rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 39: Encountering Trouble Before Defeat

"Damn, I miscalculated this time!"

"Almost failed to win.!"

Chen Li squatted at the door of the county bus station, slandering himself in his mind.

Chen Li was obviously extremely disappointed in himself when he slandered himself.

After all, he never expected that after he had set up the barbecue grill, contacted the charcoal, and asked the eldest sister of the group to help him contact the supply of pork belly and vegetables, he almost ended up falling for the barbecue sign.

As a small county in the hinterland of Sichuan Province, almost every town in the county has a large number of bamboo forests and even bamboo mountains. The entire Huilong County has at least six or seven small workshops related to bamboo.

But Chen Li couldn't find bamboo skewers that could be used for barbecue here!

I'm going to beat your lungs out!

Chen Li was confused at that time. He knew that Huilong County was one of the production areas of barbecue bamboo skewers.

But in the summer of 1997, Chen Li visited wholesale markets and shopping malls throughout the county, but none sold large bamboo skewers that could be used for barbecues.

Later, Chen Li even dialed 114 to inquire about a small factory in Huilong County. When he called, he found that the company made chopsticks and toothpicks and did not have the kind of bamboo skewers Chen Li mentioned.

I'm going to beat your ass~! Chen Li was so stupid at that time!

This thing is like Chen Li taking off his pants, but you take a photo of him wearing a down jacket and show him that feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it is!

Although it was uncomfortable, Chen Li was not discouraged at the time because he knew that although he could not find a place selling bamboo sticks, there must be bamboo sticks in Huilong County.

Because there is a barbecue stall in Huilong County!

Although it is a teppanyaki type of barbecue, the ingredients are indeed skewered on bamboo skewers.

So on the first night when Chen Li arrived in Huilong County, he took Li Yuan and ran out to find a barbecue stall.

These days, even in the county town, there isn’t much nightlife.

Fortunately, there is a cultural square in the county. At night, there are always people coming here for a walk or taking their children to play, and some couples will also have appointments here.

Because of this, many small vendors gather in the cultural square at night.

There are people selling balloons, braised vegetables, cold noodles, tofu curd, and teppanyaki.

That night, Chen Li and Li Yuan spent twenty-one on barbecue. Finally, relying on Chen Li's shameless eloquence that he had practiced in nightclubs, he finally learned from the vendor that the other party's bamboo sticks were from

Bought from the city.

At that time, Chen Li was confused again because he found that his twenty-one dollars had been wasted!

The reason is also very simple. After he couldn't find a place with bamboo sticks during the day, he was thinking about finding a teppanyaki seller at night to ask him where he bought it. He completely forgot that there was one in Huilong County. But there must be one in Nancheng City.

selling.

It is true that barbecue is not very popular in small counties these days, especially in poor counties like Huilong County. People have little money in their pockets, so naturally few people are willing to spend.

In other words, in the past two years, the county's economy has improved somewhat, and the situation has improved.

But Nancheng City is different. As an important part of Sichuan Province, barbecue has long been popular in the city.

Not only does it have Teppanyaki BBQ, but it also has authentic grilled skewers and fried skewers.

Therefore, the wholesale market in the city must sell bamboo skewers for barbecue.

But the distance between Huilong County and Nancheng City is close to 5 hours. Not to mention that the fare is not cheap. This girl will be short of funds if she goes to the city to buy bamboo sticks.

A barbecue grill actually didn't cost much, but Chen Li bought a barrel of oil and some other condiments, plus the ingredients needed for barbecue. In fact, there was not much money left for Chen Li to "use".

Originally! Chen Li thought that bamboo sticks would definitely be easy to buy, so he would just buy them in packages of two or more, so that he would not waste a lot of money.

But now this plan has changed. We have to change our approach.

It is definitely unrealistic to go to the market to buy by yourself, because if you buy it by yourself, you will definitely need to buy a lot, which will squeeze Chen Li's capital.

So, in the end, Chen Li had no choice but to make a phone call to his father.

He couldn't help it. But Lao Chen definitely could!

Even though Comrade Chen is just a small employee in a depressed state-owned enterprise now, when he was in the army, he was very powerful.

Although he was not offered to stay in the army, Comrade Chen, as the squad leader, still knew many comrades.

After Lao Chen's comrades returned to their places, almost all of them entered the local government, state-owned enterprises and other departments. Some are not doing well at present, but some are now doing well.

Of course, it's just a bamboo stick, and I won't ask my father to find any connections.

Chen Li made an excuse, saying that he was using the house at his group sister's house, and the other party confiscated his rent. He felt a little embarrassed, so he wanted to do the other party a favor.

This favor is to help the other party solve the problem of barbecue bamboo skewers.

Lao Chen has always been a meticulous and self-disciplined person throughout his life.

If Lao Chen is asked to trouble others for no reason, Comrade Lao Chen may still refuse.

But when I heard that someone helped their son first, it meant that the Chen family owed the other party a favor.

So Lao Chen made two "bang bang" calls, and then told Chen Li to come to the bus station at noon today and wait to pick up the goods.

Hence the scene where Chen Li is squatting on the street in front of the bus station!

But he was not the only one squatting on the street. Chen Li would naturally drag Li Yuan over such a boring thing.

"Depend on!"

"grass~!"

A minibus drove over, and a puff of black smoke came out of the rear of the bus, causing two young men squatting next to the curb to curse.

"This broken car should go into the recycling bin! Hey, this seems to be the one in Erlong Town!"

Li Yuan complained at first, and then discovered that this minibus was the same minibus that traveled to the county seat in Erlong Town.

This minibus is the only minibus in Erlong Town. It runs on the route from Erlong Town to the county seat. Chen Li and Li Yuan took this bus yesterday.

"That's right. It's not the one we were waiting for anyway!"

Chen Li didn't even bother to look at it, because the buses running on this line in Huilong County were buses, so naturally Chen Li didn't bother to care about the minibuses.

"Eh~!"

"Riko. Liu Qingqing!"

"Do you think that's Liu Qingqing?"

"Hey Liu Qingqing~!"

Suddenly, Li Yuan seemed to have discovered a new world. Without even waiting for Chen Li's reply, he waved directly to the minibus and even shouted.

At this moment, Chen Li regretted bringing this sand sculpture here, but there should be a lot of bamboo sticks in a while, and he couldn't move it away alone.!

"Chen Li. Li Yuan, why are you two here?"

"Do you know that I am going back to the county? Are you waiting for me here for something?"

As soon as she got off the car, Liu Qingqing saw Li Yuan waving hello to her, so Liu Qingqing subconsciously thought that these two guys were waiting for her here.

"Don't think too much about me."

"Riko and I came to the county town to do business, selling barbecue. We are waiting here for the city's car to deliver the goods."

Chen Li started with one sentence. Then Li Yuan poured beans into the sky like beans from a bamboo tube.

"I'm sorry!"

Chen Li was speechless and took two steps to the side, trying to pretend that he didn't know this guy.

"Doing business? Selling barbecue? Really?"

"Where are you setting up your stall?"

"Over there on Labor Street, there is a group sister over there."

Chen Li was too lazy to talk, but Li Yuan and Liu Qingqing actually started chatting.

But this is normal. After all, the classmates from Erlong Town met at the bus station in this county. It would be abnormal not to chat for a few words.

It's just that Li Yuan has a big mouth and talks about everything. Chen Li doesn't even bother to stop him.

Why are you trying to stop me? As soon as I met this guy, he explained his purpose of coming to the county seat and why he was here now in just three sentences.

Based on the level of this guy's three sentences just now, Chen Li doubted why this guy only scored 59 points in Chinese!

But at this moment, a bus drove towards the entrance of the bus station, and Chen Li recognized it at a glance as a bus on the Nancheng Paohui Long route.

"Wanzi, stop talking, the car is here, come and move the goods!"
