Back to 1988, in order to lay down liver skills

Chapter 16 Jianlibao and Instant Noodles

Yan Changqing sat on the bus with some resentment. He was not resentful because he was sitting near the corridor. If he was not near the window, he would not be able to blow the air. He could only smell the sweaty smell in the carriage in the stuffy heat.

Yan Erhe, whose wealth has soared, has more than 200 yuan around his waist. He thinks that money is more valuable than his nephew, so it is outrageous to ask his nephew to sit outside to block him.

The two argued as they walked, Yan Changqing wanted to buy a cow, even if he couldn't buy an adult cow, he could just buy a calf first.

Yan Erhe weakly expressed his objection. He felt that the current money was not enough to buy adult cattle, and the calves would not be able to work, so it was better to buy a bicycle.

With a bicycle, it is convenient to go out. He feels that with his nephew's current craftsmanship, he can make money very quickly.It was even planned that he would ride a bicycle with his nephew and even run around the surrounding towns.

After earning money, he directly bought an ox to work in the field, and he no longer needed to pull the plow himself as an ox.

When it comes to plowing, Yan Changqing is a little hesitant, he is not willing to be the "plow presser", he has forgotten the feeling of riding on a plow, but he does not want to experience it again.

However, he scoffed at his second uncle's proposal: "How much money do you think you can earn by playing the erhu for a day in our town? Are there performances on the street during the Chinese New Year? How much money can you get after one session?"

Yan Erhe instantly felt the cold reality.

He thought of the shirtless people performing martial arts on the snow-covered streets during the Chinese New Year.

What kind of swords, guns, swords, sticks, chain sticks, nine-section whip and three-section stick, a group of people took turns performing, rolling and crawling on the snow, panting and sweating profusely.

The money is guaranteed to be received, and what can be collected is only a few cents, and a few cents is not much. A dozen yuan a day is considered good, and that is during the Chinese New Year.

The ghost knows how much money can be divided when it is finally distributed to individuals.

Yan Changqing continued to attack him: "Besides, our performance is a novelty. We only go there for the first time, and people will pay me some money because I am young. If we go often, people will dislike us, you old man Son, I am a child who should go to school, and I know how to make money when I am not doing business, who will give us money back?"

In fact, there are still several towns to go to, and the oil wells are not only in the oil fields, but also cover other areas.

Yan Changqing doesn't mention it now, because he wants to dissuade the enthusiasm of the second uncle. He doesn't want to ride a bicycle often and wander around on the bumpy dirt roads in the countryside.

He didn't even like to sit in the bus he was sitting in. The old and broken bus billowed with smoke and dust all the way, and it felt like being on a boat when sitting in it, and it just caught up with several levels of wind and waves...

The two muttered all the way, and when they arrived in the county, they made up their minds: don't buy anything first, and buy cattle directly when they save enough money.

Today's adult cattle also have to be regarded as good quality. The cheap ones cost 600 yuan, and the expensive ones can cost thousands of dollars—the price of cattle that can be used as breeding cattle is particularly high.

After the discussion, the bus bound for the town also slowly drove out of the station.

……

When they arrived in the town, the two went straight to the place where Chen Youliang set up the Liangpi stall.

There were no customers in the booth, and Chen Youliang was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, lying shirtless on a bamboo recliner with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

As soon as Yan Changqing arrived, he started to shout: "Uncle, Uncle, let's discuss something."

Chen Youliang sat up, and seeing the excitement of the two, he probably guessed: "You made money again? Let me cover for you?"

"Yes!" Yan Changqing laughed happily. "If you earn a little money, don't worry about it. We brought a bottle of Jianlibao and two packs of instant noodles. We went back and said you gave it to us. Recently, they asked you not to say it was missing."

Chen Youliang was much more flexible in his mind: "Are you planning to do big things in a while, and have a showdown with them?"

"I earned more than 200 this time. If I come a few more times, I might be lucky enough to earn enough money to buy a cow." Yan Changqing didn't intend to hide it from his uncle, and sooner or later all the family members would know about it.

"When the corn is harvested, we have to plant wheat and plow the fields. We can't do without cattle. We also want to trouble you to find out the price of cattle. Then we will tell the family about our performing arts. It's okay if they don't let me go at that time. Anyway, there are cows."

"As long as you have a plan in your mind, I will ask Lao Guo from the veterinary station to help you pay attention to the matter of the cow." Chen Youliang nodded. "There is a way in the bull market, and I don't know much about it. Lao Guo of the veterinary station is familiar with this aspect, and we can play cards together and tell him later."

Yan Changqing didn't say thank you, but made an opinion: "Uncle, you sell food, it's inappropriate to be shirtless. The stall should be cleaned up, wouldn't it attract more people?"

Chen Youliang lazily lay down again: "Erhe, do it yourself, cut it out and eat it for the two of you. What the hell, I only earn cigarette money for such a business, what do you think of me..."

Yan Changqing immediately changed his words and said something else: "Then you go to the oil field to see where we went today. I heard that the people there can pay hundreds of dollars more a month, and the streets there are more lively than our county. , there are all kinds of snacks, you may have a chance to see."

Chen Youliang is indeed quite capable. It's not that he looks down on this small business, but that he can really do big business.

Yan Changqing can be sure of this.

Yan Erhe felt that he couldn't get in the conversation, and he was embarrassed when his brother-in-law asked him to cut the cold noodles himself.

It was Yan Changqing who was very rude: "Second Uncle, sit down and rest for a while, I will cut a portion for you."

Uncle didn't mean to be polite to himself, besides, he still had twenty miles to go later, so he would be more motivated to go on his way if he had something to eat.

Chen Youliang saw Yan Changqing brushing and cutting the Liangpi, and said to Yan Erhe with a smile: "It's hot now, the Liangpi made in the morning is sold at noon, these are freshly made, and you have to eat them yourself if you can't sell them all later in the evening." Throw it away, or throw it away, eat as much as you can, don't be shy."

After finishing speaking, he waited for Yan Changqing to adjust the Liangpi, and then asked: "What exactly is the oil field you mentioned?"

Yan Changqing then told him about the situation of the oil field, mainly saying that the people there come from all over the world, and they have more knowledge, and they can learn more if they go there to see it.

The oil field is less than a hundred miles away from Taoshu Town, but few people in the town know the situation there.

After all, there is nothing wrong, and people don't like to go out these days.

Yan Changqing couldn't tell what to ask Chen Youliang to see, he was just a suggestion, because he himself didn't have the ability or vision to do business.

On the contrary, Chen Youliang is a troublemaker, maybe he can find some way out, it doesn't matter if he can't find it, he is not short of the travel expenses to the oil field.

……

After they were full, the two started their journey again, and arrived at home just before the sun set.

Of course, Yan Changqing was carried by his second uncle for more than half of the distance on the way. His legs were short, so there was nothing he could do.

Two packs of instant noodles, one pack for the family, one can of Jianlibao poured out for parents and grandpa to taste, and Yan Erhe asked Yan Erhe to take the rest back for his wife and grandma to drink.

On average, one mouthful per person is so shabby!

In fact, you can buy it again when you are in the county, but Yan Changqing and his second uncle dare not buy it, or dare not spend money recklessly.

The second uncle was unreliable in the first place, and the money in his pocket was never lukewarm - the words of the old family meant that this person couldn't save money, so he spent it when he had money.

Let him see that he spends money lavishly, what should he do if he learns to leave in the future?
In the evening, there are noodles in soup with instant noodles-my mother said that the noodles under the instant noodles can be eaten by the whole family, and no one objected.

This taste, anyway, hard to describe.

After eating, Yan Changqing carefully fed the chickens, and then looked at the skill of 'feeding chickens' that he worked hard on recently, the proficiency is only more than ten percent, and according to his observation, the number of eggs laid by the chickens has not increased, Somewhat disappointed.

Let the water flow!
In order to brush up his skills in feeding chickens, some time ago he even did the thing of chopping vegetable leaves and throwing them into chicken rings. Thanks to his young age, it is not uncommon to do anything, just being talked about by grandpa as a fun thing.

After feeding the chicken, I was planning to practice my skills for a while, when I heard someone shouting outside: "It's going to be electrified, it's about to be electrified!"

In an instant, several voices from different distances rang out: "Who said who said it?"

"Don't yell nonsense, someone said it last time, but in the end I still didn't believe it..."

"real or fake?"

Someone already ran out and caught the one who called out: "Liu boy, who did you listen to?"

The young man named Liu Wazi replied: "I heard about it today when I went to the market, and I even asked someone to ask about it, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so late."

Grandpa Yan Changqing also walked out, and then asked: "Six kids, don't talk nonsense, don't you just talk nonsense when you come back late for fun?"

Liu Wazi often plays with Yan Erhe, and from time to time does things that the elders in the village don't like, so it's true that Grandpa Yan Changqing doesn't like him, and it's true if he doesn't believe it.

But Liu Wazi didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and answered honestly: "This time, I really didn't. I know a person whose father works in the power supply station. I heard what he said. I wanted to wait for his father to come back and ask for clarification. In the end, someone invited his father to dinner. , didn’t come back until dark. I asked, and the town has been notified to prepare to receive the wires..."

Yan Changqing ran out: "Uncle Liu, when did you come to our village?"

Liuwa thought for a while: "That's not certain, we always come next to each other. Our village is too far away, and it's probably the same as Yatouwa in Eetou Bay. Very fast, at most two or three months will be fully electrified."

That's not too bad.

The villagers who heard the good news felt that it was good, and the village was still so lively after dinner, which is rare.

Yan Changqing was also a little excited in his heart, is he finally saying goodbye to the days without electricity?
Then when you buy a cow, you should consider a TV!

Buy a TV and then buy a washing machine, so as not to be tiring doing laundry in winter.

Then buy a tape recorder, which can be used as a radio and can also play tapes. There is a main unit in the middle, a large speaker on each side, and a row of shiny buttons on it, which looks tall.

By the way, it's better to buy another refrigerator, and later...

Thinking about it again, it seems that after the electricity is turned on, for a long period of time, the power supply is only available after dark at night, and the power is cut off immediately after two or three hours. It is useless to buy too many household appliances.

Then don't be in a hurry, take your time, anyway, there will always be.

Or, after buying a cow, don't worry about the TV, and buy an electric fan first.

Just buy the ceiling fan of the brand that didn't break when I sent myself away in my previous life.

Live well in this life and see how long that ceiling fan lasts.
