1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Okay, okay, just now your dad and I said that in the coming year, we will plant more rapeseed, and the two vegetable fields by the lake will also be planted with rapeseed. Rapeseed is more expensive than rice. Rice is only ten cents more than a catty, and rapeseed is a catty. It can be sold for 5 cents." Li Jinxiang said.

The purchase price of rapeseed is 5 cents, and it can be squeezed into rapeseed oil, which can be sold for 7 cents per catty.

"But there are not many fields at home, and one mu of rapeseed only costs about 120 catties. If you really need to rely on farming to save money and build a house, it will take you many years, but fortunately you are doing well." Li Jinxiang said, "A year ago After building the house, we can bring Xiao Min and Nini back during the Chinese New Year and stay longer."

Su Min is a good daughter-in-law, as a mother-in-law, she has always understood.

My son was a fool before, so a good city girl who married him would not dislike him for being poor, and her home was in the countryside, but this son didn't know how to cherish it.

Even when his old couple went to the city and met Su Min, she didn't say anything wrong about Lu Hao in front of the two of them. To have such a daughter-in-law is really smoke from the ancestral grave.

Among the surrounding towns and villages, no one can have such a good daughter-in-law as Su Min.

The son is the meat that fell from the body, but the daughter-in-law is the treasure that was picked up.

"What are you going to do after bringing back so much alcohol and tobacco?" Lu Liexing looked at his son and asked.

He guessed something.

Anyway, after studying for a few years and working as a clerk in the production team, I can see something.

There was a well at the door, and he fetched some water, washed his face, wiped his arms and legs, rinsed off the mud on his cracked shoes, and put them aside to dry.

Lu Hao brought Zhengsafflower Oil over and handed it to him, "I have other plans. Farming is not cost-effective, and a family like ours with only two or three acres of land can't make a fortune. We have to find other ways out." .”

Bringing so much tobacco and alcohol back, some of them are for favors and have other uses.

Lu Liexing took Zhengsafflower oil, poured it on the palm of his hand, and rubbed it on his ankles. He agreed with his son's words, "That's the reason. It's okay to fill your stomach with this little field, but it's very rare to get rich. On the contrary, Like Lu Sanfu, he used to sneak around while doing farm work, but he was brave enough to contract the pond in the village to make money. He bought a TV at home, and bought a motorcycle this year. His motorcycle cost more than 2000 yuan. "

"However, business is not so easy. His pond is actually thanks to his elder brother who runs a restaurant in the city. His fish can be sold to his elder brother's restaurant. Your uncle and third uncle are also doing business in Echeng. , selling furniture, business is not very good, your uncle and third uncle came back during the National Day, they said that they had negotiated a big order, and some schools wanted to order desks and chairs from his factory, the quantity was quite large, but it turned out I didn't order it later, and after inquiring, I found out that it was snatched away by another person looking for connections."

Schools in urban areas are in a better economic situation, and schools with the ability to provide their own desks and chairs do not need students to bring them.

While the father and son were chatting, Li Jinxiang had already changed his clothes.

Lu Xiaoqin, and Lu Hao's third aunt, who is also his third uncle's daughter-in-law, Liu Cui came over.

"Haozi is back? You're much more energetic." Seeing Lu Hao, Liu Cui looked him up and down.

She had learned something from her daughter Lu Xiaoqin just now.

This nephew was so terrible that he came back in a car.

Before entering the village, Lu Sanfu was disowned.

She also saw the things that Lu Xiaoqin brought back, they were much more valuable than the things brought by relatives during the Chinese New Year!

Many things have never been seen before, and the packaging is also beautiful.

My man didn't make a name for himself when he went to the city with his elder brother to do business, but this nephew seems to have made a name for himself.

"Third Aunt." Lu Hao nodded, "I'll have dinner at my house later."

"Okay." Liu Cui responded.

She held some vegetables in her hand, and said to Li Jinxiang, "Second sister-in-law, I brought some eggs over, went to the vegetable field to pick some leeks, and made some leek eggs for Haozi to supplement."

Lu Hao looked at Third Aunt.

???

He still wants to make up?

The two women went to prepare the meal.

Lu Hao shouted, "Mom, I brought luncheon meat back, just the tin can with words on it, break it open, cut into slices, and fry it to eat, just like fried tofu, the can is hard to open, you just use the tip of a knife Pry it open."

"There are three roast chickens, take them out too, keep one, I will go to the old captain's house after dinner, the other two, you make one, and let the third aunt take the other later go back."

"What does it look like I am eating and taking here? You have asked Xiaoqin to bring a lot of things back. You can keep the roast chicken for yourself. You spend a lot in the big city. Don't spend it. Next time you come back, you can eat it." Xiao Min and Nini are both brought." Liu Cui said.

They both like Su Min and Nini, but they are worried about him.

"There are three roast chickens, you take one home. Xiaoqin and Serena are going to school and need to grow up." Li Jinxiang had already brought out a roast chicken and put it aside.

This is what Liu Cui will take away later.

Lu Xiaoqin ran to help wash the vegetables.

Lu Hao and Lu Liexing, father and son, continued to chat.

"Uncle, someone cut him off." Lu Hao saw the problem at a glance, "This furniture factory can't continue to operate, and most of the time there is no market, the products in the factory can't be sold, and the money can't be exchanged, so we are in a hurry contract."

In the previous life, the furniture factory contracted by my uncle had been operating staggeringly for more than ten years. At the beginning, it was able to make some money, but in the end it couldn't support it at all.

The competition is too fierce.

The competition mainly comes from two aspects. One is the state-owned furniture factory. Generally, there are more than one furniture factory in a city. Some of them have closed down, and some of them must have opened up. Those that have opened up must have something extraordinary, the most important of which is the network.

It is difficult to compare contacts with state-owned units.

The other one is private individuals. Most of the villages have some craftsmen, including carpenters who are quick-witted and courageous. They make tables, chairs or furniture by themselves. Although their network is not as good as that of the state-owned furniture factory, the advantage is that their own cost is low. If you can't get a contact, then hit the price.

As a result, the furniture factory, which has a lack of contacts and whose prices cannot be lowered, is in a position of neither embarrassment nor embarrassment.

On the battlefield, one will be successful, and the same is true in the business field. Even if it is a good time, it is not easy for the business to last and stabilize.

Just like Jiangcheng, there are more than 100 soda factories. After a few years, only the No. [-] Beverage Factory will remain, which is relatively famous.

It is easy to rush in, but the difficulty lies in persistence.

"It's like this. There are a lot of desks, chairs and other furniture piled up in his factory. They can't be sold, so they have been worrying." Lu Liexing nodded.

He looked at his son, "What connections do you have?"

"There are indeed connections, but what I mean is that it's best not to build a furniture factory and transfer it to someone else." Lu Hao said, "Let uncle and third uncle come back to the village and contract out the village's collective lake."

When he came back this time, he not only wanted to build a new house, but also had the idea of ​​a village collective lake!
