Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 243 242. Who Repented?

Zeng Qing and the others only took two exams, so they had already finished the exam two days ago, so Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were the only two on the way back today.

"You go back so late, can you make it in time?" Xiang Jin asked.

Yan Chen said, "It should be in time. I called my aunt before and asked her to help me find out."

"Have you told your aunt? She didn't object?" Xiang Jin was slightly taken aback by his efficient attitude.

Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Well, as I said, I was a little against it at first, but I didn't insist on my decision, so I finally agreed.

During the last vacation, I went back and called her again. She said that she helped me pay attention to three places. One is on the south gate, on the edge of the first ring, and near the second ring. An open space, about [-] acres or so. "

"Twenty mu? That's a lot?" Xiang Jin calculated silently. Even if she added the 20 yuan for the costume design draft fee that she was about to receive, her total assets would be less than 50 yuan. , then she estimated that she could only buy more than an acre of land.

I just don't know how much money Yan Chen has, and whether the two of them can work together to take that piece of land.

Yan Chen continued, "Although the location of the land is good, within the first ring road, I don't like that land."

Xiang Jin just looked at him, "Why?"

Yan Chen explained to her, "From the perspective of long-term investment, first of all, the land is within the first ring road and very close to the city center, so the price is definitely not cheap.

Secondly, if the government plans urban construction at that time, the land will most likely be repurchased by the government. In that case, wouldn’t our work be in vain? "

Xiang Jin nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, what you said is very reasonable, but I forgot about this, what about the other two lands?"

Yan Chen went on to say, "The other two lands are both outside the second ring road, one is on the east gate and the other is on the west gate, but I have to go back and check to be sure."

Then Xiang Jin nodded, and then suggested to him, "I think, according to the current development momentum of the country, the future economy will definitely develop rapidly, and the provincial capital will definitely develop a second ring and a third ring." From the four rings.

So when we buy land, we can buy it a little farther away, and then it will take longer. Of course, it should not be too far away from the urban area. At that time, we will not be able to develop there in ten or twenty years, so we will choose the second ring road. And a point outside the second ring.

This location seems to be a bit far from the urban area at the moment, and it can be said to be a barren land, so the Land and Resources Office will not pay more attention to it. At that time, not only can the price be slightly lower, but also related The formalities are easier and smoother for you, what do you think? "

Yan Chen nodded, "Yeah!"

Xiang Jin went on to say, "At that time, we will buy the land as residential land. Alas, when we buy the land, we can hire some people to cultivate it, such as planting vegetables in greenhouses, food crops, or fruit trees. , Landscape trees and so on, we can make some more money in the process of adding value.”

Yan Chen just laughed, "It's exactly what I thought. My grandfather has some veterans under his command, and many of them are staying in their hometown now. When the time comes, I'll invite them over to help us manage it?"

Xiang Jin narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Oh, that's fine, people from the army should be more serious and responsible."

After the matter was settled, Xiang Jin changed the subject, "Will you drive back by yourself, or will your family have a driver to pick you up?"

Yan Chen said, "Uncle Ming Tao will come to pick me up. Every year at the end of the year, he will come over in person to give my grandparents some new year gifts."

"Oh, I understand!" Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Your Uncle Ming Tao is also a soldier of your grandfather's?"

"Well, he used to be my grandfather's full-time driver, but because his mother was seriously ill and no one took care of him, my grandfather asked him to go back to take care of his mother. Six years ago, his mother died of illness, and he was in his hometown. He lost his relatives, and then returned to the provincial capital.

Later he called my grandpa and said he wanted to come back and be his driver, but my grandpa already had another driver at that time, and he was doing a good job, so my grandpa couldn't just say no to him.

Then my grandfather arranged for him to be a driver for others, but he didn’t want it. He said he wanted to stay with my grandfather, even if he was a sprinkler and sweeper. I was only eight or nine years old at the time. Later, my grandfather thought about it carefully. , and then I just left him at our house and asked him to help take care of me and take care of things at home, and my grandfather also promised him that if he wants to do something of his own someday, he can do it at any time He left, but he said that he had been staying in the compound of the military region and my grandfather all his life, and he didn't go anywhere, and he didn't have anything to do. "

"Oh, I see. It seems that your Uncle Mingtao is still a man of temperament." Xiang Jin nodded again, and then asked, "Oh, he still looks like he is in his thirties? There should be a conclusion If you’re married, why don’t you have any relatives?”

Yan Chen said, "Well, he was indeed married before, but he divorced within two years."

"Leave? Why?"

"It seems that the woman thought that he was not at home all year round. Later, she became a little bit resentful and didn't treat his mother very well. When his mother was sick, she didn't care, so he left directly after returning."

"Oh, I didn't expect him to have such an experience?" Xiang Jin couldn't help sighing.

"Ok!"

"Then he didn't look for it anymore?" Xiang Jin asked again.

Yan Chen shook his head, "No!"

"Oh," Xiang Jin thought, could it be that he was hurt badly by his ex-wife and had a psychological shadow?

Xiang Jin said, "Then every year when you celebrate the New Year, don't you have a room full of elders?"

Yan Chen smiled and said, "Where? There is my aunt and my cousin, and there is also an aunt who cooks."

"You still have a cousin?" Xiang Jin was surprised.

"Well, I'm the same age as you, only two months younger than you, and I just started junior high school this year."

"Really?"

"Ok!"

"So what's your relationship with her, okay?"

"Well, it's okay! She also has good grades, but she mainly lives with her grandparents."

"Didn't you live with your aunt?"

"My aunt usually has to take care of the business, so her grandparents mostly take care of her. Her grandfather used to be a mechanic in the army, so she also learned the habit of dismantling things. Once my aunt took her to the shop. She secretly took two watches and dismantled them while my aunt wasn't paying attention, and then didn't install them back, so my aunt didn't want her to be next to me."

Hearing this, Xiang Jin suddenly burst out laughing, "I think your cousin has the potential to be an engineering girl?"

Yan Chen said, "My ambition is to build carrier-based aircraft!"

Xiang Jin gave him a thumbs up, "What a noble and great ambition!"

Yan Chen's mouth curled into a slight smile, "Indeed!"

Xiang Jin said, "I think your cousin's temperament should belong to the kind of straightforward person."

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, she usually likes to play with her peers in the military compound."

The two of them talked and went home. As soon as they got home and put down their backpacks, Xiang Jin ran to see the sausages they had filled last time. Well, they were all dried up. Xiang Jin asked her mothers if they had cooked some. eat.

Her mother said, "It's not cooked yet. Didn't you say you want to give it away? We're afraid there won't be enough."

Xiang Jin said, "Hey, as much as you give away, it's just a few families. I have made a plan. I will give five or six catties to Yan Chen, five catties to Han Che, and Aunt Liao alone. One three catties, almost ten catties left, we will eat that by ourselves.

Besides, when the time is not enough, let's pour some more, isn't there still half a pig in my grandfather's place?

Cut some and cook some, let's taste it. "

Her mother thought about it for a while, and said, "Okay, then I'll take some and cook."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then went to check the row of chickens hanging on the other side. Well, they were all dried, but they were quite fat. The ones raised by this family were more sensual than those that grew up running in the wild. More, look at the top of it is dripping with oil, and it smells like a faint smell of wax, which is quite fragrant!

One, two, three... really ten!
For dinner, Xiang Jin's mother made three dishes and one soup. The so-called three dishes were actually stir-fried sweet potato tips, a stewed pork, and a sliced ​​sausage. The soup was a pea tip meatball soup.

"Yeah, this sausage is delicious, sister, this sausage is really delicious, it's not spicy or numb, and it's not salty or dry," Xiang Lan said after eating several slices in a row.

After her mother and grandfather ate it, they all said it was delicious. The sausage was more delicious than what they had in previous years.

Xiang Jin thought to herself, of course this sausage is delicious, but she copied the recipe of this sausage from the father of a colleague in her previous life, who was the executive chef of a five-star hotel.

His cooking skills are at the level of big names in the industry, and he has participated in many domestic and foreign competitions and won many awards.

When she was given this formula back then, it was because she was her son's immediate boss, otherwise she would not be allowed to pass it on, unless it was his direct disciple.

Xiang Jin took a piece and ate it, well, she missed the taste, but unfortunately she was still taking medicine and couldn't take more.

Her mother said, "Xiang Jin, mom made you dumplings, you eat dumplings, and you also like to eat sweet potato leaves."

Xiang Jin nodded, "I know!"

The next morning, Xiang Jin had just washed up after getting up, when her uncle, her aunt, her second aunt, and brothers Yang Hui, Yang Zhao, Yang Xu and Yang Xin came together with her grandmother.

They are several adults, and each adult is carrying a backpack behind his back.

"What is this for?" Xiang Jin walked over and asked.

Yang Zhao winked at her, "The meat for you guys!"

"Did you kill the pig?" Xiang Jin asked.

Yang Zhao nodded, "I killed it yesterday!"

"Then your meat is all marinated?" Xiang Jin asked again.

Yang Zhao nodded again, "I pickled it last night. My grandma said that my aunt is going to do business today, and my grandfather is going to pick vegetables, and you are still taking medicine, so it's not suitable to get cold, so I brought us to help you pickle."

Xiang Jin felt that her grandma was simply too caring, thinking of everything for their family.

"How much meat is this?"

Yang Hui shook his head, "I don't know! It's probably more than 100 catties."

Yang Hui said, "120 catties."

Xiang Jin said, "I think it's more than 120 catties."

Yang Hui said, "I also brought some meat from our own family. I said that the sausage from your family is fragrant, and then I brought it to you for filling."

Xiang Jin said, "You haven't eaten our sausage, how do you know it's delicious?"

"My aunt said, I don't know what the recipe is for the sausage that your family made before, but it smells delicious!"

Xiang Jin smiled smugly, "I'll cook some for you at noon today!"

"Okay, okay, you can cook more, or there will be too many people to eat," Yang Zhao followed and climbed up the pole.

Xiang Jin curled his lips, "Cut, my sausage filling is for giving away, how can I give you enough to taste at one time? If you want to eat more, then learn to eat some later, and then pour it yourself , you can eat as much as you want at that time!"

Yang Zhao curled his lips, "Stingy!"

Xiang Jin said, "Our family can't even bear to eat it!"

"Okay!" Yang Zhao finally had no choice but to say helplessly.

Following Xiang Jin, she turned her head and asked her mother, "Mom, do we have enough salt?"

Her mother said, "That's enough, I bought it yesterday and put it in the kitchen."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked Yang Hui and Yang Zhao brothers, "Do you have a lot of small intestines?"

Yang Zhao obviously didn't know, so he looked at his brother, and Yang Hui said, "There are two pairs, and I brought both of them."

Xiang Jin nodded, then walked over to look at the meat carried in the baskets of her uncle and aunt, and then asked her mother, "How many more sausages will our family make?"

Her mother discussed with her, "Why don't you make a twenty catty and pickle a hundred catties?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

She decided that she would make two flavors later, one salty and one sweet.

Xiang Lan heard that their family was making sausage again, so she hurried into the house to take out the scale and kitchen knife, and asked her uncle to weigh out the twenty catties of meat for them first.

The adults in the family couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

When Xiang Jin saw it, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She is always the most active in this regard.

Xiang Jin asked her uncle to divide the twenty catties of meat into two portions, one was about five or six catties, and the other was about fourteen or five catties. She said that she planned to make two sausages later.

Her aunts asked her to make those two flavors, or should they try it too?Xiang Jin said sweet and salty.

When her aunts heard about the sweet ones, they couldn't accept it, so they said they should make salty ones.

It seems that the public's taste is still more salty, so Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked her two aunts, how many catties of sausages do they have in their home?
The two aunts said that the meat in their family was not weighed, and they would pack as much as they had.

Xiang Jin asked her uncle to weigh them all because she planned to use the ingredients.

Her uncle nodded, picked up the scale and began to weigh the meat, and Xiang Jin ordered Xiang Lan to lead Yang Xu and Yang Xin with two small carrot heads to help her grandfather pick vegetables, while Yang Hui and Yang Zhao stayed to help her wait. After marinating the meat, her grandmother offered to clean the casings.

After making all these arrangements, Xiang Jin asked Yang Hui and Yang Zhao brothers to follow her to the kitchen to fry salt.

The two were surprised, "Fried salt? Do you want to fry the salt?"

Her two aunts said that the salt in their house had never been fried, and they had never fried the salted meat every year.

Xiang Jin said, "It needs to be fried for a while, the fried salt-cured bacon is delicious."

"Really?" asked her aunt.

"Yes," Xiang Jin nodded slightly.

Her eldest aunt said, "Then next year, we will also fire up."

When they arrived at the kitchen, Xiang Jin asked Yang Zhao to cook the pot, and she came to fry the salt.

Yang Zhao asked, "Then what is my brother doing?"

"Yeah, what am I doing?" Yang Hui also asked.

Xiang Jin looked at him and hesitated for a moment, "Yeah, it still takes a little time to fry the salt, so how about you go outside and bring in the meat that your family and the second uncle's family are going to fill with sausages, first Peeled, washed, and cut into pieces the size of little fingers?"

Yang Hui nodded, "Okay!"

Yang Zhao sat in front of the stove and heated the pot. When the pot was hot, Xiang Jin poured the salt into the pot and started to stir fry. After the salt was all hot, she put some peppercorns and continued to stir fry.

Yang Zhao stood up after burning the pot for a while, "When are you going to fry the salt?"

Xiang Jin said, "Fry until it turns slightly yellow."

Yang Zhao reached out to ask her for a spatula, "I'll do it!"

That's okay, he has done it himself, and next year when their family is marinating meat, he will know what to do. Xiang Jin directly gave him the spatula, and then stood aside to direct him, only occasionally Add a handful of firewood to the stove.

They fried it for about half an hour before the salt was finished, and then Yang Zhao asked, "Then what should we do next? Are you going to start marinating the meat?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, we have to wait for it to cool down."

"Ah? Then when will we go?" Yang Zhao asked in surprise.

Xiang Jin said, "It's quick to spread in the dustpan." After she finished speaking, she went to the small room next to her and took out a clean dustpan, and then asked Yang Zhao to scoop all the salt out of the pot and pour it into the dustpan , and then she went to prepare the seasoning for sausage stuffing.

After a while, her grandmother finished the sausage casing, but seeing that the cured meat would take a while to cook, she picked up a kitchen knife and cut the sausage stuffed meat with Yang Hui.

After the salt had cooled down, Xiang Jin asked Yang Zhao to make bacon with her. Her grandmother and Yang Hui were about to put down their kitchen knives and join them, but Xiang Jin refused, saying no, she and Yang Zhao were enough. up.

When they got there, Xiang Jin asked Yang Zhao to do it, and she was on the sidelines directing.

Yang Zhao quit, "No, sister, you asked me to do it alone, didn't you mean you were with me?"

Xiang Jin reminded, "I'm still taking medicine, and it's taboo to be cold. The meat is so cold, how can I touch it?"

Yang Zhao said, "Then you didn't let my brother go with my grandma just now?"

Xiang Jin said, "They are cutting meat, don't you want that sausage from your two families to be poured out earlier?"

Yang Zhao snorted, and Xiang Jin frowned, "You're still chattering about asking you to do some work, do you want to eat the sausage for lunch today?"

"Yes!" Yang Zhao hurriedly replied.

Xiang Jin said, "Hurry up and work if you want! Don't dawdle!"

Yang Zhao picked up a piece of meat and rubbed salt on it, and Xiang Jin reminded him, "Smear evenly and carefully? Don't leave any corners alone, or you will be compensated if the meat stinks!"

"Got it, got it, long-winded, then if you don't believe me, why don't you do it yourself?!"

Xiang Jin glared at him, "I'm providing you with an opportunity to exercise your seriousness and carefulness in doing things. Don't understand my good intentions for you."

"It's high-sounding, I don't believe what you said," Yang Zhao raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

Xiang Jin reminded him, "Who once said that everything should be listened to by my sister, and he will do whatever I ask him to do? Why has it been so long, and you want to go back on your word?"

Yang Zhao said, "Who is going back on his word?"

Xiang Jin said, "Then hurry up! It's slow, boy, can you hurry up?"
