The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 136 After all, it's a matter of money (please subscribe)

  The temperature has risen in the past two days, the ice and snow have begun to melt, and they are mixed with the rotten green onion mud, and the road is covered with black mud.

   The taste is not as strong as chicken manure, but it is particularly pungent. Some are particularly sensitive to the smell of onion, and can even be smoked to the point of redness.

   Most of the blue photos are shrouded in a special poisonous gas.

   Even someone like Lu Dong, who is used to smelling onion for a little while, and who is often nurtured by the smell of chicken manure from Uncle Tie's chicken farm, can't stand it.

   When walking on the road, in addition to a full-coverage helmet, you also wear a large mask.

   Fortunately, the county town is quite clean. In the warm sunshine in the afternoon, Lv Dong's car parked at the entrance of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and took his bag into the bank to deposit money.

   The same as before, a lot of loose change.

   There were a lot of people today, and after queuing for a while, it was Lu Dong’s turn.

   It was the female staff who received him again. Seeing Lu Dong lined up at the window, she did not hesitate to ask for help from behind.

   Lu Dong did not live up to his expectations, and took out stacks and stacks of good change.

   The female staff member smiled at him and said, "Save money?"

   Lu Dong also laughed: "Save money."

  The female staff stopped talking, and buried her head in ordering money with another person.

   The people behind Lu Dong will inevitably complain. After all, it takes a lot of time to order the change.

   Lu Dong has a good mentality and pretends not to hear it. In this case, it is impossible to get angry with others.

   There were also people who turned sideways and looked at the stacks of banknotes curiously. Although they were all change, they were not a small amount when added together.

   After a while, when the money was ordered, the female staff looked up and asked, "25,000 yuan."

  Lu Dong nodded: "Yes, 20,005."

  When he first entered December, he bought a house from Qian Rui, and he only had 10,000 in the bank deposit.

   In the past 20 days, the Mala Tang business has been very hot, and the braised pork and biscuits stall has remained stable. Lu Dong left more liquidity and took out a whole number to deposit in the bank.

  In this way, the deposit in his card rose to 35,000.

   As before, Lu Dong didn't rush to leave immediately after saving the money, and found a bench to sit for a meeting.

   Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man came over.

   "Hello." The middle-aged man handed out a cigarette: "Which village is my brother from?"

  Although there is no current ban on smoking in public places, Lu Dong couldn’t take things from strangers and waved his hand to refuse: “No.”

  The middle-aged man sat next to him and said, "I'm not a bad person."

   Lu Dong heard his accent. He was a local, but he was not a bad person. He couldn't tell from his appearance, so he raised his guard and asked directly, "Is something wrong?"

   The middle-aged man said with a smile: "I just saw my brother saving money..."

   As soon as he heard the word money, Lu Dong subconsciously glanced at the security guards in the lobby. He only heard that Qingzhao followed people out of the bank to rob money, but never heard of anyone working in the bank.

   He reached into his bag with one hand and grabbed the hard cigarette case with the tickling peppers.

   The dead itchy hotties are not low in lethality.

"Brother, I just see how much change you have saved, and I want to discuss something with you." The middle-aged man felt Lu Dong's alert, and simply moved a little far away to show that he was not malicious, and said, "I will I want to talk about a business. Look, you have a lot of change, which is inconvenient to store and not worth spending. I mean, I will use the whole money for your change in the future."

   This is a business that he watched people do in Quannan, and it is indeed profitable and profitable.

   Lu Dong did not let his guard down, and the middle-aged man said again: "I will exchange 100 yuan for you 102 yuan in change, which will save you a lot of trouble. Don't people say that time is money."

   Hearing this, Lu Dong remained vigilant, but somewhat understood what the other party meant.

   "You use change again and go to the market to exchange other people's whole money?" Lu Dong asked.

   The middle-aged man smiled: "I didn't expect my brother to be a sensible man."

   Lu Dong said: "98 for 100?"

  The middle-aged man touched his face, but did not answer.

   Lu Dong used to be a small businessman, and he has seen people in similar occupations. Before the rise of digital payment, many of them went to the store to do this.

   He said directly: "98 for you 100, if you want, we can try to make it a little smaller first, if you don't want it, forget it."

   The middle-aged man shook his head: "I won't make any money with this."

  Lu Dong didn't say much: "That's fine."

   Seeing the bank security coming, Lu Dong stood up and went out, got on a motorcycle and hurried away, looking back from time to time and seeing that no one was following, he was relieved.

   That person should be in the business of changing money, maybe a part-time job. Qingzhao doesn't have a large bus company, so he probably went to the bank and waited for customers.

   If you have a relationship with the bus company, changing change is also a very profitable business, but then it basically disappeared.

   It was still early, so Lu Dong didn't go back to the university town immediately.

   In this market, not only wholesale vegetables, but also a lot of frozen seafood and cooked meat.

   Entering a row of gatehouses, Lu Dong quickly found a shop selling braised pork, stopped the car in a random corner, and observed for a while.

   This is the largest wholesale farmers market in Quanqingzhao. Although it can’t keep up with the Shilibao in the southeast outer ring of Quanqingzhao, the flow of people is also very large.

   Lu Dong watched the meeting, and there were not many people who went to buy braised vegetables one after another. There has always been a market for braised water in Quannan, and many people like it.

  It may be that people in the market eat irregularly. Although it has been a while since the meal time, people who buy braised pork have never stopped.

Lv Dong went out of the market, walked west along North Railway Road, came to the vicinity of the railway station, glanced at the high-rise buildings under construction, turned to Zhanqian Street, not too far from Cheng Lifeng Meat Store, there was a small house. Butcher shop.

   It is about 100 meters away from the closed Cheng Lifeng butcher shop. The shop is very small, only about a dozen square meters.

  Lu Dong thought for a while, then supported the motorcycle and entered the store.

   "What dishes do you want?" the middle-aged boss greeted.

   In the winter, braised pork is placed in a pot and placed on a chopping board, which looks very attractive.

   Lu Dong glanced at it and pointed to a tray: "Boss, come and pound the pork head! Cut it straight up!"

  The middle-aged boss said: "Good!"

   While the boss was cutting the pork head, Lu Dong asked, "Boss, how is your business?"

   The middle-aged boss smiled: "It's okay, small business, enough to support the family."

   Lu Dong asked with a smile, "I heard that there was an accident with a braised pork seller on this street, doesn't it affect the business?"

"Hey, how long will it be affected?" The middle-aged boss said happily: "In those ten days, few people bought braised pork, and it returned to normal in less than half a month. How big a thing can affect our people's eating. Good mouth?"

   Lu Dong said: "That's right, it's not like this, it's over, it's time to eat and drink."

  The middle-aged boss put the sliced ​​pork head in a convenient bag: "You're right, when you see something delicious, whoever still remembers that **** thing, just put some cracked shells, it's not a big deal."

   He lowered his voice: "To put it in a bad way, even in a restaurant in the county seat, how many people use that thing, one slap can't count!"

   Lu Dong took the pork head, paid the money, and went out.

  Before getting into the car, he took out a piece of pork head from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, he frowned.

   Not to mention the taste, this pork head was obviously overcooked, it didn't have that crispy chewiness, it made me feel tired after eating it.

   It may also be that he is used to eating the water from Lujia Village, and his mouth is a bit sloppy on the stew.

  There are many things in the pig's water. In addition to the taste, the temperature is also very important.

Lu Dong swallowed his food, put on his helmet and gloves, and went to other streets. Due to factors such as the general environment, there were very few restaurants in the county town that sold braised food. to four.

   One of them, similar to how he set up a street stall in a university town.

   After leaving the county seat, Lu Dong went to the nearby Xianggong Town. This is a big town, and there is also a braised meat shop. In the name of buying pork head meat, he also chatted with the boss for a while.

   These days, there is not much competition, and the business of braised meat shops is good. The incident of Cheng Lifeng has no effect on the shops that are not in the county seat.

  After all, the speed of information dissemination is limited. Newspapers like the Quannan Evening News, at the township level, are basically only subscribed by public units.

   As for the news from Qingzhaotai, few people really read it.

   This kind of small TV station can attract audiences, one is a song-on-demand station, and the other is a pirated TV series and movie.

  Qingzhaotai has released a notice and is ready to release "Han Zhu Ge Ge".

   Authorization? Today's county-level small TV stations don't need it at all.

   If you have the ability, you will come to file a lawsuit, and the local government alone will not be easy to deal with.

  People from many small places used to be familiar with Hong Kong films and Zhou Xingxing and others. In addition to the video hall, in fact, thanks to the local small TV stations.

  Lv Dong saw Mr. Xu for the first time in a movie broadcast by Linxian TV. Yun Zhonglong's back full of chivalrous spirit left a deep memory for many young men.

   He went to a nearby town for a turn. Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Dong hurried back to the university town, put the car into the market, and asked Erjiao: "Sanhei, Brother Jiao, have you had dinner yet?"

   Jiao San's black eyes left the novel: "Not yet."

   Lu Dong bought several servings of pork head meat to taste, and gave one to each person, saying, "I bought it, try it."

   The remaining portion in his hand was given to Qiao Weiguo.

  Qiao Weiguo wore a bright bald head, took a bite, and frowned: "The meat made by my aunt is delicious."

   "No!" Jiao Shougui replied, "I bought the water from your Lujia Village. The pork head is cooked, the difference is too big."

   Jiao Sanhei muttered, "It would be nice to have meat."

   Jiao Shougui said: "There is also a gap between meat and meat, just like the braised pork in Dongzi. It tastes so good, it smells good."

   "How about Brother Dong and Wei Guo have the best business!" Jiao Sanhei ate it with relish.

  Free meat, of course it tastes delicious.

   It was getting late. Lu Dong was about to take off his military coat and put it on. He touched the pocket of the military coat, and there was something cold. He grabbed the red thread tied to it and lifted it out.

   But it was the safety pendant that Heidan gave him last night. Heidan also told him to put it on, but he put it in his pocket and forgot it when he got home.

   Lu Dong took off his military coat, thought for a moment, stretched the red thread and put it on his neck. It was inconvenient to put the pendant on the outside of the clothes, so he simply tucked it into the collar.

  The stone textured Ping An buckle is cool and comfortable to wear.

   In the next two days, Lu Dong took the time to go to the surrounding towns in the afternoon to check on the braised meat shop, and even went to the primary school in the village to see it.

In 1995, the village raised funds for a renovation. The roof of the grass hut in the primary school was replaced with red tiles, but the adobe body of the house was very broken, and some windows were not tightly closed. In order to prevent the children from being blown by the north wind, the village was located on the north side of the house. Tack on plastic sheeting to keep out the wind.

   There are so many village primary schools like this in Qingzhao. If you want to rebuild, you have to rely on the village.

   It all comes down to one word - money!

  Someone needs to do things, and the third grandfather, Lu Zhenlin, is ready to carry a heavy burden.

   Those who were born in this place, no matter how much or how little, always do their best.
