According to the previous agreement when Huo An left home, it was best for the couple to write a letter every other week, and if they didn't have time, they would keep it every half a month.

Kou Xi had nothing to write about at first, so he could only write to him like a ledger of the little things that happened around him. Later, what happened at home, Kou Xi didn't know if the letter in the army was kept open and reviewed. It would be bad if he told Huo An the secrets of the family and caused trouble to Song Jiangang and his family.

But this kind of thing is very uncomfortable in her heart. Later, I thought of a way, and first hastily said that Zhang Yao's child died young. also wrote about the "rumors" that he heard, and said that the affairs of Song Jiangang and Zhang Yao were gossip.

Huo An replied late, and waited until Zhang Yao and his family returned to their home for a long time before his reply came.

The letter said: "I have already guessed what the rumor is. Parents should do their part, whether it is a boy or a girl, and since they have given him life, they must take responsibility for raising an adult. Those who sell their children are not worthy of being human beings, let alone parents. Stay away from such people, they are the source of right and wrong!"

Kou Xi didn't expect Huo An's consciousness to be quite high, and his IQ was not a problem. really understood what was happening at home from her words, and fortunately he was as upright as ever.

"Kou Xi, why haven't you been home recently?" Since returning from his parents' house for the Chinese New Year, Kou Xi has never returned to his parents' house. This made Huo Dagui feel very strange.

Kou Xi said with a smile: "There are so many things going on at home recently, and I don't have the time to go home!"

It's not because Zhang Yao disgusted herself last time, she also understands in her heart that the reason why Zhang Yao is willing to live in her own house is because this is a newly renovated house. But when she thought of that woman's ability to spoil the house, she would rather go back to her parents' house to see her grandparents later than give that stupid woman a chance to harm herself.

"It's okay at home now!" Huo Dagui said to Kou Xi with a smile: "When you take a vacation, bring something to the house to have a look." Noodles, tofu, you can take as much of these as you want!"

Obedient to the sound of gongs and drums, Kou Xi raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Dad, are you in trouble!"

Huo Dagui touched his nose and was embarrassed: "Now the noodles are sold in general, and I don't know when they will be like before the Chinese New Year." I'm thinking about you going home to learn from your in-laws, and see if our noodles can still develop!"

Kou Xi teased: "I heard my mother say a few days ago that our family is going to raise funds to buy a noodle machine?

"What to buy, there are not so many sales, buy a machine and waste it, it will be a broken iron!" It turned out that Huo Dagui had not forgotten what Kou Xi had said at the beginning, and had always thought that one day he could make a fortune by selling noodles.

"You can't eat a fat man in one bite, you have to take your time in business!" Kou Xi smiled: "It's only been a few months, let's beat the reputation first." And no matter how high the sales are, it is not possible to sell goods unilaterally, so we have to have our own people as salesmen and more sales. Relying on my dad's face, it didn't work so well to find a few buyers. People give you face and get the goods from you. But in the end, the person who sells the goods doesn't sell you to build momentum, and you don't sell well!"

Kou Xi smiled: "It's good now, let's see what the policy is." Many places have started to build farmers' markets, and generally the larger towns and villages have their own fixed places to sell goods. Look at our village, now two of them have started to run their own commissaries. Although it does not have supply and marketing cooperatives and materials, it is more developed. The price at which our unit sells goods is set by the leader, and it is not even a penny. Sell your own goods and make your own money, and if you miss a third of a dime, people will wipe it themselves. In the long run, who will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and materials to buy things? Moreover, the market now comes once a month, and things are cheaper than those of the supply and marketing cooperatives and materials. ”

Huo Dagui nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, that's the reason! That day, when I went to buy pig's head meat, Stationmaster Cheng also said that now some people have started to sell cooked food by themselves." It's just that it's not as big and complete as the acquisition station. ”

"The purchasing station of the stationmaster Cheng belongs to the food company, which collects poultry and livestock, and sells poultry and livestock. The cooked food he sells is also from the food company, and it must be more expensive than his own marinade!" Kou Xi slowly brainwashed Huo Dagui: "Don't talk about it from afar, let's talk about the city." In addition to ordinary public units, there are also many small shops opened by themselves. I remember that there was a place at the exit of the city that repaired tires and sold parts, and there was a small restaurant opposite his house. That restaurant sells meat skewers and hot noodle soup, and his kebabs are a must. He has a brother-in-law and also opened a restaurant, which is at the gate of the Thirteenth Middle School, and his name is Thirteenth Middle School Hand-Ramen. People's hand-pulled noodles are also a must, and they line up to eat them at noon every day. ”

Huo Dagui nodded: "Now people are starting to lose their duties, and they all come out to do business!"

"Not only do I open restaurants, but I also sell a lot of small goods. Not to mention the small merchants, hawkers, and shops, you can see that there are many bicycle repairers and shoe repairers. Looking at the day of repairing bicycles, the clothes are sparsely worn, but this business is good. It really doesn't cost a lot of money to stick a tire and repair a car chain. Adding up a lot, that's quite scary!" Kou Xi guided Huo Dagui step by step: "Look, this is the trend in the future." So don't worry, this small store has opened more, and it goes door-to-door to sell. This one sells two packs, and that one sells three packs, and the sales volume goes up when it adds up. ”

Huo Dagui was dizzy when he heard it, feeling that what Kou Xi said was reasonable, but he also felt that she was talking nonsense.

Kou Xi could see it, and said with a smile: "Think about it, you don't have to worry about it. I'll find a time to go home and see my dad, and then ask the buyers to see how the sales of somen can be!"

Huo Dagui nodded, struggled and said, "It's a good thing to have a long-term plan, but you still have to live the days in front of you." Some time ago, Zhang Yao gave birth to a child, and your mother almost didn't bring enough money, and I have been panicking in my heart. Do you say that this big family has to rely on me for food, drink, and Lazar, and if anyone has an illness or a disaster, what can they do if they have no money?"

Kou Xi nodded clearly: "I forgot where I saw a sentence in a book that said that if you have a hundred eggs at home, don't put them in one basket." Put it in different places, in case the basket breaks the eggs and is completely blind. ”

Huo Dagui raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"You can't rely on your own noodles, your tofu business is the backbone of our economy. Kou Xi's words made Huo Dagui's heart move: "You said that the market in each village is not the same day now, right?"

Kou Xi pursed his lips and smiled, Huo Dagui sometimes understands it at one point.

"Some places are on the first day of junior high school, some places are fifteen, and some places are eighteen. Just inquire about this, while the family has not yet started to turn over the land and farm, you can always lead Huo Lu to the market!" Kou Xi did not forget to call the little uncle who would only gamble at home.

"Oh, yes. Last time my second sister was in the hospital, there was a fried tofu in the lunch box I bought for you. There are quite a lot of soy products in the city, and if you go to the city one day to take a look, there will be more varieties and more beyond!"
