Nail bell ~~~

A mountain trail in Liandong Village, Xingtang Commune.

When the bell rang, the villagers who were busy in the fields raised their heads and looked over.

In these days, bicycles in mountain villages are definitely a rarity, just like the supercars of later generations.

There are no more than two reasons, one is that the mountain road is difficult, and many times it is not people who ride bicycles, but people who ride bicycles. The other is that bicycles are too expensive, and tickets are required, which are almost impossible for rural people.

So when I usually hear the car bell, there is a chance that the leader from above is coming.

Leaders, those are all big people on top.

However, the villagers watched for a long time and found that the person riding a bicycle today was not a big leader in a tunic suit, but a young man wearing a cotton jacket.

"Hey, isn't this Chen Zhongzhuan from Xia Ze Village?"

"Yes, it's him, alas, I heard that their family has moved to the city to enjoy their blessings."

"In charge, I said a long time ago that I wanted my son to study, you see that you just don't listen, now you know the importance of knowledge, right?"

The villagers were talking about Chen Qi when they saw it, and most of them were envious in their eyes, they could ride a bicycle by studying a secondary school, and they could also go to live in the city with their families, and knowledge could really change people's fate.

Chen Qi didn't know that he had become the "object of aspiration" of the mountain people.

If I knew, I would be even happier, life in the mountains is too hard, and it is foreseeable that it will continue to be bitter for decades. There is no way for children in the mountains, and if they want to get out of the mountains, there is only one way to study.

However, he didn't come to show off today, but to find Zhang Agen, the village chief of Liandong Village.

Zhang Agen is busy in the tea garden, after the New Year, soon it is the Qingming Festival, the best Yuezhong Longjing will be picked before the Qingming Festival, called "tea before the rain", and the government's purchase price is also expensive.

The rural areas have begun to carry out the household responsibility system, and the power of village cadres is much smaller, but this tea garden is collectively owned, and Zhang Agen, as the village head, can have the final say.

"Uncle Agen, are you busy?"

Zhang Agen looked back, and his eyes lit up: "Chen Qi, why do you have time to come to our Liandong Village today?" ”

"Hey, I don't have something to ask you for help with."

"Let's go, go to the house and say, you all hurry up and spread the fertilizer evenly, and our village collective can rely on these tea trees this year."

Zhang's house is not far away, and after Chen Qi entered the house, he put the two big front doors in the bag, two bottles of canned yellow peaches, and some dried lychee buns and dried longan buns on the table.

"Uncle Agen, I don't have time to come to the New Year this New Year, and now it's time to pay your old age greetings."

Zhang Agen smiled so much that he couldn't see it:

"Chen Qi, you are too polite, come on, and give such a heavy gift, this big front door, obediently, I heard that only county-level cadres can smoke, good cigarettes."

Chen Qi also smiled: "That's it, I got this cigarette ticket from the teacher, fortunately he doesn't smoke." ”

The two chatted for a long time before Zhang Agen asked, "Who are you coming over this time?" ”

Chen Qi took a sip of the tea on the table and hurriedly said:

"The main thing is that I want you to help find a few masons, I want to renovate the house I rented in the city, tear down the wall along the street and want to open three storefronts, and I also need to build some furniture for opening a store, I don't have a way in the city, I want you to do me a favor."

Zhang Agen didn't know the bottom of his heart, but now when he heard that it was such a trivial matter, he patted his chest:

"This little meaning, I just haven't had farm work during this time, I'll find you a few of the best masons and carpenters in the village, simple, if you don't have a way, this wood and bricks are wrapped in me, and then they will be sent to you together, by the way, where do you live?"

Chen Qi was happy when he heard it:

"This is better, my family lives at No. 77 Lu Xun Road, opposite Zhou Shuren's former residence, by the way, my door is the Chunbo River, and the boat can drive directly to it. I pay 2 yuan a day for workers, and I count as a day for working for a day, as for how much is the building material, Uncle Agen, you will say a word when you arrive. ”

Zhang Agen waved his hand and said magnificently:

"You are demolishing the wall, the bricks don't use much, and the old bricks that are demolished can still be used. The main thing is wood, which we have in the mountains, and it is not worth much money, so I have some old materials at home, and I will supply you with it when the time comes. ”

The door panels of the shops in Echichu are made of wooden boards, which are removed by the clerk in the morning and installed again in the evening when the store is closed.

In addition, the tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and shelves used to open the store all need to be made of wood, so the amount of wood used is relatively large.

The project is not large, and it can be completed in a few days.

The salary of 2 yuan a day, food and housing are in the master's house, and this salary is already very high. In these years, the average salary of workers is less than 2 yuan a day, and it turns out that the stupid eldest sister only pays 5 cents a day to carry bricks.

Chen Qi looked at no one outside at this time, and said softly:

"Uncle Agen, I also want to buy some pheasant, duck and hare meat that we mountain people usually can't eat, as long as it is meat and cured goods, the price is easy to say."

Zhang Agen is such a smart person, he immediately guessed the intention, and asked with some concern:

"Chen Qi, do you want to sell it? That's a mistake, right? After all, your identity is different. ”

"It's okay, Uncle Agen, my teacher has a wide relationship in the city, and ordinary people don't dare to embarrass us, besides, our four sisters and brothers all live in the city, and the expenses are also large, so it's really a bit difficult to rely on me alone."

Of course, Chen Qi would not say that business is already allowed in the city, but it really doesn't work, and there is still a black market in Fushan to sell goods.

It's not that there are smart people, if the city can do business, and the mountain people buy and sell it themselves, then there is nothing for him.

As for the cost problem, it doesn't hurt to sell it appropriately and make others have a sense of superiority.

Sure enough, Zhang Agen nodded when he heard it:

"Since you have a way, then I'll go to the village and shout, there must be a lot of wax goods in every household this winter, and you can sell them to make money, you have done a great thing."

Liandong Village is also deep in the mountains, now there are a lot of all kinds of game in the mountains, and the people in the mountains have the habit of hunting, but the game that is caught cannot be eaten, so it will be salted and dried.

Or be more particular, buy soy sauce and make chicken sauce, duck sauce, rabbit meat, and the taste is more savvy.

The mountains are worthless, and the people in the city can't eat them.

Now Chen Qi is ready to do this "speculative businessman", firstly, he can help the stupid eldest sister pass the time, and secondly, he can also make a fortune.

Living in the city, you have to buy everything, and the cost of rice, oil, salt, sauce, tea and vinegar is indeed not small.

Chen Qi still has 3,000 yuan in his pocket, although it is also a huge amount of money, but it really has to be spent, and his eyes are gone in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Agen's movements were very fast, he called a few dogs, and gave a few orders, and naturally someone would go to the village to publicize.
