Chapter Thirteen, Daoxiang(1/2)
Nan Yi took inventory and found that he now had more than 70,000 Hong Kong dollars, more than 50,000 RMB, 3,700 US dollars, 14 large yellow croakers, 32 small yellow croakers, assorted jadeite, jade jewelry, and several small antiques.
If we calculate based on the current market conditions, this is a wealth that a family will not be able to eat up in several lifetimes; if it is left to future generations, they can only shake it at a food stall and shout: "Master Nan will foot the bill today!"
"
By the way, it has to be an ordinary food stall, the kind opened in an industrial area, not a seafood food stall.
Otherwise, just wait to be beaten out by others.
Nan Yi and Lai Biao met by the Shenming River.
"I heard that you have business to discuss with me?"
Different from what he imagined, Lai Biao is not only not big-hearted and ferocious in appearance, but also looks a bit elegant. This made Nanyi change his judgment on Lai Biao. The opponent should not be a black market controlled by fists, but by his surname.
This made Nan Yi, who originally planned to talk nonsense with Lai Biao, change his conversation style.
"Comrade Lai, what do you think about the country's resumption of the college entrance examination?"
"What would you think if I were to say that I'm already reviewing?"
Lai Biao rebelled and led an army.
"That only shows that Comrade Lai's family is very knowledgeable, and his parents are also far-sighted people. In this case, it is easier to talk about. The business I want to talk about is selling college entrance examination guides. Comrade Lai, take a look first."
Nan Yi took out a printed guide and handed it to Lai Biao.
"Very good, did you make it up?" Lai Biao said after reading it.
"right."
"How much do you want to sell it for?"
"Ten dollars."
"Is it a bit expensive?"
"The reason for the fight was the time difference. News of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced in the newspaper, so we started selling, and the profit we made was the money we made in the first three days. We only sold for three days, so we stopped immediately and sold the remaining goods at low prices.
give others.
Since Comrade Lai is doing black market business, he naturally has contacts with people in black markets in other cities and has his own channels for purchasing and selling goods. It should be no problem to distribute the college entrance examination guide, right?"
"It's no problem to distribute the goods. It's no problem to pay ten yuan a piece. The key is how much do I want to give you?"
"I'm not used to haggling back and forth. Three and a half yuan is the price I want. I don't care how much you plan to make for others. If I do it, I can make at least four yuan."
"The price is quite reasonable, but since you've already revealed your secrets, aren't you afraid that I'll print it myself?"
Lai Biao had an evil smile on his face.
"Comrade Lai, look in that direction. If you keep walking, you can go to Myanmar. There is always a war there. Killing people is not very expensive. And in that direction, if you go further, you can go to Africa, where the price is cheaper.
.
And in this direction, you can go all the way to South America. The guerrillas in the jungle there are very tough, and the asking price is not too high.
Even if you don't go this far and look directly to the north, there are still many difficult times there, and people are willing to fight for anything in order to live a good life.
The world is not peaceful...
On the African continent, there is an animal called the honey badger. I like to call it Flathead Brother.
It has a very bad temper. It is either in a fight or on the way to a fight. Moreover, it is bound to retaliate. Once you offend it, it will fight you to death and follow you to take revenge from morning to night.
I am a strong laborer, and I can earn more than ten work points a day in the brigade. At the end of the year, I can get at least thirty or forty yuan. During the Chinese New Year, I can cut some meat and drink some wine, which is great."
Nan Yi suddenly patted his head and said apologetically: "Oh, Comrade Lai, I'm sorry, my brain is not working well. In the words of the foreign doctor, I have an 'attention deficit'.
Look at me, as we talk, we forget that we are talking about business.
Let's continue... You said, I want three and a half dollars. Isn't this price too high? I'm not alone here, there are many people waiting to share the money."
Lai Biao smoked a cigarette, his eyes piercing deeply into Nan Yi's body, as if he wanted to see him through. After a long time, he said quietly: "It's a deal, but I have to wait until I get the money back before we can close it."
"Okay, let's talk about the details."
Nan Yi didn't like the way he discussed business with Lai Biao, he didn't like it very much.
He regards himself as a clay pot and others as porcelain. He threatens the other party with shoes by using bare feet.
Only this time, he told himself this.
What he wants to make is Jun porcelain, not a pile of broken clay pots worth thirty cents each.
"Intelligence network, bodyguard team, big data model..."
On the way back to Wenchangwei, Nanyi was thinking about what he needed to do in the future.
After Men San'er bought four more houses in Bao'an City, he was sent back to the capital by Nanyi, asking him to go back and review carefully and wait for news about the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Liu Zhen became a lady in everyone's family, and she never left the house.
Nan Yi opened a study room for her. Apart from three meals a day, she didn't have to do anything else. She only had to study hard at the desk.
Last time I weighed her using the old brigade scale for weighing grain, Liu Zhen's weight had increased to eighty-nine pounds, and she was gaining weight very quickly.
In July, after a few days of busy irrigation work, Nanyi was free again.
With the certificate of cross-border farming, he opened up a vegetable garden, with a total of eight points (1 mu = 10 points). Seven points were used as vegetable gardens, two points were planted with Qilixiang, and the remaining one point was planted with snakes to kill the family.
The entire land is rectangular with one corner missing, which can be used to carve out four ridges, three long and one short.
The ridges were made, the seeds were sown, and at dusk, some urine was poured.
All that's left is to sprout.
When he has free time, Nan Yi will dig ditches.
Without asking for help, he dug the ditch by himself, and then buried and connected the more than 60 iron pipes that Xian Yaodong helped buy in the name of the brigade one by one.
The water inlet was built and a waterwheel was built. A week later, river water appeared in the yard of the south house.
Another week has passed since we renovated the bathroom and repaired the sewers.
There was a squat hole in the bathroom, and buying a flush toilet was too eye-catching. After thinking about it, Nan Yi decided not to buy it. He originally wanted to buy an electric water heater, but it was also because of the eye-catching problem, so he didn't do it.
Although Wenchangwei received electricity in 1972, the entire brigade did not use much electricity in a year.
If Nanyi buys all the electrical appliances one by one, his family's electricity bill might be as high as that of the entire Wenchangwei.
When everyone is poor, they must follow "poor". Being rich at this time is a sin.
During the day, he would go to the ground with everyone. After nightfall, Nan Yi would go to the river to lay nets, and he would also go fishing for eels, snakehead fish, turtles, and the ground cages he had woven himself.
You don’t have to go every day, the harvest in one day is enough to last ten days and a half.
At this time, every household is short of oil and other seasonings. If we want to make this aquatic product delicious, why are we short of oil and seasonings?
Eat it as rice, the taste is really not as good as rice; if you want to eat it as a dish, it's better to stop eating it.
If there are few people catching them, the fish will naturally be plentiful and stupid.
"Nanyi, Nanyi."
As soon as Nan Yi laid the hook, Xian Weimin called him from the other side of the river.
"For the people, what is it?"
"Before dinner tomorrow, come with me to catch crickets. Each person in the team will be given five work points."
"Okay." Nan Yi shouted to the other side, "I still have shrimps there, do you want to order some?"
"No, they're just small shrimps. I don't like eating them. I'll get some sea shrimps for you to try some other time."
"Okay!"
The word "ah" in Nanyi had a long pronunciation, and it lasted until the evening of the next day.
Nanyi, Xian Weimin, and Angju walked along the river dam to the reed marsh.
Ang Ju, whose real name is Xian Weiqi, had a high fever when he was a child and his brain was burned out. His intelligence was only at the age of seven or eight. He didn't need to work in the fields, and the brigade would count him as a share of the rations.
But Angju likes to work very much. He can't do other things. He can pull weeds, pick rice ears, or just start something.
Just like today, if Ang Ju comes over, the brigade will give his family two or three work points.
"Weiqi, do you want to eat sweets?"
Nan Yi took out a white rabbit toffee and handed it to Ang Ju.
"Food."
"Can you eat?"
"meeting."
Seeing Ang Ju peel off the candy wrapper and stuff the candy into his mouth, Nan Yi was sure that he would eat it.
It seems that his family treats him well.
"For the people, do you want it?"
"No more, here's a cigarette, I've finished smoking."
