Shilihe Village needs to pass through Haiqing Town. Meng Haisheng calculated the time. Even if he arrived at Haiqing Town at noon, he should be able to sell these two baskets of cucumbers.

The tractor started again. Meng Haisheng sat in the bumpy back bucket and breathed a sigh of relief.

Next time he comes to sell cucumbers, he will see if he can borrow a bicycle.

It is too slow to walk with just two legs.

Meng Haisheng, leaning on the tractor, looked at the pile of cucumbers in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Relying only on cucumbers that cost one cent per pound, he may have to wait until the year of the monkey and the horse to turn over.

After Lin Mucheng and Momo died in his previous life, he went south alone and built a business empire with his own hands.

But now he can't leave Lin Mucheng and Momo behind and go south.

And Lin Mucheng has a baby in her belly. It is not convenient for him to take them out with him.

Thinking of the child in Lin Mucheng's belly, Meng Haisheng recalled that his second child did not comply with the family planning policy, and he would be fined 200 yuan when he was born.

There are so many places to spend money. It seems that he needs to work harder and make money quickly.

The speed of the tractor is still very good. It only took Luo Xiao one and a half hours to send Meng Haisheng back to Haiqing Town.

If Meng Haisheng walked alone, he would probably only walk half the way.

"Thank you so much, Brother Haisheng, today. This is for you."

Before leaving, Luo Xiao stuffed a box of Ashima into Meng Haisheng's pocket.

Ashima is not a local cigarette. Even if there is a ticket, it costs 85 cents a box. Meng Haisheng is embarrassed to accept it.

But before he refused, Luo Xiao jumped on the tractor and ran away, waving at him before leaving.

"This kid is quite particular."

Meng Haisheng put the cigarette in his pocket, not daring to delay time, and hurriedly pushed the cucumber to the market.

Haiqing Town has a big market every second and seventh day. Meng Haisheng only remembered this after he came.

He arrived late, and the good spots in the market had already been taken, so he could only find an open space outside the market to set up a stall.

It had just rained heavily yesterday, and as Meng Jianguo said, there were not many people selling fruits and vegetables in the market.

Meng Haisheng had just put the cart away, but he was not in a hurry to sell it. Instead, he went to a cucumber stall a little further away to inquire about the price.

The cucumbers in the market in their village were usually 1 cent per pound, but today the cucumbers in Haiqing Market were sold directly for 2 cents.

Meng Haisheng found out after asking that the cucumbers were still 1.5 cents in the morning.

Later, the cucumber vendors found that there were only a few cucumber vendors in the whole market, so the price rose to 2 cents.

Meng Haisheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Did he come late and still get a good price?

In his previous life, Meng Haisheng also made his fortune by doing small business.

He is still very experienced in selling things.

People like to gather together. The more people gather in front of a stall, the more people will gather here.

Soon someone came to ask the price.

"Big sister, these cucumbers were picked by me in the cucumber field early this morning. They are fresh and only 20 cents per pound."

"Pick whatever you want."

"Young man, I am old and almost your aunt."

The fat lady holding the net bag was very happy to be picked by Meng Haisheng, a young man in his early twenties and quite handsome.

The fat lady likes tender cucumbers. Since Meng Haisheng asked her to pick, she was not polite and picked carefully.

Meng Haisheng only opened one basket, and the other basket was sealed with a fertilizer bag.

Even if he picked, he only picked from one basket.

The fat lady put three cucumbers in the net bag, and another young woman came over to ask the price.

"Big sister, my cucumbers are 20 cents per pound, you can pick whatever you want."

The young woman took a look at the fat lady's net bag and started picking up the cucumbers.

When the fat lady finished picking the cucumbers, several women had already gathered around Meng Haisheng.

People always gather more and more, and Meng Haisheng sold more than half a basket of cucumbers in one breath.

There were not many people in front of the stall, and Meng Haisheng cleared his throat.

"I just picked the cucumbers this morning, they are big and fresh, those who want to eat cucumbers, come and have a look."

The villagers are relatively introverted, and there are really few people in the market who shout as loudly as Meng Haisheng.

His shout attracted a lot of attention.

Even if someone didn't want to buy cucumbers at first, they would come over to take a look after Meng Haisheng's shouting.

Although Lin Mucheng was an educated youth who went to the countryside, the cucumbers she grew were unique in the market.

Not only were they big, but they were also emerald green, and they looked delicious at first glance.

Meng Haisheng didn't care whether the people who came over wanted to buy cucumbers or not, and he greeted them all enthusiastically.

"Young man, how did you buy these cucumbers?"

The stall that was deserted just now soon attracted more people..

After gathering people three times in this way, there were not many cucumbers left in the two baskets.

An old man came behind and bought all of them at 1 cent per pound.

After selling all the two large baskets of cucumbers, Meng Haisheng received a plastic bag of coins and banknotes.

A total of 43 yuan and 72 cents.

Looking at the pile of banknotes in his hand, Meng Haisheng was shocked.

Cucumbers at 2 cents per pound were sold for so much money.

Recalling that Lin Mucheng brought Momo and only picked a few dozen pounds at a time to sell them at their market for a few yuan.

Meng Haisheng just felt something blocking his chest, and he felt very uncomfortable.

At present, transportation is inconvenient and information is blocked. Farmers have things that make money, they just lack a market.

Holding more than 40 yuan, Meng Haisheng took several deep breaths to calm down the complicated feelings in his heart.

As long as he finds the right way, he doesn't need to go south, and he can create a world of his own with his bare hands.

Then Meng Haisheng pushed the cart and strolled around the market.

This was the time when peaches were sold the most, and the price was generally 30 or 40 cents per pound.

Occasionally, there were a few people selling small strawberries, and they also sold them for 25 cents per pound.

The only cheap thing was watermelon, which was only 9 cents per pound.

Green vegetables were relatively cheap, with tomatoes, which were common on the table, only 15 cents, and cabbage, 8 cents.

But these things were sold in large quantities and bought in small quantities.

If there hadn't been a shortage of cucumbers in the market today, he would not have sold them out so quickly.

After a round, Meng Haisheng gave up relying on farming to make a fortune. Not only was it exhausting, but the vegetables and fruits he sold were really too cheap.

All the jars at home were empty, so Meng Haisheng went to buy noodles first.

There were many people selling grain and noodles in the big market in the town.

Meng Haisheng didn't have any food coupons, so everything he bought from the market was expensive, so he could only buy less today.

He only bought five catties of white flour, which was 62 cents per catty.

He bought one catty of pork elbow, which was 97 cents.

Then he bought some soy sauce and coarse salt. Lin Mucheng said that he wanted to pickle cucumbers, so the family must use a lot of salt.

It would be five cents more expensive to buy fine salt directly, so in order to save money, he bought coarse salt and then used a stone mill to grind it into fine salt.

Seeing someone selling honey three-knife, Meng Haisheng couldn't help but buy one catty of it.

Momo was over two years old, and it seemed that she had never eaten honey three-knife.

Before coming here, Meng Haisheng promised to buy candy for Momo.

He didn't have any candy coupons, so he could only spend 50 cents to buy some hard candy blocks with colorful cellophane at the market.

As for milk candy, it was a hot commodity in the supply and marketing cooperative, and he couldn't buy it for the time being.

After buying delicious food, Meng Haisheng went to the clothes and shoes store.

This morning, Momo lost her only sandal, so he wanted to buy her a new pair of small sandals.

Of course, Lin Mucheng also had one.

As for him!

Meng Haisheng looked down at the Liberation shoes that were so tight that his thumb was about to show through, and decided to buy himself a pair of shoes.

After buying the shoes, Meng Haisheng pulled out a few feet of artificial cotton small floral fabric and prepared to go back to make clothes for Lin Mucheng and Momo.

Lin Mucheng was an educated youth who went to the countryside. When she came to Xiashan Village, the clothes she wore were all things that the girls in this village had never seen.

But after following him, Meng Haisheng, she still wore the same clothes, and even the clothes that Momo wore after she was born were altered from clothes that she couldn't wear.

And except for bringing endless suffering to Lin Mucheng, it seemed that he, Meng Haisheng, had given her nothing.

After buying the things, it was already past lunch time, and Meng Haisheng, who was extremely tired, bought himself two buns to fill his stomach.

He had to walk back in the afternoon, and he was afraid that he would have to walk until dark. If he didn't eat more, he really suspected that he would faint on the way.

Meng Haisheng carefully put the remaining thirty yuan in his pocket, which was his start-up capital.

On the way home, Meng Haisheng was in a very good mood.

Although he was a little tired today, he made more than 40 yuan.

When he went back in the afternoon, he would personally make dumplings for Lin Mucheng and Momo.

On the way back, Meng Haisheng's mind was full of various ideas to make money.

In the absence of better means of transportation, Meng Haisheng first thought of business in the county.

When he was moving bricks in the south, he heard a story.

It was said that there was a little girl who had no money to study, and her teacher gave her an idea to dig Bupleurum and sell it at the Chinese Medicine Hospital.

In the end, this little girl not only relied on selling Bupleurum to get into college, but also helped her family get out of poverty.

There is no shortage of Bupleurum in the mountains near Xiashan Village, but he needs to think about the market carefully.

Meng Haisheng thought about it and decided to go to the mountain early tomorrow morning to have a look.

Bupleurum is not a rare thing, he still knows it, then he will dig some and dry it, and then go to the county Chinese medicine hospital to have a look.
