Chapter 23: Foothold
He decided to use Xu Jingmin's house as a base to store villain books.
At the end of the third period, Wan Feng found Xu Meilin's brother Xu Bin in the fourth grade.
Xu Bin and Wan Feng didn't know each other, and he was a little surprised to see Wan Feng coming to him.
Wan Feng called Xu Bin to a corner of the playground, and Xu Bin seemed a little scared.
"You're Xu Bin, right?"
Xu Bin nodded and looked at Wan Feng with a puzzled expression.
"Do you know Zhu Xianyu?"
Xu Bin looked very confused.
"It's the guy on the Fruit Tree team who has a good relationship with your dad, the one who often drinks with your dad. ”
Grandpa Wan Feng and Xu Bin's father were a pair of famous drunkards, who belonged to the category of alcoholism, and all of them died of cerebral hemorrhage due to drinking in the later period.
Although they are nearly ten years apart, they are drinking friends.
Speaking of this, Xu Bin obviously remembered who it was: "You mean grandfathers?"
"That's him, he's my grandfather and I'm his grandson, you know who I am this time, right?"
Xu Bin nodded and then asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for me for?"
"I have something I want to ask you for help with. ”
Then Wan Feng said the idea of putting the villain book in his house.
Hearing that Wan Feng had more than 80 villain books, Xu Bin's eyes straightened.
At that time, the temptation of villain books to children was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
"I put the villain book in your house, and the people in your family can read it, and the children of your uncle's family can also read it, but others can't read it, you know?"
Xu Bin's uncle's house is next to his house, and Wan Feng was the best friend of Xu Bin and Xu Jun, the child of his uncle's family, when he lived in Xiaoshutun in the later period.
Xu Bin thought for a while: "My dad doesn't know if to let me or not?"
"It's not a problem, I'll go and tell your dad after school today, you can take me to your house after school in the afternoon. ”
When school ended at noon, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, Tan Sheng glared at Wan Feng fiercely.
Wan Feng frowned and glanced at Tan Sheng, and said in his heart Don't be sassy, when Lao Tzu has a firm foothold in the school, the first one to clean up is you.
If you don't clean up one or two, how can you stand up in school, and if you don't stand up, his life as a border outsider in the eyes of others is very difficult.
He's been there.
When he went to school in the afternoon, Wan Feng quickly noticed the change in the atmosphere in the classroom, and several students in Crouching Tiger Tun looked at him with hostile eyes.
This is understandable, at noon, Tan Sheng must have connected the people of Crouching Tiger Tun, probably to create an atmosphere to isolate himself in the class.
This road is obviously a dead end, Lao Tzu has a villain book, what do you take to isolate Lao Tzu?
The villain book is a good thing, it can make money for Lao Tzu now, and it can also be sold for collection value in the future.
Around the mid-90s, villain books gradually disappeared from the market and became collectibles, replaced by cartoon comic strips.
Twenty or thirty years later, these humble objects have a high collector's value.
Wan Feng remembers that the price of a villain book was as high as tens of thousands of yuan during the peak period of villain book collection, and even some small books in earlier years had reached more than 100,000 yuan.
If you keep the villain book in your hand well, it will sell for a lot of money in the future.
But that's all for later, and if he has spare money in the future, he will collect some small books.
Thinking of collecting villain books, Wan Feng's heart jumped suddenly, and he remembered a collection.
Today is March 6th, and the 9th is Sunday.
Wan Feng decided to go to Hongya County on Sunday, even if he couldn't buy what he wanted to buy, he would just buy some villain books.
He now had forty dollars in his hand, which was already a huge sum in the hands of a thirteen-year-old boy in the eighties.
In the afternoon, he received his first order, and the subscriber came from the classmate named Xu Ling, who was from Dashutun, which was east of the school and bordered the glorious squad of the Huang Hui Brigade in the Black Reef Commune.
Because she was Wan Feng's first customer at school, Wan Feng gave her a seven-fold discount and two cents to read three books.
By the end of school in the afternoon, Wan Feng had received a total of more than a dozen orders for villain books, although it was not much, but considering that this was only his first day of school, this result was acceptable.
After school in the afternoon, Xu Bin and his sister waited for Wan Feng outside the campus.
Luan Feng is also waiting for Wan Feng.
"I'm going to Xiaoshutun to do something, you can go first. Wan Feng asked Luan Feng to go first, and then went down the mountain with Xu Bin and his sisters.
Xu Meilin was in the first grade of primary school at that time, and she was still a yellow-haired little girl with snot and blindness, holding his brother's hand and looking at Wan Feng with curiosity.
This is his lover eight years later? is the lover who broke up painfully after four years of love? When he thinks of this, Wan Feng has a very unreal feeling.
In front of Xu Bin's house is the large courtyard where the Jiangwei brigade is located, and the distance is no more than thirty meters.
The brigade team clinic and the supply and marketing cooperatives are all in this courtyard, and Wan Feng took Xu Bin's brothers and sisters into the brigade cooperative.
Wan Feng bought a dime of candy and bought a bottle of wine.
The fruit candy was twelve dollars a dime, and Xu Bin and his sister shared six pieces of candy, which made Xu Meilin's face full of flowers.
The liquor is Yunshan liquor with more than five cents, and the eighty-year-old liquor has no colorful packaging outside, which is a bottle with a trademark on it.
Wan Feng went to Xu Bin's house with wine.
Xu Bin's father, Xu Jingmin, was also working in the fruit tree team at the time, and he had just returned from the fruit tree team.
He was sitting on the kang and smoking a cigarette.
Wan Feng put the wine on the kang when he entered the door, and then introduced himself straight to the point, and then said his intention.
"Put the villain book?" Xu Jingmin asked suspiciously, he still didn't understand what Wan Feng meant.
"I have more than 80 villain books, which are going to be rented out to school students, but they can't be brought to the school so that the teachers will find out that they will be confiscated. But it was too far away from the school at my grandfather's house, like Da Shutun, the Zhou family and the students of the Crouching Tigers team, and they had to go to the Wahou team, and the road was a little farther. Xiaoshutun is in the center of the whole brigade, and the distance from here to any squad is about the same, so I want to leave the book at your house, and I can pick it up when the time comes. ”
Xu Jingmin finally understood, but still asked cautiously: "Won't the school come to my house to find it?"
"No, I won't bring the students to your house, they will wait for me in the courtyard of the brigade, and it has nothing to do with your family that I come here to get the books myself. And I will also give you a commission, I can give you a 10% share if I rent a book. ”
Assuming that Wan Feng has an income of five cents a day from renting out villain books, Xu Jingmin will get an income of five cents a day, which is not a small extra income in the countryside in 80 years.
A box of matches costs two cents a box, a large grain of salt is a pound, and a handshake or economic brand cigarettes are less than a dime.
Five cents can buy a lot of things.
Xu Jingmin thought about it and agreed to Wan Feng's request without any problems, and also found an empty wooden box for Wan Feng.
Wan Feng went to buy a lock, and this box was filled with all his comic book artists in the future.
