Chapter 18 Chen Ming’s advice, the way of business (third more)

On the ridge, Chen Ming was walking side by side with Shen Xue, he looked up at the sky, turned to Shen Xue and said, “Xiao Xue, it’s almost three o’clock, let’s go back, we should be able to return to the army before dark!”

Shen Xue nodded, with a smile on her face, “Brother Ming, I’m very happy to play with you today!”

Chen Ming didn’t expect that Shen Xue, who was always shy, would take the initiative to express his feelings and said with a smile, “Then next time I have time, I’ll take you out!”

“okay!”

Afterwards, the two walked side by side toward the jeep parked on the ridge.

Just as he was about to get into the car, a shout came from behind.

“Comrade officer, please wait a moment!”

Chen Ming and Shen Xue looked back at the same time, and saw that the previous child Wang ran over with a girl.

The girl ran to Chen Ming with her hands on her knees, gasping for breath.

Chen Ming took a closer look at the girl.

The girl is thin, about 1.7 meters tall, on the high side.

In this era, women who are 1.6 meters tall are considered relatively tall, and 1.7 meters are even more incredible.

However, the girl is really too thin, and it is estimated that she does not even have eighty pounds.

Due to malnutrition, the ends of the girl’s hair were pale yellow, and it looked like she had dyed her hair.

The face is a natural melon seed face, and under the shallow moth eyebrows are a pair of very beautiful water hyacinths, even though the complexion is sallow, the overall look is still very beautiful.

Chen Ming looked at the girl and asked, “Is there anything you want to do with me?”

After the girl mixed her breaths, she said apologetically, “Comrade officer, I’m sorry to stop you, my name is Chu Xiaoxiao, I heard that you collect bugs, so I came here to ask if you still collect them in the future? I can supply you for a long time. , one penny or five cents is fine, the price is up to you!”

After speaking, she glanced at the epaulette on Chen Ming’s shoulder without a trace.

In the past, she heard the old people in the village who fought in the war say that the status of a soldier is just by looking at the stars on his shoulders.

A soldier without a star on his shoulder is a private.

The more stars, the higher the rank.

Chen Ming had two bars and three stars on his shoulders, and Chu Xiaoxiao muttered in his heart that the other party must have a great background.

At this time, Chen Ming looked at Chu Xiaoxiao in surprise, but did not expect that the other party would come to him to discuss business.

Compared to Shen Xue, who was quiet and shy, Chu Xiaoxiao had the usual boldness and cleverness of a country girl, and she dared to talk business with her, an officer.

What Chen Ming didn’t know was that Chu Xiaoxiao had been forced to mature prematurely since the death of his father.

A family without a man as the backbone is undoubtedly very difficult.

Chu Xiaoxiao could only try her best to make life at home better.

But there are only two ways to make money, one is to work in the county town to get wages, and the other is to do business.

In this day and age, girls are basically unable to find jobs in the city. Occasionally, there are jobs that require girls, and they also need a degree.

But she was forced to drop out of school in the fifth grade, and although she could read, no one wanted her.

The only way to go is to do business. With the gradual opening of the market in recent years, there are more and more small vendors in the county. Some people start business early and make a lot of money.

Chu Xiaoxiao also wanted to do business to make money to subsidize the family, but it is now 1988, and the small vendors’ business has begun to involute, and it is difficult to make money as easily as a few years ago.

Of course, some businesses are still easy to make money, such as raising pigs, chickens and ducks.

The breeding industry requires input costs, whether it is to buy piglets or chickens, it requires money.

Given Chu Xiaoxiao’s family situation, it is natural that he can’t come up with the money.

Some time ago, Chu Xiaoxiao heard that there were a lot of factories in Shencheng, Guangdong Province recruiting workers, and the girls also accepted them. She was a little excited, but she couldn’t even pay the toll, so she had to give up.

She was worrying about how to make money every day. Today, she suddenly heard that her brother said that she made eight yuan for helping people catch bugs. This was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt, which made Chu Xiaoxiao see a light in the darkness.

Things like worms can be found everywhere in the countryside. Even if the purchase price of a worm is only five cents, as long as you catch more, you can still make money, and there is no cost at all.

Therefore, in order to make money, even in the face of Chen Ming, a senior officer, she still mustered up the courage to speak her mind.

Chen Ming and Chu Xiaoxiao’s eyes met, looking at Chu Xiaoxiao’s firm and hopeful eyes, Chen Ming reluctantly said: “Today I will come to the countryside to collect bugs, but there is a temporary need, I don’t need long-term bugs supply!”

Hearing Chen Ming’s words, Chu Xiaoxiao’s face instantly paled, and then she forced a smile: “I’m confused, how could someone need a bug for a long time, Comrade officer, I’m sorry for wasting your time!”

After speaking, she turned around lonely and said to her brother, “Xiaolong, let’s go back!”

“etc!”

Chen Ming suddenly called to stop Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao turned around, “Comrade officer, is there anything else?”

“Although I don’t need a long-term supply of bugs, it doesn’t mean that other people don’t have this demand!” Chen Ming said: “Since you are short of money, you might as well try to take the caught bugs to the county town to sell!”

“Why would anyone buy bugs?” Chu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.

“It’s not for you to sell it live, but to simply handle it. Use bamboo skewers to make a string, smear it with pepper and minced garlic, roast it with fire, and sell it to others as a snack!” Chen Ming explained.

Chu Xiaoxiao blinked, “Comrade officer, do people really eat insects?”

“Yes, a lot of people love it!” Chen Ming smiled, “If you believe me, you can give it a try!”

After that, Chen Ming boarded the jeep and drove away with Shen Xue.

Chu Xiaoxiao stared at the jeep that was going away, stunned in place.

Although she didn’t believe that someone would eat the disgusting Bara bug, Chen Ming was a high-ranking military officer, could it be that he would lie to himself?

With the mentality of giving it a try, Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head and said to her younger brother, “Xiaolong, call your little friends to catch a few bags of bugs and come back!”

Chu Xiaolong asked, “Sister, will you give us money?”

Chu Xiaoxiao raised a face instantly, “I don’t have money, it’s voluntary labor, hurry up!”

“By the way, give me your eight dollars!”

Chu Xiaolong was a little reluctant, but under Chu Xiaoxiao’s stern gaze, he still handed over the money he had worked so hard to earn. *
