The Era of Hard Work

In the next two days at the big fair in Xianggong and Zhajiu towns, the special rectification action led by the county and participated by the towns continued, and some people who were hoping to get lucky stumbled one after another.

It's not like the county started to act quietly without saying hello. There are so many banners and slogans on the fair, what can no one care about?

Lu Dong heard people say that the whole of Quannan is cracking down on the illegal sale and production of fireworks and firecrackers.

In this industry, the future control will only become more and more stringent, until it is completely banned.

Lu Dong had seen it before, and he was investigated and punished for setting off firecrackers when he was married, and he had to pay a fine after getting married.

This year, the investigation was strict. Although Lu Dong is fine, he has repeatedly received notices to pay attention to safety and not to raise prices at will.

Even so, there are still people who secretly sell private goods in small rural markets, because the profit is too high, a profit of two to three hundred percent is enough to make many people take risks.

But in places like Zhendaji, those selling private goods basically disappeared.

In addition to investigations, maintaining stability during the Chinese New Year is also a top priority, and there are corresponding personnel patrolling in Daji to maintain order.

The people who were invited away at the big fair did not have serious problems, and the relevant departments focused on treating diseases and saving lives.

Illegal goods are all confiscated, there is nothing to say about this; the goods that sell regular goods but are detained because there is no temporary certificate, temporarily withheld, and will not be returned until the certificate is applied for.

Punishment is of course unavoidable. According to the personal situation investigated and dealt with, there will be a corresponding amount of fines. After paying the fine, a five-day safety education will be conducted. The problems involved are not very serious. After the safety education, you can apply for a temporary sales certificate through formal channels.

Everything is in accordance with the formal procedures. It takes time to process the temporary certificates for the industry and commerce and the public security. Normally, it takes ten to fifteen working days. Considering special events during the Chinese New Year, it only takes five to eight working days to apply.

However, those who specialize in selling big white skins don't need to apply for a certificate, they are all on the blacklist.

This is a period of crackdown, and the control and crackdown on illegal explosives is very strict.

If the above is true, in terms of explosives, there is no place to complain after a few years of sentence.

Before the Chinese New Year, Lu Dong didn't have to think about competition. There were so many customers that he couldn't sell.

As for the period from the end of the Chinese New Year to the fifteenth day, there is no need to think about it. His business only lasts until the New Year's Eve.

The three episodes of Ning Xiu, Xianggong, and Zha Jiu were sold out for three consecutive days. Lu Dong and his team not only recovered the total cost of 100,000 yuan, but also had a surplus of 20,000 yuan.

The flow of people and the scale of the latter two are far from that of Ningxiu, a county town.

Lu Dong calculated the remaining goods and the shipments in these two days, and after discussing with everyone, he decided to spend another 70,000 yuan to buy goods in Linzi.

Zhajiu collected and distributed early, and there were fewer people at 1 o'clock. Since Uncle Tie's big truck was going to deliver the goods, Lu Dong simply hired a big truck from the county town to go directly to Linzi to pick up the goods.

Possibly affected by the special action here in Quannan, the number of retailers of fireworks and firecrackers has dropped sharply recently. They only waited in line for more than half an hour at the Linzi Fireworks Factory, and then they successfully completed the formalities and started loading.

All in all, 200,000 yuan worth of goods were bought back and forth.

The goods were shipped back smoothly, and everyone went back early in the morning. Tomorrow will be Xiaonian, the first real peak before the fireworks.

The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month is a small year in the traditional sense of the north.

The scale of Baiyun Daji is second only to Ningxiu and Dongguan, and it is the largest market in the north of Qingzhao.

The customs of many villages here are quite different from Qingzhao, and are closer to Beihe County across the Yellow River.

For example, the bride price in the central area of ​​Qingzhao is only about 20,000, and the girl will come back with her when she gets married, but this side is almost 50,000, which is similar to Beihe County across the river. how much back.

The numbers in this day and age are astonishing.

This place is too much influenced by Beihe, and it pays attention to giving big gifts to the in-laws' family during the festivals. Marriage means just meaning, and those who are not married have to give real big gifts!

There is a well-known Chinese New Year ceremony, called Sixteen!

As the name suggests, give away sixteen items, including chicken, duck, fish, tobacco, wine, sugar and tea.

Of course, fireworks and firecrackers are indispensable.

It is impossible to give away a piece of fireworks, and it is impossible to give away a set of firecrackers. If this is really the case, the future mother-in-law’s family will not be able to lift their heads on the street.

Because the sent things should be placed directly in the main room, whoever comes to see them.

As we all know, this kind of thing is bigger than the sky.

Therefore, even if the economic conditions in the north are not so good, fireworks and firecrackers are sold very quickly. People don't just order a single item or a single box, but buy it in boxes.

In addition to the custom of setting off a firecracker on New Year's Eve, Lu Dong was so busy that he wanted to fly.

Fortunately, the fireworks and firecracker market temporarily planned by Baiyun is on the outermost road of Jiji, and Lu Jianren can drive a motor tricycle back to pick up goods at any time.

At noon, there was a commotion nearby.

The deep-fried dough sticks and the seller of fried dough sticks quarreled because a Maza crossed the stall line. The old lady who sold fried fried dough sticks saw that the father and son who fried deep-fried dough sticks were honest and friendly, and the son was still dumb.

At the beginning, the father and son held back and didn't do anything.

Seeing that they didn't dare to do anything, the auntie became more and more fierce. Not to mention the father and son with sesame seed cakes, she even overturned the fried dough stick stall.

One of the biscuits was bleeding from the nose when the old man hit it. I had been enduring it at the time, but now I was in a hurry. I scooped up a spoonful of hot oil from the deep-fried dough stick pan and poured it on the aunt's head...

When the patrol came over, the aunt couldn't see her face and head, and she couldn't even howl.

This matter involves the disabled, and some people are willing to testify to the father and son, proving that it was the aunt who made the move first, and there will be a lot of trouble in the follow-up.

Later, someone who came to buy firecrackers said that the two groups often sell things at the fair here, and this is not the first time that my aunt has trouble selling fried dough sticks.

Probably seeing that people are old and disabled, bullying is easy, and bullying is used to it.

Du Xiaobing said to Lu Dong: "Following the market to sell things, really gaining insight!"

Lu Jianren said carelessly: "Which one is this? In the past, when the butchers went to the market, they used to chop with knives in order to grab the stalls."

"Really, Uncle Qi?" Du Xiaobing said quickly, "You have time, you should talk to me carefully."

Lu Jianren smiled: "No problem! In the spring, I work on the construction site of Wenyuan, a school south of the Physical Education Institute. When do you want to hear it, come find me at noon. Let's talk while eating!"

Du Xiaobing replied straight away: "No problem! It's all on me."

Lu Dong looked at these two, it seemed that Uncle Seven had found a long-term meal ticket.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the number of people in the market gradually decreased, and a young man who was about the same age as Lu Dong came to buy things.

He looked around, asked the price, and said to Lu Dong directly: "Boss, this Kao will bring a box, and the 1,000-ring Mandihong will bring a box!"

Song Na happened to move a box of goods from the car and put it directly on the young man's tricycle.

Young people want to open the box to see the goods. They are probably young and thin-skinned. When they opened the box, they explained: "It's not that you can't believe it. It's mainly for the future husband. If something goes wrong, both sides will look bad."

Lu Dong carried the box of Kao on his tricycle, waiting for the young man to unpack the box and inspect the goods, and asked curiously, "Listen to your accent, it looks like someone from the north of the Yellow River."

The young man unpacked the red boxes all over the floor, looked at them and said, "I'm from Beihe, next to the Yellow River, and it's close across here. We all go to the market here."

It will be fine, Lu Dong helped him unpack the Kao box, and asked, "Are you all happy to give gifts?"

"Heavy ceremony?" The young man shook his head: "It's a small matter during the Chinese New Year, and prostration is called a heavy ceremony! We commonly call it ten top ten!"

Song Na was curious: "What is ten top ten?"

The young man simply explained: "It's the formal gift giving before marriage. Except for the holidays and dinners, you have to go to the future husband's place ten times, and give ten things every time, and you need ten pieces for each item! Duck, fish, tobacco, wine, sugar and tea are the basic necessities..."

Lu Dong asked: "Represents perfection?"

The young man smiled, with a little worry in his smile: "It almost means that."

Song Na was dumbfounded, calculated silently, and asked, "Can ordinary people afford this?"

The young man smiled helplessly.

Song Na is smart, and she immediately figured out one thing: if there are sisters, there will be no shortage, especially those that are durable to storage such as tobacco, wine, sugar and tea.

The young man paid the money, got on the tricycle, and smiled at Lu Dong before leaving: "Little brother, if you are not looking for a wife, don't look for it from the north of Qingzhao. The rules are similar to ours. I have experienced it personally, and the pressure is huge! .”

Song Na replied, "The ghosts are looking for it from the north."

Lu Dong shook his head: "This is not a custom."

Suddenly, he thought of something, Fang Yan belonged to Beihe, and hoped that Lu Chun would not encounter too many messy things.

The former Qi Tian Da Yu didn't understand much, but he heard many people say that marriage is not a matter of two people!

It's a matter of two families!

Song Na poked his black padded jacket with a finger: "What are you thinking?"

Lu Chun whispered, "My future sister-in-law is from Beihe."

Song Na immediately thought of the corresponding character: "Sister Fang?"

Lu Dong nodded, and went back to the back of the booth. Seeing that there were not many people on the market, he said, "Today's Xiaonian, let's collect it early and go back to celebrate Xiaonian!"

"Okay!" Lu Jianren was in a good mood: "Let's go back and have a good drink."

Several people packed up their things and loaded them into the car, and returned to the warehouse after four o'clock. Lu Dong stopped them again, and each of them gave a large box full of red.

It's a young year, and the firecrackers don't let off firecrackers, so it's a joke.

Lu Dong carried a box first, put it on the pedal of Song Na and Xiao Mulan, and said: "Pull the things, ride slowly!"

Song Na smiled brightly: "Understood."

Over there, Qiao Weiguo helped Du Xiaobing tie the box to the rear seat of the car.

Du Xiaobing pointed at Lu Dong and said, "You are not authentic!"

Lu Dong wondered: "What's wrong with me?" He patted the box and said, "It's getting late, hurry back."

Lu Jianren started the tricycle, and Lu Dong threw two boxes of firecrackers into the truck, and they drove back to Lujia Village together, and got off at the old street first, but the gate was locked, and Hu Chunlan was not at home.

Lu Dong knew that the old lady was definitely in the orchard, and the delivery would start after the new year, and the cooking and processing must be very busy.

This point has not come back yet, so there is no need to think about making dumplings.

After setting off the firecrackers, Lu Dong walked north along the old street, intending to go to the orchard to help, but when he was approaching Uncle Qi's house, he heard chickens and dogs jumping inside.

Nail ran out of the house with a burning incense stick, saw Lu Dong and hurriedly called for help: "Brother Dong, save me!"

(The place where ten tops ten has developed to today, and it is already sixteen top sixteen.)
