The entrance of the shoe store.

Because of the rainy day, the lights have been turned on.

Everywhere the light shines, there is a bustling crowd of human heads.

Most of these people are market vendors, and some are villagers from old housing estates.

They gathered in front of the shoe store, and in addition to watching the announcement on the red paper, they were more queuing up to buy shoes.

The reason why they are in such a hurry is because they are afraid that the price of the shoes in Dongju shoe store will increase too much tomorrow, which will cause them to not be able to afford them.

Although the notice did not clearly say how much the price of shoes would rise, they were all very anxious.

This is not an ecstasy drug by Liu Xing, but the shoes produced by Liu Xing's shoe store, whether it is slippers or sandals, the quality is really nothing to say.

Far from comparing, take the cloth shoes and running shoes of the supply and marketing cooperatives, the two are simply not on the same level.

First of all, the shoes made by Dongju shoe store are made of old tires, and the villagers who bought the shoes were still a little disgusted at first, but since they wore them, this dislike is no longer there.

Why do you have such an idea, because the shoes made from old tires are really fucking strong, as you can see from this heavy rain.

The running shoes and cloth shoes sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives are simply 'paper paste' in the rain, and they will be 'exposed in their original form' after walking a few miles.

On the other hand, the shoes of the insole of winter chrysanthemum, especially the slippers, walk in the muddy water, walk on the ridge full of thorns, the quality is leveraged, it is simply stepping on the mountain and crossing the water every water.

Once the price of such shoes increases, everyone is not stupid, and it must be the reason why the supply exceeds the demand.

Therefore, many villagers who have bought it, and those who know the benefits of shoes made from old tires, have not even eaten, and gathered at the gate of Dongju shoe store for the first time, ready to buy an extra pair of spares.

After all, in the early 80s, not all places sold shoes made of old tires, and it was unique in this market, unique in the entire Zhangmu Township, and unique in the entire HY City.

So if you don't buy it now, if you don't buy it, then wait and regret it!

Xiao Li, who was walking briskly on the street, was stunned when he saw the lively scene at the door of Dongju Shoe Store, not because of the business of Dongju Shoe Store, but because he really couldn't figure out why there would be people to buy it when the price went up, and there were still many people.

"Am I dazzled?"

"This ...... It's incredible!"

Xiao Li, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but exclaim.

To put it mildly, if the price of the shoes of her family's supply and marketing cooperatives suddenly rises, I am afraid that there will be no one for a long time.

"This Liu Xing is really a business wizard!"

In order to find out, Xiao Li, after careful consideration, risked being scolded, and lined up at the gate of Dongju Shoe Store with the crowd.

Inside, Liu Xing, Nai Xinru and Liu Dongju were selling shoes, and they didn't have time to wipe the sweat on their busy foreheads.

Some vendors saw the opportunity and clamored to buy a few more pairs to go back.

But they were all rejected by Liu Xing's 'righteous words'.

In a word, it is a limited supply, one pair per person, and there is no more.

Except in special circumstances.

Such an arrogant scene made Xiao Li look very envious.

She only now knows that when it comes to doing business, Liu Xing is more powerful than her, I don't know how many times.

not only invisibly resolved her tricks, but also took advantage of the situation to make a lot of money.

Seeing that in the process of queuing just now, I heard the reason for the booming business of Dongju shoe store, and there was no need to stay, so I turned around and left secretly.

Suddenly, thinking of the key point, her Danfeng's eyes lit up, and after turning her head to look at the crowded Dongju shoe store, she smiled and hurriedly accelerated the pace of her feet.

In the shoe store, Liu Dongju saw Xiao Li's distant figure, and hurriedly poked Liu Xing with his hand: "Look, look, is that Xiao Daodao's daughter Xiao Li?"

"Huh?" Liu Xing looked up at the window.

When I saw that it was really Xiao Li, I couldn't help but laugh when I was stunned.

"Are you still laughing?" Liu Dongju couldn't help but say.

"She didn't steal anything from me, so why can't I laugh. Liu Xing accepted the five yuan handed over by a vendor: "Don't forget, this time the business of our shoe store suddenly exploded, and she has her credit in it." ”

"Yes. Liu Dongju nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for Liu Xing, who took the opportunity of the supply and marketing cooperatives to reduce prices, he posted a notice of shoe store shoe price increases.

I'm afraid that these potential customers are unlikely to be in such a hurry to buy shoes.

Seeing that the shoes in the shoe cabinet by the window were all sold out, he hurriedly said to Liu Xing, and then went to the backyard to get the shoes.

Xiao Budian and Xiao Doudou Zhao Jing, who were playing at the door, saw that the adults were busy and couldn't win, so they hurriedly and consciously helped to maintain order.

Some disobedient vendors even teach by word and deed.

The scene of this person's little ghost made the busy Liu Xing look very happy.

Of course, the villagers and vendors who came to buy shoes were also very happy.

After all, not all children can be so obedient and sensible.

Night fell silently, and darkness enveloped the entire bazaar.

The booming business of Dongju shoe store finally came to an end under the urging of the heavy rain.

Seeing this, Naixin counted the banknotes, Liu Dongju did not help, but went to the kitchen to get busy.

After all, we have already eaten at this time.

Liu Xing was not idle, carefully counting the number of shoes in the shoe store.

Seeing that many styles were out of stock, my brows couldn't help frowning.

The reason why I have such an expression is because the used tires, which are used to make shoes, are also out of stock!

According to the storage amount of old tires at home, I am afraid that they will be used up in more than a month at most.

And if you wait until that time to figure out a way, I'm afraid it's too late.

Because summer is coming, the trade of slippers and sandals will only become more and more popular.

"Liu Xing, guess how much we sold this night?" Nai's crisp voice interrupted Liu Xing's thoughts.

"A thousand dollars or so!" Liu Xing replied with a smile.

"One thousand two hundred and seventy-six dollars, that is, more than two hundred pairs of shoes were sold. Nai Xinru handed Liu Xing a large stack of banknotes that had been sorted out: "Put it away, I'll also go to help cook." ”

"Go!" Liu Xing, who took the money, waved his hand.

Nai Xinru didn't leave: "Don't you order?"

"I believe in you. Liu Xing put the money in his jacket pocket, then moved a chair and sat down to drink tea.

Naixin smiled warmly in her heart, and after combing the hair in front of her forehead, she left happily.

Xiao Doudou, who was playing at the door, saw this and hurriedly followed behind.

After all, they are already hungry, and if they don't eat, they won't have the strength to be naughty.

......

This time it rained for short.

It lasted two hours before stopping.

But Liu Xing entered the dream early.

There was no way, in the early eighties, not to mention mobile phones, there was not even a TV, so I had to go to bed early to pass the long nights.

Because he went to bed early, he got up just after dawn.

After washing and eating something casually in the kitchen, he said to Liu Dongju and took the black calf home.

The reason why I am in such a hurry to go home is because tomorrow is the day of the 18th market, and this shoe store is out of stock, so I naturally want to go back and take those made shoes to buy and sell.

But what Liu Xing didn't expect was that before he walked out of the market with the black calf, he met Huang Xiao who drove quickly in front of him with a tractor.

Huang Xiao obviously didn't see Liu Xing, otherwise he would definitely stop and say hello.

But this is not the key, the key is that Huang Xiao's tractor cargo box is full of waste tires.

Looking at the direction, it seems that he is going to the supply and marketing cooperative, which makes Liu Xing can't help but be vigilant.

Just as he was about to take the black calf and take a look, an even more incredible scene happened in the next second.

In the potholed streets, several tractors appeared, and their open-air containers were all loaded with piles of old and tall waste tires.

As for the direction of driving, they are all heading towards the supply and marketing cooperatives.

After a while, they all stopped at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Then I saw a few tractor drivers helping to move the waste tires down and then send them to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xiao Li and Xiao Yang walked out at this time, and each tractor driver was equipped with a pack of cigarettes.

When Liu Xing saw this, he was stupid and knew what was going on.

This Xiao Li is really haunted.

actually thought of using his connections to buy a large number of scrap tires to suppress the business of his shoe store.

Or Xiao Li also wants to use waste tires to make shoes to get a piece of the pie, in a word, Xiao Li is not good at coming this time.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing smiled bitterly.

But no anger.

Because only he knows that if you want to make shoes from waste tires, it is not as easy as you imagined, at least not in a short time.

But this is a bad sign.

After all, in any case, using waste tires to make shoes is not a rocket, and it will be broken in the future.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Liu Xing did not go to make trouble with Xiao Li.

Instead, he led the black calf along the street of the bazaar and walked silently in the direction of saltpeter village.

But he didn't go far, and he was caught up by Huang Xiao, who was driving a tractor: "Liu Xing, wait a minute, let's have a good chat." ”

"What is there to talk about. Liu Xing stopped.

"I knew you were going to misunderstand me. After Huang Xiao parked the tractor, he came to Liu Xing's side: "The waste tires that Xiao Yang came to me to transport this time are not the source of goods I provide, but they used their connections and connections to find them, and I just made some freight." ”

"And let me tell you, the tires delivered this time are all from QD City and CS City. After a pause, Huang Xiao added.

"Huh, so far?" Liu Xing was slightly taken aback.

This Xiao Li, in order to deal with him, is really willing to sacrifice her blood!

"What's the use of being far away, when his mother settled the freight just now, he only gave me two yuan for shipping, which is too picky. Huang Xiao took out a cigarette and lit it: "According to this situation now, the Xiao family obviously wants to rob your shoe store business! ”

"But I don't have many scrap tires in my hand!" Liu Xing smiled bitterly.

"You haven't thought about using other materials instead, that Lu Jun has found you before, right?" asked Huang Xiao taking a deep puff of his cigarette.

The resources of scrap tires are limited, and they are gone after one use.

If you want to do business in the long run, you must have a steady supply of materials.

Otherwise, like this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives will monopolize waste tires, and it will be a big trouble.

"I've looked for it, but I've been busy lately! I don't have time to contact him. Liu Xing replied.

"I know you're busy. Huang Xiao stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xing's shoulder: "Then otherwise, I'll go around other counties and cities for you, and transport a few truckloads of waste tires for you to deal with emergencies?"

"Not for the time being, because a few cars of waste tires can't solve the root of the problem. Liu Xing sighed lightly: "When I go back and think about it, if I need your help, I will go to the black market to find you." ”

"Okay!" Huang Xiao nodded.

Seeing that a tractor was coming, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said goodbye to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing did not stay in place, but rode the black calf in the direction of saltpeter village.

......

An hour later.

Liu Xing rode a black calf and took a shortcut to the village road of saltpeter village.

To his great surprise, the originally muddy country roads, especially those places that used to be potholes, were now covered with a thick layer of black slag, and more than one or two meters away, starting from the door of the fifth uncle's house and continuing to the foot of Shiniu Mountain.

The black calf walked on it, and it was like walking on the ground, and there was no longer the feeling of one foot deep and one foot shallow.

That is to say, the current saltpeter village road can be opened to traffic in heavy rain, and it will no longer be trapped, which can be seen from the tire prints on the slag.

"Who did this?" Liu Xing hurriedly tightened the bull rope, allowing the black calf to speed up his progress.

After turning a mountain col and seeing the situation on the rural road at the foot of Shiniu Mountain in front of him, he realized that this was Li Dawei's masterpiece.

At this time, Li Dawei was standing on a small hillside with one hand on his waist, holding a loudspeaker and directing hundreds of villagers to carry slag to repair the road, and there were two old-fashioned excavators on the side to sort out the road, which was in full swing.

As for where the slag came from, Liu Xing looked at the intersection, good guys, there were five large trucks parked waiting to unload the slag.

If it weren't for the fear of being stuck on the country road, I was afraid that these big trucks would drive to unload the slag.

"Li Dawei really did a good thing for Saltpeter Village this time. After coming back to his senses, Liu Xing got off the back of the cow, led the black calf and walked towards Li Dawei's location.

Before he arrived, he saw Wu Ju driving a jeep with Zhang Xiangjun slowly coming.

"Uncle, aunt, it's morning!" Liu Xing stood on the country road and hurriedly waved his hand to say hello.

"Early. Wu Ju stepped on the brakes and parked the jeep in front of Liu Xing: "To make a long story short, there are very important things in the bureau that I want to go back to preside, so I can't stay at your house for longer." ”

"I know. Liu Xinglian nodded.

"As for the road building. Wu Ju turned his head to look at Li Dawei on the small uphill slope, with a smile in his eyes: "This time you have to thank people, since you left yesterday, he proposed a plan to build the road with Secretary Yan, and then in the afternoon, let the truck driver of Hengshui Distillery transport the slag to the village road of saltpeter village, and move forward while paving the road, so to speak, except for the time when it rained at night, he commanded the men, women and children of saltpeter village to not rest until now!"

"Why are you in such a hurry!" Liu Xing was puzzled.

Road repair is a big project, although now the slag is very simple, as long as someone has the tools that are very fast, but there is no need to rush so much!

"Alas, do you think Lao Li has time to spend in Saltpeter Village! He's busy now!" Wu Ju sighed lightly: "If he hadn't known that the speed of paving the road with this slag was very fast, he wouldn't have done this." ”

"Of course, the most important thing is to ask you to help repair the wine filling equipment of Hengshui Distillery as soon as possible. Zhang Xiangjun, the co-pilot, reminded with a smile.

"I know. Liu Xing nodded.

To be honest, this move has changed his opinion of Li Dawei a lot.

After all, not everyone can have such courage, say that the road will be built, and the length of more than ten kilometers has been completed overnight.

Although it is said that there are also the merits of hundreds of villagers in saltpeter village, if it were not for Li Dawei to call the driver to load the slag and transfer the excavator, I am afraid that no one can do it.

"I know that when you wait for Li Dawei to buy all the materials, you will repair the wine filling equipment for others. Wu Ju looked at the time on his watch: "By the way, what happened to Liu Siwen's 20,000 yuan being robbed yesterday?"

Zhang Xiangjun also listened curiously.

Although it is certain that it was not Liu Xing's doing.

But I still want to know the unknown inside story.

Liu Xing smiled when he heard this: "I didn't know the specifics at the time, but later I heard from the neighbors on the street of the market that Liu Siwen and Lu Su showed off their wealth with 20,000 yuan and looked down on the two people who robbed, which finally led to the tragedy." ”

"By the way, uncle, how could you receive this news from me?" After a pause, Liu Xing asked angrily.

"It was Tian Jun who came to tell me early in the morning. Wu Ju replied.

"As soon as your uncle heard the news, tears of laughter came out. Zhang Xiangjun added teasingly.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not laughing. Wu Ju was very serious at first when he heard this, but soon he couldn't help but smile: "This Liu Siwen and Lu Su also deserve it, you said that they didn't go back on their word, how could they encounter such an unlucky thing, don't say it, I will go back to deal with their affairs, as well as the escort of Xiao Daodao." ”

"His verdict is coming down?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm. Wu Ju made a motion to wipe his neck, and after reaching out and patting Liu Xing's shoulder, he drove away in the jeep.

Liu Xing watched the jeep disappear from sight, and after coming back to his senses, he took the black calf and walked towards Li Dawei.

I don't know why, I was worried that Xiao Li would be ruthless to his shoe store.

But now that he heard the news, he was not worried at all.

Because Xiao Li's own troubles have not been solved yet!

At least for a short period of time, Xiao Daodao's matter will definitely affect all of Xiao Li's plans for him.

In other words, he didn't have to worry about the means Xiao Li would use against him next.

This really corresponds to the old saying, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
