Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 108
If you want to get rich, build roads first.In line with this principle and on the basis of improving people's livelihood, Qiushui Town's first move in the spring is to build a railway bridge.

There was news about this a few years ago, because it was the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and it was not convenient for outdoor construction.The spring of the next year began, and some preparatory work continued.Cleaning up the river is one of them. It lasted for more than a month, and the upstream and downstream were completed one after another.

The time has come around Guyu, spring plowing is a big plan, and people's livelihood is the most important thing, and everything can't be skipped. In 20 days, the farmland in the whole town has been cultivated.

As soon as the spring plowing was over, the construction of roads and bridges was put on the agenda.

Led by the government of Qiushui Township, the subordinate villages recruited construction migrant workers, involving a wide range of areas, which can be counted as one of the largest scales in the history of the town.

The railway bridge was built on the middle and upper sections of the Liangdao River, less than a kilometer away from the nearest place of Bailangli Village

The engineering team composed of so many migrant workers came near the village at once, and the whole village became lively together.

Where there are people, there will be business opportunities.This sentence also applies here.

The engineering team is stationed on the side of the river bank, and all food and accommodation are in temporary board houses.The town street is a bit far from here, and it takes nearly an hour to walk back and forth. It's not too far, but it's not too close either.It is not very convenient for daily needs.

But these people who are interested in them are looking at them, but they are in the right place, and they can be used to make some money.There was a quick-witted person in the village, who began to think about Qian Dao'er when he was busy.Soon, several stalls were set up next to the bridge construction site.Including daily necessities, clothing, and food, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Small businesses are not considered big, they are all small carts at the beginning, they can be pushed as they go, and there are not many things. The trolley was also replaced with a fixed simple shed.

This project is relatively large and cannot be completed in a short period of time.A small businessman sets up a stall, and just follows the construction period, and a fixed location is convenient for both buyers and sellers.

The busy farming season is over, and this time is regarded as an idle period.All the capable main laborers in the village have gone to the dam to build roads and bridges. The rest of the family members are idle, so why not learn from those stalls and do something.Earning less is a little bit, anyway, I have nothing to do, I just go to watch the fun.

As a result, there are more scattered street stalls on the shore, and there are dozens of different kinds of small things, most of which are home-grown vegetables and fruits, and there are also small pendants made by ingenious people. kind.

Seeing the nervousness of the people in the village, Li Cuizhen couldn't sit still anymore. When she caught Zhao Mingyu not going to the car shop to help, she took well water and food coloring and mixed two buckets of drinks, and pushed them in a small cart. Go to the embankment, take Xiao Wu, and even watch the children sell water along the way.

The weather is getting hotter, and the workers working under the sun are sweating a lot and need to replenish water from time to time.This five-cent-a-cup simple drink is cheap and thirst-quenching, so many people come to buy it.

Two buckets per day, while stocks last, will not increase.If you keep this amount, you won't be tired, and you won't earn that much.

Li Cuizhen is quite satisfied: "I take care of the children and do housework without any delay. I can earn seven or eight yuan a day just like playing. Isn't that good? It's enough."

The average daily wages of those workers are just these, and they work from morning to night, which is much more tiring than her.

Now that the family has money, the car shop in the town has been doing well, and the next batch of cars has already been ordered.Although he suppressed some capital, he also made a lot of money. Compared with the past, it is really a difference between heaven and earth.

Originally, Li Cuizhen was watching Xiaosi and Xiaowu at home, and no one wanted her to come out to work. It was her own persistence that led to the small business of buying water.

No one cares much about earning more or less, as long as she is happy.

However, this satisfaction didn't last long, and after seeing the constant flow of people in front of those fixed stalls, I stopped saying yes.

I'm afraid of making comparisons in everything. Looking at it alone, this small business of Tianshui'er can make money without too much trouble, which is indeed good.But if compared with those stalls that earn tens or hundreds of dollars a day, it seems insignificant.

"I and the one next to me have counted them. Just at noon, more than 60 meals were sold. The cheapest one is [-] cents, and the expensive one costs two yuan. Food is the most profitable. It has always been They earn half and half. Including the meal at night, there is at least seventy or eighty yuan of income for the day. The technicians who build the bridge only earn twenty or so yuan a day at most, which is top-of-the-line. The price is too high, and I don’t earn as much as selling food here.” Li Cuizhen was in a daze for three or four days, and she finally told her family when she was sure.

"Then what do you mean, you also want to cook and sell?" Zhao Mingyu did not follow the same enthusiasm, and analyzed it very rationally: "Then the old Liu's family is for banquets, and they are all old at cooking and stir-frying. , it is naturally handy to make. The food is also well-prepared, don't look at so many people buying it, it must be delicious."

There is also a canteen on the construction site, and the big pot of rice that can be made tastes average, and it is enough to eat clear soup and little water every day.Some workers would buy meals from nearby stalls, which led to the food business, and stalls large and small were the best in this business.

Li Cuizhen also knows this point, good business naturally has its unique features.Just like what Zhao Mingyu said, the success of this family's food is entirely due to having a good chef.

If others want to imitate, they have to weigh their own weight.

"Let's not talk about whether you can make a good taste, which is comparable to his family. Just selling it, and relying on yourself, it's too busy. It's not like this sweet water. It's filled in advance and someone brings it up. Drinkable, convenient and fast."

Li Cuizhen said with some disappointment: "I know it too, but seeing people make so much money, isn't it greedy? This sweet water is simple, but it's not expensive." That is, it is a little sweeter than ordinary clear water Well, it looks better in color.There are not many complicated procedures. Only Zhao Mingyu has all the materials prepared, and ten barrels or eight barrels can be exchanged in minutes.

"If there is any water that can be sold at a good price without too much work, it will be perfect."

"What good thing do you want to do? The water is not a rare thing. There is no such thing. It costs five cents a cup, even if it is a high-ranking company, it still takes up the light of this house. It tastes so sweet, how can you sell it for water alone?"

You are wrong. After many years, water can not only be sold for money, but some can also be sold for a large price.

Zhao Wenduo said silently from the side, sometimes it's not that I didn't expect it, but that I haven't experienced enough.

Li Cuizhen's envy was only taken as an anecdote, and no one took it to heart.

Until this day, Cui Yuzhen came over with a thermos of milk.

Li Cuizhen had just sold two barrels of sweet water, and when she returned home, Cui Yuzhen walked in just as her butt fell on the kang.

"What are you holding in your hand, and you put it in a thermos?" Cui Yuzhen came here often, and Li Cuizhen was not surprised, only the things in her hands.Just drinking water, now that it's so hot, there's no need for a thermos. If you buy something expensive, you won't be afraid of breaking it when you carry it around.

Cui Yuzhen sat next to her, "Second sister-in-law, this is milk, I just brought it back this morning. I cooked it, drink it while it's still warm."

Li Cuizhen: "...Well, milk, good stuff, where did you get it!" Pick it up and take a sip, the milk smell is quite strong, not bad.

"My natal mother asked someone to bring it over. In the past two days, there has been so much milk that I can't drink it at home, so I brought some for me."

Li Cuizhen got the point: "Your natal family raised cows?"

"Isn't it? I raised one." Cui Yuzhen said: "I don't know where the gust of wind blows. It is said to raise cows to make money. Several families in the village bought cows. It was okay at the beginning. Everyone thought it was a rarity. You bought a cup, and I bought a bowl. But after a few days, the rarity passed, and fewer people bought it, and the extras were sent door to door. There is no way, this thing is put away. If you don’t hold it, it will go bad after a night, and you have to drink it up on the same day.”

"Then I didn't think about selling it outside. I just said that the village is still too narrow, so I can't sell much."

"I thought about it, why didn't I think about it. There are two families who have relatives in the town, and they helped out to order a few copies. Do you still have to say that you are not sure?"

"Didn't you think about this problem when you bought the cow?" Li Cuizhen asked.

"If you were fooled by someone, you all know that this milk is a good thing, so it's good to think about it. After a while, the milk will not be enough to sell. But in the end, it's not so ideal. Let's all argue about it. But it’s just for a try, and there are not many people who buy it for a long time.” Cui Yuzhen said: “In the past two days, my old lady’s mouth has blisters from getting angry, and the family has done it several times because of this milk thing. It’s a battle. One blames that, that one blames this, and they all say that they shouldn’t have agreed to buy the cattle at the beginning, the money was spent, and now they are staring at the loss.”

Li Cuizhen followed with a sigh: "In this business, there is profit and loss, and the same is true for buying cows. If the milk cannot be sold, there is still a cow, so it is not considered a full loss. If not, sell it, so as not to get so angry. "

Cui Yuzhen said with a bitter face: "Now we all know that this milk cannot be sold, and this cow is not easy to sell. No one will buy it. It's a waste of money." The milk can’t be sold, and it takes time to get fodder. It’s dry to build, can you not get angry?

Li Cuizhen also felt disturbed when she heard that, the milk in her mouth didn't smell so good: "Then why don't you ask your mother to bring some, I'll see if I can sell it with sweet water, maybe someone will like it Woolen cloth."

Cui Yuzhen knew that this was comforting words, and it was not that she had never tasted it before, so she knew what this milk tasted like.How much I love to drink is out of the question. At most, I think this thing is good for my health, so I will drink some of it.

"Will that work? It's so hot, can someone drink it? Besides, will it affect your water sales?"

Li Cuizhen gave her a sideways look: "You have a lot of worries, what do you want to do, talk." There are so many village people setting up small stalls on the river dam, it's hard to believe that she didn't want to go there.The milk is so worried about selling, so it's better to drill it when you have time.

Cui Yuzhen seemed to have seen through her purpose, and she didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed. She grinned like a fool: "My second sister-in-law Mingyu is smart, so she knows she can't hide it from you."

"Stop flattering, tell me quickly, what's your plan?"

Cui Yuzhen straightened herself up quickly, and said, "I didn't intend to take advantage of my second sister-in-law's business when I came here. If I go to the construction site to sell, then I can go too, so there's no need to bother you. The main reason is that this thing is not food or food. It doesn’t quench your thirst after drinking it, and the price is not so cheap. Even if you take it, not many will buy it, and besides, it will be easily spoiled if it is left in the sun, and if you drink it, you will have diarrhea, then it will be troublesome.”

Li Cuizhen thought about it, but she also said, "Why didn't I think about such a delicate thing at the beginning?"

"Isn't it? My mother and the others are almost regretting it to death. But there is no other way, they have already bought them, and there is nothing else to do except to bite the bullet and work hard." Cui Yuzhen also scratched her head anxiously, on behalf of her mother's family Get angry.

"My old lady said that the third girl of the Zhao family has a lot of ideas, so let her help you think of a way. It's not right to let this good milk go out."

"Oh, so it was the third child's idea." Li Cuizhen said clearly: "Indeed, she is the one who has the most ideas in the whole family, so it's good to let her think about it, maybe she can really come up with a good idea. "

Cui Yuzhen grasped Li Cuizhen's hand as if grasping at a straw, and hurriedly said, "I'm just waiting for your second sister-in-law's words. You have to tell third girl whatever you say, and ask her to help you with this."

Li Cuizhen: "..." Co-author, she is an intermediary.

"What can I help you with?" The sudden voice startled the two of them.
The person standing at the door was Zhao Wenduo, whom the two of them were talking about. They were so focused on talking that neither of them heard the sound of footsteps pushing the door.

"Oh, the third girl is back!" Cui Yuzhen's eyes lit up when Xing Xingpan came back.

Li Cuizhen looked at the clock on the wall in surprise: "What time is it, why is school over?"

Zhao Wenduo put his schoolbag on the table and said, "It's Saturday, school is over early." He was about to pour water.

"Come on, Miss San, I'll drink this for you." Cui Yuzhen picked up the thermos and handed it over with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Seeing her flattering smile, Li Cuizhen: "..." This flattering little appearance is quite a waste of face.

Zhao Wenduo looked down at the contents of the cup: "Milk?" he said not too sure.

"Yes, it's milk." Cui Yuzhen nodded and said, "Drinking this will make you grow taller, it's a good thing."

I know this is good for height and nutrition, but——

Zhao Wenduo followed his toes and only looked up, feeling that he was being connoted.

Being short is the deepest pain in her heart, none of them.
