Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? Shuo → Net provides you with wonderful novels to read.

Since Liu Dazhuang wanted to go as well, Li He asked the older sister to bake a few more pancakes for them, and he took another five yuan from his pocket. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net





Before the sky brightened, the two brothers hurriedly got up and scooped up the bags filled with eels from the ditch and placed them on the handcart.

Liu Dazhuang didn't even need the brothers to call for him. He just came over. This saved them a lot of trouble. They didn't have to go into the alley to call for him later.

He first went to North Street and unloaded a few bags. This side was similar to South Street.

Li He said to Li Long, "You keep watch here. Have you two memorized the way? You can go to the one who sells out first. If you get lost, just ask someone. Do you understand?"

The two nodded in unison.

"If you encounter them, endure it for now. Don't act according to your temper. This place is different from home. If they want to pick a fight, run first. Don't worry about anything else. In any case, safety first."

"We're not stupid. When there are so many people, what else can we do but run?" Da Zhuang said with a smile.

"No matter how many people there are, you are not allowed!"

"Alright, hurry up and take Da Zhuang to South Street. There are already people buying vegetables. I'll go back to my work first. It's more than 300 catties." Li Long opened the bag and rolled it up. If people wanted to buy eels and loaches, it would be easy for them to choose.

When he arrived at South Street, he set up his stall in the same position as yesterday. He placed his handcart at an open space far away. Although it was a little far away, it was still under his eyelids and he wouldn't be led by others.

Just like the day before, they ate two pieces of pancakes and drank some water. Then, they went to greet a few aunties who came to buy groceries with Liu Dazhuang. After that, they asked Da Zhuang to support them, and Li He followed behind with his arms crossed. Da Zhuang's way of doing things was still quite swift, much better than him.

In just a short while, more than 50 kilograms of loach and more than 30 kilograms of ricefield eels had been sold. It was much better than yesterday. After all, there were old customers from yesterday at the bottom. Besides, the tickets to buy meat were limited. Loach and ricefield eels did not need tickets and were cheaper than meat.

Seeing that Da Zhuang could handle things here, he could go to the provincial capital without worry. "Da Zhuang, I'll go first. I'll go to the provincial capital. Go home after you meet Lao San. Don't wait for me, I'll go myself. I'll go home."

"Got it. Go do what you do." Da Zhuang was extremely excited. Oh my, in just a short while he had earned a few tens of dollars. Today was an eye-opener.

Li He put a few more food stamps in his pocket and hurried to the bus station.

As. "Da Da Only If You Chen Only Bus Wan Yun Bus, there, there were Only a Only Bus buses had as to. As She She Wang, She Window, Wang, Su as Soon as Yi Wang

"Comrade, 50 cents," said an old lady with a tattered canvas bag. After receiving the money, she tore a ticket and gave it to Li He.

After an hour on the bus, he went straight to the bus stop. He couldn't find the bus route he remembered. After all, it had been 30 years. Li He could only ask the person next to him, "Brother, how do I get to the seafood wholesale market?"

It was not the first time the person next to him had seen a country bumpkin like Li He, who was wearing tattered shoes and a patched shirt. He said politely, "Are you talking about the Provincial Aquatic Products Company? '

Li He heard that. Yes, it was a seafood company! It was still run by the state and was similar to the supply and marketing cooperative. The cooperative would also buy goods from individuals, such as fur, bristles, herbs, mushrooms, etc. There was no private wholesale market. "Brother, yes, yes, it's the seafood company. Can you please tell me the way?"

"Take Bus 3 to the end to Shouchun Road, at the intersection of Shouchun Road and Fuyang Road."

"Thank you, Brother." Li He's memory gap immediately recovered. Although there were many changes in the city in the future, the road names had not changed much.

The bus was running on the road with an air bag on its back. When it was filled with natural gas, it looked dangerous. At this time, it cost 1 cent per stop, and 14 stops would cost him a total of 14 cents.

The seafood company's ground was full of water stains. The vehicles from the lower level seafood companies were transporting goods. Li He could not be bothered with the fishy smell in the air.

After walking around, Dong Xuebing finally found an office. But before he could enter, he was stopped by someone. "Hey, hey, I'm talking to you. Why are you looking around?"

"Hello, I'm here to look for someone. Is your manager here?" Li He turned his head and saw an old man dressed in grey standing in front of him. Li He's mouth cracked into a smile, but this fawning smile made him feel uncomfortable.

The old man stared at Li He and sized him up from head to toe. There was always a trace of disdain in his eyes. Li He thought to himself, "Sure enough, clothes make the man. It's normal for me to dress like this in the countryside for three years, but when I come to the city, I will be looked down upon."

"You are tired. Give me a cigarette." Before coming, Li He went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two packs of Hongtashan cigarettes for 1.70 RMB. Although Li He does not smoke now, he was a heavy smoker after 25.

After receiving Li He's Hongtashan, Li He opened it and took a stick. Li He chuckled and asked, "How is it? Does it taste good? "

In Li Du's previous life, he had been in the military system for more than ten years. After that, he had run his own business for more than twenty years. He could tell what kind of person he was looking at. This old man wasn't some kind of virtuous person. As the saying goes, 'little rascals are hard to deal with', it wasn't rude to give him a pack of cigarettes, and the other party wouldn't try to bribe him. This type of person was difficult to deal with, but they were also the most practical type of person.

The old man puffed out a smoke ring and pointed at Li He. "Little comrade, we are here to serve the people. Why are you looking for our manager?"

Li He said with a smile, "We're from the south of the Huaihe River. As you know, there's a lot of rain during the rainy season. Eels and loaches are everywhere in the fields and ditches. The rice seedlings can't store water, which seriously affects the grain production. So, our village actively eliminates the pests and catches a lot of them. But as you know, eels and loaches are fat and nutritious. With the purpose of serving the people and improving their living standards, we want to see if your aquatic products company will accept them.

The old man squinted and said, "I thought it was something important. Come with me, I will pass a message to you. I don't care if the manager sees it or not."

Li He slapped his thigh and said, "No matter what, I will still owe you a favor."

He followed the old man through a small door and went directly to the second floor. The old man turned his head and said, "Wait here. Don't walk around. I will go in and ask."

Li He hurriedly agreed. After a while, the old man came out and waved at Li He. "Come in quickly. This is our Manager Wang."

The old man led Li He to a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. The man had dark skin, a full forehead, and a wide chin. He looked like a strong man. The old man led them in and left. The manager asked, "Your village only let a young man like you come here?"

Li He did not dare to say that he did it for himself. He could only play along and then play dumb. "Manager Wang, it's all for the people. It's the same no matter who comes. The key is that I have good legs. I can run more and grow taller. Besides, the return ticket costs one dollar. It's a waste of money if one more person comes. "

Manager Wang looked at Li He and found it funny. "Can you make the decision? Let me tell you the truth. No one cared about this loach eel in the past, and no one was willing to eat it. But in the past two years, the market has risen. We have basically given it to our brother provinces like Beijing and Shanghai. How much do you want? If it's a small amount, we don't care."

When Li He heard this, he could only suppress his excitement and said, "Manager Wang, I can make the decision. We promise to have at least 1,000 pounds of it every day. We will not let the leader down."

Manager Wang frowned and said, "Little comrade, this amount is a little small. Anyway, I want as much as you can. I don't want the dead ones or the small ones. Can't we start from the bottom?"

Li He hurriedly said in an exaggerated tone, "Leader, don't worry. I will not let the country's interests be harmed. Otherwise, I will be shot."

After leaving the aquatic products company, Li He was most satisfied with the purchase price. The loach was 21 cents, and the eel was 31 cents, which had seriously exceeded his expectations. He had collected 16 cents for the loach and 22 cents for the eel. In other words, the loach could earn 5 cents, and the eel could earn 9 cents. Although it seemed small, there was a lot of it. These days, the eel and loach were almost like spirits in the ground. If he bought them in the nearby villages, the quantity would not be small.

Li He could only mutter in his heart, "Ancestors of the eel, Great God of Loach, if you die without descendants, don't blame me. Without me, you will not be able to avoid the pesticides and fertilizers in the future."
