My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 500

   It is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and there is more rain.

   But when it is not raining, it is also hotter.

   Today is sunny and sunny, without a cloud in the sky.

  Chen Ling and the others were walking on the road, with the small car in front and the big cart behind.

  Chen Ling and Wang Qingwen were sitting in Zhao Dahai's car.

  Wang Jusheng and his brother-in-law were sitting on the transport cart of the little sheep.

  Zhao Dahai's car was also full.

   It was something Wang Susu brought to Zhao Dahai and the two sister-in-laws of Shanmao's family.

   In addition, naturally there are also for Liang Yuemin's family.

  For example, when I was picking mushrooms in the mountains yesterday, some wild sweet potatoes I picked by the way were part of it.

  This melon has a very strong fruity aroma.

  'June 6th, sweet potatoes are ripe. In July and a half, the sweet potatoes are rotten. '

  At this time, the wild sweet potato tastes just right.

  Zhao Dahai drove the car and sniffed: "This thing smells so sweet, sweet and fragrant, and it smells better than putting pineapple in the car."

   "That's right, this thing has another name, it's called Mandixiang."

  Chen Ling sat in the back row, reached out and grabbed a few, and shared them with Zhao Dahai and his uncle.

  This kind of wild fruit, although called wild sweet potato, is actually not as big as a sweet potato.

  Red brown, oval, about the size of the belly of a thumb.

  Bringing it over is to eat it fresh.

   "Yeah, you have so many good things here, the mountains are like treasures, there are everything."

  Zhao Dahai held the steering wheel with one hand while stuffing the fruit into his mouth.

   "Fugui, if all these roads are repaired, will there be a chance to sell such good things?"

   "Can I be sure of this? If you want to order takeaway, it depends on whether anyone buys it."

  Chen Ling himself had thought about this for a long time, but later discovered that there are some wild fruits, and it was only after the development of e-commerce in later generations that they really came out of the mountains.

   At that time, everything was sold online.

  It is not possible now. People from all over the east, west, north and south do not know each other much about food, fruits and vegetables.

  So some things, bragging is okay.

   Really want to do it, it is not a matter of patting the head.

certainly.

  Chen Ling obviously thought too far.

Zhao Dahai was very active in his mind, so he just said: "Let's pick up the ones that can be sold first and sell them away. My father and Uncle Zhong can save money to buy sheep after finding the cicada shells. How many treasures are waiting in this mountain?" Let’s develop it? Solve the traffic problem, it’s a natural treasure house.”

  He and the Bobcats are not short of money.

   I am not willing to bother to do business.

  He mentioned this because he had seen too many good things in the mountains since he met Chen Ling.

   Mountain mushrooms, aquatic products, herbs, countless good things.

  How much can the mountain people digest by themselves?

   The rest is wasted.

What a pity.

"Yes, Dahai is right. Even ordinary mountain products can make money. Last time Lingzi saw an acquaintance go to the stockade to collect eggs and sell them on the way. ..."

   It was the first time for my uncle to go out for a long trip. At first, he sat in the co-pilot and watched the scenery along the way without talking.

  Hearing what Zhao Dahai said, he turned around and said: "This is a common thing, as well as wild chestnuts, walnuts, persimmons picked from the mountains, and dried persimmons. There are too many of them.

  By the end of the year, these things sell well.

   New Year’s goods.

  My brother, that guy, used to harvest at the end of autumn every year, and keep it and sell it in the twelfth lunar month.

  It is the same as selling food, earning a little difference. "

   "Oh, brother Qingwen also understands."

  As soon as Zhao Dahai became interested, he started talking nonsense with Wang Qingwen.

  Chen Ling also had a casual conversation.

   Bragging all the way, I don't think the journey is long.

But after all, it’s summer, even if you bring enough water, when you pass by some counties, small towns, or even clear streams, you still can’t help but stop the car to buy some popsicles, or drink some cool stream water to relieve the heat. .

   It takes a day's journey from the county seat to the city by car.

  Depart around 7:00 in the morning and arrive at around 11:00 or 12:00 in the evening.

   It sounds like you can arrive on the same day, as if it is not far away.

  In fact, in this short time, if you take the high speed, you can walk two round trips from Beijing to Hohhot in Inner Mongolia.

  Two back and forth.

   It can be seen how difficult the road on their side is, and how painful it is to walk.

   Up and down, bumps constantly, and detours everywhere.

  However, this kind of situation is too common in this year, and everyone is used to walking frequently.

   It was Wang Qingwen's **** that suffered.

   It was numb and painful, and I couldn't walk when I arrived in the city late at night.

  Wang Jusheng on the cart is similar to his brother-in-law.

  His brother-in-law still got motion sickness on the road, and after a lot of tossing, he felt sleepy and uncomfortable after getting off the car.

   I am no longer so energetic in the village.

   "Is this our city? Where's the statue of the divine bull? Why didn't you see it?"

  Wang Qingwen rubbed his butt, stretched his neck and looked around near the stone lion in front of the vegetable market.

   "Brother, this is a vegetable market. We are here to sell vegetables. The God Bull statue is on the large square near the river beach. It is used to suppress floods, not to protect the vegetable market."

  Chen Ling saw such a funny look on his always upright and serious brother-in-law. It was funny but at the same time he was quite speechless.

   hurriedly pulled him away from the stone lion in front of the gate of the vegetable market.

  In the dark at night, some people will defecate anywhere near the lion, and it is easy to step on the thunder.

   "There are only people in the morning market at two or three o'clock. Now find a place to sleep for a while, and go home to catch up on sleep after the vegetables are sold."

  Chen Ling pointed to not far away, beside many vegetable transport trucks, there were people sleeping soundly with their clothes covered.

  Little Sheep took Wang Jusheng and the two to untie the canvas cover of the transport vehicle to let the vegetables breathe, and then took down some urea bags and mats for everyone to spread on the ground.

  Well, in summer, I don’t pay much attention to it. I just lay down on the floor and fall asleep immediately.

  Little Sheep is used to this routine and is not sleepy.

  He and the equally energetic Chen Lingshou chatted casually by the car, waiting for the market to open.

  During this period, large and small vehicles were still coming one after another, some carrying various goods, and some came to find wholesale purchases with empty vehicles.

   Not far away, next to the vegetable market in the old city, there is a livestock market.

   It is extremely convenient to provide raw meat for the vegetable market.

   At this time, it was also full of vehicles.

  However, the livestock market opens late, and there will be no one until five or six in the morning.

Now it’s all dark like the vegetable market, some are chatting quietly, some are sleeping and resting by the car, and some are wandering around with their hands behind their backs, looking here and there, looking closely at some goods .

  The three of Wang Qingwen couldn't sleep even when they lay down. In such a big vegetable market, there are so many vehicles coming and going here.

   After watching it, I feel a little fresh and indescribably excited.

   It feels like seeing so much of the world at once.

  Then the three of them just didn't sleep, got up and wandered around. Grandma Liu went to the Grand View Garden to look around, and was regarded as a thief several times.

   "Tsk tsk, how many cars do you have to buy? How many tens of thousands of dollars can you afford to buy such a big car? No wonder people pay close attention to it."

  After Zhang Erlian came to the city, he became dumbfounded and speechless.

  Little Sheep told him: "It's not just about the car, the key is about the cargo and the fuel tank."

Wang Qingwen's heart was also ups and downs. Sitting with Chen Ling, he said that it was no wonder that someone went to the mountains to collect eggs and brought them to the market to sell. Such a big market, so many cars to pull, how could they worry about selling? Can't make money?

  Only Zhao Dahai was very familiar with him in the city. He didn't care much about these things. After driving for a whole day, he lay down in the car with the door open and fell asleep soundly.

  I thought I had to wait until the market opened.

   I didn’t expect that because the canvas was open on the car, the car full of vegetables could be seen as soon as the lights were turned on. Many vendors who came in the early morning saw it, got off the car and came up to ask.

   Bids are getting more urgent one by one, as if they are afraid of being snatched away by others.

   "What to do? What to do?"

   "Brother-in-law, the bid is so high, why don't you sell it quickly? There are so many cars waiting over there!"

   "Don't panic, don't panic, listen to your rich brother, we will sell it whenever he says."

  Although Wang Jusheng was trying to persuade his brother-in-law not to panic, his body was actually shaking even more.

  Grandma's, city folks are crazy.

   Purslane, which is free in the village, can be sold for more than one yuan per catty in the city.

   Beans, eggplants, etc. are a little more expensive, but I can understand it a little bit.

   Purslane is a wild vegetable that grows randomly in the fields. In the eyes of farmers, it is not much different from grass.

  Ordinary vegetables and wild vegetables are like this.

   Mountain mushrooms are even more scary.

   After Chen Ling brought down a basket, the group of people beat them with flashlights, and the quoted price made people's hearts tremble.

  And the prices of several kinds of mountain mushrooms are different.

   One is more expensive than the other.

   It is really more expensive than meat.

   At this moment, when they were in a daze, Chen Ling waved his hand: "No, you are lying about the price, let's talk about it when the market opens.

  We prefer to sell loose.

  The selling price is higher when loose. "

  Chen Ling disliked them for lowering the price of wild vegetables too hard, and then wanted to drive people away.

   "Don't, don't, brother, don't worry, there is a lot of back and forth in business, so it's easy to discuss things."

   "Yes, yes, you see so many vegetable carts are still driving here, and the market will open soon, so I won't be able to take care of you."

   A group of people shouted at each other, and after a while, the vegetable cart next to it saw that the price had already been negotiated before the market opened.

   also shouted one after another.

  Most of the cars in the market are here to buy vegetables, but not many sell vegetables.

  Because those who are close, or have been prepared for a long time, more of those people will be sent to the hardest-hit areas.

  Here, on the contrary, there will be more livestock transporters.

   Pigs, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

  So these dealers went shopping for a while, and then came back to Chen Ling.

   It’s still the same reason. The land in the mountainous area is small, and there is not enough food to grow. It is not like the special vegetable base in the plain area. It is easy to collect a cart of vegetables, and it can be transported by truck.

Even if you can receive a cart of vegetables in the mountains, it will take a long time. For example, Kuliu County, Tongshi County, and Wangba City near Lingyun. Lutou Mountain is rich, and it is impossible to dig up some mountain mushrooms to make up the number.

   "Lingzi, I see that those people have a lot of taro and arrowroot on their tractors. They are quite fresh and the quality is not bad. Why do these people look at them and don't want them?"

  The uncle sneaked out quietly to investigate the situation like a thief, and when he came back, he pulled Chen Ling aside and muttered.

   "Brother, don't they be right. After the flood, no matter how many grains and vegetables are destroyed, only the taro and the loving aunt have a bumper harvest.

   If you use these things to make up the numbers, you won't be able to sell them for money. "

   Chen Ling shook his head and smiled, no one is a fool, they can use wild vegetables to make ends meet, and others who live next to the water will also use their brains on those things in the water.

  Unfortunately, it doesn't work in a year of floods.

   "Brother, don't worry about anything else now. You should learn how to bargain first, and then call the second brother. The business of the three of us will be of great use."

   Watching Chen Ling finish speaking, he turned around and went to bargain with the vegetable sellers again.

   A few words and a few words raised the price several notches.

   Between these words, there is a gap of several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars.

  Brother saw it, he couldn't help but his heart beat faster, and his heart surged.

  Grandma's, the business has grown, and it really feels a little bit like turning the clouds upside down.

   I don’t know who my brother-in-law learned his bargaining skills from.

   Coincidentally, they just negotiated a price.

   "Kangdangdang—"

  The door is open, the lights are bright, and the vegetable market is finally open.

  All those who slept got up in one go.

   Some, like Chen Ling and the others, had already negotiated, and they pushed the large scales and yelled to come to the scale.

  Little Sheep was guarding the car, Chen Ling led people under the car to scale the vegetables, and Wang Qingwen was serious about keeping accounts with a notebook.

  Under the light, looking around, there are figures sweating around the vehicles everywhere, busy with work.

  Finally, it was more than five o'clock in the morning, after the weighing was over, the money and goods were cleared, and everything was settled.

   Clutching the heavy money in the torn schoolbag, Wang Jusheng and Wang Qingwen still felt unreal.

   "A cart of vegetables, more than 60,000 yuan, I seem to be dreaming."

   "How to gather victories, what am I talking about, let's follow the rich and make a lot of money, this time in the village, who will dare to look down on you in the future, your father and mother will not regret it."

   "Yes, brother-in-law, I picked mushrooms myself, and the money I paid was nearly a thousand yuan.

   Come a few more times, my family won’t become a million-dollar household, hehe, what’s so good about a ten-million-dollar household, hehehe. "

   "Pfft, what's the matter with you, you fool, are you really a fool?"

   "Don't pay attention to him, this kid is probably happy and silly."

  Everyone is talking about him, but in fact he is also radiant, even the little sheep is happy, and walks a bit floaty.

  But when we left for breakfast, we just left the old town and arrived at the breakfast stall near the river beach.

  Little Sheep walked up to Chen Ling and whispered, "Uncle Fugui, it seems that someone is following us. He followed us when we came out of the vegetable market, and followed us all the way."

   "What, someone is following behind, here to rob?"

   Zhang Er was so young and had no experience in the world, his face turned pale with fright.

  Wang Jusheng frowned and kicked him when he saw this: "What are you talking about, look at your promise, do you still want to work with your rich brother in the future?"

  Chen Ling pretended to look around unintentionally, then went to the back of the car to urinate, and said after returning: "Don't worry, it may be because we have a lot of shipments in the market and want to compete with the car for business."
