Chapter 4: Prepare for the test
Secretly exhaled, Dad's pass this level. I have enough time to leave my old house and do something.
"Dad, it's easy to sell. Yang Changting is unfamiliar with the market situation in the 82s, although he later recalled the original situation, but in fact, there are few sources of information, and he can't summarize anything.
If you want to talk about how to make money, Yang Changting has no spectrum in his heart. My first pot of gold, where to start, I can't find a way to make money.
Fortunately, there was a huge sum of 120 yuan in the bag, as well as 30 catties of national food stamps, which made Yang Changting feel somewhat confident.
How long will it take to turn 120 yuan into 12,000 yuan? Can 12,000 yuan change the living conditions of the old Yang family, and can I take my father to the provincial hospital to take care of the stomach disease? Obviously, it is not enough.
But I don't have much time left for myself, and from today to the start of the repeat class, it will be half a month at most, and then I can't keep skipping class. Dad knew that he was absent from school during the repetition period, and he would definitely smoke it with a big stick.
What was the situation on the Liuhe side in '82? From '78, the collective economy began to be revitalized, and it was proposed to realize the four modernizations by the end of the century. But what exactly is done, everywhere is waiting and seeing.
In October last year, in accordance with the spirit of the provincial work, the Liuhe area carried out the renaming of townships and towns and the contracting of farmland in villages to households. The forests, cultivated land, farmland, vegetable gardens, etc., of each village are completely divided in winter, and the responsible fields are assigned to the households.
Therefore, last winter, there was an immediate situation of large-scale cultivation in the area of Liuhe, and all the slopes, farmlands and vegetable gardens that could be cultivated were cultivated.
Every village and every family is like a sluice gate that has been released, and it is extremely happy. It is also that for many years, I have not eaten enough, I have not dressed well, and I am afraid of hunger without work, at this time, all the labor harvest belongs to each family, and I will naturally work hard, but I don't want to be weaker than other people's families.
In the current season, the corn is almost ripe. Yang Changting was calculating how much corn there was in the surrounding villages?
At present, the concept of corn in the village is that it will start to ripen and taste a little new, and the rest should wait until it is fully ripe and when it grows old, it will be dried in the sun and used as rations.
Even though they know that there will be a lot of seedlings in the field and enough rice to eat for a year or two, families will save up corn to ensure that they have enough food at home.
Everyone's hungry!
Yang Changting knew that if he told these people that the tender corn was sold in Liuhe for money, it was more valuable than the old corn kernels, and it was estimated that few people would be willing to listen.
Of course, the demand for tender corn in the Liuhe area will not be too much, and the volume is small, so it cannot show the power of selling tender corn at all. But what would happen if you brought young corn to the provincial capital?
At the beginning, Yang Changting went to the provincial capital in the autumn of 83 to study for a junior college, and only learned about the situation in the provincial capital in 84 and 85, but now, his understanding of the provincial city is completely different.
An area west of the provincial capital, Hexi, is currently home to many university professors, teachers, and a large number of residents. Their demand for this new agricultural product is really not small.
And the purchasing power of the people in the provincial capital is not comparable between the village and the Liuhe area.
At this time, the key problem of economic rigidity lies in the lack of material and circulation. The core of the economy lies in the exchange of what is available, there is no shortage of basic materials in the provincial cities, and the grain income in the rural areas has increased greatly this year.
Isn't this a good opportunity for you?
Yang Changting was determined to give it a try.
He is familiar with the situation in the provincial capital, if he pulls thousands of catties of tender corn to the provincial capital to sell, a corn cob only needs to earn a dime, and he can make a fortune.
To make this plan, the specific operation can be pondered. How to collect corn on the cob and how to set the price? After receiving the corn, how to transport it? How to transport it from the village to the provincial capital? How to solve the problem by car?
This operation, I can't let my dad know, so I have to do it quietly. In addition, next year will be 83 years, and there will be a strike hard campaign that will sweep the whole country, and economic "speculation" is one of the felonies.
When I met my father decades later, I thought there would be a lot to say, but when I really met face to face, the father and son didn't say a few words. Yang Changting's thoughts were beating, and he roughly set his first action. When I saw the five-dollar bill handed over by my father, I didn't know if I wanted to take it.
When the market sells goods back, there must be some inputs, but there are many families and a lot of expenses are needed. Dad gave himself five yuan, which is a lot. Maybe it's because I mentioned that I was going to Liuhe to be a fellow scholar.
You know, now when you go to a relative's house to pay a New Year's greeting during the Chinese New Year, a gift of one yuan is a very generous person. There are those who give five corners and one or two corners to make New Year's money.
"Take it, how much it will cost to go to Liuhe, and when you see that there are review materials, you can buy it yourself. Dad said.
Yang Changting held back his tears and took the five-yuan bill. He still had twelve ten-dollar bills in his trouser pocket, which his father couldn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain where the money came from.
"Dad, I want to bring some tender corn to Liuhe......" Yang Changting suddenly said that if he collects corn cobs in the village or neighboring villages, there will definitely be news to Dad, at this time, first play an ambush, Dad will not care too much.
Sure enough, my father nodded, thinking that he was taking a little bit to the same school as a gift for entering the door.
The old Yang family did not have many responsibility fields and mountains, because the household registration of his parents, eldest brother, fifth sister, and younger brother was not in the village, and only the household registration of the second brother, Yang Changting and the fifth sister was on the side of the old house.
It is inevitable that there will not be much land allocated, and my father will go back to the village to work after not doing the pumpkin cadre, and the educated youth will recruit workers the year before last, and the delegated personnel will return to the city. Several members of the family have become urban hukou, including the second brother, who may also be recruited to change the hukou.
There are few fields, the labor force is scattered, and there is not much cultivation at home. In addition to the rice in the fields, the corn in the mountains is mainly grown on the edge of the ridge, and it is not expected to grow corn for food.
Dad heard Yang Changting say that he wanted to take tender corn to Liuhe, so he naturally didn't care.
There is little corn at home, but there is a lot of corn in the village.
That night, Yang Changting went to the captain's house and asked tentatively, saying that if he wanted some tender corn, would the people in the village sell it. The captain's aunt said with a smile that it would be no problem to order tender corn.
Yang Changting also understood that the other party didn't know how much he wanted, and said, "Auntie, if I buy tender corn, how much is a cob?"
"How much do you want to buy tender corn?" said the aunt, who was very confused.
"Thousands of pounds. Yang Changting simply put a big thunder.
"What are you going to do? Don't you know that tender corn can't be left for long?" said the aunt with concern.
"I know, Auntie. I really want to buy it, how much does it cost?"
"I didn't know that no one had ever bought it like this. How much is a bucket of old corn in the market? If you do the math, you will know that you are a learned person. ”
Yang Changting was a little embarrassed, after graduating from high school, he could participate in the recruitment of workers in the factory, and he was considered a half-literate person, but these conversions were really not good.
A bucket of 25 catties of old corn is worth a bucket of old corn? A corn cob is about two or three taels of dry corn, and five big cobs are counted as a catty. At present, the price of corn in Liuhe is 0.1 yuan per catty, so it is calculated that five or six cobs are given 0.1 yuan.
With such an algorithm, are farmers willing to sell it?
Yang Changting thought that he used 50 yuan to collect corn cobs, how much should it be?
