Li Xia handed the two boxes of jujube paste cakes to Du Yunfang

"Mom, this is the jujube paste cake I made. It’s sweet. Try it."

Du Yunfang took it with a smile.

"Still a filial son."

Opening the box, Du Yunfang smelled the aroma of wheat, which was mixed with the aroma of dates.

The flower-like jujube paste cakes looked very good and delicate.

Du Yunfang took out two pieces, first Give two milk dumplings to eat.

The two little heads shook.

"Grandma eats first~!"

"Grandma~! You eat~! Jujube crisps are delicious~!"

Seeing the two naughty dumplings so well-behaved and sensible, Du Yunfang was filled with joy.

She took a bite of the jujube paste cake first. It was crispy, sweet and glutinous. Everything her son made was very delicious!

After Du Yunfang ate a piece, he quickly took a piece to each of the two milk dumplings.

When it comes to food, the two little guys have always accepted everyone who comes. They happily took the jujube paste cake from their grandma and took a bite. It was so crispy that it fell into pieces, and it was super delicious.

Ding Qiuxia, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard that Li Xia and his wife were coming. She immediately stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked out.

"Xiaoxia and her siblings are here?!"Ding Qiuxia looked very enthusiastic.

The two milk dumplings were eating jujube paste cakes with relish. When they saw Ding Qiuxia, they slurred their words.

"oops! Duoduo, Nuan Nuan, stop talking while eating, the dregs will fall off."

Ding Qiuxia looked at the jujube paste cakes in the hands of the two milk dumplings, and her eyes lit up.

"Duoduo, Nuannuan, what are you eating?"

Ding Qiuxia smelled the fragrance and swallowed secretly.

Du Yunfang pointed to the box on the table and said:

"The jujube paste cake made by Xiaoxia tastes very good. You should try it."

Ding Qiuxia was not polite. She reached out and took a piece and started eating it.

"Wow~! It's really delicious~!"

Du Yunfang said with a proud look on her face:"That's right! When has the food made by my son not tasted good?"

Ding Qiuxia couldn't refute this.

Indeed, whether it's the steamed buns or the egg fried rice made by Li Xia, they are both extremely delicious and cannot be faulted.

How else could his secret sauce-based pork make the restaurant’s business so good!!

Li Yan came out of the kitchen with the sauced meat. When he saw Li Xia, a smile appeared on his face.

"coming? Sit down quickly and eat the sauced meat"

"Wait, I'm going to fry two more side dishes."

Li Xia and others sat down, and they were guests today.

They were really hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and ate the soy sauce meat.

By the time they were full and full, it was already half past seven.

All the guests in the restaurant were already there. They were almost gone.

Li Xia and others wanted to help clean up the restaurant so that the restaurant could close earlier.

But Du Yunfang kicked them out.

"It's enough for us to clean up. You guys should go home quickly. The business of the bun shop is so good. You must be busy all day long. I still don't understand! Go back and rest early!"

A few people just got on the donkey cart and went back.

After sending Lin Xiaomei to the gate of the community, the donkey cart turned back and walked towards Shangrong Village.

…… the next day.

The buns were sold out in the morning.

The bun shop was temporarily closed at noon, and Chu Mengxi made some adjustments to rest.

Li Xia went out to buy ingredients and went to the black market to look for industrial coupons and washing machine tickets.

In the 1980s when supplies were scarce, buying a washing machine required a voucher.

For bulk commodities such as washing machines, televisions, bicycles, and grain and oil, you need a voucher to purchase them.

All other commodities are basically open for supply.

In an urban dual-income family, the combined monthly salary of the couple is between 80 and 100 yuan.

These days, buying a washing machine basically costs a person about 3 to 8 months' salary, and you also need to provide industrial vouchers.

Industrial coupons are issued to every household. Industrial coupons must be used to purchase items such as sewing machines, televisions, bicycles, etc.

Industrial coupons are tight.

Li Xia and Chu Mengxi were both employees before, with a salary of more than 20 yuan, and could receive an industrial coupon.

I had never thought of buying household appliances such as washing machines before because I simply couldn’t afford them.

Since industrial coupons were in high demand, they were secretly sold for money.

Now that his family doesn't have any industrial coupons, Li Xia can only go shopping on the black market.

There are even no tickets for washing machines, so we need to find a way.

Li Xia drove the donkey cart to the antique street in Linshui County.

They say they are antiques, but in fact the real old items were sold out more than ten years ago.

The entire antique market is basically full of fakes and high imitations, with very few genuine items. (If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This is also a black market.

A mixture of dragons and snakes, with deep routines, specializing in killing strangers.

Li Xia walked around and met a familiar face, Chen Dabao, a friend who used to hang out together.

After Li Xia corrected his evil ways, he rarely contacted his previous friends.

It doesn't matter to them without Li Xia, there will be new friends to join them.

Now that Chen Dabao has a partner, he no longer idles around and starts smoking cigarettes.

In a hidden corner of the antique street, a stall was set up, with a dazzling array of cigarettes placed in glass boxes.

Golden Leaf, Bei'an Bridge, Yellow River, Advance, Harvest, Qunying, Golden Bell, Hongta Mountain, Yingchun...

The price ranges from a few cents to a few cents, and even luxury cigarettes cost more than a pack.

We also sell whole cartons of cigarettes, but only to regular customers, which is safer and safer.

When Chen Dabao saw Li Xia, he was surprised and happy, and punched Li Xia hard on the shoulder.

"Li Xia, it’s your boy! Long time no see!"

"Yo ho! Once your hair is cut, you look energetic!"

Chen Dabao looked at Li Xia carefully. Li Xia is now well-dressed and looks much more pleasing to the eye than the decadent look before.

Chen Dabao has not changed much, he still has the same aggressive personality.

"Haha, you kid doesn’t fool around anymore, that’s good."

Li Xia took out a dollar and bought two packs of Hongtashan.

"Hi! What are you doing? Just take two packs. Why do you pay me?"

In the past, Li Xia and Chen Dabao had the closest relationship, and their friendship is still there.

"Business is business, you are not the one to talk to. If you save money to get married, don't be so polite to me."

Li Xia stuffed the money into Chen Dabao's pocket.

"have to! I'm not polite to you. You look like you're doing well!"Chen Dabao was chewing betel nut in his mouth and handed one to Li Xia.

"I will not eat."Li Xia waved his hand,"Just fool around and earn some hard money. I still have a wife and children to support at home."

"You boy are very good at pulling back from a cliff! If I had such a beautiful wife, I would definitely take care of the family and not fool around outside! I really don’t know what you thought before!"

Chen Dabao sighed.

Li Xia opened a pack of Hongtashan, took out two sticks, threw one to Chen Dabao, and then took one himself.

"I was shot in the head before!"

Li Xia touched his pocket, but there was no match.

Chen Dabao took out a lighter, an old-fashioned lighter, made by Sunflower brand.

He lit it for Li Xia first, and then lit it himself.

The two of them puffed away some smoke and chatted for a while. Afterwards, Li Xia got down to business.

"Industrial coupons? Let me ask for you. You should be able to get it, but it will cost you some money.

Li Xia nodded:"I know it costs money, but it can't be given for free."

Chen Dabao glanced at Li Xia and asked,"Why do you want industrial coupons?""

"Buy a washing machine for your wife."Li Xia said calmly

"Damn it! Buy a washing machine?!"

"A washing machine costs hundreds of dollars!!"

Chen Dabao was surprised!
