Lin Xi took out both bundles: "200 sticks, that's all there is in total."

The reason why she didn't sell more was because these things were just an exaggeration of hers. In the next few months, she would concentrate on her studies. As for other things, she would have to wait until she was admitted to college.

Otherwise, you won’t do much in business, you won’t learn well in your studies, and it will be a complete waste of time.

Resurrecting her life made her understand the truth that haste makes waste.

She is not a genius, she believes that as long as she does everything slowly, everything will develop in a good direction.

Zhao Hongqi happily took out 16 yuan and said she wanted it all.

"Xiao Xi." Fan Xiumei called her from a distance. After Lin Xi put the money away, she said hello to Zhao Hongqi and then left.

Fan Xiumei was standing in front of the shoe counter. When she saw her coming over, she pointed to a pair of brown leather shoes and asked, "What do you think of that pair? You must have a decent pair of shoes in school. These are not expensive. They are only eighteen."

Yuan.”

Lin Xi lowered her head and glanced at the cloth shoes on her feet. Fan Xiumei made them for her using old clothes. Although the style was not very good-looking and even a bit old-fashioned, they were lightweight and warm.

"Mom, I go to school, not to compare. Besides, leather shoes only look good, but are actually hard and not warm. The shoes you made for me are much more comfortable than leather shoes."

If she were in her previous life, she would naturally prefer leather shoes with a shiny appearance, but after many experiences, she just wants to be comfortable and live her life.

Besides, the eldest brother in the family is getting married and needs money for everything. It is really not worth spending a lot of money on a pair of leather shoes just to look good.

Seeing her persistence, Fan Xiumei had no choice but to give up.

When the couple returned home from the commune, Lin Youfa and his sons were busy renovating the room.

The room at home is limited, so we can only build a partition in the brothers' house to use as a new house.

It just so happens that the work in the fields has been finished, and now I have some free time.

Lin Jiancheng: "Little sister, the two bags of firewood you asked for were brought to the town by bike early in the morning."

Lin Xi was still worried about which brother she should ask to take her to town. Unexpectedly, her fourth brother had already taken care of things.

After she and Fan Xiumei put down their things, they went to the kitchen cupboard and took out a bowl of dried corn kernels and lit the fire in the stove.

The third oldest Lin Jiandang came over curiously: "Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Make popcorn."

"Shouldn't I get you some sand first?"

The popcorn fried in large pots in the village will be mixed with sand, so it will be heated more evenly and cooked easily.

It is said to be popcorn, but it has not actually bloomed, but it tastes crispy, chewy and quite hungry.

Many villagers will plant some corn in their yards so that they can fry some for their children as snacks in winter.

"No need for sand. Third brother, I will make a different kind of popcorn for you today."

There is no popcorn popping machine in the village yet, so Lin Xi plans to use a big pot to make it.

She poured some oil and sugar into the pot, then put the corn kernels in. After stir-frying several times, the corn began to bloom.

She quickly covered the pot and quickly stir-fried it twice with a shovel, until all the corn kernels popped into popsicles.

"Little sister, your popcorn is so delicious." Lin Jiancheng and the others came over after smelling the aroma, each grabbed a handful and started eating eagerly.

Lin Jiandang stuffed a handful in his mouth and said vaguely: "It takes so much oil and sugar, it's strange that it doesn't taste good."

Lin Xi grabbed a handful and gave it to Lin Youfa and Fan Xiumei: "Mom and dad, you guys should try it too."

Fan Xiumei twisted one popcorn and put it in her mouth, sighing: "I haven't eaten such delicious popcorn in years."

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to land reform and issues related to social status, her family's situation took a turn for the worse. She went from being well-dressed to having no way to beg on the streets.

But now things are getting better day by day and she is very satisfied.

Seeing that the whole family was enjoying the delicious food, Lin Xi suddenly said: "Mom and Dad, there happens to be no work on the team right now, how about we make popcorn and sell it?"

She just used almost a pound of corn kernels and produced a total of five enamel jars of popcorn.

"We put sugar and oil in it, and if it costs two cents for a teapot, someone will definitely buy it."

Lin Youfa: "This thing is not very hungry, so who would spend that wasted money?"

In his opinion, only things that can fill the stomach are good things.

Lin Xi: "Dad, you don't understand this. There are so many people selling snacks at train stations and in front of movie theaters, especially in front of movie theaters. Young couples who are dating see there are popcorn sellers. There are such a big pile.

It’s only two cents, can a gay man buy a bag for a lesbian?”

"My little sister, this is a good idea, I think it can work." Lin Jiancheng agreed.

"We only have so much food at home, you just watch and do the hard work." Lin Youfa didn't say either agreement or disagreement. After saying that, he went outside to smoke with his hands behind his back.

Lin Jiancheng: "I just made some money before the year, big brother and third brother, do you two do it?"

Lin Jianguo: "Can I do it with my legs and feet?" If he is chased by someone, he will definitely hurt everyone.

"How about this? Brother, you can fry popcorn at home, and the third brother and I will go to the train station and the cinema in the town. Let's try to make less first. If we can't sell it, forget it."

So the matter was settled like this.

Several people fried another five kilograms of corn, popping out more than half a bag of popcorn, and also wasted a kilogram of oil and a kilogram of sugar.

There is not much soybean oil left at home.

It happened that Lin Xi was going back to town, so the two brothers sent her to Liu's house, and then started preparing to sell popcorn.

Lin Jiancheng went to the train station, while Lin Jiandang went to wait at the entrance of the cinema.

It was the first time for the brothers to do this. They were quite nervous and even shouted with trepidation.

After I sold my first copy, I became more courageous.

The two originally agreed to meet at the north gate of the town in two hours, but in less than an hour, they sold all the popcorn they brought.

"I sold this for a total of two yuan."

"I have less money than you, one yuan and eighty dollars."

In such a short time, I sold it for 3.8 yuan. After deducting all costs, I made a full profit of 2 yuan.

This deal can definitely be done!

The two brothers discussed it and spent the money directly to buy sugar and soybean oil.

In the Liu family, Liu Qing shared gossip with Lin Xi while eating popcorn.

"Do you still have an impression of Zhang Mingyuan from Class 3?"

"At the beginning of the school year, because I took the lead in a group fight, which one was given a bad rap by the school? What's wrong?" Lin Xi has been busy studying. He can barely recognize the students in his own class, but he doesn't recognize any of the students in the other classes.

However, this Zhang Mingyuan is somewhat impressive. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a Chinese character face. This kind of appearance is very popular among female classmates in school.

It's just that his personality is not very good. He is surrounded by several bad friends. Apart from fighting and dating, he doesn't do anything related to study.

"I met him in People's Park yesterday and had a few words with him. He's actually a pretty good guy."
