Chapter 192 Buying Fireworks
If I remember correctly, around [-] years ago, Qingshan County completely banned the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. Previously, it was prohibited in the county, but there were no requirements in the towns below.

At that time, during the Chinese New Year, various patrol cars ran up and down the streets, and the electric speakers announced the no-burning policy. The streets were quiet at night and no longer lively as in the past.

Although Li Chenyang moved to Greentown, he would come back to spend time with his parents every Chinese New Year, but the flavor of the New Year was much weaker than it is now.

Even the children don’t look forward to the Chinese New Year that much anymore.

What is the Spring Festival without firecrackers and fireworks?
"Dad, are there too few fireworks at our house?"

After pasting the couplets, the two prepared to go home.

"It's quite a lot. I bought more than 1000 yuan this year. It used to be this much."

More than 1000 firecrackers, including the New Year's Eve dinner, welcoming the New Year at [-]pm, and the Lantern Festival, some are even saved until the third day of the third lunar month.

These are the times when fireworks and firecrackers need to be set off. It seems that more than 1000 firecrackers have been purchased, but after allocating them like this, there are actually not many at each time...

"How about we buy some more?"

Li Chenyang asked.

"You still want to buy some."

Before the change, Comrade Lao Li definitely didn't want to waste money, but now he still respects his son's opinion.

"Our family bought a new shop this year, and I also bought a car. These are all things worth being happy about. We have to celebrate it anyway. Let's buy some fireworks and set them off at night. It's a new year and a new atmosphere. Others think we've gotten rich, but we're still a bit like before. The little guy is angry."

"I went out without money."

"Money is not a problem, I have cash with me."

"Then you'd better go buy it from your sister-in-law. She should have a lot left over."

When Li Guomin thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was also the case. Not to mention the changes in his son this year, even he made a lot more money.

Now that his son has spoken, it is easier for his wife to explain. The reason why Li Guomin did not buy too much was because he was afraid of being scolded by Tang Hong. After all, Tang Hong had said more than once that setting off fireworks during the New Year was a waste of money.

If it were according to Li Guomin's character, there would be some fireworks every year, and the man would still be a teenager until he died.

After making the decision, the two rode a battery car to the place where fireworks were sold.

Said she was sister-in-law.

In fact, the relationship is already very distant.

They can only be regarded as being from the same clan. Her husband and Li Chenyang are considered to be of the same generation, so they have to be called uncle to Li Guomin.

"Niece-in-law, have you had your New Year's dinner?"

Li Guomin walked into the store.

There is no one in the store at this time, only the old lady is guarding it.

Business people are very smart. When they saw the two coming, they immediately said with a smile: "Where are you going to eat? The man from home will come to pick me up in a while. I heard that you are also planning to open a shop on the street?"

"Well, if I don't go out next year, I plan to open a shop in my hometown and just make do with it." Li Guinke pretended.

"Uncle, you are so good at your craftsmanship. You will never be short of food no matter where you are. Now you are still doing business. Your family is getting better and better."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just okay."

"You're here now. Are there not enough firecrackers?"

"Are there any fireworks? I plan to have a few."

"Yes, yes, there are quite a few left. See which one you like, and I'll give you a discount..."

……

When acquaintances come to buy things, there will be no traps, but the discounts are also limited. Li Chenyang looked in front of a pile of fireworks and chose the two largest ones.

"It has to be my brother, he has such a good eye. These two are the most beautiful of all the fireworks here."

When she saw that Li Chenyang chose the expensive one, her sister-in-law was very happy.

Li Guomin took a look and asked, "How much is it?"

"I sold each for three hundred, so I'll give you two hundred and eighty."

Three hundred a piece is about the same price. After all, the ones Li Chenyang bought were relatively good, and they were much larger than ordinary fireworks.

"Sister-in-law, if it's a little less, I'll get a few more."

"How many do you want?" "Ten."

Upon hearing this, my sister-in-law said with a smile on her face: "It can be less, maybe two hundred and sixty. This is the lowest. It is already close to my wholesale price. If it is less, I will lose money."

Li Chenyang didn't believe her lies, but for one person to be twenty less, it was considered sincere. If someone else had come to buy it, they might not have paid the same price.

He waved his hand and said, "That's it, five of each kind, for a total of ten."

As he spoke, he took out his wallet.

He took out a thick wad of banknotes from inside.

"Is there anything bigger than this?"

Before paying, Li Chenyang asked again.

"Uncle, your family has really gotten rich this year, buying so many fireworks."

The sister-in-law complimented Li Guomin and then said: "There is more, but there is only one. It is the treasure of my store. Just wait a moment and I will take it out."

As she spoke, she turned and walked into the nearby warehouse.

Li Guomin looked at the many fireworks and asked, "Is it too much?"

"It's not that much money short."

Li Chenyang smiled.

Li Guomin shook his head and said, "Like a nouveau riche."

The treasure of the store was quickly taken out. It must be said that this sister-in-law is still very strong. An adult man may not be able to carry such a big box.

"These are colorful fireworks produced in Liuyang. They are definitely the best fireworks in our store. Not to mention Zhushan Town, even if you go to the county, you may not be able to buy them. This year, I purchased three in total and have already sold them. Both of them were bought by the big boss, and this one is left.”

"How much does this cost?" Li Guomin asked. He was also surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a big firework.

"I'll sell this for one thousand and two hundred. Today is New Year's Eve. I'll give it to you for nine hundred."

"You didn't let it go for too long."

"Don't worry, it's definitely this year's new product. If it doesn't look good, come to me and I'll refund your money. We are all family members and we will never cheat you."

My sister-in-law made a firm promise and said, "These fireworks will definitely be set off at night. Your house will definitely be the brightest in the entire Zhushan Town."

Li Chenyang took a look at it. The production date was not long ago, and it was also produced in Liuyang. It was a bit more expensive, but it didn't matter because it looked so good.

He said: "Then let's get it together. How much is the total?"

"Three thousand five."

"Just right, just count."

After paying [-] yuan, Li Chenyang ordered eleven fireworks.

"Li Tai will come over in a moment, and I'll ask them to send it to you."

"Row."

Without asking for any orders, the two of them rode back.

“It takes so long to post a couplet!”

Tang Hong was still busy in the kitchen. When she heard that they were back, she came out and took a look... Here in Zhushan Town, the New Year's dinner is not necessarily at night, and quite a few are eaten at noon, but it is still in the evening at their house, and the firecrackers are also Fire before eating.

"My dad and I went to buy some fireworks to set off at night."

Li Chenyang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hong said: "Yes, it's time to buy more fireworks this year."

Li Guomin was a little surprised: "Honey, why have you changed your temper? I wanted to buy some fireworks before, but you were unwilling."

"Can it be the same? In the past, our family had a lot of places to spend money, so we had to save some money. Now Xiaoyang has made so much money, and you have also made a lot this year. After the New Year, we have to open a store and do business again. This year It must be prosperous no matter what.”

"Then your wish has come true. Xiaoyang bought a lot."

"I bought a lot more, where are they?"

"It will be delivered in a moment..."
