Chapter 43: The First Business
Sun Guiying's life is really good, after tossing for a long time at the town health center, there is good news in the village, she gave birth to a pair of twins, both male babies.
Sun Guiying looked at the two sons who were like red balls of meat, not to mention how happy she was, her status in the old Song family was unsurpassed by everyone.
Zhu Lingling, the attending doctor of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the health center, is a chubby woman, she smiles gently and amiably, she rarely delivers twins, especially in the 80s, the single child delivered is thin and thin, the two little guys in front of him, the month has not arrived, the twins are still chubby, how to look very cute, so I chatted with Sun Guiying.
Unconsciously talked about why Sun Guiying gave birth early, Sun Guiying mentioned Song Qingtian, and said that she killed the cats and dogs at home, and also harmed the child in her belly, which led to the birth in the insufficient month.
When Zhu Lingling heard Song Qingtian's name, her gentle and amiable face suddenly became serious and calm, and she felt uncomfortable for a while, Sun Guiying only cared about her own happiness, and didn't notice these at all.
Sun Guiying would not have thought that this Zhu Lingling's daughter was also studying in the town junior high school, and she was in the same class as Song Qingtian and Su Jinping's mother.
Sun Guiying's troubles made a particularly effective advertisement for Song Qingtian, and his character and ability have risen sharply in Songhe Village, and his own business to collect loaches and yellow eels is also well-known in Songhe Village.
On Friday night, Song Qingtian and Song Beifeng had a pair of accounts.
The loaches received 200 catties, and the yellow eels had 60 catties.
Two-fifths of the quantity was sold by the people of Songhe Village, mainly Song Mazi and Song Tao, more than two-fifths of the quantity was sold by the villagers of Zhaojiawan, mainly by Zhao Leiming, and less than one-fifth of the villagers of Yanghe Village.
Song Qingtian took the account and said, "Third uncle, have you seen the benefits of bookkeeping?" We can clearly see where the source of goods comes from, and it is very convenient to allocate the source of goods. ”
Song Xifeng couldn't help nodding, it was really insightful, Song Qingtian asked him to keep the accounts, and even wrote down the people from which village came to sell, which was really beneficial.
"On a sunny day, if you continue like this, the supply is guaranteed."
"Yes, I was worried that I wouldn't have enough money at first, and my aunt didn't want to help find someone, it seems that this is also good, the loach resources in Yanghe Village will be put first, and the loach resources of Song River and Zhaohe River will be controlled first, and when the supply is insufficient, the people in Yanghe Village will be mobilized in the key way."
"Sunny day, you said a lot, when the loaches produced by Song River and Zhao River are almost caught, we will go and collect the loaches in Yang River." After Song Xifeng finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong there, although he was young, he still had vision. "On a sunny day, you have to collect 400 catties a week, and 1,600 catties a month, the loaches and eels of these three rivers will be caught sooner or later, I am afraid that the loaches and eels in these three rivers will be gone in less than a year, what can I do in the future?"
Song Qingtian admired the third uncle's foresight, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, there is a word called sustainable development, and we can do sustainable business. ”
"Sustainability?"
This word was only proposed many years later, Song Qingtian was prescient and knew the truth very well, Song Xifeng knew what it meant, and he was puzzled by the question raised by Song Qingtian.
"Third uncle, you see that some of the loaches we collect are too small, so we will raise the small ones and sell them next year, and then raise the small ones we will harvest next year, and we will be able to sell them the year after tomorrow, this is sustainable development."
"You're raising loaches?"
"I have this plan, but it depends on the production of loaches and eels in these three rivers this year, and of course we have to prepare in advance, you think there are ponds, potholes that can't grow crops, so we contracted to raise loaches. Loaches have a particularly strong vitality and are very easy to raise. ”
"Mass graves?" Song Xifeng first thought of a place, but he regretted it when he said it.
The mass grave is a big puddle in the east of the village, which is the place where the Kuomintang and Japanese devils, as well as bandits and robbers killed people and threw corpses during the War of Liberation and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In the countryside, in the 80s, the feudal superstition of ghosts and gods has been resisted, and it cannot completely eliminate the deep-rooted thoughts of farmers for thousands of years.
Song Qingtian also vaguely knew this place, "Third uncle, what you think is the same as what I think, we can start with the mass grave." ”
"The elderly say that it is not clean, haunted, and in the summer, the ghosts are flying around, strange and scary, although I believe in Marxist materialism, but when it comes to mass graves, there is still some uncomfortable feeling psychologically."
Children who grew up near the mass grave are often passed on some weird stories by the old people, Song Xifeng is very normal, young people who have not read much books, their livers tremble at the mention of mass graves.
"Third uncle, think about this matter slowly in the future, you can help inquire about the ownership of the mass grave, we should think about it early. At present, it is still necessary to take it step by step and fight steadily. Lu Xin: They are coming tomorrow, I will cooperate with him for the first time, I have to make some appearances, and then we will classify the loaches and eels in detail later, and release the small loaches and eels in a plastic bucket first. ”
Busy until more than nine o'clock in the evening, the two were tired and sleepy, Song Qingtian and Song Xifeng finally divided all the loaches and yellow eels into categories and picked out the small ones.
At six o'clock the next morning, Song Xifeng rode a bicycle and carried Song Qingtian to the town to wait for the arrival of Lu Xin and Yu Qingbo.
The early spring was still cold, and there was a little northwest wind in the morning, and the freezing Song Qingtian only rubbed his hands and stomped his feet.
At seven o'clock, Lu Xin's and Yu Qingbo arrived as scheduled in a J130 light truck.
Song Qingtian greeted him and introduced Song Xifeng to Lu Xin, "This is my third uncle, my elder and my helper." ”
Song Xifeng introduced himself neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Lu Xin was also smiling, and the scene looked harmonious.
It's really good, and I found a helper, Lu Xin thought that she was a little girl who was going to run the business alone, it seems that she was wrong, and looked at Song Xifeng carefully, judging from his age, from the language and behavior and physiognomy, this person is simple and not cunning, and he is a relative, he is definitely a reliable person, and he believes in Song Qingtian's vision more and more,
Lu Xin looked at Song Qingtian's little face that was red from the cold, and became more and more delicate, so he smiled and said, "Aren't you too cold?" When will it be in town. ”
"It's only been an hour, your first time here, I have to show you the way when I say anything."
"Okay, you can get in the car, it's too cold outside."
Song Qingtian said with a smile: "Brother Lu, you have come all the way here, you must be cold and hungry, if you don't dislike it, I want to invite you to taste the spicy soup in our town and take a sip to warm your body." ”
Yu Qingbo originally thought that they would get into the car after saying a few words, but when he heard that he was going to eat, he quickly jumped out of the car, "No, it's really cold in the car, if you have anything to eat or drink, take us quickly." ”
When it comes to business cooperation, inviting people to dinner is something that Song Qingtian has been familiar with in his life, and it is the best way to treat people when it is cold and cold, and eating some warm food is the best way to entertain.
It is better to deliberately invite people to eat than to be in a hurry.
Song Qingtian had already thought about it, and took them to drink two bowls of mutton and spicy soup, the spicy soup was fragrant and refreshing, with the fried fritters that had just been fried, it was burnt and crispy, Lu Xin and Yu Qingbo ate very comfortably, and they were warm after eating.
Yu Qingbo ate and drank a lot, and kept asking questions about how she was collecting loaches in the past few days, as if she was worried that Song Qingtian had no experience when she just started doing it, and that she didn't receive so many loaches.
Song Qingtian took the trouble to explain the acquisitions in the past two days.
Lu Xin barely listened to them seriously, and occasionally listened to the key points, all of which were in line with the impression of Song Qingtian in his heart, and his confidence in Song Qingtian was finally right.
When I arrived at Song Qingtian's house, I saw the twenty plastic buckets in the wing, which made people feel very supportive at a glance, more than half of the plastic buckets had not been used, and the plastic bucket containing loaches and yellow eels Lu Xin took a brief look at it and nodded with great satisfaction.
Song Qingtian said: "I have sorted them all, the yellow eel loaches are packed separately, and the size is also picked, the big ones are sold to you, and the small ones are kept first." ”
Yu Qingbo asked puzzledly: "Do you keep a small one to eat?" ”
Song Qingtian smiled and said nothing, Lu Xin didn't know the word sustainable development, but he had already seen the mind of this little girl.
A continuous and stable supply of goods is not something to say casually, this little girl has brains and will plan for herself in advance.
Because Song Qingtian and Song Xifeng were classified in advance, Lu Xin and Yu Qingbo were also much more convenient, and the loach and yellow eel were weighed, and everyone worked together to lift it to the J130 light truck, and it took less than half an hour to get it.
Lu Xin took out 100 yuan and handed it to Song Qingtian: "Pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with the other hand, and the money and goods will be cleared." ”
Song Qingtian did not hesitate at all, reached out and took the money and counted it.
"Sunny day, didn't Boss Lu lend you 500? also collected money...... "Song Xifeng didn't understand why Song Qingtian was so ignorant.
Song Qingtian first thanked Lu Xin before explaining to Song Xifeng: "Third uncle, Brother Lu borrowed my money, it was borrowed with an IOU, and I collect money is a necessary procedure for us to do transactions, I borrow money to repay money, and collect money for business, these two things cannot be confused." ”
Lu Xin clearly supports Song Qingtian's view.
Song Xifeng nodded a little understandingly, thinking that there are so many ways to do business, and this needs to learn something hard to help Qingtian.
Yu Qingbo packed up the truck, checked it carefully, and then jumped out of the car and said with a smile: "This saves a lot of trouble, and I don't need to get a fishy smell." ”
Lu Xin quipped: "Qingbo, it seems that I don't need to bring you here in the future." ”
"Brother Lu, don't, you are hiding all the birds and hiding the bow, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooking."
"That can't be helped, who made you a hapless rabbit."
“……”
Song Qingtian was a little sneering, Lu Xin was right, he had done everything together, Lu Xin would come alone, it didn't matter if Yu Qingbo came or not.
Doing business, reducing labor and costs, and making more money, Song Qingtian believes that Lu Xin knows this very well in his heart.
If this is really the case, Yu Qingbo was left aside by Lu Xin, and Song Qingtian felt uncomfortable.
Lu Xin patted Yu Qingbo on the shoulder and said, "Shouldn't you thank Song Qingtian for giving you a long vacation of freedom." ”
"Brother Lu, you ......" Yu Qingbo looked at Song Qingtian with a sad expression.
I didn't expect Lu Xin to speak outright in front of so many people, this meeting was a little embarrassing.
Lu Xin smiled and continued: "Xiaobo, are you resentful of Qingtian? ”
"I didn't, I just thought it was a bolt from the blue, and I finally understood what a bolt from the blue was."
"Then stop talking nonsense, get in the car and leave."
This business is going well, but Song Qingtian is a little uncomfortable in his heart, he has done something, but Yu Qingbo has no way, which is a bit of a loss.
Isn't it a bit too much for Lu Xin to do this?
