For the next period of time, Wang Huixue had to go out with Hu Mingchen every day to sell toys.

At the beginning, whether it was Hu Mingchen or Wang Zhan, they all felt that as long as Wang Huixue went to Hu Mingchen once and experienced it, she would not be interested in this hard errand.

This is the most difficult thing is Hu Mingchen, take her not to take her or not.

To be honest, if Hu Mingchen goes out to do things alone, his efficiency will be improved a lot. With Wang Huixue, you have to accommodate her everywhere, which invisibly reduces efficiency.

But if she didn't take Wang Huixue to go, she would be stalking again, which would make people very annoying.

In the absence of a move, Hu Mingchen could only agree with Wang Huixue that she could only go out once in three days, and this time she went out, she Wang Huixue had to complete the task of more than five stores independently.

Even if this is restrictive and compressed, Wang Huixue's enthusiasm is still very high.

Fortunately, the city of Liangcheng is not very large, and there are only four or five hundred thousand people in the urban area. Even if Wang Zhan's goods are basically fully covered, it only needs one or two hundred stores to achieve it. This amount of task is not particularly large compared to Hu Mingchen.

It took almost a month, that is, when Xiao Yumei and Wang Hui came back from their hometown, Hu Mingchen finished the sales promotion entrusted by Wang Zhan.

"Xiaohu, you're done, but you can play at our house for a few more days before you go back, anyway, it's a holiday now, and you don't have to go to school." Some time ago, there were some things in my hometown, I delayed for a while, you play for a few more days, Aunt Xiao will make you something to eat. ”

Xiao Yumei looks like the kind of person, with short hair, a goose egg face, and always a smile on her face when she speaks.

Hearing that Hu Mingchen had finished his work and planned to go back to Duge tomorrow, Xiao Yumei wanted to keep him for a few more days.

As soon as Xiao Yumei came back, Wang Zhan didn't tell her how Hu Mingchen was, but Wang Huixue, as soon as she saw Xiao Yumei, she praised Hu Mingchen vigorously in front of her, and at least two of the three sentences did not leave him.

"Aunt Xiao, it's been almost a month since I left home, although I don't have to go to school and study in the summer, but in the countryside, there is always some life, I better go back early, maybe I can help the family." Anyway, I already know each other, and there are still many opportunities to deal with each other in the future, so I guess when I come to the door, Aunt Xiao will not let me out. Hu Mingchen joked with a smile.

"Wang Hui, look, you are still two years older than Ming Chen, what he thinks about is how to help the family do things, but what you think about all day long is playing. Wang Zhan, who was sitting on the side, said to his son Wang Hui next to him.

"It's not that I don't do it, it's that I don't have anything to do at home, and my mother does all the housework, do I also do sales?" said Wang Hui, who was fat, disapprovingly.

"Brother, you can also do sales, I can do it, or, let's do it for Dad on weekends in the future, Dad, how about you pay us some wages?" Wang Huixue said simply.

"Hehehe, you are helping your father do things, why do you want money, doesn't your father earn money to study, buy clothes, and buy stationery for you?" Xiao Yumei touched Wang Huixue's little brain lovingly and smiled.

"One yard to one yard, earn money for us to study, buy clothes and buy stationery, that's because he's a father, it's his responsibility, but if I help him do the work, he has to pay the salary, this is an obligation, Brother Mingchen said so. Wang Huixue tilted her head and said seriously.

"I don't want to be paid, and I don't do it. Wang Hui was not interested in getting involved, so she made her position clear.

"If my brother doesn't do it, I'll be alone...... Forget it, then I won't do it, I'll follow Brother Mingchen when he is free. Wang Huixue hesitated.

"Hehehe, this kid...... Mingchen, I almost forgot, this is your salary, come, take it. When Wang Huixue talked about wages, she reminded Wang Zhan that he hadn't paid Hu Mingchen's wages yet.

What Wang Zhan gave to Hu Mingchen was not a direct renminbi, but an envelope.

Hu Mingchen is not hypocritical, the salary is what he deserves, and it was also agreed before, so he didn't have a hypocritical excuse, and reached out to take it. It's just that Hu Mingchen didn't open the envelope to count and check whether the number was right, but folded it directly and put it in his pocket.

Hu Mingchen believes that Wang Zhan will never do that kind of thing that is given less, since he has such a determination, then why do he need to do that kind of small family thing.

"Brother Mingchen, when will you come back tomorrow?" Hu Mingchen wanted to leave, and the most reluctant was Wang Huixue, a girl.

From her dislike and contempt for Hu Mingchen at the beginning, to her closeness and even some admiration later, Wang Huixue's change in attitude towards Hu Mingchen came naturally.

Wang Huixue is sure that it is not only Hu Mingchen's sales skills, but she also admires Hu Mingchen's learning.

Hu Mingchen has to work during the day, but at night he is in a state of studying, and Hu Mingchen will turn it out and read the books that Wang Hui has studied or the extracurricular books of their family.

At first, Wang Huixue thought that Hu Mingchen was pretending, but when she learned that Hu Mingchen was the first in their school's grade, and Wang Huixue took out her summer vacation homework to test him, and Hu Mingchen could cope with it no matter how she took the test, Wang Huixue took a 180-degree turn psychologically towards Hu Mingchen.

A student in a rural school is inferior to a student in a good primary school in the city, which first makes Wang Huixue's last bit of proud capital in Hu Mingchen disappear.

In a word, no matter what it is, Hu Mingchen is better than her, better than her. And the little girl at this time is the easiest to have a sense of worship, so Hu Mingchen has become an existence that Wang Huixue needs to look up to.

"I'll come to see you when I'm free, don't worry. ”

"You have to remember to come, but no scalpers are allowed. ”

"Hehe, I promise not to be a scalper. ”

......

"A few days ago, you called back and said that my uncle's family had a quarrel with someone else's family, what was going on?"

After dinner, Wang Hui went to play with his classmates, Hu Mingchen accompanied Wang Huixue to watch TV in front of the TV, and Wang Zhan and Xiao Yumei sat next to them to talk about the situation that Xiao Yumei encountered when she returned to her hometown.

"What else can it be, isn't it just about collecting ginger? As soon as she mentioned this, Xiao Yumei also felt unfair.

"What can I do with harvesting ginger, my uncle has been doing that for several years, and besides, I heard that he didn't make an appointment with the ginger farmer in advance to purchase the conditions? Why is it still noisy?" Wang Zhan felt strange when he heard it, this situation had never happened in previous years.

"It's because of the price, people in these years are just open to money, they made an appointment before, and when they encounter money, people may not admit it. I don't know what's going on this year, the production of ginger over there has been greatly reduced, and the price has been rising. The price that was negotiated before, but the seller did not admit it, and felt that the price given by the uncle was too low, so they asked for a price increase. But the uncle thought that he had paid the deposit, and he also wrote a note, and there was no reason to increase the price, so no, they quarreled. Xiao Yumei explained.

Hu Mingchen was originally concentrating on watching TV, but when he heard Xiao Yumei and Wang Zhan talking about the acquisition of ginger, Hu Mingchen's attention was naturally attracted by the conversation between the two of them, and his ears pricked up, listening to them seriously.

Because in Duge Township, there are also many farmers who will grow ginger, and when the new ginger is on the market, some small businessmen in the city will go to Duge Township to buy it. There are two types of ginger they buy, one is fresh ginger that has been dug up from the ground, and the other is dried ginger that has been cleaned and baked. However, considering the quantity and the degree of trouble, most people sell fresh ginger, unless the quantity is large, it will be sold as dried ginger.

"That must be a sharp rise in price, if not, ordinary people will not do this kind of thing, people who grow ginger, should also hope that there is a stable buyer to come to the door, at least to solve the worries." Wang Zhan is a businessman, and he analyzes from the perspective of interests.

"Of course, it has risen sharply, and in more than half a month, the new ginger will start digging, in previous years, at this time, if you go to the door to say, five cents a pound, a good one dime a pound at most, but the current market is that no one sells five cents. Before, my uncle said to people that they would come to the door to collect six points, and if they didn't come to the door, they would receive eight points, so the price was fair. But now, some people give eight points to the door, and if they don't come to the door, they will receive a dime and two cents. You see, the price difference is 50 percent. Xiao Yumei said.

"Then it's no wonder that people are tempted, the price difference is indeed a bit big, and ...... According to this market, I am afraid that today's price will rush to a new high, and I am afraid that the dried ginger still wants to be about a pound for a dollar like in previous years, which is estimated to be impossible. Wang Zhan said.

The topic that Wang Zhan and Xiao Yumei chatted about deeply stimulated Hu Mingchen.

It was normal for the prices of agricultural products to fluctuate, but Wang Zhan and Xiao Yumei evoked a very deep memory in Hu Mingchen's mind.

In Hu Mingchen's impression, the ginger of 97 years is very different from the previous years and the following years. In 97 years ago, dried ginger was often seven or eight jiao to about one dollar, and a few years after 97 years, at most it was only sold for two or three yuan, but it was this year that the price of dried ginger soared extremely unusually, reaching eight yuan a catty.

Before being reborn, Hu Mingchen's family was able to dig three or four hundred catties of ginger, in 97 years, as soon as his ginger was dug out, someone came to collect it, the price was right, Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun sold it without hesitation, and then the price rose all the way to almost two cents, and they regretted it very much.

A month after the ginger digging season, the price of dried ginger soared to eight yuan a catty, and Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun were even more repentant.

They often say that if we knew that the price would rise like that year, our family would simply buy ginger and bake it into dried ginger to sell, and it would be distributed in a year.

The price of ginger in 97 is extremely unusual, and many years later, the old people are still talking about it.
