Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 186 To Huangyuan City
Early in the morning, Wang Manyin rode his bicycle and headed towards Yuanxi County with a letter of introduction from the village in his pocket.

The letter of introduction is very clear: I would like to introduce Comrade Wang Manyin, a villager in this village, to contact you to contact Wheat Seeds...the signature and seal are attached below.

That's right, the reasons are aboveboard and necessary.

If there is no such thing, if it is checked, it may be regarded as blind flow.

At about 11:30, Wang Manyin had already arrived at the county seat.

When I communicated with Hu Yongzhou last time, the other party gave me an address.

He didn't dare to waste time, so he came to visit directly.It was only later that I found out that the project of the soy sauce factory hadn't been completed yet, and Hu Yongzhou was busy leading the construction team.

Wang Manyin met Hu Yongzhou smoothly with a pack of cigarettes as the price.

Seeing his arrival, the other party seemed very enthusiastic: "Man Yin, you are finally here. I look forward to it every day... People, didn't you say that you would bring the villagers here after the autumn harvest?"

"Brother Hu, I don't know if you want people, how dare you bring them directly. How many people do you need here?"

"As much as you want, I'll accept all the one hundred numbers. I still have two big jobs waiting to start!" Hu Yongzhou said vigorously.

"Not so many, our village can produce about twenty or thirty people! If you are sure, I will go back to the village tomorrow to call for people." Wang Manyin replied hastily.

"Okay, you can bring people over in these two days. The wages are the same as other people's wages. The small workers are seventy-five cents a day, the big workers are one yuan, the carpenters are two and five cents, and three meals are taken care of. All board and lodging are on the construction site."

The so-called small workers are those who carry ash buckets to raise sand and mix lime cement.Anyone can do it if they put in the effort.

A big worker needs to hold a tile knife to build a wall, which is a skilled job, and the salary is naturally higher.

For Hu Yongzhou, the more manpower, the better.

Now many enterprises and units in the county have construction tasks, but there is no way to obtain the employment quota in time, so they can only turn to the underground construction team for help.

They will not investigate the source of the workers, as long as there are no problems with the procedures, most of them will turn a blind eye.

Not to mention the original Xi County, even in big cities now.There have been reports in later generations that even infrastructure projects such as the Academy of Sciences, airports, and electronic tube factories were all completed by underground construction teams.

Wang Manyin did not expect that things would go so smoothly.For three meals a day alone, he believes that many people in the village will rush to sign up.

"Man Yin, what the hell are you doing in the village? You don't look like someone who is patient and digs through the soil. You might as well come out and follow me. If you don't want to hire me, I'll be your foreman. I'll pay you 60 per month. Yuan money. How about it, isn’t it better than being in the village?”

After talking about the treatment of workers, Hu Yongzhou brought up the old matter again.

"Brother Hu, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and there is no one to take care of her at home, so I really can't get away."

Wang Manyin also refused very simply.

If you just go out to do side jobs and work illegally, even if you are caught, it is not a big problem. You just go to a study class and stay for half a month, and then send you back to the village.

But as a contractor or manager, if you fail, you will be sentenced to ten or eight years.

After finishing the work, Wang Manyin declined Hu Yongzhou's noon treat, and left the soy sauce factory with his bicycle.He didn't want to go back in a hurry. Before he left, he had already explained to Lan Hua that he might stay in the city for one night.

It is not easy to go out for a trip, Wang Manyin plans to take this opportunity to take a bus to Huangyuan City.

Last time I heard Dong Gang mention that there is not only a flea market in Huangyuan City, but also a pawn shop.The bicycles in Dong Gang's hands were purchased from these two places.

He found a place where there was no one to put the car into the space, and he went straight to the bus station to buy a ticket.

The waiting room of the former Xixian Bus Station consisted of two small bungalows, with a few benches inside for people to rest.On the small blackboard in front of the ticket window, the bus schedule and time to various places are written.

There are two shifts a day from Yuanxi County to Huangyuan City, Wang Manyin is lucky, there is a shift in half an hour.

There were several people queuing up to buy tickets at the window. Judging from their accents, they should be educated youths who jumped in line.

The conductor looked at a few people and immediately asked, "You are educated youths... do you have proof?"

Hearing this, the other party immediately took out the paper from his pocket.

The other party took it and glanced at it, then handed it back again: "Your certificate is not good, it must be issued by the commune."

"Why? We have already inquired, and the village can buy tickets with proof."

Several people immediately became excited.

"No, no, no, this is the rule."

For a while, the ticket window became lively.

Wang Manyin did not expect that it would be so troublesome to buy a bus ticket, and a certificate from the commune would be required.But from the tone of the conductor, it seemed that it was aimed at the educated youths, and had nothing to do with me.

Amidst the noise, a person in charge soon appeared and pulled a few educated youths aside to explain.

Seeing that it was his turn, Wang Manyin hurriedly handed over the letter of introduction.

The conductor also asked suspiciously, "Are you from the Shige Festival Commune?"

"Yes..." Wang Manyin nodded quickly.

Probably his temperament was quite different from that of the educated youths, so the other party did not continue to ask, and directly quoted the ticket price.

After successfully sitting on the bus, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

This long-distance bus was refitted from a truck, with a front truck head, a bright red body, and a roof on the top, with a weird shape.

The car seat inside is a wooden stool, which hurts my buttocks when I sit on it.

Especially the driver was driving fast all the way, and the vehicle kept bumping and undulating.Many people were stunned and vomited directly.

Wang Manyin was better, but when he got out of the car, he felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

Most of the predecessors wandered around Yuanxi County, and had never been to Huangyuan City before.So for Wang Manyin, everything in front of him feels very fresh.

But after walking a certain distance along the road, his mood has completely returned to calm.There is actually nothing to see in Huangyuan City in this era. There are also low bungalows on both sides. It is nothing more than a few more streets than the original West County.

Scattered two-story buildings can only be seen on the main street in the city center.

The tallest building is the four-story Huangyuan Hotel, which is also the most dazzling place in the entire Huangyuan City.

Wang Manyin didn't intend to go in to enjoy it. After finding a small restaurant on the roadside to fill his stomach, he stopped someone to ask for the location of the entrusted shop.

To put it bluntly, the entrusted shop is the former pawn shop, but now it is collectively owned.

Those who are in a hurry to spend money can directly sell their items to the consignment store, so that the price is relatively low.If you are not in a hurry to wait for the money, you can entrust it to be sold in the store.

After the item is sold, pay the store a certain handling fee.

Of course, the current entrusted stores are honest.

Everything inside is clearly marked with a price, so it's easy to be fooled.And it's basically fidelity, and it won't be deceived or deceived, unless the clerk himself is wrong.

Wang Manyin has read articles about consignment stores on the Internet of Later Times, and the few examples he specifically talked about are impressive.

It mentioned that an old man sold a camera and was accepted by a clerk for 80 yuan.When reviewing the price of the product at night, a knowledgeable master in the entrusted store found that the payment was less, so he re-evaluated.

Later, the entrusted store found the old man through the information left, and made up the price difference of 50 yuan.

There is also a commissioned store to buy a broken clock. When the master opened it for repair, he found a bunch of banknotes hidden inside, and immediately notified the seller to claim it.

Although I don't know whether these examples are true or not, it can also show from one side that people have a lot of trust in commissioned stores.

This consignment store doesn't look big from the outside, but after entering, Wang Manyin realized that it occupies a large area.

There is a long wooden glass counter at the door, and several shop assistants in Chinese tunic suits stand inside, and there are several customers inside who are choosing products.

Wang Manyin took a glance, only to find that the consignment store was no different from the grocery store.From clothes, shoes and socks to daily necessities such as watches, gramophones, and bicycles, you can find everything in the consignment store.

In addition, there are all kinds of jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings on the glass counter... He even saw a leopard skin spread out on the wall.

These items are numbered, and the selling price is marked on them.

That leopard skin is priced at 40 yuan.

The old bicycles sold inside are also very cheap, priced at 55 yuan.However, the paint on the body is badly peeled, and even the chain cover and fenders are gone.Of course, let Dong Gang get it back and repair it, at least it can sell for hundreds of dollars.

In a corner, Wang Manyin also saw a lot of hardwood furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Perhaps these shapes do not conform to people's aesthetic habits today, and they have not been sold for a long time, and there is already a thick layer of dust on them.

After seeing these furniture, Wang Manyin was very tempted, and immediately rejected it.

The target is too big, there is no way to move it alone, so let's buy some small things.

After a cursory inspection, Wang Manyin also came to the glass counter.

"Master, this, and this... Take them all out, I want to buy them."

After determining the target, he simply made a quick move.

"You want to see all of these?" The shopkeeper was stunned when he met such a buyer for the first time.

Even other customers in the store looked sideways, secretly guessing where this daredevil came from.

This is buying Wenwan antiques, do you think you are buying radishes and cabbages?
"That's right, I'm in a hurry. Take it out quickly, so I can check out and leave."

"Okay, okay," the master took a few glances, and put the items Wang Manyin wanted on the counter in doubt.

"How much?" After a rough check, Wang Manyin asked the price aloud.

"Xiaosheng, do you really want to buy it?" The master couldn't help raising his voice.

"Um,"

Wang Manyin nodded affirmatively again.

Two minutes later, he walked out of the consignment shop with several porcelains in his arms.There are also two jade handles in the jacket pocket.On the wrist, there is an extra watch.

In addition, he saw that there were brand new women's nurse shoes on sale, so he bought a pair for Lanhua.

In fact, there are many antiques and cultural relics that Wang Manyin is tempted by. Looking around, the consignment shop is full of leaks.But afraid of being too eye-catching, I didn't dare to buy too much at one time.

The coming day is long, and there will be plenty of time in the future.

Even so, it surprised the people in the store.

That's why he left in a hurry.

If there is a chance, Wang Manyin would like to go to those commission stores in big cities, there must be more opportunities.

It cost nearly 200 yuan for a trip, and one of the vases from the official kiln cost [-] yuan.

But Wang Manyin didn't feel any distress.After all, money is just paper.If you can't spend it, it will always exist in the space, and it doesn't make any sense.

It's better to replace it with an antique, and it's an investment for the future.

If you just buy these things by yourself at present, if you put it in a few decades, you will not be able to say that you will buy a house in a big city with all the money, but it will definitely be no problem to pay a down payment.

The reason why these things are so cheap is that there are very few people with spending power now.Even if they have the spending power, many people would not dare to buy it.

Walking on the street holding these things was a bit eye-catching, Wang Manyin looked around and hurried to the alley not far away.

He planned to find an empty Gelao and put the things in the space.

After walking a certain distance, Wang Manyin subconsciously turned his head to look back, and then his heart tightened.

No, you are being targeted? !

At the entrance of the alley behind him, two young men approached slowly, with their hands in the front of the cotton-padded jacket.

He wasn't sure if the other party was really eyeing him, but he didn't take chances.Immediately took a deep breath and ran towards the distance.

As a result, just as Wang Manyin took a few steps forward, he heard an urgent voice behind him.

"No, I was discovered by this girl, so hurry up and chase after him."

"Stop, don't run!! Third, someone ran over, stop him!"

If you don't run, you are a fool!

After confirming that the other party was coming towards him, Wang Manyin's speed became even faster!
After all, he was careless.

The other party should have guarded at the door of the entrusted store in advance, and he might be targeted when he entered.

Now carrying so many things to go out, it is even more obvious to tell people that they belong to the fat sheep.

But when things came to an end, Wang Manyin didn't have time to regret it, he just ran with all his might.

As soon as he rushed out of a side fork, he saw two young men rushing towards him.

However, the speed of the opponent was too slow, and Wang Manyin flashed past him.

"Steamers, stop!!"

"This is a rabbit, so good at running!"

……

Wang Manyin twisted and turned in the alley, and finally got rid of the four people behind him.

In fact, no matter what era, things like fights, robberies and the like will happen.Of course, the law and order in rural areas is generally better, because everyone knows each other well.

As for the current city, due to the increase of various idle people, miscellaneous things are easy to happen.

Sometimes, moving a kitchen knife is considered pediatrics.

Last time Wang Manyin heard from Liu Xiangyang that now when they go to the county, they always have bricks in their schoolbags.When something goes wrong, just throw your schoolbag over and hit someone.

After running to a wall, seeing no one around, Wang Manyin quickly entered the space.After putting away his things, he reappeared with a pole on his shoulders.

He didn't dare to bring the knife out, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly after being discovered.And carrying a shoulder pole with you seems much more reasonable.

One inch long, one inch strong.

Even if you really meet four people again, you can directly greet them with a shoulder pole.

As for running back to take revenge now...Wang Manyin is not so stupid and bold.

If you don't touch porcelain with earthen pots, you still have a good life to live, so there's no need to risk your life.

Of course, if he was really forced into a corner, he would naturally give it a go.

Returning to the main street, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

Because he wasn't sure if a few people were still looking for him, he didn't intend to continue wandering around Huangyuan City, but went straight out of the city along the road.

Now Huangyuan City is not big, but within ten minutes, Wang Manyin has already crossed the bridge and came to the hillside outside the city.

There are also many cave dwellings dug here, and there are scattered farmland around them.
