Chapter 93 Trapping Ximen Village
Seeing that Sang was really angry, Sang Yong had to put down his airs and coaxed in a good voice: "Don't worry, I'm thinking of something now! When I brought in those firecrackers, each one was ten If we can't sell for fifty cents, we'll sell it for twenty cents. We can always sell for fifteen cents.
While it's still dark, I'll go to the countryside, away from the town! The village news is not that fast, it will definitely be sold out. "
Sang's face finally looked better, "Then you have to hurry up. At least you have to pay me back the money you took from me."
"I know, I know." Sang Yong ran away with oil on his feet.
He didn't slow down until he got out of Grindstone Town, thinking about countermeasures.
Sang Rong frowned, "Dad, those people in Dongmen Village must have done it on purpose. What should we do?"
All the money in the family has been exchanged for fireworks and firecrackers. If they cannot be sold, they will have to drink the northwest wind this winter.
Sang Xingchang and the other two were even more anxious, "Head of the township, we lent you the money because we trusted you. It's the Chinese New Year now. It's just that you failed to fulfill your promise to make us a lot of money. You can't let us lose all our money." Bar!"
If that's the case, it doesn't matter who the mayor or the town mayor is, he will definitely never be done with Sang Yong.
Sang Yong's face was as dark as the one at the bottom of the pot, "Why are you so anxious! Isn't it the New Year yet? Let's go! Let's go to the countryside now and fight for these goods to be sold out."
As he said this, he walked in front of him angrily. The township chief thought that no one else could do as well as him. He regretted that he couldn't vent his anger. Fortunately, this was not Fufeng Township, otherwise he would not have the face to see his fellow villagers.
As they walked, the group passed Dongmen Village.
Sang Yong spit on the ground, cursed a few words, and did not go in. Going further was Zhongmen Village. This time they went into the village to drink, but no one came out after shouting for a long time.
Sang Xingchang was so anxious that he knocked on the door of a house and said, "Fellow, would you like to buy some fireworks?"
The other party glanced at them, shook his head, and kindly reminded: "You should go elsewhere to sell it! Our village has bought it."
Sang Xingchang's face turned pale, "So fast?"
The other party nodded straightly, "The girl from the old Han family brought back a bunch of fireworks and firecrackers early this morning. Everyone went to the old Han family to buy them. How much does one firecracker cost for you?"
"Two no, fifteen articles." Sang Xingchang changed his words temporarily.
The other party immediately became unhappy, "Lao Han's daughter only sells a bunch of firecrackers for ten cents, and one firecracker costs ten cents. You can keep it for a while! How dare you sell such a thing at such an expensive price!"
After that, the door closed with a bang.
Sang Xingchang said to Sang Rong with a sullen expression, "Let's go, no one in this village will want firecrackers."
So they could only go to the next Ximen Village.
I thought the situation in this village was similar, but I didn't expect that someone would actually open the door when they wanted to drink.
Mo Laotian was a little surprised when he saw Sang Xingchang, "Aren't you people who set up stalls in the town? Why did you come to our village?"
Sang Xingchang just apologized and said with a smile: "There are still some goods to be cleared. Do you want to buy firecrackers?"
"How much is it?" Guan poked her head out of the room.
When Sang Xingwang saw that there was something going on, he hurriedly said: "Twenty cents, sell it cheaply!"
Sang Xingchang felt uneasy.
Guan's eyes lit up, but she still hesitated, "Can't it be cheaper?"
"Here" Sang Xingchang looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said, "Eighteen cents, no less." "Okay! Give me two." Guan Shixing hurried back to the house to get the money.
He even offered them a drink with great enthusiasm, so half the village came out to pick out firecrackers.
Sang Yong, who was still holding his own identity at the side, didn't care much and hurried over to help.
With the support of people from Ximen Village, a third of the cartload of firecrackers was finally sold before dark.
Then they went to the next village, and gradually they became more courageous. The price increased from 20 cash to 30 cash, and they slowly bargained down the price. Finally, they sold all the fireworks and firecrackers, and recovered some losses.
Sang Rong, who had tasted the sweetness, suggested: "Tomorrow morning we will continue to sell goods in the nearby villages and sell off the rest of what we have at home. Even if we can't make big money, we can still make some small money."
Sang Xingchang nodded excitedly, "That's right, that's right, you can't make money and you can't lose either!"
Sang Xingwang was busy complimenting Sang Rong, "The township chief is still very powerful, and he can survive in desperate situations."
Sang Yong swept away the gloominess of the day and felt a lot more relaxed.
Before dawn the next day, every household was busy, just for tonight's reunion dinner.
Su Tai got out the fish from the water space early in the morning, and some of them were sent to the town to Liu Tiechui, who handed them to Lu County Cheng. After that, he had to send a batch of fish to Dongmen Village. Those were decided by the Han family earlier. .
After Shen Yi left, Su Tai didn't dare to be lazy anymore and hurriedly got up and went into the kitchen to work.
After a year of hard work, she wanted to give Shen Yi a good reward tonight.
You can buy fresh vegetables at the vegetable shop in Mu Shikong. Three hundred coins can buy several kinds of fresh vegetables, and you can also give some to the Su family and the second aunt.
There are fish and shrimps in the water and space, and there is also a killed chicken sent by Xu at home. Of course, she also sent back two fish.
Shen Yi will probably buy some meat when he goes to town later, that's about it.
Shen Yi, who was worried about Su Tai, was already approaching Moshi Town.
This trip was mainly to deliver fish to Liu Tiechui, which was not heavy. The donkey cart ran very fast and was not afraid of wind and snow.
After he handed the things to Liu Tiechui, he took the money and immediately went to the butcher's house in the town to ask for twenty kilograms of pork, both fat and thin with bones.
I went to a restaurant and bought four pounds of mutton and a basket of eggs before heading home.
Su Tai smiled from ear to ear when she saw the meat, and summed up: "The fat meat can be made into some lard, and occasionally change the taste. Pancakes or steamed buns are good, braised pork ribs or stewed in fresh mushroom soup are both excellent. , let’s have another pot of braised pork, braised chicken, and steamed fish. Maybe I’ll make some lean meat dumplings with chives! You haven’t eaten them before, so you can try them.”
Since the two got married, they have been thinking about making money, but they really haven't put their thoughts on food.
Hearing so many delicious foods, Shen Yi didn't want to leave. He was afraid that he would be late and miss the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. He hurriedly said: "It's all up to you. As long as everything you cook is delicious, I'll go to the East Gate first." Village, come back before dark."
At this moment, I just feel very energetic when working.
When he drove the donkey cart to Su's house, he found Mrs. Han educating Su Zhan and the others in the main room with a solemn expression. Su Chunlin helped him unload his things, but his expression was not very happy.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone will temporarily put aside even big things for the sake of good luck. What's going on?
Seeing Shen Yi's confused look, Su Chunlin sighed and said: "Yesterday, someone was injured when firecrackers were set off in Ximen Village. I heard that one eye was blinded on the spot. There were also several people who got up early this morning to set off firecrackers. The firecrackers were found to be dumb, and the whole village was in trouble. I wonder if the firecrackers they bought were ours."
