"Uncle, what does the Industrial and Commercial Bureau do?" Tang Xiaonan asked without a word.

"In charge of the market, I have an idle job, drinking tea and reading newspapers every day." Tang Laijin snorted.

The old lady scolded him for being idle every day, heh...... His brother-in-law really has nothing to do, he goes to work in the morning to read the newspaper and drink tea, then runs to the toilet a few times, takes a nap, and continues to read the newspaper and drink tea in the afternoon.

Huo Jinzhi was even more moved, he went to the city this time to understand the market situation, but he didn't expect that the son-in-law of the Tang family was in charge of this, and he could take the opportunity to inquire about it later.

Tang Xiaonan heard Tang Laijin's contempt for his uncle, and he didn't know what the reason was, but although Tang Laijin was idle, the Tang family had one benefit, that is, protecting the calves.

They are definitely not good to outsiders, but they are close to their relatives, so there should be only one reason why Tang Laijin is dissatisfied, this uncle is not very good to his aunt Tang Laifeng.

But it also has to be seen to know that maybe there is a misunderstanding.

The sun is climbing higher and higher, and it has already climbed over the top of the mountain, ready to go down, as long as it goes down, you can reach Wucheng.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in front, and soon a middle-aged man carrying a merchant's burden appeared in front of them leisurely, with a pair of cloth shoes hanging on his head, and straw sandals on the man's feet.

The burden picked up two large baskets, and there was a tao basket at one end, on which was a large piece of brown sugar, covered with a clean cloth, and the wind blew a corner, and Tang Xiaonan's heart jumped again.

Could it be that this is the famous 'chicken feathers for sugar'?

"Uncle, I want to eat sugar." Tang Xiaonan is coquettish.

The middle-aged man immediately stopped, looked at Tang Xiaonan with a smile, he went south and north, practiced his fiery eyes, and saw at a glance that Tang Xiaonan's family background was very good, so he smiled and said: "The little girl looks really handsome, Uncle will give you candy to eat." ”

He took out a hammer and a chisel, knocked down a piece of candy the size of a child's palm, wrapped it in mulberry paper and handed it to Tang Xiaonan.

"Uncle, how much?"

Tang Xiaonan took it out of her pocket, she has a small treasury, yesterday Tang Baishan secretly gave her a dime, and Tang Laifu also secretly gave a dime.

"Don't ask for money, Uncle will invite you to eat." The middle-aged man smiled, this little girl looks handsome and sweet, and she likes it when she looks at it.

"I have money."

Tang Xiaonan shook his head vigorously, the current life of Wucheng people is very difficult, otherwise they would not have crossed the mountains and mountains to exchange chicken feathers for the sake of increasing the output of dozens of catties of grain per acre of land.

The original intention of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar was not to do business, but to increase production.

Wucheng Mountain has a lot of land and little land, and each person is given a limited amount of land, but this is not difficult for the smart and hard-working Wucheng people, who found that the chicken feathers into the field can increase the yield per mu by dozens of catties, which is the story of 'chicken feathers for sugar' that people all over the world know.

Although it was originally to increase production, the exchange of chicken feathers for sugar was the prototype of Wucheng people's business ambition, because many people exchanged sugar at the same time, they would also help people bring goods, and slowly the business flowed, which also caused the unique business experience of Wucheng people.

It is not an accident that Wucheng can become the world's largest small commodity trading center, but the choice of the market.

Tang Laijin took out some change from his pocket and was about to give money, but the middle-aged man looked at the eggs in Tang Laijin's pocket and said, "Don't give the money, or give me two eggs for breakfast." ”
