Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 246 245. More practical

When Xiang Jin came home, her grandfather was cooking for lunch, and Xiang Jin went to help after putting the books back in the house.

"Grandpa, what do we have for lunch?"

Her grandfather said, "Just eat some noodles, it's easy."

Xiang Jin nodded, no objection.

After lunch, Xiang Jin followed her grandfather into the shed to dig the ground, because after picking a box of vegetables today, the vegetables in the field will be replanted to plant new ones.

After digging the ground, the soil in the field was sorted out, followed by planting, and finally watering. It was almost 03:30 in the afternoon after finishing all these.

Seeing that it was still early in the day, Xiang Jin went back to his room and drew two sketches.

The next day, Xiang Jin took the two drawings to find Yan Chen, Yan Chen saw her two drawings and said, "Why did you draw a picture of children's clothing?"

Xiang Jin said, "Well, after I finished drawing the picture of an adult, I suddenly got inspiration again, and then I drew it. It's okay. I'll show it to them when the time comes. If they want it, let it go."

"Okay, I've finished the manuscripts for four sets of costumes, you can take a look first," Yan Chen said, and handed a stack of manuscripts to Xiang Jin.

"Oh," Xiang Jin reached out to take it, and then Yan Chen started to look at the two drawings she brought.

After a while, Xiang Jin sorted out the drawings and put them back in their place, "It's very good, very beautiful, and it's exactly the same as the result we discussed at the beginning."

Yan Chen smiled slightly, and then the two began to discuss the two paintings she brought today.

Today's artwork is relatively small, so the results came out quickly.

Yan Chen drew the first drafts respectively, and then marked some important details on them, and then said to Jin, "Then it's all up to you, I'll go back first."

"it is good!"

Xiang Jin came out of Grandpa Zeng's house, and when he passed the old Xiang's courtyard, he saw that the doors of several houses in their house were open.

Is this coming back from the city for the New Year? !
Immediately Xiang Jin shook his head, hey, it's none of my knitting business!Xiang Jin continued to move forward!

The next day was when Xiang Jin and the others went back to school to get their final exam papers and report cards, and this time was no exception. She and Yan Chen were tied for No.1 in the school again this time, and there was a gap between No.2 and No.100. The difference in the total score of more than [-] points.

In addition to a certificate, a notebook with a cowhide cover, and an immortal brand pen, the two of them also received a scholarship of 60 yuan.

The scholarship given by the school is very interesting. In the middle school, the No. 1 students who passed the whole grade are given 60 yuan, the No. 2 students are 40 yuan, and the No. 3 students are 30 yuan. 60 yuan is still very enviable to many people.

Zeng Qing said all the way that she envied them for having such good grades, and even got a scholarship, 60 yuan for the Sixth University, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were a little speechless, so Xiang Jin said, "You Are you not thirsty?!"

"I'm not thirsty, why am I thirsty?!" Zeng Qing asked her in turn.

Xiang Jin said, "You have turned over all these words, my ears can almost hear cocoons, Zeng Qing, why can't you stop, don't turn over so much, it's not a big deal, Are you making trouble for me and Yan Chen all the time?"

"Where is it? You are amazing, and you are No.1 in the whole school. Maybe the 60 yuan is not a big deal to you, but for those of us who only have a few yuan in pocket money a week, it is a big deal." That's a lot of money, okay? Sixty, it's all my pocket money for three months.

Alas, it took me three months to get 60 yuan of pocket money from my family. You just took a test and got 60 yuan easily. You are simply too capable and amazing! "

Xiang Jin said, "What's so easy? It's not like you can get a bonus of 60 yuan every time you take an exam. This is only the 60 yuan you get in the final exam. We also worked hard for more than half a year to get it." This is 60 yuan, okay?"

Zeng Qing nodded vigorously, "I know, that's why I said you are amazing!"

Xiang Jin gave a "cut", and then said, "Stop talking, we're almost home, we don't want people in Wantou to know about this!"

"Why? It's such an honor to be No.1 in the whole school. Why can't people in Wantou know about it?" Zeng Qing was very puzzled.

Xiang Jin said, "Have you heard the story about Shang Zhongyong?"

Zeng Qing shook his head, and Xiang Jin said, "Oh, yes, you are still in the sixth grade, and you will not learn this until your first year of junior high school."

Zeng Qing heard it in a cloud, so he just looked at her in a daze.

Xiang Jin explained to her, "This is an article written by Wang Anshi. It tells the story of a child prodigy named Fang Zhongyong. When I was an inkstone, I could write four lines of poems.

Later, his poems were transmitted by many people, and gradually his reputation as a child prodigy spread far and wide. Many people were amazed and came to visit them with gifts, and some even begged him to write poems for ink.

His father thought it would be profitable, so he dragged him around to visit other people every day, showing off his intelligence to others, and not letting him study hard. Later, Fang Zhongyong gradually abandoned his studies.

When he was twelve or thirteen years old, his poetry was no longer commensurate with his previous reputation, and then a few years later, when he was about 20 years old, his talent had completely disappeared, completely reduced to an ordinary person. "

Zeng Qing said, "Your story sounds strange, but what does this Fang Zhongyong have to do with you? You are not Fang Zhongyong!"

Xiang Jin said, "We are indeed not Fang Zhongyong, but we still have some similarities with him, okay? Because Fang Zhongyong is smart and has good academic performance, he is often praised by his neighbors and flaunted by his family everywhere.

Although the two of us are not geniuses, we don't want to be paid attention to and praised like that. The so-called full moon will lose, and the water will overflow. There are mountains and people outside the mountains. We can't guarantee our achievements You can always stay in the first or second place, just in case one day you suddenly fail the test.

You see, Xiang Yan from the old Xiang's family has always had good grades. Every time she takes the exam, she always gets a high score, but what happens to the result at the critical moment? Why don't she just repeat the exam.

After so many years of repeated studies and so many years of exams, isn't it that the name has been lost for so many years?In what year did she succeed in entering school?
It used to be praised as a flower in the bay, but now it is regarded as a joke by the people in the bay, and it is often used to ridicule and ridicule?

So Yan Chen and I, we don't want to be like her, being praised and boasting all the time from the beginning, but in the end we are trampled on. "

Zeng Qing said, "But you are not like her?"

Xiang Jin said, "That's not necessarily true. Good grades now don't mean good grades in the future!"

Zeng Qing wanted to say something else, so Xiang Jin glared at her, "Anyway, you are not allowed to mention this matter in Wantou, even your family members!"

Zeng Qing said, "But what if they ask?"

Xiang Jin said, "Just say you don't know! You are on the side of the elementary school, and we are not on the side of the middle school, so it's normal not to know."

Zeng Qing said, "But we obviously all held meetings together on the school's big playground? I obviously saw you on stage to receive the award with my own eyes?"

Xiang Jin was speechless, "Zeng Qing, can you stop being so serious? If you dare to tell people in Wantou, be careful that I will break up with you!"

Seeing her serious and earnest expression, Zeng Qing really knew this time that she probably really didn't want people to know about their high scores in the exam, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay, I don't That’s enough, you guys are really good, others have good grades in the exam, and they want to broadcast it to everyone in the world to know about it, but you want to cover it up tightly, I really don’t understand you!”

Xiang Jin said, "Study is one's own business, so it's good to know that the college entrance examination is low, so why do other people's business?

If we get compliments from others, does it mean that we can grow two taels of flesh, or are other people's compliments just golden sentences that can instantly turn into actual gold and silver? "

"Xiang Jin, aren't you too realistic?"

Xiang Jin said, "Isn't reality bad? I just like living in reality! To me, those compliments and boasting are nothing but vain and insignificant compliments and compliments. I just like reality." Be honest."

The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up, the more practical things she likes are things that can be seen and touched like money!

Zeng Qing pouted and wrinkled his nose towards Jin, "You are a weirdo!"

Xiang Jin just "cut" and didn't bother to talk to her!She's low-key, what does a little girl know about movies? !
When they returned to the bay, Zeng Qing parted ways with them after a while, and Yan Chen said, "I still have two paintings, and they will all be finished."

Xiang Jin asked, "So fast?"

Yan Chen said, "As long as the draft is finalized, it will be quick to draw."

As soon as the two of them chatted here, another two people from Wantou walked towards them, and one of them asked them, "Boy Yan, girl Jin, you went to school to get your report card and came back. How did you go back to the exam? How many people are in the class?"

Yan Chen didn't say a word, Xiang Jin said casually, "I don't know the ranking, but I just passed the exam."

"He passed the exam?" The man was surprised for a moment, and then said calmly, "That's pretty good."

Xiang Jin and the two nodded slightly towards them, and then the two left. Xiang Jin and Yan Chen immediately looked at each other and smiled, and followed the two of them to continue walking forward. Do you have anything to say?"

"Oh, it's like this. My uncle Mingtao called yesterday and asked me if there was anything else I needed to bring with me in the provincial capital. When he comes over, he'll bring it along. If I don't have it here, I'll ask you Is there anything you want to buy here but it's not convenient to buy here, can I ask him to bring it to you from the provincial capital?"

Xiang Jin shook her head, "No," what she wanted to buy most now was the land in the provincial capital, and nothing else aroused her interest.

"it is good!"

As soon as Xiang Jin entered the yard, Xiang Lan jumped out of the room and chased her and asked, "Sister, how are you doing? How many points did you get?"

Seeing her complacent expression, Xiang Jin gave her a sideways glance and asked, "How many points did you get in the test this time?"

Xiang Lan rushed into the room and showed her the two test papers and one result. Xiang Jin saw that she had scored 89 in Chinese and 96 in mathematics. The comment on the report card was, This semester, I have made rapid progress in my studies, and I hope to make persistent efforts!
"How about it, sister? Can I give you and Mom a face this time?"

Looking at her little expression waiting to be praised, Xiang Jin asked, "What's the highest score in your class this time? And how many times have you ranked in your class?"

Xiang Lan stretched out two little fingers, then three little fingers, and Xiang Jin raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? Is it No.2 or No.3?"

The little girl explained, "No, no, I am No.2 in mathematics and No.3 in Chinese."

"Second and third?" Xiang Jin said "heh", "Look at you, your little tail is up to the sky?!"

The little girl still had a proud expression on her face, "That's right, our teacher said that I made great progress this semester, don't underestimate my No.2 and No.3, I'm only comparable to the one in our class in mathematics The difference between No.1 is two points, the difference between that language and our No.2 is one and a half points, and the difference between No.1 and No.[-] is only three points.

Let me tell you that little fatty Ai Can is not as high as I am in the exam this time, and he is just about to pass two subjects. I passed the exam. "

"Then how much did Xiang Yao take the exam this time?"

The little girl was silent for a while, "She scored 85 points in the math test this time, and [-] points in the Chinese test, but to be honest, she has made great progress in studying immersion this semester! Oh, sister, wait a minute, I still have it Here's the certificate, I'll show it to you," said the little girl, and ran back into the room in a hurry.

When she came out with the certificate, Xiang Jin saw that it actually said that she won the No. 2 test result of the whole class, "Is this the No. 2 total score?"

The little girl nodded her head vigorously, "Well! Sis, you said last time that I would be rewarded as long as I pass the final exam this time. How about it? What reward will you give me?" shot.

Xiang Jin slapped her directly on the palm of the hand, "If you say you are fat, you will still be out of breath! Let me ask you, did you get No.1 in the exam?"

The little girl quit immediately, "Hey, sister, you only said that I would get a prize if I passed the test this time, but you didn't say that I would get a prize if I passed the No.1 exam? You can't deny it like that?! "

Xiang Jin really wanted to say that she has standards here, but when she thought that if the standards were set too high for her, it might dampen her enthusiasm, she took five dollars out of her pocket and threw them at her, "Who Said to deny it? Now, I will reward you with five dollars!"

"Huh? Only five yuan?!" The little girl was still a little unhappy.

Seeing that she refused to pick it up, Xiang Jin said, "Why, you still don't like it? Well, let's just forget about it!" As she spoke, she made a gesture to take the money back.

The little girl became anxious all of a sudden, and just as she was in a hurry, she hugged her arm and snatched the money, "Who said you dislike it? I don't dislike it, although it is a bit different from the data I imagined , but at any rate, the mosquito’s legs are small, so why are they still meat?!”

"Cut," Xiang Jin resigned, "You mean imaginary data? What data are you imagining?"

The little girl lowered her head and muttered, "I thought you had to give me ten yuan as a reward?! Who knew it was only half of it!"

Xiang Jin said, "Five yuan is still too little for you, but you have a big appetite?! Do you know that many students who live on campus only get five yuan for their pocket money for a week?! What do you want now that you have earned someone's pocket money for a week?"

"No, sister, they only pay five yuan a week?" The little girl immediately had a surprised and unbelievable expression.

Xiang Jin squinted at her again angrily, "What do you think? When we were at Lao Xiang's house, we rarely had two yuan of pocket money a year. Why, now that our house is independent, you I have saved more than 100 yuan in my hand, so I don’t take the five yuan into my eyes?”

The little girl bowed her head in a guilty conscience and said nothing, so Xiang Jin taught her, "I can tell you, Xiang Lan, don't start to be complacent or pretentious after achieving a little bit of achievement that is not as big as a dust grain. What do you count?"

Xiao Yadu lowered her eyes and retorted in a low voice, "I didn't!"

"Hmph, it's not that I don't know what kind of personality you are? I'm so overjoyed! Let me tell you, Xiang Lan, I just squeezed it out of my own teeth for the five dollars. Don't take advantage of it. Are you being nice?"

"No, sister, are you still squeezing between your teeth? You are much richer than me!" The little girl didn't believe what she said.

Xiang Jin glared at her, "How can I have any money? At the beginning of the summer, Yan Chen and I partnered to make some corn peeling objects and made some money, but I used all the money to build our My house and shop were opened, and the school rewarded several hundred yuan later, but didn’t I use it to buy you ready-made clothes, trousers, shoes and socks, and sheets and quilts at home? I don’t do that anymore Where do you get the money for the stuff that peels corn kernels?!"

The little girl said "Oh" in a low-spirited manner, "Okay then!" Then she chased Xiang Jin and asked her how many points she had scored this time, but Xiang Jin ignored her and told her not to inquire about her affairs. After speaking, he went straight back to the house.

The little girl made up her own mind, "Could it be that my sister failed the exam this time?!"

In the next two days, Xiang Jin had nothing to do, so she started to study food. She had promised her second aunt before that she would help them figure out their business. After thinking about it, she thought it would be better to teach them how to make some pastries. , so that others can usually buy it back and use it as a snack for the children at home to coax.

But for this pastry, she had eaten a lot of various pastries in her previous life, but she only made it once, and it was a cake that she saw someone else make in a rice cooker when she had nothing to do to browse the web. The cake she made, and then tried it out, but it didn't work that well, so she had to try a few more times this time.

Because the level of technology in this era is not yet developed, no one in their place uses that kind of rice cooker, and there is no egg beater, so it is really troublesome to make cakes. It took Xiang Jin two days to make it. After making this cake, she finally gave up making it altogether, and then she suddenly thought of a snack called "Paiguoer" that she had eaten when she was very young.

The food is made of flour, and it is very simple to make. It is to fry the dough. Some will wrap a length of ribs about two centimeters in the dough, and some will put a small piece inside. Put the pig suet oil together and fry it in the oil pan. Finally, the noodle with pork ribs will be coated with a layer of brown sugar juice and sesame seeds, and the noodle with pork suet will be coated with a layer of the flour. Finely crushed white granulated sugar.

She liked to eat these two kinds of noodles when she was a child, and they sold them well, especially during the holidays, almost every household would weigh a few catties to eat, or to entertain guests, Xiang Jin She felt that the Chinese New Year was coming up here soon, and there were a lot of people rushing to buy new year's goods recently, so she could ask her uncles to make some for sale.

Thinking of this, she immediately took action, and then started to make seriously according to the memory of her childhood. I have to say that Xiang Jin is quite talented in making food, except for the first few In addition to the fact that the frying temperature of the dough was not well controlled, the next few batches were still quite decent, and then she boiled brown sugar juice and ground white sugar, and finally she brought the finished products to the family When eating, they all said it was delicious.

Xiang Jin smiled, "Okay, then let uncle and the others try to make some and sell them."

Her mother, Yang Juyun, said, "Are you thinking of a way for your uncles?"

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded, "Isn't it going to be Chinese New Year soon? Many people will go to buy New Year's goods. At that time, Uncle and the others can fry some and sell them as snacks for New Year's goods. The business should be still Not bad."

In fact, she wanted to make some sanzi for them to taste, but due to time constraints, today is inconvenient, and tomorrow she has to go to the town to deliver the batch of design drawings for Manager Huang and the others with Yan Chen. So at the earliest, I have to wait until I come back tomorrow afternoon to get it. If this is not done, I won’t mention it for now.

Then Xiang Jin asked her mother to bring some of this noodle fruit to her uncles and try it out on the street tomorrow. If they thought it was okay, she would come back with her mother after closing the stall tomorrow afternoon, and she would teach them how to do it.

"Oh, yes!" Yang Juyun hurriedly responded.
