Chapter 19 Chenjialing Gold Mine
Approaching the end of the year, farmers who have been busy for a year have begun to prepare New Year's goods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Farmers are like this, they are reluctant to wear in spring, they don't want to eat in summer, they don't have time to play in autumn, only in winter, they want to eat what they want to eat, they want to spend flowers, and they spend all the money they have saved for the New Year.
Dongyu Town is a big set, men, women and children, crowded with people, looking east and west, bargaining. In Han Shaoning's baked cake shop, the guests are also coming in and out, and the business is very good, he is busy alone, and he can't cope with it, but he doesn't feel tired at all.
In the afternoon, people dispersed and retreated.
Han Shaoning finally had time to sit down, drink wonton soup, bite into a piece of baked cake, and look at a box of loose money, although his hands and feet were a little tired, but his heart was still beautiful.
At this time, a brand-new Santana sedan drove to the door of the bakery, and a middle-aged man got out of the car, his hair was freshly cut, the smell of hairspray was still very strong, his jacket was brand-new, and his leather shoes were shiny, and he looked like a rich boss.
"Brother, come with six pieces of baked cakes and a bowl of wontons. The man walked up to Han Shaoning and said politely.
Han Shaoning looked at the new car, looked at the people who came, was stunned at first, then stood up immediately, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's okay right away!"
Soon, Han Shaoning brought the baked cakes and wontons. He didn't go far, intentionally or unintentionally, leaving people behind.
The man took a bite of baked cakes and a bite of wontons, and nodded his head in praise from time to time.
"Little brother, settle the score!" the man took out a hundred-yuan bill from his arms and beckoned to Han Shaoning.
Han Shaoning hurriedly walked closer, and after receiving the hundred-yuan bill, he did not look for money, but stared at the man with straight eyes.
"What's the matter, little brother, if you don't have change, then let you go first. Anyway, I'll come here often, just remember it every time. I'm not afraid of your jokes, since I ate at your place last time, I don't want to go somewhere else to eat baked cakes! I just came back from the county seat today, no matter how big the restaurant is, I don't want to enter, I just want to eat your baked cakes!" The man looked at Han Shaoning's stupid appearance and said very straightforwardly.
"Boss, you misunderstood, I looked at you because I saw that you were a little familiar. Han Shaoning said very shyly.
"Oh, do we recognize you? I've been here once, the night it snowed some time ago. The man looked up at Han Shaoning, scratched his head and said.
"When you came to me that time, was you with Boss Liu, he also called you third brother. Han Shaoning said excitedly.
"Yes, my brother has a good memory!" the man nodded.
Do you remember that once when you drove a tractor to deliver bricks to the three villages in the county seat, you pulled a young man passing by. Han Shaoning said excitedly.
"Oh! Oh! I remember, the one who hitchhiked the car was you kid! No wonder I looked at you and felt like I had seen it somewhere!" the man patted Han Shaoning on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"To be honest, the last time you and Boss Liu came, you had a beard, and I looked familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize it. I don't dare to recognize your outfit and dress today, I looked at it on the side, and finally I couldn't help it, so I'd better ask you directly!" Han Shaoning said with a red face.
"Okay, brother, I have a chance, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm the boss!" the man said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the eldest brother, if it weren't for the eldest brother, I wouldn't be able to enter the county, let alone the future!" Han Shaoning said with some embarrassment.
"What did my brother say, I am optimistic about you, and you will definitely make a fortune in the future!" said the man very seriously.
"Big brother smiled, I can only do a small business, if there is one ten-thousandth of the eldest brother, I will be content! By the way, what is the name of the eldest brother?" Han Shaoning said very sincerely.
"My surname is Chen, my name is Yonggui, I am the third oldest in the family, and my peers call me the third brother, and you can also call me the third brother in the future. Chen Yonggui said briskly.
"Okay, third brother! This bowl of wontons, I can't take any money from you!" Han Shaoning stuffed the money into Chen Yonggui's trouser pocket.
"It's not easy to do a small business, you better take this money! I have something else to do today, so I won't stay with you." Chen Yonggui took the money out of his trouser pocket, put it on the table, turned around and walked out.
Han Shaoning wanted to say a few more words, but Chen Yonggui had already gotten into Santana, so he had to wave his hand to Chen Yonggui in the car.
Santana disappeared and Chen Yonggui left, but Han Shaoning's heart rippled. He really wanted to figure out how a man who drove a broken tractor could drive a brand-new Santana of 200,000 yuan after not seeing him for a few days!
It was very late at night, but he lay on the kang and tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and all he thought about was Santana! 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 500,000 yuan of baked cakes, and the whole room could not hold it! Even if he sold 100 yuan a day, he would need to sell it for at least 10 years!
"What kind of business did Chen Yonggui do, and what did he rely on to make a fortune?" The sky has seen the light, and Han Shaoning's head is dizzy, but he is still thinking about this question.
The next morning, Han Shaoning didn't sleep well and didn't have any energy at all, plus he was always thinking about Chen Yonggui's fortune, so the baked cakes and wontons didn't have time to bake, so he simply hung a closure sign at the door of the store, "If there is something at home, rest for a day". After reading the note, the guests who had breakfast muttered a few words casually and left, Han Shaoning lay on the kang without saying a word, looking straight at the roof.
Time is like a river, even if you stop by the river to watch, the river will rush endlessly. The years passed quickly.
In the first month, the air outside the houses was filled with festive smoke and smoke, and the houses were full of reunion laughter, but Han Shaoning was not happy and happy at all. Since Chen Yonggui left, Han Shaoning's mind has been in a trance.
Except for the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Han Shaoning has not rested in his hometown. He made up a nonsense with his father Han Ruifeng, saying that the store was very busy, so he returned to Dongyu Town. As a matter of fact, there was no business at all during the New Year, and people in the countryside were all visiting relatives and friends, so how many people would patronize the snack bar! He stayed at the door of his baked cake shop all day, hoping to see Chen Yonggui again, but it backfired, and Chen Yonggui was not here after the New Year. He really regretted that after meeting three times, why didn't he ask the third brother which village he was from, at least it was easy to find.
There are some things that can be encountered but not sought, you can't run, and you can't force them if they are not yours. Blind attachment will invite disaster.
At the end of the day, the baked cakes sold did not exceed double digits, Han Shaoning hastily cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks and kitchenware, carried the toys that had already been bought for the eldest nephew, quickly locked the door, and walked quickly to the side of the road, waiting for the last train to Goldfish Town to return to Hanzhuang Village to take a look at his father and eldest nephew.
Goldfish Town is north of Dongyu Town, while Hanzhuang Village is between the two towns.
He sells baked cakes in Dongyu Town all day long, and is very familiar with the last train from the county seat to Goldfish Town. The time store was particularly accurate, and in less than five minutes, he saw the big head of the shuttle.
In the past, there were few buses, basically every two hours or so, but they were all very punctual and not overcrowded. Peasants generally ride bicycles when they go out to run errands, and even if they pay five yuan for the fare, it is like cutting off their own hearts, and most of the people who are willing to take the bus are students and traders.
There are a lot of people on the bus today, maybe because of the last train, except for the big seats in the back, there are basically no empty seats. Dongyu Town to Hanzhuang is more than ten minutes away, Han Shaoning didn't care, quickly ran to the back, sat down, and looked out the window thoughtfully.
Riding quietly in the car is boring, but someone will not feel dull when they chatter. There are always some people who like to pull around in the car, and they have a great feeling of not vomiting and being unhappy.
"Lao Chen, I heard that your village is now very rich, the small dirt roads under the ground have been turned into painted roads, the new houses are no longer six rooms but two-story buildings, the hens are not only big but also golden, and even the girls in the county are running to your village to find a partner! Are these true?" An old man with a forward hat and nearsighted glasses said to the old man next to him with a smile.
"In the past two years, there have been some changes, the small dirt road has become a big road, and the main people are for the convenience of mining and transportation in the mountains, and we have also been stained with light; two households have built two-story small buildings, that is because there are many mountains and few homesteads in the village, in fact, there is no difference between the second floor and the six rooms, they are all four houses; I really don't know which young man in Chenjialing Village married the daughter-in-law of the county seat; as for the golden eggs laid by the hens, it is simply pure!" The old man replied seriously with a frown.
"I also heard what people said, Lao Chen, don't be angry, no matter what, the economic situation of Chenjialing Village is definitely one of the best in Goldfish Town!"
"It's all the gold mines!" the old man sighed deeply and said helplessly.
Isn't it a good thing for peasants to get rich by relying on gold, and apart from Chen Jialing, where else in the world is there a good thing about pies falling from the sky? If there is a mountain, there is not necessarily gold, but if there is gold, there will definitely be money!" The uncle hurriedly asked.
"No wonder you've been wearing short-sighted glasses all your life! Say you're short-sighted, you don't like to listen to it, but one day you'll understand! It's just that you and I may not be able to wait for that day!" the old man finished and turned his head to look out the window.
When was that day and what would happen? The uncle didn't ask Lao Chen again, and if Lao Chen didn't want to say it, he would definitely not say it again. He knows very well that although Lao Chen is a dirt bun, he is very visionary, and he is more far-sighted than himself, who grew up in the village and worked in the county. They had been old classmates for many years and knew each other's tempers and personalities very well.
Han Shaoning, like everyone, also wondered in his heart: Is it not a good thing to have a golden mountain, and he is also wondering what "that day" is all about. While he was still pondering, the shuttle bus had already passed Hanzhuang Station.
