After the meeting, Li Yi did not go home immediately, but stopped Feng Kai and Zhang Tongfu.

In the simple office at the brigade headquarters, three people sat across from a desk that was missing a leg and was supported by bricks.

As soon as he sat down, Feng Kai asked in a deep voice: "Xiaoyi, can your family afford more than 600 yuan a day?"

Li Yi nodded and said: "Absolutely. Uncle Feng, you also know that I go out to sell cold skins and mountain products every day. In fact, I make a lot of money. I should be able to sustain it!"

"Well, if you can't hold on, you can lower the price!"

"No need for now, two cents a pound is not low, but it is not high either!"

Li Yi knew that the price of dry goods this winter would soar from [-] cents per catty last year to [-] cents per catty, and even reached [-] cents per catty during the Chinese New Year.

Five kilograms of wet mushrooms can produce almost one kilogram of dry mushrooms, which means that the current annual cost will double by the end of the year.

With this profit, money grabbing cannot be done so quickly!

"As long as you can hold on, if you have any difficulties, just tell Uncle Feng. Anyone who can help will definitely help!" Feng Kai said.

"Uncle Feng, Uncle Zhang, I really need your help with something!" Li Yi said unceremoniously.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to buy two big animals from the team!" Li Yi said.

The agricultural cooperatives have not yet been dismantled, and all means of production are collectively owned, including all large livestock.

If people in the village want to do anything, they have to borrow livestock and vehicles from the production team.

However, Li Yi cannot go to the county town every day in the future, and borrowing money from others will definitely not work.

What's more, the autumn harvest will be around in a while. By then, the team's big animals will not be enough, so how can they be borrowed from outside!
So, Li Yi thought of buying it!

"You want to buy the big red mule and the big black horse?"

"Well, Uncle Feng, you also know the situation of my family. We have to use mules and carriages almost every day. It's not good to borrow them from the team all the time!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, anyway, the mules and foals born last year have grown up and are about to be sold. If you buy the big red mules and black horses, the smaller ones will not be sold!" Feng Kai said.

And Zhang Tongfu asked: "I can sell it to you, but the price must be calculated according to the market price, and we can't let the members gossip!"

"That's for sure. The price of a mule and horse now is 250 to 300 yuan. The red mule and the black horse are both in their prime. I'll pay [-] yuan!" Li Yi said.

"Row!"

"Uncle Feng, I bought the livestock first, but I will give the money to the team after a while, and I can issue an IOU!"

"Fine!"

Feng Kai was not afraid that Li Yi would lie to him. If it really didn't work, he could just take the animals back to the production team. There would be no loss.

"Then we've made a deal!"

"Ok!"

After getting down to business, Li Yi didn't stay any longer, and then left the brigade headquarters after saying a few words to Feng Kai and Zhang Tongfu.

Looking at Li Yi's leaving figure, Zhang Tongfu said with some emotion: "This kid seems to be a different person. What a big change!"

"Haha, this man will undergo some changes after having a wife!"

"By the way, Lao Feng, do you think Xiaoyi can really spend 700 yuan every day to collect mushrooms from the members?" Zhang Tongfu said again.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. You know this kid has made a lot of money during this time!"

"But it's six to seven hundred a day."

At this time, Feng Kai looked around and found that there was no one else, and then said: "Do you know how much a pound of mushrooms this guy sent to the county is?"

"how much is it?"

"7 hairs!"

"How much?" "Seven cents, no more, no less!"

"Old Feng, who did you listen to?"

"Haha, this is what Director Liu from the county state-owned hotel told me personally. I sat next to him when Xiaoyi got married the day before yesterday!"

"Then this guy delivers hundreds of kilograms to the county every day. Doesn't that mean he will earn thousands of dollars?"

"That's not!"

After the shock, Zhang Tongfu frowned and said, "That's not right. I remember that people in the city don't like eating mushrooms very much. Even if they want to eat mushrooms, it usually doesn't cost more than [-] cents!"

Feng Kai smiled and said: "This is Xiaoyi's brilliance. The county state-owned restaurant usually sells mushrooms for 7 cents per catty, but Xiaoyi's mushrooms can be sold for [-] or [-] cents. Later, they raised If you get [-] cents, no one else would envy you!"

"why is that?"

Feng Kai didn't know why, but he could guess that it had something to do with Mr. Wang. After all, his eldest son was the top leader in the county.

But he couldn't tell Zhang Tongfu about this, so he smiled and said, "I don't know about that, but we just need to know that that boy can lead the villagers to make money!"

"That's right!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and then they went home!
Speaking of Li Yi, after riding his bicycle home.

Guessing that the group of children would be back soon, I immediately harnessed the big red mules and drove to the back mountain!

Sure enough, on the dam of Houshan Reservoir, Dongzi and others had packed up all the mountain goods and were sitting there chatting.

It's just that today the expressions of the children are not very good, and the atmosphere is a bit dull.

Feng Qian and others also noticed something was wrong with the children, and immediately asked: "Dongzi, what's wrong with you, don't you all seem unhappy?"

Dongzi looked at Feng Qian and said immediately: "We are all worried that Brother Yi will not take us out to make money in the future!"

"Why, what happened?"

At this time, Qiangzi said immediately: "I heard from my father that Brother Yi promised the village members that he would take them to make money together. By then, the whole village will have to pick mushrooms for him, and he will definitely not need us!" "

Feng Qian frowned and said, "Is this the case?"

"Well, at noon, my father said that he would go to Brother Yi to talk about this matter. I don't know how the discussion went!"

Sun Lu thought for a while and said: "Based on what I know about Li Yi, even if he leads other people in the village to make money, he will definitely not ignore you!"

"really?"

"Can't you just ask him, seriously?"

As he was talking, a child suddenly shouted: "Big red mule, Brother Yi is here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the village and saw the familiar big red mule.

Later, under the organization of Dongzi, the children carried the picked mushrooms and walked toward the road below the reservoir.

Soon, the big red mule cart joined the children.

After loading all the mushrooms into the car, Li Yi gave the money for yesterday's mushroom picking to the children and several female educated youths, and was about to leave.

But I heard Sun Lu suddenly say: "Wait a minute!"

Li Yi stopped immediately and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"What? The children want to ask you something, but they are too embarrassed to ask you, so I"

Li Yi turned around and looked at Dongzi and the others, and found that something was not quite right with them.

At that moment, he stopped the mule cart and called Dongzi, Shitou, and Qiangzi over!
