These days, Xiao Zhengping asked his sister-in-law Jia Hongyue to take a little more cigarettes secretly, except for the ones that were cut and sold at the market, they were all bundled and put under the bed.

Seeing that Chen Yan's work of collecting mushrooms gradually took shape, Xiao Zhengping deliberately got up early in the morning that day, went to his cousin's place to pick up the bundle of cigarettes and set off.

The entire mountainous area of the county uses flue-cured tobacco as a cash crop, so Xiao Zhengping is targeting those towns and villages with relatively low altitudes and no tobacco cultivation.

In order to get out of this trip, Xiao Zhengping specially asked Xiuye to wash his clothes full of patches, and twisted his hair a little shorter.

The morning in the mountains is still cold even in the middle of summer, but this kind of cool makes Xiao Zhengping particularly excited - this is the first time he has gone far since he crossed, and he will use this opportunity to lay the foundation for his future road to prosperity.

Soon, Xiao Zhengping took a shuttle bus to the county seat.

As soon as they got on the bus, everyone along with the driver and conductor was attracted by Xiao Zhengping's large bundle of cigarettes.

"Comrade, you cigarette~~" The young female conductor had never seen such a "goods", and she searched in her mind but could not find a way to dispose of it.

"This is all smoke that the tobacco station doesn't want, I~~ A relative of mine asked me to pull it over to smoke mosquitoes."

Originally, Xiao Zhengping wanted to tell the truth, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the word "sell" could not be said casually, so he lied.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that it was for his relatives, the conductor took it for granted, "Then you put the roof on the roof of the car, don't get in the way." ”

After buying the ticket, Xiao Zhengping just sat down with peace of mind, and a big brother next to him asked, "Your cigarette is in good condition, why don't you keep it for smoking?" What a pity to take it to smoke mosquitoes! ”

"Hey, there are too many cigarettes back, and I can't finish smoking, and my relatives have spoken, so I will send them over by the way."

"Little brother, where do you get off the car, or you give me some to come out, and I'll give you money."

Xiao Zhengping immediately became interested, "Big brother, don't you smoke at home?" Why are you still buying cigarettes from me? ”

"My family is from Xiayan Township, and we can't smoke there, to be honest, like me, who wants to smoke two puffs and can't afford to smoke the cigarettes in the supply and marketing cooperative, I like cigarettes like yours, if you want to take them to us, they must be easy to sell."

Xiao Zhengping pretended to be surprised, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense, I didn't sell this cigarette, if you want it, get out of the car and get some and go back to smoke." ”

The eldest brother looked around, and then squeezed his eyes at Xiao Zhengping, "What are you afraid of, you don't steal or rob, you have a cigarette that you want, or you don't want it from the tobacco station, why do you sell it?" Besides, such a good cigarette, it came out after all the hard work, and it was taken to smoke the pigsty in the thatched house, don't you feel distressed? ”

A few words can be regarded as talking to Xiao Zhengping's heart, but he still doesn't want to easily expose his true intentions.

After chatting for a while, when he arrived at Xiayan Township, the eldest brother said that he was going to get off the car, and Xiao Zhengping hurriedly followed.

I took the cigarette off the roof of the car, and as soon as I smoked a small bundle for the big brother, the shuttle drove away.

The eldest brother was in a hurry, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop the car, but Xiao Zhengping signaled that he didn't need to shout.

"What? Aren't you going to be a relative? The eldest brother asked.

"Hey, take the cigarette down and put it back on, others don't want to wait, forget it. Hey, big brother, you said in the car that you were selling cigarettes, can you do it? ”

"Why can't you do it! If you don't believe that you will go home with me, just this little cigarette, or a bag of cigarettes, will be sold out for you! ”

"That's okay, I'll bother the big brother."

The eldest brother probably didn't expect Xiao Zhengping to be able to do one bite before, but he changed his words after getting out of the car, and his head couldn't turn for a while.

"Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

"Hehe, big brother, what you said is still right, it's a pity to smoke mosquitoes after working so hard to serve."

The eldest brother nodded with satisfaction, "Alas, that's right." ”

After chatting for a few words, Xiao Zhengping asked the name of the eldest brother, called Wang Guozhu, his home is not far away, and after getting off the car, he walked for more than an hour.

When he arrived at Wang Guozhu's house, Xiao Zhengping first smoked a large bundle of cigarettes for him, and Wang Guozhu wanted to give money, but Xiao Zhengping didn't take it.

"Big brother, let's not have no money, if this cigarette can be sold, we have to thank you."

"Oh, don't worry, let me tell you, just your little cigarette is not enough for a person to smoke!"

Saying that, Wang Guozhu asked his daughter-in-law to pour Xiao Zhengping a glass of water, and asked him to wait for a while.

After Xiao Zhengping finished drinking tea, Wang Guozhu took two people into the house, and the two first nodded to Xiao Zhengping, and then their eyes were immediately attracted by the cigarette on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengping immediately dispersed the bundle of cigarettes, and the two of them immediately picked a small bundle each.

Xiao Zhengping didn't have a scale, so he borrowed the hook name of Wang Guozhu's family.

Just as Xiao Zhengping was weighing the cigarette, three more people walked in from outside.

In this way, a large bundle of cigarettes was quickly snatched up by a dozen people, and finally there was a little scrap left on the ground, which was also pulled away by the last person.

Xiao Zhengping happily put the thirty yuan back in his pocket, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Guozhu and his family looking at their pockets in a daze.

"Brother Wang, thank you so much, you see that this was originally used to smoke mosquitoes, but it turned into money when it came to you."

"Hehe, now it's time for you to trust me! Let me tell you, this is just our brigade, and there are more people in these two nearby townships who want your cigarettes! ”

Xiao Zhengping pulled Wang Guozhu to sit down, and said softly: "Brother Wang, if we don't do a business together, I'll bring you the cigarettes here, you give a purchase price, and then you take it and sell it, and the more you sell and the less will be yours, what do you think?" ”

Wang Guozhu slapped his thigh, "Okay! ”

After agreeing, the two chatted for a while, Wang Guozhu left Xiao Zhengping for lunch, and then Xiao Zhengping left.

Things went so smoothly, Xiao Zhengping didn't expect it at all, he originally thought that he had to pick up a cigarette and shout, but he didn't think that the business would be done as soon as he got in the car.

Judging from the appearance of the dozen or so people grabbing cigarettes, Wang Guozhu did not lie, several nearby townships are in the plain area, where rice is mainly grown, and neither the land nor the climate is suitable for tobacco planting.

And the current economic level does not allow people to buy cigarettes to smoke like city people, so this kind of flue-cured tobacco must be very popular, at least the entire Zhangshuya cigarette is completely digestible.

There is only one bus to the county seat, leaving in the morning and returning in the afternoon, Xiao Zhengping has no watch, and he can't pinch the time, so he has to stand on the side of the road and wait.

After waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Zhengping finally waited for the return shuttle.

When he returned home, Chen Yan and Xiuye were there, and Chen Yan said that Zhang Gouzi had something to do at home, and he would go back after selling the mushrooms.

Xiao Zheng said calmly, it is okay to sell cigarettes for the time being, if Zhang Gouzi's character is known, the whole team will know about it the next day.

So, while the mushroom seller hadn't come yet, Xiao Zhengping told the two of them what he had seen and heard on today's trip.
