rebirth of cataclysm

"You have been thinking about protecting him all day long. He wanted to run Jiang's business when he was young. Is it so easy to do it? His money is better used now to pay off debts than to let him use it to lose money."

Jiang Yucai sat on a bench at the door unconvinced and said with her back to Hu Jianjun.

"I have been protecting him all day long. When I wanted to beat him, who would usually protect me and not let me move, but now I am protecting him. I also know that Jiang's business is not easy to do, but if he wants to do it, what can he do?

Are you just going to stare at it? That guy, let me tell you, if you beat him to death, he won’t even give you the money." Behind him, Hu Jianjun lit up the leaf cigarette again and took two puffs.

"Hmph, do you really believe that he left it to others? Who around here would give him thousands of dollars for a doll? I don't believe he can keep it."

"Then even if you use all his money and repay him, what will happen after that? Even if you take all his money, it won't be enough to repay him. What will you do next? If you don't let the baby live a good life, this is not what he wants.

That’s our problem. Xiaochen will be ten years old next month. A ten-year-old

The child who is only 2 years old earns money to support his family, and there is no second family around here. He doesn’t owe us anything, and he doesn’t owe you any money. Let’s understand. You are always worried that he will lose money, but what if he doesn’t lose money, but

Did you make money? Why don't you think about this problem?" Hu Jianjun said.

"If you want a baby to earn money to support the family, it only shows that you, a grown man, have no ability. I am a mother-in-law, so it is my responsibility to support the family? Humph, I am just afraid that he will lose money. If he can make money, of course it will be great.

, but who can guarantee that they will make money?" Jiang Yucai stood up, pointed at Hu Jianjun and said noisily.

"Yes, I don't have the ability, so what are you still doing here? You have the ability. If you have the ability, don't take Xiaochen's money. I'm too lazy to tell you what to do. It's up to you.

." Hu Jianjun countered.

"He is my son, and it is only natural that I take his money."

"It's only natural. Your son is only ten years old. It's natural for you to take his money. So, is it natural for you to help him? Is it only natural that you have to succeed but fail and fail?" Hu Jianjun still couldn't bear to say it.

live.

The two of them had been arguing back and forth like this for more than half an hour. The two of them had no energy to argue, so they just sat on their own sides.

After more than two hours, Hu Mingchen estimated that the two elders were about the same, and then went home with Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao Shanshan.

"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?" Seeing Hu Mingchen showing his head at the entrance of the yard, Jiang Yucai glared at him and said angrily.

"Hey, this is my home. You and my father are both here. Where can I go? Am I the kind of son who leaves my mother alone? No way. I still have to make money and serve you two elders." Hu Mingchen

He said with a shy and honest smile.

Hu Mingchen's words hit the softest part of Jiang Yucai's heart.

No matter how much anger or dissatisfaction there is, Hu Mingchen's words of conscience and filial piety can make them disappear.

"Hey, at such a young age, you just want to make money to serve us. We are not old yet." Jiang Yucai was so amused by Hu Mingchen that she couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course my mom is not old yet, she is still young. She is as beautiful as a flower. Hahaha, sister, go and cook. After dinner, we can discuss what to do." Seeing Jiang Yucai smile, Hu Mingchen said

When the disputes of the past fade away.

Regarding Hu Mingchen's arbitrary decision, Jiang Yucai didn't say anything and regarded it as acquiescence.

After having a quarrel with Hu Jianjun, Jiang Yucai was sitting at the door, thinking about what Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianjun said.

Jiang Yucai is uneducated and has a stubborn side to her personality, but this does not mean that she does not have analytical skills.

When a person is angry, he can lose his mind, but when he calms down after being angry, most people will still reflect on it or think about it from their perspective.

To a certain extent, Jiang Yucai recognized what Hu Mingchen said.

Even if Hu Mingchen spends all that money, how long can it be used at this price? Let alone using it, it will not be enough to pay off the debt. In this case, why not let him give it a try?

In any case, Hu Mingchen has given more than one thousand to his family. To say the least, even if he loses money, it won't matter. At least Hu Mingchen still made a profit on the whole. When he started his business, he was only forty.

Just a dollar.

Jiang Yucai did not include the thirty-six yuan that Hu Mingchen extorted to prevent the Luo family from worshiping the sacred tree. After all, the money did not come from the family.

Of course, Jiang Yucai is still worried, and is still afraid that Hu Mingchen will lose money if he doesn't grasp it well.

In fact, the family is extremely poor now. Any small setback will make the family fall to the bottom and make it difficult to get up.

So, instead of letting him find others, who will not try their best to help him, it is better to help him at home, or to gamble together. At the critical moment, it is not possible to pull him or remind him.

, then we took over the initiative.

In the final analysis, although Hu Mingchen made so much money selling cards, it was still difficult for him to make his family trust his ability and judgment. All this was due to his too young age.

Making money by selling cards is attributed to luck to a certain extent. But in the ginger business, you can no longer rely on luck.

After eating the simple meal prepared by Hu Yandie, the family sat together again.

This time it’s not about debating whether to do it or not, but about arranging how to do it.

"Xiaochen, since you want to buy ginger, how much do you plan to charge? At what price?" Hu Jianjun lit his pipe and asked Hu Mingchen.

"Dad, how was the price of ginger here last year?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Last year... last year the price was not good. Our ginger only sold for nine cents per catty. Like your wife and others in Wenshan Village, because ginger has a little more moisture, it only sold for

Seven points." Hu Jianjun recalled.

"The price is so low!" Hu Mingchen said in surprise.

This price was really beyond Hu Mingchen's expectation. In his impression, the price of ginger in Duge Township should be around 15 cents.

"What do you think, that's why we opposed you in the afternoon? Last year, those who collected ginger were dragged out, and they only paid this price. So last year, I didn't hear anyone making money from the ginger harvest. The one who could maintain capital was Amitabha.

"We sold it early, but later sold it later, and we were selling it for five to four cents," Jiang Yucai said.

"The price of ginger fluctuates greatly, and sometimes it varies one or two times from year to year, so ordinary people can't do this business at all, and they will lose money if they are not careful." Hu Jianjun added.

"The risk is high, but once you seize the opportunity, the profit is also great. Dad, how much did you sell for dried ginger last year?" Hu Mingchen continued to ask.

"Last year, the biggest loss was made by those who made dried ginger. At first, they could still sell one piece, but then the prices dropped from eight to six and five cents. I heard that in the Wang family on the street, no one wanted even three cents for the price.

Everyone who makes dried ginger suffers from the cost of washing, roasting and transporting ginger. I don’t know what’s going on outside, but last year’s dried ginger just couldn’t be sold at a high price. What? You want to harvest the ginger and roast it into dried ginger?

Come to sell?”

"Yes, that's what I think. Last year's price was too low, so some people probably wouldn't grow it. So this year's price, I guess, will rise a lot. So, you can definitely make money by making ginger this year. I think ginger will be sold soon.

It's about to go on the market. Dad, you and my mother think about it and help me go to various villages to collect ginger. You may not be able to carry it, so let them deliver it to our house. If you deliver it, you can add one pound to each pound.

Divide the money." Hu Mingchen said.

"If you can't carry it, why can't you carry it? Your father and I have no problem carrying hundreds of kilograms alone. One kilogram plus one point, and one hundred kilograms is one yuan. Will you settle the score?" Hu Mingchen asked for a price increase.

Jiang Yucai has an opinion on this point.

"Mom, I'm afraid that you'll be tired, and I'm even more afraid that you won't be able to carry so much by then."

"How much do you plan to charge?" Hu Jianjun was curious after hearing Hu Mingchen say that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to carry that much.

"We will charge you as much as you can. If we go by last year's price, we would have to have 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms. Think about it, how can you carry so much? If we carry it from Wenshan Village or Jiangjiazhai, do you think you can carry it here?"

How many trips can I make in a day? So, as long as people are willing to carry it, I don’t mind paying more. I’m good to you, everyone is good.”

"So much, twenty to thirty thousand catties." The amount Hu Mingchen said shocked Jiang Yucai.

This is not to say that the surrounding areas cannot harvest such a quantity. Almost every household in Duge Township grows some ginger. Let alone twenty or thirty thousand catties. The annual output is more than ten or two hundred thousand catties. There is no problem. The key is,

Jiang Yucai thought Hu Mingchen was just making a small fuss, but she didn't expect that he would become a big player this time.

"It's not much. If I have enough money, I'll charge whatever it is. The key is that I don't have enough money. Dad, don't you know how to build a baking oven? You still have to build two baking ovens in our courtyard.

A furnace will do, we can bake it while we are collecting it." Hu Mingchen felt helpless when he thought of his small capital.

"It's not difficult to build a baking oven, but two ovens will burn a lot of coal a day. I haven't dug coal yet, so you can't carry much at one time. You want to roast so much ginger, and coal is

It’s a big problem.” Hu Jianjun said worriedly.

"Dad, then hire someone to dig and carry the coal. And you can do it right away. Otherwise, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late. How much does it cost to dig out coal from the coal mine and carry it to our house?" Regarding these questions,

Hu Mingchen is not particularly clear about the market conditions.

"It's almost two yuan. Coal is free. It's a little difficult to dig, but it's not that big. The key is the effort of carrying it back." Hu Jianjun said based on his feeling.

The reason why I say it's based on feeling is because people generally don't hire people to carry coal around here. Every household that burns coal has to carry it themselves, and one household can't burn much. It's enough for a family to make a few trips. Everyone

If you don’t have much money, why would you spend money to hire someone?

Those who live on the street will spend money to buy coal. After all, the township government is on the street. The government does not allow small coal mines to be dug casually. Carrying coal on the street is too conspicuous, and you may be fined. So the people on the street

I would spend some money to find someone to buy it from regular channels. Anyway, a cartload of coal brought to my home costs two to three thousand kilograms, which is only a few dozen yuan, or about two cents per kilogram.
