Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 700 Fish and Fishing

"Erwa and the others are back!"

"So fast?"

"Let's go and have a look."

Near noon, as a news spread, Tagou Village, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly became restless. Villagers ran out of their cave dwellings and rushed to the entrance of the village.

Everyone is in extremely good spirits. In addition to the big meal last night that was more sumptuous than the New Year's dinner, more importantly, they have more hope in their hearts.

Hope for a good life!

Deputy County Magistrate Gao's classmates from out of town taught them how to make two snacks that are said to be very popular in the south and are also in line with their local appetites - they have tasted them all and they are indeed delicious. He also taught them to take it to the town and sell it. If it was easy to sell, wouldn’t this business be a long-term business in the future?

Their village is in dire need of additional sources of income.

In the past, I could only live on a few acres of wasteland and some livestock. Life was very tight. It was fine when everything went well at home, but if something bad happened and I couldn't make a living, it would really make me anxious to death.

Li Jiankun and Hu Ziqiang also received the news and followed the running villagers to the entrance of the village.

Although Tagou Village is located in a desert, theoretically there are tens of millions of routes in and out, but the only road that can really be regarded as a road is the loess road at the entrance of the village that stretches into the mountain stream. The road surface varies in width, and the narrowest place only accommodates one person. There is a tractor passing through, and there are cliffs below.

Now, on the loess road entering the village, there were five young men walking together. Two of them were carrying bamboo baskets and walking towards the village at a very fast speed, looking very tired and strenuous.

Such a scene made the villagers who gathered at the entrance of the village suddenly feel their hearts full of expectations sink to the bottom.

Not sold?

Probably not even sold at all.

You must know that these five children are the youngest and strongest in the village. Their upper body usually weighs 30 to 50 pounds as if they are nothing. If the goods are sold, the bamboo basket must not be that heavy. Five people take turns to carry it, even if they travel a long distance. Not so tired.

"Oh, I just said they came back too early. It takes a long time to go back and forth on a mountain road of more than ten miles." A villager said frustratedly.

"It's still early, why don't you sell it for a while, maybe someone will buy it in the afternoon?"

"No one must care about it."

The mood of the villagers seemed very low.

Hu Ziqiang scratched his head and raised his brows and said: "It seems that it is really not selling at all. It doesn't make sense. Youtiao and twists are snacks regardless of region. Our prices are not expensive. Even the economy of this place is so poor in the town. ?"

The goods that the five young men carried out in the morning were made overnight last night. Under Li Jiankun's sales training, some fragmentary samples were also prepared for consumers to try.

I haven’t served spicy strips for the time being, because Li Jiankun hasn’t trial-produced them to a relatively satisfactory level——

He most likely knows the main categories of La Tiao's soul mix, but the specifics, including the ratio, are impossible to know unless someone is in this business. He can only keep trying to try to fit the taste.

"Pretending." Li Jiankun curled his lips and smiled.

"Ah?" Brother Qiang's eyes widened, and he looked at it again. It seemed that it was really interesting. How could five people take turns carrying two bamboo baskets to be so tired?

The guy who didn't have a basket on his back was still panting with his tongue hanging out.

Overdoing it.

"Pfft!" As we were approaching the entrance of the village, we saw all the villagers looking downcast. One of the five young men couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.

"Fuck, Erba, you are rubbish!"

"Waste! Waste!"

"You bitch, it was you who came up with the idea!"

In exchange, four other young men chased and beat him.

Look at them again. They are as light as swallows and walk as fast as flying. How can they look like they are carrying heavy objects on their backs?

The villagers opened their eyes wide at the same time. They were a little confused at first, and then they all laughed and cursed.

They were all local witty sayings, and Li Jiankun probably didn't understand them. What little he did understand, he didn't express them. They were unpalatable and wild.

The village chief, who was tall and tall, put his hands on his hips and laughed and scolded: "I think there are five of you who need to be dealt with, why don't you get over here quickly!"

The five young men were very afraid of him. They really didn't dare not to regard the village chief as a cadre. Moreover, in a remote mountainous place like this, the village chief was often a very senior and highly respected person in the village.

He immediately ran over in a hurry.

The villagers rushed up to pick up the two bamboo baskets and looked at them. They saw that they were empty. How could there be any goods?

"All sold out?"

"How long has it been? Is it so easy to sell?"

"How much did it cost?"

The villagers were surprised and couldn't wait to ask questions.

Gao Dacai looked at Erwa, the leader of the five, "Why are you so shocked? Tell me quickly!"

Erwa laughed and said happily: "You don't know, these two things are very naughty. We followed the method taught by Brother Li, went to the town to choose a place to set up a stall, and shouted 'free trial for free', oh ! It’s like a dog smelling shit, and everyone around him gathered around..." Brother Qiang laughed: "The boy can be taught, he can also use metaphors."

Li Jiankun rolled his eyes. However, the reason why Erwa was chosen as the captain was indeed because of his eloquence.

Erwa was frothing: "When people come, we give them the prepared minced rice. After tasting it, their eyes lit up and the roundworms in their stomachs were aroused. Someone immediately asked us how to sell it."

"After I quoted the price, I told them that you can also buy fried dough sticks and twists to eat in the soup. They are not only snacks, but can also be used as meals. After such publicity, those who touched their wallets finally couldn't help it anymore and paid for them.

"If there is one, there are two. There are more and more people. A basket of fried dough sticks and a basket of twists are sold out three times five times two. In fact, it doesn't take a lot of effort. Many people haven't bought it yet, and they are cursing and asking us if we still sell it. , I said sell it, and they would wait there tomorrow at the same place.”

"Hahahahaha!" The villagers laughed in unison, which was very satisfying just to hear it.

After Erwa finished speaking, she grinned, looked around subconsciously, pulled out a black cloth bag from the bulging old blue jacket, and opened the mouth of the bag like a treasure: "Look!"

Hoohoo!

The surrounding villagers looked over and saw that the black cloth bag originally containing tobacco was filled with money and notes, almost overflowing.

Many people were still gasping and a little scared - they rarely have the opportunity to see so much money.

The other four young men couldn't help but speak one after another:

"As you can see, this money is so profitable!"

“In fact, even if we have several times more goods, we can easily sell them!”

"We have been selling goods together for less than an hour. We were walking back slowly. On the way, Erba came up with a bad idea and said he wanted to deceive everyone. We were discussing and rehearsing, hehe..."

The yelling and cursing sounded again, but every villager's face was filled with endless joy.

This is a great way to make money!

"Hey, you guys, why haven't we thought about this before? I think even if we don't sell these two southern snacks, we can still sell the hard-working food that we only make locally during the holidays. It should be easy to sell in the town. ?”

Before the villagers could discuss this topic, a voice came from everyone's ears: "That's right!"

Li Jiankun looked at the villager who proposed this point and handed him a thumbs up. If this person also has the ability to take action, he will definitely be the first to get rich in the future.

In this era, affected by multiple factors, the thinking of ordinary people is actually very rigid. People like this who are willing to change their minds are already considered potential stocks.

But there are also advantages these days. Materials are scarce and the market is hungry for all kinds of goods. At this time, whoever has the power and brains to take action first to provide the goods that the people need, who will be rich if they are not rich?

"It's very good to think like this. In fact, as long as everyone has some colorful and uncommon things, they can be sold easily. It's not just food. Don't always look at your three-acre land. You really want to get rid of poverty and become rich. , think more about what others need, and then think about what you can do your best to provide based on yourself, so that if someone wants it and you have the goods, a way to make money will come..."

Li Jiankun followed this topic and tried to explain the underlying logic of the transaction in plain language, hoping that more villagers could understand it.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. This is the effect he most wants to achieve.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of selecting any difficult-to-find products. In fact, he only slightly innovated on the villagers' original craftsmanship. The purpose was to inspire everyone and teach them fishing skills, rather than simply The land gave them fish.

Of course, spicy strips are an occasional event. This thing is both a fish and a fish, so long-term planning can be made.

The villagers listened attentively and nodded in unison. It is unknown how many people actually learned. But it doesn’t matter, there is a long way to go. As long as someone in the village gets rid of poverty and becomes rich, it will have a leading effect on others.

And if you want the whole village to get rich collectively, the best way is to collectivize operations and set up a cooperative or something, because it is foreseeable that not every villager is suitable for business, and some people can't even shout out the words to sell. But maybe he worked hard without complaint. Let’s discuss this matter with the village chief later.

"Jiankun, you have helped our village a lot!"

The village chief Gao Dacai said excitedly that he had a feeling in the dark that Tagou Village would undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.

Look around at these folks. The numbness that had been smoothed by life in the past has disappeared without a trace. Everyone is filled with a desire to make money and exudes a spirit of running for a good life.

His education level is not high, just at primary school level. He thinks this is called: hope!

The villagers echoed incessantly and surrounded Li Jiankun, and their grateful eyes fell on him. Hu Ziqiang followed him, proudly thinking: Do you think my Kunzi is joking when it comes to making money?

Meng Qiaolan held Dandan in one hand and Niuniu in the other, standing on the periphery of the crowd, looking at the two young men in the center, with a soft smile on her face, and she missed her husband in her heart.

She thought: If Jin Xi were here right now, she wouldn't know how happy she would be. How to make the village live a good life has always been a concern of his. It is not that he has not made efforts to this end. The "poverty alleviation and breeding" project launched by the county the year before last was exactly his work.

Many families have benefited from this project and have more livestock.

There is also the “Changing to Commercial Crops” project early last year, which has also increased the income of many families.

It's just that in his position, it's not easy to favor one thing over another, and he treats Tagou Village equally, failing to bring about qualitative changes.

Alas, after all is said and done, the county is still too poor. No matter what projects are undertaken, the operating funds that can be raised are pitiful.

"Mom, Uncle Li is really capable!" Dandan's eyes showed admiration.

Niu Niu added: "As capable as Da Da!"

Little did they know that their elder was on his way back to the village, and his mood was completely different from theirs.
