To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Chapter 27 The Capitalist Lady in the Period Literature 4

Sheng Huizhen got on the forest farm's big truck and admired the mountain scenery, her mood inexplicably improved.

Hu Zekai in his arms opened his eyes wide and looked at the people around him.

The educated youth were chattering about this together. There were dozens of people in the big truck, and they had endless topics to talk about.

Sheng Huizhen and her daughter sat in the corner, listening quietly without expressing any opinions.

When we arrived at the county town, the driver asked everyone to go shopping and gather at the original place after four hours.

Sheng Huizhen felt that since her family had so many tickets left, she might as well spend the ones that were about to expire.

The department store in the county town has two floors and is quite large.

The first floor has everything from food and clothing to oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. The second floor has big items like bicycles, radios, watches, and furniture.

Heilongjiang Province is indeed a milk source base. The new batch of milk powder has arrived and it’s only two yuan a bag without a ticket.

Sheng Huizhen said, "Give me ten bags and twenty yuan." The salesperson wrote out the receipt, glanced at the child in Sheng Huizhen's arms, and without a word, clipped the receipt onto an iron clip and passed it along a wire to the cashier.

Things these days are really genuine and worth the money. Cakes are made of egg whites, sugar and soybean oil, and butter costs one yuan and eight cents per pound with food coupons. The female salesperson never stops knitting a sweater.

Sheng Huizhen, comrade, I want 20 kilograms of cake. The saleswoman rolled her eyes and asked, "Why are you buying so much?"

Sheng Huizhen, I brought this for a neighbor. Transportation is inconvenient, so we only go out once every year or two.

The salesperson nodded and issued a receipt for 21.6 yuan.

Sheng Huizhen has no shortage of watches. She owns several Omega, Vacheron Constantin and Rolex.

Seeing many people queuing up for blankets, Sheng Huizhen took one look at the woolen blanket with bright red and green peony flowers, and thought it was prickly to the touch. She didn't like it and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

No matter whether you want a ticket or not, it's uncomfortable to wear this thing on your body.

At the underwear counter, Sheng Huizhen saw pure cotton autumn clothes and autumn trousers. The quality was good and the price of a set was 3.6 yuan, which required three feet of cloth coupons. Sheng Huizhen bought four sets. Most people dislike pure white ones because they are not resistant to stains.

Sheng Huizhen doesn't mind, she uses the washing machine to wash clothes.

Pure cotton socks cost three cents a pair, and nylon socks cost eighty cents a pair. Sheng Huizhen looked at the ridiculous prices and decisively bought ten pairs of pure white socks.

Don’t ask why I don’t buy colored ones. The dyeing technology at that time was not very good, and colored ones would fade easily.

Sheng Huizhen didn't even spend a hundred yuan after a shopping spree at the department store.

He left the department store with his bags, found a small alley where no one was around, put most of his things in the alley, and only carried a bulging bag for show.

A visit to the state-owned restaurant was a must. I ordered a hot pot pork with three fresh delicacies and a cold dish called stir-fried double crispy dumplings. I also ordered ten steamed buns stuffed with pork and scallions, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

The waiter glanced at Sheng Huizhen and thought that corruption and waste were extremely serious crimes.

Sheng Huizhen took out a few lunch boxes from her big bag, saying that transportation was inconvenient so she bought more at a time and ate them slowly at home.

After a while, the home-cooked cold dish egg soup was ready. The waiter stood at the window and shouted that the dish was ready and then left.

Sheng Huizhen carried her child on her back and brought the dishes to her table. Waiters were not to be trifled with these days, as there was a sign on the wall prohibiting beating or scolding of customers.

Sheng Huizhen knew that these people had nothing to do all day, and if anyone dared to say something rude, the whole restaurant would come out to take sides.

Soon, the dishes were all ready, and Sheng Huizhen devoured them with relish. The sweet and sour pork in sweet and sour sauce was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The homely cold dish was refreshing and refreshing, and the three fresh delicacies, with their rich, red sauce and garlicky aroma, looked delicious. The double-fried crispy dish, perfectly cooked and skillfully cut, had no offal taste, and was crispy, tender, and chewy.

Half an hour later, Sheng Huizhen had a full meal and drank her fill. She packed the leftovers into her lunch box and also packed the remaining buns.

Sheng Huizhen was so full that she almost had to hold on to the wall to leave. Northeastern dishes are large in portion and he ordered a lot.

If you don't control your mouth for a moment, you will eat too much. Sheng Huizhen took out a hawthorn pill and chewed it.

I saw Zhang Yujiao, an educated youth from the forest farm, arguing with a couple in front of me.

Sheng Huizhen, holding her child, went over to watch the fun.

I heard the couple say that Zhang Yujiao was their daughter and wanted to elope with a man.

This is intolerable. We have run into human traffickers.

Sheng Huizhen shouted, "You are lying. This is the educated youth from our forest farm. When did she become your daughter?"

And he shouted loudly, "Catch the human traffickers!" This shout was earth-shattering.

Half of the people on the street came out. People from Northeast China have zero tolerance for human traffickers. They surrounded the traffickers and beat them up!

Even the chefs from state-owned restaurants joined the fight with their cooking spoons, and a few spoons of food knocked out two of the human traffickers' teeth.

Northeastern women are not easy to mess with. Several aunts went up and scratched the human trafficker, and some kicked him hard. There was a loud snap, and the human trafficker rolled on the ground in pain.

The trafficker had two accomplices who went to rescue the trafficker who was surrounded, but they were also pinned to the ground and beaten.

The police arrived soon, but everyone was so angry that they couldn't squeeze in at all.

When the police finally squeezed into the crowd, the gang of human traffickers were already dying, but this older woman reached out and kicked them again.

The police carried the human traffickers onto a borrowed land truck and took Zhang Yujiao, Sheng Huizhen and several enthusiastic citizens to take statements.

Sheng Huizhen stayed in the police station for an hour before coming out. The police followed the clues and arrested six more human traffickers in the county.

This group of human traffickers are all from the same hometown. They traveled all over the country to commit crimes. As soon as they set foot in the Northeast, their lair was wiped out on the first order.

Fortunately, the police arrived early, otherwise these human traffickers would have been beaten to death.

These human traffickers are doomed to die. These days, human traffickers are eaten like peanuts once they are caught.

Zhang Yujiao thanked Sheng Huizhen profusely, and only calmed down after returning to the forest farm and getting in the car.

The people on the bus also hated the human traffickers to the core and cursed them to death.

Sheng Huizhen had a good reputation in the forest farm. People who talked about her said that she had a good character, but her background was a little bad.

Sheng Huizhen returned to the forest farm to heat the kang, clean the house, and feed her child.

Soon Zhang Yujiao came to the door with two packages of cakes and a piece of floral cloth.

Sheng Huizhen said she didn't want any thank-you gift from her, but Zhang Yujiao was almost crying and insisted on giving her anything.

Sheng Huizhen accepted the thank-you gift, turned around and took out two pounds of bacon for Zhang Yujiao as a return gift and took it back.

Zhang Yujiao refused many times but finally accepted the return gift.

The snowflakes came suddenly. Sheng Huizhen slaughtered the New Year pig and put it outside to freeze. It was frozen solid in a few hours. She kept pouring water on the pork and freezing it, which locked the pork's freshness and prevented it from drying out.

Sheng Huizhen was craving dumplings, so she chopped ten pounds of minced meat and made a lot of dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, leeks, eggs, pork, and dried shrimp skins.

Sheng Huizhen was very clever and skillful. She squeezed out pieces of material that looked like gold ingots one by one from her hands. The white material filled up the curtain. After she finished wrapping a curtain, she would take it out to freeze.

After a day's work, I finally finished wrapping it and put half of it into an empty water tank.

It is also very convenient to cook some dumplings in the morning when you don’t want to cook.

The next morning, Sheng Huizhen cooked more than ten dumplings, heated up the leftover food from the state-owned restaurant yesterday, and went to work with her child on her back.

Everyone in the kitchen knew that it was not easy for her to take care of the child alone, but no one said anything about her bringing the child to work.

Sheng Huizhen secretly took two bottles of good wine and gave them to the chef. The chef then stopped caring about these things. Kitchen work was just trivial and the workers didn't earn as much as the front-line workers.

After a busy morning every day, the rest of the time is yours.

At noon, Aunt Liu from the kitchen said the store had just received a batch of frozen pears and red fruit. Aunt Liu's daughter was a salesperson there and had inside information.

Sheng Huizhen hurried home to get a bag of flour and went to the store with Sister Liu to grab these hot items.

This is a good thing. The winter in Northeast China is long and winter fruits are hard to come by. Eating frozen pears can clear away heat and reduce fire, because sleeping on the kang in Northeast China in winter can actually cause people to get more irritable.

The red fruit is actually crabapple. The frozen one is sour and sweet and tastes as good as ice cream.

Sheng Huizhen has no shortage of fruits and is craving for this. Due to the national support for the front line, the forest farm’s supplies are not that scarce.

There are also many unplanned items that do not require tickets. Today, in addition to selling frozen pear blossom red fruit, there is also a batch of cuttlefish that does not require tickets.

The forest farm workers weren't short of money; every family worked and earned a decent salary. When Sheng Huizhen arrived at the store, several people were already lining up.

Everyone bought dozens of kilograms of frozen pear blossoms and red fruits, but the cuttlefish were limited to five kilograms per person.

Sheng Huizhen walked home happily, carrying frozen goods in one hand and Hu Zekai on her back.
