I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get up the next morning, so I stewed all the duck meat the night before, and the next morning I ate duck meat with big rice porridge and enjoyed it very much.

Purr snorr~

Wang Yuan sat cross-legged on the kang, turned the bowl around and drank a big mouthful of rice porridge, and ate a piece of soy sauce-colored duck meat.

The duck meat is stained with red crushed chili skin, which is really spicy.

"It's so spicy, but the more I eat it, the more I want to eat it."

"It's not spicy or fragrant, the peppers I planted last year are almost finished, so let's press a few more this year." Li Yan was much quieter when she ate, drinking porridge in small sips and occasionally brushing the broken hair around her ears with her fingers.

"Okay, just press the piece of land south of the chicken farm, you can't eat it if you plant seven or eight peppers, and then plant some fruits in that field, the strawberries and melons planted last year are good, and this year I will plant some too."

"Plant melon seeds, it's not sunflowers~" Li Ping interjected: "When the time comes, a large yellow flower will bloom, and it will be beautiful to turn around the sun."

"Huh? Xiaoping's idea is good, when the time comes, I can eat fresh melon seeds on the whole day, I always feel that fresh melon seeds have a special tender fragrance, and there are no fresh melon seeds sold on the big set. ”

A meal is spent in a relaxed small talk.

After eating, Wang Yuan picked up water to boil water, Li Yan washed clothes, and Li Ping helped clean and dry quilts.

A week went by in a flash.

In the past few days, Wang Yuan drove a tractor to take Li Yan and Li Ping into the mountain once, and cut a lot of wood and came back - no tree heads and roots, only the beautiful body in the middle.

I can cut a lot at a time, and when I come back, I dry the wet ones, dry them, and crack them into wood and pile them up.

One morning he took the dog into the mountains, but only caught a few pheasants, and when he came back, he stewed them, and gave the pheasant feathers to Wang Lu, the cousin of the second uncle's family, and the little girl planned to make shuttlecocks.

On this morning, Wang Yuan yawned repeatedly, and was about to sleep after breakfast, when suddenly a cold wind blew outside, and the rain of beans crackled from the sky.

Originally, there was still some dust in the yard, but as soon as the rain fell, the dust in the air disappeared instantly, and there was a refreshing feeling in the air.

The rain wet the wooden board, the thatched building, and the little girl chasing the dog.

"Xiaoyuan, come out quickly, collect your clothes!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Sister, the basket, the shovel, and the rake must be put away, right?"

"Collect and collect...... and put them all in the shed...... You stupid dogs are making a mess and stepping on your paws. ”

Li Yan hurriedly ran to the house with her clothes, she couldn't finish holding her clothes for a while, the clothes were torn off too quickly, and the section of rice pole used as a clamp was directly split in half.

The joys and sorrows of mankind are indeed not the same.

Li Yan and Li Ping were in a hurry, and the little girl was very happy, running around in the courtyard with fresh air, reaching out to catch the rain for a while, looking up at the sky for a while, chasing the dog and wanting to ride the dog for a while.

"Three days without a house tile!?"

Wang Yuan put the last few pieces of clothes into the house, came out and grabbed the little girl and snapped~ directly slapped her ass and balls.

The little girl who beat her cried.

The few dogs who were fighting with the little girl were smart, and when they saw the little girl being beaten, they hurriedly went back to the kennel, and they were afraid that Wang Yuan would also beat them.

I took the little girl back to the house, and the yard was empty, and it was raining heavily.

Cracking sound~

Thundered~

After the thunder sounded, a flash of lightning swept across the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon a stream formed in the courtyard.

The meandering stream flows slowly to the outside of the yard, and a 10-centimeter-long section of rice stalks that have been split in half flows like a boat to the outside of the yard.

"It's raining so hard, but luckily I'm running so fast that my clothes are soaking wet." Wang Yuan dusted off his clothes, lit a cigarette and smoked.

When I came to the back room, I saw the big white cat sleeping on the pillow next to the kang head, holding the rubber ball she liked in her arms, and sleeping with her little paws so beautiful.

"Hey~ You sleep fragrantly, why don't you enjoy it like this?"

Wang Yuan's swishing was that he couldn't get used to the appearance of the big white cat, and he quickly woke up the big white cat when he climbed on the kang, and the angry big white cat meowed.

At this time, Li Yan and Li Ping hung their clothes in the hall and carried a large dustpan of peanuts into the back room:

"It's like bullying big white cats and children who don't grow up every day, come, let's peel peanuts together."

"Peel so many peanuts Gaha?"

"In addition to eating ourselves, don't we have to squeeze oil and keep seeds?"

"That's just as well."

In the eyes of diligent people, it is all work, turning on the TV and watching TV, Li Yan, Li Ping and Wang Yuan sat on the kang and peeled peanuts.

The little girl lay on the kang and played with the big white cat, very carefully touching the fat big white cat, and the big white cat snored comfortably.

But after half an hour, the white cat didn't want to play with her, so Gu Yong went to lie on Li Yan's lap.

Li Yan didn't think it was sinking, and continued to peel peanuts after petting two handfuls of big white cats, Kakaka ~ peanut beans were put into the dustpan, and the peanut shells were thrown to the ground.

After a while, Wang Yuan was really sleepy, not only the sound on the TV was like a lullaby, but the sound of rain outside the window was also hypnotic.

"This kind of weather is suitable for sleeping, I'm really sleepy, so I'll sleep for a while." Wang Yuan dragged a pillow and lay on the kang and quickly fell asleep.

Kakaka~

Li Yan turned down the sound of the TV, and all that sounded in the room was the sound of peeling peanuts.

"Alas~ Xiaoping pulled the padded jacket behind you and put it on your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is so lazy that he will never work."

"Alas, what are the big white cats going to do?"

Under the gaze of Li Yan and Li Ping, the big white cat walked directly to Wang Yuan's chest and lay down.

……

Wang Yuan didn't know how long he had been asleep, he was woken up by his wife Li Yan.

"Xiaoyuan, wake up, Brother Zhuzi is here."

"Ah, ahhhhhhhh Wang Yuan yawned and got up from the kang, rubbed his eyes, and saw the pillar wearing a poncho made of fertilizer bags entering the door, and the voice of the pillar came:

"It's raining so hard, is Xiaoyuan at home? Just woke up? ”

"I slept for a while when I had nothing to do, and it was raining heavily outside, huh?"

"yes, it's not okay to use a fertilizer bag to make a poncho, look at my trouser legs are wet...... When I passed by the door of Uncle Man's house, I slipped for a while, and I almost fell on the ground to see my muddy hands. ”

Wang Yuan rubbed his face to sober himself up, invited the pillar to sit down, and handed the other party a cigarette, Li Yan went to the hall to make a pot of tea and came back.

After a few small talks, the pillar explained his intentions.

"Yang Hua and I plan to partner with the entire canning factory, you know this, but the machinery and equipment of the canning factory can't be completed, I know that you have a big ability, is there a way to get the equipment for producing canned food?"

"What's that?"

Just woke up Wang Yuan was still a little confused, and his hair was messy like a chicken nest.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette and refreshing himself, he said:

"Yang Hua was in charge of the equipment before, right? Last time I was chattering at your house, you seem to have said so. ”

"That's right, who knows that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the equipment that Yang Hua fancied was bought by the boss over there in Daqing, isn't this blind?

The deposit was given and now the deposit is returned...... Listening to Yang Hua, it was the boss over there in Daqing who gave a higher price. ”

The pillar sighed again and again, his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", and the whole person was lacking in energy:

"Everything else is ready, but it turns out that it is not good to come out of the teacher in such a file...... Xiaoyuan, I know that you have a lot of connections, you must help, it's really my brother begging you. ”

"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry, as long as I can help, I will definitely help...... I just hadn't touched that before. ”

Just when Wang Yuan was thinking about who to ask, a voice sounded outside the courtyard again, it was Yang Hua who came wearing a fertilizer bag.

Yang Hua was actually not very willing to beg Wang Yuan, the last time he chatted at Zhuzi's house, he was still angry about Wang Yuan's words.

But now I did encounter difficulties, so I had to bow my head.

However, Yang Hua also said his thoughts: "Wang Yuan, I really want to ask you this time...... However, it is better to buy brand new equipment directly from abroad, and since we want to do it, we will do it well.

Most of the domestic equipment is second-hand, even three-handed and four-handed, how long it can be used and when it will break, this is not necessarily. ”

Wang Yuan glanced at Yang Hua strangely: "Can you handle foreign exchange?"

"What? Foreign exchange? ”

"Yes, foreign countries do not circulate RMB, and foreign countries are willing to sell equipment to us, provided that people want foreign exchange, US dollars, pounds, and even Japanese yen."

"Uh-huh...... Foreigners can spend RMB in our country, buy things with RMB and ship them out. After Yang Hua finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yuan with a blank eye.

The air was suddenly quiet.

Wang Yuan looked at Yang Hua with a loving look, and looked at the latter for more than ten seconds, and suddenly Wang Yuan thought of Li Hang who was abroad.

"I have a friend who is abroad, so I asked him if he would like to help."

"Okay, okay, no matter whether it can be done or not, we have to thank you Wang Yuan." Seeing that Yang Hua was a little unhappy, Zhu Zi pulled the other party's sleeve and said to Wang Yuan with a smile.

Yang Hua felt that his proposal was good just now, but he forgot that there were too few foreigners who were willing to cooperate.

Foreigners, like Chinese people, have their own areas that they are good at, and let the other party buy Chinese things and sell them abroad - whether they can make money or not is really not certain.

Although there were many opportunities to make money in the 90s, there were also many pitfalls, and there were many people who lost their families and lost their fortunes.

At noon that day, the three of them had a meal at Wang Yuan's house, chatting while eating, drinking, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuan wrote a letter to Li Hang, rode a motorcycle to the post office in the city, and sent the letter before returning.

In the following days, Zhu Zi and Yang Hua were like ants on a hot pot, and they came to ask Wang Yuan almost every day if he had received a reply from Li Hang.

Finally, one day in early April 1990, Wang Yuan received a letter from Li Hang.

The sun was shining near noon, and Li Yan was rolling out the dough with a large rolling pin, ready to make noodles to eat later.

"It can be regarded as receiving Li Hang's letter, if we can't accept it anymore, then the threshold of our family will be trampled by the pillar and Yang Hua...... Xiaoping, help me bring some wooden halberds in. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Li Ping stopped teasing the dog, and felt like she was holding the wood with her long legs.

"I'll see what is written in Li Hang's letter."

Wang Yuan stood in the courtyard, teasing the dog with his feet while opening the letter and looking at it, the light reflected by the sunlight on the white letter paper was a little dazzling.

The stationery abroad is different from that at home, and there is a kind of picture of windmills and flowers on the edge.

In addition to the polite greetings, Li Hang also said that his mother was still in China, so he could give his mother RMB, and he would buy the equipment back with foreign currency out of his own pocket.

In later generations, most of the fruit canning factories had pre-cooking machines, peeling machines, empty can washing machines, sugar pots, sealing machines, can wiping machines, inkjet printers, conveyor belts, labeling machines, storage pots and so on.

The canneries of this era are much simpler, and many processes can be replaced by manual work, and even then all the equipment will cost 60,000 yuan.

Of course, this includes Li Hang's profits, and Li Hang also wants to make money, as for how much Wang Yuan earns, it is unknown.

And Li Hang asked to pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan in advance, and if Yang Hua and Zhu broke the contract, the deposit would not be refunded.

There is another interesting sentence in the letter:

"If Wang Yuan wants to open a canning factory by yourself, then I will definitely not ask you for a deposit, I can trust you.

But now it's someone else who wants to buy it, so it's better to be safe, otherwise the people who buy the equipment don't want it when the equipment is shipped to China, then I'll be miserable. ”

At this time, Li Yan couldn't bear the fire of gossip in her heart, and also came to Wang Yuan's side to read the content on the letterhead:

"What did Li Hang say in the letter? Can he help?"

"I can help, the total price is 60,000 yuan, pay 20,000 yuan first."

"Oh, is 60,000 yuan too much or too little?" Li Yan suddenly asked Wang Yuan, he didn't understand the market price of a complete set of equipment for a small cannery.

"Forget it, I'm just a matchmaker, just tell Zhuzi and Yang Hua about this price, whether you want to buy it or not, they decide for themselves...... I don't earn a penny from them, and it's enough to help with this part of the book. ”

"Not only is it not profitable, but our family is also putting money inside." Li Yan pouted: "It's expensive to send letters abroad, isn't this money?"

"Haha, don't care about this little money, okay, I'll go tell the pillar them."

Wang Yuan opened the fence gate and walked out, and three dogs jumped up and down to follow him, occasionally sprinkling a little water on the bottom of the telephone pole, or scaring other dogs in the same village.

Living in the countryside, the three dogs are indeed very happy.

When he came to Zhuzi's house, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law happened to stew the hare meat, and the aroma was wafting, and Wang Yuan's saliva accelerated in an instant.

"Brother Zhuzi, a friend from abroad has sent a letter, and he can get a full set of equipment for a small cannery."

"Okay, come in and ......" Zhu Zi was very happy and ran to open the door for Wang Yuan: "It just so happens that your sister-in-law has stewed rabbit meat, let's eat it here at noon, let's drink a little together."

After entering the house, Wang Yuan told the pillar a total of 60,000 yuan and the price of 20,000 yuan first, and the pillar frowned instantly.

It seems that this price exceeded their expectations.

"That's it, Xiaoyuan, you sit down for a while, let's have dinner immediately, I'll call Yang Hua, he is a major shareholder and he needs him to get ideas."

The pillar patted Wang Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't go, you must stay and eat rabbit meat today, the hare meat thief is fragrant."

"Okay, I'm not leaving."

The pillar trotted all the way out of the house, and soon pulled Yang Hua over, the fragrant rabbit meat was served on the table, the wine was full, and the three of them sat next to the kang table and chatted while eating.

The meat of the wild rabbit is really fragrant, Wang Yuan eats the rabbit meat leisurely, drinks the wine, and the sun shines on his face through the window and enjoys it very warmly.

Compared with his ease, the pressure on Zhu and Yang Hua is much greater.

Especially Yang Hua, who was a little absent-minded when he chatted, and his frowning brows never let go.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Hua snapped~ put down the white wine glass and muttered: "Wang Yuan, let me tell you the truth, it's really a bit expensive to cost 60,000 yuan for a full set of equipment."

Wang Yuan spit out the rabbit bones, and there was already a small pile of bones on the table in front of him:

"You and Brother Zhuzi can just take the idea of this, the price is not set by me, if you think you can buy it, if you think the price is too expensive, don't buy it...... To be honest, I'm a matchmaker, and I can't decide anything. ”

"Buy, buy, buy, buy......" The pillar suddenly said: "The price is not too expensive, just buy it, I've been worried about the equipment for so long."

Besides, Wang Yuan helped to ask foreign friends, communication is so troublesome, and the other party's price is not too expensive, so it is not appropriate not to buy it. ”

Yang Hua was still entangled, and Wang Yuan waved his hand again and again to retort:

"Brother Zhuzi, don't think it's inappropriate not to buy it. You don't have to take me into account, just think about the price...... If you think it's expensive, don't buy it, and if you think the price is okay, buy it.

To be honest, if you really think it's expensive, then I don't recommend you buy it, and it's okay to refuse. ”

In the end, Yang Hua didn't make up his mind, and only said that he would think about it.

Wang Yuan didn't urge him, and he went home after eating a meal of rabbit meat.

Two days later, in the morning, Yang Hua and Zhu Zi found Wang Yuan's house, and they were willing to buy equipment through Li Hang.

Without delay, the three of them rode a motorcycle to the city, found Li Hang's mother and signed a contract, and handed over a deposit of 20,000 yuan.

Li Hang's mother would write a letter to Li Hang to deliver the goods, but Wang Yuan didn't have to bother writing letters anymore.

Seeing that it was about to be noon, Li Hang's mother invited the three of them to a meal, and said during the meal:

"It takes a lot of time to transport it by sea, so don't worry, in addition, the machinery and equipment will be unloaded at Yingkou Port in Liaoning, and as for transporting it from Yingkou to Lindu - then you have to figure it out by yourself."

In an instant, Yang Hua and the pillar were two big, and they even had a feeling of being pitted, they knew about Yingkou, but they hadn't been there at all, how could they bring it back when the time came?
