I stay and have a look? Don't worry, I'll take a look. I'm not going to learn it secretly, I don't have that craft."
Su Yue stirred the eggs, "It's nothing, you can stay if you want."
Li Xiaoqing was very happy and rolled up his sleeves and said: "Is there anything I can help you? Or I will set you a fire?"
Su Yue's thoughts were moved when she heard this. She wanted to ask Li Xiaoqing to help her. If the business can be done in the future, she can't be busy alone, she can't just burn fire. She is still not very skilled in burning fire. It might be a delay in cooking.
But we still have to see if the chicken cake can be sold.
So Su Yue asked Li Xiaoqing to set a fire for her, and she concentrated on the stove, carefully making the first cake since she came here.
An hour later, Su Yue told Li Xiaoqing to put out the fire, and the first batch of chicken cakes was freshly baked.
Li Xiaoqing couldn't wait to get out of the stove and sniffed his nose against the pot, "Su Yue, it's so fragrant and fragrant, how can it taste better than mung bean cake and red bean cake! My saliva is running down."
Su Yue heard it funny, took the steamed chicken cake out of the pot to cool, and at the same time picked up one and handed it to Li Xiaoqing, "Sister Xiaoqing, try it and see if it tastes good."
Li Xiaoqing really wanted to eat it, but she waved her hand and said: "No, no, this is a good thing. It costs so much eggs, sugar and white noodles. I was wasted eating it. You can sell it at the store."
Su Yue grabbed her hand and forced the cake to her, "Eat it, don't you help me burn for so long to eat a cake? Don't tell me, just try it."
"Then I won't be polite to you, I'll eat." Li Xiaoqing was really greedy by the smell, feeling that the greedy worms in his stomach would be hooked out abruptly.
Gently bite down in one bite, soft and sweet, melts in the mouth, and even the nasal cavity is sweet.
Li Xiaoqing's eyes narrowed, and she was busy giving Su Yue a thumbs up, "My Tian Suyue, you are a chef. It's so delicious. I used to think mung bean cakes and red bean cakes are delicious. Now I have chicken cakes with you. It’s a lot of difference. Chicken cake is the best pastry I have ever eaten!"
At this moment, the voice of the system sounded: Congratulations to the host, the chicken cake is rated as c-level, and you can get ten points.
Su Yue looked at the points panel in her mind, and the number on it had changed from four to fourteen.
Su Yue smiled happily.
Li Xiaoqing asked again at this time: "Su Yue, how much do you plan to sell for one dollar?"
Su Yue thought about the current prices, and said, "Tentatively set a dollar and a half."
Li Xiaoqing was stunned, thinking that the price is a bit expensive. At this time, even the rice is less than 1.5 kilograms. Is this piece of chicken cake comparable to one kilogram of rice?
"Su Yue, can anyone be willing to buy this?"
Su Yue also knows that in this era, a penny is a lot. Many people can't bear to weigh a catty home for half a year for six cents and a catty of meat. If they spend a penny to buy a piece of chicken cake all at once, they will not be allowed to be killed. Think it's crazy.
However, whenever there are poor people, there will be rich people. There are always some people who are not short of money. On the contrary, they have money but don't have to buy good food. Such people don't care if they spend some money as long as the food is delicious.
Su Yue plans to sell chicken cakes to these people who don't need money.
Listening to Su Yue's explanation, Li Xiaoqing suddenly slapped her head, "Look at my brain, it's not good for you. Although we are reluctant to buy it, but those who are dual-employees or work in government agencies are all homes. It's not bad, your chicken cake is so delicious, they must be willing to buy it."
"Hope, I have to try it tomorrow." Su Yue took out two more pieces of cake as she spoke, and divided it into two pieces with a knife, turning it into four pieces, and gave three of them to Li Xiaoqing. "Sister Xiaoqing, can you help me send it to the other three people to taste it, I'll put the cake in the basket, and take it to the commune to sell it tomorrow."
Li Xiaoqing looked at the three pieces of pastry a little bit pain, but think about it under the same roof, if there are good things for others to taste, it can't make sense, so she had to endure the pain and send it to others.
Su Yue looked like she felt more distressed than herself, but also funny.
Going to the fair is a characteristic of this era. Before the dawn of the next day, the four educated youths got up and went to the fair.
In this era, there are no buses or tricycles for pulling people. When the members go to the commune to go to the market, they all rely on their two legs to walk.
It takes an hour to walk from Hanjia Village to the commune. Su Yue and the others set out before dawn, and when they walked to the town, it was already bright.
Su Yue was tired and became a dog, and her feet were almost numb.
On the other hand, the other three people are much better, they all just sweat a little, and just take a rest, not as exaggerated as Su Yue.
Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said to Su Yue: "Your body is too squeamish. It won't work just to go this way."
Su Yue was also very helpless. Although the body belonged to the original owner, the tolerance level now belonged to her, and she was not as good as the original owner. Her biggest hobby in the past was to stay in the kitchen to study food. She rarely went out for physical exercises, and she rarely walked. She rarely went shopping. When she went out, she mostly drove. The road is still rough and uneven.
Too much trouble.

When Su Yue saw some people passing by her on a bicycle, she couldn't help being envious. She also wanted a bicycle so that she didn't have to rely on her legs wherever she went.
But in this era, bicycles are expensive, costing more than two hundred yuan, and if you have money, you still have to have industrial tickets, and industrial tickets are hard to get, so there are very few people with cars.
What's more, all her belongings now are only a few dozen dollars, and she can't afford a bicycle wheel.
This is probably the poorest period of her life.
Wu Xiaoxiao and Mao Lin were going to the supply and marketing agency to look at fabrics. Li Xiaoqing also planned to buy some personal items. Su Yue was afraid of delaying them, so she let them go first.
After they left, Su Yue stayed on the spot and rested for a while. After she recovered most of her strength, she stood up with the basket and walked to the supply and marketing agency.
She didn't plan to sell at the market. This method was still dangerous. She planned to go directly to the supply and marketing agency to quietly look for customers.
Su Yue stood not far from the entrance of the supply and marketing agency and observed. After a long time of observation, she saw a stylishly dressed woman in her thirties coming out of it, holding a can and an oil paper bag in her hand. What you are holding seems to be eating.
At first glance, this woman is not short of money at home.
Su Yue's eyes lit up, no longer hesitating, she walked straight up and stopped the woman.
When the woman looked suspiciously, Su Yue smiled slightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to buy some chicken cake? The chicken cake I made by myself is delicious and delicious."
The woman thought she was being stopped by someone to sell her own stuff again, but she was impatient, and she was about to wave her hand and leave immediately, but she was attracted by the "chicken cake".
She hasn't heard of chicken cake yet.
Out of curiosity, the woman did not leave, but asked: "What chicken cake?"
Seeing that there was a play, Su Yue immediately opened a corner of her basket, revealing the golden cake inside, "Sister, look, this is my own chicken cake, it's very delicious, you will know if you taste it."
Su Yue didn't say anything else and stuffed a piece for this elder sister, and the woman didn't hesitate, she just tasted it, because it was too sweet, and it tasted delicious.
At this entrance, the woman was taken aback. She didn't expect it to smell delicious and taste even more delicious. She had never eaten such a delicious cake.
Now the woman didn't hesitate at all and asked directly: "Sister, how do you sell this chicken cake?"
Su Yue knew that the business was completed, and quietly said, "Sister, there are so many people here, let's go to the alley over there and talk."
The woman nodded clearly, followed Su Yue over, and introduced herself as she walked, "My name is Jiang, you just call me Sister Jiang."
Su Yue yelled to Sister Jiang in a kind-hearted manner. When there was no one in the alley, she completely opened her cover and said, "Sister Jiang, we made this by ourselves. We couldn't buy it outside. You tasted it too, I won’t waste time. It’s a dime and fifty dollars. How many dollars do you think?"
"Five cents?" Sister Jiang was slightly surprised. She wanted to say that it was too expensive, but when she thought of the taste, she felt that it was not expensive. It was much better than the pastries sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives. It was delicious and beautiful. If you can’t buy it, there is a lot of weight. Buying this to give away is better than the stuff in the supply and marketing cooperative.
It just so happens that her family is going to prepare gifts to give away, but all the things in her hand are bought as gifts.
Sister Jiang immediately looked at Su Yue's basket and said, "Sister, I want all of your chicken cake, but you have to give me a cheaper one."
Su Yue was pleasantly surprised. She thought she would take three or four yuan at most, but she didn’t expect that she would pack it all at once. It was really great. She immediately packed up the chicken cake quickly, "Okay, Sister Jiang, I What if you wiped all the bits?"
Sister Jiang was also very happy that Su Yue was refreshed. They just paid the money and the cakes, and the business was completed.
When Sister Jiang was leaving, she said to Su Yue: "Sister, my house is in the family building behind the textile factory. If you make something delicious next time, bring it to me, and I want it. "
Su Yue reluctantly agreed.
Touching the money in her pocket, Su Yue almost wanted to sing a song. She sold for three and a half cents on this order, and the cost was less than fifty cents. In other words, she made almost three yuan at a time.
Although three yuan sounds very small to modern people, it may not even be enough to buy a popsicle, but in the 70s, it was a lot of money. Everyone’s envy of factory workers is only about 40 a month, which is equivalent to about one yuan a day, and three yuan is equivalent to three days’ wages for a factory employee.
Su Yue's heart is happier than she earns tens of millions in a month in Hyundai.
After making money, Su Yue wanted to buy it.
She went to the Jishang, spent money to buy five kilograms of rice with no votes from the local farmers, and bought fine noodles with no votes. Seeing that there were beans that were sold at home, she also bought some mung beans and red beans.
Finally, she went to the supply and marketing agency again and bought the spices and oil that are essential for food.
After a lot of buying and buying, all the money on her body was spent, and there were no more tickets left. It could be said that she was poor all over her body.
But seeing the stuff in her hands, she didn't feel distressed anyway, anyway, she could still make money without the money.
When Li Xiaoqing and the others came back, they were shocked when they saw a lot of things in front of Su Yue. The last one helped her carry a little, and the four of them finally managed to help her carry the things back to the village.
Back in the village, Su Yue weighed out two kilograms of fine white noodles first thing, wrapped two pieces of chicken cake that she had left behind in oil paper, and walked to the country of Korea with one piece.
She is going to whiten her face.
When I arrived at the entrance of Han Ai's country, this time the door was not concealed, but it was all open, vaguely as if I heard someone in the yard shouting loudly.
Su Yue got closer and heard a woman's voice angrily said: "The royal family is simply a black-hearted family! Snobbish and black-hearted. I was really blind before I saw his daughter. If I had known this. My family is such a stinky virtue, even if I kill me, I don’t look down on her daughter. I really thought that my son and daughter were fairies, I yeah! Who was begging to come to my family for nothing, oh, now Seeing my family’s patriotism is hurt, I feel that I have no future and I want to retire and find another career. How can I be so capable!"
There was a younger female voice admonishing, "Mother, don't be angry. It's not worth it to be angry for such a family. Our family can be regarded as clearly seeing their royal family, and we will resolutely not interact with their family in the future."
"I have never seen such a snobbish family. At the beginning, I was begging to make peace with me. I think his family was so sincere and agreed to this marriage. Now it’s not good. I saw that my patriotism returned home. I'm going to regret it, do you want to force my face! I want to see, what kind of character their daughter can match with in the end!"
Su Yue stood outside the Han's courtyard and listened for a while, and she probably understood what was going on in her heart. It should be that the person who had made a relationship with Han Aiguo saw that he was injured, seeing that there was no future, and regretted in his heart, so he came to the house and retired.
No wonder the old lady is so angry.
However, she was quite happy. If Han Aiguo didn't resign, how could she approach him?
You can't do things as a junior.
Seeing that the old lady's scolding became quieter, Su Yue just sorted out her clothes, walked forward and knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone home?"
All the voices in the yard stopped. Everyone looked at the door and saw Su Yue standing at the door, all with surprised expressions.
The old lady Han asked aloud, "Are you Su Zhiqing who lives in Dongtou?"
Su Yue nodded: "Auntie is me, is it convenient for you now?"
Old lady Han hurriedly reduced the anger on her face and greeted her, "Come in, come in, girl, what's the matter with you?"
Su Yue showed the flour in the basket to the old lady, "Mother, I came once a few days ago, but you were not at home at that time, and the eldest brother was at home alone, so I borrowed some flour from the eldest brother. This time I went to the store to buy it, and I will return it to you."
Of course the old lady Han knows who she is talking about. Patriotic told her a few days ago that an educated youth came to buy eggs and borrowed two catties of flour. She didn’t think much about it, but she knew it was a female educated youth. A female educated youth with such a mark.
This girl is the whole Hanjia Village, no, no, the most beautiful girl in the whole commune.
Such a beautiful girl bought eggs from her boss and borrowed noodles. Did the two talk a lot?
Why didn't this brat tell her clearly.
The old lady Han thought about the possibility of these two people. When she came back to her senses, she remembered that her boss was no longer what she used to be. She is still thinking about what she is like now, even the girl of the Wang family hates it. The boss of his family is even more impossible for a girl with such a mark.
Alas, you can't think about it anymore.
Thinking about this, the old lady's eyes dimmed, she smiled and stretched out her hand to take the flour that Su Yue handed over, and said politely: "Good girl, come in and drink some water, next time you need something, just come to the aunt's house to borrow it. "
Su Yue calmly looked around, but didn't see the man's figure, and suppressed the disappointment in her heart. She took out the oil paper bag and handed it to the old lady Han, "Auntie, this is my own chicken cake. Bring you two pieces to taste. Thank you for lending me flour."
Although the old lady Han has never heard of the chicken cake, she also knows what kind of pastry it is. Pastry is a rare thing, so she subconsciously rejected it, "Good girl, this is a good thing. You can take it back quickly. You just borrow some flour, no? Thank you."
Su Yue stubbornly stuffed the oil paper bag into the old lady's hand, "Auntie, I made this by myself. You can try it. If you don't accept it, I am embarrassed to come and trouble you if I lack anything in the future. Just accept it."
When the old lady Han saw her saying this, she stopped being polite, "Well, well, the auntie will accept it, and you should come into the house to have a drink with the auntie."
Su Yue waved her hand, "No mother, I have to go back to wash the clothes, so I won't drink the water, mother, I'm leaving now."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she turned and left, not planning to drink water here.
Han Aiguo didn't come out, and she couldn't see him even after drinking water, so let's talk about it next time.

The old lady Han behind looked at the back of Su Yue's departure, and exclaimed: "How long is this girl? Why is this sign."
Everyone in the family knows that Mrs. Han likes girls with signs, and they all smiled and responded. The second wife of Han said: "Yes, this Su Zhiqing is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and I don’t know what she will be like in the future. Only men can enter her eyes."
The third wife of Han didn't care, she glanced at the cakes in the hands of the old lady Han and said: "What the housekeeper is looking for, it has nothing to do with us. What are you worrying about. Mother, look at what Su Zhiqing brought you. What pastries, chicken cakes, I haven’t heard of them yet.”
The old lady Han rolled her eyes, "You know how to eat! What are you doing? I will give two pieces of pastry to my old lady to try. Do you want to divide it a bit?"
The third daughter-in-law Han swallowed and said, "Mother, I'm just curious to ask, how am I embarrassed to eat your cakes, but the children have never eaten these chicken cakes, mother, please give them to the children. Try it."
The old lady Han scowled and scolded: "I am a grandmother. I don't know how to give it to my grandchildren. Would you like to remind me?"
The third wife of Han was completely silent.
The old lady Han said to the second wife of Han, "Go call the children back and give them chicken cakes."
The second wife of Han was overjoyed and hurriedly went outside to call the children.
Hearing something delicious, the children rushed back. As soon as they entered the door, they surrounded the old lady Han and called: "Grandma, grandma, I want to eat chicken cake, I want to eat chicken cake!"
The grandchildren of the Han family have a total of four children, the second child has three, and the third child currently has only one. Neither the first child nor the fourth child have a family yet. If they are married, there will only be more children.
But at present, just four can cause headaches.
"Don't make noise, don't make noise, I'll divide it for you, one by one." The old lady Han took out one of the cakes that Su Yue had brought, and used a knife to cut the children apart and eat.
As soon as the cake was taken out of the oil paper bag, a sweet smell filled the air immediately, causing the children to yell "Wow--", and all the saliva flowed out. I would like to grab it, if it wasn't for Mr. Han The wife was guarded, and she was really going to be snatched away.
The third daughter-in-law, an adult, kept swallowing, her eyes stuck in the cake and couldn't get out, "My dear, this smells too fragrant."
The old lady Han also nodded and said, "My old lady has never seen such a fragrant dim sum at such an old age. Not only is Educated Su not only beautiful, but also so skilled."
The old lady said that he divided the cake into small pieces and gave it to the children, one for each child. After the children took it, she couldn't wait a moment before stuffing her mouth, her mouth was so stuffed that she was reluctant to swallow it.
The old lady Han said helplessly, "You are starving to death, you can't be gentle!"
Han's second pillar swallowed first, with a memorable expression on his face, "Grandma, it's really delicious, can you give me another piece?"
He saw that there was another piece that he hadn't taken out.
The other children stared at the remaining piece longingly.
The old lady Han had a stern face, and she stretched out her hand to put away the remaining piece, "This piece is not for you to eat, you are not allowed to make any ideas."
The children were so disappointed that they watched eagerly until the old lady Han left with the pastry.
The third wife of Han curled her lips, and whispered her ears with the second wife of Han, "Second sister-in-law, the mother is eccentric, and the eldest brother will send it if it is a bit delicious. Look, the cake must be reserved for the elder brother. food."
The second daughter-in-law of Han looked at Han Aiguo's room and said, "Don't talk nonsense, brother is injured, mother feels distressed."
The third wife of Han is not convinced: "He can't work, he stays at home all day, eat so good, what do you do, if you have good things, it is better to eat for the second brother and my housekeeper, anyway, they have to work hard. It."
The second wife of Han flashed her eyes, "Stop talking, be careful when your mother hears that you can't eat and walk around."
The third wife of Han was still very afraid of the old lady, so she didn't dare to say more at the moment, but her heart became even more unbalanced. When she slept at night, she was still mumbling about the old lady's eccentricity.
Oldest Han frowned before he could hear it, and reprimanded her: "What do you know, don't be blind! Big brother is injured and not eating rice. Big brother has been in the army for so many years, and all the money is sent back. I have a big family. Our father left early. My mother has limited ability to pull out a few of our brothers alone. My eldest brother went to the army early for the family. Our family built a house. The second brother and I got married with the eldest brother. The army earned more than half of this family business. Big brother is injured now. What's wrong with my mother? Don’t give me a mess here."
The third wife of Han was said to be faceless, picking up the bedding and whispering, "But the eldest brother's leg hospital said it could not be cured, and the army must not be able to go back. He will stay at home in the future, but he is like that. If you can work, don't you have to eat plain rice at home in the future."
Oldest Han was silent for a while before he said, "Even if your eldest brother can't work anymore, it's not our turn to say anything. Don't let me leave the door open. Be careful to cut you off."
Seeing that the man was not on his side, the third wife Han was so angry that she pushed him and turned away angrily.
At the same time, the old lady Han with a bowl in her hand, opened the door and walked into Han Aiguo's room.
Han Aiguo was reading a book, and seeing his mother come in, she put the book aside and called mother.
The old lady Han put the bowl in her hand on the table, revealing the cake inside, "My mother brought you the cake, you can try it."
Han Aiguo already knew that the cake was given by Su Yue, because the children at home were discussing the cake during dinner.
"Mother, what kind of cake should someone like me eat? Share it with the children."
The old lady Han said, "Educated Su sent two yuan. I have already divided a large piece for the children. You can eat the rest. This is sent by Educated Su to thank our family for lending her flour. It was you that day. At home, you borrowed her, then she is not thanking you, so you should eat this cake."
Seeing that Han Aiguo will refuse to refuse, the old lady Han said again: "My mother asked you to eat, just eat. You are so badly injured this time. You should have eaten more good supplements, but the family is not rich now, and there is no way to buy them. What you eat will replenish your body. I heard that there are a lot of eggs in this cake, which are nutritious.
Han Aiguo knew that my old mother was always worried about her legs, and couldn't bear to make her sad, so she stopped rejecting, took the cake from the bowl, divided it into two, and handed half of it to the old lady Han, "Mother, I have no son to eat. What you are looking at, we are one and half of us, eating together."
The old lady Han knew that her eldest was the most filial of the four children. She couldn't help but smile, and did not reject his filial piety. She took a bite and said with emotion, "It's really delicious, sweet and sweet, and soft. Yes, it doesn’t choke, and it’s okay if the teeth of the elderly don’t taste good. The craftsmanship of this educated youth is also too skillful."
Han Aiguo looked at the cake in his hand for a moment, paused, and opened his mouth to eat, a sweet scent slipped into his throat, as if sweet from his tongue to his heart.
It is because he has never liked sweets, and he has to admit that this cake is delicious.
She is really good at craftsmanship.
After waiting for Han Aiguo to finish the cake, Mrs. Han tentatively said, "Boss, you heard everything about the Wang family's visit today, right?"
Han Aiguo nodded, and said without emotion, "I heard it."
The old lady Han observed his expression and wanted to see what he thought about this matter, but unfortunately, she couldn't see anything from his expressionless face, so she had to say, "Boss, don't be sad. Mother is not good, she didn't keep her eyes open, she found you a wicked one."
Han Aiguo looked at the old lady Han and said calmly: "Mother, I am not sad, and I have not seen people a few times. I can't talk about feelings. If you retreat, just retreat. Just don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry!" The old lady Han was so angry when she said this, she patted her chest to please herself. "It's all because my mother has eyes and no beads, and I picked you a black heart. I saw you have a future in the army. I want to rush to marry you, and now I see you are injured and come to divorce, this family is not afraid of being pricked by someone's backbone!"
Han Aiguo patted the old lady on the back, and comforted: "Mother, in fact, we can't blame others. The doctor of my leg said that he could not be cured, and there is no hope of returning to the army. I will not be able to do farm work at home in the future. , It’s almost like a waste person, a woman who marries me doesn’t suffer the crime alive. It’s justifiable for people to retreat."
"What's excusable!" The old lady hurriedly said, "It was his family who came to me and told me that his daughter likes you, even if you can't come back in the army, she is willing to wait for you, and doesn't care if you can't always At home, I am willing to take care of everything at home. I was moved by these words at the beginning. I thought that girl had a heart for you, but okay, it's all fake! This is too shameless!"
Han Aiguo: "Well, mother, the matter will be over if it is over. Don't be angry about it anymore. Let's not talk about it."
The old lady succumbed to her temper, thinking that her son’s leg was hurt. The saddest thing was that he was right. But she wanted her son to comfort him. She really shouldn’t. So she curbed her temper and said, “Okay, I’m not angry. It’s not worth it to be angry with such a person. Don’t worry, my mother will find out and find you a better one."
Seeing his mother refused to give up, Han Aiguo was very helpless, "Mother, don't worry about my affairs. I will be like this from now on. Whoever marries me will be a drag on whoever will marry me. Nothing will ruin other people's good girls. Mother. As long as you don’t dislike your son, your son will live with you in the future, and your son will not get married."
"Nonsense!" Unexpectedly, the words seemed to touch the old lady's scale. The old lady was so excited, "Why don't you get married! You went out to serve as a soldier at the age of sixteen, and did your duty for this family for more than ten years. It’s you, so you haven’t settled until now. Even your brother’s children can make soy sauce, but you are single. You don’t know how uncomfortable your mother’s heart is. Your mother’s greatest wish is to see you get married and have children. Live your life well. If you don’t get married, don’t say anything. Don’t worry, my mother will find you a good girl who doesn’t dislike you, and you will give me a fat grandson again.”
Han Aiguo rubbed his forehead, knowing that his mother was stimulated by today's divorce, and now he can't listen to more words, so let's slowly persuade her later.

About the divorce of Han Aiguo, it spread all over the village the next day, and everyone was talking about it when he was working.
A woman not far from Su Yue was chatting with a few people while she was working, “I heard that the Han family had a big trouble yesterday, and the old lady of the Han family almost got into a fight with the old lady of the Wang family.”
A woman next to him said: "No, the old lady of the Han family almost had to work hard with them. But we can't blame the old lady of the Han family. The Wang family did too much. When she saw someone hurt her leg, she would raise her relatives. People poke their spine."
Someone said: "You can think from the perspective of the Wang family. People are also thinking about their daughters. Han Aiguo used to be a sweet pastry, and in the army, the cadre allowance is high, but now it is different. I heard that the doctors in the provincial capital I've seen it all, and it is said that it can't be cured, and it's a bit awkward. It will be disabled in the future. Who is willing to marry a girl to a disabled girl? Isn't this pushing the girl into the fire pit?"
Several people echoed this statement, "It's true, if it's my daughter, I don't want her to marry such a person."
"Who wouldn't say, although the Wang family is not kind, but Han Aiguo can only be blamed for the bad luck, the bright future is so ruined, and a good man will become a disabled man in the future."
"I see, the boss of the Han family will want to talk about being difficult in the future. He is already in his twenties, and with his crippled legs, he will not be able to make money to support his family in the future. No girl dare to marry."
"Yeah, yeah, if I want to tell you, in the future, the Han family boss can only count on Mrs. Han to support him, but I don't know if her other three sons will have any opinions."
"There will definitely be opinions. Even if the three Han brothers have no opinions, their daughter-in-law must have opinions. Who can stand his uncle eating plain rice at home?"
"It won't be long before I see, this Han family will be separated."
Su Yue's brows gradually wrinkled when she heard everyone talking like this. She was originally happy about Han Aiguo's resignation, but now that so many people said he was crippled by a crippled man, she became angry in her heart. That man is a hero. When he returns from an injury on the battlefield, it shouldn't be the result.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more unhappy she was, calling the system in her mind: "System, can Han Aiguo's leg really be healed?"
System answer: Yes. There is a cure for this kind of leg in the system mall. After long-term use of the leg, it will slowly recover, and the host need not worry.
"How many points does the recipe need to exchange for?"
System: This must be understood by the host in the mall.
Su Yue sighed helplessly, thinking about her current points, only 14 points, she didn't even have the qualifications to enter the system mall, let alone get the prescription for treating legs, she estimated such an important prescription, the most At least several hundred points are required. With her current "financial resources", that is a drop in the bucket.
No, she has to work hard to earn points, save enough points to enter the mall as soon as possible, and then save enough points for buyers.
After she got off work, Su Yue couldn't wait to get into the kitchen, planning to make some mooncakes.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, no matter whether the family is poor or rich, they will buy some moon cakes and try them home. There are moon cakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but they are expensive, and there are only a few flavors, which are not necessarily delicious.
But what she does is different. What she does is definitely one street away from the moon cakes of the supply and marketing cooperative in terms of taste.
I bought a lot of flour and red beans from the market last time, and there are sesame seeds at home, so she can make a red bean paste moon cake and another sesame moon cake.
Before doing it, Su Yue approached Li Xiaoqing and told her about her plan.
Li Xiaoqing knew that the chicken cake made by Su Yue made money last time, and was very confident in her craftsmanship. He just told her to be careful when selling it. After all, the situation is not so clear now.
Su Yue said: "Sister Xiaoqing, don't worry. I sell them to private individuals. Even if someone sees it, I will say that I will make something for my friends for the holidays. No one can say anything."
Li Xiaoqing thought about it, and said: "Then I will support you and I will set fire to you."
Su Yue grabbed her and told her her purpose of looking for her today, "Sister Xiaoqing, I want you to help me in the future, and I will give you 20% of the profit."
"Twenty percent? If it doesn't make it, I can't do anything, so I can only set a fire for you. How can I ask for your money."
Li Xiaoqing refused, but Su Yue said, "Sister Xiaoqing, you have also seen that I can't do anything by myself. I can't do anything without you. I'm sorry to ask you to help me. So if we cooperate, you can accept it. I am embarrassed to ask you to work if you accept it."
Li Xiaoqing thought for a while, and finally laughed, and nodded: "Thank you Su Yue, I will definitely help you. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Li Xiaoqing didn't have any money, and she was struggling. She knew that Su Yue was also helping her. She thanked her more and vowed to help her.
The two reached an agreement, and Su Yue started to cook. First put the soaked red beans in a pot and boil them. After they were overcooked, they were crushed into puree, and then put in the pot and fry on low heat. The oil and brown sugar, and then let it cool for later use.
After the bean paste filling was prepared, Su Yue brought sesame seeds and prepared a big pot of sesame filling according to her own method.
After the fillings were prepared, Su Yue began to knead the dough and make the mooncakes.
Making mooncakes is more difficult than making pastries. Su Yue and Li Xiaoqing have been busy in the kitchen for most of the day, until the genius of the moon is finally ready.
The other three knew that Su Yue was doing exclusive food, so they didn't come to watch it consciously. They were not without curiosity. The main reason was that they were afraid of offending Su Yue. Anyway, they have self-knowledge, even if it is the whole process of microscopic Su Yue, they don't have the ability to make such delicious things, so why bother to watch it.
Now they all know that Su Yue’s craftsmanship is good, and Su Yue is generous. Every time they make something delicious, they will be ordered. Therefore, their recent life is very good. What everyone is looking forward to now is Su Yue. The kitchen, therefore, everyone wanted to have a good relationship with Su Yue. Even Wei Jia, who hated the original owner Su Yue the most, has a good relationship with Su Yue.
So Su Yue was busy in the kitchen, and she was very satisfied with the situation.
Su Yue also lived up to everyone's expectations. At the breakfast table the next day, a plate of brightly colored and attractive moon cakes appeared on the table.
Everyone's eyes were straight, and everyone was amazed.
Su Yue assigned one to one person, and everyone was welcome, and started eating as soon as they got it. After tasting the taste, she naturally gave Su Yue countless thumbs to express her admiration.
At this time, the system's voice sounded again unexpectedly: Congratulations to the host, the moon cake was rated as c by the system, and it was a point.
With the sound of the system, the number on the points mall in Su Yue's mind changed again, from fourteen to twenty-four.
Su Yue's eyes widened in surprise, overjoyed.
twenty four! Her points finally exceeded 20 points! She can enter the mall!
The system promptly asks: Will the host enter the mall now?
Su Yue calmed down a bit and shook her head, "It won't work for the time being, I'm going to work soon, so I'll see it at night."
The mall can't run anyway.
System: Okay.
After breakfast, everyone went to work together.
Li Xiaoqing found an excuse to be a step slower with Su Yue, and said to Su Yue with a sad look: "Su Yue, I thought about it, although we can make things, but selling things is a problem. We educated youth have to go to work every day. Yes, there is no time to run to town at any time. If you always ask for leave, the captain and party secretary will not approve it. But now the weather is hot, and the food industry cannot be kept open, it will be broken."
Su Yue had thought about this a long time ago. It would definitely not work to rely on the two educated youths. They have to go to work every day to earn work points, and neither of them can do without. Things like collecting materials and feeding food are simply too busy.
Therefore, they really need to find someone to help.
And this person cannot be an educated youth, preferably a local.
Li Xiaoqing wrinkled her face, sad, "But we are not familiar with the people here, who can we call for help? Will they be willing to help?"
"I will also divide the profit for the person who helps, so it shouldn't be a problem to help, but the key is to find a reliable talent." If it is unreliable, it will be troublesome to cheat them for profit.
"Then do you want to find someone?"
Su Yue pondered, and said: "Sister Xiaoqing, I will say I am uncomfortable later, go back and I will find a way."
Li Xiaoqing agreed.
Su Yue took a leave of absence due to her physical discomfort, went home and took a few mooncakes, and then sneaked to Han Ai Country.
At this point, all the adults have gone to work, and the children have also gone out to play. It should be Han Aiguo alone at home.
Su Yue looked in from the gate, this time she didn't see Han Aiguo weaving bamboo baskets in the yard. The whole yard is quiet.
Su Yue lifted her foot and walked in, standing in the yard and shouting, "Is anyone home?"
"Who?" Han Aiguo opened the window and saw the slim girl standing in the courtyard at a glance.
Su Yue smiled sweetly at him, "Brother Han, it's me."
Han Aiguo paused for a while and came out of the room with the stick sticking to the ground. The stick made a "dongdongdong" sound.
He walked in front of her and asked in a flat voice: "What's the matter?"
Su Yue didn't care about his stern face, still smiling brightly, "Big Brother Han, I want to ask you for a favor, are you free?"
Han Aiguo paused and nodded.
Su Yue brought the moon cake to him and said, "Look, Brother Han, this is the moon cake I made. You can try it."
Two small snow-white palms, in the middle are two crystal clear moon cakes, I don't know which one is better.
Han Aiguo looked away and shook his head, "Just say it, I'll help if I can help. No need to bring anything. I already brought chicken cake last time."
The first time he heard him say so much, Su Yue was happy in her heart, tilted her head and smiled at him, and asked, "Then Brother Han, is the chicken cake I made delicious?"
Han Aiguo was uncomfortable. He lowered his gaze without looking at her. After a long while, he nodded and said honestly: "It's delicious."
Su Yue held the moon cake in her hand a little closer, "Brother Han, in fact, the thing I asked you for help is related to this moon cake. I made moon cakes and wanted to go to town to sell some money, but I want to work. Don’t tell me the time, walking back and forth is slow, it’s not convenient to do anything, so I want to find someone to help me, I will divide the profit for him. But I don’t know the people here, so I just want to ask you, you recommend me A reliable person, you must know the people in the village."
Han Aiguo listened to her quietly, looked at her eyes but became confused, "Why are you looking for me?"

Private selling is usually done secretly. It is better not to let people know, let alone outsiders. Isn't she afraid of being reported? Why did she take the initiative to tell him that she wanted to sell something?
Su Yue raised her head and blinked at him, "Because Brother Han, you are a good person, I believe you."
Han Aiguo's heart made a loud "boom", not knowing what to say for a while.
Seeing him as if frightened by her words, Su Yue smiled secretly in her heart, and then continued to say sternly: "Big Brother Han, I believe you are one of them. Second, I think about your brothers. Maybe someone can do this. I can trust someone you can say."
In fact, Su Yue wanted to make the money through Han Aiguo, so that the Han family could earn the money, so that the Han family would also remember Han Aiguo's goodness, and would not dislike him eating plain rice at home, and be kind to him.
But I don't know if the Han family can do the job. After all, she doesn't know the other three brothers in the Han family.
Han Aiguo really didn't know what to say about Su Yue, how could a girl trust him so well? Just because I borrowed her flour last time? But she would lend it to her even if she went to another house.
She believes in people so easily, can she really do business?
Su Yue didn't know Han Ai's concern about her, she directly stuffed the mooncake in her hand into his arms, and then retreated easily, "Brother Han, help me think about it, I'll come to you tonight."
Han Aiguo wanted to stop her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the mooncake in his hand, which seemed to carry the warmth from her.
Looking at the moon cake in his hand, Han Aiguo thought for a while and took it back to his room. It's not that she is reluctant to give it to her family. It is really impossible to tell the source of this mooncake. The family will definitely wonder why she had come to him. Moreover, too many people knew that she wanted to sell something to her disadvantage.
As for what she said about asking him to introduce someone to do something, he also had a personal choice in his heart, but he still had to wait for his mother to come back and talk to his mother. After all, if this matter was done, he couldn't hide it from his mother.
At noon, the other people hadn't got off work yet, so the old lady Han came back early to cook lunch.
Han Aiguo called his mother to his room.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Han Aiguo quietly took out the mooncakes to his mother.
Old lady Han was surprised, "Boss, where did you get the mooncakes?"
Han Aiguo told him about Su Yue's visit.
The old lady Han was really surprised. She scanned Han Aiguo's face for a few times, but when she saw his expression as usual, she was a little muttered in her heart, but she couldn't tell why she didn't dare to talk nonsense, she had to put it in her heart and asked. Started business: "Then what do you think? The girl finally asked you to help. You can't help but."
Han Aiguo: "Mother, I just want to tell you about this. I have a personal choice in my heart. What do you think of the fourth brother?"
"You mean the fourth child?" Old lady Han was taken aback, "but the fourth child is only twelve years old."
Han Aiguo nodded, "Mother, I think the fourth child is very suitable. The fourth child can't do much farm work. If other people in the family do this, it will delay earning work points. Another, the fourth child is also clever, but not slippery. He often runs around in villages and towns, and he can do this well."
The old lady Han began to ponder, and clapped her hands for a while and said, "I think it's okay, I can't guarantee other people, but I dare to say that the fourth child of our family will never cheat on the educated youth of Su, nor will I be lazy, but I can lend it to the educated youth of Su. Make."
The old lady stood up hastily as she said, "I'll go talk to the fourth child."
That night, while Su Yue and the others were having dinner, the old lady Han came to her home.
Su Yue didn't expect the old lady Han to come in person, and quickly invited people into her room to speak.
The old lady Han first looked at Su Yue's house, and after reading it, she took her hand with emotion and said, "Good girl, your living conditions here are too bad, and you are wronged."
Su Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "Educated youths who are not wronged are like this."
The old lady Han looked at Su Yue's face carefully again, the more she looked, the better she looked, the more she looked, the more she liked it, she couldn't help rubbing her hand until she was embarrassed to see Su Yue, this time she was shocked. I scared others, and I quickly laughed and started talking about the business: "Xiao Su, I know what you said to my patriotism. My patriotism has found someone for you. You can listen to it."
Su Yue became serious: "Who?"
Mrs. Han said: “It’s my fourth son, twelve years old this year. Don’t look at him as a young man, but he is clever. Sometimes our family can’t make money to buy things in the town commune because it makes my fourth son run errands, and sometimes Most of the eggs in the house are sold by the fourth child. The kid has never made a mistake."
Su Yue blinked. She thought that the Korean Patriotic Association would recommend the Han family's second child or the Han family's third child, but she did not expect it to be the fourth child of a child.
But listening to what the auntie said, it seems that the fourth child is indeed suitable. The child can't earn a few work points in the village. If he doesn't work at home and has nothing to do, it is just right for this.
At this time, the old lady Han continued: "Xiaosu, the aunt did not recommend my fourth child because he was greedy for your money, and my patriotism is not such a person. You see, we didn't let my second and third children do it. I recommend my fourth child not only because he can do this, but also because he is not a boast of being a mother. My fourth child is like his elder brother in character, smart but not slippery or lazy. He is responsible and serious in doing things. I won’t cheat you if you hold back. If you think it’s okay, I’ll let my fourth son give you a try."
Su Yue hurriedly said: "Mother, you are too polite. You are willing to let the fourth child help me run errands. I should thank you. You and Han said that the fourth child is OK, and the fourth child is absolutely fine. I can trust you. ."
After hearing this, the old lady Han was as happy as something, and the unspeakable thought in her heart was about to move. However, she also kept her eyes on her. She didn't rush to say it. She wanted to see it again. She just said, "That's okay, Xiao Su, I will ask my fourth child to sell you mooncakes tomorrow morning. I told him all about it. Yes, he won't talk nonsense, so don't worry."
Su Yue: "Mother, please trouble the fourth child to come to me tomorrow morning. I have a place to tell him to go."
Mrs. Han readily agreed, and then stood up and said, "The aunt will not delay your meal, go and eat, the aunt will go home to eat."
Su Yue sent people to the door, and went back to continue eating until they couldn't see them.
Others asked Mrs. Han why she came, and she said thank you for the cake she sent last time, and the others didn't doubt anything.
Only Li Xiaoqing almost knew what Su Yue and Mrs. Han were doing.
The seller was also found, and Su Yue sighed with relief. After washing, she lay on the bed and finally had time to think about the mall.
Now her points have reached twenty-four points and can enter the mall.
Really look forward to it.
Su Yue called the system: "System, I want to enter the mall."
The system immediately replied: Good host, now open the mall for you to enter the authority.
In the next second, a door appeared in Su Yue's mind. She thought of opening the door, and the door opened automatically, and her consciousness entered the door.
The world inside the gate is the system mall.
The space here seems to be infinite. There are many display stands floating in the air. Each display stand has a product. On the front panel of the display stand there is the name of the product and related introduction.
Su Yue looked over one by one and found that the products here are really dazzling, with a wide variety of varieties, and all kinds of uses. It is a bit like a treasure from a previous life, and it looks very kind.
There are so many things that Su Yue won't be able to see it for a while, she actually has what she wants to see the most anxiously in her heart.
"System, I want to see a prescription that can treat Han Aiguo's legs."
As soon as Su Yue finished saying this, a display stand appeared in front of her. On it was a piece of antique rice paper with many words written on it in a fluent brush, but unfortunately, she couldn’t see what the words were. .
The system reminded her at this moment: This is a prescription for treating leg injuries specially researched by a genius doctor in ancient times. It happens to treat Han Aiguo's leg, but it has been lost in later generations. At present, the host cannot see the contents of the recipe, and only after redeeming the recipe can he see clearly.
Su Yue hurried to check the number of points on the panel.
Unexpectedly, this look caused her to take a breath.
Eight hundred points!
Eight hundred points!
Su Yue confirmed it back and forth three times, and it was indeed eight hundred points.
Su Yue felt that her heart couldn't bear it. I think she has earned 24 points for so many days of hard work, but this recipe alone costs 800 points. Then when will she earn enough points for this recipe?
It's so far away~
Su Yue asked the system without tears, "System, are you kidding me for being so expensive?"
System answer: The host and the things in the mall are all awarded corresponding points based on its value. This prescription can heal leg injuries that cannot be treated by medicine in this era. It is of great value to you and Han Aiguo, so it takes 800 points to exchange it. Host, there is nothing you can get for nothing, I hope you continue to work hard.
Su Yue sighed deeply, rubbed her hair, feeling the long way to go.
I hope she can save 800 points sooner.
