During the half-month exhibition, Jiangliu received more than 20 orders from eight countries. This achievement is not top-notch in the entire exhibition, but for the people on the team, it has already It was a surprise to dig into a gold mine.

However, due to the large number of orders, some skilled workers on the team alone can no longer meet the need to complete the production within the specified time. At the same time, the raw materials such as thatch and reed straw in the saline-alkali fields of the three teams where the river flows are gradually gradual. Not enough for production. Fortunately, Jiangliu has already made sufficient preparations for this.

He proposed to the captain Guan Daniel to distribute the work of receiving soles to several other production teams of the Red Star Commune.

As soon as the technical content of the sole is low, in the countryside, as long as it is a woman, there is no one who can't accept the sole. The sole required by the rivers has a little more technical content, but it can also be taught in one teaching.To contract out this task, the people on the team only need to focus on high-tech, and temporarily belong to the team's secret technology for the upper woven straw, which greatly shortens the construction time.

Secondly, the raw materials on the team are exhausted, and they have a lot of saline land. Many production teams are still worrying about the endless thatch in the field. Give them a little sweetness, and they can naturally buy raw materials from other production teams. At the same time, although the policy has changed, in the next few years, the commune and brigade cadres will still have relatively high rights, sacrifice a little bit of interest to sell to the commune leaders, and maintain with other production teams. Good mutual aid relationship is also a good thing for their three teams.

Jiang Liu's heart was clear, and as expected, when Guan Daniu sent the proposal to the commune, he received unanimous praise from the leaders of the commune.

A pair of insoles cost fifty cents. For women in the countryside, they can make at least two pairs a day, so a month is 30 yuan. At this time, the average salary of the best-paid workers is about 30 yuan. .

For the villagers, a pair of shoes can sell for about 12.7 yuan, excluding the 1.27 tuition fee for Jiangliu, and the two yuan of thank you deduction for the promotion of this business, and then get rid of the five cents insole expenses and With the cost of raw materials and making a pair of uppers, they can make a net profit of more than seven yuan.

Although this shoe upper is relatively time-consuming to produce due to the surprise of the pattern, it can still make a pair of even one-and-a-half uppers after a day. For skilled workers, it earns three or four hundred a month. One dollar is not a big problem.

If you are grateful, you don’t know what to say. The people on the team are not stupid. They listen to the radio every day. They also know that the state encourages private buying and selling. However, if you are selfish, you can hide the real price of slippers and use one or two dollars. The wages sent everyone away and made a big head for themselves, even if it was one or two dollars, I believe everyone is still happy.

But he didn't. In addition to the tuition fees set before, even the hard work of two yuan per pair was proposed by the captain Guan Daniel. He was like a selfless saint in the mythology and changed the lives of all of them.

The people on the team did not know how to express their gratitude, and silently took the best things of their own home to Jiangliu.

Castrated male cock with the most body; the smoked bacon stored in pork the previous year; dried mushrooms and fungus; the first big goose egg born from a domestic goose...

Jiangliu made so much money that he hadn't waited for him to buy something. The live chickens and ducks sent by the villagers were enough for him to stop eating for the New Year.

In fact, this time he really did not particularly lose.

At first he thought about it, this matter should be given back to the points that everyone gave him. After all, the money is also available in the current world, and he feels comfortable with his ability, so he is Money is not in a hurry, but points are different. The world afterwards may become the key to his life. Therefore, the original intention of participating in the trade fair was Jiang Liu in return for those who gave him points.

I didn't think that this time he didn't use his brains and thought about the art of language. Guan Daniu still offered to give him two dollars of thanks for each pair of straw sandals. After all, he couldn't make a lot of money without him.

It seems that Jiangliu still suffered a loss, but Jiangliu actually thought he took the advantage.

After all, it’s just a matter of moving his mouth, but now he can lie down, he can get more than three pieces of each pair of straw shoes, this time he received more than 24,000 pairs of straw shoes orders, remove himself For that part, I can earn more than 70,000 "hard work".

Ten thousand years of households are rare this year. He is good, and he is half a step away from 100,000 households. As long as it is properly operated and the money is properly invested, there will be no worries in the rest of his life.

Jiang Liu thought, could this be a "blessing" that was erroneous?

Before the New Year’s Eve, although the orders had not been completed yet, the people on the team still put down a little work in preparation for the New Year.

All in all, because of the low standard of living, the team has not been lively and lively for more than a year. This time, because of the money received from the previous orders, most people on the team have suddenly become " The "rich" family, this time, could have just given up the New Year.

Because there are many people going to the county to purchase, Guan Daniu also rented a truck from the commune with great enthusiasm, and delivered the car to the members who wanted to catch up.

Miao Caifeng was also quick-witted. One and a half years ago, she earned 400 yuan by knitting shoe uppers. This time she will naturally purchase her new goods.

She has heard that now the county has opened several tailor shops, and she can buy clothes without cloth tickets. She and the old man have not made new clothes for many years. This time she earned some money and had to give herself and the old man Cut out new clothes.

There are also her baby son and daughter-in-law, as well as two baby grandchildren who passed on to her from the old Jiang family lineage.

As for the daughter-in-law Wang Xuemei, she is not within the care of Miao Caifeng. These days she looked at the clumsy daughter-in-law and got angry. She obviously taught her for so long, but she couldn't even make a shoe upper. Think about the other on the team. This time, Wang Xuemei, who has earned a thousand or two dollars, is no different from the prostitutes in her heart.

"Sister Miao, how can you say that Jiangliu's child is so clever? We listen to the foreign language on the radio just like listening to the Tianshu, but Jiangliu patiently learns and can communicate directly with foreigners. Those high-intellectuals who go to college may not be as clever as the river."

Several women sitting opposite Miao Caifeng made a wink at each other, then asked teasingly at Miao Caifeng.

At first, Miao Caifeng took this son as grass and the younger son as a treasure. The eldest son only allowed him to read until the fifth grade of elementary school, and said that there was a lack of labor at home, and the youngest son was comfortable. If I go to high school, if the environment is not good afterwards, I will probably have to go to school if the high school is suspended.

But in fact, the younger son's talent is not good, except for the Miao Caifeng couple who thought he could stand out, no one thought that Jiang Hai was really the material for reading.

You must know that the college entrance examination resumed the year before, and Jiang Hai also secretly went to take the exam. Everyone heard Miao Caifeng’s bragging at that time, and he was the first college student in the village. The result was good. After more than a hundred points, I don't know if I was in school when I was studying.

By contrast, Jiangliu’s child is so pitiful. He can communicate with foreigners as often as he likes to study. Such a smart child, if the Jiang’s family offered him a book, would it be that the other party had already become a college student. Home Guangzong Yaozu.

Especially compared to the deep-minded rivers and seas, the rivers are plain and loyal. At first, how good he was to the Miao Caifeng couple. If they were not overly forced, and it is very likely that they will not be able to bear children, the rivers will be developed. The Miao Caifeng couple is definitely one of the most benefited people.

Unlike now, although they still live under the same roof after separation, the two basically do not communicate with each other and are no different from strangers.

"Just a little smart."

Miao Caifeng looked down at her face and looked at the women across from her with her lips drooping. She knew that those people were reading her jokes, but Miao Caifeng was firm in her mind. No matter what she thought, she always remained living.

"Oh, it's still a little clever, according to your comparison, the big cleverness in your heart can be heaven."

A few women across the house laughed: "If I could have such a smart son, I would like to die for ten years."

"Yeah, thanks to Liu Zi, an old lady can wear leather shoes during her lifetime. I heard that leather shoes are so soft, and I don't get tired of wearing leather shoes. I walk faster than I don't know if this is the case. ."

Because I only heard the description, but did not actually wear leather shoes. At this time, leather shoes have already sublimated to the fetish in the hearts of these simple farmers.

Seeing that Miao Caifeng's face was too thick, the women did not amuse her, and turned to talk about the purchase of new year's goods.

Country life in this era is indeed bitter. Many people have never known what it is like to wear leather shoes and tendon-bottomed shoes. They can only use local materials, cut their uppers with straw shoes or clothes that are too bad to wear. Many The countrymen even kept the habit of walking barefoot. The thick cocoons on the soles of the feet did not feel pain when walking on the stone road.

It is also because of this. In the early years, there were pedicures who helped people cope with pedicures in the countryside. It was only later that these peddlers were severely beaten, and the pedicures gradually disappeared in life.

The thought of being able to put on soft leather shoes like the people in the city, the people in the car couldn't help but show a big smile.

"You said that those foreigners are so strange, good leather shoes don't like to wear, they like to wear straw shoes?"

"What do you know, that's the ability of Liuzi to be replaced by any of us, who can have the brain to think that these shoes can be sold to foreigners."

"Hey, hey, I don't care what foreigners think, I know I can buy a pair of rebound shoes for my son, and let our children show their faces at school."

Miao Caifeng was sitting in the corner, and no one was willing to talk to her. Such a lively atmosphere, except her.

Ever since her son Jiang flowed out of tolerance, she began to get used to this kind of environment.

Miao Caifeng builds for herself in her heart, no matter how stiff she is with her elder son, anyway, this does not prevent her from making money, as long as the life is good, why should she care about what other people think, let me say it again, they have sex The person who praised was not from her stomach. The other person was excellent. That was also her bloodline. Her heritage, she didn’t need to be unhappy.

As for the true thoughts in her heart, only she herself knew.

*****

Because of receiving too many thanks, Jiangliu did not go to the county to purchase new year's goods.

Today he wants to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. He got up early in the morning to make a hot pot. By noon, the chicken broth was already stewed. Even if the lid was covered, the fragrance continued to penetrate through the gaps, and he was domineering. Drill in the nose.

Although the family now has money, Xu Xiuxiu still maintains the frugal and rustic nature. These days, he makes shoes with other members and wants to make more money.

In contrast, the river flow was lazy. He saw that his wife could not afford the money. She simply contracted for three meals a day. She wandered in the yard every day to see which chicken and duck were fat enough to eat. The big flesh made the yellow and thin daughter-in-law fill up the white and fat, and it was gratifying to watch.

These days Xu Xiuxiu's appetite is much larger, perhaps because the chicken stewed with mushrooms is very appetizing. After the river stopped the chopsticks, she ate the remaining half of the chicken and a large pot of soup. , I still don't think I'm full, I ate half a pack of peach crispy seams, and then took the job of washing the dishes with a hiccup.

Although it was a good thing for the daughter-in-law to eat, Jiang Liu looked at the daughter who suddenly had an appetite, and she noticed something was wrong.
