The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 36 Fruit Wholesalers

Day by day, approaching the end of the year, the work of the rolling mill is also busy.

Wang Gang had to leave the car every day, and even had two business trips, and it took him several days to return to Sijiu City.

During the two business trips, when Wang Gang completed his mission and returned, he took a detour to the countryside to help his colleagues in the factory bring things, and also to collect some mountain goods.

After the two trips, Wang Gang earned another 160 yuan, and with Zhao Zihao's money from selling pears, Wang Gang finally got together 1000 yuan.

After preparing for the Chinese New Year, he began to buy property and prepare for marriage.

Marriage in this era, the woman does not want a house, and there is no bride price, but it is best to buy three rings at home, which is considered decent.

Wang Gang asked Zhao Zihao to help, and exchanged the food for radio tickets and a few industrial coupons, but now he couldn't get the watch tickets.

The new year is approaching, and the courtyard has stopped a lot. After Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e divorced, they completely let themselves go, hooking up with female colleagues in the factory all day long.

To say that this Yu Haitang is really free and easy, after learning that Wang Gang and He Yushui are dating, she can pick it up, put it down, and no longer pester Wang Gang.

Seeing this opportunity, Xu Damao took the initiative to give gifts and watch movies, and finally established a relationship with Yu Haitang years ago.

The homes of the three elders in the courtyard also stopped a lot because of the New Year. The first elder Yi Zhonghai prepared things for everyone for the New Year, the second elder Liu Haizhong didn’t beat the children very much, and the third elder Yan Pugui gave a gift to He Yuzhu, and it was rare for him to be generous. , ready to make dumplings for the Chinese New Year, stuffed with pork and cabbage.

Most of the other families in the courtyard are the same, but Jia's life is very difficult.

After losing He Yuzhu's long-term meal ticket, the Jia family is really Wang Xiaoer's new year, and every day is worse.

The three children were hungry all day long, and Jia Zhang blamed Qin Huairu all day long.

Poor Qin Huairu was transferred to clean the toilets, and he hasn't made it through until now.

Later, Wang Gang inquired, and it turned out that Xu Damao was looking for connections and transferred Qin Huairu to clean the toilet, probably because he wanted to avenge Qin Huairu's initial frame-up.

Few families in the compound were willing to help the Jia family, and they all knew that his family was a white-eyed wolf.

Qin Huairu had the cheek to ask Wang Gang to borrow money, but unfortunately Wang Gang ignored her.

One night, Wang Gang drank a lot of alcohol and woke up at night. He once saw Yi Zhonghai meeting Qin Huairu in secret. Seeing how the two of them were chattering, they probably did nothing good.

However, Wang Gang ignored them. He cheated on Qin Huairu because of the task. After the task was completed, Wang Gang didn't bother to care about Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai, an old-fashioned critic, usually has a dignified appearance, but he never expected that he would meet a pretty widow in private.

It seems that the private meeting between the two is not a day or two, and I don't know how many times I have been willing in private.

Wang Gang is just a little pitiful for the big mother.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the rolling mill was completely on holiday, and the workers in each workshop went home. Wang Gang had been busy for more than a month, and it was rare for him to relax.

He Yushui went home early from school, and during this time he was helping Wang Gang clean up the house and preparing for the New Year.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Wang Gang promised He Yushui to spend time with them, but he couldn't go there empty-handed.

Taking advantage of the supply and marketing cooperative's holiday, Wang Gang hurriedly went to buy new year's goods.

But just as he walked out of the alley, he saw Zhao Zihao walking towards him.

"Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you have nothing to do?" Wang Gang said to Zhao Zihao displeased.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I have something urgent, otherwise I wouldn't bother you." Zhao Zihao begged for mercy.

"What's the rush?" Wang Gang asked.

"Do you still have pears?" Zhao Zihao asked excitedly.

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and asked, "The five hundred catties of pears are all sold out?"

Zhao Zihao couldn't hide his excitement, and said, "It's already sold out. Your pears were looted as soon as they hit the market, and they were all sold out within a day."

Wang Gang was a little surprised and said: "Those pears are not cheap. Are there so many rich people in Sijiu City?"

These days, ordinary people can't afford meat, and the price of pears is much higher than that of meat.

Wang Gang originally thought that it would take at least a few days for Zhao Zihao to sell all the five hundred catties of pears.

"You don't know, fresh fruit is really a rare thing in Forty-Nine City, just as the New Year is approaching, many people want to buy some New Year gifts." Zhao Zihao sighed:
"In the past two days, many people have asked me to buy pears through my relationship. I dare not go back to my house. If I hadn't been forced to do nothing, I would not have dared to come to you."

Wang Gang nodded. He really ignored the New Year gift giving.

Forty-Nine City is the capital after all, and there are many rich people in the city. Whoever wants to visit the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings does not want to twist some rare things.

Daxing pears seem to be unpopular, but they are actually out-of-season fruits, which were not available in the cold winter months.

Fresh pears suddenly appeared on the market, naturally causing looting.

"Don't be too ostentatious, or you will cause trouble." Wang Gang couldn't help worrying.

"Don't worry, the people who ask me to buy pears are actually acquaintances who have been in the pigeon market. They are more careful than me."

Wang Gang looked at Zhao Zihao differently. He did have some skills, and he knew how to develop a secondary dealer at this moment.

Calculating the relationship, Zhao Zihao took the pears from Wang Gang, and he belonged to the general agent, and he distributed the pears to various distributors.

This level of agency continues, although some benefits are lost, the actual risk is also avoided.

Wang Gang thought for a while, and then said: "I will give you another two thousand catties, can you eat it?"

Two thousand catties is one ton, and according to the purchase price of 1000 cents per catty, it is [-] yuan.

Wang Gang was afraid that Zhao Zihao would not be able to come up with 1000 yuan at once.

"I can eat it, I can eat it." Zhao Zihao jumped up excitedly at this time.

Zhao Zihao had already contacted several buyers, and they all agreed to pay a deposit, which was enough to add up to 1000 yuan.

"After an hour, you still go to the old place to pick up the goods, and you put the money in the mailbox tomorrow."

"No problem." Zhao Zihao readily agreed.

"This is the last time this year. I plan to stop after the next year and do it again in July and August." Wang Gang said to Zhao Zihao.

Zhao Zihao said unexpectedly: "You can also get pears in summer?"

The ripening period of pears is in late October, so it is very remarkable to preserve them until winter. Seeing what Wang Gang means, they can be preserved until next summer! ?
"Don't inquire about my business, just remember that we still have opportunities for cooperation in the future." Wang Gang didn't want to expose the golden finger space.

Zhao Zihao rolled his eyes and said, "I know Brother Wang is giving me a chance to make a fortune, so I will never talk nonsense again."

Wang Gang nodded in satisfaction, and then calculated that there were more than 40 tons of pears in the space. If he sold them all, he would be able to become a household of [-] yuan.

What is the concept of a million-dollar household in the 60s?
"Brother Wang, since you can preserve pears, can you preserve other fruits as well?" Zhao Zihao asked tentatively.

Wang Gang frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Zihao rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Winter melons are rare items, much more expensive than pears."

Wang Gang's heart moved, and using the space to resell fruits is indeed a way to make money.

But in this way, he is no longer a fruit wholesaler?
