Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day

The night is deep.

Su Mengyao sat in a corner of the kang, still holding the book in her hand, and refused to lie down to sleep.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at Lu Ye from time to time.

Lu Ye covered the sesame paste with a lid and put the sesame oil away to prevent it from being harmed by rats.

"At night, you sleep at the head of the kang, and I sleep at the foot."

After saying that, Lu Ye opened his bedding and spread it at the end of the kang.

Su Mengyao looked at the uncovered window and pondered, "Can you use something to block the window? There's no privacy at all."

Lu Ye looked at the window. It was okay to sleep alone, but Su Mengyao was a girl after all, and it was indeed inappropriate for her to sleep without any shelter at night.

Thinking of the bed sheet that Su Mengyao used to carry clothes when moving things during the day, it would be perfect to use it as a curtain.

"Use your bed sheet to block it. I only have one bed sheet, nothing can block it."

Su Mengyao pursed her lips and threw the folded bed sheet over.

Lu Ye hung the bed sheet on the window, which was just enough to block it tightly.

Then he took off his clothes and got into bed without any extra movements.

After a long time,

Su Mengyao didn't put down the book until she heard Lu Ye's low snoring.

He undressed, took off his coat, and quietly got into his bed.

He reached out and touched the object under the pillow, then fell asleep peacefully.

Silent all night.

The next day, the rooster crowed and woke Lu Ye from his sleep again.

Su Mengyao was already dressed and was sitting on the kang reading a book, with her bedding already folded.

Seeing Lu Ye wake up, Su Mengyao just glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Go cook. After eating, I still have to go to the county."

Lu Ye climbed out of the bed and gave instructions to Su Mengyao.

That's it again.

Su Mengyao bit her thin lips with her pearly teeth, and a look of anger appeared on her face.

Seeing that Su Mengyao didn't move, Lu Ye added: "Don't forget the conditions you promised me."

In exchange, Su Mengyao has to take on the housework of the family.

"There's no vegetables at home, so I can only make soup."

"As long as it's edible." Lu Ye is not picky about food.

Su Mengyao put down the book, stood up, picked up the noodle bag and went to the kitchen.

Lu Ye washed his face and checked the five bottles of sesame oil he had filled yesterday.

After a night of sedimentation, the sesame paste residue in the sesame oil had sunk to the bottom, and the sesame oil on top was clear and transparent. Lu Ye carefully poured the pure sesame oil in the bottle into another empty bottle.

Then prepare them one by one and pour the sesame oil in the three small bottles.

Got four bottles of pure fragrant oil.

After finishing all this, Su Mengyao's soup was also ready.

Lu Ye mixed a spoonful of sesame paste and it tasted so delicious.

Su Mengyao also followed Lu Ye's method and added a spoonful of sesame paste to the soup. The originally bland soup suddenly became much more flavorful.

"I'm going to the county later and I'll see if I can exchange these bottles of sesame oil for something. If I don't come back at noon, you can do whatever you want. If you go out, remember to lock the door to prevent those two from coming over and causing trouble."

"Yeah." Su Mengyao responded.

Hua County is a large county with an area of ​​3000 square kilometers and a population of 35.

The primary industry is well developed, with many heavy industrial enterprises.

Compared with the countryside, the life of the workers' families in the county is simply too good.

For an ordinary worker, the monthly salary during the first year of apprenticeship is 17.84 yuan.

In the second year, add another two yuan per month, bringing the total to 19.84 yuan.

Add two more in the third year.

Until the fourth year of graduation, you can get 36 yuan from "Wansui" every month.

If there are two workers in a family, it would be even more amazing. Their living conditions would definitely be far ahead of other families.

At that time in the countryside, a full-time worker could only earn about 3 to 5 cents for 10 divisions of labor, and the monthly income was only about 10 to 15 yuan.

When Lu Ye first started working in the fields, he was assigned 5 work points because of his young age. That means he could only earn 5 work points for the same day's work, and 3 cents in two days.

This shows how huge the gap is.

It is also for this reason that countless rural girls want to marry into the city, leave farming and switch to working, and live a good life from then on.

The county seat is not close to their Dongsheng Village, at least 25 li away.

Lu Ye carried a cloth bag and walked for more than an hour before arriving at the county town.

Compared to the lifeless countryside, people in the county town are obviously much more prosperous, and many people are laughing and talking as they walk.

Lu Ye crossed the street and came to the residential area of ​​the Third Machine Tool Factory with the bag on his back.

In his previous life, he left home and came to Hua County, where he also made a living.

I am very familiar with the environment here.

The people living here are all employees of the Third Machine Tool Factory. Every family has a stable job and their living conditions are good.

When Lu Ye walked into the courtyard and saw some well-dressed people, he would whisper to them, "Exchange for sesame oil, exchange for sesame oil..."

There were no chemical fertilizers in that era, so the soybean yield was limited.

The price of soybean oil has always been high, and has been around 8 cents all year round.

The price of sesame oil was even higher. In the supply and marketing cooperative, the price of sesame oil was as high as 1.5 yuan per catty plus 5 catties of food coupons.

Such an expensive price makes many people feel discouraged.

Even if I have to buy some sesame oil, I usually can't bear to eat it.

Just add a few drops when cooking noodles and they will be incredibly fragrant.

Lu Ye walked and stopped, and asked more than a dozen people before a man stopped.

I asked, "How do I change the sesame oil?"

"A small bottle of two taels costs two cents plus one jin of grain coupons, or two jin of rice plus one jin of grain coupons. A large bottle of one jin costs five times as much."

This price was carefully calculated by Lu Ye. It was much cheaper than what was sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, and he could make a lot of profit.

When the man heard this change, he was obviously tempted.

"Is your scented oil fragrant?"

"Don't worry, our sesame oil is made from pure sesame seeds. We guarantee there won't be any adulteration. Try it first. If it doesn't smell bad, you don't have to change it."

As Lu Ye spoke, he took out a small bottle from his bag and pulled off the rubber cap in front of the man.

Then he handed the lid to the person and dropped a few drops on his finger.

"Try it."

The man licked his fingers, and a rich fragrance spread on the tip of his tongue.

"It smells really good. I'll get a smaller bottle."

The man took out some money, counted out two cents and a one-pound food coupon and handed them to Lu Ye.

"Brother, I can't give you this bottle. I only have a few of them. Go home and pour out the oil, then give me the bottle." Lu Ye took the money and food coupons and said to him.

"You're being too much trouble. I'll give you an extra two cents and I'll take the bottle."

The man took out another 2-cent note and stuffed it into Lu Ye's hand, regardless of whether Lu Ye agreed or not. Then he took the bottle of sesame oil and left.

Lu Ye put the money in his pocket and couldn't help but sigh: "The people from the Third Machine Tool Factory are still so generous."

I continued strolling and it didn’t take long before the remaining sesame oil was quickly replaced.

No one offered him food in exchange; everyone gave him money plus food coupons.

It can be seen from this that the consumption power of the staff quarters of the Third Machine Tool Factory is indeed good.

Lu Ye found a secluded place to count the money and found that he had earned a total of 1.62 yuan, plus 8 kilograms of food coupons.

The cost of 5 jin of sesame seeds is 2 yuan per 5 jin of food coupons.

With this calculation, the cost of squeezing out sesame oil alone will almost be recovered, and if the remaining sesame paste is sold, this business will be quite good.

It’s not like Lu Ye doesn’t have other ways to make money, but he doesn’t dare to make any big moves now.

after all,

Those people in the Anti-Speculation Office are not just for show.

If you really run into them, the consequences will be very serious.
