Night is approaching, and the drizzle continues.

Under the leadership of Mazi youth, Gu Bei and Ma Rulong went to Xue Village Chief's house, on the way Gu Bei almost did not see a few decent houses, limited to geographical location, the living standards of the villagers were very poor, Gu Bei, suddenly smelled a strong sour smell, so he asked Mazi young man where do you make vinegar?

The young man nodded: "The craftsmanship of making vinegar in our Xinghuazhai has been passed down since the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, two or three hundred years, almost every household has a small vinegar workshop, and it depends on this to make some money." ”

Gu Beidao: "Make a little money, vinegar should be quite profitable now, right?"

The young man shook his head: "You are from a big city, you don't understand this, our village is pure grain soil vinegar, good quality but high cost, what kind of world do you say, good things don't look down on, if you want to say expensive, it's also expensive two yuan, last year's village brewed a whole year of vinegar has not been sold until now! Hey, many people can't even get the money for sowing, and our village chief Xue has all white hair for this matter." ”

Gu Bei was a little curious: "Why?"

The young man sighed: "What else can it be, our village is in the deep mountains and old forests, it is too difficult to enter the mountain, the transportation cost is too high, and the cost of our home-brewed vinegar is also high. ”

Gu Bei nodded, Xinghuazhai is particularly rich in resources, not to mention the vinegar industry, tourism development, vegetable and fruit planting industry is more promising, but the geographical location is too remote, there is no road, the rugged mountain road is difficult to travel, and the hardware facilities and service system are not at all.

chatting all the way to the village chief Xue's house, the door of the hall was open, Gu Bei saw an eight or nine-year-old boy sitting on a bamboo chair reading a book, especially fascinated, the book was the first issue of "Solo Singing Troupe" last year, this "Solo Singing Troupe" can appear in this kind of deep mountains It is not easy, and it should have been borrowed by many people, it is dilapidated and old, and the cover is gone.

Gu Bei was very happy in his heart and went directly into the house.

There were five old peasants sitting in the house, dressed and looked very simple, but they were all worried, one of them was an old man in his sixties, with white hair, wearing an old gray jacket, and was smoking a dry cigarette gun in his hand, and when he saw the stranger who walked in, he frowned and said, "Wang Mazi, who did you bring here?"

Gu Bei didn't wait for the young man to speak, and said: "Village Chief Xue, I am a college student from Qingchuan, I go into the mountains to play, and there is also the thirty-sixth person, can you please help us arrange the accommodation, the accommodation fee is easy to say." ”

"I'm really sorry about this, I don't have time, you can go to the residents of the village and ask yourself. Village Chief Xue waved his hand, his wrinkled face with a sad expression, obviously not caring about these idle matters.

"Village Chief Xue, we've already asked more than a dozen. Gu Bei didn't give up, and said with a smile: "This rain is getting heavier and heavier, if you can't find a room again, so many students will not be able to land, and there will be problems." ”

Village Chief Xue glanced at Gu Bei and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you solve this problem, originally you can boost the economy by coming to travel, and we should welcome it in the village, but I'm sorry, I really have something to do now, why don't you let Wang Mazi take you to the residents of the village to ask." ”

Gu Beidao: "Village Chief Xue, are you discussing the sales of vinegar in the village?"

Village Chief Xue frowned: "Wang Mazi, you said it, right?"

The pockmarked youth scratched his head in embarrassment: "I casually made a few complaints. ”

"Village Chief Xue, this is my business card. Gu Bei took out a business card that Zhang Xuebin made for him from his pocket and handed it to Village Chief Xue, he clearly realized that SARS was coming in a few months, and the sales of vinegar would not be a problem at all.

Village Chief Xue took the business card and looked at it: "Gu Bei, general manager of Yuexiu Media, aren't you a student?"

"I started my own business in college. ”

There was a bottle of vinegar marked with the label of "Apricot Blossom Vinegar" on the table, Gu Bei took a spoon and poured a little to taste, the taste was mellow, the taste was sour and fresh, the quality of this pure grain vinegar was still very good, and it was completely possible to build a brand of apricot vinegar through commercial operations, so he asked: "Village Chief Xue, how many tons of bottled finished vinegar do you have?"

Village Chief Xue said: "1,000 tons, 4,000 yuan a ton." ”

Gu Beidao: "That's it, I want all your vinegar." ”

The five old peasants Huo Di all stood up and looked at Gu Bei with surprise on their faces.

You know, the 1,000 tons of finished vinegar is the harvest of more than 200 households in the whole village last year, deducting the cost of bottling, labeling and brewing vinegar grain, on average, a family will be 10,000 yuan, but because the dealer temporarily changed the hexagram, a bottle of vinegar was not sold, some families did not even have the money to sow seeds, and now such a big piece of pie suddenly fell from the sky, they were both excited and unimaginable, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Village Chief Xue looked suspicious: "This Gu, Boss Gu, you're not kidding, this is a business of four million." ”

"This time I came to Xinghuazhai for tourism, I didn't bring much money, Village Chief Xue, or I will press 50,000 yuan to you first, and then send someone to contact you when I go back." "I'm afraid that something will go wrong when I come out to travel, especially in this kind of place where I don't have a card in the deep mountains, Gu Bei brought 50,000 yuan just in case, and took it out of his purse and handed it to Village Chief Xue.

Village Chief Xue hesitated for a moment before taking the five stacks of RMB from Gu Bei's hand, and then distributed the money to several other middle-aged people: "You guys." ”

A few old farmers took the money and counted it carefully under the dim light bulb, and Village Chief Xue was still wearing reading glasses, which was very solemn, it was really Gu Bei's age that was too young to believe, but if the 50,000 yuan was true, at least it meant that the other party did not lie to him, although the difference between the deposit of 50,000 yuan and 4 million was too big.

After counting, everyone nodded to Village Chief Xue: "The number is right, really!"

Village Chief Xue laughed, he stretched out his skinny palm and shook hands with Gu Bei: "Boss Gu, you are the savior of our village, at the beginning of the year, the dealer said that he would come to collect vinegar, and the temporary change of fortune made us miserable, and more than 200 families in the village are all counting on this money to eat." ”

Gu Bei heard the meaning of this old man's words, and said with a smile: "Although Village Chief Xue can rest assured, I must have this 1,000 tons of vinegar, and I will put 50,000 yuan here for you, I will go back to Qingchuan tomorrow afternoon, and contact you within three days, if I miss the appointment, this money will be from Xinghuazhai." ”

At this time, Village Chief Xue no longer doubted Gu Bei, he had been waiting for so long, and he could afford to wait for three days: "Boss Gu, then let's talk about it, it's too late, I'll take you to see vinegar tomorrow, oh, by the way, Boss Gu, didn't you say that you still have dozens of classmates The accommodation problem has not been solved? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's really been a busy time selling vinegar recently, and I've been negligent." ”

Gu Bei smiled: "It's okay, but it's late now, my group of classmates are still in the rain at the gate of the village, they haven't even eaten after a day's car, they are really tired, this is also to blame for not inquiring about the situation before coming to travel, please ask Village Chief Xue to help me solve it." ”

"Don't worry, Boss Gu, I promise you, tonight is to let the whole village not sleep, and I will also vacate the house for you!" Village Chief Xue patted his chest and stood up, and went out directly without taking the umbrella, Gu Bei followed out, to be honest, he admired this old man in his sixties, who did his best for the benefit of the villagers.

On the way back, Ma Rulong put his arm around Gu Bei's shoulders and kept saying Amazing, Master Gu, I have completely convinced you!

Before Gu Bei could speak in a hurry, his mobile phone rang.

Gu Bei pressed the answer button, and Shen Cheng's anxious voice came: "Something happened, Gu Bei, everyone is tired, hungry and cold, and they can't stand it, but Lu Liang's stupid B secretly rented a house at a high price, and came over to show off, the things that Lu Liang did in front of him made the boys in the class look at him unhappy, and now this kid has caused everyone's public anger, I can't hold it back!"

"I'll go right over. Gu Bei hung up the phone.
