Chapter 257: Examples of Inflation
Li Liang is just a weak member of the gears of society, he can't afford the fate of so many secondary school students, he can only slightly affect the people around him, such as Chenchen.
In fact, before he filled in the application for the examination, he persuaded Wang Chao to let Wang Chao go to high school like himself instead of taking the technical secondary school examination, but Wang Chao refused. In fact, Wang Chao's family conditions are not bad, his parents are employees of state-owned enterprises and institutions, unlike those rural classmates who have such an urgent desire to jump out of the farm.
"Chenchen, did your father say when he was going to start construction?" Li Liang changed the subject.
"No, he said that those two plots of land are not very good, and he is going to find a few more plots of land to see!" Chen Chen said.
"It's okay, you can help me talk to your dad when I go back, and ask him to help me find a few pieces for my family. Our family doesn't have any requirements, as long as we can buy land to build a house!" Li Liang said.
"Okay, no problem!" replied Chenchen.
At this time, Zhang Junjie, who had been sitting on the sofa watching TV, said boredly: "Brother Liang, it's too boring to watch TV at home every day, are you free, why don't we go to my grandmother's house tomorrow to fish for crayfish?"
"Crayfish fishing?"
"Hmm!"
Li Liang suddenly remembered the summer vacation last year, when Wangkelai had just opened, and he often went to the store to play. At that time, with several children of Zhang Junjie's uncle's family, Chen Ze, Chen Tao and others, everyone caught fish and lobsters in the wild pond. It was at that time that Li Liang invented the method of spicy crayfish, which added a popular dish to Wangkelai's store.
To this day, this spicy crayfish has not only become a must-order dish in the summer of Wangkelai, but also many people who have eaten in Wangkelai have also gone home to try to make this dish.
In this way, this spicy crayfish took less than a year to become a popular dish in Hekang County.
People from several other counties in the Gangshan area sometimes come to Hekang to visit relatives and work, and it is very strange why crayfish is something that no one wants to eat in their place, but when they arrive in Hekang County, not only everyone loves to eat it, but also the price is very expensive.
In the past, in Hekang, crayfish cost only a few cents a pound, not to mention that it is not as expensive as meat, and even the price of a dime and a pound of small trash fish is not comparable.
Nowadays, the price of crayfish has exceeded a dime and a catty, so much so that children in the countryside regard crayfish fishing as a good way to earn pocket money. After school in the afternoon, I often don't go home first, but go to the wild ponds, wild ditches, small rivers, and creeks to catch crayfish for an hour or two before going home.
Li Liang didn't know about these things, but he was told by his cousin Li Hao when he returned to his grandfather's house in the past few days.
"Okay, then let's go to your grandmother's house early tomorrow morning to play for a day, and by the way, let's see how Sister Xin manages Wangke now!" Li Liang also wanted to experience the fun of lobster fishing again, "Chenchen, can you go with you?"
"I don't like to catch crayfish!" Chen Chen said.
Fishing and touching shrimp has always been the preserve of boys, and Chenchen, as a girl, has no interest in such things.
"Chenchen, just come with us, otherwise it won't be fun for me and Junjie to go over!" Li Liangyang begged.
Chenchen looked at Li Liang's laipi and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go together!"
Chenchen and Junjie's siblings played at Li Liang's house for an afternoon, and when it was almost evening, the two were ready to go home.
Li Liang left the two of them to have dinner at home: "Chenchen, Junjie, let's have dinner at my house in the evening." My mom and dad will be off work in a while!"
"No need, Brother Liang, let's go home and eat, remember to get up early tomorrow. When the time comes, we'll stop by and call you!" Zhang Junjie said.
"Okay!"
To go to the west of the city from Chenchen's house, you must pass through the door of Li Liangxin's house.
Li Shuangzhu and his family came home after work, his mother went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and his father Li Shuangzhu sat on the sofa in the living room and habitually turned on the TV. Li Liang also sat on the sofa and took the initiative to make a cup of tea for his father!
"Liangzi, why didn't you go out to play today?" Li Shuangzhu looked at his son with relief and said, "Now your second uncle is in charge of the kiwi business, you have been busy for so long, take a good rest!"
"Got it, Dad. Li Liang responded, and then he remembered Zhang Qingxiang's purchase of land, so he continued, "Dad, some time ago, Uncle Qingxiang was going to buy land and build a house, and the small yard of his house is smaller than our previous yard!"
Li Shuangzhu nodded and smiled: "I know about this matter, your Uncle Qingxiang told me." He's already looking for two plots of land in Beimen Village, but they're both smaller than ours now!"
"Oh, Uncle Zhang has already told you!" Li Liang asked.
"Well, when you went to your grandfather's house two days ago, I went to your Uncle Zhang's house one night to play, and he told me about it. Did you give him the idea of going to Beimen Village to buy land?" asked Li Shuangzhu.
"Yes, Dad, I just wanted to tell you about it. Dad, let's go to Beimen Village and buy two pieces of land, right?" Li Liang suggested.
"Haven't we built a new house now? Why, are you not satisfied with our house?" Li Shuangzhu asked.
"It's not that I'm not satisfied, but my mother still has a lot of money in her hands, isn't my aunt directly giving me my mother's dividends from the publishing house in the past few months?" Li Liang said, "It's useless to keep this money in your hands, it's better to buy a few more pieces of land!"
At this time, Li Liang's mother Wang Xiulan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of water spinach stalks, and just heard Li Liang's words, and said: "Why is it useless, the interest rate of the bank is higher now than last year, how good it is to be stored in the bank!"
"Mom, that's not how money is used!" Li Liang said with a smile, "Money is printed by the state on paper, what if the state prints more money one day?"
Li Liang's words made Wang Xiulan dizzy, she was just a middle-aged woman who graduated from junior high school, and she was only responsible for making and receiving phone calls and sending and receiving emails in the unit. What Li Liang said was clearly beyond her comprehension.
"Son, what nonsense are you talking about, how can money become worthless?" asked Wang Xiulan.
"Mom, I'll give you an analogy. It's like this bowl of water spinach stalks in your hand, let's assume that there are 100 vegetable stalks in total, and if you pay a penny, this pot of vegetables is worth 1 yuan!
"Hmm!" Wang Xiulan nodded.
"So, let's say our family has dinner tonight and we have to buy it with money. Each of us has a few cents in our hands, which adds up to a dollar. Then we have to pay as many sticks as we want to eat, right?" Li Liang saw that his mother nodded, so he continued.
"Hmm!"
"Okay, Mom, it's easy to do if you understand this truth! So let's say that everyone in our family has a few dollars in their hands tonight, and the four of us add up to a total of 10 yuan, does that mean that if you want to eat a vegetable stalk, you have to pay a dime?" Li Liang said.
Three more votes, four more tonight!
