Nail bell bell~~~

The mountain trail in Liandong Village, Xingtang Commune.

When the bell rang, the villagers busy in the fields raised their heads and looked over.

These days, bicycles are definitely a rarity in mountain villages, just like supercars in later generations.

There are only two reasons. One is that the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and in many cases it is not people riding bicycles, but bicycles riding people. The other is that bicycles are too expensive and require tickets, making them almost unavailable to rural people.

So when you hear the car bell ringing, it’s likely that the boss is coming.

Leaders, they are all high-ranking figures.

But after watching for a long time, the villagers discovered that the person riding the bicycle today was not a big leader in a Chinese tunic suit, but a young man wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

"Hey, isn't this Chen Vocational School in Xiaze Village?"

"Yes, that's him. Alas, I heard that his family has moved to the city to enjoy happiness."

"Master, I have long said that I want my son to study, but you just don't listen. Now you know the importance of knowledge, right?"

The villagers talked a lot when they saw Chen Qi. Most of them were envious. After studying in a technical secondary school, he could ride a bicycle and live in the city with his whole family. Knowledge can really change people's destiny.

Chen Qi didn't even know that he had become the "object of ambition" of the people in the mountains.

If I knew it, I would be even happier. Life in the mountains is really hard, and it can be foreseen that it will continue to be hard for decades. Children in the mountains have no way out. If they want to get out of the mountains, the only way is to study.

But today he is not here to show off, but to see Zhang Agen, the village chief of Liandong Village.

Zhang Agen is busy in the tea garden. The New Year is over, and Tomb-Sweeping Day will soon come. The best Yuezhong Longjing must be picked before Qingming. It is called "pre-rain tea", and the government's purchase price is also expensive.

The household contract responsibility system has been implemented in rural areas, and village cadres have much less power. However, this tea garden is collectively owned, and Zhang Agen, as the village chief, has the final say.

"Uncle Agen, are you busy?"

Zhang Agen looked back and his eyes lit up: "Chen Qi, why do you have time to come to our Liandong Village today?"

"Hi, I have something to ask you for help."

"Let's go home and tell you that you guys should take the time to spread the fertilizer evenly. This year our village collective can rely entirely on these tea trees."

The Zhang family was not far away. After Chen Qi entered the house, he put the two large front doors, two bottles of canned yellow peaches, some dried lychee buns and dried longan buns on the table.

"Uncle Agen, I don't have time to pay you a New Year's greeting during the Chinese New Year, so now I'm going to give you a New Year's greeting."

Zhang Agen laughed so hard that he couldn’t even see his eyes:

"Chen Qi, you are so polite. Just come and give me such a heavy gift. This is a big front door. Oh dear, I heard that only county-level cadres can smoke. Good smoke, good smoke."

Chen Qi also laughed: "That's right, I got this ticket from the teacher. Fortunately, he doesn't smoke."

The two chatted for a long time before Zhang Agen asked: "Are you coming here this time?"

Chen Qi took a sip of tea on the table and said quickly:

"The main thing is to ask you to help find some masons. I want to renovate the house I rent in the city. I want to tear down the wall along the street and open three stores. In addition, I also need to build some furniture for the store. I am not in the city.

I have no way out here, so I just want you to help me."

Zhang Ah had no idea at all, but now that he heard that it was such a trivial matter, he was so excited:

"It's just a small thing. It happens that there is no farm work during this period. I will find you some of the best masons and carpenters in the village. It's simple. If you don't have any connections, I will wrap up all the wood and bricks and deliver them to you when the time comes.

,By the way, where do you live?"

Chen Qi was happy when he heard this:

"It's better this way. My family lives at No. 77 Lu Xun Road, opposite Lu Shuren's former residence. By the way, the Chunbo River is right in front of my house, and motor boats can drive directly there. I pay the workers 2 yuan a day for one day's work.

One day, as for how much the building materials will cost, Uncle Agen, you can tell me then."

Zhang Agen waved his hand and said grandly:

"You are demolishing a wall. You won't need many bricks. The old bricks you removed can still be used. It's mainly wood. We have a lot of this in the mountains and it's not worth much. I have some old materials at home. I'll provide them to you first.

."

The door panels of the shops in Yuezhong are all made of wooden boards. In the morning, the clerk unloaded them piece by piece, and then put them back piece by piece after the store closed in the evening.

In addition, the tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and shelves used in the store need to be made of wood, so the amount of wood is relatively large.

The project is not big and can be completed in a few days.

The salary of 2 yuan a day, with food and accommodation at the owner's house, is already very high. These days, the average wage for workers is less than 2 yuan a day. It turns out that the silly elder sister only earns 50 cents to carry bricks for a day.

At this time, Chen Qi looked at no one outside and said softly:

"Uncle Agen, I also want to buy some pheasant, wild duck and rabbit meat that we mountain people can't eat all the time. As long as it is cured meat, I want it, and the price is easy to talk about."

Zhang Agen was such a smart person. He immediately guessed the intention and asked with some worry:

"Chen Qi, do you want to sell it? This would be a mistake, right? After all, your status is different."

"It's okay, Uncle Agen. My teacher has many connections in the city. Most people don't dare to embarrass us. Besides, our four siblings all live in the city and our expenses are high. It's really hard for me to do it alone."<

/p>

Of course Chen Qi would not say that business is already allowed in the city. If that doesn't work, there is still a black market in Fushan where you can sell goods.

It’s not like there aren’t smart people. If business can be done in the city and the people in the mountains buy it and sell it, then there will be nothing wrong with him.

As for the issue of expenses, there is no harm in selling it appropriately to give others a sense of superiority.

Sure enough, Zhang Agen nodded as soon as he heard this:

"Since you have connections, I'll go to the village and shout. Every household will have a lot of wax goods this winter. If you can make money by selling them, you've done a great thing."

Liandong Village is also deep in the mountains. Nowadays, there are many kinds of game in the mountains. People in the mountains have the habit of hunting. However, if there is not enough game to eat, they will be salted and dried.

Or if you’re more particular, you can buy soy sauce and make chicken, duck, and rabbit sauce to make it taste even better.

It’s not valuable in the mountains, and people in the city can’t eat it.

Now Chen Qi is ready to do this "speculation and business". Firstly, he can help the silly lady pass the time, and secondly, he can also make a fortune.

Living in the city, you have to buy everything. The money, rice, oil, salt, sauce, tea and vinegar all add up, and the expenses are indeed not small.

Chen Qi still has 3,000 yuan in his pocket. Although it is a huge sum of money, if it is really spent, it will be gone in the blink of an eye.
