Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 64

Jiahui and Zhou Ruosen finally decided to arrange a short story to introduce the campus. Zhou Ruosen played a foreign tourist visiting Wudong University, and Jiahui played a student of the school.

At the beginning of the plot, Zhou Ruosen pretended to be visiting the campus, and from time to time he showed a confused expression.

As a foreign tourist, he naturally doesn’t understand Chinese characters, such as the school motto and inscriptions of the school monument.

At this time, Dong Jiahui, who was holding a book in front of her chest, passed by, and the foreign friend played by Zhou Ruosen called her.

“Hello! Iamafhisismyfirsttimetotravelthisuy. Could you please introducethemaincampusforme?”

The female student played by Jiahui readily agreed and led him from the school gate to introduce the school’s history, culture and campus environment one by one.

They crossed the boulevard, passed the small garden and the school building, and finally reached the school’s auditorium.

Jiahui pointed to the auditorium and said, “Thereisamemorialtomembersofwoods,othenateoftheschool. It’saquietandfortablepce, Ihopeyouwilllikeit.”

Zhou Ruosen pretended to be a serious visitor, and exclaimed.

Finally, Zhou Ruosen bid Jiahui farewell, and Jiahui smiled and wished him “Haveaniceday”.

This skit is very simple in Jiahui’s view. The English skits in the former school are all “Shakespeare”. The reason why it is so simple is that the English level of most students is taken into account. This is true, but there are still some The students don’t understand the words very well.

The professor was quite satisfied. After the two returned to their seats, the professor stood on the podium and spoke.

“The short play of the two students was very well done, and other students should also see the gap between each other. There is no shortcut to learning a foreign language. Only continuous memory and practice can make progress. Everyone should use Dong Jiahui and Zhou Ruosen as examples. By role models, learn from them and catch up with them. I believe that by the end of this semester, you can reach this level.”

The class was quiet. Everyone was really shocked. I thought I had a good English score, but there are some outsiders, but now there is not only a sense of superiority, but also makes people feel inferior.

With this stimulus, everyone is more motivated to learn. They wake up every morning to recite vocabulary. They are everywhere on campus, which is exactly what the professor needs.

On Sunday, school was closed for a day. Jiahui and Zhao Donglin took their children out together and went around the city. Jiahui also wanted to see if there were any good ideas that could make money without delaying class.

In the provincial capital in 1978, there were not many shops and restaurants. There were a few eateries on the street, such as rice sticks, rice cakes, and steamed sweet potatoes. As for the tea eggs that later generations said, I didn’t see much.

Jiahui focused on tailoring shops. Ready-made clothes are expensive. Now most people still ask for tailors to make them. She also went to the mall to inquire about the price of clothes. There are dozens or hundreds of them, which is not something ordinary families can afford.

“Food, clothing, shelter, transportation” must start from the most basic place, and it is difficult to make money from other places.

Several people took the black egg to see a movie, “Liu Panshan”, which had not been seen in the village before, and the black egg watched it with relish.

When I went back, I passed by a bookstore. The bookstore was full of books on model dramas and revolutionary themes. Jiahui bought a Xinhua dictionary for Heidan, and also bought a comic book. Now the most popular “Strike on the White Tigers”, this is the life of Heidan. He also kept the first comic book in the middle, and he would take it out and flip through it from time to time.

I didn’t bring the sewing machine this time, and the clothes could not be made for the time being, and it was impossible to buy them now. Not only did I need an industrial ticket, but it also cost one or two hundred, which was very difficult for the family’s economy.

After going back and thinking about it, Jiahui decided to target young people to make money. On weekends, she sells some food in the cinema, such as tea eggs, chicken rice flowers, peanuts, melon seeds, etc. Peanuts and melon seeds can be called in the store and sold in paper bags at the price. It must be a bit more expensive than in the store. The tea eggs are sold for a dime. If the chicken rice is processed, it must be processed into semi-finished products. It is just right to take a briquettes stove.

Jiahui told Zhao Donglin about this idea and had to seek his opinion. No matter what the couple is doing, they have to have discussions.

Zhao Donglin had just come into contact with economics in school, and he just wanted to try it on his own. He naturally agreed to Jiahui’s idea. After Meixiang knew about the plan of the older brother and sister-in-law, she eagerly asked to join.

“Your school courses are so busy, do you have time?”

After graduating from a junior college in one and a half years, it means to concentrate three or four years of courses into one year, and internship for the remaining six months. Meixiang is really busy reading books until late at night.

“It’s okay, I spend half a day a week, and I can’t delay much.”

She is only in her twenties this year. In the 21st century, she is still a little girl. She is still very playful. What the sister-in-law said is very interesting when she hears it. As for the book, it is the same when she comes back to see it at night.

Just do it. On Saturday morning, Jiahui went to the market to buy two chickens back. Fried chicken rice crackers use chicken breasts. Now there is nowhere to buy ready-made ones, so they can only come back and remove the bones by themselves.

Cut the removed chicken into small pieces, add the seasoning to marinate and taste. There is no bread crumbs. Replace with crushed steamed buns. After the chicken is marinated, dip the chicken pieces in the egg white and wrap the steamed buns and fry them in a frying pan until golden Yellow is fine.

Jiahui halved the first fried portion, half the original flavor, and half sprinkled with cumin powder for everyone to taste.

Zhang Qiaoer was the first to do it, and she was surprised after chewing two bites. The taste in her mouth was completely different from what she had thought before.

“Well, it’s weird, I don’t deserve it.”

She didn’t look down on this. How could the chicken be cooked well? It took so many things, and it was both unpacking the meat and wrapping the steamed buns. She spoiled all the good things. Who knows that it tastes good after a bite.

Mei Xiang also nodded while eating. She is a young man, and her receptive ability is better than Zhang Qiao’er. Compared with the original flavor, she prefers to eat cumin flavor.

Having received two favorable comments, Jiahui looked at Zhao Donglin beside her with bright eyes.

“What do you think?”

After tasting it, Zhao Donglin nodded and said, “It tastes good. Someone should like it, but I can’t predict what it will sell.”

Men’s tastes are more inclined to drink and eat meat. He doesn’t like this kind of snack, but it’s not bad just considering the taste.

Jiahui snorted, feeling that what he said was similar to what he didn’t say, and failed to make any constructive suggestions. Then, Jiahui beckoned to let the black egg who was doing homework come over.

“Zhuo Jun, you can help me taste it. I want to know if you kids love this.”

This is the opening brick of KFC’s popularity all over the world. Jiahui believes that even children in the 1970s love to eat, but she can’t be completely sure.

Hearing Jiahui said that he was a child, he felt a little unhappy. He is already in the fourth grade, and he has long felt that he is an adult.

“Mom, mom, let me eat, I’m a kid too.”

Yingbao saw that Jiahui didn’t call her anxious, and she ran faster than the black egg.

“My family Yingbao wants to eat too?”

Jiahui squeezed Yingbao’s small meaty face, and deliberately teased her, “But you are too young, you will become dumb with such a snack, what should I do?”

Ying Bao pursed his mouth, looking sad.

“But I just want to eat it. My sister-in-law said it’s delicious.”

Jiahui smiled, not saying yes or no.

The black egg felt sorry for his sister. He held Yingbao’s shoulder and said seriously, “Sister, eat it, it’s okay. If you become stupid, I will grow up to take care of you.”

Anyway, she is her own sister, and she should be born to take care of her and protect her.

Jiahui looked at the black egg in surprise, unexpectedly he was still a little warm man.

“Well, since my brother said that you have become stupid, it doesn’t matter, then you can eat it, but you can’t eat more. You can eat a few. If you eat too much fried food, you will get angry and you will get fat.”

“Mom is a lie, she said just now that she will become dumb if she eats it.”

“Mom didn’t lie to you. If you eat too much, you will become stupid and fat, not cute anymore?”

“Very good, very fragrant, not the same as braised chicken.”

After eating the black egg, he earnestly expressed his opinion.

“Then do you like it?”

The black egg thought for a while, he was not obsessed with food, he had never actively thought about what he had eaten, he had always eaten what he cooked at home.

For him, as long as he doesn’t hate it, he likes it.

Therefore, he nodded honestly.

Now that everyone said yes, Jiahui took the time to prepare the remaining semi-finished products, and then began to prepare lunch.

The chicken soup was stewed with the removed chicken bones to make chicken soup hand-rolled noodles.

“Send a bowl to the backyard.”

Before Jiahui finished speaking, Zhao Donglin had already taken an aluminum soup pot from the cupboard, filled it with a bowl, and sent it over.

“Oh, Donglin, why are you sending food again? Go back and tell Jiahui that you don’t need to eat anything good and give us a portion.”

“She just wants you to have a taste of her cooking skills, just a few words of praise.”

Shen Nianru shook his head and smiled, “I don’t need Jiahui’s craftsmanship to praise me. Since she came, our appetites have been raised.”

After the semester, Zhao Donglin and Jiahui have discovered the true identities of the two elderly people. Mr. Xie is a professor of the Chinese Department of Wudong University, and Mr. Shen is a professor of the Department of History of Wudong University. In addition, Mr. Xie has also written textbooks and published essays. According to Mr. Shen, Mr. Xie is currently writing a book.

They can’t wait to make up for the lost time.

After eating lunch early, Jiahui and Zhao Donglin set off with Meixiang. The eggs, peanuts, and melon seeds had been bought the day before. The tea eggs had been marinated all night. The first time I did business, I couldn’t figure out the specific situation. Jiahui didn’t. I dared to do more and only prepared about twenty tea eggs.

“Sister-in-law, do you think we will go well today?”

On the bus, Meixiang asked Jiahui nervously.

“Relax. If you can’t sell it, you can’t beat it. Let’s take it home and eat it ourselves.”

Meixiang smiled, “I really can’t bear to let me eat.”

After speaking, she comforted herself again, “But I believe we can sell it. How can we not sell delicious things?”

Jiahui patted her on the head and turned to look out the window without speaking.
