On the second day of the final exam, three subjects of history, geography and politics.

Two subjects in the morning, politics and history.

At this time, there was no division of arts and sciences, although the proportion of scores was different, but since the high school entrance examination was examined, there was no distinction between major and minor subjects, and the situation of the examination was similar to yesterday.

Several students like Zhao Xiaoli and Bai Dongsheng still answered very seriously, students like Zhang Nan and Qi Lili still answered casually and finished the matter, and students like Lu Ye and He Fulai still handed in blank papers.

After the two subjects, take a lunch break.

At the opening of the market today, Tang Wan said to buy some food, and Zhang Dongming and the two of them got out of school and walked towards the market in the east of the township.

The bazaars in the countryside are always very lively.

At the entrance of the market, one after another three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles selling vegetables and fruits lined up on both sides of the road, and the old men and women on the car shouted at the top of their voices, and the people who bought vegetables and fruits next to the car were blocked on the road, so that a bus going to the county seat was frantically honking its horn while moving slowly in the crowd.

Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan walked through the crowd and walked towards the market.

Today, Tang Wan plans to buy some mushrooms, asking for the price here, picking mushrooms there, in fact, it is the same thing to ask and pick and choose, but this girl is still happy to ask and pick one stall after another.

"Let's go, go ahead and have a look. In front of the mushroom stall, Tang Wan picked it for a long time, but still didn't buy it.

"Here it is. Zhang Dongming was chatting with the aunt who was playing at a stall selling mushrooms.

"Hurry up. ”

"Ahh ”

Tang Wan went to the front by herself, and Zhang Dongming was still chatting with the aunt who sold mushrooms.

"Auntie, mushrooms don't seem to be easy to sell. ”

Zhang Dongming looked back and forth, all the stalls in this area were selling mushrooms, but few people bought them, and there were more people selling mushrooms than buying mushrooms, otherwise this aunt would have no time to chat with him.

Zhang Dongming probably understands this.

In 2001, the general living conditions of people in Beishan Township were still very low, and mushrooms were a bit expensive as vegetables, and then the main thing was that mushrooms were really not fresh vegetables for people in Beishan Township, so there were naturally few people who bought them.

In fact, there is not a single serious vegetable merchant in the entire market who sells mushrooms, and they cannot be sold at all.

In front of me, there are small stalls to buy mushrooms, and their mushrooms are all picked in the mountains by themselves, just like many people in the market who carry baskets to sell apricots and plums on their own trees.

"No, it's not easy to sell, look at this circle, how many mushrooms are sold. The fat aunt in front of her is also quite able to nag, while fanning her chest with a cool hat, she said: "I don't expect to sell much, I pick it all by myself, it's okay to be idle at home, I can sell it when I catch up with the market, and if I can't sell it, I will go back and eat it slowly." ”

"Don't you usually go to the village to collect mushrooms?" asked Zhang Dongming.

"How can there be, if anyone bothers to sell this in Baal, and if there is, they may not be able to catch up. ”

"Why?"

"At this time, whoever has nothing to do not go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms, just like our village, generally every household has a little bit, and those who go to collect mushrooms are also harvested as soon as they enter the village. ”

Zhang Dongming nodded, and looked down at the fresh and dried mushrooms that were divided into two batches: "These are all from last year?"

"Last year's, my dried mushrooms here are all from last year. Saying that, the fat aunt who looked very honest also whispered: "Look at those over there, their dried mushrooms look at least the year before last, and if you buy them back to cook, the taste is far worse." ”

Zhang Dongming smiled and didn't ask any more: "Auntie, give me half a catty of dried red mushrooms." ”

Then Zhang Dongming chatted with another aunt who sold mushrooms in a few stalls for a while, although it was not from a village, but the two said that the situation was about the same, and Zhang Dongming bought half a catty of fresh yellow mushrooms.

I wanted to ask the others again, but at this time, Tang Wan called him after buying vegetables.

In half a day, the girl actually bought some mushrooms and eggplant.

"Why are you buying so many mushrooms?" Tang Wan looked at the mushrooms Zhang Dongming was carrying.

"I think it's cheap, so I'll eat it slowly. Zhang Dongming said with a smile.

Tang Wan was a little speechless, but she didn't say much, she bought everything, and the mushrooms were not like other dishes, so they could be put away.

Then because there was an exam in the afternoon, they didn't rush to cook when they went back, so they bought ten yuan of meatballs, and bought a watermelon for four yuan at the entrance of the market and went back.

When the two of them got home, the time to eat the balls was almost over, and there was no refrigerator, Zhang Dongming tied the basket to a rope and put the watermelon in the well to cool, and the two went out to school.

The last subject, Geography.

After the end of this subject exam, it is basically a holiday, and at this time, the hearts of the students are completely scattered, and even students like Zhao Xiaoli can see the mood of relaxation and joy.

In the classroom, there is still a little time before the exam starts.

Tang Wan looked at these cheerful students, and Zhang Dongming chatted with them with a smile. During this period, Zhang Dongming also asked about the mushroom picking in the students' homes and their respective villages.

Start the exam.

The process is still the same, but the students generally handed in the papers earlier than before, and there were few people in the classroom in less than ten minutes, and Zhao Xiaoli and Bai Dongsheng also handed in the papers in advance.

Then when each student handed in the papers, Tang Wan would remind them and say that they would remember to come back to school.

……

……

In the evening, after eating watermelon, Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan sat in the courtyard to cool off.

Tang Wan held her chin and looked at the stars in the sky, Zhang Dongming crossed Erlang's legs and hummed a small song, and neither of them spoke.

Good for a while.

"What are you asking the students if they have mushrooms at home?" Tang Wan asked.

"I want to collect some mushrooms. Zhang Dongming said.

"Collecting mushrooms?" Tang Wan was a little confused, and after thinking about it, she didn't understand too much: "What are you doing collecting mushrooms?"

"It's okay to go on vacation, think about earning some money. ”

This matter was decided by Zhang Dongming yesterday, and he felt that he should make some money.

He doesn't need to earn much, just enough to spend, because he doesn't want to break his current state of life, at least not for the time being.

As for the future, who knows.

Just like he figured out yesterday, life is experienced every day, and people's thoughts are always changing, there is no need to think so far, and there is no point.

Then, because of the current conditions, there are not too many simple and easy ways to make money that he can think of, and there are even fewer that can be implemented, and harvesting mushrooms is one of them.

In fact, when he went to the market with Tang Wan for the first time and saw so many people selling mushrooms, he realized it, and later heard more or less about this situation from Sun Shufen's mouth, but he didn't inquire much about the idea of making money at that time.

And today, judging from the two aunts who sell mushrooms in the market and the students in Tang Wan's class, his judgment should be correct.

In this Beishan Township, harvesting mushrooms can indeed make a lot of money.

As for why no one did this before, it may be that they are all random retail investors, they can't see the scale, and people don't realize the profits. Mushrooms are not like other vegetables, they are not easy to sell, and if there is no clear next home, no one usually bothers to pour this thing.

"Lend me my phone. Zhang Dongming went back to the house and brought a phone book with several mobile phone numbers on it.

"Give. Tang Wan turned around and took the mobile phone from the windowsill and handed it to him.

Taking the phone, Zhang Dongming took a breath and dialed one of the mobile phone numbers.

"Hey, hello. On the other end of the phone, a boy's voice came, familiar and distant.

"Hey, who's who?" the voice on the other end of the phone rang again.

"I, the fourth. Zhang Dongming breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly.

"Damn, you kid still remembers your eldest brother, it's been two months since he graduated, and he hasn't had a letter. ”

"I couldn't find the phone book before, but I just turned it out. ”

"I believe you have a ghost, what's the matter, didn't you go home to be a teacher?"

"It's okay, it's good. ”

The two chatted casually, and Zhang Dongming's mood gradually calmed down.

Zhang Dongming called this person's name is Liu Chuan, Zhang Dongming's college classmate, a dormitory, and the two have a good relationship.

At the same time, this Liu Chuan was also one of the two friends who later partnered with Zhang Dongming to open a construction company.

"Are you going to pour mushrooms?

"No, isn't this summer vacation, I'm thinking about pouring some mushrooms and making some money. Zhang Dongming said here.

"For mushrooms, our company must have a demand, but it seems that they are all bought from other places, and generally do not accept retail investors, mainly because the amount is too small, how many can you have?"

"It's hard to say now, there must be 1,800 catties. ”

"I haven't touched this mushroom either, and when I get back, I'll ask my dad, I'm not at home now, I'll write to you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, don't be embarrassed, I don't care. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, come on, I'm drinking it, by the way, what kind of mushroom are you?"

"Red mushrooms and yellow mushrooms are the kind picked in the mountains, and I don't know what they are called. ”

"Damn, I don't understand either, okay, remember. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Dongming handed the phone to Tang Wan.

For Liu Chuan on the other end of the phone, the two have not seen each other for two months, but for Zhang Dongming, this call is indeed the return of the two of them after more than ten years of ups and downs, and he can't help but be a little stunned for a while.

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Dongming found that Tang Wan was looking at him, and said with a smile: "Am I so handsome?" ”

Tang Wan pursed her lips and said, "It's really strange to find you. ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's weird. ”

"For example?"

"Not for example. ”

"Okay. ”

In front of the window, in the night light, the two chatted casually.
