Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

When the three of them arrived at the shop, someone was packing up inside. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

When he saw Master Liang and then looked at Yu Qiutang and Yu Qiujiang, he knew what it meant.

"Xiao Hu, let me introduce you to these two people, they are the buyers of your shop."

The middle-aged man did not answer immediately, but slowly coiled the electric wires on the ground. Yu Qiutang smelled a strong smell of oil in the room. Looking at the ground, he saw a lot of oil marks and guessed that this was an oil press.

At this time, people mainly eat oil that they squeeze themselves.

There are two common oil-producing crops here, rapeseed and sesame.

People prefer to eat sesame oil because they think it is fragrant and has no strange taste.

And canola oil always tastes a bit bitter.

Therefore, the sesame grown here is used to extract oil, while the rapeseed is mostly sold in the grain market.

But the biggest problem with sesame is that its yield is very low, with only about a hundred kilograms produced per acre of land, and the oil extraction rate is not high either.

Gradually, it was eliminated by people in later generations and people started to eat rapeseed oil.

Of course, strictly speaking, there are several raw materials that can be used to extract oil, such as walnuts, pepper seeds, chili seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.

These oils are generally much more expensive than rapeseed oil, and people generally do not consume them as mainstream oils.

In the early years, because many villages had no electricity, oil pressing had to be done in the town. However, with the introduction of electricity to every household and the introduction of more advanced machinery and equipment with high oil yields, the old oil presses in the town were gradually ignored.

This boss is obviously someone who has been eliminated by the times.

"Xiao Hu~"

Lao Liang called out again, and the boss stood up, leaning the broom against the wall, and looked at Yu Qiutang and Yu Qiujiang, "You are the ones who want this shop?"

Yu Qiujiang said in a muffled voice, "It's us."

He just saw that the boss had left them out in the cold and felt a little unhappy.

I didn't give Boss Hu a good look.

Seeing this, Yu Qiutang stopped in front of Yu Qiujiang and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, right? Sister Wu should have talked to you about the transfer of your shop."

Hearing the name "Sister Wu", Boss Hu's expression improved a little, and he said calmly: "Yes, you told me."

"As for the price, let's just do what you said, eight hundred dollars, that's fine, right?"

Boss Hu hesitated and shook his head, "Eight hundred yuan is too little."

"Xiao Hu, how can you go back on your word? You and our boss agreed to bring the people here, but now you say it's too little. This is not good. We are all doing business on the street, and you, Boss Hu, can't lose your reputation!"

Lao Liang also knows the price.

Hearing Boss Hu go back on his word, his face looked a little unhappy.

Although he was polite and acted like an old senior when chatting with Yu Qiutang, he became a pure businessman in front of Boss Hu, speaking with hidden meanings and trying to make use of all the reasons.

"Lao Liang, I am not afraid of saying ugly things. When Boss Wu came to me, I had to give him face. But I personally think that my willingness to sell this shop is already giving him face."

Boss Hu was not afraid.

"We all do business on the street, and we all know how much the shop is worth. My shop should be sold for at least 1000 yuan. It's unacceptable that you insist on taking it away for 800 yuan."

"That's not the case," Lao Liang shook his head, "Your shop is an oil press shop. It's in a mess. We need to clean it up later and turn the floor over and re-pave it. That costs a lot of money.

Unlike many other shops, you can use it right away after you get it. You must understand this, right? "

Boss Hu looked at Lao Liang and was silent for a moment, but still shook his head, "Eight hundred is too little anyway, we have to increase it."

"Xiao Hu..."

Lao Liang wanted to continue talking, but Yu Qiutang pulled him aside and said to Boss Hu with a smile, "Look, I'll give you an extra 50 yuan, so we'll get it for 850 yuan. How about that?"

"Xiao Yu..."

Lao Liang still wants to persevere.

Yu Qiutang continued to smile and said, "Boss Hu, this is how business works. You raise the price and I bargain. Let's both make concessions and be happy. What do you think?"

Boss Hu was a little surprised.

I didn't expect Yu Qiutang to be so easy to talk to. After thinking for a while, he said, "900. If you want it, take it. If not, leave it to me."

"Xiao Hu!!"

Lao Liang's face changed.

Maybe I just hate people who don't keep their word.

"Okay, deal!"

Yu Qiutang didn't continue to talk too much and just agreed directly.

He was in no mood to continue agonizing over the hundred bucks. He knew clearly the value of this place. He could buy it and not worry about anything. In twenty years, the value would increase a hundredfold.

No loss whatsoever.

What's more, when he saw the location of the shop, an idea came to his mind.

Since someone else can acquire this land later, why can't he? As long as he can firmly control this land in his own hands, that hotel cannot be built, and it will not affect Wu Meifen. Isn't it equivalent to helping Wu Meifen a lot?

50 yuan is a lot of money at this time.

But since he wants to get rich, he naturally won't always stick to such small amounts of money. He must be decisive when it comes to taking action.

Judging from the expression of Boss Hu, he wouldn't be very happy even if he could get it for 900. What if he exceeds his limit and doesn't sell it, that would be the biggest loss.

Seeing Yu Qiutang being so straightforward, Boss Hu smiled for the first time since the three of them came in.

"To be honest, if Boss Wu hadn't told me that I'm not in a hurry to sell this shop, I can still do other things if the oil press shop can't continue. As long as the shop is there, I have a chance, right?"

Master Liang was in a bad mood and stood aside without saying anything.

Yu Qiujiang followed Yu Qiutang's lead.

Yu Qiutang didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "There is a chance to do well, but there is also a chance to do worse than this oil press shop, right?"

"This one……"

"Haha, let's not talk about this. Let's draw up an agreement and put our handprints on it. I'll ask Boss Hu to clean up the clutter here today. Is that ok?"

Boss Hu was comforted by the price and was obviously in a much better mood. He smiled and nodded, "No problem, if you give me the money, I will move out immediately."

"Money is no problem."

When Yu Qiutang saw the result of the discussion, he bought some writing paper, an ink pen, and a box of ink pad from the supply and marketing store nearby. He signed the agreement with Boss Hu, and both of them put their handprints and signed their names, and the transaction was officially completed.

Buying and selling things at that time was much simpler than in later times.

Because the shop had not been fully opened yet, Yu Qiutang temporarily paid half of the amount and agreed to hand over the keys tomorrow and then pay the remaining balance.

The three of them separated outside. Master Liang still felt a little uncomfortable and said that he would tell Wu Meifen that Boss Hu accepted favors but did not do his job.

Yu Qiutang advised him not to say anything. Although there were some minor setbacks in the process, at least he got a good result in the end and he was already satisfied.

This is how business works, everyone wants to use the least amount of money and get the most revenue, so it's understandable that others want more.

Moreover, generally speaking, the more prestigious a person is, the more they value reputation and face. For you who don't have much capital, how much is face worth? What does reputation mean? The best thing is to seize short-term benefits.

Of course he would say what he should say, and he couldn't stop Master Liang from telling Wu Meifen.

If it is true that Boss Hu took advantage of the situation and did not give face, then that is their problem.

On the way back, Yu Qiujiang and Yu Qiutang talked about the issue of store expenses.

According to Yu Qiutang's original idea, he wanted to directly give Yu Qiujiang a store and let him develop on his own.

But considering that Yu Qiujiang didn't have that much money at the moment, he needed some start-up capital in the early stage, and he also had to save money to pay for Yu Chunju's medical treatment. Finally, Yu Qiutang decided to buy the shop himself and then rent it to Yu Qiujiang for ten yuan a month.

This is just a hint.

He originally wanted to support Yu Qiujiang to become rich together, so naturally he would not earn any rental fees from him.

It just makes Yu Qiujiang feel more at ease and not feel too guilty.
.
"what are you doing?"

Miali had just washed her hair, and her long hair fell in front of her chest, still dripping with water.

Because she was going to get on the kang soon, she wore an autumn shirt with a low cut front. Even though the kerosene lamp was dim and grayish, it still couldn't hide the whiteness of her chest.

Yu Qiutang pulled her over and put his hand in.

Miyali gently pulled his hand out and said, "Why are you so insatiable? The elder sisters haven't slept yet. What if they come in..."

Yu Qiutang smiled, held his wife's face, sucked her lips hard, and then let her go.

"Sister, don't you want to have a little nephew as soon as possible? Why are they coming to our new house in the middle of the night?"

"You."

Miali had no choice but to sit down against the wall, pull the quilt over her legs, pick up the wool next to her and start knitting a sweater.

She used the four-needle method, which is a relatively difficult knitting method, but the advantage is that the sweater knitted is more compact, will not easily unravel, and is warm and comfortable to wear.

Unlike the double hook method, it looks fast, but in fact there are large gaps. When you pull it open, there are holes everywhere. It is okay for scarves, but it is a bit loose for sweaters.

"You're casting on so many needles, are you knitting socks?"

Yu Qiutang held the paper in his hand and looked at Mi Yali curiously. The four-needle method can determine the approximate waist circumference based on the number of stitches.

Miali smiled and said nothing.

Yu Qiutang didn't know what she was laughing at, but when he saw the bright green yarn, he suddenly realized, "You are knitting this for our son, right?"

Miyali laughed and said, "How do you know it's a son? Maybe it's a daughter?"

"A daughter is fine too. As long as she's our child, I like her."

Yu Qiutang said this, but he was thinking in his heart, after this rebirth, whether the child would still be the same child as before.

The chances are always one in hundreds of millions!
Miali smiled again.

The light shone on her, like a dim oil painting.

"So lovely."

Yu Qiutang couldn't help but sigh.

"what……"

Miali's face turned red from such blatant praise.

She didn't know what other men were like, but she felt that Yu Qiutang was always so corny and didn't speak tactfully, which made her not know how to deal with him.

You may blame him, but he is your man. He says he is good, so what's strange about that?

To say that he is a hooligan is even more wrong.

Of course my man can do it. If my man can't do this, who else can?

She couldn't figure out what the problem was.

She didn't understand that she was trapped by the limitations of the times. If it were a newlywed couple in later generations, and if the man was like Yu Qiutang, the new bride would only feel sweetness and would not feel uncomfortable at all.

Maybe they both had practiced it countless times before getting married.

Seeing that Mi Yali was so amused by him that she didn't dare to look at him, Yu Qiutang couldn't bear to continue teasing her and continued to settle the score under the light.

Miyali looked up at him, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"The accounts recorded."

"Oh."

Miali nodded and continued knitting her sweater.

Yu Qiutang was curious, "Don't you want to care?"

"Ah, you want me to help you calculate it?" Miyali put the sweater aside and came over. "How can I help you?"

Yu Qiutang was stunned.

I thought, that’s what I meant.

He found that Miali was a little naive sometimes. Shouldn't a couple keep the household money clearly accounted for?

But Miali seemed to have no idea of ​​this at all.

She really wanted to help him settle the score.

But when Miyali came over, Yu Qiutang was immediately attracted by the fragrance on her body. He hugged her and nibbled her for a while, and only stopped when she was panting and couldn't breathe.

Her hair was also messed up, and her long hair covered the pillow.

"You, why are you never satisfied?"

Miyali was helpless, "Look, your hair has wet the sheets."

"It's okay even if it gets wet."

Yu Qiutang lay on his back, pulled Mi Yali over, let her rest her head on his chest, and gently stroked her hair.

"Satisfied." He sighed.

Miali gently hugged her husband's waist, and her heart felt sweet again when she heard him say this.

"Are you still going to settle the bill? If not, I'll go knit a sweater."

"There's no rush."

"Why not hurry up? What if..."

Miali stopped talking abruptly. She felt embarrassed and was too ashamed to speak.

"We should speed up then~"

Yu Qiutang was eager to try again, but Miyali held down his hand, "Not tonight, I heard from others that men can't do this all the time, they need to be restrained, otherwise... otherwise their bodies won't be able to bear it."

"Who said that? He is just an ordinary man. I am your husband. I am in good health. Don't worry about me!"

"Let's not do that. Tomorrow, okay?"

Yu Qiutang was actually still very impulsive, but seeing Mi Yali like this, he couldn't bear to force it, so he hugged her soft body and said with a smile: "Then let's do it tomorrow, I'll listen to you."

Miali murmured "hmm" softly, as thin as a mosquito.

"I was just calculating how much money we have left. Now that you've married me, I will definitely let you live a happy life. You must have everything that others have, and I will also let you have everything that others don't have..."

"You don't have to work so hard," Miyali said softly, "I don't want to wear gold and silver either. I'm satisfied as long as I can have enough food and clothes and live a healthy life with you."

"That's your idea. We can definitely do what you said, but as your husband, I can definitely do more than that."

Yu Qiutang said softly.

Miyali thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. If you want to do something, I'll help you. I can endure hardships and do all kinds of things. Just tell me what you need me to do.

If I can’t do it…”

She paused and suddenly kissed Yu Qiutang on the face.

"Just teach me, I will study hard and promise not to hold you back!" (End of this chapter)
