Another night passed, and the boat rented by the He family, driven by a gasoline engine, appeared at the Caishi Wharf in Tianyang City.
The dock in the morning light regained its vitality from the darkness and silence, and more than a dozen ships have stopped loading and unloading beside the trestle bridge. The wharf is connected to the vegetable market, and there are a lot of grandpas and aunts who come to pick up the bargain in the morning.
The voices of inquiries and counter-offers came one after another, and the shouts were endless. It's just that there is something missing from this habitual scene. Many people eagerly looked at the door of the vegetable market management office and whispered.
The door was violently broken open, and the door lock was turned into trash. Like the signboard of the management office, it was being teased and pointed.
Because peppers are expensive on the market, Zhou Qingfeng grows a lot of peppers and sells them. I don't know if there is any special effect in Long Feitian. The green chili from He Jia is already a small brand, and many citizens come to purchase it, even if the price is so expensive.
It's just that some grandpas and aunts still miss the "hodgepodge" that the He family first shipped to the dozens of baskets. Many people remember that cucumbers, radishes, eggplants and so on are particularly watery, and they are delicious when they are fried.
When Old Man He went to pay the market tax, he inquired about it carefully. In fact, there is no need to ask at all. Many aunts who sell vegetables took the initiative to spread the news-Director Tong of the management office was beaten last night.
"Oh, it's a terrible hit. His head is swollen like a pig's head, and I can't see the original appearance at all."
"That guy must have offended someone. I don't know who beat him to a paralysis."
"It's paralyzed? It's a good fight. That bastard has only been the director for a year, and he has messed up the vegetable market."
There is a lot of discussion in the market. As long as you just walk around, someone will take the initiative to report. Old man He still had a plaster on his forehead, and he was very happy when he heard that Tong Erbao was beaten. Until he heard...
"My neighbor's second aunt's daughter-in-law and his brother work at the Municipal People's Hospital, saying that Tong Erbao's spine had been cut off, and he did not know the personnel in the hospital."
"Cut off? How cruel the one who beat him! His family must have trouble, do the police care about it?"
"The police have come long ago, and they also found the person who played mahjong with Tong Erbao last night. But those few people said that they didn't see clearly, and they definitely didn't want to cause trouble."
"It deserves it, this wicked person has his own wicked torment. Just those nasty things that Tong Erbao usually does, it is not wrong to be beaten to death."
He listened for a moment, wondering whether he should be happy or worried? From now on, Tong Erbao entered the hospital, and all his men ran away.
The lack of the management office of the Caishi Wharf made people even more happy. Even the tax collectors looked better, for fear of being retaliated against. It’s just that Zhou Qingfeng’s peanuts are still kept at home. I don’t know who can sell them—or retail
I don't know whether Zhou Qingfeng would be willing or not? After all, it was more than ten thousand catties, and if he scored three or seven points, he would not change for the old man himself. Think about it, Zhou Qingfeng gave five hundred yuan with a wave of his hand, and he felt that '19 points' would be acceptable.
After the vegetables were sold, Old Man He didn't rush home. He walked around the vegetable market a few times, and wanted to continue to ask if there is any way to sell peanuts-peanuts sold in retail are slightly more expensive than wholesale, but not much more expensive.
Peanuts are about twice as expensive as rice, and the retail price in this marina market is around 80 cents. Old man He felt that if a catty was cheaper, he might be bought by a lot of people.
A catty is cheaper by a dime, and a catty is ten dollars cheaper. The monthly income of employees in general units is now around thirty or forty. This concession price is not bad—the earliest supermarket in China is just a few cents of oil and salt concessions, which can let the common people step through the threshold.
More than 20 years later, the cheap supermarket'Costco' opened a store in Magic City, which also triggered a rush.
Just thinking about it, the old man suddenly noticed that there were people around him pointing at him—the old man's frightened hair was erected immediately. He also didn't know what was going on, only that it must be a bad thing.
It's just that Old Man He wants to leave, but the accounting aunt who wanted to buy peanuts the day before yesterday ran out. The latter is very gossip and very probing and asked: "Lao He, you found someone to fight Tong Erbao, right?"
Old man He was even more flustered, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I just sell some vegetables, how is it possible to sell this thing?"
"Look at you panicking, there must be ghosts." The accounting aunt laughed as if she had already seen through, and pointed to the plaster on the forehead of the old man. ."
He was almost speechless in a panic, his old face turned pale in the wind and sun. If he knew this, he shouldn't come to this vegetable market again-after all, the people in the vegetable market only know his surname, but don't know where he is from
The accounting aunt waved her hand and said: "Don't be afraid, Tong Erbao has no background and is just a bastard. If he meets someone more ruthless than him, he is a dish. I want to ask, can you sell peanuts? "
Want to buy peanuts
The old man's mood fluctuated like wind and waves, and it took a while to calm his breath. He was afraid of being tracked down and didn't want to give up the way of selling. In the end, he placed an order for half a ton of peanuts with a small machinery factory in the city.
The accounting aunt also wanted to go to the He Laohan Machinery Factory to make a confession, but He did not agree to the death. The two parties wrangled for a long time, and agreed that they would still trade in the market at the terminal and must cash in cash. For this reason, He Laohan would rather make a preferential price.
I have to sell vegetables and peanuts, and my capacity is insufficient. Old man He simply rented an extra boat and let his son drive. The first time the sales failed, and the second time I didn't dare to ship more, it was only ten packs, for fear that something might happen again.
However, the ship arrived at the Caishi Wharf, and the auntie who was buying vegetables ran over happily yesterday, "Oh, my factory can't spend so much money at the moment, can we barter for goods?"
Hearing that he couldn't get the money, Old Man He was so angry that he wanted to transport all the peanuts back. He asked back: "You can't pay 700 yuan for a state-owned factory to buy a thousand catties of peanuts?"
This time, the accounting aunt put on an embarrassing expression, she only kept saying good things, and said that her finished products were very good, and she had won the honor of'provincial excellence, ministry excellence'.
This is a good thing, but Old Man He still didn't agree. He said that he would go back to find someone to discuss with him, and then put the peanuts on the market for retail sale-perhaps without the management office, there were more people coming to buy vegetables, and he sold a pack this day.
What can’t be sold can only be temporarily stored in a rented house in Tianyang City. After returning to Mawang Village, Old Man He said to Zhou Qingfeng: “That machinery factory is also a lie, and I want to get some'car filter' for it. We settled the account. I don't know what that thing is for
In fact, our peanuts can still be sold if they are sold slowly, so don't worry at all. When the accountant comes again in the future, I won't bother to care about her. "
"Machine factory?" Zhou Qingfeng knew that since the 1990s, small factories in many small cities in China have caused a lot of problems because of backward technology, outdated products, and low quality. In the end, banks and society were dragged down, and the country almost collapsed.
It was at that time that foreigners began to predict when China would collapse? The situation at the time was indeed not optimistic. A large number of capable elites are either fleeing or eating out, and the people's trust in the government continues to decline.
Zhou Qingfeng couldn’t manage the big problem. He felt that he might be able to do something, so he asked Old Man He, “Isn’t the machinery factory disgusting with their cups and towels? Make double money."
Ah... He didn't expect Zhou Qingfeng to change his thoughts so quickly? He shook his head bitterly and said: "Our whole family is selling vegetables now, our two sons run the waterway, and a few daughter-in-laws live in the city to help out retail, and even the old lady in the family is busy cooking for the whole family. There is no one left. "
"No one won't hire people?" Zhou Qingfeng didn't stop thinking, and continued: "Mechanical factory, no matter how bad the level is, it can produce some simple machines. Maybe do some other business. But don't take steps. It's too big, it's easy to pull the egg, so let's wait and see."
