Chapter 40 The big scene in Lijiagou

(Thanks to friend 08a, Baby Panda for rewarding and encouraging)
The battle for the purchase of corn in Liu Fugui's family has begun.This is really a rare big scene in Lijiagou for so many years.

As a mountain village, it is really difficult to find a wide and flat place.If you imagine that every family has a big yard like in the northern plains, that would be even more impossible.

The entire Lijiagou can be found near the foot of the mountain, so it is shared by the whole village.

Some people say, why not search further?When you reach the real foot of the mountain, isn't it flat?In fact, it really doesn't work.This is a courtyard, you have to consider the drainage problem.

The foot of the mountain is indeed more flat and spacious, but as long as it rains, the water will flow there.If you dry food, can you do it?
For this purchase of corn, Liu Fugui was well prepared.Not only did I go to the bank to get cash, but I also bought two electronic scales.One is reserved for selling vegetables in the future, and the other is bigger for weighing corn and selling pigs in the future.

The iron frame is easier to get. You can go directly to the repair department in the town to weld one, and it doesn't cost much.It is more expensive to buy ready-made.

There are many people who come to watch the fun, adults and children, watching the corn being pulled over, weighed and piled aside.After collecting the family, Liu Fugui counted the tickets.

And Liu Fugui didn't talk about rounding up, he would just round it up for you.Even if there is an extra dollar, I will give you a ten-yuan ticket.

Although it is a small trick, it can "buy" some people's hearts to some extent.Now it doesn't matter if the big guy requisitioned the yard because he harvested corn, but how long has it been?Then there is no gossip if I can't help it.

"Brother Fugui, when are we going to call the person who beats the corn?" Liu Pingan asked after finishing the house and sitting down to drink tea.

"It's the day after tomorrow. Don't worry about the slowness of the collection, it's very fast. People count money according to time, so don't waste it. If it wasn't because of the limited space, I would have waited until all the collections were finished before playing." Liu Fugui said. .

Liu Pingan nodded, "That's indeed the case."

"Father, I'll eat it for you." At this time, Lele ran over from the side carrying a Tian Tian.

Liu Fugui rolled a bunch of them, "Lele will eat the rest. Grandma gave stewed meat at home. I must eat more at noon."

"Well, Dad, can I go and play with them?" Lele nodded vigorously, then asked the children who were running wildly in the yard.

"Lele, you can't do it now, but don't worry, it will be almost the same next year. Then you can run and dance like them, okay?" Liu Fugui coaxed.

The little guy Mingxi was a little unhappy, but he nodded obediently, and then sat on Liu Fugui's lap to eat every day.

Liu Fugui also wanted his daughter to play with the children so that she would be happy.But now Lele's body is really not good.The children went crazy as soon as they played, and they were worried that Lele's illness would be repeated.

The little guy is really well-behaved, Liu Fugui said he couldn't play for the time being, so he stayed there obediently, eating every day.

Another cartload of corn was pulled over. For the time being, Liu Fugui didn't need to do this job, Xiao Ping'an did it directly.He is now Liu Fugui's number one subordinate, isn't he, or the joint commander-in-chief?

"Dad, can you still send them over later?" Liu Fugui asked Liu Changshun who was following in the car.

Liu Changshun nodded with a smile, "There are still six mule carts on the road behind, and the dog rides a rabbit and runs fast. I'll go to the town to buy something later. I've been in a hurry these days, and I forgot that today is ten. First of the month."

"Yeah, I forgot too, I used to watch it when I was in the city." Liu Fugui said with a wry smile.

After living at home for a long time, he found that he seemed to be a little lazy.When I was in Yanbei City before, no matter what day of the week or holidays, I could remember it clearly.But back home, these are a little fuzzy.

Seeing that Liu Pingan and his men had finished unloading the car, Liu Fugui unpacked a pack of cigarettes and each threw a pack over.The rest are also put on the side, whoever draws.

Smoking is harmful to health, everyone knows this.But this time he was called for help, and there were not only cigarettes but also drinks prepared on the side.

Cigarettes, whether people smoke or not is their business.If you don't prepare for it, it's your business, and people will say you are stingy.And even though it's autumn, the autumn tiger bites people more fiercely, so I have to get everyone something to drink to quench their thirst.

These are actually small things, and they don’t cost a lot of money, but if you do your job well, everyone will be happy, and you will be motivated to work.

"Fugui, are you really going to grow up?" Zhang Zhu, a childhood playmate who was one year older than Liu Fugui, sat over and asked.

"Zhuzi, I still want to ask you for advice, but I didn't dare to come to the door because I was afraid that you would misunderstand." Liu Fugui said.

"Have you lost your mind, kid? Back then, if I lost money, I lost it, and there's nothing shameful about it." Zhang Zhu said with a smile.

"What happened at the beginning?" Liu Fugui asked.

"Hey, it's not because of lack of experience." Zhang Zhu sighed.

"At the beginning, I didn't think too much. Considering that there are vegetables in the shed, we can make money. But these businessmen are too fucked up, and they can't give a price at all."

"Get up in the middle of the night to pick vegetables, and drag them to the wholesale market under the stars. A group of vegetable vendors will surround you. Basically, the price they set is the decisive price. If you want to sell it, you won't be able to sell it."

"Later, I was dragged to the county again, which was similar to the town. The wholesale market there was bigger, but it was even more difficult to mix. Later, when I got angry, I stripped the shed. It was hard work and suffering. I’m so angry, I feel that the money is not worth it even if I earn it.”

Liu Fugui nodded, "I really need to pay attention to this matter. Zhuzi, at least you have been in this line of work, so what should you do safely?"

"Eggplants, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, these are some home-cooked dishes. Although beans are profitable, they are too hard. They have to be picked at least once every two days. Even if they are a little older, they can't be sold at a high price." Zhang Zhu thought for a while and said.

"Brother Zhuzi, are there still people bullying the market these days?" Little Ping'an next to him asked curiously.

Zhang Zhu was delighted, "This is not bullying the market, it's market conditions. We are a small family, and there are too few dishes, so they won't lower the price for you."

"It's all normal. I'll look for a way out when the time comes." Liu Fugui said with a smile.

At this time, a long carriage drove over.This time Liu Fugui couldn't rest anymore, so he put Xiao Lele aside.There are too many cars, and these people are all called to help. It would be shameless for you, the master, to watch the excitement.
