Hou Xiaoyun put away the things on the kang.

Without even turning around, he said to Lu Zhendong, "The Queen is getting married. Go and inform every household, whether they are polite or not. I am waiting to receive the gifts properly."

"Now that people are here, what should we do with the banquet?" Lu Zhendong said in a muffled voice.

"Why hold a banquet? Let's take everyone to Old Du's house when they arrive. His banquet hall is big and there will definitely be enough seats for everyone."

Hou Xiaoyun had already made a plan.

You can collect the money yourself and have the banquet at Lao Du’s house.

When Lu Zhendong heard this, his face looked a little unhappy and he was very reluctant.

"Did you hear me? Just fart!" Hou Xiaoyun saw that Lu Zhendong didn't say anything, so she shouted again.

"I heard it." Lu Zhendong murmured in response, then walked out of the room with his cigarette in hand.

Hou Xiaoyun glared at Lu Zhendong's back and shouted, "Just like that idiot son of yours!"

"Hurry up and go now, don't dawdle!"

In the side room.

Lu Ye used a funnel to pour sesame paste into a small bottle.

A large bowl of sesame paste was filled with as many as thirty-five bottles.

Lu Ye took Su Mengyao's paper and pen to do the math.

I used almost five pounds of sesame seeds and squeezed a total of one pound and six ounces of sesame oil. The ratio of water to sesame seeds is about 1:0.8. Excluding the sesame oil, the total weight of sesame paste is about seven and a half pounds.

I ate some of it myself and Su Mengyao, so now there are 35 bottles of sesame paste, which is almost enough.

The price of sesame paste is 55 cents per pound, but like sesame oil, it is in limited supply. You need a non-staple food book and register it.

He doesn't need a food allowance here, so it's cheaper, calculated at 5 cents.

一斤芝麻成本4毛钱加一斤粮票,产出0.3斤香油和大约1.5斤的芝麻酱,那就是3毛加7毛5分钱,再算上每个瓶子1分钱的成本。

The final income for a pound of sesame seeds is about 55 cents.

The profit margin is 137%.

"This deal is profitable, and the target is small. It's much better than dealing in dried tofu." After calculating the account, Lu Ye smiled.

In his previous life, Lu Ye had no job after coming to the city. In order to survive, he learned how to do business from a group of speculators.

The first business he started was selling dried tofu.

Several people carried shoulder poles and ran around in the alleys all day long. In order to avoid being arrested by those people from the Anti-Speculation Office, they didn't even dare to go to the streets.

no way.

At that time, reform and opening up was still a vague idea.

It was not until November this year that 18 villagers in Xiaogang Village pressed their red fingerprints and signed the "household contract responsibility system", becoming the first "household contract responsibility system" village in the country, which marked the beginning of reform and opening up.

Before this, if you were caught speculating and profiteering, you would be fined and detained at the very least, or sentenced to prison at the worst.

In his previous life, one of Lu Ye’s companions was arrested and sentenced to one and a half years.

Now that he has been reborn, he doesn't dare to provoke others, so he starts by doing some small things to accumulate some capital.

The more understated the better.

Lu Zhendong walked out of the main room and glanced at the quiet side room.

Then we went door to door to inform everyone.

The Lu family has had a bad reputation in the village in recent years. Ever since Hou Xiaoyun came, the Lu family never gives gifts when other people have weddings or funerals.

I get along very well with many families in the village.

At this moment, Lu Zhendong went to send out invitations, but he himself was not sure whether he could invite anyone.

After visiting one house after another, Lu Zhendong shamelessly told everyone that he was going to have a wedding. People all congratulated him with a smile and promised to come.

In two days.

During the day, Lu Ye would carry some sesame paste and sesame oil and go to the county town to sell them secretly. He would accept money or exchange them for food.

I can earn two or three dollars every day.

Life gradually became stable and I no longer had to worry about having enough food to eat.

3 month 30 number.

It was early in the morning and it was still dawn.

The main room began to busy itself with lights and decorations.

Hou Xiaoyun cut out a lot of wedding characters and pasted them everywhere.

Lu Tianci also changed into brand new leather shoes and that handsome Zhongshan suit, and was applying hair oil on his head in front of the mirror at home.

"Tianci, hurry up, someone will be coming home soon."

Hou Xiaoyun also changed into a bright red dress and tied her hair up meticulously, waiting for Du Mei to bring flowers to her new mother-in-law so that she would look better.

"I'm done."

Lu Tianci looked at himself in the mirror, full of longing for the new life that was about to begin.

"You know I'm waiting for you... If you really care about me... how could you let me spend this heartless night..."

In addition to being excited, Lu Tianci also posed in front of the mirror and sang a few lines.

"The wonderful rich life is about to begin!"

Hou Xiaoyun prepared a gift account book, waiting for someone to come and give gifts, and then record the gift money.

But after waiting for a long time, the sun had already risen high in the sky, and no one came to the house to congratulate them.

"Go out and take a look. It's already so late and no one has come yet." Hou Xiaoyun ordered Lu Zhendong, feeling a little anxious.

Lu Zhendong smoked a cigarette, stood up and walked out to the street.

The whole street was deserted, with not a single pedestrian in sight.

"Hey......"

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhendong could no longer understand that those villagers who promised him that they would come were just perfunctorily trying to please him.

His expression couldn't help but become even uglier.

It's so embarrassing that there is no one to congratulate you at your own wedding.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, Hou Xiaoyun also chased out.

"What's going on? Where did this person go?"

"I asked you to go door to door to notify everyone, but where is this person?" Hou Xiaoyun asked Lu Zhendong coldly.

Lu Zhendong sighed helplessly: "It's because you usually stop us from going to other people's houses when they have something to do. Now it's our family's turn to do something, but they won't come either."

"You're talking bullshit. Don't you know how much money your family has? If you don't have any, I can conjure up some gift money for you!"

Until now, Hou Xiaoyun didn't think there was anything wrong with herself, she just felt that those villagers were too unkind.

She completely forgot that a few days ago she was going to treat people to a banquet filled with泔水.

"I'm asking you! What do we do now?"

"If they don't come, what can I do? I can't force them to come." Lu Zhendong murmured in response.

Finally, a figure appeared on the street, and the destination was none other than their Lu family.

A young man in his twenties clasped his hands together as he approached.

He shouted, "Congratulations... Congratulations, Uncle Lu. My mom said that when my grandma passed away, your aunt helped and gave her a gift. She asked me to come over and make up for Lu Ye's gift money."

The young man took out 5 cents and handed it over.

Lu Zhendong was stunned.

Hou Xiaoyun's face froze, and the joy of receiving the gift money disappeared instantly.

In fact, if Lu Zhendong had not gone door to door to report the news yesterday, no one would have paid the 5 cents.

Mechanically taking the 5 cents, Lu Zhendong invited: "Come in for some tea and some wedding candy..."

"No, I'll go back first. There's still a lot of work waiting for me to do at home."

The young man turned around and left without even writing down the gift account, and it was obvious that he had no intention of waiting for the Lu family to return the gift.

Hou Xiaoyun snatched the money from Lu Zhendong's hand and stomped her feet in anger.

"They'll all die of the plague! There's not a single person in this huge village who shows any compassion!"
