The cost of 1,000 catties of raw sunflower seeds is 430 yuan, and the frying process uses almost 50 catties of salt, about 5 catties of fennel and peppercorns, and 10 catties of cinnamon and licorice.

In addition, there are 10,000 kraft bags ordered, and there are two sizes. Although it will not be used up this time, it will also be included in the corresponding cost.

Stir-frying sunflower seeds also requires coal, which is about 200 catties, which is not much money.

In recent years, the price of coal has not risen much, more than a pound. Even if you pull a thousand catties, it's only ten yuan.

Therefore, just counting the cost of raw materials, it should be about 500 yuan.

In other words, the cost of a pound of fried melon seeds is about five cents.

Even if labor is added, the cost of a pound will not exceed six cents. And with the later volume, the cost will be further reduced.

However, the current situation is still unclear, and Wang Manyin plans to try to sell wholesale to small traders and hawkers first.

If you pay eight cents a pound, you can earn less, but it is better to be safe.

At this price, Wang Manyin believes that there are many traders who are willing to buy it. At present, these people either take the goods directly from the supply and marketing cooperatives, which involves the problem of melon seed tickets, which is more troublesome to toss.

Either buy raw sunflower seeds from the countryside and fry them, which is also time-consuming and laborious, and the supply of raw materials is also unstable, so it is better to buy ready-made ones directly.

In this way, the trader does not have to worry at all, and if he sells one catty, it will be at least two cents of profit.

If you count ten catties a day, you can earn two yuan.

After finishing his business, Wang Manyin went to the former Xixian High School to visit his sister-in-law Sun Lanxiang. The little girl went to high school last year, and she has been living in the school and only goes home once every two weeks.

After asking the other party about his study and life, Wang Manyin left ten yuan, and then rode away.

It was almost dark that he rushed back to Jar Village. In the cloth bag in front of the car, there are gifts for the family.

In the past ten years, Wang Manyin has always maintained the habit of bringing something to his family every time he goes out.

At this moment, a group of children are jumping rope on the side of the road at the entrance of the village.

When they heard the bicycle bell, they turned their heads to look.

Immediately, Xiao Xingzi excitedly shouted: "Dad, our dad is back!" ”

"Dad, bring us something delicious......

Wang Lei and the three quickly rushed to the front of the car, and the rest of the people were full of envy.

They all know that Wang Lei's family has opened a sales agency and lives a good life.

"I've bought some oil buns in the city and divided half of them for each of you." As he spoke, Wang Manyin opened one of the cloth bags and broke half a piece of oil bun for the broken babies one by one.

Since he met, he was not stingy, and it was more or less a thought.

At this moment, Orchid also heard movement outside. After going out, she stood on the edge of the field and watched her husband quietly.

Wang Manyin felt the gaze and turned his head to look over.

The two looked at each other and smiled, already understanding each other's intentions.

When he got home, there were no outsiders, and Wang Manyin took out other things. He bought a new plastic hairpin for Orchid, and a tumbler doll for each of his three children.

After chatting a few words, Orchid brought the prepared meal to the sidelines.

Cool shredded radish, fried pork slices with potatoes, corn white flour steamed buns, plus half a pot of mung bean porridge...... It's a family's dinner.

Now that he is letting go, his family's daily life does not need to be hidden, and the food grade is constantly improving, and he can get a little meat every once in a while.

Especially the three children, thunder can't beat an egg every day.

Because of the nutrition to keep up, they are much taller than their peers. Especially Wang Lei, who is just nine years old this year, has grown to 1.3 meters.

During the meal, the three of them still kept talking, and they had to quarrel from time to time.

In this regard, the two of them are already immune, but they don't hear it, and eat by themselves.

As soon as they put down the bowl, the three children ran away together.

Soon, there was a noise of chirping.

Children in this era are much happier than they were decades later, with very little homework and no need to suffer from various study classes and interest classes, so they spend most of their time playing after school.

Especially at night, they often forget to sleep and need adults to sneak home with their ears in their hands.

Orchid and Wang Manyin ignored the children, and after brushing the bowls, they wandered around the village to eat.

The moon was fine tonight, and a soft silver glow shrouded the entire Jar Village. Everywhere in the mountains, every green tree, is covered with a thin veil.

At this moment, the dining ground in front of the compound of the breeding room was already full of villagers.

Many people are holding big bowls and chatting while eating at the base of the wall, and the topics they talk about are even more varied. There are also two dead wind lamps on the grinding plate next to it, and many mothers-in-law and aunts are busy weaving corn husk braids.

More than a year ago, they definitely weren't so relaxed.

Since last year, everyone has felt that the situation is clearly changing.

First of all, there was a sudden decrease in the number of meetings, and the village no longer gathered people to learn to memorize texts. At the beginning, in order to memorize those articles as required, I don't know how much effort the members put into it.

Because many people are illiterate and have poor memory, it takes more than half a day to just say a few words. Only after reciting can you go home for dinner. Some of them can't memorize it all the time, and they will have to deduct work points.

In addition, the days of all kinds of bad actors are also starting to return to normal. Their children's schooling, job recruitment, etc. will not be affected.

Now Wang Mingqiang's family is even more upright, and they dare to come to the dinner to join in the fun.

Seeing Wang Manyin and the two, the people around them greeted each other.

"Man Yin is here, and I've been in the city again these days!?"

"Have you eaten, have you eaten more?"

……

"Full of silver, just in time. You are well-informed, tell you about the matter of the parcel of land to the household, and mention it on the radio every day, can we implement it here? At this time, Wang Dacai asked out loud.

The others stopped, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation.

After such a long time, Wang Manyin has become an authority in the eyes of everyone. Many things came out of his mouth, which was more reliable than that of the village cadres.

"Divide the land, what do you want to do. We had just gone to the commune for a meeting two days ago. It was emphasized that the autonomy of the production team should be respected, and that in the future, the team leader and the accountant would have the final say on the farming of the team, and neither the commune nor the village cadres could manage it...... What does this mean? There will be no division of land. Before Wang Manyin could speak, Wang Lianshun had already taken over the conversation.

In his heart, he didn't believe that he would divide the land into households.

"Uncle Lian Shun, you really guessed wrong this time. It is estimated that after we harvest the wheat here, the land will be divided...... When I went out this time, I heard that there were several production teams near Huangyuan City that had already divided the spring land! ”

Wang Manyin did not lie.

This matter caused a lot of noise, and when he went to Huangyuan City, he heard a lot of people talking about it.

"Really? Doesn't anyone care?! At this time, Wang Lianshun couldn't sit still at all.

"Now that many places outside are dividing land, how to manage it?"

"That's right, the newspapers no longer let Xuedazhai ......," someone affirmed.

***

Little Bie is newlywed.

The two haven't seen each other for a few days, so naturally they have to keep it warm.

After finishing the matter, hugging his mother-in-law, Wang Manyin told the story of what he had done in the past few days.

After hearing this, Orchid was startled.

Although she had been prepared in her heart, she still couldn't tell the panic when it came to the end: "Full silver, can you do it, what should I do if I really lose it?" ”

I can't help but worry about orchids: my husband will spend more than 500 yuan on a trip, and if he really loses money, it is equivalent to two people being busy for a year.

"The accounts are all calculated for you, how can you lose money. Besides, the hundreds of catties of fried melon seeds before, didn't we earn 100 yuan. Wang Manyin smiled and comforted.

The fried melon seeds sold at the consignment point a few years ago, the raw materials come from space, the cost is less than 20 yuan, and in fact, it earns more than 300 yuan.

"Then you can do it, it's a big deal to assume that our family hasn't made any money this year." Although Orchid was nervous, she didn't want to hold her husband back.

For her, her husband is the head of the family. The husband decides something good, and he just needs to support it.

Wang Manyin didn't plan to delay time, and after breakfast the next day, he borrowed a walk-behind tractor from the supply and marketing cooperative, and drove back to the county to transport raw sunflower seeds.

The second team has two walk-behind tractors, and if he opens his mouth to borrow them, he will definitely be fine, just pay some gas money.

But now the team is busy preparing for spring ploughing, and he is embarrassed to open his mouth. It is still the hand-held tractor of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is easy to use, and usually idle, except for pulling goods.

Wang Manyin came forward, and he didn't even need gas money, just a pack of cigarettes.

He drove the walk-behind tractor to the gate of the oil factory, and it didn't take much time to see Han Zhong's brother-in-law, Li Jianming.

The other party had already been instructed by his brother-in-law to take the person directly to the oil factory.

Wang Manyin thought that this kind of thing was somewhat on his back, but who knew that the walk-behind tractor drove all the way to the warehouse.

It only took half an hour before and after, and everything was done.

After Li Jianming counted the money, his face bloomed with joy.

Then, he called Wang Manyin to the corner, handed a cigarette and said, "Brother Wang, in the future, you will have this price at any time." ”

Of course, Li Jianming is very concerned: he earns 100 yuan in half an hour, which is more than his brother-in-law's salary in a month. The key is that the money comes too easily, and it changes hands.

Wang Manyin had the heart to make friends with the other party, took the cigarette and said: "Captain Li, we know each other, and we will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future." If you have time at noon, how about I invite you to a restaurant? ”

"Okay," Li Jianming agreed.

After a meal, the two have already called each other. Before leaving, Li Jianming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wang, don't say you want sunflower seeds, even sesame seeds and peanuts, as long as you open your mouth, I can get ......."

Regarding the boldness of the other party, Wang Manyin was a little speechless, but he could also understand.

After the opening is opened, it will be difficult for people to adapt for a while, and various loopholes will definitely appear.

Naturally, there will be many bold people who will find this and take advantage of the convenience around them to do things.

Deviated from this kind of person, he couldn't even buy the most basic raw materials.

Back at the oil mill, Wang Manyin quietly glanced at the secret mark he had left on the snakeskin bag. When he found that no one had done anything, he was relieved.

Finally drove a walk-behind tractor to the county seat, Wang Manyin did not rush back, but turned to the cement factory and paid for 20 bags of cement.

It doesn't take much effort to buy cement, because this thing is relatively loosely managed, and the cement plant can sell it at market prices if it exceeds the planned output.

When Wang Manyin pulled a cart full of things into the village, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

In the face of inquiry, he did not hide it, and said that he was going to build a water cellar on the side of the field, and he also planned to fry sunflower seeds for sale.

This move caused a lot of heated discussions in the village.

When Wang Manchu learned about it, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Manyin, your movement is getting bigger and bigger...... What if there is a recurrence after a while? ”

Like Wang Lianshun, he also didn't understand the situation.

Now the bazaars everywhere are open - what was not allowed to be sold before is constantly being put on the stalls. In the past, this was a big mistake.

Even the commune meeting two days ago stressed that it would not be allowed to interfere with the farming tasks of the production teams in the future.

Wang Manchu thought that it was just a temporary nonsense at the moment, and it would be corrected after a while. Wang Manyin did this, if the wind direction changed, there would definitely be trouble.

He couldn't bear to watch the other party fall on his head.

Helpless, Wang Manyin could only explain again.

***

In the next few days, Wang Manyin did not go to work in the production team again, but shifted all his attention to his own home.

It took him more than a day to dig a pit nearly three meters deep at the edge of the field, which was equally three meters long and wide. Subsequently, bricks and sand were bought and the pool was built.

In order to prevent leakage, Wang Manyin also spread two layers of plastic sheeting inside.

Knowing that his son-in-law was building a water cellar, Sun Yuhou came over to help. In just a few days, a new and sturdy water cellar was built.

The cellar is divided into two parts, separated by a fence, with the smaller tank used as a sedimentation tank.

After the cellar was filled with water, Wang Manyin planned to raise a few loaches in it to keep the water clean. With them, at least they don't breed small bugs.

In the next step, he is also preparing to drill a pressurized water well to completely solve the problem of water supply for his own family.

After the construction of the water cellar was completed, Wang Manyin built two more pots and stoves in his idle cave. After pulling back a cart of coal from Mijia Town, he officially began to make fried melon seeds......

He was busy here, which made many members of the second team unbearable, and they couldn't help but start muttering.

Helpless, Wang Lianshun had no choice but to come to the door again.

After chatting a few words of gossip, he got to the point: "Man Yin, what are you going to do, aren't you really going to go to the team to earn work...... Do you know that many people have reported it? ”

"Let them reflect! Uncle Lian Shun, I already told you last time that I have been busy with my own affairs for a while and have no time to earn work. ”

"You...... Are you really so sure that the wheat will be harvested and delivered to the households? ”

"Uncle Lian Shun, believe it or not, you can wait a while and see."

Wang Manyin responded loudly.

The reason why he dared to be so sure was because of a report in the newspapers the other day...... Runye's second father, Tian Fujun, was officially appointed as the commissioner of the District Administrative Office.

Tian Fujun advocated the division of the field to stand aside, and now he is back, which means that the curtain has been completely opened.

With strong support, Wang Manyin is naturally reluctant to earn work.

"Anyway, I have persuaded you, be careful yourself, don't wait for the people from the commune to come to the door......"

Wang Lianshun knew that the other party had an idea, and after saying a few more words, he left in a huff.

In this regard, Wang Manyin did not care.

He knows that no matter how much he says now, he will be idle, and the next development will verify everything.

It took him almost four days to fry all the thousands of pounds of sunflower seeds. The spiced melon seeds were filled with more than ten snakeskin bags, and the whole cave exuded a strong fragrance.
