On the morning of the third day of the seventh lunar month, Gu Lao Er was dressed in fine cloth and short brown and pushed open the door of his house.

Gu Laoer's daughter-in-law followed behind Gu Laoer, and said in a chattering voice: "Boss, you have to choose the right one this time, you have to buy the harvester produced by the Hua family." Huajia's harvester is sturdy and durable, and it can be repaired for ten years. What kind of Lu family and Luo family, it will break down in a few years, and it is really a waste of silver. ”

"The Locke planters we bought a few years ago are all useless."

Gu Lao Er said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you have not finished, you have said it more than a dozen times." ”

Gu Laoer's daughter-in-law stopped talking and stood at the door to send Gu Laoer out.

Gu Lao Er walked out of the door and pushed his bicycle out under the eaves.

Boss Zhang next door saw Gu Lao Er riding a bicycle and said loudly: "Brother Gu, ride out?" Why are you going? ”

Gu Lao Er casually agreed: "Go buy a harvester!" ”

When Boss Zhang heard this, he said, "Brother Gu, this harvester is not easy to buy now. ”

Gu Lao Er glanced at Boss Zhang, and secretly said What is this Zhang family man, what is it difficult to buy a harvester? I have banknotes in my arms, and when the store sees the banknotes, can I still sell them to myself?

He didn't waste time with Boss Zhang, and rode out as soon as he stepped on the bike.

The agricultural machinery alley that sells agricultural machinery is east of Fanjiazhuang, four miles away from Gu Laoer's house. However, riding a bicycle was fast, and Gu Lao Er only took a quarter of an hour to ride to the agricultural machinery alley.

In the alley of agricultural machinery, it is surprisingly lively.

Many well-dressed people gathered in front of the large and small agricultural machinery shops, obviously all of them customers, waiting anxiously with their chests crossed. Occasionally, a shopkeeper would enter and exit in front of the shop, and those customers would grab the shopkeeper and ask him non-stop, pulling the shopkeeper to prevent him from leaving.

Gu Lao Er was secretly surprised, not understanding what was going on. He locked his bike at the mouth of the alley and headed inside.

Suddenly, a shopkeeper holding a blank piece of paper running in from outside the alley. The little twenty was very excited, and shouted loudly while waving the paper in his hand: "Here comes one!" A harvester was transferred from the warehouse in the south of the city! Produced by the Yan family! The price is seventy-three taels. ”

That little second ran too fast, and accidentally bumped into Gu Lao Er, knocking Gu Lao Er forward and stumbling to the ground.

Gu Lao Er almost hit his head on the cement pavement.

The little two stumbled, staggered a few steps forward, and finally stopped. He saw that he had knocked Gu Lao Er down, and hurriedly came up to help Gu Lao Er.

"This merchant, the little one hit you."

It seemed that he was very sorry for his recklessness, and Xiao Er said apologetically: "This merchant, you are here to buy agricultural machinery, right?" Just transferred a harvester from the Yan family from the warehouse, do you want to buy it? ”

Gu Lao Er secretly said that this little two would sell products, and knocked himself down to recommend it! He got up from the ground, patted the ashes on his body, shook his head and said, "I don't buy the Yan family." My daughter-in-law told me to buy the Hua family. ”

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes when he found that his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. He stopped talking to Gu Laoer, and continued to run into the alley with the paper in his hand. As soon as he entered the alley, before he could shout, he was surrounded by customers who surrounded him from all directions.

"Harvester? I buy! ”

"Is it a harvester, what model?"

"No matter what model, I bought it!"

Gu Lao Er looked at the scene in the alley and was stunned. This doesn't look like the same as the agricultural machinery alley has always been. In the past, as soon as Gu Lao Er walked into this agricultural machinery alley, he would be surrounded by the little two of the shops, and they would brag about their machinery around Gu Lao Er one by one. However, today it was the other way around, and the customers surrounded the shopkeeper.

Have a promotion today?

Gu Lao Er was secretly surprised, blinking his eyes and walking into the alley.

When he walked to the door of the Hua family's store, he found that the door of the Nanuoda store was deserted. In the store, eight shopkeepers and a shopkeeper are playing cards invented by the prince, forming three circles to "fight the landlord".

Gu Lao Er walked in, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "I'll buy a harvester!" ”

The clerk playing cards looked up at Gu Lao Er and pointed to a sign on the table.

Gu Lao Er looked at the table and noticed that there was a big sign there, on which were written with four big characters in a red pen: "All sold out!" ”

Sold out?

How could a company as big as Fahrenheit Agricultural Machinery Factory, with thousands of employees, produce agricultural machinery on the assembly line every day, be sold out? Gu Lao Er was stunned and was about to ask a few words, but the shopkeeper suddenly shook the cards and shouted: "Wang Bang!" ”

Gu Lao Er saw that the shopkeeper didn't care about himself, stood there and was stunned for a while, and then asked loudly: "When will you buy new goods?" ”

The shopkeeper raised his head impatiently and said, "Merchant! Don't you see the crowd in this alley? The entire agricultural machinery factory in Fanjiazhuang was completely shut down. If you want to buy farm equipment, you can only try your luck in the small factory next door. They may still have one or two defective products in their warehouse that they couldn't sell before. If you come to our Huajia store, you will never be able to buy agricultural machinery. ”

Gu Lao Er was so choked by the little second in this shop that he couldn't speak, so he could only withdraw from the Hua family's shop.

Walking back into the alley, Gu Lao Er saw a dense crowd of people at the entrance of other shops. Gu Lao Er now understood what these people were doing, they were all trying their luck, hoping to wait for one or two defective products from the warehouse to be transported to the store for sale.

Just now, the shopkeeper said that he wanted to sell the Yan family harvester to himself, which was a big favor. I didn't know the severity, so I refused.

Gu Lao Er suddenly regretted it very much, standing there and not knowing what to do?

An old man with dark hair walked over with his hands behind his back, walked up to Gu Lao Er and asked, "Does the Hua family have goods?" ”

Gu Lao Er shook his head and said, "No goods!" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Hou Sheng, I think you only found out about this agricultural machinery alley today." All the agricultural machinery factories in Tianjin have stopped, and all of them say that they are not operating well and are suffering serious losses, and they cannot reproduce. At this moment, all the landlords in various places were blown up, and many people had old and broken agricultural machinery and could not be replenished, and they saw that the crops were ripe but there was no manpower to harvest them. ”

Gu Lao Er shook his head and said, "There is such a thing? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Not only agricultural machinery, but also various private factories such as cement factories, dye factories, and waterwheel factories have all stopped production. All kinds of reasons are high-sounding. ”

After the old man said this, he didn't say anything more to Gu Lao Er, and walked away by himself, leaving a word when he left.

"This happened as soon as the Fanjiazhuang Chamber of Commerce was established, I'm afraid it will take a few months!"

When Gu Lao Er heard this, he stood there for a long time.

Going to be messy for a few months? What about my own grange in Liaodong?
