Yin Yuan handed over the notice to the school issued by Chief Qi to his father, telling him that the retirement had been completed, and his father would not have to go to work after the New Year.

"Great, then our whole family can go to live in Jiangming together." Hongmei said excitedly.

Everyone is happy, and Mom doesn't have to worry about Dad being alone at home and no one to take care of her.

The next day, my father handed over the notice to Principal Li.

"I won't be coming to class after the New Year, in that case, will it delay the school's teaching?"

Because he knows that the school teacher is a pit and a pit, and if there is one less teacher, no one will make up for it in time, and it will delay teaching.

Principal Li said with a smile, "It's still an old teacher like Lao Yin, who has been working for more than ten years, and he will remember the school when he retires. However, you don't have to worry, if you retire, one less teacher will definitely be added in time. Many people in the village who have high Chinese qualifications and can't go to Guangdong to work, ask them to come as substitute teachers, and they will be willing."

Yin Benfan picked up all his personal belongings and took them home.

Zhou Yafei said to a few young people, "Since the whole family goes to Jiangming after the Chinese New Year, it is not good to bring these chickens and ducks raised at home to Jiangming. It's not good to raise chickens and ducks in the villa over there..."

The Red Soldier said, "Then eat them during this time and slaughter one a day." The soft-shelled turtle stewed rooster I ate that day tasted very sweet and sweet, and it was sold there, so I could buy a few more and come back."

My mother said, "I heard that there are people in Xiashan Township who specialize in raising soft-shelled turtles, and there are also people who raise snakes."

The red soldier said excitedly to Yin Yuan, "Brother, either we will drive to Xiashan Township and buy a few soft-shelled turtles and a few mud snakes to come back, we haven't eaten chicken soup with snake meat yet."

Yin Yuan said, "Go and go."

Wanting and Yizhen also said they wanted to go.

My mother said, "I heard that it is in Xinpi Village, across the river from Xiashan Township, where there is no bridge, so you can only take a ferry. Tingting better not to go to ......."

Wanting had no choice but to give up.

The red soldier said, "Let's drive this van, the road is dusty and muddy, and the car should be parked on this side of Xiashan Town, no one will look at the car, and the good car will be scratched for fear that someone will scratch it."

Yin Yuan said, "It doesn't matter which car you drive."

The red soldiers drove and the three of them went to Xiashan Town.

After more than half an hour, I arrived at the town ferry and parked the car on a wasteland.

Go ask the locals.

"Uncle, I heard that there are people who breed soft-shelled turtles and snakes here, where are they from?"

The locals told them, "You take the ferry, there are passenger motorbikes and tricycles on the pier opposite, and you can take their car, which they are very familiar with, and it is only five yuan."

Yin Yuan and the three of them took a ferry to the opposite side.

One of the passengers asked, "We heard that some people in Xinpi Village raise snakes and soft-shelled turtles, is it true?"

The rider said, "It's true, I'm Xinpi Village, I'll take you there. Do you want to buy soft-shelled turtles and mud snakes? I've dragged a few guests in the past few days."

Yin Yuan asked him how much it would cost to go buy good goods and then come back here.

He said that he would ask for twenty yuan, mainly because you don't leave right away, and maybe it will take half a day to buy things.

Hongbing said it's expensive, can it be less, just now the local said that Xinpi Village is only five yuan, you drive to twenty yuan, you are too dark, bullying us I don't know the market, right?

The hitchhiker said that the problem is that I have to wait for you to buy things, and I don't know how long I have to wait.

Yin Yuan said, "Forget it, you don't have to negotiate with him, the three of us can't sit on a motorcycle, we still ask for the tricycle."

The Red Soldier went to ask the tricycle next to him.

The driver of the tricycle was a simple-looking young man, and he said that the starting price of my tricycle was 20 yuan a trip, and it was 40 yuan for a round trip.

The Red Soldier said that we would go back as soon as we bought something, and it wouldn't take long.

"Pay you five bucks more, and we'll get us back here later."

The tricycle agreed.

The motorcyclist who started to bargain was not happy, and he said, "Ge Ao, you'd better not rob us of the guests of Xinpi Village!"

The tricycle was unconvinced and said, "What do you call Xinpi Village? Who is not allowed to go to Xinpi Village to solicit customers? How old are you......

He beckoned Yin Yuan and the three of them to get on the tricycle.

The motorcycle boy is still talking cruel words, saying that he wants to repair the tricycle.

The red soldier also kindly reminded: "That motorcyclist said that you robbed him of his business and wanted to clean you up."

The tricycle boy said dismissively, "I'm going to be afraid of him? If I can't go to Xinpi Village, he won't pass through our Ge'ao Village in the future."

The Red Soldier praised him for his better mind than those motorcyclists, and knew how to buy a tricycle to solicit customers.

"Your tricycle can both solicit customers and goods, and it must make more money than those motorcyclists."

The tricycle boy proudly said, "I have a tricycle on top of their two motorcycles, and the cost is twice as expensive as theirs, so I must earn more than them."

He chatted with the Red Soldier as he drove away.

"I am from Renfeng Tungsten Mine, and now the unit has issued a notice, and I will go to work in the mine again after the New Year. But even if I go to work in the mine, my tricycle is still useful, and when I go to the mine, I can also go to the mine and ask for customers when I'm not working, and make some extra money."

Renfeng Mine is the largest tungsten mine in Yuyang, with more than 5,000 employees, which is larger than Qishan Mine.

From Yuyang County to Renfeng Mine, you have to pass through Qishan Mine.

There are ten well-known tungsten mines in this area, and Renfeng tungsten mine and Qishan tungsten mine are the top mines.

They all suffered the same severe cold test, and the workers' wages could not be paid, so they had to mobilize all employees to leave their jobs without pay, and after relieving their breath, they asked the workers to return to work in the mine.

Yin Yuan said that I was a mining technician at the Qishan tungsten mine, but I had quit my job now and was bent on working in Guangdong.

The tricycle boy said, "You are a technician, educated, diplomated, you can find a job at will. I am an underground worker, with no diploma, no skills, and only one strength, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find a job when I go to Guangdong. So I'll honestly go back to work at Renfeng Mine."

In the meantime, they passed through the village of Ge'ao.

The tricycle boy asked them, "Do you go to buy mud snakes or soft-shelled turtles first?"

Duan Yuan said, "You are more familiar, you can buy anything first."

"Then let's go buy soft-shelled turtles first, and then turn around to the dam group to find a snake factory."

He drove his tricycle to the head of the dam and found a place at the foot of the hill, outside the wall.

He stopped the tricycle and said to Yin Yuan and the others, "I'll go and say hello first, otherwise there are a few wolf dogs in his courtyard that are very powerful, and if they suddenly walk in, the wolf dogs will bite."

Yin Yuan saw a few words sprayed outside the wall: There are wolf dogs in the courtyard, please do not trespass.

The tricycle boy shouted inside, "Boss, a customer has come to buy soft-shelled turtle from you, do you still have any goods?"

A young woman inside replied, "Wait a few minutes, I'll leash the dog before I open the door."

A few minutes later, a woman in her early twenties opened the iron door.

Yin Yuan exclaimed, "Are you the boss? Oh, so young?"

The woman said, "My dad is the boss, and he's catching soft-shelled turtles in the pond."

She took Yin Yuan and a few people to a soft-shelled turtle pond.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat with boots catching soft-shelled turtles in the pool.

The lotus root has been raised in the pool, and the residual flowers and lotus leaves emit a corrosive smell.

The middle-aged boss smiled and asked, "Boss, how big do you want to be?" More than three catties are more than two years old, and today I caught five."

Yin Yuan asked him how much a pound it was.

He replied, "Now it's all 80 yuan a pound."

The red soldier asked his brother in a low voice, "How much did you pay for those two soft-shelled turtles in the school yesterday?"

Yin Yuan said, "Principal Li sold it to me at 50 yuan a catty, about two catties each."

The Red Soldier said, "He raised this one, and the school fish pond one is wild, and the taste is fresher than this."

Yin Yuan knew that the wild soft-shelled turtle in the market cost 180 to 200 catties, and there were not many artificially cultivated soft-shelled turtles at this time, and this boss was very economical.

He said to the boss, "I'll buy all of your five soft-shelled turtles weighing more than three pounds, can you give me less?"

The middle-aged man looked at him in surprise and felt that the young man in front of him must be a big boss.

Who would be willing to spend more than 1,000 yuan at a time to buy 5 old soft-shelled turtles to eat.

The average person can't afford to eat either.

Even a wealthy boss doesn't necessarily buy so much at once.

The middle-aged man finally agreed to sell it to them for 75 yuan a catty.

The young concubine also deliberately found a bucket with a lid, put some water in it, and raised five large soft-shelled turtles on it.

The middle-aged boss asked him with interest, "Boss, which village are you from?"

"Furuta Village."

"Where did the boss get rich?"

"Jiang Ming."

The middle-aged boss said happily: "I have a nephew, he took my soft-shelled turtle to Jiangming a few times, and also went to Guancheng, Xiangshan, and Boiling Mountain, and those rich Cantonese people were willing to eat. They like to make soup, and these soft-shelled turtles are the best ingredients."

Yin Yuan handed him the money and praised him: "Boss, your mind is very useful, you know how to pull soft-shelled turtles to Guangdong cities to sell, and in the future, your nephew will pull goods to Jiangming, ask him to call me, and then I will buy your soft-shelled turtles to eat."

It sells for 180 to 200 in the market, and here it is only 80, which is a good deal.

He handed him his business card.

The middle-aged man took Yin Yuan's business card and had an idea in his heart.

"Boss Yin, I have an idea, you have a company and a factory in Jiangming, and your business is so big, I can trust you. My nephew pulled the soft-shelled turtle and went to negotiate a good price with the local seafood owner and wholesale it to them. It's also very troublesome for him to run several cities by himself, I mean you go to contact the local seafood merchant, how much goods you need, and I will send it to you through a long-distance truck. I'll give you a wholesale price here, and you can make money by negotiating the purchase price with the seafood dealer over there."

Hongbing nodded and said, "Brother, this business can be done. But how shall we pay you?"

The boss of the soft-shelled turtle said: "Everyone pays attention to an integrity in doing business, you call and tell me the weight you need, and then I entrust the goods to the long-distance bus, those drivers and car owners I am very familiar with them, you give the payment to the driver to help me bring it back."

He gave the three Red Soldiers business cards.

The boss's name is Xiao Jianguo, and his daughter's name is Xiao Kehui, who is responsible for the sales of soft-shelled turtle farms.

Yin Yuan said: "Boss Xiao is a business-minded person, we went to the market after we arrived in Jiangming, and with this soft-shelled turtle, we should not worry about sales. I'll contact you when we need it."

Xiao Jianguo found two soft-shelled turtles of about two catties from the bucket and said that he would give them to them.

"If you can't make it, let's make friends."

When Yin Yuan and the others left, his father and daughter were specially sent to the gate of the courtyard.

The tricycle boy sent them to the snake farm under the dam.

The snake farm is also built at the foot of a hill, but there is no fence and you can come and go as you please.

At the entrance is a man-made rockery, with two rows of low houses behind.

When Feng Yizhen came here, she was very nervous, and there was a slight noise in the grass next to her, and she was so frightened that she grabbed Yin Hongbing's hand tightly, and her palms were full of sweat.

The Red Soldier said to her, "What is there to be afraid of, do you think the snake in the snake house will escape? Absolutely not, if you run away, what money will the boss make?"

The tricycle boy told them, "The short man with a bag of snake feed is the boss, and his name is Andy Song. I've helped him pull snake feed before."

He beckoned to Boss Song and said, "Boss Song, these bosses want to buy your water law snake."

Song Dehua walked over with the feed and said, "Hello bosses, are you going to buy and eat? How many are you going to buy, big or small?"

Yin Yuan asked him, "How much does the big one weigh?" How much does it weigh?"

Song Dehua said: "I have the largest one here that weighs more than ten catties, and there are also seven or eight catties, and the general one weighs three catties."

Yin Yuan said, "Do you still want more than five or three catties? The snake meat is too big and too woody, and it doesn't taste that good."

Because he had eaten snake meat several times at Wanting's house.

Song Dehua said in surprise, "It seems that the boss still eats snake meat a lot, how many of you are from that village?"

"We are from Gutian Village, but we opened a company in Jiangming, and I went to my wife's house to drink snake soup a few times, so I bought a few snakes for my wife to make soup."

Song Dehua nodded and said, "No wonder, most of the snakes I raise are also sold to Guangdong cities, just like that old Xiao in Batou, they are all consigned to Guangdong cities on long-distance shuttle buses and sold to local aquatic products."

He said that only a very small number of cadres are cadres, and there are some rich bosses who come here to buy snakes like you.

During the Chinese New Year, many people who went to Guangdong to work and earn money came to buy a few snakes and go back to make soup.

Yin Yuan asked him how much a pound he was, and he knew that Jiang Ming's water law snake also cost 120 yuan a catty.

Song Dehua said that the wholesale price here is 50 yuan a catty, and there are many discounts.

Yin Yuan thought that he had agreed to Xiao Jianguo's soft-shelled turtle sales just now, so Song Dehua's water law snake here could also operate in the same way.

He handed a business card to Andy Song, told him about Lao Xiao's proposal to raise soft-shelled turtles just now, and asked him if the water law snake could be operated in the same way?

Song Dehua said: "It's total, I am very good friends with Lao Xiao, his nephew has helped me sell a few times, and we have worked well together."

He also took out his business card and gave it to Yin Yuan and a few people.
