Chapter 7: A Proper Dimensionality Reduction Strike
Song Haowen's house has three halls, in front of the door of the hall is a small drying field of thirty or fifty square meters, two kitchens are built in front of the left side of the hall, and three pig houses are located in the left rear of the hall. Pigs are raised on both sides of the barn, and in the middle is the urinal, and a blue cloth is made into the urinal curtain.
All the buildings of Song Haowen's house are mud walls and thatched roofs. Because the hall house was built for a long time (the wedding room of Song Haowen's parents), the wind and rain were blowing, the earthen wall was obviously deformed, the lower part was exaggeratedly wide, and the house was more than 20 centimeters shorter than when it was first built, which looked low and old.
Reborn and returned to his former hometown, Song Haowen felt very sad, in his previous life, he only cared about himself and rarely took care of his family, and his family basically did not touch his own light. He vowed to make a difference in his life and make everyone in his family happy and happy.
At present, the family has a large population and few rooms, so everyone can only sleep in shared beds. Mom and Dad sleep in the east room of the hall, the second sister and the younger sister sleep in the west room of the hall house, Song Haowen and the fourth child sleep in the kitchen, if the eldest comes back, he will be crowded together with the two younger brothers.
The fourth child talked to Song Haowen for a while and fell asleep. Although Song Haowen drank wine, he didn't feel sleepy, looking at the constantly beating kerosene lamp, his mind was full of thoughts.
In 1979, the domestic market economy was budding, and the opportunities for making money began to increase, but many people's thinking was still very rigid, and some economic policies were still half-covering their faces, selling and selling, and setting up stalls, and they were very easily charged with speculation and punished by the administrative organs. And the lottery that may get rich overnight, the earliest welfare two-color ball, had to wait until 1987; The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, which have soared and plummeted, will not be until 1990, ten years later; As for the real estate that creates the myth of wealth, it will not be until after the new millennium.
Moreover, in 1979, there was no such thing as a 10,000-yuan household. If you have money, you have to hide it, and you can't show it, unlike before the rebirth, when you dare to call it a million if you have 10,000 yuan, you dare to call it the richest man.
Song Haowen calculated in his heart that using the experience of his previous life to earn the first pot of gold and solve the urgent need was his top priority; can prevent the second sister from interacting with Zheng Yishui, this matter should not be taken lightly, it is related to the happiness of the second sister in the future. He thought about his mind and fell asleep unconsciously.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Song Haowen got up. The family is used to waking up early.
Before he was in high school, every day before breakfast, Song Haowen first went to the riverside field to pick a basket of pig vegetables. Dad deals with the self-reserved land, Mom tidies up the housework and feeds the pigs, chickens and ducks, the second sister cooks barley porridge, and the fourth brother cleans the front and back of the house, only the younger sister has nothing to do, shaking her arms everywhere, looking east and west, occasionally criticizing, like an inspector.
Song Haowen picked up the basket, took the small shovel, and was walking to the back of the house, when the second sister chased him to the edge of the field and pulled his sleeve. "Third child, are you familiar with Zheng Yishui?"
Song Haowen smiled. "How can you not be familiar? Everyone's a brigade. He's two years older than me, and he's a classmate of you. ”
"What do you think of him?" The second sister stared at him and asked.
If it was a previous life, before the second sister got married, Song Haowen really didn't know much because he had little contact with Zheng Yishui. Now that I have the experience of my previous life, I naturally know how to answer.
"Not very good. Bad character, a scumbag, not suitable for the second sister. ”
"Oh? Do you think so too? How do you know he's bad. The second sister was a little surprised.
Song Haowen couldn't say that he knew it from his previous life, so he had to make up a sentence: "A classmate told me." said that he was very attentive, greedy for gambling, and bullied others. ”
When the second sister heard this, she pondered for a moment, and seemed to have firm up her thoughts.
"It's all wishful thinking on the part of my parents. I don't like him at all. ”
Song Haowen was relieved and comforted: "Such scum can't be touched." There are a lot of good men, so look for them slowly. ”
When the second sister heard this, her beautiful face suddenly flew into a red glow, and she said, "What are you talking about?" Looks like I'm in a hurry to find a man? I won't tell you about it. After saying that, he shook his long braids and turned his head away.
Song Haowen smiled bitterly, no longer bothered about the second sister's affairs, and observed and pondered while carefully picking vegetables.
Suddenly, with a "flutter", a pheasant flew into the distance from three or five meters in front of Song Haowen. There are several aliases for this pheasant, the earliest of which was pheasant. Looking at its colorful feathers and strong physique, Song Haowen could conclude that it was a male pheasant.
In the past, pheasants were national second-class protected animals, and could not be hunted casually, but now on March 1, 1989, the country officially implemented the "Wildlife Protection Law", there are still about ten years to go, at present, hunting pheasants and other wild animals is not illegal, and there are even hunters who are professionally engaged in hunting in rural areas.
Thinking of this, Song Haowen's heart suddenly shook, and a huge business opportunity instantly appeared in front of him.
That's right, my first pot of gold landed on this wild animal.
Their Song family brigade has a dense water network, ditches and ditches, and reeds can be seen everywhere. If there is anything else, there may not be any other wildlife, but wild animals are everywhere. Like pheasants, hares, weasels, and even hundreds of tooth deer, which are covered in treasures.
In a previous life, as a student who had just graduated from high school, it was extremely difficult to catch such agile animals as pheasants and hares without the help of shotguns, bows and crossbows, and only with slingshot sticks. Although these game meats are quite valuable, several times more expensive than pork with seven cents per catty, and extremely tasty, because they are so difficult to catch, few farmers are willing to devote time to hunting.
In addition, there is the issue of sales. Even if the peasants have some game in their hands, it is not easy for them to go to the small streets of the commune three or four kilometers away to sell them, not to mention that it is difficult to ask for leave, even if they go, they may not be able to sell it, after all, the residents of the small streets do not eat much imperial grain, their wages are generally low, and their purchasing power is extremely limited. If you want to sell it and have a good price, you can at least get the county seat, and if the amount is large, you can get the city and the provincial capital.
However, these difficulties are a piece of cake for Song Haowen, who has experience in his previous life. Even if he was a rookie in business in his previous life, he didn't know how many miles better than the current people, and it was not an order of magnitude at all. Doing business in this era, to put it in fashion, he is a proper dimensionality reduction blow.
What is even more worthy of boasting is that in his previous life, Song Haowen practiced the kung fu of playing stone and hidden weapons, although it is not like the magic of the fingers that was blown out of the gods in "Shooting the Condor", nor is it as bullet as Zhang Qing in "Water Margin", but within twenty or thirty meters, it is more than enough to deal with birds and beasts.
Therefore, in the interval between picking pigweed, Song Haowen used stones to catch a hare and two pheasants alive. When he got home, he killed one of the most injured pheasants for cooking, raised the hare and the other pheasant, and sold them for money when there was another harvest.
After breakfast, after his parents and second sister went to work in the production team, Song Haowen asked the fourth brother to accompany his younger sister at home, and he carried the basket alone and set off again. However, this time he no longer picks pig dishes, but is single-mindedly looking for prey.
In one morning, Song Haowen caught five pheasants and three hares. In the afternoon, he continued his efforts and harvested six pheasants and five hares.
Song Haowen's one-day harvest stunned his family, even if he was a professional hunter, he was far from being able to achieve such results.
When you have a product, you have to think about selling.
Song Haowen knew that not to mention that these wild meat could not be sold in Zhaosheng Commune, and even the county town did not have much market. Linshan County is a big cross street, the length of the east, west, north and south is only one kilometer, the population is about 10,000 people, the highest building is located at the intersection of the department store, a total of four floors. Some people say that this department store is too high, and when you climb to the fourth floor, your legs tremble. Some people also said that the red flag of the production team was raised by the whole team; The red flag raised in the county government square was seen by people in the whole county.
It is about 20 kilometers from Song Haowen's house to the county seat, and about 30 kilometers to Hubin City, although it is 10 kilometers more to Hubin City than to go to the county seat, but Hubin City has a population of nearly 200,000, which is relatively prosperous, and the market is many times larger than the county seat.
Therefore, Song Haowen made up his mind that if he wanted to sell wild meat, he would sell it in the market. Song Haowen told his parents his thoughts, and they didn't have any opinions, so they gave him two yuan for the travel expenses, and as for whether they could make a deal, they went with him.
The next day, Song Haowen got up early in the morning, and before dawn, he bundled ten pheasants and eight hares in two sacks and carried them out with a flat pole. A pheasant and a hare, one each at home.
Song Haowen arrived at the commune station and spent seven cents to buy a bus ticket to Hubin City. After an hour of stop-and-go, it was only eight o'clock in the morning at the Lakeside City bus station. It's not too late to get to the farmer's market.
The urban area of Hubin City mainly develops along the east-west direction, and the four-lane main street is named Jiefang Road, which is divided into Jiefang East Road and Jiefang West Road. The farmer's market is located at the end of Jiefang West Road, where there is a wide north-south canal and steamship dock, and the largest farmer's market in the city is on the side of the steamship terminal.
Song Haowen didn't know whether the chengguan here would catch the mobile vendors, so he first took a hare and pheasant from each of the two sacks, and squatted on the edge of the market five steps away from the sack to try to set up a stall.
Coincidentally, as soon as Song Haowen put things away, a middle-aged man came over to ask the price, and heard that the chickens and rabbits were two yuan a catty, and he didn't bargain much, so he bought them all. Three catties of pheasants and twelve catties of hares, he got thirty yuan at once. This was not a small amount of money at the time, and many people did not have that much a monthly salary.
At this time, more than a dozen customers were gathered at once, all asking if there was any goods.
Song Haowen took out two more chickens and rabbits, and soon sold them again.
An hour later, the ten pheasants and eight hares were sold out. Several customers who didn't buy it also made oral reservations with Song Haowen.
After leaving the market, Song Haowen walked to a deserted alley, counted today's harvest, and found that he had received a total of three hundred and fifty-two yuan and three points, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He took out the tortillas he had brought from home from the military canvas satchel given to him by his eldest brother, and ate dry rations with the canal water. At this time, the river water has not been polluted, it is crystal clear, and the entrance is slightly sweet, no worse than the ice springs and mountain springs in the previous life.
