Chapter 16 Shangfeng Town
At that time, the road in Shangfeng Town was also a wonder.
At that time, the truck cost less than 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and it was enough for 10,000 households to buy this thing, which was only available in units such as the Food Bureau and the Forestry Bureau, or the village raised funds to buy it.
But on the road in Shangfeng Town, there are too many such trucks to count, and some of the trucks are really printed with the name of a certain unit.
It can be seen how blatant the "goods" were back then.
And the car is more and the road is smaller, so it is easy to get blocked.
Once a car breaks down, the whole road is full of cars, and children from nearby villages will run to the side of the road with the local unique "light cakes" and sell them to these truck drivers and accompanying bosses at high prices.
Escorted by the truck horn and the driver's quintessence, Li Duoyu finally arrived in Shangfeng Town.
The streets of the town are crowded with cars and people, more lively than the county seat, the roads are lined with hotels, and small blackboards are placed at the door.
Looking up, you can see that not far away Shangfeng Middle School has four big red characters, where he and Zhou Xiaoying's junior high school are studied.
When they were studying, the school conditions were very poor, there was not even a canteen, and because they were boarders, they had to bring their own rice to cook.
Although Zhou Xiaoying is two years older than him, under Lao Li's deliberate arrangement, the two were in junior high school in the same year, and Li Duoyu remembers very well that at that time, every time he had a meal, he was completely inseparable from this woman.
At that time, he was completely a bad boy who was so energetic that he had no place to vent.
I had a group fight with my classmates and got five stitches on my head.
Let's go to a nearby watermelon field and steal watermelons.
Stealing the boats of the fishermen in the town was criticized by the whole school.
Absenteeism, playing poker in the dorm.
......
Anyway, as long as it's something other than reading, they're all very interested.
But what I remember most is that Li Duoyu also asked Zhou Xiaoying to write a love letter to him at that time, and the love letter was to a very beautiful girl at that time.
As for the name, Li Duoyu can't remember it now, but he remembers that the girl is also very beautiful, and she loves to sing and dance.
And after writing that love letter.
Li Duoyu was also hungry for a whole week.
Now that I think about it carefully, Zhou Xiaoying is willing to marry him, in addition to Lao Li's matchmaking, there should be other reasons, Li Duoyu didn't ask in his previous life.
In this life, Li Duoyu plans to talk tricks.
Due to the prevalence of goods.
Over the years, the vast majority of the people in the town have made money, and there are shouting and selling voices everywhere in the town.
"Rough horse watches are cheaper, only twenty."
"Radios, electronic watches, no one wants."
......
Set up a stall directly in front of your home.
There are those who carry flat poles and sell them as they go.
There are also sacks that are sold on the ground.
It can be said that in Shangfeng Town at this time, even if you set up a tea stall in front of your home, business will be very good.
Li Duoyu remembers very clearly that because there was no running water at that time, there were too many people to supply tea, and there was a long queue for well water.
In his previous life, Li Duoyu also sold goods here, and he and Agui took Yuan Datou on a small island in the overseas province, and exchanged things with those big ships.
It will be pulled to the town and sold.
At that time, the best Shanghai brand watches in China only cost 120 yuan, and when they exchanged with the big ship, an island oriental watch with a completely crushed performance and appearance only cost 30 yuan, and a rough horse watch cost 10 yuan.
They just need to pull it to Shangfeng Town to sell.
The price is doubled, Oriental watches can be sold for 60 yuan, and rough horse watches can also be sold for 20.
At that time, this kind of rough horse watch assembled on Hong Kong Island was of high quality and low price, and it was very easy to sell.
Once he and Agui sold two dual-speaker three-purpose machines, and earned 600 yuan, which was directly Zhou Xiaoying's salary for two years, which made them so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days.
Looking at the bustling Shangfeng Town in front of him, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh, because it wouldn't be long before this kind of scene disappeared with the entry of the smuggling office.
The reason why Li Duoyu came to Shangfeng Town was to buy a few meters of good-looking cloth for his wife before the smuggling office came, and to buy her a folding umbrella by the way.
Just when Li Duoyu was shopping at the stall, he didn't think about it, but he ran into an acquaintance, a bald man wearing a silver necklace, Brother Shui.
He was followed by several horses.
Brother Shui is a local head snake, who specializes in collecting stall fees in this area, such as Li Duoyu and Agui, who have no stores and houses in the town.
If you want to sell things in this area, a local snake like Brother Shui is a person who can't get around, and they will charge stall fees to non-local stall holders.
Depending on the location of the stall, there are 10 to 50 yuan a day, and the booth fee paid by Li Duoyu and A Gui to Brother Shui is hundreds of yuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most profitable person in the area, and his family has already built a four-story mansion, and there are two or three imported cars parked in the yard.
I heard that my wife, junior, and junior are quite harmonious, and they often play mahjong together, but I don't know if it's true or not.
After Brother Shui saw Li Duoyu, he greeted him:
"Isn't this a lot of fish, where have you been fooling around lately, it's been a long time since I've seen you and Agui take care of my business, and without the two of you, I feel that the business is much worse."
"Brother Shui, it's funny, just my little business with Agui, how can it get into your eyes, isn't this some time ago, blocked by an anti-smuggling ship, and I didn't get the goods."
As soon as he heard the anti-smuggling ship, Brother Shui's face instantly fell, a few days ago, they were also detained several ships, and all the goods on board were confiscated, which made him lose a lot of money.
"These bastards, who don't do anything all day, just want to steal things from us."
Brother Shui patted Li Duoyu on the shoulder:
"Do a good job, if you have the goods, you must take care of my business more."
"That's for sure."
In fact, in his previous life, Li Duoyu and Brother Shui had a lot of intersections, and he was reported by Agui's wife back then, which became a typical example of cracking down on smuggling and speculation.
But Brother Shui is a typical of the typical, he is simply a representative figure, and it is said that the great unity found from his house is packed with several sacks.
The cadres who were implicated were countless, and after Brother Shui was arrested, many cadres wanted him to die quickly.
At that time, for the sake of Brother Shui's personal safety, the anti-smuggling office did not dare to put him in a prison in this province, but sent him to the next province to be detained.
Coincidentally, Li Duoyu was locked up in the same prison as him, but Li Duoyu was five years, and he was indefinite.
Later, because of his good performance, Brother Shui was released after 30 years, and the year he came out, it happened that Li Duoyu also happened to come back from the island country.
Later, I heard that after he came out, his wife, junior, and junior had all run away with others and started a family one after another.
Alone, he could only go to Ma Zai's house, which was behind him, to help breed kelp.
It's embarrassing to think about it now.
Li Duoyu raised his head and looked at the prosperous street in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh a little, a crazy era was about to come to an end.
And Li Duoyu, who knows the price.
I didn't bother to pick it, so I found a random stall nearby and bought six meters of imported fabric and a folding umbrella at a similar price.
I left Shangfeng Town by car and went to Qingkou Wharf.
