Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 74 Entering the county town, bedding factory!
The next day.

The rumors in the village spread even more violently.

Even Fang Chengtao came to ask Fang Hongan if he was going to move to the city.

Seeing this, Fang Hongan simply decided not to go out and show up.

He took his wife and hid in the old carpenter's house.

His wife Lan Wenxiu learned how to make rice wine from Aunt Hong, while he worked in the workshop with an old carpenter making beehives.

And so I spent the whole day at the old carpenter's.

In the evening, he gave some instructions to his wife Lan Wenxiu, asking her to go out as little as possible.

I also asked Aunt Hong to go over to my house and help look after my wife in the next two days.

The next day, the sky was just beginning to turn pale.

Fang Hongan went out.

They met Wang Tong at the intersection of Shanmuling Village. They each carried a large bamboo basket and rushed to Qianmaping Market.

This day was also a market day.

Rush to the market.

The two went directly to the grocery store where Huang Guigen and Meng Jiuxiang ran.

Seeing the two people coming, the couple was extremely enthusiastic.

but……

Seeing that the two men did not drive their donkey carts over, they were a little disappointed.

With the good cooperation last time, they are all looking forward to continuing the cooperation.

Seeing the two people's little thoughts, Fang Hongan smiled and took out a large bag of honey from his bamboo basket.

Then, I talked directly with the couple about new ways of cooperation.

I heard that Fang Hongan wanted to leave his honey with them for consignment.

Huang Guigen and Meng Jiuxiang were immediately attracted.

After all, according to Fang Hongan, the honey is kept here, and no matter how much they sell it for per pound, he will only settle with them at 1.9 yuan per pound.

Moreover, he would wait until they had sold out their goods and then settle the bill with them the next time he came.

You can get as much as you sell. If you can’t sell all or don’t want to sell them, you can just return them to him.

These conditions are simply too tempting.

Last time, they saw with their own eyes how popular Fang Hongan’s honey was selling.

When we went to the previous market, many people came to ask about honey.

They all came here with the intention of buying.

Last time Fang Hongan sold it for two yuan per pound and gave away two cans.

But according to the couple's calculations, they can definitely sell it even at two dollars and one cent!

It's just a little slower.

The speed is slow, which is naturally not very convenient for people like Fang Hongan who come down from the mountains to attend the market.

But for those who opened shops in the market, it was not a problem at all.

In other words, they can still make an extra profit of a few cents per pound.

At this market, I can probably sell at least 20 to 30 kilograms!
This can earn you an extra two or three dollars!
You can make more money and there is little risk, so what is there to hesitate about?

Soon, both of them nodded and agreed to this way of cooperation.

After putting down the honey, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong strolled around the market for a while. When it was almost noon, they rushed to the station and squeezed onto the bus to the county town.

Qianmaping is located in a remote area, more than 30 kilometers away from the county seat.

This bus is only available on market days.

Moreover, they usually come here early in the morning and start their return journey when the market starts to disperse around 11 o'clock.

There is only one trip a day and there is no such thing as overloading, but it is quite crowded.

When Fang Hongan and Wang Tong went up, not to mention the seats, even the standing space was squeezed to the door.

If you were a little later, you wouldn't be able to get in. People were crowded together, and the whole carriage was packed.

The smell of sweat, foot odor, head odor, and some other messy smells mixed together. When you breathe it in through your nose, the sour and refreshing feeling is simply indescribable.

Plus the bumpy dirt road...

Wang Tong was fine. He pulled his collar to cover his nose and mouth. After a while, he adapted without changing his expression.

But this was a complete disaster for Fang Hongan, who had not experienced this kind of riding experience for a long time.

He almost forced himself to hold on the whole way, using up all his strength to try his best to suppress the urge to vomit in his stomach.

This feeling that made him feel like he was on the verge of collapse was not relieved until the bus finally drove through the long dirt road and turned onto the asphalt road.

We drove on the asphalt road for nearly another twenty minutes.

The houses that appeared outside the car window began to appear as bungalows, and there were even occasional three- or four-story buildings.

The flow of people and vehicles has also increased significantly.

People on the bus started shouting at the driver to stop at a certain place.

Then, the bus started to stop and go and passengers kept getting off.

Originally, Fang Hongan and Liao San agreed to get off at a place called Dongmenjing.

But this stopping and starting made Fang Hongan really unbearable.

Coincidentally, a woman next to him was shouting that they were getting off at the clothing factory in front. Fang Hongan had an idea and waited for the car door to open, then pulled Wang Tong along and got out of the car.

Their county town is called Xin County.

In this era, the registered population should be around 400,000.

In the Xiaonan area, it can only be regarded as a small county town.

Although it is small, in this era of vigorous development of the "local 'five small' industries", it is truly a small but complete place.

There are machinery factories, fertilizer factories, cement factories, wineries, stove factories, cookware factories...even radio factories.

Not to mention the bedding factory.

As far as he could remember, Fang Hongan had a very deep impression of this bedding factory. The reason was that when he was wasting his time in the county town in his previous life, he happened to witness the restructuring of this bedding factory.

Amid the flood of layoffs at the time, trouble broke out in this clothing factory.

It is said that some workers with extreme personalities felt that it was unfair and caused some trouble!

As the situation escalated, it became a sensational news in the county.

Of course, that was more than ten years later.

The current bedding factory, although it has suffered a considerable impact with the development of the times, is still a well-known unit in the county on the surface.

The site of this clothing factory is next to a busy city, which is considered to be a "prosperous" area in Xin County.

The reason why Fang Hongan chose to get off here was that, on the one hand, he was about to vomit and wanted to get off early to relieve the pain. Anyway, this place was not far from the Dongmen Well that Liao San mentioned, and it would not take more than ten minutes to walk there.

On the other hand, according to Fang Hongan’s plan, this clothing factory is also one of his alternative channels for collecting bee-proof clothing materials.

For now, let's just do some preliminary exploration.

After getting off the car, Fang Hongan first leaned against a big tree beside the road and vomited for a while, then took two sips of the water handed to him by Wang Tong. When he felt much better, he called Wang Tong to go to the gate of the clothing factory.

The gate of the clothing factory faced the main road. As soon as Fang Hongan and Wang Tong reached the gate, they were stopped by two middle-aged men in security uniforms.

Fang Hongan noticed a large-character poster on the outer wall of the security room commending outstanding employees. He suddenly had an idea and picked the name of a deputy workshop director named Li Daqiu, saying that he was here to see him.

The two guards were ready to let them in, but man proposes, God disposes. Just at this moment, a few people came out from inside, and the deputy director of the workshop named Li Daqiu was among them.

The security guard called them to meet, and the other party said as soon as he looked up that he didn't know Fang Hongan and Wang Tong at all.

As expected, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong were blasted out as soon as they walked halfway in.

Fang Hongan's forehead was full of black lines.

Wang Tong also lamented his bad luck.

The two men walked out with helpless looks on their faces, turned around, and were about to go to the East Gate Well.

At this time, a figure carrying two large bags suddenly approached.

The man carrying the load looked at the two men as if they had seen a savior, put the load on the ground, and said pleadingly: "Two brothers! Can you help me out?"
