hunting in 1986

Chapter 188 187 equipment, help

I was worried that I would not be able to get up the next morning, so I stewed all the duck meat the night before. The next morning I ate the duck meat with the porridge and enjoyed it very much.

snort snort~

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, Wang Yuan turned the bowl around and drank a big mouthful of porridge, and ate with a piece of soy sauce-colored duck.

The surface of the duck meat is covered with red crushed chili skin, which is really spicy.

"It's really spicy, but the more you eat, the more you want to eat."

"It's not spicy or fragrant. The small peppers planted last year are almost finished. Let's press a few more this year." Li Yan ate more quietly, sipping the porridge and occasionally brushing the broken pieces by her ears with her fingers. send.

"Okay, just put it on the piece of land south of the chicken farm. If you plant seven or eight plants like peppers, you won't be able to eat them. Then you can plant some fruits on that piece of land. Last year's strawberries and melons were good. Plant some this year too."

"Plant melon seeds, no, it's sunflowers~" Li Ping interjected, "When the time comes, a large field of yellow flowers will bloom, and it will look beautiful around the sun."

"Hey? Xiaoping's idea is good. I can eat some fresh melon seeds at that time. I always feel that fresh melon seeds have a special tender fragrance. There are no fresh melon seeds sold in Daji."

A meal is spent in light chit chat.

After eating, Wang Yuan carried water to boil, Li Yan washed clothes, and Li Ping helped clean and dry the quilt.

A week passed by.

In the past few days, Wang Yuan drove Li Yan and Li Ping into the mountain once in a tractor, and came back after chopping down a lot of wood - he didn't want the head or roots of the tree, only the beautiful trunk in the middle.

You can cut a lot at a time, and when you come back, you can dry the wet ones, and when they are dry, they can be chopped into logs and piled up.

One morning he took his dog into the mountains, but only caught a few pheasants, and stewed them when he came back. The gaudy pheasant feathers were given to Wang Lu, the second uncle's cousin, who planned to make shuttlecocks.

This morning Wang Yuan yawned again and again, and was planning to go back to sleep after breakfast, when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew outside, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.

Originally, there was still some dust in the yard, but when the rain fell, the dust in the air disappeared instantly, and there was a refreshing feeling in the air.

The rain wet the wooden boards, the thatched building, and the little girl chasing the dog.

"Xiaoyuan, hurry up and collect your clothes!"

"I'm coming!"

"Sister, put away the basket, shovel, and rake, right?"

"Collect, collect... put them all in the shed... You silly dogs are also adding to the chaos, stepping on your paws."

Li Yan hugged the clothes and hurried into the house. There were so many clothes that she couldn't carry them all in one trip. The clothes were torn off too quickly, and the corn stalks used as clips were split in two.

The sorrows and joys of human beings are indeed not interlinked.

The sisters Li Yan and Li Ping were in a hurry, but the little girl was very happy, running around in the fresh air yard, sometimes reaching out to catch the rain, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes chasing the dog and wanting to ride it .

"No house tiles for three days!?"

Wang Yuan put the last few pieces of clothes into the house, came out and grabbed the little girl to slap her~ and slapped her buttocks a few times.

The little girl who was beaten was crying loudly.

The dogs who were fighting with the little girl were very smart. Seeing that the little girl was being beaten, they hurried back to the kennel, and were afraid that Wang Yuan would also beat them up with lowered eyebrows.

Carrying the little girl back to the house, the yard that had been tidied up seemed empty, and it was raining heavily at this time.

crackling~
rumbling~
After the muffled thunder, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, the rain became heavier and heavier, and a stream soon formed in the yard.

The meandering creek slowly flows out of the yard, and sections of corn stalks that are 10 centimeters long and split in half flow out of the yard like boats.

"It's raining really hard. Fortunately, I ran almost without clothes and got soaked." Wang Yuan dusted off his clothes, lit a cigarette and smoked.

When I came to the back room, I saw the big white cat sleeping on the pillow next to the bed, holding her favorite rubber ball in its arms, sleeping so beautifully with its little paws.

"Hey~ You can sleep well, why don't you enjoy it like this?"

Wang Yuanjian whizzed because he couldn't get used to the big white cat's appearance. He quickly woke up the big white cat when he climbed onto the kang, and the big white cat meowed angrily.

At this time, Li Yan and Li Ping hung their clothes to dry in the main room, and went into the back room with a large dustpan and peanuts:
"It's like bullying the big white cat and the children who can't grow up every day. Come on, let's peel peanuts together."

"Peeling so many peanuts haha?"

"In addition to eating for ourselves, don't we need to extract oil and save seeds?"

"That's true."

In the eyes of hard-working people, it is all work. Turn on the TV and watch TV. Li Yan, Li Ping and Wang Yuan sit on the kang and peel peanuts.

The little girl lay on the kang and played with the big white cat, petting the fat big white cat very carefully, the big white cat purred comfortably.

But after half an hour or so, the big white cat didn't want to play with her anymore, so Gu Yong lay down on Li Yan's lap.

Li Yan didn't think it was too heavy. After picking up two handfuls of big white cats, she continued to peel the peanuts. Kakaka~ The peanut beans were put into the dustpan, and the peanut shells were thrown to the ground.

After a while Wang Yuan was really sleepy, not only the sound on the TV was like a lullaby, but also the sound of the rain outside the window had a hypnotic effect.

"This kind of weather is suitable for sleeping. I'm so sleepy that I need to sleep for a while." Wang Yuan pulled a pillow, lay on the kang and fell asleep quickly.

Ka Ka Ka ~
Li Yan turned down the volume of the TV, and the only sound in the room was the crackling of peeling peanuts.

"Sigh~ Xiaoping pulled the padded jacket from your back and put it on your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is so lazy that he will never work if he can."

"Hey, what is the big white cat going to do?"

Under the gaze of Li Yan and Li Ping, the big white cat went directly to Wang Yuan's chest and lay down.

……

Wang Yuan didn't know how long he had been asleep, he was woken up by his wife Li Yan.

"Xiaoyuan wake up, brother Zhuzi is here."

"Ah, ah, brother Zhuzi is here?" Wang Yuan yawned and got up from the kang, rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Zhuzi entering the door wearing a poncho made of a fertilizer bag, Zhuzi's voice followed Come:
"It's raining really hard. Is Xiaoyuan at home? Just woke up?"

"I slept for a while with nothing to do, and it's raining heavily outside again?"

"Yeah, it's not enough to use a fertilizer bag to make a poncho. Look at my trouser legs are all wet... I slipped a bit when I passed Uncle Man's house, and I almost lay down on the ground to see my muddy hands."

Wang Yuan rubbed his face to wake himself up, invited Zhu Zi to sit down and handed him a cigarette, Li Yan went to the main room to make a pot of tea and came back.

After chatting for a while, Zhuzi explained his intention.

"Yang Hua and I plan to partner up the entire canning factory. You know about this, but the machinery and equipment of the canning factory can't be fixed. I know you are very capable. Is there any way to get the equipment for canned food? "

"What the hell?"

Just waking up, Wang Yuan was still a little dazed, and his hair was messed up like a chicken coop.

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes to refresh himself, he said:
"Yang Hua was in charge of making the equipment before, right? Last time I was chatting at your house, you seem to say so."

"That's right, who knew that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, the equipment that Yang Hua liked was bought by the boss in Daqing, wouldn't he be caught blind?
I paid the deposit, and now I have returned the deposit... According to Yang Hua, the boss at Daqing gave the higher price. "

Zhu Zi sighed again and again, his brows frowned into the word "Chuan", and his energy was lacking:
"Everything else has been prepared, but it turned out that such a thing came to an end, and it was a bad start...Xiao Yuan, I know you have a lot of contacts, so you must help me. I really beg you."

"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry, as long as I can help, I will definitely help... It's just that I haven't been exposed to this aspect before."

Just when Wang Yuan was thinking about whom to ask, there was another voice from outside the yard, it was Yang Hua who came wearing a fertilizer bag.

In fact, Yang Hua was not very willing to beg Wang Yuan. Last time he chatted at Zhuzi's house, he still had a heart for Wang Yuan's words.

But now it is indeed difficult, so I have to bow my head.

However, Yang Hua also expressed his thoughts: "Wang Yuan, I really need to ask you this time... But it is better to buy brand new equipment directly from abroad. Since we want to do it, let's do it well.

Most of the domestic equipment is second-hand, or even third-hand and fourth-hand. It is not certain how long it will last and when it will break. "

Wang Yuan looked at Yang Hua strangely: "Can you handle foreign exchange?"

"What? Forex?"

"Yes, foreign countries do not circulate renminbi, and foreign countries are willing to sell equipment to us, provided that they want foreign exchange, such as US dollars, British pounds, or even Japanese yen."

"Eh, this... foreigners can spend RMB in our country, buy things with RMB and then ship them out." Yang Hua looked at Wang Yuan eagerly after finishing speaking.

The air was suddenly quiet.

Wang Yuan looked at Yang Hua with caring eyes for more than ten seconds, making the latter look terrified. Suddenly, Wang Yuan thought of Li Hang who was abroad.

"I have a friend who is abroad. Let me ask him if he would like to help."

"All right, all right, no matter if we can make it or not, we have to thank you, Wang Yuan." Seeing that Yang Hua was a little unhappy, Zhu Zi tugged on Yang Hua's sleeve and said to Wang Yuan with a smile.

Yang Hua felt that his proposal just now was good, but he forgot that there are too few foreigners who are willing to cooperate.

Foreigners, like Chinese people, have their own areas of expertise. Let the other party buy Chinese products and sell them abroad-it's really not sure whether they can make money.

Although there were many opportunities to make money in the 90s, there were also many pitfalls, and there were also many people who lost their fortunes.

The three of them had a meal at Wang Yuan's house at noon that day, and the atmosphere became more harmonious while eating, drinking and chatting.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuan finished writing the letter to Li Hang, rode his motorcycle to the post office in the city, and returned after posting the letter.

In the next few days, Zhu Zi and Yang Hua were like ants on a hot pot, they came to ask Wang Yuan almost every day if he had received Li Hang's reply.

Finally, one day in early April 1990, Wang Yuan received a letter from Li Hang.

The sun was shining near noon, and Li Yan was rolling out the dough with a big rolling pin, preparing to make noodles later.

"It can be regarded as accepting Li Hang's letter. If we can't accept it, the threshold of our house will be trampled by Zhuzi and Yang Hua...Xiaoping, help me bring some wooden boxes in."

"Here we come." Li Ping stopped teasing the dog and felt like hugging the wood with her long legs.

"Let me see what is written in Li Hang's letter."

Wang Yuan stood in the yard, teasing the dog with his feet, and opened the letter to read. The light reflected by the sunlight on the white letter paper was a bit dazzling.

Stationery abroad is different from domestic ones, with patterns similar to windmills and flowers on the edges.

In addition to polite greetings, Li Hang also said that his mother is still in the country, and he can give the RMB to his mother, and he will buy the equipment back with foreign currency out of his own pocket.

In later generations, most fruit canneries have precooking machines, peeling machines, empty can washing machines, sugar pots, sealing machines, can wiping machines, inkjet printers, conveyor belts, labeling machines, storage pots and so on.

Canning factories in this era are much simpler, and many processes can be replaced by manual labor. Even so, all the equipment will cost 6 yuan.

Of course, this includes Li Hang's profit, Li Hang also wants to make money, and Wang Yuan doesn't know how much he makes.

And Li Hang asked to pay a deposit of 2 RMB in advance. If Yang Hua and Zhuzi break the contract, the deposit will not be refunded.

There is another sentence in the letter that is very interesting:
"If it's Wang Yuan and you want to open a canning factory, then I will definitely not ask you for a deposit, I can trust you.

But now that someone else wants to buy it, it's better to be on the safe side, or else when the equipment is shipped to China, the person who buys the equipment will not want it, then I will suffer a lot. "

At this time, Li Yan couldn't bear the fire of gossip in her heart, and leaned over to Wang Yuan to read the content on the letter paper:
"What did Li Hang say in the letter? Can he help?"

"I can help. The total price is 6 yuan, and 2 yuan will be paid first."

"Oh, is 6 yuan more or less?" Li Yan immediately asked Wang Yuan, who didn't understand the market price of a complete set of equipment for a small canning factory.

"Forget it, I'm just a matchmaker, just tell Zhuzi and Yang Hua the price, you can decide whether you want to buy them... I don't earn a penny from them, pure help can help this part. That's enough."

"Not only does our family not make money, but our family puts money into it." Li Yan curled her lips: "It's expensive to send letters abroad. Isn't this money?"

"Haha, I don't care about such a small amount of money. I'll tell Zhuzi and them when it's done."

Wang Yuan opened the fence door and went out, and the three dogs followed him bouncingly. The dogs occasionally sprinkled some water on the bottom of the telephone pole, or frightened other dogs in the same village.

Living in the countryside, the three dogs are indeed very happy.

When he came to Zhuzi's house, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law happened to be stewing the hare meat. The aroma was wafting, and Wang Yuan's saliva sped up in an instant.

"Brother Zhuzi, I received a letter from a friend from abroad. He can get a complete set of equipment for a small canning factory."

"Okay, okay, come in and say..." Zhuzi was very happy and ran to open the door for Wang Yuan: "It just so happens that your sister-in-law has stewed rabbit meat, let's eat here at noon, let's have a drink together."

After entering the house, Wang Yuan told Zhuzi the total price of 6 yuan, 2 yuan in advance, and Zhuzi frowned instantly.

It seems that the price exceeded their expectations.

"How about this, Xiaoyuan, sit down for a while, and we'll have dinner right away. I'll go and ask Yang Hua to go. He's the major shareholder and we need him to make up his mind."

Zhu Zi patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You must not leave, you must stay to eat rabbit meat today, the hare meat is delicious."

"Okay, I won't go."

Zhuzi trotted out of the house, and soon pulled Yang Hua over. The delicious rabbit meat was served on the table, and the wine was filled. The three of them sat at the kang table and chatted while eating.

The meat of the wild rabbit is really delicious. Wang Yuan leisurely ate the rabbit meat and drank fine wine, enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on his face through the window.

Compared with his ease, Zhu Zi and Yang Hua's pressure is much greater.

Especially Yang Hua, who was a bit absent-minded when chatting, and never let go of his frown.

After drinking for three rounds, Yang Hua put down the small white wine glass and muttered: "Wang Yuan, let me tell you the truth, 6 yuan for a complete set of equipment is really a bit expensive."

Wang Yuan spat out the rabbit bones, and there was already a small pile of bones on the table in front of him:
"You and Brother Zhuzi can make up your mind on this matter. The price is not set by me. If you think it can be adjusted, then buy it. If you think the price is too expensive, then don't buy it... To be honest, I'm just a matchmaker, I decide everything No way."

"Buy, buy, buy..." Zhu Zi suddenly said: "The price is not too expensive, you can get it if you buy it, and I have been worrying about the equipment for so long.

Besides, Wang Yuan helped to ask foreign friends, communication is so troublesome, and the price offered by the other party is not too expensive, so it is not appropriate not to buy it. "

Yang Hua was still struggling, Wang Yuan repeatedly waved his hands and retorted:
"Brother Zhuzi, don't think it's inappropriate not to buy it. Don't take me into consideration, just consider the price... If you think it's expensive, don't buy it. If you think the price is okay, buy it.

To be honest, if you really think it is expensive, then I don't recommend you buy it, and it's okay to refuse. "

In the end, Yang Hua didn't make up his mind, he just said after thinking about it.

Wang Yuan didn't urge him, he ate a good meal of rabbit meat and went home.

Two days later in the morning, Yang Hua and Zhuzi found Wang Yuan's house, and they were willing to buy equipment through Li Hang.

Without wasting any time, the three rode motorcycles to the city, found Li Hang's mother, signed the contract, and handed over the [-] deposit.

Li Hang's mother would write to Li Hang to deliver the goods, but Wang Yuan didn't have to worry about writing letters anymore.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Hang's mother invited the three of them to have a meal. During the meal, she said:
"It's time-consuming to transport it by sea, so don't worry. In addition, the machinery and equipment will be unloaded at Yingkou Port in Liaoning. As for transporting it from Yingkou to Lindu - that's up to you to figure out a way."

In an instant, Yang Hua and Zhuzi were one head and two big, and they felt that they had been cheated. They knew about Yingkou, but they had never been there. How would they bring it back?
