Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 209 Chapter 211

"I'll go and have a look." Li Xiangyang pushed the cart to the backyard, and saw Brother Yong sorting out the booth fee he received today, "I went to your house to see it, and the repair is not bad!"

Brother Yong raised his head and smiled, "Do you think those furniture are okay?"

"That's right, it will look better when it's painted." Li Xiangyang smiled.

Brother Yong took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Li Xiangyang: "Brother Shuiqing came here in the morning and told you that there must be a notice to close the market at the end of January. He also said that each of the four markets will reserve a meat stall for you." , five stalls, only pay the sanitation fee, and the stall fee will be exempted for three years."

Li Xiangyang took the letter, put it in his pocket, and looked at Brother Yong: "You tell Brother Shuiqing, it would be nice to have a few free booths, I am content."

"Hmm! I heard from Zhilin that Uncle Lin is here. I want to go to Lin Lan's house in the afternoon and meet Uncle Lin."

"It's time to meet." Li Xiangyang looked at him and said with a smile, "I plan to go to Shilian with Xiaolan when Uncle Lin returns. We are also engaged in the twelfth lunar month."

Brother Yong looked at him cheerfully: "Okay! Grandma Yang showed me the date is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Are we engaged on the same day?"

As the old saying goes, after Laba is the New Year, if you have money or not, marry a daughter-in-law to celebrate the New Year!He originally thought that he would die alone in this life, but he didn't expect that he would be in his forties by the end of the new year, and he could still find a wife and have his own home.

Li Xiangyang shook his head with a smile: "The date hasn't been confirmed yet. My old man told me to go to Xiaolan's house to get the horoscope today, and he will go to Mr. to choose a good date."

Brother Yong opened the drawer and took the money: "The things here are about the same, I'm going to buy something, let's go together."

Li Xiangyang nodded: "Alright! Let's go to Blacksmith Hou to pick up the table I ordered."

"The barbecue and hot pot tables that Lin Lan asked you to make are ready?"

"Yeah! I also ordered a few mandarin duck pots and copper hot pots. When they are ready, you will have one for each family."

"In these days, copper hot pot is good! I still ate copper pot in the army, thinly sliced ​​mutton, pork belly, meat balls..., almost broke my stomach."

"Then let's go back and get some bones, and have hot pot at Xiaolan's tonight."

The two went out together, Li Xiangyang took the big bones and pig's feet, Brother Yong bought a piece of meat and two bottles of wine, and they rode together towards Lin Lan's house.

Lin Changyou stayed at Lin Lan's house for two days, and saw that she was busy until more than ten o'clock every night before going to bed, and woke up again after five o'clock in the morning.Only then did I understand why Wu Shufen wanted to help her find someone.

Seeing the old pumpkins, big white beans, peas, and small red beans she used every day, I suddenly thought of my sister-in-law Wu Huifen. There are a lot of these things, but unfortunately there is no place to change them.

"Xiao Lan, your aunt doesn't grow much millet, but you have a lot of old pumpkins and big white beans. I want to let your aunt grow more in the spring of next year. What do you think?"

"Okay! Next year, I plan to open a pastry shop on Limin Road and Limin Road in the south of the city. I will need more pumpkins and beans. I am still worried that there will be too many people selling food next year, and I will not be able to buy raw materials. !
Lin Lan paused for a moment, then continued, "There are also soybeans, sister Liying and the others also need them. There is also your shop in the east of the city, dry goods and special products should also be prepared."

Lin Lan remembered reading a report before, saying that in the early days of opening up, all walks of life were like a dry sponge, with a little water, it would absorb it with all its strength, leaving nothing behind.

In fact, clothing, department stores, small household appliances, watch sewing machines, radio cassette recorders are the fastest-growing sources of money...

Why don't you go to Yangcheng with Xiangyang, get some electronic watches, tape recorders, radios, etc. and sell them?
Lin Changyou frowned after hearing this: "You mentioned selling local specialties last time, like our own marinated pork ribs, bacon, chicken, salted duck, goose, fungus, Chinese prickly ash, rattan pepper, etc. What are the dry goods? Plant it?"

Lin Lan said with a smile: "Dry goods include aniseed, star anise, grass fruit, star anise, cumin...big white beans, beans, peanuts...bamboo shoots!"

She remembered that in the past, Yulin, Guangxi had the most antecedents, and there was also a dry grocery wholesale market in the provincial capital, but she really didn't know where it was at the moment. .

Lin Changyou thought about it for a while, and felt that some things were in the mountains, and some seemed not. He had to ask before he knew: "Even if these things are in the mountains, I'm afraid they won't be able to collect them all in a while, so why don't we rent the shop first?" Give it to others, and we will open it after we collect it all.”

Lin Lan said: "Go back and discuss it with your eldest brother. This place has just been opened, how will the shop open, and what certificates do I need? I'll ask Xiangyang to find out."

Lin Lan remembered that the first business license was issued by the Wenzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau. I don’t know if it can be applied here. To open a shop, you must first apply for a business license. If someone is caught operating without a license, it will be troublesome.

Lin Chang nodded: "Okay, about the pumpkin beans, I will bring a letter to your aunt when I get back, and ask her to talk to the people on their team. Next year, we will go in and collect them."

Lin Lan thought that many places in the mountains are not even accessible by road these days, and the transportation depends on labor and mules and horses. They go out before dawn and only arrive in the city after dark.

If my aunt has access, I can buy a tractor and go there to collect mountain goods and sell them.

"Dad, can a tractor drive in from Auntie's place?"

Lin Changyou shook his head again and again: "Where can a tractor drive in? Most of the roads into the mountains are not as wide as the fields on your side."

Lin Lan also sighed: "I can only use mules and horses to carry them out. You ask them to make more sweet potato flour and potato flour, which are also needed in dry goods stores." If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, otherwise you will not be able to produce many good things from the mountains. exchange money.

Chief Lin nodded: "Mules and horses are fine, but they are afraid that no one will want the things after they get them out, and they won't be able to exchange them for money! I dare not give them a guarantee, but they can trust their own family."

Lin Lan washed the clothes, put the small red beans and big white beans into the pot, went out of the kitchen, and saw Lin Changyou came back from cutting bamboo to make brushes in the yard, and Lin Yuezhen was picking ramie leaves.

Thinking of the sweet-skinned duck that they ate at Yang Liqun's house that day, Dou Zi and Lin Changyou both said it was delicious. After saying hello to them, they rode to the second team's Zhao's house, planning to buy sweet-skinned duck for lunch.

The Zhao family lived in the bamboo forest behind Yang Liqun's house, and before they reached it, the smell of stewed meat wafted into their nostrils.

Lin Lan stood at the gate of Zhao's courtyard and saw that ducks were being killed in the courtyard: "Boss, I'm buying sweet-skinned ducks."

A skinny little old lady came out with a wrinkled smile on her face: "Oh! I'm sorry, I sold all the morning ones, and they are only available at three o'clock in the afternoon. Where do you live? If it's near, I'll leave it for you in the afternoon. "

"I'm in the first team. I live next to Jigeng Road. You can save two for me. I'll pick them up at six o'clock in the afternoon!" Lin Lan said and handed her two dollars, "This is the deposit."
