Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"No one wants to be a street stalker, including me, so you don't have to comfort me."

He just didn't come across the right job. A job that requires going to and from get off work at a fixed time every day is not suitable for him, and he is not interested in living on thirty or forty yuan a month.

Lin Shu suppressed his laughter and said sympathetically: "I understand, you don't like constraints."

Gu Jiu coughed and said, "Actually, I think your job is great. You can go into the mountains and walk around every day, see different scenery, and you don't have to get along with people. It's so comfortable to be alone and free."

It was the first time that Lin Shu heard someone say that she worked hard climbing mountains and digging for herbs every day. However, apart from the hard work, because of the system, she did earn more money than she did at a job.

Based on this, since someone offered her a job paying 20 or 30 yuan a month, she was unwilling to change.

"You have a good vision!"

"Haha." Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said to her with a smile: "How about I be your assistant, follow you up the mountains and rivers every day, and dig herbs with you?"

"You?" Lin Shu didn't expect this kid to have such an idea. He looked at him with suspicion: "Can you bear the hardship of going up the mountain?"

Gu Jiu raised his arm to show off his biceps, "What do you think?"

"..."

Lin Shu looked at him. He had porcelain-white skin, three-dimensional sculpted facial features, narrow and long phoenix eyes that were bright, and lips of moderate thickness that contained a faint smile. It was hard to imagine that such a handsome and unruly young man would beg her to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Moreover, his appearance was very attractive to women. If he put on a decent suit, he would look like a prince playing in the world.

"You're staring at me intently, and my hair is messy?" Gu Jiu used his hand as a comb to comb his hair back.

Lin Shu's lips curled slightly, with a deep smile in his eyes, "No, I suddenly realized that even simple clothes can't hide your unique charm."

"......" Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was being teased.

I don't know what's going on, but the scene of rescuing someone last time suddenly popped up in my mind. Thinking of her proud curves, I couldn't help but feel my face getting a little hot.

"You are a woman... a woman, you are so brave!"

Isn't she afraid that a single man like him will pounce on her? Can men be flirted with casually?

"Puchi!" Lin Shu didn't expect this guy to be so easily teased. Looking at his pink and tender earlobes, she sighed that the men of this era were too innocent, making even an old aunt like her unable to bear to tease them.

Hearing the laughter, Gu Jiu's face and neck turned red.

......

Because we have a dinner party in the evening, and today happens to be Saturday, the company starts the holiday in the afternoon, and we have one day off on Sunday.

Currently, companies and schools still have one and a half days off per week, and the two-day weekend was not implemented until the 1990s.

Gu Jiu rode his bike to inform his brother. Lin Shu went out with him carrying a basket of vegetables. When they passed the nearest state-owned farmers' market, Gu Jiu stopped his bike.

Lin Shu jumped off the back of the bicycle. Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu, who was carrying the basket of vegetables with a natural look, with a complicated look in his eyes. "Comrade Lin Shu, I'm sorry to bother you. Please use the money and buy more vegetables that you like."

"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements."

Lin Shu is not a country girl who has never been out of the countryside, but an old lady who has lived for decades. In her previous life, she went to the vegetable market every day to buy fresh vegetables. How could she be at a loss? Buying vegetables is a piece of cake for her.

She knows very well which part of pork is the most tender, which piece of meat is suitable for making dumplings, and which piece of meat is suitable for stir-frying.

Lin Shu smiled and waved to Gu Jiu, who was still reluctant to leave. He then pedaled his bike and it rode away.

Looking at the figure going away, he muttered, "What a worrying little brat!"

This was the first time that Lin Shu visited a state-owned farmers' market of this era after his rebirth.

When you enter the market, the first thing you see is rows of displays, with fresh produce, poultry, seafood, etc. divided into separate areas.

Lin Shu went to the meat stall first. It was already afternoon and the meat there was definitely not as fresh as in the morning. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot yet, so there was still some meat left over from the end to choose from.

With his only one-pound meat ticket, Lin Shu bought a one-pound piece of fat meat, and also bought a pig's stomach which did not require a meat ticket.

Passing by a tofu stall, she bought a piece of white tofu. The fish in the fish stall pond had been sold out, and thinking that there were still pheasants and rabbits at home, Lin Shu didn't think too much about it, and turned around to buy some peppers and green vegetables as ingredients. When she saw the processed stone snails and clams, she also bought a pound of each.

After returning to the Gu family's old house, Lin Shu first boiled water to cook the pheasant and skinned the rabbit.

I can do all these things with ease thanks to the fact that in my previous life, I worked in restaurants and taverns to support my son, and I learned how to prepare ingredients and cook in the kitchen.

After the two kinds of game were processed, Lin Shu began to clean the pig's stomach.

Clean the pig's stomach, cut it into strips, blanch it in water and put it into a casserole. Cut the clam meat into strips, blanch it in water and put it into the casserole. Add ginger slices and simmer it slowly on a coal stove.

The pork belly and clam soup would taste better with some peanuts. Due to the lack of ingredients in that era, we can only use these two ingredients, but it tastes good after stewing it and seasoning it well.

After the snails were processed and cleaned, they were set aside. Lin Shu prepared the snails and pheasant to make a dish of snail roast chicken, the wild rabbit to make spicy rabbit meat, and the tofu and scallion to make scallion roast tofu.

The rest is stir-fried dried mushrooms with chili peppers, shredded potatoes, and stir-fried lettuce slices.

Lin Shu first made this arrangement and prepared the side dishes. Whether to add more dishes would depend on how many friends Gu Jiu invited back.

Just as these were prepared, and before Lin Shu had time to sit down and have a drink of water and rest, the sound of bicycle bells and the laughter of several people came from the door of the ancestral home.

"Comrade Lin Shu, I have invited someone here."

Gu Jiu's voice arrived before the person arrived.

Then, Lin Shu saw that the first person to come in was Gu Jiu, followed by two unfamiliar boys who were probably about the same age as Gu Jiu. The last to come in were Xu Ming and his sister.

This is not his home, Lin Shu couldn't say welcome, he could only smile at them politely, "I have prepared the dishes, you can just fry them later."

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lin Shu to move so quickly. "Okay, let's go to the hall and have some tea first."

Xu Ting looked unhappy since she entered the door, and she snorted at Lin Shu when she passed by her.

Lin Shu was a little puzzled and just thought that she was a young lady with a difficult temper.

"Wow~ Brother Jiu, what a good day today is! You prepared so many snacks, melon seeds, peanuts and rice noodles!"

"Wow, there are also White Rabbit milk candies, Jiuge, you are rich!"

Gu Jiu ignored them and introduced Lin Shu who followed in, "This is my brother Li Yuanchao."

Li Yuanchao is about 1.6 meters tall, which is not tall among men. He is thin, has single eyelids and small eyes.

"This is also my brother Tang Jianjun."

Tang Jianjun's height is average among them, about 1.75 meters, with a square face. In this era, his appearance is considered the type of national husband.
