1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Dad, when can we go eat the delicious meat?"

At noon the next day, looking at the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in his small bowl, Doudou asked with a little disdain.

"Wait a little longer, wait for the big truck to come back, and then arrange to distribute the money to the villagers, then we can go to Uncle Zhou to eat the delicious meat." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Besides, isn't there meat here? It's also delicious meat, and it's never frozen. Dad was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so he went to the town to chop it today."

"Then it's shredded meat, and the strips are so thin. Doudou wants to eat a big piece, so delicious that it will get stuck in your teeth when you bite it." Doudou said seriously.

"Hahahaha, yes, you have to eat big pieces of meat." Zhou Fengxia added happily.

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes, "Let's just eat some first, we'll have big pieces of meat tonight. Then we'll bring Brother Zhou with us, we'll drink and eat meat, so he can't drink and drive for us."

"Yeah, eating meat is fine." Doudou nodded.

This was also a phased victory in the negotiation, and then the little guy waved the little spoon and ate happily.

You see she was so disgusted just now, but now this little guy is putting spoonful after spoonful into his mouth.

"Hey..., yesterday everyone was looking forward to cutting mushrooms and not having a good meal. Today they are looking forward to sharing the money and not having a good meal, and Dayou didn't even say to call back." Chen Tiezhu said after eating two bites.

"I guess, if he didn't call back, it means everything went well. Besides, you guys also did some promotion in the market earlier, I think there should be no problem."

"You have done such a detailed sales job. If it still doesn't sell well, it's not the problem of these mushrooms and your sales, but the problem of the entire market environment."

"Okay, your consolation is better than nothing." Chen Tiezhu nodded, picked up his big bowl, and continued to drink porridge.

"Ding, ding..."

While drinking, a horn sounded at the door.

Chen Tiezhu looked up in confusion and immediately became smiling. What porridge is there? He ran out happily.

Zhou Fengxia also took a look and knew why Chen Tiezhu was so overjoyed.

Because not only the truck came back, but Han Xiuying also came back.

"Yingzi, why are you back too?" Chen Tiezhu shouted happily.

This made Liu Dayou, who was carrying a bag of money and wanted to report the good news, open his mouth but dared not say a word.

"There is nothing going on over there. Leave two comrades to make some arrangements and they will be back tomorrow. I think I have nothing to do, so I will come back with the car first." Han Xiuying said, and her eyes also looked away.

Slightly worried.

Usually at home, I feel a little annoyed when I see this thing. But after going to the provincial capital, I tossed and turned in the guesthouse last night and couldn't sleep. This thing was always hanging in front of me.

"Hehe, it's good. There's nothing interesting about taking the train. It's just right to take you to eat delicious meat in the evening, just as if I had a half-day off."

Chen Tiezhu said happily, and naturally took Han Xiuying's hand and walked into the house.

Liu Dayou was so worried, he was really redundant.

"Come in quickly, I'll make you some more shredded pork dumpling soup. We've served all the porridge we made at noon."

At this time, Chen Tiezhu called out.

"Tiezhu, don't you care how much our mushrooms sell for in the market?"

After entering the house, Liu Dayou asked in confusion.

"It can't be more than one yuan. They are basically sold wholesale, right?" Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Manager Chen, you are really amazing. Can you guess how much it is?" The driver gave a thumbs up.

"I guess it should be 90 cents..."

When Chen Tiezhu said this, he paused for a moment and noticed that Liu Dayou's eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Well, it should be around 95 cents." Chen Tiezhu added happily.

"Master Wang, we can't play tricks with him at all." Liu Dayou said with a wry smile.

"It's exactly 95 cents. If they sell it, they should be able to sell it for about 1.1 yuan. Then I took a deposit of 30 cents for each wooden box. When I deliver mushrooms next time, I will exchange boxes for boxes."

"That's great, Comrade Yingzi, please take the trouble to run a trip. Go to the village and shout with a loud speaker. Then you can go to the brigade to share the money." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Why don't you go and shout?" Han Xiuying said.

"I have to cook for you. It's just right to eat when I come back. Be good, go." Chen Tiezhu said coaxingly.

Han Xiuying bit her lip habitually, knowing that this guy wanted toThis glorious task was given to me.

"Doudou, have you finished eating? Let me take you out to play." Han Xiuying called out.

"Yeah."

Doudou put down the small bowl he had drunk from and followed him happily.

"Ah..., this is so unfair. Brother Tiezhu can do anything and make money." Zhou Fengxia sighed.

"Of course, it will be ready soon. This thing is easy to make."

Chen Tiezhu said happily, and then he started to do it.

"Comrades, please pay attention, comrades, please pay attention. Um... Sister Yingzi, what are you going to say after this?"

"Pay money, I'll give you money in a while."

"Yes, give money, I'll give you money in a while. Sister Yingzi, will we eat meat after this?"

"Eat meat, eat meat, say it again, in case you didn't hear it."

...

Listening to the conversation between Doudou and Han Xiuying coming from the loudspeaker, not only Chen Tiezhu was happy, but also the villagers of Erdaoling Village.

Everyone knew that they could share money today, and they knew how much they would share, but they didn't expect it to be so soon, and they thought they had to wait until the evening.

"By the way, how do you sell the mushrooms of Lao Zhang's family?" Liu Dayou asked curiously.

"I drove to the county to sell them this morning." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"In fact, I really can't figure out what kind of courage they have to keep looking for you?" Liu Dayou asked.

"How should I know? I just can't think straight." Chen Tiezhu said.

"How much loss can we expect when transporting these mushrooms to the provincial capital? The distance is still quite far, and the road is not so smooth. Master Wang has worked hard on this journey."

"The loss is not very big. Master Wang drives very steadily." Liu Dayou said.

"It's nothing. If we can get the goods back from the provincial capital, the freight here can be much cheaper." Master Wang said.

"It doesn't matter. Next time, we will contact each other in advance, so that you can earn more." Chen Tiezhu nodded with a smile.

For him, this is not a big deal. The profit margin of the first batch of mushrooms is so high that it can be described as terrifying in this era.

He can really walk around Erdaoling Village with his hands in his pockets.
