Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 272 The gentle snowy night
After a while, the rice that Xu Jichang had just taken out was replaced, and all kinds of seafood were piled around him.

"Don't worry if you haven't got any food, I'll return it later."

Xu Jichang poured the seafood into the big sack and said to the fishermen who were still queuing, "I'll call you later."

Returning to the woods at the entrance of the village, Xu Jichang dragged his big sack into the woods after making sure no one was watching him.

This sack contains more than 300 kilograms of seafood.

Thanks to Xu Jichang's strength, he was able to drag the seafood all the way out of the village.Anyone with a little strength will have to work hard.

After storing all the seafood in the space shelves, Xu Jichang came out carrying more than 200 kilograms of flour.

Just like last time, he walked to the center of the village again, shouted and exchanged grain for seafood.

……

In the next two days, Xu Jichang stayed near the village, constantly taking out food from the space shelves and replacing it with seafood.

As soon as the food on the shelves was refreshed every day, he would take it all away.

When you feel sleepy at night, just take a nap in the space.

Xu Jichang never considered going to a villager's house to rest, because he was unfamiliar with the place. If he took so much food to spend the night at someone else's house, he could not guarantee that the other person would not have evil intentions.

In two days, Xu Jichang exchanged more than 300 kilograms of grain and [-] kilograms of seafood.

He also wanted to stay here and exchange for more seafood, but considering that some of the villagers might have become suspicious of the source of his food, he left after much hesitation.

Take a boat and return to Beijing!
At noon three days later, Xu Jichang returned to the capital with a large amount of seafood and began planning to sell it.

At present, there are some small markets in the suburbs of Beijing, where farmers from surrounding areas sell their own agricultural and sideline products. There are also state-owned store employees who follow orders to set up stalls to sell unsalable goods from their own stores.

Xu Jichang decided to go up there and give it a try.

He first took more than 300 kilograms of hairtail fish from the space, dried it, and sold it at a price of 8 yuan per kilogram.

The effect was unexpectedly good. In less than half a morning, all the hairtail fish were sold out.

So in the afternoon, Xu Jichang went to another market and continued to sell seafood, shooting and changing places.

There was nothing I could do about it. Dried hairtail fish was a rare commodity. I sold it in large quantities in the morning, which attracted some people's attention.

To be cautious, it is better to move the position.

In the next few days, Xu Jichang kept moving around like this, and finally sold more than 8000 kilograms of seafood.

Of course, in the end, he still saved a hundred catties to give away during the Chinese New Year and eat at home.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, seafood is definitely a luxury product for the inland capital.

After this round of business, Xu Jichang made a total of 8000 yuan, making a huge fortune.

"Hey, why does this room smell like sea?"

On New Year's Eve, when Xu Jichang returned home from selling the last batch of seafood, he heard Du Xiaojing's voice as soon as he entered the yard.

"Come back after buying seafood."

Xu Jichang looked at Du Xiaojing, pointed to the yard and said, "They are kept in that tank."

“Can we also raise seafood?”

Du Xiaojing saw the large water tank in the corner of the yard and approached it with curiosity.

"With the right proportion of salt, you can keep it healthy."

Xu Jichang also walked up and said, "I like to eat fresh food."

"What a big crab, bigger than a hairy crab."

Du Xiaojing pointed at the blue crabs running rampant in the water tank and asked with great interest, "Are they also steamed?"

Xu Jichang picked up a tree twig and poked at the blue crab claws: "It can also be grilled and eaten."

"Crack!"

The blue crab opened its powerful pincers and firmly cut the branch in half.

Du Xiaojing was surprised: "Hey, you have to be careful when cleaning it."

"Save the two biggest ones for our dad to send New Year greetings."

Xu Jichang took Du Xiaojing's hand and looked into the tank.

In fact, he also left a piece of seafood on the space shelf.

This portion of seafood belongs to the Shen family.

Shortly after Dongfang Fertilizer Factory moved to the capital last year, Shen Danrui quit his job and followed Xu Jichang to the capital.

When Shen's mother saw that her two daughters had come to the capital, she simply disposed of the house she had left in the county and followed them.

Right now, their mother and daughter are living in a small courtyard not far from here.

Shen's mother is unemployed at home, and Shen Danrui is looking for a job.

Xu Jichang plans to wait until Dongfang Fertilizer Factory recruits people next spring to see if she can be recommended.

If there is no chance, recruit her into the distribution company as a salesperson.

In the afternoon, Lan Qimei was packing seafood at home, and Xu Jichang rode his bicycle to Shen's house.

This bicycle is still the one he bought when he was in the county town.

When he first moved to the capital, he put this bicycle into the space and didn't take it out until he arrived in Beijing, which reduced the weight of his luggage a lot.

Passing an uninhabited street corner on the way, Xu Jichang entered the space and took out the seafood, put it in the bicycle basket, and drove it to Shen's house.

At this time, Shen's mother was drying her clothes in the courtyard. When she saw Xu Jichang coming, she immediately came to the door of the courtyard and said, "Long time no see, Jichang. Are you cold?"

"It's not cold. When I think of coming to see my aunt, my heart naturally gets hot."

Xu Jichang stopped his bicycle and said with a smile on his face.

"The little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey."

Mother Shen chuckled, and then she noticed the bag in Xu Jichang's car basket, "What's in this? It smells like fish."

"Seafood. Bamboo shrimp, razor clams, sea cucumbers and blue crabs."

Xu Jichang parked his bicycle, picked up the bag and said, "Bring it to Auntie, you can also taste the Danxiang and Qingrui."

"Ah, this is so precious."

Mother Shen was very embarrassed, "You should keep it for yourself."

"I have some here, specially for you guys to have a taste of."

Xu Jichang carried the bag and walked towards the door of the house with Mother Shen who was a little at a loss, "Where are Dan Rui and Qing Rui?"

It's too valuable, it's really too valuable.

Mother Shen knew very well how difficult it was to get some fresh seafood in the capital.

Xu Jichang directly brought them a large bag, which was really too rich.

"Danrui and Qingrui went to buy new year's goods and should be back soon."

"Don't bring anything with you next time you come over. We don't need anything here, really."

While talking, the two came to the living room. Mother Shen poured tea for Xu Jichang, took the bag with seafood and put it on the floor.

"Mom, come and help us carry our things, we can't carry them anymore."

As soon as the bag landed, Shen Qingrui's youthful and lively voice came from outside the courtyard door.

Mother Shen walked quickly to the door: "Look who is here."

As soon as she spoke, the footsteps outside obviously sped up.

Shen Qingrui entered the yard before her sister and saw Xu Jichang at a glance.

She was so happy that she didn't care about anything. Without saying a word, she put the bag on the ground and trotted into the house.

Behind him, Shen Danrui's helpless voice came: "Hey, bring your things."

Shen Qingrui doesn't care about this.

She ran into the living room as fast as she could, took Xu Jichang's hand, her beautiful eyes were shining, and her voice was full of grievance: "You haven't come to see me recently..."

"I'm not busy with work."

Seeing her aggrieved look, Xu Jichang couldn't help laughing, "After the first day of the new year, I will take you out to play whenever I have time."

"really?"

When Shen Qingrui heard that Xu Jichang was going to take her out to play, her eyes immediately shone, "Then don't regret it." At this time, Shen's mother and Shen Danrui each came up with two bags of new year's goods, both looking helpless.

"Childish, there's really nothing you can do about her."

Mother Shen smiled and shook her head, "When I was your age, I was always pulling you and your sister along."

"Isn't this nice? I like her like this."

Xu Jichang touched Shen Danrui's head to smooth things over.

"I heard that your Pioneer Distribution Company is quite big now?"

Shen Danrui put down the New Year's goods and walked up to ask.

Xu Jichang was a little surprised: "You know everything?"

"Although I no longer live in the same hospital as you, I still have contact with Zhu Wei. She told me."

"I see. Do you want to join our company?"

"Are you short of people?"

Shen Danrui said with hope, "It's really hard to find a job now..."

"I'll make arrangements for you during the new year. It just so happens that our company's business is expanding and we need people."

Xu Jichang agreed very readily.

Shen Danrui was his woman, and it was because of him that she quit her promising job and came to the capital.

Xu Jichang felt that he needed to help Shen Danrui.

Shen Danrui was overjoyed: "Then I will prepare well and perform well during your recruitment."

Mother Shen was also very happy: not only did she give such an expensive gift, but she also had to help Dan Rui with her work.

Such a good son-in-law is almost impossible to find even with a lantern.

At the same time, Shen's mother did not forget to care about Xu Jichang: "Is it easy for you to make arrangements there?"

"If it's troublesome, I'll let Dan Rui look for it on his own."

"No trouble, I'm the manager of the company now, it's just a matter of words."

Xu Jichang waved his hand very boldly.

More and more educated youth are returning to cities, and the difficulty of finding jobs in major cities is rising sharply.

Even a temporary worker can steal a head.

This is no longer a question of Shen Danrui's ability, but an objective competitive situation.

If he doesn't take action, Shen Danrui will really have to stay at home.

……

……

Xu Jichang finished his meal at Shen's house and rode his bicycle back.

Before leaving, Xu Jichang and Shen Qingrui made an appointment to take her out to play at the beginning of the year.

"You can't forget."

Shen Qingrui walked Xu Jichang to the entrance of the alley and said eagerly, "At eight o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of the lunar month, I will be waiting for you here. See you there."

Xu Jichang kissed her on her flawless face: "Don't worry, I can forget everything, but I won't forget you."

"Oh, you, aren't you afraid of someone?"

Shen Qingrui was so frightened that she quickly looked around, a slight blush appearing on her clear skin.

When she was sure there was no one around, she boldly stood up on tiptoes and quickly kissed Xu Jichang on the face.

After pecking it like a bird drinking water, Shen Qingrui immediately covered her face and ran away, leaving only a string of laughter like silver bells.

"interesting."

Xu Jichang touched the place where Shen Qingrui kissed and said to himself.

After returning home, Xu Jichang did not rest and gave new year's goods to Li Wanru, You Qingxia and Fang Runsu's family.

The first ones to go were sisters Li Wanru and Li Wansi.

When Li Wanru saw the seafood he sent, her red lips raised slightly and she showed an expected smile: "You made a lot of money selling seafood, right?"

Xu Jichang was as calm as an old dog: "How do you know?"

With this woman's ears and eyes, it's not surprising that she knows everything.

"I saw it myself. I had finished my New Year shopping and wanted to take a walk on the streets to see if there were any business opportunities."

"Then I saw you selling two big baskets of seafood there."

Li Wanru looked at Xu Jichang leisurely and said, "What I'm curious about is, how did you transport so much fresh seafood to the capital?"

"You can't control that. Just say whether you want to eat it or not."

"I took it back if I didn't want to eat it."

Xu Jichang curled his lips and said.

Borrowing space shelves for transportation is his biggest secret.

Let alone Li Wanru, even if all his women asked questions at the same time, he would not say anything.

"It seems I asked something I shouldn't have asked."

Li Wanru spread his hands, "I can't help it, my man has reservations after all."

"Okay, stop being so weird."

Xu Jichang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still want to become a shareholder?"

To be honest, it is not impossible for Li Wanru to become a shareholder.

After all, there are only so many supplies on the shelves in my space, and there is a limit to how much they can be exchanged for seafood.

When the day comes when business is really liberalized, I will definitely invest money in trafficking, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to find one of my own as a shareholder.

"See, I have my own way of making money too."

Li Wanru did not answer directly, "It's the antique business you don't like."

“It’s not that I don’t like it, I just don’t want to be exposed to this industry.”

Xu Jichang shrugged and spread his hands, "You must have made a lot of money, right?"

"Yes, I have made a lot of money. I am planning to invest in you again when I save it."

Li Wanru showed a charming smile, licked her lips and said, "Are you ready to accept my investment?"

"Then...of course I'm ready. But we'll discuss the details later."

Xu Jichang smelled the faint scent of perfume on Li Wanru's body and understood what she wanted to do. He quickly waved his hand, "I also want to send New Year's goods to You Qingxia and the others."

After saying that, Xu Jichang turned around and ran away, leaving only one sentence: "By the way, I didn't run into Wan Si today, remember to say hello to her for me."

He slipped away, otherwise he would have to spar with Li Wanru until dawn the next day.

……

When I returned from delivering the seafood, it was already the time when the lanterns were first lit.

There was heavy snow falling in the sky, and the north wind was blowing, pricking people's faces like steel needles.

What a wonderful homecoming on a snowy night.

When Xu Jichang arrived home, he saw a figure leaning on the door frame. It was Lan Qimei waiting for him.

"Are you frozen? I made chicken soup for you."

When she heard Xu Jichang opening the door, Lan Qimei had already walked from the living room to the door of the house. When she saw him, she immediately said softly and concernedly, "Come in and drink."

"Fortunately, I'm resistant to freezing."

Xu Jichang pushed his bicycle to the door and said with a hiss.

Lan Qimei patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and back distressedly: "Wanru and the others... are they okay?"

Xu Jichang parked his bicycle and walked into the living room: "They are all living a good life. They have established a firm foothold in the capital."
