1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Oh my god, I won't drink with you anymore. This guy, his head is still buzzing."

The next morning, Jiang Chaoyang got up from the kang and said with a wry smile.

"It's nothing, we drank good wine, it won't bother us." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"By the way, I still have to help you cut mushrooms, right?" Li Yinglin asked after getting up.

"It's all done. It's actually very easy to cut. Yingzi and I finished it in less than an hour." Chen Tiezhu said.

"What kind of thing is this? The more you cut, the more experience you get. When the next batch grows, it will be easier to cut. There's nothing else for breakfast. Just heat up the leftovers from yesterday and add salted duck eggs."

"Just eat some leftovers and pickles. Save the salted duck eggs for Doudou." Jiang Chaoyang said.

"Whenever you get up in the morning and are too busy to take care of everything, Doudou can have a dish. We adults don't need to care about that, just fill our stomachs."

"You have to eat it when you should. Salted duck eggs will become a regular dish in my family in the future." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Tiezhu, then you said that after the New Year, I will apply to Director Hu? It means that the brothers in my institute have to give up for a while." Li Yinglin said dejectedly.

"What the hell? This should be a happy thing, but you are treated like a execution ground." Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes at him.

"That's right, what's the matter? Do you look down on our comrades working in the county?" Jiang Chaoyang also helped.

"They are all bad people."

Li Yinglin sighed.

But no one takes him seriously. When you are supposed to be ordered, you can't be lazy.

After eating a delicious breakfast, the ingredients at home were taken out in advance, and then Chen Tiezhu and others rushed to the county.

There is no 30th this year, and the 29th is New Year's Eve, so there are really a lot of people at the farmer's market.

If you are short of something, you have to take this opportunity to make up for it.

"Let me help you move in, there are too many people here." Jiang Chaoyang asked.

"That's right, just find an empty space, I'll go to the management office to handle the procedures, and then find someone to help me weigh it." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Only you dare to sell it like this, and you have to ask others to help you sell vegetables." Jiang Chaoyang said helplessly.

Chen Tiezhu grinned and walked in leisurely.

When he came to the management office, he saw San'er putting sticky buns on the stove.

"Why do you want to eat this? You have to eat something delicious today." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Oh, you are here. Are you still selling mushrooms today?" San'er asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, they're selling mushrooms. If you don't have anything to do, give me a favor and help me weigh the mushrooms." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Well, let's go over there."

San'er didn't dare to say anything else.

"Tiezhu, hurry up. As soon as they saw that they were selling mushrooms, they surrounded me. Everyone go find him, not me. I'll just help move them."

Seeing Chen Tiezhu strolling back, Jiang Chaoyang in the crowd shouted.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

Chen Tiezhu jumped directly onto the stage.

"There are quite a lot of mushrooms today. It's estimated to be more than 400 kilograms. So everyone must have a share. Let's take it slowly." After everyone looked over, Chen Tiezhu spoke.

"It's New Year's Eve, even though it's not night yet. It's New Year's Eve, so we have to make everyone happy. Today these mushrooms are very good, but we're selling them at a special price of 50 cents a pound."

"Young man, wasn't it 70 cents last time? Why is it cheaper?" an old lady asked in confusion.

"It's New Year's Eve, sell out early and go home early. What's the key? It's easy to settle accounts." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"I dare not say that I want to give back to the folks in the county. This is only my second time to sell mushrooms in the farmer's market today. But I also want more people in the county to taste what the mushrooms I grow are like."

"So, there is no question of whether it makes money or not. 50 cents a pound, and each person is limited to two pounds. Even if you are rich, you should leave some for others. Is that okay?"

"This young man is really practical."

"Yes, it would be great if everyone could do business like this."

"This mushroom, I bought some last time, and it was really delicious when I ate it."

"It tastes good when fried. Last time I bought one dollar, and after frying it, my eldest grandson ate it all."

...

The customers below started to discuss.

"Okay, let's start selling now."

Chen Tiezhu waved his hand.

"Dad, there's no need for Doudou to call you." Doudou next to him frowned and said.

"Hahaha, can't we go home early? I have to make something delicious for you."Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Doudou's little trouble also amused these customers.

He started selling directly here, but San'er, who was responsible for weighing, was very busy.

Who would have thought that one day, he would have to do such a job?

This is because Chen Tiezhu maintained order in advance, and because he reduced the price today and limited the quantity, all the purchases were one yuan, so it was more convenient to weigh.

"This kid is so hardworking. It seems that this mushroom is really good."

Chen Tiezhu was busy here, and Gao Xiaoguang, who came to the farmer's market at some point, said with a smile.

"Leader, but I don't understand it. Is he really selling so cheap just to go home early?" Xiao Liu asked in confusion.

"I don't understand it either. Anyway, according to this kid's mind, it will definitely not be so simple." Gao Xiaoguang shook his head.

"If he wants to go home early, he will definitely not bring so many mushrooms. According to his personality, he just distributed it in the village, since he was not short of money anyway. "

Xiao Liu scratched his head. This action was actually a bit inappropriate, after all, he was following the leader.

But now he really couldn't understand why Chen Tiezhu did such a thing.

It should be said that under the dual blessing of price reduction and limited quantity, the mushrooms sold very quickly. One basket after another was sold without stopping.

In the end, even the broken mushrooms that fell into the basket were bought by people.

It is conceivable how popular these fresh mushrooms are.

"Hey? Uncle Gao, when did you come here?"

Chen Tiezhu was packing the basket, and Doudou shouted happily.

"Yoho, when did you come? I was busy selling mushrooms just now. "Chen Tiezhu greeted cheerfully.

San'er beside him felt that his legs were a little far away, and he also recognized Gao Xiaoguang. Who would have thought that this gentleman would talk so unreasonably with the county leaders.

"Don't worry about when I came, just tell me why mushrooms are so cheap." Gao Xiaoguang asked with a smile after picking up Doudou.

"Yes, Brother Tiezhu, I have racked my brains, but I still can't figure it out." Xiao Liu also helped.
