Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 189 Identity Issues Become Trouble Again

The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are celebrated in succession, and eels are not as easy to catch in autumn as in summer, so the prices of many aquatic products have gone up. At some wedding banquets, a plate of eel, loach or something in a small hotel can be sold for 68 or 88, while in a big hotel it can cost hundreds. And one dish can’t give you a pound. I don’t know how much it is in the north. Anyway, the portions of southern dishes are not big.

A plate of eel looks like a big plate, but it actually has a lot of cheap side dishes.

Liu Xiaofei's second uncle's business was not good in the first few days after he opened his store, but it made them earn more. Because when Luo Cheng purchased goods, the purchasing price did not increase. The goods bought at 19.1 Jin cost 500 to 600 jins. In the first two days, they sold about 150 jins. Then the price of eels and loaches began to rise all the way. In autumn, more people eat eels and loaches. stand up.

At the current retail price, a small eel is already in its thirties. Small here refers to one that costs less than two taels, and those that cost around three taels are sold for thirty-five.

Moreover, Liu Xiaofei's second uncle was not that honest in business. Many of the people who bought fish and shrimps were brought back without killing them. But because the eel looks like a snake, many people don't dare to kill it. It seems that Quejin Shaoliang is a self-taught person. They just made a magic scale and sold eels.

There are a lot of people being killed, so it depends on the person. Some very young people, if they hear that they want to help kill, they will directly give you eight taels. It looks like a smart customer, so give him nine taels. Even if you really don't want to kill at all, I will give you a ninety-five scale.

With such a weight on the scale, the second uncle and the others still felt that they had a conscience. As for those mobile fruit vendors, some of them are shady and only have six or seven taels per pound, which is normal.

Get an eight-liang scale, and Liu Xiaofei's second uncle and the others can earn more than ten yuan for a thirty-one-pound eel, which is even more expensive. Now one or two hundred kilograms a day can be sold casually, and in another month, in mid-October, the weather will be cold even in the south, and the price of eels will rise. By that time, even if the little eel cheats on the scale by one or two, it will cost several yuan.

Earning one or two thousand a day, Liu Xiaofei's second uncle and the others felt that they were about to make a fortune. They originally thought that they would default on the payment to Liu Xiaofei for their usual purchases. But because my sister-in-law came over, I didn’t default on it.

But the payment was not in arrears, but Uncle Er and the others actually started playing futures. Knowing that the price of eels was obviously going to rise, the second uncle directly placed an order with Liu Xiaofei in advance. For example, if you want two thousand catties of eels at once, you will be asked to pay when you pick up the goods. But there's no place for him to put so many at once, and with his uncle-nephew relationship, he can't order goods like this and require a deposit.

The second uncle and his friends are interested in the fact that the price of eels will continue to rise. It costs 2,000 kilograms at a time, which is enough for them to sell for ten days. Book in advance and the price will be calculated based on the date of booking. You won’t pay a penny anyway. If this goes up, if it goes up by one yuan, you can earn two thousand. And depending on the situation, the price will only rise, not fall.

It's really bad, and they didn't pay the deposit, so the previous reservation was treated as if it didn't happen. Relatives, how can we still call them relatives if we care too much about them?

And Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei really thought that their second uncle and the others were just hoarding goods empty-handed, because it was only two thousand kilograms, and an increase of one or two yuan would only cost several thousand yuan. Now that the price of eels and loaches has risen, Liu Xiaofei feels like she's making crazy money. Moreover, Boss Zhou of Private Kitchen also introduced a business to Luo Cheng. He was a very wealthy boss and his child was engaged. Fifty tables, I learned that there are wild turtles here in Luo Cheng, and I want to buy fifty of them and have them processed directly by the hotel.

If you ask for fifty large turtles weighing more than two and a half kilograms to less than three kilograms, they will directly give you fifty thousand yuan. It's one of a thousand, which is higher than the market price. But I need fifty turtles weighing more than two and a half kilograms at a time, wild ones. Unless you are a big boss who specializes in wild products, there is really no one in Jiangzhou who can supply them.

The portion of ordinary soft-shell turtle is too small. Many restaurants serve soft-shell turtle with a lot of quail eggs at the bottom. It seems that it is a requirement of the dish, but in fact, if the soft-shelled turtle is not big, it will look lacking in noodles.

If you get fifty of these wild soft-shelled turtles weighing more than two and a half kilograms each at once, a knowledgeable person will know how big the spectacle is. Moreover, there are still people who collect wild turtle shells, and the farmed ones are worth twenty or thirty, and they have to be dried. Wild ones cost hundreds. If they are over two and a half kilograms, the turtle shells can cost over one hundred and fifty if they are cleaned and recycled.

Boss Zhou introduced this business to Luo Cheng, and Luo Cheng also wanted to give him some introduction fees. But he didn't want it, because Luo Cheng could provide him with more than two and a half kilograms of turtles, which would only give him face. Moreover, Boss Zhou also made it clear that the boss over there was asking him to help with the introduction, but he owed Boss Zhou a favor.

So Liu Xiaofei's second uncle felt that he was making a lot of money. In fact, Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei had made more money recently, and the business of his three stores was better than before, but not a lot. But coupled with the increase in unit price, the profit is equivalent to doubling.

Liu Xiaofei's mother called her sister and cousin to help Luo Cheng. The original intention was to help Luo Cheng and take care of her sister and cousin at the same time. The salary is not very high, but working as a cashier is really easy. In this free time, we can play cards together. At the card table, the women will naturally talk about how much profit they make from selling eels and loaches in a day.

Liu Xiaofei's second aunt is also an unruly person. I heard the elder sister-in-law say that Xiao Fei and Luo Cheng have been earning an average of more than 20,000 yuan a day recently. The second aunt was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she earned too little, so she also said that her business was also very good, with one or two thousand yuan a day. It's nothing compared to Little Philo, but this business is really good.

A shop or stall costs a lot to operate, but even if it is a shop, eel sellers don’t have to spend a lot of money to decorate it. In fact, just over 10,000 yuan is enough to open a store and add some equipment. Er Aunt's new store has just opened, and she is considering finding a place to open a second one.

But the speaker and the listener are interested, and the aunt and cousin who came here to help are the sister and cousin of Xiaofei's mother. I heard that it costs tens of thousands of yuan to set up a stall in a vegetable market or farmer's market. In some places, the rent may be paid every three months or every six months, which is more expensive. But the profit from trading is really good.

How about letting Xiaofei take care of it, and they also ask family members to open a shop. According to Xiaofei's second uncle's situation, there seems to be no risk in opening such a store. The only thing that can be lost is the store fee. If the eel cannot be sold, it can be returned to Liu Xiaofei. As long as they don't die, the eels don't need to be fed anything and can be kept in a cool place for a few days.

Only a small amount of capital is required, the risk is low, no skills are required, and the profit is high. There are not many people who are not interested in this kind of business, so without anyone knowing, Liu Xiaofei's aunt and cousin told her family members over there that they could make more money by selling eels here.

If my aunt and cousin's family are tempted, they will come over soon.

As for making money now, whoever wants to make money relies on Luo Cheng's supply of goods. Luo Cheng didn't care at all. Recently, he was troubled by the issue of his ID card.

Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to use Liu Xiaofei's ID card, and everything seemed to be easy to handle. But his and Liu Xiaofei's initial explanation was that they had lost their ID cards and mobile phones when they came here, and Liu Xiaofei didn't think too deeply about it at that time.

But Liu Xiaofei's mother came here and asked about his situation, but Luo Cheng still used the previous excuses. To say he lost it, he was really over eighteen years old. According to the legal age of marriage in this era, twenty-two is enough for men and twenty-two is enough for women. This means that if Luo Cheng wants to marry Liu Xiaofei, she can get married in more than a year, but Luo Cheng cannot.

Although marriage these days is just a piece of paper, it is becoming less and less binding on men and women. Even if you get married and then divorce, if you don't get married, things like having children and going to school these days are also very relaxed.

Liu Xiaofei's mother didn't want to find out anything about Luo Cheng, but thought that if Luo Cheng really wanted to get married, it would take three years. That's just a certificate. As long as Xiao Fei and Luo Cheng are sincerely together, even if they can't get a certificate, they can still be engaged to have a husband and children.

However, getting engaged and having a child is an afterthought. Now it is very simple to apply for a new ID card. Except for some special places where you need to go back in person to apply for a new ID card, many places can do it in other places. Even if I can't apply for it in another place, I still can't get a new temporary ID card. At best, the temporary ID card does not have a chip, and you need to manually enter information when going to the bank or applying for a phone card. But a temporary ID card can also handle many things.

Liu Xiaofei's mother said that Liu Xiaofei had never lost her ID card and didn't know about it. When her mother said this, she asked Luo Cheng that he could apply for a temporary one first.

Luo Cheng is worried now just because of the ID card issue. The store's business is good and his income has increased a lot, but he doesn't have much thought about it.

I searched a lot of information about illegal households on the Internet. In fact, in this era, there are still many illegal households without household registration or ID cards. However, many people become illegal households for various reasons, and most of them can actually restore their household registration. For example, those who have no household registration due to parental reasons, those who gave birth to children out of wedlock, abandoned babies, etc. But these will have objective factors and can be investigated. Luo Cheng, however, had nothing. It was difficult for him to make up a reasonable reason for becoming a gangster, because it required investigation and verification.

Luo Cheng had checked some information about black households before, but he didn't go into depth. I have checked carefully and frequently in the past few days, but the more I do this, the more desperate I feel. There are many illegal households who cannot obtain household registration due to various historical reasons, but at least they have a life history from childhood to adulthood. Even if they do not have household registration and ID cards, they are not afraid of investigation. He could provide various information to prove the reason why he didn't have an ID card, but he didn't even have this.

But there was no formal way, but he discovered the irregular one. It costs a lot of money, and you have to be careful about getting caught. Instead of applying for a fake ID card, you can get a real one. Once successful, Luo Cheng will be able to truly have his identity in the future era.

I didn’t find out how to apply for a certificate directly on the Internet, but I saw some so-called information on how to apply for a certificate, which is all found online. It is impossible for illegal information to appear on a regular website.

Luo Cheng sought medical treatment in a hurry and joined several random groups. At first, he wanted to get a fake certificate to fool Liu Xiaofei and her mother. But after joining some groups, they feel unreliable. The only reliable one is actually not a fake certificate, but a very secretive illegal group.

Maybe the group I added that made Luo Cheng feel a bit reliable was also fake, but even if it was fake, it still sounded real.

That group is not specifically for people to apply for household registration information, but it promotes the ability to apply for birth certificates, but it is usually for children. Newly born, or already several years old. But Luo Cheng felt that it could be handled, and he wanted to ask an 18-year-old child if he could handle it.

It costs 80,000 yuan to apply for a certificate, which can only prove which day and hospital you were born. Luo Cheng directly asked in the group if there was anyone who could bring someone like him, who couldn't prove anything, an honest and honest account.

And there are really good people in the group. People say that those who are famous, like Li Lianjie or someone else, may not be able to return to their domestic registration after spending tens of millions. But if there really is the kind of person who can't find any information on the Internet, there really are channels to help Luo Cheng obtain household registration.

However, people were very cautious and asked him to reveal his assets first. If he didn't have money, people would ignore Luo Cheng. In addition, Luo Cheng has to pay an advance payment, and the ratio is not high. People will bet on whether you believe it or not. In addition, many details were explained. The main thing is that Luo Chengde is really like a blank piece of paper. You must know that in the end, you go to a formal place to apply for household registration. You take a photo, get a fingerprint, and do a blood test and so on.

When a lot of stuff comes out of the database, it will be a scam.

The boss contacted Luo Cheng privately and offered one-stop service for 200,000 yuan. The deposit of 10% depends mainly on whether Luo Cheng is sincere and whether he is here to fish. And we must ensure that Luo Chengzhen's background is clean, otherwise if any problems are found, the cooperation will be terminated directly, and the deposit will definitely not be refunded.

After the two talked a lot in private, they came up with a plan. If you just want to register, apply for an ID card. Find a remote mountain village, where he will arrange everything and give Luo Cheng an orphan status. His parents are gone. Arrange someone to prove that Luo Cheng is from that place.

This is why Luo Cheng requires a surname. It would be cheaper if he didn't require a surname. If you ask for the city where you were born, it will be more difficult, you will have to pay extra, and you may have to wait for a long time.

200,000 yuan, including hospital birth certificate and witness certification fees in remote mountain villages. Then Luo Cheng went to apply for the formal household registration process. If anything happens, everything that can be done will be done. The main reason is that Luo Cheng is the first adult to apply for a black account certificate, and the boss wants to try to develop new business.

The deposit of 20,000 yuan was nothing to Luo Cheng, mainly because he had no better way to formally solve the identity problem. There is no restriction on the other person's geographical location. Even if your accent is completely wrong, you can say that the city where you lived when you were a child is not that place.

After transferring a deposit of 20,000 yuan, the other party did not blacklist Luo Cheng, which made Luo Cheng feel a lot more at ease. But now we can only wait. Luo Cheng was told not to send him messages at ordinary times, but to contact him when there is news. If Luo Cheng didn't trust him and kept sending messages, he would directly block him.

And Luo Cheng was threatened with a blacklist warning, thinking in his heart that no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will report it to you afterwards. It's best to do it all at once, and if it happens, it might become a permanent secret.

Days passed. In the future, Luo Cheng rented a shed to raise eels and asked some older people from a brigade in the village to dig it out with hoes and shovels. With a salary of 120 yuan per person per day, Luo Cheng didn't need to bring out digging tools, as everyone else had them. Luo Cheng prepared a water pump. He just had to pump out the water from the pit in the shed first.

The water pump was left by Bullfrog Boss Chen, but it was not given to Luo Cheng, but given to him at a cheap price. Originally, my boss used it, and he also wanted to use it when he went to other places to breed. It cost more than 4,000 when I bought it and it has been used for three years, but I only use it a few times a year and the condition is still very good. It was sold for two thousand yuan.

When the puddle becomes a deeper pool, it actually doesn't cost a lot of money, and the people hired work hard and steadfastly. Of course, he couldn't compare with the rural people of Luo Cheng's time. He had strength, but not much. But then again, the average age of those who come to work is over sixty. In his time, most rural people did not live to reach sixty, so it was really hard to compare.

This pumping of water to dig holes also brought some small benefits to people. When the bullfrog boss fished the bullfrog away, he didn't fish it out very cleanly. Those who came to help dig the hole happily grabbed some remaining bullfrogs and took them away. Luo Cheng was not disappointed, saying that these bullfrogs were fed a lot of antibiotics when they were bred.

Hey, the social environment is like this. If you really have to study what you can't eat, there are too many things to be careful about these days. Everything is within the allowable range, but as some people say, this is also within the allowable range, and that is also within the allowable range. But if they are added together, whether it is still within the allowable range, there is no authoritative official or private statement.

Maybe some people are trying to explain things to everyone, but some people don’t want to explain it to everyone. For example, the boss who breeds bullfrogs can guarantee that what he feeds is within the legal range, but he doesn't want to hear that his own food and other things are within the legal range and whether it exceeds the limit.

　Recently, I feel like I am writing a novel after reading the comments. They say that I have lost my ID card and mobile phone, so I can only cope with it temporarily. The normal reaction of normal people is indeed to get a replacement immediately, even if it is temporary. But after checking the information, I couldn’t check it through formal methods for a long time. Is there any expert who can provide suggestions? It’s a good suggestion, I’ll write about the plot later on being cheated on. After all, novels can’t write too many dark things nowadays.
