Reborn to be rich

Chapter 37

"Uncle Yigong, it's okay to have tofu without steamed buns. Let auntie steam some steamed buns and bring them here! With steamed buns, your business will be better." Zhang Guodong was also happy to see Uncle Yigong's business booming.

"Your Uncle Yifeng has already steamed buns at home, and you can bring them over later. I really regret not getting oil cakes and ointment. The business I just came here is better than mine." Uncle Yigong said, looking aside The oil cake seller, he is a oil cake seller in the county town, and he knew that Qingyun Temple will hold a meeting tomorrow, so he came early today, but he didn't expect the business to be so good in one morning.

I hadn’t eaten in the morning, but I ate two bowls of bean curd and two pancakes at Uncle Yigong’s place. Uncle Yigong didn’t want the money and Zhang Guodong finally gave it to me. Someone from the brigade came to call for a drum rehearsal. Zhang Guodong and his father came to the entrance of the brigade. All are ready.

Putting on the gongs and drums team costumes, Zhang Guodong started the rehearsal recently, contacted each of the two sets of drums three times, and everyone was very satisfied. At this time, Wang Mancang, who was beating the gongs, walked towards him.

"Guodong, it's really good. It's different if you read a lot of books. I just explained to your father about using your tractor to pull the head drum tomorrow. You can talk to you."

"Uncle Mancang, is this telling me on behalf of the brigade? How do you use the tractor? Do you, the brigade captain, lease it or use it for free in the village?"

Wang Mancang asked Zhang Guodong this question when there were the most people. He wanted Zhang Guodong to offend others. If he didn’t agree today, he would be stingy and selfish. Zhang Guodong, in the end, also owed his credit to Wang Mancang.

"What are you talking about? Why are you so clear about this matter? It will take half a day tomorrow. Don't everyone in the village watch you donate the tractor?" Wang Mancang has been the village chief for 5 years, and he is also tactful. a lot.

"That is, our family contributes to the village. The gongs, drums and clothing in the village are all paid in advance by the second team. Uncle Mancang, when will you settle the accounts? Our village brigade will not be unable to take out this little money. Let our team bear the burden." Bar!"

Seeing that Zhang Guodong brought the topic to the account of the village, Wang Mancang couldn't say a word for a long time, turned around and left the crowd.

Some people in the village who didn't know anything knew that the gongs and drums team rented these things from the second team. At this time, Zhang Guodong dared to say that Wang Mancang's account problems must be Wang Mancang's fault. The mayor's chances are great.

After playing the drums, it was already noon, Zhang Guodong came to the gate of Qingyun Temple, there were already a lot of people, and the surrounding villages would come and walk around when they heard the sound of Zhangjialing drums. Tomorrow is July [-]th.

Uncle Yigong’s tofu nao was eaten by noon, and there were very few people eating it. He also planned to pack up his things and go home in the afternoon, but the jelly and noodles of Heizi’s family became hot. Many young men and women were wandering around the temple. Many single men and women are also wandering around under the pile of old pagoda trees, probably waiting for someone to meet to appear.

"Uncle Jiu, how is business?" Zhang Guodong saw Uncle Jiu cutting meat at the door of the tent from afar.

"It's okay! It's too late to sell more than 30 bowls today!" Uncle Jiu said happily, before the real meeting, 30 bowls of mutton steamed buns cost 15 yuan, which is more than digging stones for a week. more.Turning back to his own booth, he saw his mother and his younger sisters trying on clothes with customers. It took only half a day for everyone to understand some shopping guide skills. Zhang Guodong was also very happy to see it.

"Mom, how is business?"

"Don't bother asking, I'm so busy! Hurry up and greet the guests... This shirt is at least 6 yuan, no less..."

Zhang Guodong entered the tent and saw that his father was also piled up in men's clothes to greet customers, but men's clothes were rarely asked. Zhang Guodong felt that no matter what time it was, women always liked shopping the most.

Zhang Guodong took some of the fastest-bought Green Army children's clothing out of the tent, and the crowd inside became less crowded.He found that when he came to you and started selling clothes, there were not so many people bargaining with him. Finally, when he came back to his senses, most of these people were familiar, and he had seen them in the surrounding villages before pulling stones.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Guodong realized that nearly a hundred pieces of clothes had been sold out of stock. According to this situation, the stock at home in the past three days must not be enough.

"Mom, let's do it now! It's four o'clock and we haven't had lunch yet!"

"Son, go and eat quickly! Guotao, you and Pingping go to eat too! Come on, I'll give you the money!" The mother generously gave 5 cents to each of them this time, and then asked Heizi's father to give it to him. Fifth Aunt made a bowl of noodles, but she was too busy selling things to eat.

It was the first time Zhang Wenqing and Zhang Wenshu sisters got so much pocket money. They held their hands and looked at their mother aside. After seeing it, the fifth aunt was polite and did not object.

Zhang Guodong came to Heizi's stall, and Heizi's father brought him a three-in-one package of jelly, noodles, and rolled noodles, which made him full.Then he brought a bowl to his mother, and let her rest for a while to fill her stomach.

After 5 p.m., the lively crowd gradually dispersed, and all the booths began to be cleaned up. Those who did not have tents collected the goods and left the bed boards in place to occupy the space, otherwise they would be seized by others tomorrow morning.

"Guodong, don't come over and sit down, everyone is waiting for you!" Uncle Jiu is in charge of watching the stall today and he won't go back at night. Heizi's father, Yi Gong, and Liping's father are all in Uncle Jiu's steamed bun stall.

"Everyone is having a meeting here!" Zhang Guodong laughed.

"You led us to do all these businesses, Guodong. I think we should call you over when we sit together." Father Heizi said beside him.

"Yes, you guys are waiting for me to get everyone a dish." Uncle Jiu went down and quickly brought up a plate of mutton, which is not bad to eat cold.

"Let me first talk about my mutton stall. I sold a total of 93 bowls today. A sheep only sold for a quarter and I got 48 yuan. I used Liping's 6 yuan and 4 buns to give you 41 yuan and 6. I have 82 yuan left." 20 yuan, the cost of my sheep is [-] yuan, and today's profit is about [-] yuan!"

Uncle Jiu quickly calculated his profit today and reported it to everyone.

"Everyone likes to eat your mutton steamed buns in the morning. Tomorrow morning is the time to see the results. I sold three cylinders of tofu brains today and only bought it for more than 12 yuan. In addition, your sister-in-law's steamed buns sold for 18 yuan. 6 Gross 5, the profit is all together, and the cost of soybeans and flour cannot be calculated." Uncle Yi Gong said.

"I probably sold more than 300 bowls a day, and bought 44 yuan and 8 cents. The profit was about 30 yuan, and I didn't calculate it carefully." Heizi's father said happily. His business is doing well today, and everyone can see see you.

Li Ping's father didn't say anything, so he earned 6 yuan and 4 flour. There was no cost to use his own flour. He only needed to send the buns to Uncle Jiu and he could come to get the money in the afternoon. It was the easiest way to earn money without labor.

"Uncle Jiu, you just came here at noon today. It's almost time for lunch. It's not bad to sell nearly a hundred bowls today. As long as it tastes good, everyone will definitely eat it tomorrow. I'm sure there will be a lot of people tomorrow morning, when Uncle Jiu If you can’t do it, please ask some helpers!” Zhang Guodong was also happy when he saw that everyone was happy to make money, as long as they tasted the sweetness, everyone would not only focus on the land at home, It's easy to get rich if you open your mind.

Everyone said that Uncle Qibo was coming, and then Uncle Yifeng and the second brother also came. Everyone was envious of being able to earn money by setting up a stall at the gate of Qingyun Temple, and said together that Zhang Guodong must not forget everyone when he has a chance to make money next time, especially It's the second brother, Zhang Guodong has already felt that he is a little lost, and his personality is not suitable for the catering business.

The sky was getting dark, and Zhang Guodong heard the sound of the gongs and drums in the village. Tomorrow is the official performance. Everyone is very enthusiastic. The country people can have fun after a year, let alone in his own village. Zhang Guodong came to the village The brigade turned out that the Yangko team was also rehearsing.

At four o'clock in the morning on July [-]th, Zhang Guodong was in a daze when he heard his mother knocking on the door outside. After opening the door, his father had already filled up the washing water and waited for them to wash their faces. Guo Rui was still sleeping and didn't want to get up. The others loaded all the goods that needed to be replenished today on the tractor.

……

When the first morning sun rose from the east, Baiyun was walking with the villagers on the way to Zhangjialing, and the annual Qingyun Temple Fair was here. This is a big event in Ganjing Township, and basically everyone in the township will go Take a look around, there are too few entertainment facilities at this time, and all collective activities seem to be very lively.

"Baiyun, show me later how handsome your love brother is! My lovely little sister Baiyun is gone!" The sister-in-law at the side whispered when she saw that there were no men around.

"Fourth sister-in-law..." Bai Yun turned her head shyly and was about to leave. Women in the village sometimes spoke very explicitly, and Bai Yun was often at a loss when she heard her sisters-in-law talking to her.

"Hey, why are you shy? Sister-in-law is telling you the truth! When I see your love brother later, don't be a fool. He will say whatever he says. It won't be rare when you marry into someone's family. Also, he Don't be too polite to buy anything for you, it will be difficult for you to want it after you get married." A group of sisters-in-law and aunts all talked to Bai Yun.

Since Zhang Guodong sent the stewed beef to Baiyun's house last time, Baiyun's mother quickly spread the news to the whole village, making the matchmakers in the village very angry.Baiyun's appearance is well-known in Ganjing Village, and I don't know how many young men are thinking about it, so Baiyun's sisters-in-law came to her house to ask about Zhang Guodong, how could Baiyun's innocent character be hidden, what should he do? Said everything that should not have been said.

Today, the second team of Ganjing Village got up early to go to the Qingyun Temple to visit the temple fair. The men walked in front, the women and children walked behind, and there were more than 30 people in a group, and everyone on the road was also lively.

There were quite a lot of bicycles on the main road this morning, most of them were peddlers from the county town or other townships who went to Qingyun Temple to sell things. Baiyun's father got up at four o'clock in the morning and went to Qingyun Temple by bicycle. This kind of temple fair pepper must be sold.

Bai Yun walked to the intersection of Xida Road and Guan Road, and found that the road was full of people going to Qingyun Temple. He looked in the direction of Zhangjialing and felt a little uneasy.

This morning, she deliberately put on the newly bought clothes, braided her hair for an hour, and was always looking forward to the scene when Zhang Guodong saw her for the first time.

Downhill from Guanlukou to Zhangjialing Village, there are a lot of people.When it was 200 meters away from Qingyun Temple, Baiyun saw that both sides of the main road were lined up with all kinds of vendors, at least hundreds of them.

"There are too many people here! Let's burn incense early in the morning! We will have breakfast after we come out." Baiyun's fourth sister-in-law said loudly.

It is a custom for women to hold children running around and come to the temple to offer incense, otherwise the Buddha will blame them.The children were delighted with the lively things around them, while the daughters were staring at where they could turn.

"Sister, where did you make an appointment with your love brother?" The fourth sister-in-law looked at Bai Yun and laughed, and Bai Yu was used to her calling Zhang Guodong that way, so she stopped retorting.

"That's right! I didn't tell him where to meet, how could he find me with so many people!" Bai Yun became impatient after speaking.

"Hey! My eldest niece, you didn't even realize that your fourth sister-in-law was joking with you. This is Zhangjialing. It's not easy for him to find you. Just put your heart on it!" The aunt beside her said with a smile.

Only then did Baiyun realize that he had been tricked. He raised his head and was about to turn into the gate of Qingyun Temple when he saw Zhang Guotao and Zhang Ping selling things at the entrance of the largest tent. This place was the busiest place in Qingyun Temple, and there were many people looking at clothes around. .

Zhang Guotao was the first to discover Baiyun, and quickly told his sister at the side, Zhang Ping hurriedly called his mother, brother's girlfriend is here!
"Sister Yun, is that the little brother who sells clothes? He's quite handsome!" The fourth sister-in-law noticed that Bai Yun had been staring there and said, and the others also looked at Zhang Guotao when they heard this.

"Fourth sister-in-law, no! That's Zhang Guodong's younger brother." Bai Yun pointed out shyly.

When Hu Yue'e got out of the tent and saw Bai Yun looking at him shyly, she was overjoyed.The eldest son has a good vision, not to mention the girl's handsome appearance, and her figure is also very good, the only thing that is missing is that her buttocks are a little smaller, but they can still grow when she is young.

Hu Yuee invited a few neighbors to help because she was afraid that there would be too many guests today. When everyone heard that Zhang Guodong's wife was coming, they all got out of the tent to watch Baiyun.

Bai Yun felt shy in his heart when he was watched by so many people. He dodged the crowd and hid behind an aunt, when he heard the bean curd seller talking to her.

"Are you Guodong's object? Come and sit down and eat a tofu nao! You don't need money, you all come and sit." Uncle Yi Gong heard that this is Zhang Guodong's object, so he didn't make the tofu nao on one side, and got up I'm going to invite Baiyun to eat tofu nao at his place.

The sisters-in-law and aunts behind Baiyun all booed and went to eat together, but Baiyun refused to raise his head no matter what.

"Guodong's partner, come to our place. The mutton steamed bun soup is cooked just right. If you come to eat today, everyone in your team will be free." Uncle Jiu was pouring soup outside the tent. His mutton steamed bun was just dawn this morning. The stall was full of people, and Baiyun was very surprised to see that there was a mutton steamed bun shop here. People in the village can eat mutton steamed buns several times a year.

"Sister Yun, come in! Everyone has invited you!" Almost everyone encouraged Baiyun to come in and have a taste. A child had already dragged his mother into the shop, and Baiyun had no choice but to come in even though he didn't want to.
