Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 188 The Person Who Knows Gratitude
"Uncle Han, this is for you."

When the group of four returned to the county seat, Liu Hezuo took the initiative to take over the shelf car and let him return it to others.

After all, when returning the shelf car, it is necessary to give someone a red envelope.

Among the four, Jiang Yue and Jiang Tao had no money at all, and Han Xiaokang had already given Jiang Yue a large sum of money.

So things like returning the shelf car, and by the way, having to arrange what everyone will eat tonight can only be handled by Liu Cooperation.

Wait until Liu Hezuo pulls the shelf cart and leaves.

Jiang Yue took out a hatchet from the house, and then dug out a thing the size of a soybean under the saponins tree in the yard.

Then handed it to Han Xiaokang, "Uncle, this time because of my dad's affairs, you have spent money. I owe you the money I owe uncle, and I will pay you back slowly. You can take this thing first, and treat it as my Thank you for your express."

"What is this?"

Han Xiaokang took the object and looked at it. It was so gray that he couldn't tell what it was, but just relying on the feel of the hand, Han Xiaokang felt a little heavy.

Turn it over, there is a small gap there.

Looking from the gap, it feels that the inside of this thing is slightly red and a little transparent.

Lifting the object and looking carefully at the sun, the red color inside the object became more and more dazzling.

"Natural rubies?"

Han Xiaokang stuffed the thing back into Jiang Yue's hand, "Where did you get such a thing?"

"I picked it up. There used to be a work team running to the front of the alley. That family used to run a dyeing house. When they were looking for things, I followed them and sneaked in to join in the fun."

Jiang Yue scratched his head, "Those people knew what to look for like small yellow croakers and silver dollars. Later, when I was watching the fun, I felt that there was something wrong with the chiseled pattern on the beams of their house.
There is a small piece of wood, which is obviously a little inconsistent with the wood next to it. "

Han Xiaokang frowned, "And then?"

"Then I slipped home first, and at night I climbed down to the eaves and opened the shadow box on the beam, only to find that it was empty and there was nothing left."

"Well, in the end I only found this rough ruby."

Jiang Yue looked at Han Xiaokang expectantly, "Uncle Han, I tried every means to find the mole in the city and ask him to make a price."

"What's next?" Han Xiaokang asked.

"The mole only gave me 30 yuan. He said that this kind of thing is only valuable after finding a jade carver with a good memory. "

"Originally, I planned to wait until my mother came back, next month, to celebrate my mother's birthday.

At that time, I will go to Mole again and sell this stone so that it can be given to my mother. To celebrate an unforgettable birthday, I will go to the best restaurant in the county and order a lot of dishes for my mother! "

"In this case, why do you give me this stone now?" Han Xiaokang asked closely.

"now.now"

Tears welled up in Jiang Yue's eyes, "I think, my mother is gone. Maybe she won't come back again."

"Uncle let you spend such a large sum of money today, but it is precisely because of the money you gave, uncle, that our family can send my dad away smoothly."

"This stone has no meaning for me anymore. In order to repay some of the favor we owe to uncle, please accept it."

Looking at Jiang Yue who was staring at him eagerly, Han Xiaokang did not extend his hand, "I am afraid that the life of you and your brother will be very difficult in the future. Haven't you ever thought of selling this stone to supplement the family income?"

"The next days are the next thing. I will find a way. No matter how difficult it is, I can get through it."

Jiang Yue lowered his head, "But when I think about it, Uncle, you are not related to our Jiang family, and we owe you such a big favor when we first met. Now that I am the head of our family, I can't be shy. No matter what the case is, I am worried that my younger brother will follow my example.

That's not good, even though it's a small advantage in front of me, it will ruin my brother's life! "

Han Xiaokang took the ruby ​​from Jiang Yue's hand and put it in his pocket.

Then he asked, "You know the Mole? What does he do? What does he look like, and how can I get in touch with him?"

In the past, Han Xiaokang vaguely heard from others that there was a very mysterious person who had been active in Fushun County.

This person specializes in some shady business, such as small yellow croakers, and he will also accept them.

But what is the specific situation, Han Xiaokang does not know.

In fact, at any time, this kind of urban fox and social mouse exists. They always live in the shadows and never appear in the sun.

Just make money by acting as a broker for others.

Use money to do things, and solve some problems for others that are not easy to solve with fair means.

Or it is to sell some products that cannot be publicly displayed to earn the price difference
Such people,
Their activity energy is often quite large, and the network of relationships around them is as extensive and ubiquitous as the sewers in the city.

This time Han Xiaokang went to the city to sell bear skins, which was one of them.

In fact, the real purpose is to take out those little yellow croakers and gold watches in his hands and cash them out.

After all, if you want to buy a house on Zhenxing Street, or buy mules for the mountains, you need a lot of money.

If you just rely on hunting to make money, it would be too slow.
Three months is too long, seize the day and night.

Seeing that it is about to enter a difficult period, a lot of preparatory work in the early stage has to be accelerated.

That's why Han Xiaokang was interested in the "mole" that Jiang Yue was talking about. After all, that guy dared to accept rubies, and it is estimated that small yellow croakers and other things would be a no-brainer.

Jiang Yue asked, "Uncle, do you want to find a mole?"

Han Xiaokang nodded.

This Jiang Yue thought that Han Xiaokang wanted to sell the rough ruby ​​that Jiang Yue had just given him, so that he could get back some blood.

After all, 44 yuan is really not a small sum for people in this period.

Just like many senior technical workers in the city, their salary may get 6 or 7 yuan a month.

But even so, the 44 yuan is a lot of cash for such high-income workers.

It's just because their wages are high, but because most of the money is used to buy food.

In addition, during this period, there is an unwritten rule: in a family, whoever has a slightly higher salary must take part of the money, and use it from time to time to support his brothers, sisters, or close relatives .

Life, it's all about pulling each other.

If someone, because he has a high salary but is so picky, is unwilling to use it to help his family members.

Then his reputation will be completely stink!
To say that he doesn't care for others and is selfish is an understatement.

If it gets serious, even the leader of his unit may directly intervene and order him to spend part of his salary to help his brothers and sisters and support his parents.

Now Jiang Yue just thinks that Han Xiaokang, who is also a rural person, spent too much money because he was impulsive this time.

That's why there is an urgent need to sell the rough gemstone as soon as possible.

Jiang Yue, who thought he guessed it right, was quite sensible, so he didn't ask Han Xiaokang the reason for looking for Yanshu.

He just replied [-]: "Uncle Han, in fact, the mole we call him is not alone, he may be a large group of people."

Usually people who do this kind of business are very cautious and suspicious, and they do everything very secretly.

So Han Xiaokang was very curious: at Jiang Yue's age, how did he know these secrets?

Just because of Jiang Yue's family conditions and his age, he certainly doesn't have a very deep accumulation of contacts.

Seeing the puzzled look on Han Xiaokang's face.

Jiang Yue replied very calmly, "Because I have looked for Mole twice. The first time, it was my mother. Well, she is actually Jiang Tao's brother's biological mother.

But she treats me very well, at least she regards me and Jiang Tao as her children, and she never favors anyone.

So, I have always called her mother. "

Jiang Yue opened his mouth and said, "At that time my mother was still at home, she was going to travel far away and needed to raise some travel expenses.

So my mother asked me to ask if I could find someone to buy the silver bracelet in her hand? "

Jiang Yue explained, "The first time I saw Mole, although I didn't see what he looked like, but with his voice, I can be sure that Fang is definitely a middle-aged man, and his age should not be too young. I guess it should be 40 years old?
By the second time I went to ask the mole out again, I was going to sell the gem that time.

As a result, the person I was talking to this time has become a young girl. But, when she sewed things through the wall, I couldn’t see anything else because she was doing the handover through the wall slit. thing.

Anyway, I remember her voice was very clear, and I still remember that when she reached out to take the gem from my hand, she was wearing a pair of black gloves.
The fingers are very thin, and it looks like a girl's hand. So Uncle Han, I don't think the mole is alone, they should be a team. "

Moles as a team?
When the other party met Jiang Yue for the first time, was the person they sent out to make the deal a young man?
And the second time, it was replaced by a young girl?
In other words, if you trade with a mole, because you have never dealt with it before, the other party will appear very cautious.

And Jiang Yue made contact with the other party for the second time, and the other party already knew that the person who came to make contact was only a half-child.

So for Mole, Jiang Yue was not a threat in their eyes.

So the Mole is sending a young girl over there?
If it is inferred in this way, it seems that the so-called moles active in Fushun County are indeed a group.

Han Xiaokang couldn't help thinking: If the opponent is a team, or even a large and complex organization.

Then, when I make contact with the other party, I really dare not be too careless.

It is estimated that you need to use some small things first to make a tentative transaction with the other party, for example, take out a little of those Yuan Datou in your Fengchao cabinet.

Make a small transaction with the other party first.

Then slowly take out a small yellow croaker and try to see if the price offered by the other party is reasonable.

When I have a clear idea, then I will consider whether to take out the gold watch and sell it to the other party?
After all, this kind of internationally renowned big-brand gold watch is not just as simple as selling small yellow croakers.

After all, this thing still has a certain collection value and a certain premium.

If I couldn't wait to take out such a precious thing when I came into contact with the other party for the first time, wouldn't it make me feel uncomfortable? !

Let's not talk about it, whether the other party will lower the price or not.

If one is not careful, the other party will even play tricks on himself, and even chew all the bones on his body. Chew it, chew it, crush it and swallow it.
That's all possible!
After understanding the stakes, Han Xiaokang asked Jiang Yue in detail, how can he connect with the mole?

I didn't think so,
Such a mysterious mole, their contact information is not that complicated.

According to what Jiang Yue said: It is to go to two specific small guest houses, go to one of the guest houses, and spend two or three cents to open a room.

Then just put a broom outside the glass window of the room.
If the amount involved in the transaction is relatively large, then the broom will be turned upside down.

in turn,
If the transaction amount is not large and it is a small business, then just put the broom outside the window normally.

A way of contact that seems familiar.

Han Xiaokang remembers,
: It seems that in a certain comic book, in the old days, there were people who were engaged in underground work in the Shanghai stock market, and they seemed to use this kind of broom outside the window as a means of conveying news.

Thinking of this, Han Xiaokang couldn't help but feel dumbfounded!

Sure enough, people who came from the old days and the war years, in all aspects of their lives, still left behind many unique methods invented when they were engaged in underground joint work.
Thank you Jiang Yue.

At this time, the sky has slowly darkened.

In the yard, Jiang Tao, Jiang Yue, and Han Xiaokang were all hungry. Hungry.

From early in the morning today, everyone started to work at dawn, driving such a long way.

In the afternoon, it was digging and burying. When the work was done, the group of people didn't even have time to drink, and rushed to the county seat again.

After such a toss, everyone was already hungry and panicked.

Fortunately, after waiting in the yard for a long time, Liu Hezuo came back with a big old basket.

The basket in his hand is divided into many layers. In fact, it is what the big guys called "food boxes" in the old days.

In the homes of rich and wealthy families, their food boxes are made of nanmu or even sandalwood.

Ordinary people are not so luxurious, so they use bamboo baskets instead.

When Liu Hezuo just entered the door, the smell of food came out of the basket, "I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting for a long time."

Liu Hezuo hurriedly apologized with an apologetic face, "Didn't I think that my body was not clean enough, so I first found a place and took a good bath.

When I was taking a bath, my wife said, instead of going out to restaurants to buy food, it would be better to let her cook a meal for everyone at home! "

His wife?
It is probably the "small family" in the county, right?

But who cares about his family, as long as there is food to eat.
