In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 16 Shangfeng Town

Back then, the roads in Shangfeng Town were considered a wonder.

At that time, the trucks cost at least [-] to [-] yuan, and it was difficult for households with [-] yuan to buy this thing. Generally, units such as the Grain Bureau and the Forestry Bureau only had it, or the village raised funds to buy it.

But on the road in Shangfeng Town, there are too many such trucks to count. Some trucks really have the name of a certain unit printed on the front.

It can be seen how blatant it was to "take goods" back then.

However, there are many cars and small roads, so it is easy to get stuck.

Once a car breaks down, the entire road is full of cars, and children from nearby villages will run to the side of the road with the unique local "light cakes" and sell them at high prices to these truck drivers and accompanying bosses.

Escorted by the truck's horn and the driver's voice of national essence, Li Duoyu finally arrived at Shangfeng Town.

The streets of the town are crowded with cars and people, more lively than the county seat. There are hotels on both sides of the road, and small blackboards are placed at the door.

Looking up, you can see the four big red letters of Shangfeng Middle School not far away, where both he and Zhou Xiaoying attended junior high school.

When they were studying, the conditions in the school were very poor, and there was not even a canteen. Since they were boarding students, they had to bring their own rice to cook.

Although Zhou Xiaoying was two years older than him, under Lao Li's deliberate arrangement, they both went to junior high school in the same year. Li Duoyu remembered very clearly that he couldn't do without this woman at every meal time.

At that time, he was completely a bad boy with so much energy that he had no place to vent his energy.

Had a group fight with classmates and had five stitches on his head.

Go to the nearby watermelon field together and steal watermelons.

He stole the fishermen's boat in the town and was criticized by the whole school.

Cutting classes and playing poker in the dormitory.

Anyway, as long as it is something other than reading, they are very interested.

But the deepest memory is that Li Duoyu asked Zhou Xiaoying to write a love letter for him at that time, and the love letter was to a very beautiful girl at that time.

As for the name, Li Duoyu can't remember it now, but only remembers that the girl is also very beautiful, and she loves to sing and dance.

And after writing that love letter.

Li Duoyu was hungry for a whole week because of this.

Now that I think about it carefully, Zhou Xiaoying is willing to marry him. Apart from Lao Li's matchmaking, there should be other reasons. Li Duoyu didn't ask in her previous life.

In this life, Li Duoyu intends to make a fool of himself.

Due to the prevalence of goods-taking.
Over the years, the vast majority of people in the town have made money, and there are shouts and hawkers everywhere in the town.

"The rough horse watch is cheap, only twenty."

"Radio, digital watch, anyone want it?"

Set up a stall directly at the door of the house.

Some carry poles and sell them while walking.

There are also sacks that are sold on the ground.

It can be said that in Shangfeng Town at this time, even if you set up a tea stall in front of your house, the business will be very good.

Li Duoyu remembers very clearly that since there was no running water at that time, there were too many people to supply tea, and there was a long queue for well water.

In the previous life, Li Duoyu also sold goods here. He and Agui took Yuan Datou on the small islands in overseas provinces, and exchanged things with those big ships.

It will be pulled to the town to sell.

At that time, the best Shanghai brand watch in China only cost 120 yuan, and when they exchanged it with Dachuan, an island-country Oriental watch with completely crushed performance and appearance only cost 30 yuan, and a crude horse watch cost 10 yuan.

They just need to take it to Shangfeng Town to sell it.

The price is doubled, Dongfang watches can be sold for 60 yuan, and crude horse watches can be sold for 20 yuan.

At that time, this kind of rough horse watch assembled in Hong Kong Island was of high quality and low price, and it was very easy to sell. Many thieves from the north bought it in sacks of sacks.

Once he and Agui sold two dual-speaker three-purpose phones, and they earned 600 yuan, which was directly Zhou Xiaoying's two-year salary. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days.

Looking at the bustling Shangfeng Town in front of him, Li Duoyu couldn't help sighing, because this scene will disappear with the arrival of the Smuggling Office in a short time.

The reason why Li Duoyu came to Shangfeng Town was to buy a few meters of nice-looking cloth for his wife before the smuggling office came, and to buy her a folding umbrella by the way.

When Li Duoyu was shopping at the stall, unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance, a bald man wearing a silver necklace, Brother Shui.

There are several horse boys behind him.

Brother Shui is a local local snake, who specializes in collecting stall fees in this area, like Li Duoyu and Agui, who don't have stores or houses in the town.

If you want to sell things on this site, local snakes like Brother Shui can't get around them. They will charge stall fees to non-local stallholders.

Depending on the location of the booth, it can range from 10 yuan to 50 yuan a day, while the booth fee that Li Duoyu and Agui hand over to Brother Shui is several hundred yuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most profitable person in this area. His family has already built a four-story mansion, and there are two or three imported cars parked in the yard.

I heard that my wife, mistress, and mistress are quite harmonious and often play mahjong together, but I don't know if it's true or not.

After Brother Shui saw Li Duoyu, he said hello:
"Isn't this a lot of fish? I've been fooling around recently. It's been a long time since I saw you and Agui come to take care of my business. Without the two of you, I feel that the business is much worse."

"Brother Shui, you're joking. How can you not notice the small business between me and Agui? Isn't it a while ago that we were blocked by anti-smuggling boats and didn't get the goods?"

When he heard about the anti-smuggling boats, Brother Shui's face fell instantly. A few days ago, they also detained several boats, and all the goods on board were confiscated, which cost him a lot of money.

"These bastards don't do their business all day long, just want to grab things from us."

Brother Shui patted Li Duoyu on the shoulder:

"Work hard. If you have the goods, you must come and take care of my business."

"That's for sure."

In fact, Li Duoyu and Brother Shui had a lot of intersections in the previous life. Back then, he was reported by A Gui's wife, and he became a typical example of fighting smuggling and speculation.

But Brother Shui is a typical example, he is simply a representative figure. It is said that the Great Unity found in his home was packed into several sacks.

The cadres who have been implicated are countless. After Brother Shui was arrested, many cadres wished that he would die quickly.

At that time, for the sake of brother Shui's personal safety, the smugglers did not dare to lock him in the prison of this province, but sent him to the next province to be imprisoned.

Coincidentally, Li Duoyu was imprisoned in the same prison as him, but Li Duoyu was locked up for five years, while he was indefinitely.

Later, Brother Shui was released after being imprisoned for 30 years because of his good performance. In the year he came out, Li Duoyu happened to come back from the island country.

Later I heard that after he came out, his wife, mistress, and mistress all ran away with others and started families one after another.

As a widow, he can only go to the house of Ma Zai who followed him back then to help raise kelp.

Thinking about it now is also embarrassing.

Li Duoyu raised his head, looked at the prosperous street in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, a crazy era is coming to an end soon.

And Li Duoyu, who knows the price well.

I didn't bother to choose, so I found a stall nearby and bought six meters of imported fabric and a folding umbrella at a similar price.

I left Shangfeng Town by car and went to Qingkou Wharf.
