After the meeting ended, Li Yi did not go home immediately, but called Feng Kai and Zhang Tongfu to stop.

In the simple office of the brigade headquarters, three people sat across a desk supported by bricks with a missing leg.

As soon as he sat down, Feng Kai asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Yi, with more than 600 yuan a day, can your family support it?" ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "Almost, Uncle Feng, you also know that I sell cold skins and mountain goods every day, but in fact, I make a lot of money, so I should be able to hold on!" ”

"Well, if you can't hold it, you'll push the price down!"

"Don't use it for the time being, two cents a pound is not low, but it's not too high!"

Li Yi knows that the price of dry goods this winter will soar from six cents a pound last year to eight cents a piece, and even reached two dollars and four cents during the Chinese New Year.

And five catties of wet mushrooms can almost produce one catty of dried mushrooms, which means that the cost of a piece of a piece of mushrooms can be doubled by the end of the year.

This profit, grabbing money is not so fast!

"As long as you can hold on, if you have any difficulties, just tell Uncle Feng, if you can help, you will definitely help!" Feng Kaidao.

"Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhang, there is really something that you two need help with!" Li Yi said unceremoniously.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to buy two big animals from the team!" Li Yi said.

Now the agricultural cooperatives have not been dissolved, and all the means of production are owned by the collective, including all the large livestock.

Whatever the villagers wanted, they had to borrow livestock and vehicles from the production team.

However, Li Yi said that he would not have to go to the county seat every day, and it would definitely not work to borrow from others all the time.

What's more, the autumn harvest will be coming after a while, and the big animals in the team will not be enough at that time, so how can they borrow it!

So, Li Yi thought of buying!

"You want to buy the big red mule and the big black horse?"

"Well, Uncle Feng, you also know the situation of my family, I have to use a mule cart almost every day, and it's not good to borrow it from the team!" Li Yi said.

"Yes, anyway, the mules and foals that I gave birth to last year have grown up and are planning to sell. If you buy the big red mule and the black horse, the little ones won't be sold! Feng Kaidao.

And Zhang Tongfu asked: "It's okay to sell it to you, but the price has to be calculated according to the market price, and you can't let the members gossip!" ”

"This is certain, now the price of a mule and horse is 250 to 300 yuan, the big red mule and the black horse are in the prime of life, I pay 600 yuan!" Li Yi said.

"Okay!"

"Uncle Feng, I bought the livestock first, but I will give the money to the team later, and I can make an IOU!"

"Okay!"

Feng Kai is not afraid that Li Yi will deceive him, he really can't bring the livestock back to the production team, there is no loss.

"Then we're done!"

"Hmm!"

After finishing the business, Li Yi didn't stay any longer, and then said a few words to Feng Kai and Zhang Tongfu, and then left the team headquarters.

Looking at the back of Li Yi leaving, Zhang Tongfu said with some emotion: "This kid is like a different person, the change is really big!" ”

"Hehe, this man, having a daughter-in-law will change a little!"

"By the way, Lao Feng, you said that Xiao Yi can really take out six or seven hundred yuan a day to collect mushrooms from the members?" Zhang Tongfu said again.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, you also know that this kid has made a lot of money during this time!"

"But six or seven hundred a day..."

At this time, Feng Kai looked left and right, and after finding that there was no one else, he immediately said: "Do you know how much the mushrooms this kid sent to the county seat cost a catty?" ”

"How much?"

"7 Mao!"

"How much?"

"7 cents, no more, no less!"

"Lao Feng, who did you listen to?"

"Hehe, this is what Director Liu of the county state-run hotel told me personally, I sat next to him when Xiaoyi married his daughter-in-law the day before yesterday!"

"Then this kid sends hundreds of catties to the county every day, doesn't he have to earn thousands of dollars?"

"Not really!"

After the shock, Zhang Tongfu frowned and said: "No, I remember that people in the city don't like to eat mushrooms very much, even if they want, it usually won't exceed two cents!" ”

Feng Kai smiled and said: "This is Xiao Yi's cleverness, the price of mushrooms collected by the county state-owned hotel is usually four cents a catty, but Xiao Yi's mushrooms can be sold for five or six cents, and later mentioned 7 cents, which others can't envy!" ”

"Why is that?"

Feng Kai didn't know why, but he could roughly think that it should have something to do with that old man Wang, after all, his eldest son was the number one in the county.

But he couldn't tell Zhang Tongfu about this, so he smiled and said: "I don't know about this, but we just need to know that kid can take the people in the village to make money!" ”

"That's right!"

Then, the two chatted for a while, and then they went home!

.........

Speaking of Li Yi's side, after returning home on a bicycle.

Estimating that the children were about to come back, they immediately put on the big red mule and then drove to the back mountain!

Sure enough, on the embankment of the Houshan Reservoir, Dongzi and others had already packed up all the mountain goods and were sitting there chatting.

It's just that the children's expressions are not very good today, and the atmosphere is a little dull.

Feng Qian and the others also noticed that something was wrong with the children, and immediately asked, "Dongzi, what's wrong with you, you don't seem to be very happy looking at you one by one?" ”

Dongzi looked at Feng Qian and immediately said, "We are all worried that Brother Yi will not take us out to make money in the future!" ”

"Why, what the hell is going on?"

At this time, Qiangzi immediately said: "Listen to my grandfather, Brother Yi promised the members of the village that he would take them to earn money together, and when the time comes, the whole village will pick mushrooms for him, and he will definitely not need us!" ”

Feng Qian frowned and said, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Well, at noon, my father said that he was going to talk to Brother Yi about this, and I don't know how the conversation went!"

Sun Lu thought for a while and said, "With my understanding of Li Yi, even if he takes other people in the village to make money, he will definitely not ignore you!" ”

"Really?"

"Just ask him!"

As he was talking, a child suddenly shouted: "Big red mule, it's Brother Yi here!" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of the village, and sure enough, they saw the familiar big red mule.

Subsequently, under the organization of Dongzi, the children carried the picked mushrooms and walked towards the main road below the reservoir.

Soon, the big red mule cart was joining the children.

After loading all the mushrooms into the car, Li Yi handed out the money from yesterday's mushroom picking to the children and a few female intellectuals, and was about to leave.

But I heard Sun Lu suddenly say: "Wait a minute! ”

Li Yi immediately stopped, and then asked, "Something?" ”

"What... The kids want to ask you something, but they're too embarrassed to ask, so I..."

Li Yi turned his head to look at Dongzi and them, and sure enough, he found that something was not quite right with them.

At that moment, he reined in the mule cart, and then called Dongzi, Shishi, and Qiangzi over!
