Since returning to the village, Li Yadong has been completely idle, and for the first time in his life, he has experienced the benefits of identity change at this age.

When people meet in the village, they will greet him with a smile, "Our college students are here", and originally wanted to take advantage of the holiday to share a little housework, but often the hoe was directly taken away by his mother or fourth sister as soon as he was carried, and the two often criticized him with righteous words: "How can a college student do this, and he won't laugh to death when he is seen by others?"

Li Yadong sat on the threshold and thought about it, what if he miscalculated?

Do you have to hit your head and die?

Otherwise, how can you face your hometown fathers?

These ubiquitous special treatments did cause him a certain amount of psychological pressure, but in general, he was still confident in himself, and even if there was some error in the assessment, it could not be too big.

This is undoubtedly not the way to be idle, the family is so poor, even if he sleeps every day, he can't sleep, the old saying "poor is thinking about change", since the family's farm work is really not involved, he is thinking about making some money in advance, which is originally something he will consider after leaving home.

Someone once said that this is an era when a pig can fly on the tuyere, although this sentence is a bit biased, but it is not unreasonable. Looking back now, Li Yadong found that it is indeed not difficult to make money this year, as long as he dares to do it, he will basically gain something.

As the saying goes, "how bold people are, how productive the land is", the north of Nian Guangjiu has confirmed this sentence with practical actions, this year the fool has alarmed the Party Central Committee, Nian Guangjiu's personal wealth exceeds one million, in this era when 10,000 households have to issue pennants, such wealth is extremely poor people's imagination, it is said that the family's money needs to be dried often so as not to become moldy.

It is ironic that an illiterate person became the first "capitalist" after the reform and opening up. It also proves that the planned economy will not work at all when it is put on the market.

The only thing that makes Li Yadong have scruples is that he can't make too much noise, and he knows the temperament of his family well, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

"Sister, where are you going?" Li Yadong was still thinking about how to make a little money quietly, and just saw Li Dongmei carrying a bamboo basket to go out, and couldn't help asking.

"Take a trip to town, it's not some time ago that you have to take the college entrance examination, and the eggs at home have not been taken to sell, and my mother said that I can't eat anymore now, and I have to save money for you to pay for the journey." Li Dongmei smiled brightly, she was not afraid of a hard life, she was afraid that she would have no hope, but now it is different, her younger brother was admitted to university, and the life of the family will only get better and better in the future.

"Eggs?" Li Yadong's eyes lit up, something good, and he hurried up, "Sister, let me go, this is not the work of digging soil in the field, and I haven't been to the town for a long time." ”

Li Dongmei thought for a while, as if it was this reason, and asked with big eyes, "Do you really want to go?"

"Gotta go! I'm leaving, you see my ass is almost calloused. Li Yadong took the bamboo basket without saying a word, glanced at it, and could have twenty or thirty of them, but his mother should have been holding it for a while.

At present, it is a pure seller's market, and if you have the goods in your hand, you are not afraid of not being able to make money, but Li Yadong has no idea of cheap supply and marketing cooperatives, a pound of pure natural and pollution-free free-range eggs is a dime a pound, in his opinion, it is too cheap, looking at the verdant scene on the mountain not far away, he remembers that there are many wild tea trees on the top of the mountain, and the old people in the village will always change their tricks to come up with some delicious food, and encourage the children to go up the mountain to pick tea, he is also one of the people who can't stand the temptation, the rules are who picks the most rewards, but in the end they are actually eaten by everyone。

Tea eggs, this kind of flourishing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and eventually dominate the streets and alleys of the country, large and small stations of the overlord snack, this era has not yet conquered the city to them.

What this means is self-evident.

Now that he had an idea in his heart, Li Yadong didn't hesitate, but he didn't act alone, but found Zhang Chunxi, the reason is very simple - his aunt's family lives in the town and can provide them with the necessary equipment support. This is probably a kind of resource integration.

Otherwise, you can't boil eggs in the village, now is not the same as before, if his mother knew that her son was on the stove, she would have to spray him to death with spittle.

"Really, can an egg make five cents more?" Zhang Chunxi was grazing cattle at the foot of the mountain, and after listening to Li Yadong's plan, he scratched his head and asked.

"In a word, do you want to do it?"

The eggs are small, Li Yadong estimated that there were only ten pounds, plus the cost of materials, the cost of one was about a dime or two cents. Selling for a dime is what he thinks is a more reasonable price. Mainly for the sake of the villagers, otherwise it would not be too much to sell for two cents.

"Say it in advance, I won't do anything to pit people. Zhang Chunxi knows very well that Li Yadong is not a targeted person, since he said so, then the matter basically did not run. Who doesn't want to make money? It's just that he wonders why an egg is sold for such an expensive price, just because it's boiled with wild tea leaves that no one wants to pick?

Look, this is the most sincere idea of the simple working people at present, they will subconsciously have their own price positioning for each commodity, and if they want to sell something for a dime for two cents, it is almost impossible, and it is difficult to pass the psychological barrier in the first place.

"Pit you big-headed ghost, I sell genuine eggs, not air, people will buy them if they want to eat them, is it possible that I can still use a knife to force others?" Li Yadong thinks that it is necessary to establish a correct commodity value for him, otherwise this guy will definitely be the same as in his previous life, relying on carpenter's skills to work for others all his life.

"That seems to make sense. Zhang Chunxi rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Then let's go, let's go pick tea first, I want to see if you can boil eggs to make the meat taste." ”

Li Yadong couldn't help but snort coldly, really don't provoke him, what's so difficult about this?

After Zhang Chunxi's mind turned around, he found an area with fertile mountain grass, let go of all the bull ropes in his hand, tied them to a crooked neck tree next to him, and let the old cow spin around, and just come and take it away when he was free. It is not difficult to see from his skillful movements that this kind of thing should be done often, which is why his family's bull rope is ten meters long.

There were no waves in the process of picking tea, but it took some time, but when he went back to get the eggs, Zhang Chunxi encountered a little trouble, mainly because his mother had just been to the town a few days ago. In the end, the chicken pen was turned upside down, and it was easy to find two eggs stained with fresh chicken feces, plus the ones that the family had picked up in the past few days, there were only seven in total, which was not enough for a catty.

His mother also scolded and said: "It's not good for you to herd the cattle, just a few eggs have to be sold in the town, why don't you usually see you so diligent?"

"It's okay, less is less, isn't this just the beginning. Li Yadong signaled that it was okay, and he didn't want to eat a fat man. Besides, if it is feasible to try one today, you can't all point to a few old hens in the two families in the future, so how many eggs can there be?

"What's just the beginning?" he glanced at Li Yadong suspiciously.

"Auntie, that's ......"

"Eh, eh!" Li Yadong just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhang Chunxi, "Mother, it's nothing, then I'll go......"

Li Yadong didn't intend to hide this matter from the Zhang family, after all, it was not a bad thing, as long as they helped keep it secret for the time being, he was confident that he still had a little face, and the ghost knew what Zhang Chunxi suddenly smoked.

The village is some distance from the town, and the two of them did not have a bicycle this time, but they suffered a lot, the main weather was too hot, and it took about half an hour to reach the town, and the clothes on their bodies could be wrung out of the water.

The town is not big, and the county is not comparable, even with the township There is a certain gap, there is only one real street, except for a few supply and marketing cooperatives on both sides, the rest are private houses.

The obvious difference from the previous two years is that there are already some small traders and hawkers in the town, and people will always look at them with strange eyes, and some people are still secretly having fun behind their backs, waiting for the business to come and arrest them all, but wait, the hawkers are still doing well, and the stalls on the street are increasing instead of decreasing.

This is probably the first batch of people in China who smelled the business opportunities of the market economy, and although they are now looked down upon by many people, God knows how many millionaires, multimillionaires, and even billionaires will be born among these people in the future?

Zhang Chunxi's aunt lives on this street, and there is a state-owned bun shop in front of her house.

His aunt's name is Cai Xiaohui, who is in her early thirties, plump, and handsome from the perspective of rural people. After learning what happened, he looked at Zhang Chunxi and asked, "Does your mother know?"

"I know that. Zhang Chunxi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, this is an enviable skill, Li Yadong thinks he is not very good at it. He has his own thoughts, thinking that if this matter is really as reliable as Li Yadong said, he will surprise his family when he goes back in the evening.

God knows how aggrieved he has been since he failed the pre-examination and dropped out of school, an old man is idle at home all day long, like a wasted person, there is not much land at home, and there is nowhere to go if he wants to make any effort, and now he has become a cattle herding baby, he is eager to do something to prove that he is still worthy.

Cai Xiaohui nodded, and asked again: "What is a tea egg, can it be sold easily?"

Since her sister agreed, she naturally has no opinion, compared to her sister who has lived in the countryside for a long time, her vision is broader, the government now seems to have acquiesced to the existence of small traders, the only thing that worries her is that she has never heard of tea eggs before, will anyone buy it?

"Auntie, you can rest assured, this thing is very popular in other places, and we will definitely be able to do it here. Li Yadong also followed Zhang Chunxi's name, patted his chest and said.

Cai Xiaohui glanced at him and smiled, she had heard of this child, since other college students said so, it must not be wrong. There is no reason for this kind of trust, and the college students of this year have their own halo, which is different.

So they didn't say anything more, and just before they had their meal, they freed up the stove for them to toss by themselves.

Li Yadong bought salt and soy sauce out of his own pocket, and this money cannot be saved, after all, Zhang Chunxi is Zhang Chunxi, and he is him. You can't borrow other people's pots and pans and have to use other people's spices, this is unreasonable, that is, he plans to keep an account of the firewood and briquettes, and wait for the day when he doesn't do it and end it together.

With everything ready, he began to make tea eggs.
