Chapter 8 The First Test of the Waters

Early the next morning, Shao Wei said goodbye to his family, said hello to the captain, and jumped on the cement boat parked on the shore with Gao Yu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Piscopic! It's so early! The greeting was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

"Uncle Bing! Early! Shao Wei responded.

"Uncle Bing! Where are you going so early? ”

Shao Wei noticed that Uncle Bing was carrying a basket in his hand, which was covered with a towel, and he couldn't see what was inside.

"Can you help me deliver this basket to the Kang family?" Uncle Bing came to the side of the boat.

"But we don't pass by the Kang family." Gao Yu felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll pay you for the journey!" Uncle Bing happily took out a dime from his pocket. (A dime in those days is equivalent to several dollars now.) )

"......" Gao Yu and the cold front looked at each other.

"Take it! This is your labor fee. If you don't take it, people will be embarrassed! Shao smiled and explained.

"You don't know! Uncle Bing often has a side hustle, and he often sells fried goods in the movie theater! When the boat sailed some distance, Shao Wei said to the two of them.

"Isn't he afraid of being 'cut off'?" Gao Yu asked.

"Uncle Bing is a smart man, he will hand over 20% of his earnings to the team every time, and the team will naturally not criticize him if he has benefits; And every time he goes out to do a side job, the team gives him a certificate to prove that he is for the benefit of the public, and it is difficult for people from other villages to say anything. It's called a 'win-win'! You know? Shao Wei said proudly.

"There should be a lot of people like Uncle Bing around us, right?" Leng Feng guessed.

"Yes! Isn't there such a saying in vogue now? Cry out, 'Starve the faint-hearted, hold the bold!' Shao Wei said with certainty.

Gao Yu was silent.

"I wonder if we can use our resources to make it easier for them, and we can also profit from it."

"What resources?" Shao Wei was puzzled.

"It's this boat!" Leng Feng said.

"Oh! Brother Feng, you have a good idea! Shao Wei suddenly realized.

"Brother Yu! Anyway, this boat is rarely used in normal times, and instead of being put aside, it is better to use it for side hustles! Do you think it's good? Leng Feng asked Gao Yu.

Gao Yu didn't answer for a while. Shao Wei slapped him.

"You're deaf! Brother Feng is asking you! ”

"What do you want me to say? Brother Feng is my brother, I'm afraid that someone will gossip behind my back! Gao Yu said embarrassedly.

"It's easy to do! We take a part of the money we earn and use it for the welfare of the villagers, so we are not afraid of gossip. The human heart is made of flesh! ”

"Alright! Do it yourself! It's not convenient for me to participate! Gao Yu reluctantly agreed.

"Coward! Brother Feng, let it go! Sister supports you! Shao glanced at Gao Yu slightly.

Leng Feng sent Gao Yu and Shao Wei to Gaojia Village, continued to move forward, until he came to Kang's house, found the Uncle Xiong that Uncle Bing told him, and handed over the things to Uncle Xiong.

"Uncle Xiong! Is there anything to bring? Leng Feng asked tentatively.

"I don't have it here for the time being, I don't know if there is one in the village?" Uncle Xiong understood what Leng Feng meant.

"Then you can help me ask!" Leng Feng begged.

"I'll help you ask. Is it convenient for you? ”

"I said hello to Brother Yu!"

"Alright! Then I'll help you inquire! ”

"We're going to have a movie here in the evening, come and see! By the way, you can contact us, too! Uncle Xiong invited.

Before the movie was screened, Leng Feng pulled Ye Qing to Kang's house early. When Leng Feng came to Maoshan Township to cut the queue, he was originally assigned to the Kang family, so he was very familiar with the villagers of Kangjia Village. Now take the opportunity to catch up with them while watching a movie, and by the way, you can also explore some "business opportunities". Why not? At that time, watching movies in the countryside was like celebrating the New Year, people from all over the world flocked to it, which was a huge business opportunity for that era when transportation and communication were very backward! It's just that most people in those days couldn't see it!

"Qingmei! Let's watch it alone today! I can't be with you anymore! Leng Feng helped Ye Qing find a place and said to her apologetically.

"There you go!" On the way to watch the movie, Leng Feng had already told Ye Qing about the matter; Although Ye Qing was reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to be a "stumbling block"!

With Uncle Xiong's "matchmaking", Leng Feng met a few people who were engaged in side hustles. Although there are only a few, they are already very good, and you must know that it was not easy to start a side hustle in those days! Although it is said, "Starve the faint-hearted, support the bold!" "But it takes courage and wisdom to actually do it!

"Qingmei! I can't spend more time with you in the future! "The movie is over. Leng Feng put his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder.

"Go about your business! Men should do more! Ye Qing hugged Leng Feng affectionately.

"There's a lot to trouble you in the future!" Leng Feng kissed Ye Qing's forehead affectionately.

"What do you say! I'm your woman, saying such outrageous things! Ye Qing slammed Leng Feng with his powder fist.

"What do you want me to do? Say! Ye Qing looked like a woman.

"In the future, people will come to me, I may not be there, you can help me socialize. I told them about it, too. ”

"That's what it sounds like!"

In the first few days, business was light. But Leng Feng was not idle, he took the initiative to take on the matter of picking up Shao Wei every day. A girl often spends the night outside, and even though she is a cousin of a classmate, it is inevitable that someone will gossip. Although this is hard, of course, there are rewards, Leng Feng is a caring person, on the way to pick up, he is also doing everything possible to inquire about business, and the hard work pays off, and the number of people looking for him to deliver things gradually increases.

Just when Leng Feng was busy, with the efforts of Shao Wei and Gao Yu, the crew of Gaojia Village was also established. Two years later, the love between the two of them also came to fruition. In the sound of people's blessings, they held a frugal wedding, and then threw themselves into the operation of the crew. Shao Wei is no longer satisfied with touring in the countryside, she wants to go to the city and go to a bigger stage!

Although Leng Feng and Ye Qing love each other, they can't get a certificate because of the difference in their "composition", and they have never been able to enter the palace of marriage. This is the absurdity of those days! The two of them didn't care, after Gao Yu got married, Leng Feng couldn't bear to destroy their two-person world, so he moved out of Gao Yu's house, at this time Leng Feng had already made a lot of money in three years, and he used the money to buy a ten-ton second-hand motor boat, of course, in the name of the production team. He is no longer satisfied with the small fights he used to make, he wants to move towards a bigger goal!

For the convenience of business, Leng Feng regarded the ship as his home. In order to take care of Leng Feng in life and make him have enough energy to carry out business, Ye Qing resolutely lived on the boat with Leng Feng despite the opposition of his parents. Although Ye Long also felt sorry for his sister, he had no choice but to bless them silently in his heart.

If you want to find a big business, you have to go to the city to find it, Leng Feng thought of Zhang De. Leng Feng wrote a letter to his mother and Zhang De respectively, and then decided to leave for Ningzhou City three days later.

Coming out of the post office, Leng Feng bought two pieces of good cloth and some tobacco and alcohol in the supply and marketing cooperative. Then he hugged Ye Qing and went straight to Ye Qing's house.

"Why are you here?" Ye Qing's mother was very surprised.

"We are going to Ningzhou City in a few days, and we will come to see you when we are free in the next few days!" Leng Feng handed the cloth and cigarette to his mother.

"How can you still buy so many things! It's expensive! Mother said distressedly.

"This is a little bit of our junior's heart! Take it! Leng Feng's hanging heart finally let go.

On the way here, he was worried that Ye Qing's mother would ignore him. This should be attributed to Ye Long! If it weren't for Ye Long's frequent talk about their kindness in front of his parents, his mother's attitude would not have been so friendly.

"You don't have to run transportation these days, just live at home!" At the dinner table, Ye Qing's father said to Leng Feng kindly.

Leng Feng and Ye Qing looked at each other and smiled. That's acknowledging them!

After dinner, Leng Feng and Ye Qing came to Gao Yu's house hand in arm.

"Yo! What kind of wind blew the two rare guests here! Shao Wei greeted him with a big belly.

"Sister! Come inside! We don't dare to be a tire gas! Ye Qing helped Shao Wei into the house.

"Sister! Brother Yu! In a few days, we will go to Ningzhou City. "Leng Feng gets straight to the point.

"Now that you have a big ship, it's very convenient to go to Ningzhou. It's time to go home and see your mother! Gao Yu said with concern.

"I went to Ningzhou mainly to find Uncle Zhang!"

"For business?" Gao Yu asked.

"Take us with you!" Shao Wei pleaded with Leng Feng.

"What are you going to do?" Gao Yu asked Shao Wei puzzled.

"We can't just walk around the countryside all the time! We should go to the bigger stage! "Shao Wei is full of pride!

"If you have no relatives and no reason, you go to ask someone, it's not good!" Gao Yu was reluctant to ask for help.

"One more friend, one more way! I didn't say I had to beg someone! Shao Wei was a little unhappy.

"When the time comes, I'll go alone! I don't need you to accompany me! Shao Wei said angrily.

"Can't I go with you?" Gao Yu hurriedly compensated Shao Wei.
