Yun Jin and Li Aimei were picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, which were planted by Li's mother when she had nothing to do.

Yun Jin picked a cucumber and started eating it: "Have you given your nephew the gift you bought?"

"I gave it to my sister-in-law. She liked it very much and said I have good taste." Li Aimei smiled.

Yun Jin found it funny. Of course, how could a gold bracelet be bad?

"I also want to thank my sister-in-law for lending me money!" Li Aimei didn't have enough money. Even though she lived frugally, she was still short of dozens of dollars. She borrowed twenty dollars from Yun Jin to buy a bracelet.

Originally, she wanted to buy just one, weighing three or five grams, but when she heard she wanted to give it as a gift, she wanted to give it as a pair. Li Aimei gritted her teeth and bought a pair, spending almost a hundred yuan.

The current price of gold is more than eight yuan per gram, and a pair of bracelets weighs eleven grams, which is eighty-eight yuan.

There are also labor costs and other things, which add up to almost a hundred yuan.

"I'm not in a hurry." Yun Jin was not asking for the money back.

Li Aimei knew what she meant and said worriedly, "It would be great if I could do something to earn some money. I can't just stay at home and eat, drink and play all day during the two-month summer vacation."

Actually, there was nothing much to play with, and Li Aimei had to help take care of her nephew.

Yun Jin was reminded by her and thought of something. She asked with a smile, "Do you want to make money?"

Li Aimei's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, do you have any way to make money?"

Yun Jin hooked her finger: "If you can endure hardship, I have a way."

Li Aimei's eyes lit up even more: "I can endure hardship, I can endure any hardship."

"Okay, let's discuss it with Nian Gao's dad tonight and see if he agrees. If he has no objection, we can make money together!" Yun Jin blinked.

Li Aimei is already looking forward to it.

......

He Tingchuan came back from the training ground. Yun Jin prepared the dishes and waited for him to come back and cook them.

When Yunjin was cooking, she also steamed two egg custards. Xiaoniangao liked egg custard, so she gave one spoonful to her father, one spoonful to her mother, and one spoonful to Xiaodoubao's bowl. The rest was hers.

Today we had minced meat and egg custard, which was much better than ordinary egg custard and had a meaty taste.

After eating and drinking, the family of four went out for a walk.

Yun Jin listened to the croaking of frogs outside the compound and said to He Tingchuan, "I want to open a barbecue stall. What do you think?"

He Tingchuan thought he had misheard: "What are you doing?"

"Selling barbecue." Yun Jin's eyes sparkled. "I'm so bored every day. Why don't I set up a barbecue stall at night? Since there's no crackdown on speculation these days, it's not too much for me to set up a stall, right?"

"It will be very tiring." He Tingchuan knew that his wife was not the type to work.

"It's okay. I'll give the ideas and Ai Mei will do the work." Yun Jin had already thought about it.

He Tingchuan was reluctant, thinking that she would only be here for two months, and his salary was enough to support them, mother and daughter. There was no need to work so hard. He just wanted Yun Jin to be happy and have no worries about food and clothing.

Seeing his resistance, Yun Jin tried her best to act coquettishly and cutely.

He Tingchuan didn't give in.

Yun Jin could only use his trump card and whispered a few words to him. He Tingchuan also wanted to refuse. After all, his wife said such words. Shouldn't he give his wife some face?

At night, Xiao Nian Gao was taken away after he fell asleep, and the couple closed the door. When it was Yun Jin's turn to fulfill her promise, she did what she said, cooperated in every way, and was very proactive. He Tingchuan was happy again.

The next day, after He Tingchuan went to training, Li Aimei came to inquire about the news. Seeing Yun Jin, who looked exhausted, she asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Jin waved her hand and said, "It's okay. There were mosquitoes last night. I swatted them all night and didn't sleep well. I must swatter them in advance tonight."

Li Aimei, the naive little girl, actually thought it was a mosquito's pot. She cursed the stinky mosquitoes a few times and said that she would go cut some mugwort and fumigate it at night, and even the most powerful mosquitoes would run away.

Yunjin, can a mosquito with the surname He also run away?

Getting back to the point, Yun Jin said excitedly, "I've already talked to Nian Gao's father. He promised me to let me do it myself. If you're willing, we can start preparing today."

"Okay!" Li Aimei was excited. She was crazy about making money.

In this way, Yun Jin and Li Aimei spent the whole morning out of the compound, ordered a few simple tables and benches, and then went to the village where a bamboo basket weaver lived, bought a lot of bamboo, and paid him to cut it into bamboo sticks.

I took the little rice cake and ran outside all day.

When they came back before dark, all three of them were exhausted.

He Tingchuan finished cooking, looked at the person who didn't want to talk, and touched his head: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Not yet. I'll tell you when I need it." Yun Jin lay on his back: "Wait until my barbecue is open, and you'll have to come and help me."

"it is good!"

Yun Jin hugged him and said with a smile, "You have to pay."

He Tingchuan raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll work for you."

Yun Jin: “….”

Is it work or people?

The next day, all the sisters-in-law in the compound knew that Yun Jin and Li Aimei were going to buy barbecue.

"What, buy barbecue?"

"Deputy Brigadier General He's salary is so high, yet she's still trying to make money from us?"

"This woman isn't afraid of being arrested. Isn't she forbidden to do business?"

"She's profiteering!"

Mrs. Gao heard this and argued, "How can it be speculation? They call it individual business. They say they've already applied to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, so it's legal and compliant."

"I think I heard something about reform and opening up, and the individual economy, on the radio."

"Yes, yes, that's it. We saw it on TV. The leader said it's okay to do business."

When they heard that they could do business, those who were planning to report Yun Jin for speculation and profiteering stomped their feet in anger.

Yun Jin didn't care at all what they said. She had already spread the word and asked He Tingchuan to come forward and invite some of his team leaders to liven up the atmosphere. She said that they would treat everyone tonight and it would be free.

As for the ingredients, the beans, eggplants, cucumbers, leeks, etc. grown by Mother Li were sold to Yun Jin and the others at wholesale prices.

The crayfish and fish were all caught by the children in the compound. Yun Jin bought them at one cent per pound and sold them at 1.98 per plate.

Snails are 0.68 per plate.

Grilled fish is 1.68 per piece.

Garlic eggplant 0.38 each.

As for other green vegetables, beans, and leeks, they are all one cent each and are skewered on bamboo sticks.

There is also corn, 0.3 yuan per piece, which is a whole roasted corn.

Not the kind that are strung together one by one.

As for meat, we bought pork belly, which was also sold in strings, 30 cents a string, and each string contained two thin slices.

Forget beef; it's hard to buy these days.

Yun Jin would buy pig lungs and pig hearts whenever she could, basically it all depended on Mrs. Gao's ability. It was impossible for Yun Jin to get up early.

The job of buying groceries was given to Mrs. Gao.

Li Aimi's job is to grill the meat.

Yunjin is the proprietress, responsible for receiving guests.

After the three of them were busy preparing, they turned on a light after dark and waited at the gate of the compound for the people invited by He Tingchuan to come and support them, as well as other people who came to watch the fun.

Yun Jin even specially invited Political Commissar Li to come over: "Try it and see how it tastes and whether it is clean and hygienic."

Political Commissar Li ate a skewer of grilled pork belly out of respect. It was delicious to begin with, and after grilling it like this and sprinkling it with chili powder and seasonings, it tasted surprisingly good.

Political Commissar Li ate without saying a word: "It tastes good and is clean and hygienic, but you must complete all the necessary procedures and don't do anything rash."

Yun Jin nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Political Commissar, I will definitely not do anything rash."

As he said that, he asked He Tingchuan to invite the political commissar to sit over, and prepare peanuts, drinks and soda.

He Tingchuan drank two glasses with him, which made Political Commissar Li so happy that he said he wanted to go find the division commander.

Yun Jin understood immediately and immediately packed up some of the barbecued meat, grilled fish, and grilled leeks that Li Aimei had just prepared and asked Political Commissar Li to take it over, saying that they could eat while chatting.

Political Commissar Li glanced at Yun Jin with admiration and said to He Tingchuan, "You've married a good wife, so be happy!"

He Tingchuan: “…”

Should I be happy secretly?

I am always smiling openly. Didn’t you see the smile on my lips?
