National Tide 1980.

Chapter 14

The next morning.

While the stars were still blinking in the sky that turned from pitch black to deep blue.

Ning Weimin was already carrying a large bag, got on the bus, and headed straight for the eastern suburbs garbage dump.

But it's different from every day in the past.

On this day, when he smelled the stinky smell again and handed the watch to the "General" in public, it aroused unprecedented enthusiasm among the blind people.

For nothing else, no one thought that he could really buy a watch.

To be honest, "General" didn't sleep well last night at all.

Don't look at the generosity of his mouth, but his heart is still quite drummed.

Since yesterday Ning Weimin left with copper, he began to regret and worry.

It wasn't until this morning when I saw Ning Weimin again that my heart was at ease.

Of course, the scene that surprised him the most.

It must be a dream come true, watching the moment Ning Weimin took out the watch from his arms.

Under the sunlight, the "Peacock" brand watch shone brightly, making him dizzy.

He couldn't wait to get it in his hand, and then he looked over and over again.

That excitement.

He rubbed it in his ear and listened to the sound, so happy that he was speechless.

It's really more beautiful than someone who got a Rolex gold watch 40 years later.

Later, under Ning Weimin's reminder, he woke up and put the watch on his wrist solemnly.

It is conceivable that even if he is like this, what kind of greed do other blind streamers have?

Many "heroes" witnessed this ostentation, and no one was in the mood to work.

So all of a sudden, Wuyang poured down from all the "mountains".

Either they envy the "General", ask what brand the watch is, and praise it again and again.

Or he was pestering Ning Weimin to ask how much the watch cost and how he bought it.

Even the two idiots who asked him to bring daily necessities yesterday couldn't even bother to inspect their own goods.

He kept pulling on Ning Weimin and strongly demanded to buy a watch for both of them.

As a result, as soon as they opened the door, they responded with a lot of responses.

Almost all the blind streamers are excited, arguing and arguing, and they have to turn watch buying into a group participation activity.

There is no doubt that this is a great deed that Ning Weimin could not wish for!

He said in his heart that what this old man Kang expected was true.

The first business he made really had a demonstrative effect and brought him new business.

But then again, it's okay, he really can't agree right away.

Because he knows very well that the harder something is obtained, the more desirable it is.

If he wants to get more benefits from it, he has to whet the appetite of these bastards first.

In addition, he also knew very well in his heart that the "General" might not be happy about this.

Because these days, people buy watches not just to watch the time, but also to satisfy their personal vanity.

"General" as the head of the blind runners, as the first person to buy a watch.

Of course, I don't want others to buy after my ass.

So why does he seem so different?

So if you want to do this business, you have to stretch it first, and you can't hate the "general" because of it.

So... what should we do?

Hey, didn't the old man Kang already taught him yesterday, he had to be considered reliable.

In his own understanding, what the old man said "like that" is actually "pretend".

That is, "life is like a play, it all depends on acting".

who is he?

That is the master who has watched Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy".

The basic qualities of an actor are of course possessed.

So it went smoothly into the performance state.

He deliberately pretended that he couldn't stand the harassment of the blind liuzi, and with a bitter face, he was wronged with the "general".

It probably means that the watch he bought for the "General" actually cost ten yuan more than the official store price because he didn't have an industrial coupon.

Moreover, the amount of copper he took away yesterday was not so substantial, and he was given less money than expected.

In this way, in order to buy this watch, he put it in for about 15 yuan.

Although he bought things for the "General", he was willing to do nothing.

But why do others want him to suffer such a big loss?

Besides, if everyone asked him to buy a watch, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

So he begged the "general" to "maintain justice" for him.

Hey, these words made the "General" listen to the absolute benefit.

He also misunderstood how much he took advantage of himself, and was very happy.

So he patted Ning Weimin on the shoulder and told him not to worry.

But the blind streamers were afraid that the "general" would interfere, and they were a little anxious.

Especially the two people who first proposed to buy a watch just now couldn't wait to shout.

One took the initiative to offer Ning Weimin conditions.

"Can't we give you more copper? Give you five more pounds, no, six more..."

The other begged "General".

"Brother, how can we compare with you? I didn't say that we want to take advantage of this kid. Don't listen to him..."

After speaking, he opened the "Beihai" brand cigarettes that Ning Weimin had just bought, and stuffed a whole box of "General".

In this way, Ning Weimin played a small trick and made everyone mess around.

"General" not only did not stop the matter, but took the initiative to mediate for the two sides.

The price of the watch was lifted because of the impatience of the blind people.

So Ning Weimin got his wish.

When he went back that day, not counting his own output, he took a full [-] catties of selected copper.

You don't need to do any careful calculations, and you know that today's business will definitely make more money than yesterday.

And this is just a watch.

There were more than a dozen people waiting in line at the back.

So even if he had to face the stares of the conductors and passengers again, Ning Weimin didn't care at all.

Even on the bus, thinking about the long period of time in the future, I can earn 100 yuan a day.

And the 100 yuan per day can also be converted into a full-page monkey ticket.

He felt as good as drinking alcohol.

What's wrong with picking up junk?

Thousands of rivers return to the sea, as long as they can earn money.

The form of labor is nothing but the value of labor!

Hey, just relying on us, with no effort, we can earn several months' wages for ordinary people in a day.

Who looks down on who?

If I even count the monkey tickets I bought, I will earn [-] to [-] in the future!

Hey, it sounds like a legend, even I adore myself!

The complacent Ning Weimin hummed a little tune happily all the way back.

After getting out of the car, because I was impatient to go home, I desperately wanted to tell Master about the good things that happened again today.

I don't know where the strength came from, he didn't even take a break, and directly put the copper back into the waste station.

After the copper was sold, he turned around and ran to the trust store.

This time I spent 70 yuan to buy an old Pearl brand watch.

Then he took the medicine according to the prescription and sent it to the "Morning Bell" to ask the watchmaker to help with the renovation.

Next, go to the post office to buy stamps.

But so far, it's a little different from yesterday.

Because Ning Weimin didn't buy anything to eat or drink anymore, but instead went home while the watch was being refurbished.

Not for anything else, just because I sold an extra 20 yuan today, and the consumption method can be upgraded.

He wanted to invite Kang Shude to go to the restaurant together, and then have a good celebration.

Needless to say, as soon as he saw Kang Shude, Ning Weimin just bragged about what happened that day.

After placing the stamps he bought in the camphor wood box, he said with a smile that he would eat outside instead of home at night.

How can I know it's a good thing, but Kang Shude shook his head and said that he burned the buns, and taught him that a good life can't be over.

I'm quite worried that he won't be able to stop spending money lavishly.

I'm afraid that in addition to buying monkey tickets, he will add a prodigal problem of being drunk today.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin would coax people and quickly make a statement, so that the matter was not really spoiled.

"Master, why don't you do it as a routine? This is my intention, just to make up for a formal apprenticeship banquet."

"Yesterday's meal was a bit miserable. If I sent you off with pig head meat and Laobaigan, I'll be ashamed when I think about it in the future. At the very least, I have to treat you to a roast duck."

"Hey, I've figured it out. When we're full, don't worry about coming back. I'll take you to take a bath again, when you're comfortable. Let's make a pot of tea and talk about the past together. Son."

"As for tomorrow, let's live as it is, okay? Don't worry, it's just a meal, I won't become a dummy..."

In this way, Kang Shude thought about it, the craftsmanship of the famous shop was really greedy, and he really wanted to take a bath.

It doesn't hold up anymore.

"Forget it, it's rare for you to have this kind of heart, so I'll give you a face today. Make it auspicious, 'Judequan'. It's fate for us to get together."

Ning Weimin was happy.

"Yes, Master, then I'll lead the way, let's walk."

This is called, roast duck, I think about you day and night, and today I will get my wish.
