Chapter 77: 10/96 skylight

10/96 skylight

The jams in beautiful crystal jars that were newly launched at the beginning of the month are still very popular, and the flavored jams with nuts are also highly praised. Some people try to add the jam as a condiment to stir-fry, but the taste is not bad. , It is said that it has the magical effect of making the meat taste more tender, which is also a surprise.

Only six of the ten glass jars of nuts are sold, and the rest are reserved for my parents to eat as snacks. They also like these chubby and refreshing nuts. When watching TV, they can pinch one or two and put them in their mouths. The crispy nuts are very satisfying.

Dried Huangliuzi is not tepid, its sweet and sour taste is really good, but it is too easy for people to eat too much and make their teeth sour, so people probably don’t want to eat them continuously for a while after they have tasted it. There are many interesting things. Customers buy dried lilac fruit for its beautiful and delicate "glass bottle", because the pure and clear bottle is so beautiful, many children in many families regard the beautiful bottle as a bottle for their own drinking, and some children even Bringing bottles to school has become a little fad.

The simple crystal bottle is not only good in appearance, but also has a much higher hardness than ordinary glass after I have specially strengthened it. Children are generally extravagant, but occasionally bumping or even falling on the ground will not break the glass bottle. To a certain extent It is really suitable for children to carry.

The disadvantage is not without, that is, the bottle cap of the crystal bottle is also pure crystal, which lacks airtightness and often leaks. The ingenious parents have to tear off the rubber sheet from the lid of other cans and insert it into the crystal bottle cap to prevent it. It leaked, and it really transformed the crystal bottle into a beautiful and practical drinking bottle.

Neighbors must not know that my house sells all crystal jars. At most, they only praise my glass jars for being durable, translucent and beautiful.

Since I once again sold local specialties with great fanfare, the small handicrafts that were originally "off the shelf" by my father have gradually returned to the shelves. Now I have not only transformed porcelain dolls and ornaments, but also many more. Lots of small toys and small jewelry made of stones, crystals and precious stones.

It's a risky thing to sell gemstones in a big way, but my parents aren't as sensitive as they used to be.

Small business.

As long as we sell cheap enough, no one will really believe that what they are buying is crystal, agate, tourmaline and jade, we are charging the price of "stained glass", so they are buying "stained glass", no What trouble will there be.

When the ten-dollar "glass jewelry" was put on the shelves again, the girls were overjoyed, and even the aunts and aunts of the neighbors came to my small shop to choose their favorite accessories.

In our place, only the old lady will put the hairpin in a bun. Usually it is made of wood or copper. Occasionally, some wealthy people use silver and jade. The old lady's canteen imitates jade "glass hairpin" for ten yuan a piece. , the small stones with vermilion and green flowers at the end are spelled into the word "Fu" or "Shou", which looks very festive.

The commissary also has "thimbles" that old ladies and aunts like to use, that is, the "rings" worn on the fingers when doing needlework. There are many small holes on the ring surface, which are specially used to push the back of the needle into the cloth. Prevent the back of the needle from hurting the finger.

The thimbles of imitation jade and imitation agate have been specially strengthened, and the hands are shiny and smooth. The small pits are squeezed into patterns and arranged on the side of the ring. They look exquisite and extravagant, and they are particularly convenient and practical when doing needlework. It is beautiful, and is loved by old ladies.

There are also a lot of small pendants for the keychain, whether it is the gemstone plaques of "Fu", "Shou" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" that adults will like, the images of small animals that children like, or the hollow text pendants that our age likes. I can see it on the shelves of my grocery store.

The best-selling among junior and senior high school customers is my family's "Good Luck Today" hollow text pendant. The four thick three-dimensional characters are made of reinforced crystal material, and they have been added to their transparent fonts by dip-dyeing and infiltration. The light and light background color and pattern look a bit like plastic products at first glance, but the cool and heavy texture in the hand makes people unable to bear the corners of their mouths. It will hurt clothes, crystal clear and individual, so it is very popular.

Secondly, the sales of paired couple pendants are also quite good. A pair of "glass" pendants for five yuan can be assembled into a whole, and each pair has a different pattern, whether it is tied to a keychain or hung around the neck. It is quite suitable, because each pair is unique, wearing it is not afraid of crashing with others, so it is a good gift, and even the sales of greeting cards with my family have increased.

There are also many rare varieties of small ornaments for two dollars a piece. In addition to the ceramic styles, I will occasionally put some small ornaments in citrine, ruby, emerald and agate versions. The price is the same. These "glass products" are because of the color. On the contrary, it is more popular than ceramic trinkets, but some people like cats and dogs with ruby ​​texture or small trees made of a whole piece of jade, and buy them home with other trinkets.

"Good quality and low price" refers to the local specialties and handicrafts in my commissary. At the same price, you can only buy crappy and low-quality mass-produced stuff elsewhere.

The sophistication of the commissary's ornaments has led to a high level of eyesight of many customers. They don't look down on the cheap and rough little things in the market outside, but they highly respect the things in my commissary.

This month, there are a little more beets than last month, and they were sold out in seconds. The dishes I recommended "Sweet Water Lettuce with Shredded Cold Noodles" and "Pork Vermicelli with Sweet Water Lettuce" have been well received by the neighbors. Everyone said that the sweetwater lettuce is too little. If the energy is bigger and cheaper, everyone is willing to buy as much as possible.

Compared with cabbage and small rapeseed, water lettuce is indeed not cheap. Two yuan can buy four big bundles of rapeseed, enough to eat for a week, but two yuan of water lettuce is only slightly bigger than a fist, enough to eat a meal.

I don't dare to make random promises to them, but I also have a plan in my heart. The root water lettuce in the village is still being cultivated. If the output of water lettuce comes up next year, the price of water lettuce can be reduced, and the size can be larger. At that time, no one will think that it is expensive to sell two pieces of water lettuce for four.

At the beginning of the month, after the souvenirs were sold out, my parents celebrated my birthday at the hotel in the county seat. I only invited Liang Jiangbo and Tian Xin. The four of them sang a birthday song for me, let me blow out candles and make a wish. It was the second time I celebrated my birthday like this, and I was so moved that I almost cried when I blew out the candles.

Liang Jiangbo gave me a book this time. He knew that I had the habit of writing a diary. He asked me to use this book to write a diary. After this book was finished, he would send me the next one.

When I received the diary, I thought of Zhang Shalai. She was my girlfriend in the second year of junior high school. She broke up with me in the winter of my second year of junior high school. The gift of breaking up gave me the ability to travel between two worlds. until now.

I told Liang Jiangbo a little bit about Zhang Sha a long time ago. I said that someone I liked gave me a diary before, and I wrote a lot about the two of us.

I still keep that diary to this day. It was sealed in the crystal, and the crystal was placed in the box. When I was alone, I occasionally thought of it, and then I rubbed it in my hand.

From the second year of junior high school to the third year of high school, the two worlds have been combined for almost eight years. I can't remember Zhang Sha's appearance very well. I only remember that she has a pair of braids and likes to read books. When she laughs, she stretches out shyly. Fingers tucked into the hair on his cheeks, very cute.

I held my delicate notebook and thanked Liang Jiangbo. He was mysterious and wanted to say something to me, but he was too embarrassed to say it because the people next to him heard it.

Tian Xin little angel gave me his complete set of math notes and ribbons from the first year to the third year. He knew that I was weak in mathematics, and asked me to take a good look at the knowledge points he marked for me.

I am flattered. Tian Xin is very serious about taking notes. Usually, other people in the class want to borrow his notes, but he never lends them to others. Only when I have a good relationship with Liang Jiangbo and he can study together, I occasionally look over them. He now takes notes. It was given to me, and there were special points for me in it, which made me so moved that I hugged him and was reluctant to let go.

I haven't had such violent mood swings in a long time. Before, I either hated birthdays or didn't feel much about birthdays, but this time I was really touched.

After celebrating my birthday, my parents finally bought a bus ticket full of anticipation to travel, and let my mother put the cash in her pocket and store it close to the body, and listened to Liang Jiangbo's parents' suggestion to sign up for a regular tour group to avoid dog blood accidents.

Seeing my parents go out alone with a big schoolbag, I felt a little reluctant to let them go. Not only was I reluctant, but I was also uneasy. They were obviously grown ups. I couldn't help laughing and laughing when I told them so many times, but in the end they comforted me.

Before my mother left, she wrote me a note about when to water the flowers at home, how hot the ready-made food is, and where all the tools and medicines are. I will take care of myself. Fortunately, my house has a phone now. They can call back to report safety when they go out, otherwise they will not worry about going out.

My tablemate and brother Tian Xin came to my house beaming after school in the afternoon, carrying a small burden. In the past, every time they came to my house, my parents were there, and they were embarrassed to make fun of adults. When we entered my house, the three of us took off our shoes and fell onto the sofa without any image.

I took out the drinks from the refrigerator, put a bunch of snacks on the coffee table, and after a short rest, I turned on the TV to play the CD, and the music was on to the max, and the three of them screamed and twisted in the living room.

Of the three of us, only Liang Jiangbo learned some dance steps from his mother, and Tian Xin and I were just rambling, but no adults were at home, we could do whatever we wanted, like three crazy puppies, learning from young men and women on TV Bouncing around and bouncing around in the music had a lot of fun.

Tired of jumping, I played table tennis on my dining table for a while. Although my dining table is small, we can barely play. The losers drink the mung bean soup that my mother left for us. Begging for mercy, I ran to the bathroom every few minutes when I was resting. Liang Jiangbo and I laughed.

After taking a break and eating some small cakes, I did my homework on the large table in the restaurant. The three of us were not slow, and we could communicate while writing. When we came across interesting and valuable exercises, we pulled out other test booklets to find some similar questions. Writing and writing together is both adjustment and consolidation, which is very efficient.

Before 8 o'clock, I finished my homework. The three of us took a note left by my mother and followed the instructions to heat the green onion pancake and stew she made in the oven, and had a fragrant dinner.

"Your mother really spoils you!" Tian Xinke was envious. He said that if her mother also left him a cut fruit plate when she went out, he would also be willing to be her mother's 120-pound sweet baby.

I laughed and asked him to go home and look for his mother to act like a spoiled child, and there will be a fruit plate to eat in the future.

My family couldn’t even buy fruit before, let alone cut them into a mixed fruit plate. This is a craft my mother learned from the big sister who taught her how to use the tools at home. I make the fruit plate twice a day. Mom got used to it. She no longer always said that her husband and son had hands and feet, so why couldn't he wash the fruit and eat it himself.
