After eating the shredded pork noodles, Zhou Ziwen came out of the state-owned hotel with satisfaction.
After touching the money in his pocket, Zhou Ziwen felt better.
He also didn’t expect that the old turtle actually bought two hundred and fifty yuan. Such a large amount of money was enough for him and his two sisters to live for a long time.
“What an unexpected surprise!”
Zhou Ziwen patted his trouser pockets, but he wanted to spend a lot of money.
Speaking of which, the three-turn and one-ring sound in his house is all he needs is a sewing machine.
It just so happens that Chen Qiaoyi is also pregnant. There will definitely be a lot of clothes for the baby in the future. It is not cost-effective to buy them, so it is better to make them yourself.
He has not forgotten that Chen Shiying also has a pair of skillful hands.
But buying a sewing machine requires a ticket, which is not easy to do.
“How about going to the black market?”
On the way home, Zhou Ziwen thought of a way.
In this era, you need a ticket to buy anything. Even if you have money, you can’t buy everything.
……
“No ticket?”
“If you don’t have a ticket, come to me!”
Back in the village, Zhou Ziwen found Wu Dagang.
Originally, he wanted to ask where the black market was, but when he heard that Zhou Ziwen wanted to buy a sewing machine, Wu Dagang immediately patted his chest.
"Uncle Wu, do you have a ticket here?"
Zhou Ziwen asked in surprise.
“I don’t have one. This thing is not suitable for eating and drinking. What am I going to do here?”
Wu Dagang shook his head.
"Then why are you talking about this?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen was a little disappointed.
"Although I don't have it, there are people who do. Don't worry, I will go get it for you tomorrow."
Wu Dagang said confidently.
"Does anyone have one?"
Zhou Ziwen was a little confused.
“Are you stupid?” Wu Dagang shook his head and explained, “This time mushrooms were grown in the mushroom cultivation base, and it was a bumper harvest. The commune made a lot of money, and these are all your contribution. , it just so happens that the commune hasn’t given you a reward yet. I’ll go find President Fu tomorrow. He will definitely have a ticket.”
“Isn’t this good?”
Zhou Ziwen hesitated. , but I quite agree with it in my heart.
Just like Wu Dagang said, he grew mushrooms and the commune also made money, especially the leaders. With this opportunity, there might be a chance to go further.
Aren’t these all his contributions?
"What's wrong with this? Don't worry. I'll go talk to President Fu and I'll definitely get one for you." Wu Dagang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you for everything. They are all members of my family." Wu Dagang waved his hand, then patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder, "You kid, you have made a great contribution this time, and I didn't even have time to thank you!"
"Uncle Wu, please stop making fun of me." Zhou Ziwen shook his head, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
After chatting with Wu Dagang for a while, Zhou Ziwen went home.
It was still early and the two sisters had not left work.
After arriving home, Zhou Ziwen was not idle. He first went to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing that there were enough ingredients, he planned to cook something delicious for the two sisters in the evening.
Thinking that Chen Qiaoyi was pregnant with a child, Zhou Ziwen decided to make chicken soup.
He remembered that there seemed to be a few old hens in the backyard, and it happened that two of them had stopped laying eggs, so they could be used to stew soup.
So, he went to the backyard, caught an old hen, and started to deal with it.
After taking care of the hens, Zhou Ziwen began to prepare the soup.
He first put some water in the pot, then added ginger slices, green onion segments and cooking wine. After the fire came to a boil, he put the processed hen into the pot.
Then, he turned down the heat and simmered slowly, allowing the deliciousness of the chicken to fully come out.
While the soup was stewing, Zhou Ziwen was not idle. He used this time to prepare other ingredients. He cut some carrots, potatoes and mushrooms, which were grown in the ground and were fresh and healthy.
When the chicken soup was almost simmering, he put these ingredients into the pot, added a little nourishing herbs, and continued to stew.
After a while, the whole kitchen was filled with a strong aroma. Zhou Ziwen smelled it and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that this pot of chicken soup would definitely make the two sisters praise it.
After simmering the chicken soup, Zhou Ziwen made some side dishes.
He uses his cooking skills to transform simple ingredients into delicious dishes.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhou Ziwen felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi came back.
As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of the food and suddenly felt hungry.
"Brother Ziwen, what delicious food did you cook?" Chen Qiaoyi asked excitedly.
"I stewed chicken soup and made some side dishes." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
“Wow, it smells so good!” Chen Qiaoyi couldn’t help but praise.
“Okay, let’s eat!”
Zhou Ziwen said.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi washed their hands, then sat at the table and began to enjoy the delicious dinner.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Ziwen took out the money from selling Lao Turtle today.
"Sister, Yiyi, I sold the old turtle at home." Looking at their surprised looks, Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"So much? Brother Ziwen, how much is this?"
The two sisters were shocked when they saw so much money.
"It just sold for two hundred and fifty yuan." Zhou Ziwen answered.
"How come there are so many? That old turtle is so valuable?" Chen Qiaoyi took the money and counted it several times in his hand, but still couldn't believe it.
You know, in this day and age, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only about twenty or two hundred and fifty yuan, which is a huge sum of money!
“Yeah, I didn’t expect to sell so many.” Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
He also didn’t expect that he would be so lucky that he would meet someone like Manager Li who was taken advantage of.
“Oh, did we eat hundreds of them before?”
Suddenly, Chen Qiaoyi screamed, her voice full of regret.
She still remembered that Zhou Ziwen caught an old turtle just a few days ago, and that old turtle was even bigger than this one.
If you sell it, you won’t be able to sell it for hundreds of dollars!
Just thinking about it made Chen Qiaoyi so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
"Okay, don't feel bad. It's just an old turtle. If you eat it, you can eat it. With your man's ability, let alone one old turtle, a group of them can be obtained for you."
Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head funnyly.
I didn’t expect this girl to be so obsessed with money.
"This is hundreds of dollars! If I had known it was so valuable, I wouldn't have eaten it."
Chen Qiaoyi was still a little unwilling.
A few hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. Even when she and her sister first went to the countryside, they only had two to three hundred yuan.
Zhou Ziwen looked at Chen Qiaoyi's regretful look and felt a little emotional.
"Okay, don't regret it. I have good news for you. Our family is going to have a sewing machine."
Zhou Ziwen held his wife's hand and began to change the topic.
“Sewing machine?” Chen Qiaoyi’s eyes widened when he heard this.
Chen Shiying on the side also looked over, her eyes full of inquiry.
"Yes, Yiyi is pregnant with the baby. The baby grows quickly. We will definitely make many sets for the baby in the future. It will be more convenient to have a sewing machine."
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
“Don’t you need a ticket to buy a sewing machine?”
Chen Shiying asked hesitantly.
Both Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi had no objections to Zhou Ziwen's purchase of a sewing machine.
In their family, Zhou Ziwen has always been in charge.
But whatever Zhou Ziwen wants to do, they will support it unconditionally.
“Don’t worry about the tickets, Uncle Wu said, he will help me take care of it.” Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Great! We will also have a sewing machine at home in the future." Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi jumped up with joy. (End of this chapter)
