Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 48 Business is booming
"32 block 6!"

Wang Shanhe was extremely excited and performed a hip dance on the spot.

"Jiankun, I insist on getting this deal. It's almost ten days until New Year's Eve, and I can't get more than 300 dishes?!"

"Small."

"What?"

"The layout is small."

"..."

Li Jiankun was confident and said: "We will start work late today and close the stall early. Otherwise, we will do it when we come. The supply and marketing cooperative can also supply red paper. We will work until dark and we will pass 40. Maybe we can reach 50."

“Also, on the first day, a lot of people don’t know the news yet, so let it fly for a while.

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see, it will explode tomorrow!"

Xiao Wang laughed loudly and said, "Anyway, I've let out all my harsh words. I'll probably be more relaxed tomorrow. Don't you lie down too tired?"

"It doesn't make any sense. Pay is directly proportional to income, but that's not necessarily the case."

"What's wrong?"

"If there are a lot of woodblock New Year pictures printed, I will mainly print woodblock New Year pictures first. This thing is not labor-intensive, just cover and expand."

Printing press mockup.

Oh no, it looks like a money printing machine.

As long as the quantity is large, how about a dime?
If you are quick with your hands and feet, you can make a pair of extensions in one minute. If Xiao Wang's cruel words work, everyone will cut the paper and come over, and the assembly line operation will be completed.

Not only did it gain a reputation for high quality and low prices, but it also made money.

It's not better than selling it for a few cents, and making many villagers reluctant to buy it, or unable to afford it?
The ultimate form of manufacturing is wholesale.

Regardless of the top 500 companies in the future, as long as they ship goods, they cannot avoid wholesale.

Needless to say, Li Jiankun felt that after a few days of this, the local mermaids would eat a lot, their heads would be quite lively, and they would not be short of courage and fatness, fearing that retailers would appear.

Well, in this era they are called second-rate dealers.

As for counterfeiting, just do whatever you want, and by the time they get the woodblocks out, the New Year will be over.

Being able to bring this traditional craft originating from Zhongzhou to the local area, if it can be carried forward, will be considered a great merit.
-
Five watch.

The town is still dark.

Yue Jinbao put a roll of red paper in his armpit, took a flashlight, and touched Chenjiaping.

Chen Jiaping didn't even wake up so early in the morning.

Yue Jinbao didn't care, he found a sheltered corner, squatted on the ground, and raised the big red eagle.

The smoke mixed with the morning fog of winter lingered around him, but it could not hide the lingering sadness in the brows of this strong man.

He didn't sleep all night.

I came back from the county meat factory in the early morning. When I got home, my mother fell ill again. Her feet did not touch the floor and she was busy taking care of her.

strange disease.

She often wakes up from her dreams, saying that there is a monster with a pig's head and a human body, which has been chasing her and wants to eat her.

The town health center is at a loss.

A while ago, I asked an expert from Hongshan Commune to take a look at it.

Said it was up to him.

He kills too much.

But the evil spirit was so strong that those pig souls did not dare to cause trouble for him, so they entangled the people closest to him.

Everyone in the town knows that his butcher-in-law is the most filial to his old mother.

My father passed away early, and it was really not easy for me to drag him up with poop and pee.

The expert also tried this trick, but he only survived for one night.

Yue Jinbao was so worried that his hair turned white.

But he had to continue doing this killing thing, it was his job.

He is the butcher at the town food store. No, as the end of the year approaches, the company is overwhelmed. After selling meat every day, he has to rush to the county to help.

Why don't we slaughter dozens of pigs one day?
He heard about something yesterday. After arriving in the county, he didn't go to the meat factory immediately. He went to buy a large roll of red paper first.

Prepare to invite some divine generals to come home and guard the house!
As we waited, the sky gradually became brighter, and Chenjiaping became more and more lively.

He wasn't the only one who was planning to rush early.

Saw a few guys with red paper.

"What about printing New Year pictures, I came first!"

He couldn't tell for sure where they set up their stall, maybe it was different today, but anyway, if he yelled like this, it would count.

No one really dares to argue with him.

How could the butcher be offended?

Commune leaders always smile when they see me.

It belongs to a food company, and like a supply and marketing cooperative, it is under the direct leadership of the county party committee, and ordinary cadres have no control over it.

When you go to chop meat, whether the knife goes up and down the lean meat or the fat meat, it all depends on the mood of the person.
-
A couple of guys, pushing a tricycle, slowly arrived at Chenjiaping at dawn.

What a bad temper Yue Jinbao was. He waited for three full hours in the cold wind!
Aren’t you active in making money?
Shake your arms and walk over!

Li Jiankun was originally a little puzzled as to why someone who got up early and came to wait for him would give up his seat and look at him.

Good guy!
Li Kui.It looked familiar, so Xiao Wang reminded me.

Dare it be this man.

But, bro, this won't work.

Merchants must know how to take care of customers' emotions and must not be special in public.

That's self-destructive.

"What are you doing? Line up. First come, first served. If you don't line up, you won't write."

Damn it, can you say it again?
Yue Jinbao strode closer and slapped the red paper on the table!

Bend over.

"Little comrade, I came here before dawn. I'm the first one. Look at the dew on my body."

The dark face was full of smiles.

Li Jiankun looked at him and then at the customers lining up.

"He came first?"

Seeing everyone nodding, he accepted his red paper.

"Hey, little comrade, write four pairs of couplets and print four pairs of New Year pictures."

"Fourth officer?"

"Yes, one for the front door, one for the back, one for the door, and one for the bedside."

"..."

Where can I take it back and set up a formation?

Okay, big customer, it’s up to him to buy it, just take the order!

"Little comrade, do a better job and change it to my chopped meat. I guarantee your satisfaction." Yue Jinbao said with a wink.

Is this PY transaction so blatant?

Fortunately, no one around seemed to think there was a problem.

Li Jiankun smiled back and said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The first New Year picture was printed. Yue Jinbao picked it up and looked at it with a smile on his face.

So mighty, domineering, and fierce!
Maybe it can actually happen.

This god general is much more vicious than him.

Little did he know that Li Jiankun spent [-]% of his energy on his face when carving this woodblock.

See, even God has to rely on his face to make a living.

"Comrade, remember to chop the meat!"

Everything was put away, and Butcher Yue was very satisfied.

Upset.

Today's business was completely anticipated by Li Jiankun.

exploded!

There are people waiting here before dawn, and when the sun is about to set, the team has not dispersed yet.

More than 200 woodblock New Year pictures were printed.

In fact, there are no fewer couplets written, there are still more than 200 pairs.

earned a lot!

So the next morning, as soon as Li Jiankun came out of the brigade intersection, he saw a three-wheeler.

"Jiankun, hurry up!"

Yep, addicted.

In the words of later generations, this is called the joy of shearing wool.

Business was the best on the third day, and the flow of people at Chenjiaping Market exceeded the historical peak.

After closing the stall at night and going home, when Li Jiankun was picking up vegetables, he accidentally swished his chopsticks...

On the fourth day, the flow of people dropped sharply.

It's not that the business can't be done, it's because of force majeure.

The reimbursement of grain has come down.

The sky is big and the earth is big, but it is not big enough to fill your stomach.

Crowds of people gathered at the town grain management office.

At the market, Li Jiankun didn't care. The resale of grain was only a matter of one or two days, so it was just a matter of time.

Doing this for a few trades and taking breaks is the most comfortable.

Near noon, a guy with a deer-headed and rat-like appearance appeared in front of the stall.

Don't buy it, just take a look.

Li Jiankun also looked at him for half an hour.

When the queued business was finished and everyone was rushing home to eat, this guy came up to me with a smile on his face.
