Chapter 102 Tired
“What does it mean?” Lin Shu handed the pawn ticket to Gu Jiu again.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He noticed that Lin Shu's eyebrows were about to stand up, and he immediately explained: "This is a pawn ticket from the Republic of China period, and it is a horse-head clock. As for the pawn shop, it must have been closed a long time ago."
Lin Shu snatched the pawn ticket and said coldly: "It's still useful to find one."
Gu Jiu scratched his nose. Forget it, don’t argue with women.
Seeing her putting the pawn ticket into her pocket, he had to remind her: "This pawn ticket is already waste paper."
"It's waste paper now, but it might be a cultural relic in the future. I even look at it with curiosity. In the next few decades, future generations will find it even more rare." As he said this, Lin Shu felt that it was not safe to carry it in his pocket, so he transferred the pawn ticket into the system storage compartment.
Lin Wei pointed to the four silver coins and a dozen copper coins that had just been cleared on the table, "Little sister, these are more valuable than pawn tickets, they should be more valuable for collection, right?"
Lin Shu: "Of course, later on, you two will take some of these things back to collect and pass them on to future generations."
"We don't want them, you can keep them for yourselves."
This time Lin Wei and Lin Guang refused to ask for anything. Lin Shu paid for this house, and the things in it belong to her. What's going on with them asking for more than a dozen copper coins? Don't let anyone take it lightly.
The two brothers refused, and Lin Shu said nothing more.
"Little sister, how are you going to renovate this house?" Lin Guang asked.
Lin Shu pointed to the top of his head: "First clean up the inside of the house, and then repair the roof when the weather is fine. Replace the tiles and rotten beams. The wooden floors on the second floor are somewhat rotten. It also needs to be replaced. I plan to replace the floor on the first floor with terrazzo and make the windows wider and larger.” Wasted.”
The two brothers were frightened. This must be a lot of money. They glanced at Gu Jiu, fearing that he would have objections.
"Where is the waste? I have my own use." Lin Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at the two brothers: "Eldest brother, second brother, have you ever thought about opening a canteen in the city?"
“Commissary?”
“Well, it’s the same as supply and marketing. It’s just that the quantity of things you buy is not that large, such as tobacco, alcohol, snacks, grains, oils, seasonings, daily necessities, hardware, etc., they can all be sold in the canteen.”
The brothers were frightened when they heard that it was the same as the supply and marketing cooperative. I was shocked, where did they get the ability to open a small supply and marketing cooperative?
Lin Wei waved his hand: "Little sister, it should cost a lot to open such a canteen. You also know that most of the family's savings have been used to buy the third child's job. How can the family still find the money to open a canteen for us? ? We can't open it. "
Lin Shu smiled: "Okay, let's wait until my house is ready. Now I don't know if I can get a business license."
Gu Jiu: "That's it. I'll go back and ask the old man at home about it. , since there is a policy from above, let’s see if it reaches the grassroots level.”
Lin Shu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she almost forgot about the young master at home, “Okay, I’ll leave this to you. Let's arrange this first The house was being renovated. "
It had been rainy for several days, and it had been sunny for two days. When the road was dry, Gu Jiu ran to a nearby village and found a bricklayer who was building the house. Renovate the old house over there.
Next, he not only has to go to nearby villages to buy the herbs he arranged for people to dig back, but he also has to take care of the renovation of the old house.
Lin Shu originally planned to go into the mountains again, but seeing people running in and out every day, he not only tanned, but also seemed to lose some weight.
I can’t bear it.
This is not going to send him away again. Lin Shu bought a pig's trotter and a five-pound silver carp in the system mall. He was going to stew the pig's trotters to replenish his body. The fish was made into minced pepper fish at noon. Head, make some braised fish cubes tonight. At noon, I watched him come back with several bags of herbs. Lin Shu helped unload the herbs and said, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. They bring the herbs themselves. We weigh and settle directly with them. It's simple and trouble-free." .”
Gu Jiu also felt that this was not a long-term solution. "I wanted them to send it by themselves, but we don't have a place to store it at the moment. Send it to home. I don't want business matters to disturb the normal life at home. Send it to my hometown." Over there at the house, it’s still under renovation.”
Actually, the most important thing is that the brothers don’t have bicycles, so it’s too hard to carry them to the city on their shoulders.
"According to what you say, we can only wait until the old house is repaired?" Lin Shu helped unload the sacks, then filled a basin of hot water and asked him to come over and wash his face.
Gu Jiu smiled while washing his face: "Well, when it is repaired over there, let them deliver the goods there."
After a while, if they want to deliver the goods themselves , maybe people who have made money are willing to buy a bicycle to carry goods.
After washing his face and sitting at the table, he looked at a large basin of pig's feet soup and a huge basin of fish heads in shock. Gu Jiu asked in shock: "Honey, are you planning to eat all our meat for a month in this meal?" Is it time to eat?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t be without your meat in the future.” Lin Shu felt it was bitter and funny, so he filled up half a bowl of pig’s feet for him.
In this era, everything is rationed. Let alone eating meat with an open stomach, even if you want to eat with an open stomach, it is not possible.
Gu Jiu felt that since getting married, his living standard has directly improved by more than one level. The pig's feet were stewed until the bones and flesh separated. When you bite it, it is sticky. In the words of his wife, it is full of collagen. .
“Did you get these meat tickets from the black market?”
Gu Jiu couldn't figure out where he could get so many meat tickets without going to the black market.
Lin Shu didn’t want to explain. Since he had already thought of the excuses for her, let’s just go to the black market.
After eating and resting for half an hour, Gu Jiu rode out again.
He first went to the old house to take a look, and then went to a nearby village to buy goods. After the goods are brought up in the afternoon, I will come over to the old house and wait for the masters to leave and lock the door.
I came over to lock the door in the evening, but I didn’t expect to see two uncles here to help.
"Eldest brother, second brother, are you on vacation again?"
"Well, I came back in the afternoon. I just happened to come over to see the progress of your renovation." Lin Wei and Lin Guang were both helping to deliver new tiles piece.
Gu Jiu took out filter cigarettes from his trouser pocket and spread the cigarettes for everyone. When they were all gone, he gave the remaining cigarettes to Lin Wei.
Lin Guang held the cigarette under his nose, smelled it, and joked: "The cigarettes in your pocket as a non-smoker are better than those of us who smoke."
Gu Jiu: "Shu Shu doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. Besides, it's much easier to communicate with people if you have a cigarette in your pocket."
The Lin Wei brothers looked at each other again, with smiles in their eyes. They had lived together for twenty years. How come they didn't know that Lin Shu didn't like the smell of smoke?
Everyone was smoking and flipping over the last tiles, and the masters left.
Gu Jiu put the things away, checked each room, and then locked the door if there was no problem, "Shu Shu cooks at home, and the eldest brother and the second brother go home to eat together?"
"Okay, Let’s get together.”
The brothers are not pretentious.
Lin Shu had just finished cooking, and when he saw his two brothers arriving, he immediately scrambled a large plate of eggs.
