"You think about protecting him all day long, how old is he to want to do ginger's business, is that so easy to do? Jiang Yucai sat on a bench at the door unconvinced, turned his back to Hu Jianjun and said.

"I shield him all day long? Usually when I want to beat him, who protects me from moving, but now I cover him. I also know that Jiang's business is not good, but if he wants to do it, what can he do? Is he just staring? That guy, let me tell you, if you kill him, he won't give you the money. Hu Jianjun, who was behind him, lit the leaf cigarette again and took two puffs.

"Hmph, do you really believe that he gave it to someone else? Who around here will give him a doll and put a thousand dollars? I don't believe he can keep it. ”

"Then even if you pay back his money and use it, what about after that? All his money is not enough to pay it back, what should I do after that? I didn't let the doll live a good life, this was originally our problem, Xiao Chen will be ten years old next month, and a ten-year-old doll will earn money to support the family, and there is no second family around. He doesn't owe us, and he doesn't owe you money, figure it out. You're always worried that he's losing, so what if he doesn't lose, but he does? Why don't you think about it. Hu Jianjun said.

"If you want the doll to earn money to support the family, this only shows that you are a big man who has no ability, I am a mother-in-law's family, is it my responsibility to support the family? Hmph, I'm just afraid that he will lose now, if he can make it, of course it's good, but who dares to guarantee that he will definitely earn?" Jiang Yucai stood up, pointed at Hu Jianjun and said noisily.

"Yes, Lao Tzu has no ability, so what are you still doing here? You have the ability, if you have the ability, don't take Xiao Chen's money, Lao Tzu is too lazy to tell you, what to do, you can do it yourself." Hu Jianjun shot back.

"He is my son, and I take his money, rightly so. ”

"It's justified, your son is only ten years old, and it's natural for you to take his money, so if you help him, is it justified?

The two of them quarreled like this, for more than half an hour, and the two of them also had no strength to quarrel, so they simply sat on the side with their own care.

More than two hours ago, Hu Mingchen estimated that the two elders were almost there, and then went home with Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao Shanshan.

"Aren't you leaving, why are you coming back?" Seeing Hu Mingchen showing his head at the entrance of the courtyard, Jiang Yucai glared at him and said angrily.

"Hehe, this is my house, you and my dad are here, where can I go? Am I the kind of son who leaves his mother alone? No. I still have to earn money to serve you two elders. Hu Mingchen said with a shy face.

Hu Mingchen's words hit the softest part of Jiang Yucai's heart.

No matter how much anger and dissatisfaction there is, Hu Mingchen's words full of conscience and filial piety can make them disappear.

"Hey, you want to earn money to serve us at a young age, and we're not old yet. Jiang Yucai was so amused by Hu Mingchen that she couldn't help laughing.

"Of course my mother is not old, she is still young, she is as beautiful as a flower, hahaha, sister, you go and cook, after eating, let's discuss what to do." Seeing Jiang Yucai laughing, Hu Mingchen thought that the past dispute had disappeared.

Regarding Hu Mingchen's arbitrariness, Jiang Yucai did not gnaw, so he regarded it as a tacit acquiescence.

After arguing with Hu Jianjun and sitting at the door, Jiang Yucai has also been thinking about the words of Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianjun.

Jiang Yucai has no culture, and she also has her own stubborn side in character, but this does not mean that she has no analytical ability.

When a person is angry, he can lose his mind, but when he calms down after being angry, most people will still reflect or empathize.

To a certain extent, Jiang Yucai recognized what Hu Mingchen said.

Even if Hu Mingchen takes out all the money, how long will it last for this price, let alone use it, even if it is not enough to repay the debt. In that case, why not let him give it a try?

Anyway, Hu Mingchen has already given more than 1,000 to his family, and if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if he loses it, it won't be good, at least Hu Mingchen still earns it overall, and when he started his family, it was only 40 yuan.

The thirty-six yuan that Hu Mingchen blackmailed to stop the Luo family from worshiping the god tree, Jiang Yucai did not count it, after all, the money was not counted from the family.

Of course, Jiang Yucai is still worried, and he is still afraid that Hu Mingchen will lose money if he doesn't grasp it well.

It's really poor in the family now, and any small twist and turn will make the family fall to the bottom and it will be difficult to get up.

Therefore, if he asks him to find someone else, others will not do their best to help him, it is better to help him with his own family, or to gamble together. At a critical time, you can still pull him or remind him, but it really doesn't work, and then you will seize the lead.

In the final analysis, although Hu Mingchen made so much money selling cards, it was still difficult for him to make his family trust his ability and judgment, all because he was too young.

Selling cards to make money is to a certain extent attributed to the element of luck. But in the ginger business, you can't look at luck anymore.

After eating the simple meal made by Hu Yandie, the family sat together again.

This time it's not about arguing about whether to do it or not, it's about arranging how to do it.

"Xiao Chen, since you want to buy Jiang, how much do you plan to charge and at what price?" Hu Jianjun asked Hu Mingchen as he lit his pipe.

"Dad, how was the price of ginger on our side last year?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"Last year...... Last year, the price was not good, and our ginger was only sold for nine cents a catty, like your second sister-in-law's Wenshan Village, because the ginger was a little bigger, and it was only sold for seven cents. Hu Jianjun recalled.

"The price is so low!" Hu Mingchen said in surprise.

This price is really a bit unexpected by Hu Mingchen, he has the impression that the price of ginger in Duge Township should be about one and a half cents.

"What do you think, that's why we only opposed you this afternoon? Last year, those who collected ginger were pulled outside, and it was only at this price, so last year when I made ginger, I didn't hear who made money, and the one who could keep his capital was Amitabha. We sold early, and then we sold late, and we sold out of five. Jiang Yucai said.

"The price of this ginger fluctuates greatly, sometimes it will be one or two times different from year to year, so ordinary people can't do this business at all, and they will lose money if they are not careful. Hu Jianjun added.

"It's risky, but once you seize the opportunity, the profit is also big. Dad, how much did dried ginger sell last year?" Hu Mingchen continued.

"Last year's biggest loss was to make dry ginger, at the beginning can still sell a piece, but then on the anise, hexagon, five corners have been down, I heard that the street Wang family to the end, three cents sold no one wanted, plus the cost of inviting someone to wash ginger, baking and transportation, do dry ginger everyone loses. I don't know how it was done outside, last year's dried ginger just couldn't be sold at a price. What do you want to do with ginger and roast it as dried ginger to sell?"

"Yes, that's what I thought, last year's price was too low, some people don't estimate that they won't plant it, so this year's price, I guess it will definitely rise a lot, so this year's ginger can definitely make money." I see that the ginger is about to go on the market, Dad, you and my mother think about it, and when the time comes, help me go to various villages to collect ginger, you may not be able to carry it, then let them send it to our house, send it over, you can add a penny per catty. Hu Mingchen said.

"If you can't carry it, why can't you carry it? Your father and I have no problem carrying dozens of pounds alone. One pound plus one point, one hundred pounds is one dollar, will you settle the account?" Regarding Hu Mingchen's request for a price increase, Jiang Yucai has an opinion.

"Mom, I'm afraid that you will be tired, and I'm even more afraid that you won't be able to carry so much by then. ”

"How much are you going to receive?" Hearing Hu Mingchen say that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to carry so much, Hu Jianjun was curious.

"Collect as much as you want. If it were according to last year's price, how could you have 20,000 or 30,000 catties, you think about it, so much, how can you carry it? If you carry it from Wenshan Village and from Jiangjiazhai, do you think you can run a few times a day? So, as long as people are willing to carry it, I don't mind giving more money. Hello, hello, everyone. ”

"That's all, twenty or thirty thousand catties. The amount that Hu Mingchen said startled Jiang Yucai.

This is not to say that there is not so much money around, almost every household in Duge Township will plant some ginger, not to mention twenty or thirty thousand catties, and the annual output is more than ten or two hundred thousand catties and ten thousand catties. The key is that Jiang Yucai thought that Hu Mingchen was making a small fuss, but he didn't expect him to be a big family this time.

"Not much, if I have enough money, then I will collect as much as I want, the key is that my capital is not enough. Dad, don't you know how to build a baking oven? You have to build two ovens in our yard, and we'll bake them while we collect them. Thinking of his small capital, Hu Mingchen was helpless.

"It's not difficult to build a baking oven, but two baking ovens will burn a lot of coal a day, and I haven't dug coal yet, so you can't carry much at a time. You have to roast so much ginger, coal is a big problem. Hu Jianjun said worriedly.

"Dad, then ask someone to dig it and ask someone to carry it. And you can do it right now, otherwise if you don't hurry, it will be too late. How much does it cost to dig out of the coal kiln and carry it to our house?"

"Two dollars is almost required, coal does not cost money, and the difficulty of digging is some, but it is not so big, the key is that it is difficult to carry it back. Hu Jianjun said with feeling.

The reason why I say it is based on feeling is because there is generally no situation around this area where someone is asked to carry coal. Whichever family burns coal is carried by themselves, a family can't burn much, and a family can run a few more times It's almost the same. Everyone doesn't have much money, so how can they spend money to hire people.

The people who live on the street will spend money to buy coal, after all, the township government is on the street, and the government does not allow small coal kilns to be dug casually, and it is too conspicuous to carry coal to the street, and if you don't do it, you will be fined. Therefore, people on the street will spend some money to find someone to buy it from regular channels, anyway, a cart of coal is pulled to the house, two or three thousand catties, only a few dozen yuan, two cents or so a catty.
