Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 4 Making Money Plans
"Lao Wu, take the money and the tickets, go to the sales agency tomorrow to buy some things, and take them to the woman's house."

His father, Yao Xiangui, put the money note on the kang and continued: "What you said about breaking off the engagement makes sense, but now Ma Guangsheng doesn't want to take care of it. Your father and I are too old to do this. Well, it would be more appropriate to go alone.

When the time comes, say more nice things when you meet them, and don't get into trouble with them, you know? "

Yao Xiangui paused for a while when he said this, and suddenly sighed and said: "As for you, don't blame dad for being harsh in front of the family just now. The main reason is that you handled this matter so out of control. I won't say that, How will you manage this family in the future? Think about it yourself!"

Yao Weijun looked at his father calmly, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Dad, do you really not care about me marrying a wife in the future?"

"Hmph! Ask me again when you develop this skill!"

Yao Xiangui glared at him angrily, stood up and left.

"Oh, Junzi, didn't I just say that your father's words were all angry? How can the elder not care about his own child's marriage?"

Mother Zhu Mei said angrily.

"Does your head still hurt? I brought you some bacon and dried tofu from the dining room. After you finish eating, just put the plate in this room. I'll pick it up tomorrow!"

"Father, mother, you can eat some together too." Yao Weijun said warmly.

"I'm so angry, stop doing this!" Yao Xiangui walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.

"If you really have such filial piety, you will make me and your father less angry in the future. That would be better than anything else!" Mother Zhu Mei said with a smile and quietly left the house.

Yao Weijun looked at the five yuan and food on the bed, feeling warm in his heart.

As far as his idle energy was concerned, it was pretty good that his parents could do this.

"With these five dollars, I can start my money-making plan. As for the woman, I'll drop by tomorrow. It's just a matter of a few words!"

Yao Weijun ate the fragrant bacon and thought about his next plan.

……

The next morning, Yao Weijun drank a bowl of polenta, returned to the west wing, dug out a canvas work bag, put it on his body, and went out.

Nowadays, there is no land distribution in the village, and every household has to work every day to earn work points.

Yao Weijun's previous impression was not very good. He only worked three days fishing and two days drying nets, earning only a few work points a year.

So when he left the village with his work bag, people had long been accustomed to it and didn't even bother to ask.

Yao Weijun left Jiachang Village and rushed towards Daliu Commune.

He had made up his mind last night and planned to use the five yuan in his pocket to buy some raw melon seeds and peanuts from the commune, fry them into spiced melon seeds and spiced peanuts, and sell them for money.

In the early 80s, the policy was gradually liberalized.

During this period, as long as you are a little bolder and a little more alert, you can get on the trend and make a lot of money.

Although snacks like melon seeds and peanuts are inconspicuous, based on Yao Weijun's experience in his previous life, this stuff is not only easy to fry, but also has a huge market demand and is also very profitable.

The most important thing is that it is unremarkable.

If you are really caught, you will be fined three to five yuan at most.

As long as he keeps his wealth secret and does not reveal his wealth, when the responsibility fields of each village are divided, he can accumulate enough capital in advance to participate in other businesses.

Halfway through, Yao Weijun turned into a small road and came to Fengyang Village.

The woman, Liu Chunling, lived in this village, and he planned to stop by to have a showdown and completely resolve the issue of breaking off the engagement.

Not long after, Yao Weijun arrived at the Fengyang Village brigade headquarters.

After explaining his purpose, the clerk quickly called back Liu Chunling's parents who were working in the fields.

"Why are you here? Where is Ma Guangsheng?" Liu Chunling's father was a little surprised by Yao Weijun's rash visit. He felt that he was not married yet, so no matter what happened, he should let the matchmaker Ma Guangsheng talk to him.

"I'm just here to tell you that it's impossible for my family to buy four big things at this stage, even if I have the money. Do you understand?"

Yao Weijun couldn't be polite to him and said straightforwardly.

"If you have the guts, then don't even think about marrying my daughter!" Liu Chunling's father suddenly became very angry and expressed his attitude loudly.

What Yao Weijun wanted was for him to say this, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately come to the village headquarters to meet.

"A word is settled!"

He turned around and said to the village clerk: "Liu Wenshu, you have heard it. It was his family who proposed that they did not want to marry their daughter to me. I had no choice but to agree. This matter ends here. Let's take the first step!" "

After Yao Weijun finished speaking, he turned around and left the village headquarters, striding towards the outside of the village.

"Huh, look at your arrogant look. With your behavior like this, my daughter is not worthy of being married. You will be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"

Liu Chunling's father stood at the entrance of the village, hands behind his back, shouting angrily.

"Don't go on forever! I won't argue with you this time. If I do it next time, my mouth will be swollen!"

Yao Weijun suddenly turned around and shouted in a cold voice from afar.

Liu Chunling's father wanted to say more, but was pulled back to the village headquarters by the clerk.

After leaving Fengyang Village, Yao Weijun returned to the road and rushed to Daliu Commune.

He did not go directly to the cooperative to buy peanuts and melon seeds, but wandered around.

There is a market in the commune today, just because as the autumn harvest is approaching, there are not many people going to the market.

In this era, you still need a receipt to buy anything, but because the situation has become more relaxed, villagers in each village can buy things they produce at home with money at the market.

Even grain is included, and there is also negotiated grain that can be bought and sold in the market.

Yao Weijun planned to work as a ticket seller, convert the tickets in his hand into money, and then find someone to buy melon seeds and peanuts, so that he could buy more and go back.

After a short time, he contacted the ticket seller and completed the transaction, exchanging the ticket in his hand for two dollars.

“How to sell dried peanuts?”

In front of a stall, Yao Weijun squatted down and pulled the shelled peanuts in his pocket with his hand and asked.

"Two cents per pound, how much do you want?" The stall owner said, picking up the scale and asked with a smile.

"The price is not cheap, it is more expensive than in the cooperative!" Yao Weijun frowned slightly.

The stall owner was unhappy when he heard this, "It's so fresh. The cooperative sells it for [-] cents per catty. Can you buy it without a ticket? It's a bit expensive for me, but it's convenient for you, isn't it?"

"Well, give me thirty kilograms and pay you six yuan and forty cents, okay?"

"Six dollars and a half, and I'll give you a bag!"

"Sign up!"

"Got it!"

……

Yao Weijun paid the money and left the stall with half a bag of shelled peanuts.

Then he bought some aniseed, pepper, fragrant leaves and other seasonings at the market, and finally returned to the village with only ten cents left in his pocket.

The village earns two work points in the morning, four in the morning, and four in the afternoon. Ten work points a day. Accumulated throughout the year, based on current prices, the average income is only [-] cents a day.

When Yao Weijun came back from rebirth, it was impossible for him to earn work points in the field.

In fact, he calculated it carefully on the way home.

The shelled peanuts cost [-] cents per pound. Taking into account the cost of buying condiments and losses, the cost is only [-] cents. And the fried five-spice peanuts can be sold for [-] yuan or [-] cents per pound.

Because from memory, the price of spiced melon seeds in this era is more than a pound per piece, and the price of spiced peanuts will only be higher.

In this way, based on the calculation of earning one yuan per catty, thirty catties can earn 30 yuan.

It can easily be more than what people in the village earn from three months of work-share labor!
