026: A Little Twist in Career
Do you want to find out where you need a lot of eels? "
After a lot of work, Xia Xiaolan's hot face was flushed, as if pink peaches were very attractive. Zhou Cheng was pleasing to the eye wherever she was, but Xia Xiaolan didn't like him being too straightforward, so he turned his gaze a little bit aggrievedly.
Xia Xiaolan nodded.
"It's not just the eel. In fact, there are a lot of good things in the countryside. It's not troublesome to ask along the way. Maybe you'll find a new way?"
Farmers can't save much money because the purchase price of agricultural products is already very low.
After they were sold to the state, they were given priority to big cities. People who bought things didn’t have much money, and people who didn’t have enough rations couldn’t buy things with money. Not all urban workers are well-off, so it’s okay to make a tooth sacrifice every month. Xia Xiaolan is looking for business opportunities arising from unequal information between buyers and sellers.
Zhou Cheng saw that she was happy, and he was very happy.
Even under the fierce autumn tiger sun, Zhou Cheng didn't feel tired.
However, Xia Xiaolan's business was not all smooth sailing. After looking for a few noodle stalls, they were not very interested in purchasing eels stably. In addition to Xia Xiaolan, there were also people who offered to provide them with eels. This thing cannot be caught in the commercial city, and some farmers in the surrounding areas also sell it in the city. If Xia Xiaolan wants to unify this supply market, she has to squeeze others out first... Double fists She is a big girl who is not as powerful as Zhou Cheng and Kang Wei, so how can she really solve the problem by force?
Even more so at low prices.
Disrupting the order of the market by lowering prices indiscriminately is simply difficult for oneself.
Others sell it in pieces, and most of them are caught by themselves, but it takes some time and energy, and there is no monetary cost. Xia Xiaolan's eel was purchased, and she earned the difference in price. The lower the price, the thinner her profit.
Is it really only for retail?
Sold to a state-run hotel?
As long as the name is "state-run", the people in the store will only look at people through their nostrils, and they will not give Xia Xiaolan the green light because she is good-looking. Seeing that she was worried, Zhou Cheng really wanted to say that you should stop doing it, so let Kang Wei bring some goods from the south to Anqing County every two weeks, which is also better than her selling eel.
"You can still do this business for two months, right? It will be difficult to catch eels in November. You don't really want to keep doing this business, why do you think so much, and when you save enough money, let Kang Wei give it to you. Bring some clothes back to sell."
Xia Xiaolan asked suspiciously, "How did you know that I was selling clothes?"
Zhou Cheng was instantly amused, "You were at the farmers' market just now, and you stared at the people who set up the stall without blinking. Would you like to drag them away? It's good to sell clothes, and clothes are cheap in Yangcheng."
Zhou Cheng still didn't say a word, Xia Xiaolan stared at the stall owner without blinking, that person might have misunderstood that Xia Xiaolan was interested in him. That's why he deliberately told people that Xia Xiaolan was his target, and that it was not good for people to be too beautiful, so he had to be on guard wherever he went!
Let Kang Wei bring the clothes back?
Xia Xiaolan shook her head.
It's not that she doesn't want to take advantage of it at all, it's that she doesn't believe in the aesthetics of straight men.
She must go to Yangcheng to pick the clothes in person. There are still trains from Shangcheng to Yangcheng, but the conditions are worse and the time is longer. Zhou Cheng knew that her idea was right, so he didn't continue to lobby, and said that she would go to a restaurant for dinner - this time Xia Xiaolan refused. She wanted to be as comfortable as possible within the limited conditions, but eating out every meal was beyond the limit. her current condition.
Although Zhou Cheng spent most of the money, why should she spend other Zhou Cheng's money with peace of mind?
Zhou Cheng had no choice but to buy a few buns at random.
When the two went back, Xia Xiaolan went to the farmers market again. There were still some spare ribs in the meat stall that were not sold. At this time, people liked fatty meat with fat, and lean meat had to be picked on, and even pork ribs with bones were not worth it . But Xia Xiaolan liked it, so she bought the remaining two pounds of spare ribs from the meat stall.
Zhou Cheng knew that Xia Xiaolan was living in his uncle's house now, otherwise he would have the cheek to taste the food Xia Xiaolan made by himself.
Forget it, she is white and tender, and she is not suitable for smoking, so she should hire a nanny to cook in the future.
The big bosses in the south all hire babysitters, and the chiefs of the capital are also staffed with housekeepers. Why can't Zhou Cheng hire them? This person, even Xia Xiaolan didn't hold hands, and on the third day of knowing each other, she thought of what happened after marriage.
The chairman said that love without marriage is a hooligan. Zhou Cheng fell in love with Xia Xiaolan and wanted to be with her, so he naturally thought of getting married.
When he went back, Zhou Cheng put the two baskets in the back seat on top of each other, and Xia Xiaolan finally didn't have to bend her legs when she sat in the back. When people sit firmly, there are fewer hands on Zhou Cheng's waist, which makes him very disappointed.
Still too soft-hearted, Xia Xiaolan couldn't bear to feel uncomfortable with her legs curled up, so that he didn't take advantage of it himself.
It was not too late for the two to arrive in Anqing County. Zhou Cheng wanted to send Xia Xiaolan back to Qijing Village, but Xia Xiaolan disagreed.
"Then you don't have a car, and you have to walk back to the county town to send me back. It's too inconvenient."
Zhou Cheng thought to himself, he didn't dislike the trouble, and he wished it was too late to live in Qijing Village. However, it was not his style to come to the door empty-handed. He was still thinking about the results of Kang Wei's side. Zhou Cheng repeatedly told Xia Xiaolan to pay attention to safety before letting her go.
Xia Xiaolan rode a dozen meters away, and Zhou Cheng remembered again: "Are you going to Shangdu tomorrow?"
"No, I will go to Anqing County at most tomorrow and go to other villages to collect the goods."
Zhou Cheng knew something in his heart.
When he returned to the hostel, Kang Wei was squatting beside the cart to smoke, and there was a man curled up beside him with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Kang Wei had already taken care of him.
This person is Zhang Erlai from Shipozi Village.
He is usually a bully in the village, and it stands to reason that it is not so easy to be soft.
But Kang Wei not only punched hard, but also pointed the black muzzle at him, and Zhang Erlai almost didn't wet his pants. The recent crackdown has made the wind in the county more intense in the past two days. Zhang Erlai thought he had committed something and was arrested by the plainclothes police. As a result, Kang Wei took him back to the county seat. Instead of going to the police station, he went to the guest house.
Zhang Erlai became more and more frightened.
"Brother Chengzi, you're back, this deflated calf was so scared that he wet his pants, but it killed me."
No wonder Kang Wei was several meters away from Zhang Erlai.
"Take him back to the room, it's not good for you to stand in the courtyard of the guest house."
After all, they are not from Anqing County. Qianglong doesn't overwhelm the locals, and Zhou Cheng doesn't want to be too high-profile. Since Kang Wei brought people back, he must have his own reasons, why Xia Xiaolan has such a bad reputation, this mystery may be solved by Zhang Erlai.
Zhou Cheng's eyes were a little gloomy.
Zhang Erlai only thought that Kang Wei was powerful, but he didn't know that he had provoked a real evil star.
