The current society is still in a very embarrassing state, and there is no clear saying that what can be done, and what cannot be done. Often, as soon as many things have just taken a step, someone comes to stop them, not to mention all kinds of criticism and punishment, and people's enthusiasm is also poured into the heart.

Not long ago, Xiao Zhengping read in the newspaper that some people criticized the production responsibility system as a retrogression, and doing a small business was still called a capitalist roader.

So on the way home, Xiao Zhengping was very worried, he could feel that the leader had no malicious intentions, and he knew that the policy would be wider and wider. But the reality is like this, a sentence is listened to by people with bad intentions, pick a few words to make some articles, and he Xiao Zhengping may be arrested and squatted.

Xiao Zhengping is not afraid of squatting, he is just worried that he will be busy before and after, and finally busy.

It doesn't matter so much!

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhengping said in his heart, his current mind is all about how to make money, at this time, if he jumps out halfway to bite the gold, then he can only kill the gods and Buddhas!

......

There was nothing to do today, it was still early when I got home, Xiuye hadn't finished school yet, Xiao Zhengping put the broken bamboo basket on the firewood stack and lay down.

It turned out that the bed board was moldy and damp, and in the past few days, Xiuye found a few bricks to raise the bed board, dried the cotton wool, and washed the sheets.

In fact, Xiao Zhengping was not very tired, and the reason why he lay down was because he wanted to calm himself down and think about it.

When he sold mushrooms for the first time, he learned from He Yongfu that the price of dried mushrooms was several times higher than that of wet mushrooms, and since then, he has been pondering this matter.

Although the price of wet mushrooms has increased several times after drying, the weight loss is also several times, and now he doesn't know who is higher and lower than the ratio of loss and price, but it is certain that he can no longer sell them day by day like now, and it is impossible to rely on himself to go up the mountain to collect mushrooms.

When he went to see the boss tomorrow, he had to set two things, first, he had to raise the purchase price of He Yongfu; Second, he had to get the shipping channels of other mountain goods, such as bamboo shoots, peppercorns and other things.

Of course, he also had to go to the eldest uncle and second uncle to discuss the matter of the smoke stove, and most importantly, to solve the technical problem of drying mountain goods with the smoke stove.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhengping took care of his hair with the help of Xiuye, took out a set of Xiuye's washed clothes and changed them, and then set off.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, he found He Yongfu and bought three packs of the most expensive cigarettes in the supply and marketing cooperative, one of which was for He Yongfu, one for himself to keep loose cigarettes, and the other for the boss.

At about ten o'clock, He Yongfu suddenly pointed to a small four-wheeled car that was slowly approaching and said with a smile: "Ah, here it is." ”

The car drove straight to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and after stopping, a man wearing a bomber jacket, toad glasses, and a comb with a middle hair came down from the co-pilot.

The man was about forty years old, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he took off his toad glasses, revealing a mouthful of smoky yellow teeth, "Lao He, you are staring at my car from afar, are you expecting me to bring you a little daughter-in-law?" ”

"Boss Xia, don't say I can't look forward to it, even if I look forward to it, I can't afford it. Hehe, come, let me introduce you, this little brother is Xiao Zhengping I told you last time. ”

Xiao Zhengping hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out a hand and said with a smile: "Hello Boss Xia, I am Xiao Zhengping." ”

Xia Changyong didn't seem to expect the other party to greet him in such a way, he was a little surprised for a while, he stared at Xiao Zhengping seriously for a while before holding the hand that came over, "Oh, hello, hello, I'm Xia Changyong." ”

After the two finished greeting, He Yongfu put his arm around Xia Changyong's shoulder, "Let's go, let's finish my business first, and then go to the guest house to talk about Brother Xiao." ”

After that, He Yongfu took the two of them around the supply and marketing cooperatives and walked into a courtyard.

The yard is not very big, there are eight rows of bamboo skimmers side by side, on which are drying all kinds of mountain goods collected by He Yongfu, Xiao Zhengping took a look and found that most of them are fungi, and there are a small number of medicinal materials.

Xia Changyong didn't seem to be very satisfied, and while walking, he casually took the mushrooms that had not yet dried and checked, "Lao He, you can't get this amount up, you have to think of a way, otherwise I won't be able to make money for oil this trip." ”

He Yongfu walked to a hut, took out the key to open the door, and teased: "If you really can't make money for gas, can you still run to me one by one?" Are you not a fool then? ”

Xia Changyong walked into the hut and took a look, then instructed the driver who followed behind, "Xiao Li, move the goods." Then he said to He Yongfu: "Lao He, that's what I said, but if you can get the amount up and let me make a little more, won't the price I give you a little higher." ”

Xiao Zhengping followed closely behind the two, watching silently and listening silently.

The driver, Xiao Li, carried the mountain goods that had been completely dried and sorted into the carriage one by one, looking at him like that, the basket was not very heavy.

During Xiao Li's moving of goods, the three of them had already walked out of the courtyard and slowly walked towards the guest house under the leadership of He Yongfu.

After taking his seat, Xiao Zhengping instructed the waiter to bring the tea first, and then serve the cigarettes that had been prepared.

Xia Changyong held the tea in one hand and the cigarette in the other, and the smile that had disappeared in the courtyard just now reappeared.

"Little brother, sit down, what's the matter, listen to Lao He, do you want to do it for a long time?"

Xiao Zhengping was also not polite, and nodded vigorously, "I not only want to work for a long time, but also want to do a big job?" ”

"Oh? What's the big deal? Let's hear it. ”

"Boss Xia, don't care how much I do, what you want is the goods, and I'll give you enough goods! The meaning of eating this meal today is to ask you to tell me the requirements for receiving the goods, and I want to ask you if there is any easier or more advanced way to dry these mountain goods. ”

"Hehe, the tone is not small! Okay, these things are easy to say, let me ask you first, how are you going to deliver the goods? ”

Xiao Zhengping looked at He Yongfu, "I just thought of this, and I haven't discussed it with Brother He yet, I want to deliver it here with Brother He, and I will pay a little rent every month." ”

He Yongfu was overjoyed, "This is no problem, it is more than enough for a few thousand catties of dry goods in my yard." ”

"Brother He, don't be in a hurry to agree, I haven't finished my words yet." Xiao Zhengping paused, and then said, "I saw it just now, you have all mushrooms and medicinal herbs there, we said before, the goods will pass from you." But I want to make things other than mushrooms and herbs myself. ”

One sentence shocked He Yongfu and Xia Changyong.

"What else do you want to make?" Xia Changyong was obviously interested.

Xiao Zhengping took out the list copied from He Yongfu and handed it to Xia Changyong, "I've seen all of these, what kind of bamboo shoots, peppercorns or something like these, I want to supply them to you directly, anyway, if Brother He doesn't do it, we won't have any interests involved." ”

Xia Changyong was immediately deflated after hearing this, "You said these things, I thought you had something good!" Brother Xiao, these things are not very profitable, you might as well be a living creature to do this, let me tell you, living creatures are quick to make money! ”

"I didn't want to touch the living thing, Boss Xia, I suggest you don't touch it either. Let's talk about mountain goods, I know those things are not very profitable, but I can do the volume, you can rest assured. ”

"Okay, as long as Lao He has no opinion, I have no problem here."

He Yongfu obviously has an opinion, although he really doesn't plan to accept things like bamboo shoots that are too low-profit, but Xiao Zhengping's doing this is actually equivalent to taking a piece of meat from his bowl, even if it is a scrap, it is also a piece of meat!

It's just that the words have come to this point, and He Yongfu stands up against it again, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Hey, Brother Xiao has said to rent it, what can I say."

Just when he said this, Xiao Li, who was moving the goods, drove the car over, and Xiao Zhengping saw that everyone had arrived, so he ordered the waiter to serve the food.

During the meal, Xia Changyong gave Xiao Zhengping a rough explanation of the requirements for receiving the goods, saying that he would have to wait for the receipt of the goods to look at the real thing. As for the drying process, Xia Changyong said that he didn't know much about it, but he could go outside to find relevant information for Xiao Zhengping.

The meal was very pleasant, and Xiao Zhengping also saw that this so-called big boss was not as amazing as He Yongfu said, aside from those fashionable dresses, Xia Changyong was actually a calculating little people.

After eating, Xia Changyong left, Xiao Zhengping and He Yongfu walked out of the guest house and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xiao Zhengping threw out a cigarette and handed it to He Yongfu, he knew that He Yongfu was a little unhappy in his heart.

"Brother He, why are you going so fast?"

Seeing that He Yongfu didn't answer, Xiao Zhengping caught up with him in a few big steps.

"Big brother, listen to me, the profit of those things with bamboo shoots is so low, it doesn't mean anything for you to collect it, I give you a little rent every month, which actually increases your income, isn't it? Besides, in the future, if we increase the amount of fungi, won't you make a lot of money? Don't worry, as the old saying goes, don't forget the people who dig wells, and I won't lose you. ”

He Yongfu stopped at this time, stared at Xiao Zhengping and said: "That's what I said, but you have to discuss it with me, how do you know that I don't want to make bamboo shoots and peppercorns!" Okay, so let's not talk about that, tell me, how are you going to increase the amount of fungi? ”

Xiao Zhengping smiled, "I'll collect it, go door to door to collect it, and I'll provide you with dry goods when it's over, won't it save you time and place?" ”

"Then you went door-to-door to collect it, what should I do here?"

"Hey, why do you want to do so much, anyway, all the goods go from you, and I don't accept it the same as you? Besides, at most, I will collect it from our brigade, and you can still collect it elsewhere. ”

He Yongfu thought about it carefully, as if it was indeed the case, so he didn't say anything more.

When leaving, Xiao Zhengping bought another cigarette for He Yongfu, saying that when the time came, he would force Xia Changyong to increase the price, and at that time He Yongfu had to mention the purchase price to himself, and He Yongfu naturally agreed very happily.

Although things went well, Xiao Zhengping still sighed on the road up the mountain again - this road is the lifeblood of the entire Zhangshuya Brigade, and all materials entering and leaving must pass through this road. If the road could be a little wider, even if it was only for mules and horses, then he wouldn't need to make deliveries in He Yongfu's yard.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

Xiao Zheng said that he didn't know when he brought it up, but it couldn't be more suitable for himself at this moment!

It seems that I have to go to Zou Shusheng, the secretary of the brigade, to have a good talk.
