79. Big business
Xiao Zhengping told what he had just seen and heard and his own conjectures at the dinner table, and Chen Yan was about to go over to teach Hu Shun a lesson, but was stopped by Xiao Zhengping.
"It's just immoral for people to do this, and it's not unruly, what can you do to them?"
"Damn, they're plotting against us, is it possible to do this?"
"How can it be forgotten! Don't worry, they can do the first year of junior high school, then don't blame us for doing fifteen, Hu Shanchuan of the dog day probably wouldn't have thought that his baby son would personally send a big business to us. ”
"What's the big business?" All four asked at the same time.
Xiao Zhengping smiled but didn't answer, and said with a smile after taking a sip of soup: "Sell it first, hurry up and eat, and after eating, I will go to talk about this big business." ”
In this era, the food in the restaurant will always be more delicious than at home, and the state-run restaurants in the provincial capital, region, and county town are also like this, for no other reason, enough oil and water, rich seasonings, can always arouse people's single appetite.
It was almost a storm, and the food on the table was quickly eaten, Xiao Zhengping asked everyone if they were full with a strong stomach, and everyone snickered and nodded-three pots of rice plus eight dishes were swept away, which was already very unusual, even if he was not full, he was embarrassed to bring it up at this time.
After settling the bill, Xiao Zhengping asked the other four to wait outside, and he himself found the restaurant manager behind the counter.
The manager was facing the accounts with a person at this time, Xiao Zhengping didn't bother him, and waited for them to finish the accounts before Xiao Zhengping got up.
"Big brother, my name is Xiao Zhengping, and I am from Xiayan Township. I just overheard you want fungi? Xiao Zhengping offered a "handle" cigarette - this is a habit he has developed after dealing with Boss Xia for a long time, although he does not smoke, he always carries a pack of good cigarettes with him.
The manager looked Xiao Zhengping up and down, and said with annoyance: "What I want is a regular and quantitative supply, and I don't want a few catties and taels." ”
Xiao Zhengping still kept smiling and said with a smile: "I can't look for you for a few catties and a few taels!" Tell me what you want, and if I can do it, I'll supply you. ”
The manager seemed to realize that the cigarette in his hand was different from the usual smoke, and took a puff with satisfaction after lighting the cigarette, "Requirements, it's very simple, I open a restaurant here, it looks good, the goods are fresh, and the most important thing is that I want to get the goods at the wholesale price, and I have to make money fucking too, right?" ”
The manager said that the voice in the back became louder, and it was estimated that the anger with Hu Shun had not been too strong before.
Xiao Zhengping smiled: "Then it must be a wholesale price, this is no problem." Also, big brother, do you want dry goods here? I can also supply bamboo shoots, peppercorns, pepper and so on, fresh and dried. ”
The manager was a little surprised, and looked at Xiao Zhengping again, "You kid is doing a lot of work, shouldn't you be a bad master?" ”
"Hehe, the eldest brother said that he laughed, I said that I was from Xiayan Township, these things are all native things, do you still need to pour them? Otherwise, the fungus is about to be out of season, I'll prepare a little for you, you see how much? ”
"Okay," the manager flicked the butt of the cigarette at his feet, "I'll take a look at a hundred catties of fresh goods first, if it works, we can cooperate for a long time." ”
"No problem, a hundred catties of fresh goods, sent over the day after tomorrow, how about it?"
......
When he walked out of the hotel, Xiao Zhengping was very excited, all along, he had been trapped in Xiayan Township, between He Yongfu and Xia Changyong, and today's temporary business may be the beginning of his breakthrough in the predicament.
The four of them were still waiting for Xiao Zhengping boredly, and after Xiao Zhengping came out, he told them the news of the fungus supply to the restaurant.
The first person to ask questions was Dai Xuemei, "There is still a long way to go from our township to the county seat, and we don't have a car, how can we send it?" ”
Chen Yan hurriedly replied: "I'll send it, how can I drive a mule cart back and forth in a day." ”
Xiao Zhengping hurriedly retorted, "No, the mule cart is too slow, and we can't stop collecting mountain goods." In this way, the two of us will take turns to take the shuttle bus and think of other ways in the future. ”
A few people talked all the way to the county west station, just in time to catch the shuttle bus back in the afternoon.
After returning home, Xiao Zhengping took the three women to happily send the wheelchair he bought to the second uncle's house, and installed it on the spot for his cousin Xiao Zhengwen.
From loading it to holding Xiao Zhengwen and sitting on it, everything went smoothly, and everyone was happy, but when Xiao Zhengping tried to push the wheelchair, he found that the ground at home was uneven.
At this time, people did not have the habit of hardening the ground, and when repairing the house, they only used stone grinders to ram the ground tightly, and when the house was just repaired, the ground was still flat, but after a few years, it became potholes everywhere.
Not only the ground of the house, but also the roads of the entire brigade are still dirt roads, and even the main road down the mountain is only a small part of the hardened, so this wheelchair is almost useless.
Xiao Zhengping was a little frustrated, the family members saw it, Xiao Zhengwen tried to move by himself, and said with a smile: "What do you say people think now, even the paralyzed have a bicycle to sit on, and then you don't need your sister-in-law to accompany you when you go out again." ”
The second uncle, Xiao Kunshui, also comforted: "It's nothing, isn't it just that the ground is uneven, this house has been around for decades, just find a time to repair it, and fix the ground again." ”
Xiao Zhengping knew that they were comforting themselves, so he no longer insisted on finding a topic.
The next day, Xiao Zhengping and Chen Yan went out, it was the last season of fungi, and there was no need for three people to get up early and go out to collect them greedily.
After running a few places, the two of them pulled back two carts of fungus, and after they came back, the two of them selected a hundred catties of better quality from them overnight and loaded them with bamboo baskets.
When catching the bus in the morning, the conductor stared at the two baskets for a long time, and finally looked at Xiao Zhengping, and smiled with some surprise: "I know you, you are the one who sells cigarettes." ”
Xiao Zhengping smiled, "That's right, it's me, but this time you can rest assured, I'm pulling fungi, and it's not illegal." ”
The conductor glanced at Xiao Zhengping and asked him to put the fungus into the carriage, but he had to calculate the ticket money for two people, and Xiao Zhengping did not refuse.
However, what Xiao Zhengping didn't expect was that on this shuttle, he met more than one acquaintance, Wang Guozhu was also there!
After finding out that it was Xiao Zhengping, Wang Guozhu immediately got up to help him move the basket, and said with a smile while busy: "Pingzi, you have finished making one play and one play, why did you fiddle with the fungus again?" ”
Xiao Zhengping set up the basket and sat down next to the Wang Guozhu, "I've been fiddling with the fungus all the time, the last time I sold cigarettes was an episode, hey, Brother Wang, are you going to be a relative again?" ”
"Hey, no, my second boy's car broke down on the road, isn't this sending him some money?"
"Cars? What kind of car? ”
After Wang Guozhu's narration, Xiao Zhengping finally figured out what happened.
It turned out that Wang Guozhu had a son who returned from the army last year, and after returning home, he was assigned a job as a forest farm driver, specially transporting coal to the Tongshan Forest Farm in the northwest of the county. The day before yesterday, the car broke down on the road, and it took a few days to repair, and Wang Guozhu's son didn't have any preparations when he set off, so he called the team and asked his father, who was Wang Guozhu, to send some living expenses or something.
When Xiao Zhengping heard this, an idea suddenly popped up and asked, "Brother Wang, is your son pulling coal from the train station?" ”
Wang Guozhu nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then his car will stop at the train station when he comes back?"
"yes."
"Since it's pulling coal, it's all empty when you come back, right?"
"Well, it's hard to say, sometimes I get a little stuff down, but most of the time it's empty."
Xiao Zhengping nodded, and then said with a smile: "Great, Brother Wang, why don't we do some business together?" ”
