Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 20 The First Pot of Gold
Early the next morning, Wan Feng got up and packed up the frozen fish.

When it was almost noon, he carried the rake again, and this time he was actually carrying a straw bag to deceive others.

Thanks to yesterday's experience, he fished much faster today than yesterday. Before three o'clock, he finished fishing in the bay, and naturally filled another sack.

Wan Feng made a rough estimate. The two sacks of fish were estimated to be around 20 catties, and they could be sold for at least [-] yuan, which is basically equal to my uncle's income in the team for half a year.

In 1980, it cost about 20 yuan to build a four-room blue brick house. From this comparison, we can see what the concept of [-] yuan is.

Originally, there was only the Gushan Daji market on the fourth day of the lunar calendar, but before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was changed to the fourth day market.

Tomorrow is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Wan Feng decided to ask his uncle to help bring these fish to the market for sale.

During dinner, he asked his uncle Zhu Ping, "Uncle! Is it okay if you don't go to work tomorrow?"

Zhu Ping stared: "What are you doing?"

"I'll hire you to help me get some things to the Xiaogushan market tomorrow, and I'll give you five yuan as a wage."

The uncle curled his lips, "Where are you going to get five yuan?"

I was despised by my uncle.

Wan Feng was not angry at all: "You just tell me whether to do it or not. If you don't do it, I can hire someone else. I don't believe that I can't hire someone for five yuan."

In 1980, the workers only paid thirty or forty dollars a month, but a laborer in the production team didn't know if he could earn five dollars a month. Wan Feng really didn't believe that no one would do it.

"What are you going to do?"

"I have about 200 catties of goods. Tomorrow, you can use a two-wheeled cart to pull me to the market. Five yuan is the hard-earned money. Just the one and two cents you play in poker is enough for you to lose two cents." months."

My uncle went to play four-on-one games starting with a penny every night. Even if he lost five yuan a day, it would be enough for him to lose for two months.

"Bah bah! Crow's mouth, how do you know that I lose every day."

"Don't interrupt, to do it or not to do it?"

"Okay! I won't go to work tomorrow, I'll see what you can come up with."

On the morning of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Ping was dumbfounded when he saw Wan Feng's two sacks of frozen fish.

"Where do you get so many fish?"

"Of course it's in the big river. It can't be dug out on the mountain."

Zhu Ping opened the mouth of the bag and took a look. The water-filled autumn-born roe fish, this kind of fish is still recognized by the locals, and it can be sold for ten cents a catty in the market.

Until then, Zhu Ping did not believe that Wan Feng really had the strength to afford five yuan.

This is Wan Feng's second visit to Xiaogushan Market since the first day on the fourth day of the junior high school.

Zhu Ping went to borrow a two-wheeled cart and pushed the two sacks of fish to the market.

Although at the market, Zhu Ping was still very worried about whether Wan Feng could sell it.

This is the second time for Wanfeng to come to Gushan Bazaar after rebirth. The last time he was just a spectator, but this time he became a stall owner.

He hung a pocket on his chest, which contained all his net worth from renting books, nearly five yuan in change for pocket change, and carried a scale borrowed from a neighbor in his hand, just like a businessman.

He spread the sacks on the ground and arranged the fish neatly one by one, shining silver in the sunlight.

Not long after the stall was opened, someone came to inquire about the price, but the person who inquired about the price was not buying it, but was very curious to see a child in Wanfeng who looked like a dog here.

"Child! Did you sell this fish?"

"Of course, the authentic autumn fish in Yina River, uncle! How many do you want?"

"How much is it?"

"Eight catties!" Wan Feng replied coquettishly, remembering the price that people shouted when they bought seafood in the last episode on the first four days.

"I can't buy that much, how much do you pay for a catty?"

"Buy only [-] cents, how many catties do you want?" Retail sales are of course more expensive, don't think that I have never done business.

The man thought for a minute: "Is it okay for me to buy five cents for four catties?"

Wan Feng picked up the scale and began to pick up fish on the scale: "You are the first customer to open the scale. I will give you a discount. Otherwise, the price will not be sold. You are optimistic about the weight of four catties. Where are you going?" Pack."

The man moved a pocket from behind to break free, and Wan Feng dumped the fish into the pocket with a clatter.

This opened, and it went smoothly beyond Wan Feng's prediction.

"The autumn fish in the first water is old and fat. You eat it this time and think about that time. The money is just right. Uncle, you go slowly."

Zhu Ping was sitting on the two-wheeler behind Wan Feng, his eyes were straight.

"Is there really someone who buys it? I don't think ordinary people will spend money to buy it. Besides, most people don't eat the fish in this river."

Uncle, this is a typical farmer's thinking, and Wan Feng decided to teach him free lessons.

"Don't think that if the common people don't buy it, no one will buy it. There are a lot of teachers, workers and officials in Gushan Commune who eat commodity grain. Their monthly salary is almost as high as your annual salary, and they are much richer than you. As for the things in the river and the sea, it depends on everyone's taste, you don't like to eat things in the river, but some people like... Auntie! Do you want to buy fish?"

Before Wan Feng finished speaking, he went to greet the next customer. If he didn't want to greet him, he would have no time to chat with Zhu Ping anymore.

Zhu Ping watched this nephew doing business in a daze, watching the fish in front of him dwindle.

This guy has quick hands and feet and a quick mouth, and he doesn't know where he got so many sets of farts. Some people didn't plan to buy them at all, and they were completely fooled into buying them.

Zhu Ping was a little confused. When did he learn how to do business?This looks like a veteran!Did he start doing business when he was in Longjiang?
This is impossible!How old is he!
Compared with Zhu Ping's leisure, Wan Feng is busy enough, his hands and mouth are not idle.

In 1980, the market experimentally allowed individuals to do some business. Due to the long-term cutting of the tail of capitalism, people's consciousness has developed the concept that doing business is speculative, so people subconsciously look down on people who do business.

This concept did not gradually change until [-], when many talents began to devote themselves to the business world.

Now let alone children, adults are still evasive when doing business, so when people see a twelve-year-old child selling things, they rush to the novelty, so they all come to watch the fun.

Once there is a crowd, it will naturally bring money. In addition, Wan Feng's brilliance and bluffing make full use of people's herd mentality. If there is one who buys, others will follow.

Wan Feng's fish was bought for three catties for you and two catties for others.

Wan Feng worked hard for more than an hour, sweating all over, until there were only a few small fish left in front of him, and he didn't relax.

The remaining ones are relatively small and a bit inconspicuous.

Wan Feng secretly counted the money and sold it for a total of 35 yuan and [-] cents.

Earnings are good.

Pork was more than [-] cents a catty at the time, and Wan Feng could buy [-] catties of pork with the money he sold.

This can be regarded as his first pot of gold after his rebirth.
