Chapter 16: Moisturizing things silently
Time gradually passed, the calendar on the wall had flipped to the middle of October, and it had been a month and a half since Li Feng crossed over.
I am afraid that the calendar is the only brand new thing in this poor family, and the first thing Grandpa Li Kui does when he gets up every day is to tear one up.
Cong's initial confusion and sadness to his current adaptation are proactive, and Li Feng has only spent a month and a half.
Every day, there is a kind of excitement of starting over again in Li Feng's whole heart, going up the mountain and down the sleeve, going down the river to make traps, playing pigweed to do housework, and even selling things with deception, he is quietly moisturizing things and silently changing this poor family.
There is meat in the pot, sugar in the pocket, there are children in the school to pit it, and there are small hair pits in the village.
The small life is much stronger than when I was a child in my previous life.
Li Feng is not very demanding, and the next step is to get a little money, not to mention letting the family have rice and white noodles every day, and at least ten days a month can eat rice and white noodles.
And, of course, rubber shoes that don't have patches and no holes.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, Li Feng has no ability to change the few dilapidated houses at home now, but he thinks that changing food and clothing is not a problem, and according to the current price, he can earn thirty or forty yuan a month to solve the problem.
The rabbit doll is estimated to sell three or four a month, and there are fish in the river, more or less harvested every day, and the family is tired of eating dried fish and hanging.
There are not many restaurants in the town, but there are still four or five, and the fish in the river is much better than the fish raised in the pond, and this fish should be able to be sold.
Li Feng was full of confidence, and one Sunday morning, after breakfast, he carried four rabbit dolls and three or four catties of fish on his back, and set off to the town again.
Without oxygen, the river fish would not live long offshore, and Li Feng asked Yang Yushan in advance to help kill it and marinate it with salt.
The refrigerator is still a legendary thing, and it is estimated that there is still a lot of ice in the town, there is no ice, unless it is winter, in order to keep it fresh, the fish is specially wrapped in large-leaf fresh grass by the river, and then put it in a plastic bag.
Because of the previous time he got 17 yuan from Li Feng, Yang Yushan and Li Shan surprisingly did not object, nor did he have much hope, the last time Li Feng sold it was just shit luck in their hearts, they just said that they would go early and return early.
Li Feng didn't say anything, his parents and grandmothers were too honest and honest, and they kept their duties as farmers, and they wanted to grow gold in those few acres of land.
They have gone through turbulent times, they have suffered a lot, they have been hungry, and the life they are living now is simply too happy for them.
So they don't have an idea! The crops in the field are all their hopes.
My parents and grandmothers have never read a book, and the family is illiterate, and I heard that when the family received rations when they were still in the production team, none of the family could write their own names, and they all pressed their fingerprints.
So, even if they have an idea, they don't know how to do it!
Therefore, Li Feng wants to change some of their ideas, and setting up a stall in the town is also one of the means to stimulate them in disguise, especially to stimulate his mother Yang Yushan.
Mother Yang Yushan has a strong temperament, and seeing that seven-year-old Li Feng can earn money, she must have an idea in her heart.
The grandparents are old, as for the father Li Shan, he is too honest, and his mind is those few acres of land, and the farmers' thoughts are deep in the bone marrow, and it is useless to stimulate them.
"Come back and buy me something delicious!"
"Okay! Ah, brother will come back and bring you rice candy!"
In Li Mei's hopeful gaze, Li Feng set off, and the big yellow dog at home had been following him to see him off, worried that he would be stewed dog meat hot pot by some young people in the town, and he kicked him back halfway.
There is no watch, Li Feng can only look at the estimated time of the sun, and it will be about ten o'clock in the morning when he arrives in town!
The familiar man came to the door of the town hall again, spread out the plastic sheeting, put the four rabbit dolls on it, and put the bag of fish next to it.
There is a garbage pit not far from the gate, Li Feng picked up a waste cardboard in it, and then found a small piece of black carbon to write on the door, "Rabbit doll, five yuan a, there are ancestral Chinese herbs in it, which has the effect of calming the nerves and awakening the mind, and can be used as decorations or health care products."
Li Feng is a traverser and understands that advertising is very important, as for what ancestral Chinese herbal medicine is purely a bluffing thing, it is an exaggeration to see advertisements!
I don't know if it's the role of advertising or luck, the four rabbit dolls were sold in more than an hour, and they were all bought by people in the government compound.
"You're going to let me come, who the fuck doesn't want to come, which king and calf ......"
With twenty yuan in his arms, Li Feng hummed a little song to clean up the stall, ready to go to the town restaurant to dispose of the pocket fish.
"Yo, little ghost, are you in a good mood, is business good?"
A sudden voice reached Li Feng's ears, and the middle-aged man who had bought two pheasants at the previous time came to Li Feng's side at some point.
Today he wears black leather shoes in his tunic, a pen is stuck in the pocket of his jacket, his hair is meticulously thin, and he is dressed well.
"It's okay, everyone who eats the imperial grain in it is rich, and all four rabbits are sold out. ”
Li Feng could see that he was also a person in the compound, and he didn't know what he was doing inside, so out of politeness, Li Feng pointed to the government compound and replied patiently.
"What's this?"
The middle-aged uncle smiled and asked, pointing to Li Feng's fish pocket.
"The fish in the Woniu River are afraid that they will not be fresh, so I deliberately wrap them in moss and leaves, and the spicy and boiled soup are particularly fresh. ”
Li Feng patiently explained.
The middle-aged uncle asked, "Do you want to sell it?"
"Of course it's sold, otherwise I'll bring it to the town for what!" Li Feng replied.
The middle-aged uncle opened the plastic bag and looked at it, and asked, "Little ghost, how much money are you going to make?"
"The first time I sold fish, I didn't know how much to sell it for, and I was about to go to a restaurant to sell it. ”
Li Feng is telling the truth, the current market price of pork is three cents and five pounds, he knows, as for how much fish is a pound, he really doesn't know, there are no fish vendors in the town, seeing how this person looks, Li Feng smiled and said: "How much should I sell for a catty, ask my uncle to support a trick!"
The middle-aged uncle pondered and said: "During the New Year's Festival, the grass carp carp sold from other towns are all eight cents a catty, your river fish are pure wild, and the taste and taste are better than them, I think the price of one dollar and one pound is fairer!"
In the past ten years, a pound of Woniu River fish can be sold for one or two hundred yuan, but now in this era, Li Feng feels that one pound is quite fair.
Saying thank you to the middle-aged uncle, Li Feng picked up his pocket and prepared to leave, ready to talk to a restaurant in the town.
"Aren't you selling, I can take care of your business!"
The middle-aged uncle grabbed Li Feng.
"Can you buy it every day?" Li Feng asked rhetorically.
The middle-aged uncle was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't open a restaurant, how can I buy it every day." ”
Li Feng smiled and said: "My fish is going to find a restaurant in the town to cooperate, because my fish is more or less available every day, and you can't buy it every day, so I can only find a restaurant to go, because only restaurants can afford to consume a few catties of fish a day every day." ”
The middle-aged uncle thought about it, felt that what Li Feng said made some sense, and his curiosity came, so he touched Li Feng's little head and asked Li Feng: "How old is the little ghost this year, which village?"
"Li Feng, from Woniu Village, I am seven years old this year. Li Feng replied honestly.
"Why did you think of setting up a stall at such a young age?" the middle-aged uncle became more and more curious.
"I'm willing to do it myself, and my parents don't support or oppose it. ”
Li Feng also felt that this middle-aged uncle was amiable, and chatted with him unconsciously.
"Why?" the middle-aged uncle continued.
Li Feng rolled his eyes and replied: "My family is poor! I came out to set up a stall in order to eat rice and white noodles!"
"Uncle, look, I earned it today, and when the fish thing is done, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to pull some cloth. Li Feng deliberately took out today's twenty income and showed it to him.
The middle-aged uncle looked at Li Feng's money and said with a smile: "You earn so much in one day, little ghost, you are very powerful, what do you want to do when you have money in the future?"
Li Feng listened to it with awe, this kind of tone seemed to have been heard in that TV series, as if it was the Three Kingdoms, so he stood up straight and said solemnly: "Get up a tall building, drive a car, be the village head, and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law." ”
"You little kid, you have money and want to be the village chief and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law... Wahahaha......"
The middle-aged uncle squirted, smiled and bent over, pointing at Li Feng and couldn't help but cover his stomach.
