In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 214 How Much Is Nine Plus Seven Plus Eight?
Chen Shulin originally came to inspect the market.

Recently, a document came out from above, saying that we should consolidate the results of the fight against smuggling, and also mentioned that there are signs of a resurgence of smuggling.

From the original open smuggling to underground smuggling, and smuggling has become more and more targeted, it has become only smuggling of imported cigarettes and watches.

Unexpectedly, when he came to inspect the village, he happened to see Li Duoyu shouting with a small trumpet.

That mouthful of rhetoric is indeed very powerful. After traveling all these years, he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world.

Li Duoyu's yelling is much stronger than those who sell candied haws in the north. He listened carefully just now. Although the yelling is very earthy, every word is hinting at you that his oysters are very cheap.

Chen Shulin found that every time he saw Li Duoyu, he seemed to be pleasantly surprised. If this brain is used for serious business, it might go a long way in the future.

However, what Chen Shulin appreciates most is that Li Duoyu is different from others. He is very down-to-earth and has no airs even when he becomes the village director.

He still sets up a stall in the market, sells oysters, and shouts with a loudspeaker. If it were another village director, he would probably be embarrassed.

Chen Shulin saw him coming.

The nearby people who came to rush to the fair gave way to him one after another. As a result, no one came to Li Duoyu's grilled oyster stall, so he said:

"Duoyu, then you sell oysters first, and we won't bother you with your business. I'll find the person in charge of the fair later, and ask him to come to you. Let's see when we can hold a special oyster session for you."

"Then thank you, Secretary Chen."

"We can be considered old acquaintances, don't be so strangers, I'm twice your age, from now on you can just call me Uncle Chen."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"That's about the same. It sounds much more pleasing to the ear. If you have time, come to the town committee to sit."

"okay."

After Chen Shulin and his party left, nearby vendors and villagers became curious about Li Duoyu's identity.

"Who is this young man? I've never seen him before."

"Old Dong, you must have seen him before. This person seems to be Li Duoyu who used to set up a stall here."

"It's impossible. Li Duoyu is just a fool. He looks like he deserves a beating. He's nothing like this person."

"It's really him. I almost didn't recognize him just now. When I bought grilled oysters, I asked him."

"But he is a smuggler. How did he have such a good relationship with our town leaders? If the leaders knew that he was an active member of the smuggler in the past, they would not let this fish slip through the net."

"Maybe, they have a backstage."

"Forget it, let's not discuss this, Old Dong, the grilled oysters he sells are really delicious, why don't you buy one and try it."

"What delicious oysters are there? Did you charge him money, and why did you advertise for him?"

"How is it possible? It's really delicious. If you want to eat it, go buy it quickly, or it will be gone later."

As soon as the town leaders left, a group of people immediately surrounded Li Duoyu's grilled oyster stand, and everyone gave money to Li Qingguang.

"A catty of grilled oysters."

"Boss, you guys roasted too slowly, just give me the oysters, I'll go back and roast them myself."

Li Qingguang has one head and two big heads. His mind is a bit confused now, because the scene is really too chaotic, and there are too many people who give money.

In addition, he didn't know these people, so he couldn't remember who had paid and who hadn't.

A middle-aged man with a bit of scorn kept urging Li Qingguang: "When will my oysters be roasted?"

"I've been waiting for a long time, why are you so slow."

"If you can't bake it again, you return the money to me."

Li Qingguang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, frowned and said, "You don't seem to have paid the money yet."

"What's wrong with you young man? Why did you forget the two cents I just gave you in the blink of an eye? Do you know how to do business?"

Li Qingguang said seriously: "You obviously stood behind the person just now, and you didn't give it to me at all."

"What's the matter with you kid, you still want to blackmail my money, I still don't buy it, you give me back the two cents."

After Li Duoyu saw Li Qingguang's face flushed with others, he glanced at the somewhat ruffian middle-aged man, and asked on the spot, "Why did you give me the money?"

"Just now."

Li Duoyu said word by word: "When was it just now? It was just an hour ago, and it was just a minute ago."

The middle-aged man replied: "1 minute ago."

"Is it 1 minute ago?"

Li Duoyu asked the oyster buyers present: "Who saw this elder brother pay for it a minute ago."

The people present looked at each other in blank dismay. There were indeed too many people just now, and they were really not sure.

Seeing that no one responded, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "What shit, you'll be blackmailed for buying an oyster. Hurry up and return the money to me, or I'll sue you at the police station."

"Fuck, if you feel like it, go ahead."

Li Qingguang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could go up and beat him until his teeth were all over the floor.

Li Duoyu patted him on the shoulder, beckoning him not to get excited, and then said to the crowd:

"Then whoever sees that he didn't pay, if he sees it, I will roast a piece of oysters for free, and give him an extra catty of oysters."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, someone immediately replied: "Boss, I have seen that this person has been behind and never paid at all."

"This man's name is Chen Baoguo. He especially likes crowded stalls and often fishes in troubled waters. He seemed to have been beaten just two days ago."

"Dong Biqing, are you sick?"

"I messed with you?"

Chen Baoguo never expected that he only wanted to extort [-] cents, but the boss spent [-] cents to expose him.

Isn't this stupid?

Seeing that he was exposed, Chen Baoguo was still stubborn, and cursed at Li Qingguang:
"Forget it, I'm unlucky to meet you, a fool with a bad brain, and the two cents will be used to buy you silver paper."

Seeing Chen Baoguo cursing him, the young and vigorous Li Qingguang immediately jumped up and picked up a fire stick from Zhang Jian's booth next door.

Li Duoyu said sharply:

"Qing Guang, put the things down."

Although Li Qingguang came up, Li Duoyu put down the fire stick on the spot when he shouted.

Li Duoyu sighed: "If you really want to do business and make money, you have to learn to endure. There are everyone these days. The son of the old Hu family next door to me is robbed several times a year on average. If you work hard with others, a few lives are not enough."

"I was impulsive."

Li Duoyu patted him on the shoulder: "It's normal to encounter this kind of thing when you come out to do business. If the business is good next time, put up some wooden signs so that you won't make mistakes."

"Hurry up and grill the oysters, the guests are waiting."

"Okay, come right away."

In less than two hours, the oysters brought by Li Duoyu were sold out.

Li Qingguang was counting money, but the more he nodded, the more he frowned. Originally, a hundred catties of oysters cost 20 yuan.

But the sum of all the money in his hand was just over 17 yuan, and there was a gap of more than two yuan.

"Brother, I seem to have made a mistake again and undercharged a lot of money."

Li Duoyu looked at Li Qingguang seriously, and asked, "Qingguang, are you bad at math?"

Li Qingguang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's not bad, it's not too bad."

"What is nine plus seven plus eight?"

Li Qingguang took out ten fingers and counted them, and then he suddenly got stuck. He started sweating profusely, as if he really couldn't count.

Li Duoyu was a little speechless: "Next month, you must attend the literacy class for me, and you can also borrow a calculator from your brother before you come out to do business."

"understood."
