Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 139: Good-looking can't be eaten
The two families agreed that they would find a place to build a house after the Chinese New Year and open the food processing workshop that Jiang Tian mentioned.
There is no way at the moment. The winters here are extremely cold. After winter comes, the soil underground is frozen and cannot be dug. If we want to build a house, we can only wait until the spring thaws.
However, smoked fish can be made first.
The next day, Jiang Tian called Han Jisong's village and asked the villagers to tell him to come to the store to find her.
Han Jisong rushed over on his bike after receiving the call.
After not seeing him for a few days, this guy actually bought himself a tricycle!
"Where is your bicycle?" Jiang Tian asked him.
Han Jisong chuckled and said, "Sold it! The two-wheeled one is not practical, the three-wheeled one is more practical, and it has a cargo box at the back, which can hold a lot of things."
Jiang Tian knew that Han Jisong had been going to various markets recently to set up stalls to sell hairtail, and she did not dare to waste his time, so she hurriedly explained her own affairs to him.
"That's the thing. Many customers come to ask if I sell my smoked fish. It's free money, so why not make some?"
Han Jisong nodded: "That's right! If you don't make money from the money that comes to your door, are you going to wait for others to eat from your pot?"
"I've taken note of what you said. I'll go find a source of goods for you this afternoon."
Han Jisong couldn't help laughing and teased Jiang Tian, "Your fortune is really impressive!"
Jiang Tian looked at him in confusion and blinked.
Han Jisong blushed at her beautiful big eyes, lowered his head and rubbed the yellow mud on the soles of his shoes, and explained after a long time -
"Last year, many people rented ponds to raise fish. They thought they would make a fortune during the Chinese New Year after working hard for a year."
"Who knew that there were so many people raising fish, and everyone was crowding in before the Chinese New Year to clean the ponds and sell the fish, so the price of fish in the countryside has dropped sharply this year."
"Wait a minute. I'll go ask around for you today to see who has the right fish for the right price. By the way, what kind of fish do you want?"
"Grass carp or black carp are definitely better for smoking fish. Silver carp is also OK. Carp and crucian carp are not recommended."
After talking about business, Jiang Tian took out an aluminum lunch box and filled it with smoked fish for Han Jisong.
"Take it back for your grandfather to try. Everyone says that my smoked fish is delicious and you can't buy it outside."
Han Jisong took the smoked fish, took out a bag of sesame candy from his bag and handed it to Jiang Tian.
"Last time when I was at the market, a candy seller wanted to trade sesame candy for hairtail. I traded a few bags for you to try."
The two friends who were sharing the delicious food with each other had no idea how horrifying their behavior seemed to other people in the Hu family.
"Is Tiantian attracted to that fishmonger?"
My aunt almost had the word "disagree" carved on her face.
It's not that Han Jisong is a bad guy. This guy is so handsome that he doesn't look like a country boy . Not to mention a little girl like Jiang Tian, even a married woman like my aunt couldn't help but take a few more glances at Han Jisong.
But, good looks cannot be eaten!
I heard that Xiao Han was an abandoned baby, picked up and raised by an old bachelor who worked as a fisherman. The grandfather and grandson still live in a shabby thatched house in the village. How could Tiantian marry into such a family?
My aunt could almost imagine how angry my mother-in-law would be when she knew about this.
The second aunt was quite confident in Jiang Tian, she felt that Jiang Tian was not the kind of person who would fall in love. The eldest aunt couldn't convince her, so she hurried to find Grandma Hu to tell her.
Jiang Tian had no idea that her family had already started to worry about her falling in love too early.
How can she have time for premature love?
After seeing Han Jisong off, Jiang Tian put on rain boots, took a box of smoked fish, and went to the breakfast shop.
Wang Chunjuan knows a lot of people, so Jiang Tian wanted to ask her for help and find out where she could buy a machine that can seal and package.
"It doesn't matter if it's second-hand, as long as it can be used." Jiang Tian briefly told Wang Chunjuan about his requirements for the machine.
Wang Chunjuan really didn't expect that this dies sister she adopted would grow her business so big in just a few months.
Not only did she gain a firm foothold on the provincial highway, but she also caused all the nearby restaurants to come to her place to copy her business.
Fortunately, Hu Qiongfang was not stupid. After suffering a loss while selling hairtail, he realized that he had to be on guard against other people's tricks when doing business - who knows if there are "spies" from other restaurants among the guests who come in to eat?
After talking about serious matters, Wang Chunjuan asked whether their family would return to the village for the New Year this year or stay in the new house.
Jiang Tian has never thought about this question.
Wang Chunjuan also laughed after asking this question.
Jiang Tian made her feel like a little adult, so much so that she sometimes even forgot that Jiang Tian was still a little girl. How could a child have a say in where to spend the New Year?
After hearing what Wang Chunjuan said, Jiang Tian was also a little puzzled.
Normally, at this time of year in previous years, the New Year atmosphere in the countryside would have been very strong, and those who had gone out to do odd jobs during the slack season would have returned. But this year, their family only went back to visit the graves once during the winter solstice, and grandma and grandpa never said a word about where they were going to celebrate the New Year.
When I think about it, time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, 1985 is almost over.
Next year she will only have half a year at most to help with housework. In the second half of the year, she will have to take the first-grade courses again with the new first-grade students.
Jiang Tian thought there was nothing to be ashamed of. She was a poor student to begin with, and the purpose of continuing to go to school was to get a junior high school diploma.
As for high school and technical secondary school? That was the battlefield for the top students. If she, a poor student, went to fight with them, wouldn't she be cannon fodder? She didn't want to .
After returning from the breakfast shop, Hu Qiongfang had already bought a dozen grass carps as long as her arms. She and two aunties who were helping her were squatting on the ground, killing the fish.
Grandma Hu was also busy, making dumplings with her two daughters-in-law.
Seeing Jiang Tian coming back, Grandma Hu wiped her hands and called her granddaughter to the inner room.
Her granddaughter has always been very shrewd. Not to mention compared with her peers, even compared with adults like Hu Qiongfang, she is much more cunning.
Grandma Hu didn't beat around the bush and asked her directly what she thought of Han Jisong.
What?
Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment, completely stunned by her grandma's imagination.
Could it be what she thought?
When her grandmother saw her talking to Han Jisong, she mistakenly thought that she was dating Han?
"Grandma! I'm only twelve years old!"
Even if it's puppy love, it's too early, right?
Grandma Hu glared at her coldly: "It's too late! You're only twelve years old, and you've already helped your mother run such a big business. Ask our family, who dares to treat you as a child?"
Because Jiang Tian has always presented herself as mature, steady and able to make her own decisions in front of her family, Grandma Hu respects her granddaughter's opinion and wants to ask Jiang Tian what kind of partner she plans to find.
Otherwise, if someone else, even if she was Grandma Hu's granddaughter, dared to date at the age of twelve? Break her legs immediately!
