Ate lunch.

After resting for a while, Liu Dazhao rode the 28 bars to Wang Dazhu's house.

Liu Xing was not idle, took the black calf out of the bullpen, and walked towards HY City with the washed snails.

Because there was no one to take care of the melon seeds at home, I brought them with me.

Anyway, he'd been there before, so he wasn't worried about safety at all.

In order to rush to HY City as soon as possible, he did not walk, but sat on the back of the black calf with the melon seeds in his arms and moved forward as fast as he could.

The black calf knows that if he goes to HY City, he will eat good things, so he is working hard this time.

But even so, it took more than four o'clock in the afternoon to arrive at HY City.

Although it was more than half the time faster than walking at night, the black calf was too tired to do it.

Liu Xing saw that he was strong, got off the back of the cow with melon seeds, and then shouted to buy river snails while walking.

To his surprise, there were many people watching the excitement, but there were very few people buying, and most of them were very dissatisfied with the price of four cents a catty.

Liu Xing was afraid that the snail would not be sold, so he took the black calf and walked to the street where he bought the snail yesterday.

As he passed by the Hengshui Distillery, he stopped.

I wanted to go to the cafeteria to find Wang Zhongyu to sell the conch according to the contact information given by Wang Zhongyu, but in the end, he still dispelled this idea.

After all, Wang Zhongyu wanted shallots and wild celery, not river snails.

"Brother, are we selling conch here?" Seeing that the surroundings were very lively, the melon seed couldn't help but ask with his little head up.

"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded, and was about to clear his throat and shout a few times, when a flat-headed middle-aged man in work clothes walked over.

"Uncle, do you want to buy a conch?"

The melon seeds asked crisply, and as soon as the sweet and glutinous voice came out, it suddenly made people's hearts almost crispy.

The flat-headed middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's really not easy to come out with my brother to sell conch at such a young age!"

However, after seeing the melon seeds barefoot, the smile on his face disappeared, and after a light sigh, he asked Liu Xing: "How do you sell river snails?"

"Four cents a pound. Liu Xing replied.

"It's expensive, I saw three cents and five pounds in the Donghe vegetable market a few days ago!" said the flat-headed middle-aged man.

"Are the whelks in the vegetable market big?" The melon seeds reached out and grabbed a few snails and handed them to the flat-headed middle-aged man.

"Not really. The flat-headed middle-aged man smiled and reached out to pick up the melon seeds.

Liu Xing didn't stop it, because he could see that the middle-aged man with a flat head liked melon seeds very much, otherwise he would never talk to him at the gate of Hengshui Distillery.

"Since there is none, the whelch of the nest is not expensive at all. The melon seed replied timidly.

"Haha...... There's nothing wrong with that. The flat-headed middle-aged man put down the melon seeds and said to Liu Xing: "Give me a dollar." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing hurriedly complied.

But for a dollar of conch, he gave a flat-headed middle-aged man more than three catties.

After all, in the 80s, even pork ribs were only six cents a catty, and this snail cost four cents a catty.

The flat-headed middle-aged man looked like a person who often buys vegetables, he checked the weight of the river snail with his hand, and saw that it was much heavier than he imagined, so he couldn't help but nodded: "Young man, you are very practical in business, this is a dollar, you have collected it." ”

"It's all in the river, and I can't even lose my conscience just because I make a few bucks. Liu Xing took the money with a light smile.

This is true. The flat-headed middle-aged man looked at the time: "Otherwise, I will take you to the family building of Hengshui Distillery to sell, there are many people there, as long as you are affordable, your two bamboo baskets of conch will definitely be sold out quickly." ”

"But...... But I can't go in the Hengshui Distillery!" Liu Xing scratched his head in embarrassment.

He's not stupid, Hengshui Distillery was a big factory in the eighties, and it was strictly managed!

If a rural person like him enters without the relevant documents, he is afraid that he will be arrested and imprisoned.

This is not alarmism, but fact.

"I said you can get in, what are you afraid of. After the flat-headed middle-aged man said this, he walked in front and led the way.

Liu Xing hesitated for a moment before holding the melon seeds in one hand and the black calf in the other hand and following behind.

The two security guards at the door saw the flat-headed middle-aged man coming over with two rural babies, and hurriedly straightened his waist: "Hello Director Li!"

"Hmm!" The flat-headed middle-aged man nodded slightly, and walked into the Hengshui Distillery with his hands behind his back.

Liu Xing was almost shocked when he saw this scene.

It's melon seeds, and it's a little confused.

This flat-headed middle-aged man doesn't seem to be good-looking, but he is actually the director of Hengshui Distillery, which is incredible!

At the door of the dormitory building, the flat-headed middle-aged man, who is Director Li, stopped: "You wait first, I'll help you notify the family members who need the conch, but first say okay, the price of the snail can't be too high, can you accept three cents a catty?"

"If you can, the door of this Hengshui Distillery will be open for you at any time in the future. After a pause, Director Li added.

"What's unacceptable about this, I'm naturally happy if you're happy. Liu Xinglian said.

"That's good!" Director Li stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xing's shoulder, turned around and walked towards the door of one of the dormitory buildings.

Liu Xing and the melon seeds waited quietly.

I thought I would have to wait ten minutes.

Who would have thought that it would take less than a minute.

Dozens of people ran out of the hallway of the dormitory, all of them women and old people, holding basins and woven bags in their hands, which were used to hold river snails.

The melon seeds were frightened by this battle, and even Liu Xing was a little confused.

For their brothers and sisters, the appeal of this Director Li is really great!

Seeing that there were still people running out of the corridor one after another, Liu Xing hurriedly came back to his senses, picked up the small scale, and began to sell the conch.

As for the price, after saying three cents a catty, he naturally will not regret it.

Seeing that Liu Xing's busy forehead was sweating, Guazi hurriedly helped collect the money on the side, and put the gross tickets and sub-tickets into his chest pocket.

After more than ten minutes of hard work, it was stuffed to the brim and couldn't be put down.

I had no choice but to find a woven bag instead.

Director Li didn't know when he would come back, so he watched with a light smile and helped carry the bag from time to time.

Although there are more than 200 catties of two bamboo baskets, there are more than 200 catties, but they can't stand the crowd, and it only takes half an hour of work to sell out, and there is not a single one left.

Liu Xing sat on the ground tiredly and panted.

But the melon seeds didn't have anything to do, so he took out all the money in his chest pocket and the money in the plastic bag, sorted it out and handed it to Liu Xing.

When I counted it, there were sixty-three pieces.

In other words, although I was in a hurry just now.

But none of the residents of Hengshui Distillery came to mess around.

Otherwise, I would not have received so much money.

"The harvest is good!" said Director Li on the side with a light smile.

"Thank you for your help. Liu Xing stood up from the ground.

"Don't say that, it's because your conch is big, that's why it sells so well!" Director Li looked at the time on his watch: "It's not early, where do you live, if it's far away, go back quickly." ”

"My family is in saltpeter village. Liu Xing replied after collecting the money.

"Oh my God, that's far enough!" said Director Li with a frown.

"It's a bit far, but I'm not afraid of it, and I should be able to get home before dark. Liu Xing stretched out his hand and patted the black calf, picked up the melon seeds and sat down.

"You're very special, I used to herd cows when I was a kid, and I know it's hard to get cows to be obedient. Director Li smiled: "Go back quickly! If you want to come to the door of the dormitory building to sell the agricultural products in it, just report my name of 'Li Dawei' at the door." ”

"Thank you. Liu Xing climbed on the back of the black calf: "My name is Liu Xing, my sister's name is Liu Qingmei, you can call her melon seeds." ”

"Thank you, I know the hardships of the countryside, by the way! Go back and buy a pair of shoes for your sister, it's not a matter of going barefoot. Director Li advised.

"Hey!" Liu Xinglian nodded, tightened the ox rope and let the black calf leave the dormitory building.

"Goodbye, uncle, next time I come to you, I will bring you the fat girl!"

"Fat and good??" Director Li was stunned.

"It's crabs, river crabs in the river. Liu Xing explained.

"Hahaha...... Okay, I'm waiting for your fat boy. Director Li couldn't help but look up and laugh.

For him.

This little girl named Liu Qingmei is really cute.

Seeing that their brother and sister riding a buffalo had disappeared from sight, the smile on Director Li's face also disappeared, replaced by seriousness, and the workers passing by around saw this scene and hurriedly hid away, but they were very curious about the laughter before.

Because Director Li is a person who doesn't smile, the last time I saw him laugh was a year ago......

......
