Chapter 1387 【1386】Homemade Ai Zhu (5000)

Time flies by in May, when the scent of locust trees fills the streets. No matter where you go, you can smell the scent of locust flowers. Ding Wei’s family doesn’t have a locust tree, but the third uncle’s family has one. This locust tree

There are enough locust trees on the tree to feed the three of them. Whenever the locust trees are in bloom, my uncle and brothers will climb up and down the locust trees.

There are also skills in hooking Sophora japonica flowers. One is the production of hooks. The other is to choose Sophora japonica flowers that are not in bloom and in bud. Only such Sophora japonica flowers have the best taste. Whether they are dried or eaten fresh, they are very delicious.

Full of sweetness.

Every year, my mother would make dumplings and steamed buns with Sophora japonica flowers, and she would also dry about ten pounds of dried Sophora japonica flowers and save them for winter.

Such good things cannot be bought by city people even if they have money. Of course, there are also many wild locust trees in the wild. My father and brothers even hooked up fifty or sixty kilograms and sold them on the black market for a dime a kilogram.

In the end, it sold for less than three yuan, which was still the black market price. If it were sold to a supply and marketing cooperative, it would only cost five cents.

Of course, if you arrive late at the vegetable stall at the supply and marketing cooperative, there may not even be any left. Although the black market ones are more expensive, the quality is much better than those at the vegetable stalls, so rich people can afford to buy these three melons and two dates.

, will all go to the black market to buy it.

Because you have to pay an entrance fee of a few cents to go in, so in order to save some money on the entrance fee, in addition to hanging sophora flower bags on both sides of the bicycle, I also brought dozens of kilograms of tofu.

Their family washes clothes with soap they buy for a dime a piece. Ding Wei thinks she can do it, especially since there is so much vegetation and ash in the house. It would be a pity to just leave the land alone, so she asks her father to buy it for five yuan.

I bought ten pounds of pork suet and went to the village to raise sheep.

She exchanged tofu for some goat's milk. When the peach blossoms were in full bloom in the spring, she also used the peach blossoms to make some essential oil. The essential oil was extracted by distillation. She had already mastered these things in her time travel, so no raw materials were wasted.

Soap and soap were made.

For this purpose, she specially engraved her unique rose flower LOGO, which was molded out and engraved on the soap and soap. This was the original advertising method.

In order to produce more essential oils, she also asked her sister to pick more flowers at home. Any flowers would do, and she would use distillation to extract the essence after taking them home.

Her mother couldn't put down the finished soaps and scented soaps and kept praising her for being great, but Ding Wei said modestly.

"If the conditions weren't insufficient, I could make something better and more practical, but I can make do with it now. It's only twenty or thirty yuan. When I leave on Friday afternoon, I'll take it with me and give it to me.

colleagues."

The Ding family was surprised: "You want to give away such a good soap?"

Ding Wei smiled and said: "Of course I can't bear to leave my children. I gave them to them for advertising. Not to mention the variety of soaps on the market, you need a certain amount of soap coupons to buy them. If you don't have them, you have to buy them at a high price. I also

Not too much, just one cent for soap and two cents for scented soap. Anyone who wants it can order it and take it to them when it’s ready. This thing won’t go bad. Even if no one wants it, we can keep it and use it all the time. It saves money.

Bought."

Even so, my mother was still worried: "Aren't you afraid that people will report you?"

Ding Wei thought for a moment, and it seemed to be the truth. Although it was about to enter seventy-five years, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so it was better to be careful.

Especially the interpersonal relationships between colleagues are the darkest.

When her father saw her like this, he couldn't help but said: "How about we try it on the black market? When selling tofu, we sold it together, but I don't know the price?"

Ding Wei couldn't help but said: "Since it's being sold as a gift, it doesn't matter whether it's one cent or two cents is best, as long as it can be sold!"

But then again: "Where did you learn this?"

The parents discovered that a lot had changed since their eldest daughter came to the city. They had never heard of many people and things, but she could speak clearly and clearly.

"I learned it at the radio station. There are many types of radio programs. I copied the method I saw when I was helping to sort out the information. I didn't expect that I succeeded in one try. Isn't your daughter very smart!"

For this reason, parents can't fault it, because there are really all kinds of programs on the radio, including everything.

"If you put it this way, doing a show is really better than going to school!"

Speaking of going to school, my father suddenly remembered something: "Our company is raising funds to build a house. My daughter really hit the mark. Do you think we should buy it?"

Ding Wei looked at her father in surprise: "Is this just announced?"

"Yes, I just gave two days' notice. Because housing is so tight, young people can't even get a house when they get married. They have to squeeze into a single dormitory with a curtain. The factory is also being troubled and has no choice. In addition, the government's

With the new policies coming out recently, it seems that many factories are studying the feasibility of this kind of thing."

"What's the price?"

"The current price set by the factory is RMB 30 per square meter for the time being. We will look back and see if we can keep the cost. Of course, if you pay early, the price will not increase in the future. If you pay late, you will have to make up for the price increase when the time comes."

Thirty-one square meters. Nowadays, houses are all small in size, 50 square meters, and there is no shared area. Calculating it to 1,500 yuan, if you are a regular worker and have worked for many years, you can definitely afford it.

However, their family of eight needs at least four rooms to be spacious before everyone gets married. Calculated in this way, it must be at least 80 to 90 square meters, right? Let’s assume it’s 90 square meters, but it’s almost the same.

Nearly three thousand yuan!

This kind of unit-funded housing means that the unit provides the space and the employees contribute money, and they can live in it for a lifetime, or even several lifetimes. Although the future reform will not be better than commercial housing, it will be better than small property rights.

Their family was big, so it was best to get everything done in one step, so Ding Wei couldn't help but ask: "Dad, how big is the biggest house?"

"The smallest one is fifty, the largest one is about one hundred,"

At 100 square meters, it was really a huge house. In the era when there were no shared areas, it was really a big house!

However, their family's current total savings amounted to only a thousand yuan, one hundred square meters, which was more than three thousand yuan, not counting decoration and home appliances. She felt that no matter what, they would have to prepare four thousand yuan.

, we can achieve it in one step, but now there is a gap of three thousand yuan. Thinking about it...it feels so far away!

It seems that she has to hurry up and write the novel. Not to mention too much, even if she can earn 500 yuan, she can also buy a house of 50 square meters. With these 50 square meters, what will happen to the brothers who are studying in the county town?

No place to stay?

Fifty square meters is equivalent to fifteen hundred yuan. Her parents might be able to come up with one thousand yuan now. She has to think carefully about the shortfall of five hundred yuan.

It's a pity that I can't set up a stall, otherwise I can earn this money in less than a year.

"Dad, are you going to buy it?"

Dad was asked inexplicably: "Our family has a house, and I also have a dormitory to live in. What can I buy? If I don't buy it, what will I spend the money on? You are all going to school. There will be more places to spend money in the future.

You have to save this money!”

Ding Wei opened her mouth and was about to talk about the benefits of buying a house, but her mother suddenly interrupted and echoed.

"That's right, the house we bought is not of much use. Your dad is busy in the factory and he already lives in the dormitory. What kind of house should we buy? Although you two may not have to run back and forth after buying a house to go to school, but you have saved some money over the years.

Money is not easy. If anyone in the family has a headache or no money, it will be troublesome. We will not join in the fun. Whoever wants to buy it can buy it. We will not buy it. Even if there is a quota, we will not buy it."

This is just the first batch of fund-raising houses, and there will be more in the future. At least the tractor factory has to go through the 80s and 90s. If it transforms into a harvester in the future, it may have more prospects, and it may even last until 2022.

For now, my father's job is pretty good and he will receive a pension after retirement. Needless to say, he can take care of his parents' daily expenses without any problem.

Now one of them is working as a worker in the county town and the other is farming in the countryside. Buying a house seems to be of little use.

Commercial housing has been around since the 1980s, but it really took off in the 1990s. At that time, she was only in her twenties, a time when she was struggling, and it didn’t matter whether her family could buy it or not, because it seemed like it was indeed the case at the moment.

There is no need to buy a house. Instead of buying a house, you might as well buy a bicycle. At least this way you won’t be cleaning out your home.

In fact, the most important point is that no matter what era you are in, buying a house is a major matter for the whole family, not just your own family, but also your neighbors, relatives, colleagues, and leaders.

Look, you said you would buy a small one and pay for it

Household capital is of no use, just buy a bigger one. Even if you can really get that money together, with so many people watching, who would want you to live a better life than yourself? Who are the neighbors of the big house? They must be the leaders of the work unit.

Damn, do you think people are willing to be your neighbors?

Why are social classes divided into three, six or nine? Which level should you be at? If you stick to that level, if you suddenly jump to several levels, who will be willing to bless you?

No matter what era there is, there is no shortage of people who can put on small shoes for you. You would rather be looked down upon by them and not be able to buy a house than let others think that your family is extremely rich. You just take out three thousand yuan. Are you a farmer? This is just now

What is the level of old employees who have become regular employees?

If you make trouble, they will even investigate the source of your money.

The more she thought about it, the more Ding Wei felt that her parents' words were correct and that they had considered things more thoroughly. She was used to being confident in the world before. Now that she thinks about it carefully, she still feels that before the 1990s, it was better to stay down to earth.

So Ding Wei silently put this matter in her heart and stopped thinking about it.

In June of the Gregorian calendar, my parents became busy at the same time. My second brother didn't go home on weekends and stayed at school to review and make the final push.

The primary school students were all on holiday. The third brother was about to graduate from elementary school. Mai and the fourth brother went to the fields to help their mother earn work points.

On a hot day, Ding Wei took Ding Xiang to gather pigweed, collect firewood, and ate in the big canteen. During the busy farming season, the fire was basically not fired at home, because the cooked meals would be sent to the fields. If you took a short break, you would join the rush to harvest.

, the weather changes rapidly in this season, and no one dares to take it lightly. Even if it is windy at night, they have to run inside quickly.

The same goes for my father's factory. They receive orders for machine repairs every day. Wherever there are tractors, there are their maintenance teams. It is normal not to go home after a busy week. Sometimes they have to sleep in the duty room of the production team to do work at any time.

The only advantage of being well prepared for car repairs is that you don't have to do physical work, but it's a bit uncomfortable.

On the contrary, my mother, uncle and aunt did really physical work. They worked from dawn to dusk. After returning home, they felt that their limbs were no longer their own.

At this time, Ding Wei would give her mother a considerate massage, step on her back, rub her shoulders, and boil some mugwort water for her to take a bath to relieve her fatigue.

She even made her own moxibustion using clay pots and mugwort velvet. When her mother snored, she would add a row of small clay pots on her back to moxibustion her body.

This is the simplest operation method in traditional Chinese medicine. Making a clay pot is not difficult for her. The result of combining the two is that it not only smokes away mosquitoes, but also expels fatigue and moisture from the mother's body.

, together with the smell of mugwort smoke, can also improve immunity and reduce the possibility of wind and cold.

Because summer often alternates between hot and cold, cold evil will enter the body if you are not careful. Women are most afraid of this, and Ding Wei did not dare to do it. She is smart, and went to the apple orchard to help for a few days, and specifically 'consulted'

Later, I went home to make them for my parents. As for the method of making clay pots, it was even simpler. It was just like a child playing with clay, coupled with the scientific firing method, although it was not as exquisite as others.

But at least it’s enough for moxibustion.
