005 The Disaster of the Horse
The meal was tasteless, but Li Wenxiu was not stunned, and naturally knew the truth of striking while the iron was hot.
It's rare that his old lady took advantage of her temper to open her mouth, if the matter of collecting horses and horses can't be settled, maybe there will be some other moths overnight.
"Mom, how much money do you have at home? The county is now selling for 8 yuan a catty, and the town is 6 yuan 5, if we collect it at home, I plan to give 7 yuan per catty, do you like it?"
It also makes sense for Li Wenxiu to set 7 yuan.
Ordinary people in the village will not take a car to the county to sell it for the difference of five or six yuan, after all, the round-trip fare costs 4 yuan, which is not worth it.
And it's impossible to catch too much of this kind of thing, and you can get three or two catties in one night, so the price of 7 yuan is enough to make the difference.
Although Liu Jinlan has a pungent personality and is even a little vexatious, Li Wenxiu also knows that in her bones, her mother is an authentic rural woman, and she only has a primary school education level and does not expect her to understand much truth
said that she was spicy and didn't know anything, but she was also forced out by her poor heart, and now she was provoked by the two daughters-in-law of the second and third families, and her temper couldn't get down for a while.
But when he heard his son say this, it was like a bucket of cold water poured from head to toe in three or nine days, and his feverish brain immediately calmed down.
"It's so expensive, do you still have to earn it?"
"Yes, there must be, and you can earn at least eight cents by deducting a pound of fare. ”
Liu Jinlan is actually a little assertive, don't look at her usual appearance of being the master of the house, in fact, Li Wenxiu knows that this is all forced by hard life, she is shrewd in small things, and has no ideas about big things.
"And how much do you estimate it will cost?"
Liu Jinlan hesitated for a moment, but finally stood on the same line with her son.
"It's not easy to go to the county, how can you bring a hundred and two hundred catties at a time to be cost-effective, so if you calculate it, it will cost at least 2,000 yuan!"
"Huh?
As soon as Li Wenxiu finished speaking, Liu Jinlan gasped directly.
2,000 dollars is not a small amount.
In 97, the kiln factory in the town cost only a few cents a red brick, and it didn't cost much to build a two-room two-story building.
In fact, according to Li Wenxiu's plan, 2,000 yuan is still less, and now it is the beginning of July, if you don't remember the fork, the price of Ma Shuzi will rise sharply if it is not in late August and September.
That is to say, he has 2 months to collect horses, how can he collect a few thousand catties in 2 months, and he doesn't have a capital of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, which is really not enough.
But he also knew that not to mention thirty or forty thousand, even three or four thousand estimated that Liu Jinlan would not be able to take it out.
After all, he knows very well how much savings he has in the family, saying that a few hundred is on the books, Liu Jinlan must still have private money, which adds up to almost 2,000 yuan, and his opening is almost all the savings of the old Li family, Liu Jinlan will naturally hesitate.
But now is not the time for Li Wenxiu to be hypocritical, there is only one chance, and if you can't catch it, you can only nibble on dried sweet potatoes and salted radish.
"Mom, as long as you sell the horses, the capital will come back, the price in the county is there, and you can't deceive people, we just make a hard money!"
In fact, Li Wenxiu had other ideas in his heart, if it really didn't work, he would have to borrow money behind his back.
Don't look at Li Ri and Honest Friends, but honest people have the benefits of honest people, so they are popular, and it is definitely not difficult to borrow 8,000 yuan from all over the world.
It's just that at the moment, this matter cannot be taken out to say, borrowing money in the countryside has always been an inferior business, and most people would rather suffer than carry a three-point debt.
And he has to prop up the shelf first, and then he can only discuss the matter of borrowing money with him in private, if this matter is known by Liu Jinlan, it will be useless.
"You're right!"
Liu Jinlan wanted to say something, but she really couldn't refute it, and she couldn't figure out the regulations for doing business, but she felt that what her son said made sense.
Li Wenxiu looked at Liu Jinlan's appearance, and he didn't know that the matter had become more than half, but soon he knew that he really thought too much.
Liu Jinlan was struggling, but the reason was a basket, and she didn't take out the family's money, until Li Rihe, who was sitting on the side, muttered:
"Jin Lan, take out this money and count it for your son first! ”
As soon as Li Wenxiu heard this, he couldn't wait to pounce on him and hug him and bite twice, dear father, this is!
Reluctantly went back to the bedroom, Liu Jinlan rubbed for a while before taking out a red cloth pocket from the lattice at the bottom of the box, and wrapped it in three layers inside and three layers outside, and a bundle of blue bills of 100 yuan that was not thick.
After counting, he just wanted to take it out, his brows twisted, and he took out three more sheets from it and wrapped them up and put them in the lattice at the bottom of the box, and then locked the box and went out.
"Oh, that's all there is to the family, a total of 2,100 yuan! ”
After speaking, he sat there angrily without raising his head, the expression on his face was really not very good-looking, only Li Wenxiu knew that it was already a big deal for his wife to open her mouth to take out the 2,000 yuan.
As for the second half of Liu Jinlan's sentence, Li Wenxiu automatically filtered it, and her daughter-in-law wanted to pick the skin of her own man and son, and Liu Jinlan could say this.
Li Wenxiu knows better that if he has not experienced the days of hardship, he will never know how difficult life is, and the life of breaking a penny into two cents will always understand that life is not easy than others.
Busy days always fly by, since Li Wenxiu got the 2,000 yuan from Liu Jinlan at the bottom of the box, the business of collecting horses has officially opened, and such a thing has caused a lot of sensation in Li Wan.
The views in the village are also strange, but without exception, most of them think that honest people do business, and they will definitely not give up if they don't lose their pants.
Good or bad, this horse was finally collected, 7 yuan a catty, without water! 5 cents more than in the town.
The fair price, coupled with the fact that some people have already eaten crabs, naturally more and more people send horses to Li Rihe here.
In the first two days, only people from Liwan's own village came over, and within a few days, people from the two neighboring villages also heard the news one after another.
In 7 days, Li Wenxiu's account book made a note, and a total of nearly 300 catties were collected, and the most important thing is that with the spread of the matter of collecting horses for 7 yuan a pound in Rihejia Wenxiu, more and more people went out to catch horses at night.
Looking at the Meizi River beach, which was almost trampled into a mud pit, Li Wenxiu could only mourn three times for the horses of the Meizi River.
I'm really sorry, in order to be well-off as soon as possible, I can only sacrifice the eighteenth generation of your ancestors, I hope you don't reincarnate as a horse in the next life, and upgrade to be a man as soon as possible!
300 catties of horses, even with water, Li Wenxiu estimated that it would weigh at least 3 to 5 catties, and if you get it to the county, you can earn 200 yuan.
If the price of leeches is not long at the end of August, then being reborn once is probably not to be a rich man, but to be forced to death by debts, so it must be false to say that you are not afraid.
But compared to the risk, Li Wenxiu is more willing to gamble, betting that he did not live in vain for a lifetime.
