rebirth of cataclysm

For the next period of time, Wang Huixue would go out with Hu Mingchen to sell toys every day.

At first, both Hu Mingchen and Wang Zhan felt that as long as Wang Huixue went with Hu Mingchen once to experience it, she would not be interested in this hard work. Who knows, after one time, this girl seemed to be addicted.

The most difficult thing about this is Hu Mingchen. Taking her there is not a matter of not taking her.

To be honest, if Hu Mingchen goes out to do things alone, his efficiency will be greatly improved. If he brings Wang Huixue with him, he has to accommodate her in everything, which will invisibly reduce the efficiency.

But if Wang Huixue is not taken with her, she will pester her and make her very annoying.

Without a move, Hu Mingchen could only make an agreement with Wang Huixue that she could only go out once every three days, and this time she, Wang Huixue, had to complete the tasks of more than five stores independently.

Even with such restrictions and compressions, Wang Huixue's enthusiasm is still very high.

Fortunately, Liangcheng is not a big city, with only 4 to 50 million people in the urban area. Even if Wang Zhan's goods are basically fully covered, it only requires one or two hundred stores. This task volume is compared to Hu Mingchen's.

That said, it's not particularly big.

It took almost a month, that is, when Xiao Yumei and Wang Hui returned from their hometown, Hu Mingchen completed the sales promotion entrusted by Wang Zhan.

"Xiao Hu, you've finished your work, but you can play at our house for a few more days before going back. Anyway, it's a holiday now, so you don't have to go to school. Some time ago, there were some things at home, and I was delayed for a while. How about you play more?

God, Aunt Xiao will prepare delicious food for you."

Xiao Yumei looks like a kind person, with short hair, an oval face, and always has a smile on her face when she talks.

Hearing that Hu Mingchen had finished his work and planned to go back to Duge tomorrow, Xiao Yumei wanted to persuade him to stay longer.

As soon as Xiao Yumei came back, Wang Zhan did not say anything about Hu Mingchen to her. Instead, Wang Huixue, as soon as she saw Xiao Yumei, praised Hu Mingchen in front of her, saying at least two out of three sentences without leaving him.

"Aunt Xiao, it's been almost a month since I left home. Although I don't have to go to school during the summer vacation, there is always something to do in the countryside. I'd better go back early and maybe I can help the family. Anyway, we already know each other and we will deal with it in the future.

There are still many opportunities, and Aunt Xiao will definitely not kick me out when I come to visit her." Hu Mingchen joked with a smile.

"Wang Hui, look, you are still two years older than Mingchen. He is thinking about how to help the family with things, but all you think about all day long is playing." Wang Zhan, who was sitting aside, rushed to his son next to him.

Wang Huidao.

"It's not that I don't do it, it's that there is nothing for me to do at home, and my mother does all the housework. Should I also do sales?" Wang Hui, who is fat, said disapprovingly.

"Brother, you can also work as a salesperson. I can do it. How about the two of us work for dad on weekends? Dad, how about you give us some wages?" Wang Huixue said simply.

"Hahaha, you are helping dad, why do you need money? Didn't dad earn money for you to study, buy clothes, and buy stationery?" Xiao Yumei lovingly touched Wang Huixue's little head and smiled.

"One code equals one code. He earns money for us to study, buy clothes and stationery. That's because he is a father. This is his responsibility. But if I do a job for him, he has to pay me wages. This is an obligation.

, Brother Mingchen said so." Wang Huixue tilted her head and said seriously.

"I don't want to be paid and I won't do anything." Wang Hui had no interest in getting involved, so she stated her position clearly and neatly.

"If brother doesn't do it, I'll be alone...forget it, then I won't do it either. I'll wait for brother Mingchen to come when he's free and then I'll follow him." Wang Huixue hesitated and said.

"Hehehe, this kid... Mingchen, I almost forgot, this is your salary, come on, take it." When Wang Huixue mentioned wages, she reminded Wang Zhan that he hadn't paid Hu Mingchen's wages yet.

Woolen cloth.

What Wang Zhan gave to Hu Mingchen was not direct RMB, but an envelope.

Hu Mingchen was not pretentious. He deserved the salary and had agreed upon it before. Therefore, he did not make any false excuses and took it as soon as he reached out. However, Hu Mingchen did not open the envelope to count and check whether the amount was correct.

, but fold it directly and put it into your pocket.

Hu Mingchen believed that Wang Zhan would never do something like giving him less. Since he believed that, then why would he do something like that for a small family?

"Brother Mingchen, when will you come back tomorrow?" Hu Mingchen was about to leave, and the one he was most reluctant to leave was Wang Huixue.

From hating and looking down on Hu Mingchen at the beginning, to getting close to him and even admiring him later, Wang Huixue's change in attitude towards Hu Mingchen happened naturally.

Wang Huixue was not only positive about Hu Mingchen's sales skills, she also admired Hu Mingchen's learning.

During the day, Hu Mingchen had to work, but at night he was in a study state. Hu Mingchen would read the books that Wang Hui had studied or their extracurricular books at night.

At first Wang Huixue felt that Hu Mingchen was just pretending, but when she learned that Hu Mingchen was the top grader in their school, and that Wang Huixue had given him summer homework to test him, and that Hu Mingchen could handle the test with ease, Wang Huixue had a psychological reaction to Hu Mingchen.

An eighty-degree turn.

A student from a rural school was inferior to her, a student from a good primary school in the city. This first made Wang Huixue's last bit of pride disappear with Hu Mingchen.

In a word, no matter what the competition is, Hu Mingchen is better than her and better than her. At this time, little girls are most likely to have a sense of admiration, so Hu Mingchen became the existence that Wang Huixue needed to look up to.

"I will come see you when I have time, don't worry."

"You have to remember to come. No scalpers are allowed."

"Haha, I promise not to scalp scalpers."

...

"A few days ago, you called back and said that my uncle's family had a quarrel with someone else's family. What was going on?"

After dinner, Wang Hui went to play with his classmates. Hu Mingchen and Wang Huixue watched TV in front of the TV, while Wang Zhan and Xiao Yumei sat next to them and talked about the situation Xiao Yumei encountered when she returned to her hometown.

"What else could it be about, other than the matter of harvesting ginger?" Xiao Yumei also felt aggrieved when this matter was mentioned.

"What's wrong with harvesting ginger? My uncle has been doing that for several years, and I heard that he and the ginger farmers have agreed on purchase conditions in advance. Why are there still quarrels?" Wang Zhan felt as soon as he heard this.

It's strange, this has never happened before.

"It's just because of the price. People these days are very greedy for money. They made an appointment before, but they may not accept the money. I don't know what happened this year. The production of ginger there has been greatly reduced, and the price has dropped.

It keeps rising. The price that was negotiated before was rejected by the seller. They felt that the price given by the uncle was too low, so they asked for a price increase. However, the uncle thought that he paid a deposit and wrote a note, so there was no increase.

It’s about the price, so there’s a quarrel.” Xiao Yumei explained.

Hu Mingchen was originally focused on watching TV, but when he heard that Xiao Yumei and Wang Zhan were talking about the acquisition of ginger, Hu Mingchen's attention was naturally attracted by the conversation between the couple. His ears stood up and he looked seriously.

Listen to what they talk about.

Because in Duge Township, there are also many farmers who can grow ginger, and when new ginger comes on the market, some small businessmen from the city will go to Duge Township to buy it. There are two types of ginger they buy, one is fresh ginger from

The other type of fresh ginger dug from the ground is washed and roasted dried ginger. However, considering the quantity and the level of trouble, most people sell fresh ginger. Unless the quantity is large, it will be made into dried ginger.

Sell.

"The price must have risen sharply. Otherwise, most people would not do such a thing. People who grow ginger should also hope that a stable buyer will come to their door. At least their worries will be solved." Wang Zhan is a businessman.

, he analyzed from the perspective of interests.

"Of course the price has increased significantly. In more than half a month, the new ginger will start to be dug. In previous years, at this time, the price would be 5 cents per catty, and the good ones would be 10 cents per catty at most. But the current market price is

, no one sold it for five cents. My uncle and I agreed before that we would charge six cents if we came to the door, and eight cents if we didn’t come. I think this price is fair. But now, some people are offering eight cents if they come to the door, and eight cents if they don’t come.

One cent and two cents. You see, the price difference is fifty percent." Xiao Yumei said.

"Then it's no wonder that people are tempted. The price difference is indeed a bit big, and... at this market price, I'm afraid today's price will hit a new high. I'm afraid dried ginger will still cost around one yuan a pound like in previous years. I guess

It won’t work anymore.” Wang Zhan said.

The topic Wang Zhan and Xiao Yumei talked about deeply stimulated Hu Mingchen.

It is normal for the prices of agricultural products to fluctuate. However, Wang Zhan and Xiao Yumei evoked a very deep memory in Hu Mingchen's mind.

In Hu Mingchen’s impression, the ginger in 1997 was very different from the previous and subsequent years. Before 1997, dried ginger often cost about seventy-eight cents to one yuan. In the years after 1997,

, it only sold for two or three yuan at most, but this year, the price of dried ginger experienced an extremely unusual surge, reaching eight yuan per catty.

Before his rebirth, Hu Mingchen's family could dig three to four hundred kilograms of ginger. In 1997, as soon as his ginger was dug out, someone came to collect it. If the price was suitable, Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun sold it without hesitation.

Later, the price rose all the way to almost 20 cents, and they regretted it very much.

A month after the ginger digging season, the price of dried ginger soared to eight yuan a pound, and Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun were even more disappointed.

They often say that if we had known that the price would rise like that that year, our family would have simply bought fresh ginger, baked it and sold it as dried ginger, and it would have been profitable within a year.

The price of ginger in 1997 was so unusual that old people are still talking about it many years later.
