My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 136: Ten sets sold in one day, the whole dam is surprised

While young literary figures were eager to buy a set, they were short on cash. Older writers, on the other hand, often had decent jobs: teachers, government officials, or factory workers. While forty yuan wasn't cheap, it was still manageable if they saved a bit.

So, you do one set, I do one set, Li Feng was so happy that he finished six or seven sets in a short while. Adding Huang Shengnan's, it was almost ten sets. When it was over, Li Feng counted them and found that there were exactly ten sets.

The deposit was more than ten yuan, which was not much, but it was settled at least. After all, everyone wanted to save face. It would be difficult to cancel the order once it was written in black and white.

"How's it going?"

After seeing off many writers and literature lovers, Han Fuguo and Han Futian rushed to Li Feng's house.

"It's okay, not bad."

Li Feng was acting coolly, but Han Fuguo and Han Futian had no idea what was "merely satisfactory." After all, showing off one's knowledge was something only scholars could do. They only knew a few words and had studied accounting, so they weren't really that educated.

"not good?"

"Ah, okay."

Good boy! Li Feng saw the two of them looking grim. Well, they didn't understand what he just said. This guy was a little embarrassed. "Let's sell about ten sets."

"About ten sets?"

Wow, there were so many! The two of them hadn't expected it. They had thought it would be good if they could sell three or five sets. A desk costs 40 yuan, a bookshelf 20 yuan, and ten sets add up to 600 yuan. They could buy several thousand kilograms of dried sweet potatoes.

Relief grain can buy a lot of it. After all, the price of relief grain is much lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives. Six hundred yuan is enough to buy one or two thousand kilograms of grain. A family's food supply is enough for at least half a month. Buying dried sweet potatoes may be enough to last for half a month, or even a month.

Han Fuguo and Han Futian were extremely excited. This could make money much faster than selling wood. If they sold wood, they might not be able to make this much money even if they cut wood for a month or two. But in just a few days, this kid Li Feng had really done something big.

"Okay, okay, this is your first credit."

Han Fuguo patted Li Feng on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Futian, take the antelope legs that are drying in the team home with this kid."

"Uncle Fuguo, how can this be so embarrassing?"

Li Feng chuckled. "Well, come over to my house for dinner tonight. I'll have stewed antelope legs."

Han Futian even said that this kid might have had a high level of consciousness, and that he was just overthinking it. "Okay, okay, let's go to your house for dinner, but don't relax and quickly pack up these ten sets of tables, chairs, and bookshelves."

"Uncle Tomita, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, you won't be able to escape."

Li Feng chuckled and pulled out a dozen yuan and a piece of letterhead with the order list and address. "Uncle Tomita, put it in the account. This is the deposit I received today. Here's the list and address of the desk and bookshelf order. I promised to deliver everything I ordered today."

"Okay, good boy."

With the address and the name, he wasn't afraid of running away. Han Futian quickly took it. "Come on, let's go get you some antelope legs. I have to put it in the account quickly."

"Hahaha."

Han Fuguo was so happy that he didn't know what to say. "By the way, you like sour bamboo shoots. I'll ask An Bing to bring you a jar later."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Fuguo."

Li Feng thought to himself, now all the delicious food and drinks are here. You know, some writers who came to participate in the event today were given some wine or cakes. After all, these people have good jobs and earn a lot of money, so they certainly can't come here empty-handed.

Now with the antelope legs given by the brigade and the pickled bamboo shoots sent by Uncle Fuguo, this guy can have a big meal tonight. Don't say that he has been busy here for the past few days and his stomach has been empty for a long time. Now he is happy, with food, drink and meat.

Life is getting better now. Li Feng picked up the antelope leg and weighed it. It was good. After being pickled and air-dried for a while, there were still five or six pounds. It would be delicious if it was stewed in a pot of sour bamboo shoots and added some chili paste.

"came back."

"Hey, this is it?"

Wu Tong and Qin Yue were busy cleaning up the cups. After all, they were Li Feng's, so the cleaning and tidying up work was left to Wu Tong and Qin Yue. Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough time to experience it and wouldn't be able to go back. After all, the production team experience tour, even the most ordinary one, still required some experience time.

Fetching water was not enough for two people, so picking and washing vegetables, helping with cleaning, setting up tables and chairs, even chopping wood, boiling water, and washing cups were not difficult tasks. They were used to it, and it would be abnormal not to work here. Others would definitely point fingers if they saw them.

Nowadays, no one dares to introduce lazy girls to men. After all, if someone marries her and finds out later, they will definitely report her to the matchmaker's family.

"Pickled and dried antelope legs."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Let's make a stew tonight and replenish our energy. We've been so busy these past few days, and now we're finally done."

"That's great."

Not to mention that Li Feng's stomach was empty, Wu Tong and Qin Yue, who usually didn't like to eat lard when losing weight, had been secretly wanting to get some to eat these days. Now that they had some meat to eat, who wouldn't be happy? Even Wu Zhenhua and Wang Yin came to help.

"That's quite a bit."

"Of course not. Even dried, it weighs five or six kilograms."

Li Feng used a knife to chop it into fist-sized pieces. "Leave some, we'll stew the rest today."

"Let's cook some rice. Let's eat and drink well today. Uncle Wu, those old writers brought some wine today. Let's try it. I heard the local wine is pretty good." Li Feng added oil to the pot while talking.

This is the national food coupon welfare with oil coupons. I saved it with great difficulty, and this time I put it all in the pot. "Fry some chili oil and eat meat."

"Uh-huh."

"By the way, Boss and Second Brother, please ask them to come back early after they finish their work."

Li Feng said to Li Muchen, "Brother, you've worked hard these past two days. Eat more when you get back."

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Muchen had been following Gao Cheng for the past few days. Gao Cheng was busy at the furniture factory. He didn't know how to do carpentry, so he could only help carry and roast wood. It wasn't easy work, and after a few days of hard work, he was quite tired. He had gotten a little darker, which made him look more manly. Wu Tong and Qin Yue even suggested that he shouldn't go back. He should work at the furniture factory for a while longer. Maybe he'd be a more mature man by the next time they saw him.

"Then eat more."

There was a lot of meat in the stew, plus a lot of pickled bamboo shoots. Li Feng also braised some pumpkin and eggplant. Although it was just a simple stew, his cooking skills have improved a lot recently, and the taste was not bad at all. In addition to the main dish, Li Feng also fried a few side dishes, scrambled eggs with leeks and tiger skin peppers.

After smacking a cucumber, he finished cooking the last few preserved eggs. Li Feng felt relieved. He saw that the last red sausage had been cut and placed on the plate. Everything was done.

"Uncle Fuguo, Uncle Futian, why are you adding more dishes?"

Two people came over, each holding a bowl of food. They looked delicious, with a lot of meat in them.

"We caught a wild rabbit and stewed it the day before yesterday. Your aunt asked me to bring half of it for you to try."

"What a good thing the hare is. It smells so good."

Of course it smells good. Meat, of course, smells good. As for Uncle Tomita's meat, Li Feng couldn't tell the difference. "This is a stone frog. I finally caught a few. It's a mountain delicacy."

"Really? That's great." Li Feng was excited. He really knew about this thing, but it was rarely seen in later generations. If you could catch one, people would buy it for hundreds of dollars. "Hurry up and sit down. A friend just gave me some good wine. Let's drink and eat."

When the meal started, the women didn't sit at the table. They really didn't like the smell of alcohol, so they packed their dishes and sat at the small tables to eat. The men sat at the big table. In fact, there were not as many dishes as the women, but they were mainly drinking.

"Master Gao, I'd like to toast you on behalf of our Hanjiaba community."

Han Fuguo stood up, and Gao Cheng hurriedly stood up. "Captain Han, it's a pity for you. This is what I should do. I'm also very happy to be able to help the team."

"Master Gao, you've helped us a lot. This is a toast."

Han Futian said with a smile, "If we can sell another ten or twenty units in the next few months, our team will have a lot of work to do."

"Don't worry, Uncle Tomita, a dozen or twenty sets is not a big deal."

Li Feng drank a little wine and felt a little tipsy, but he was not bragging. With such a good start, maybe sales would be even better in the future. After all, Li Feng had prepared the next promotional measures.

Home delivery is not just home delivery. You have to know that those who placed orders are from relatively well-off families, and some of them even live in dormitories. Li Feng plans to take a good walk around the dormitory and show off.

I think it will attract some attention, and with the effect of a few purchases, it won't be difficult to sell it at one or two times the price. Of course, Li Feng didn't say this to Han Fuqiang and Han Futian. Bragging is bragging, but if you really want to do it, you have to be low-key.

"Good boy, we feel relieved with your words."

Han Futian gave Han Fuguo a look. The two of them had originally wanted Gao Cheng to say this, but it would be better if Li Feng said it. Although this kid is usually lazy and cunning, he is smart and there is a high probability that what he says will succeed.

This also made Han Fuguo and others look up to Li Feng. Although this kid was a little frivolous, his words were still quite effective. He basically accomplished everything he said. This was not bragging, but real ability.

"You and Master Gao should work harder these days and make the furniture as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Captain Han. We'll have all ten sets by next weekend at the latest. But we're going to run out of wood later on," Gao Cheng said. "The new wood won't be ready for a while, so we'll need some time."

"That's it."

Han Fuguo looked at Han Futian. "Futian, go visit each household later. I remember they all have some spare wood. I'll trade it with them for new wood. Give them more and exchange any that you won't need for a while."

"That's a good idea."

Li Feng slapped his thigh. He had the same idea originally, but it was difficult to implement. However, since Han Fuguo had spoken, few people in the team dared to fool him. Besides, it would not be a loss to exchange their own wood for more new wood if they could not use it for a while.

Of course, if you plan to repair the house, people may not be willing to replace it. After all, the new wood needs to be stored for a period of time before it can be used.

"I'll go ask each family after dinner."

Han Futian knew who had lumber. He didn't need to count them; he could just go door to door and ask. He knew whether each household needed repairs, and no one would try to fool him. Although Han Futian wasn't as influential as Han Fuguo in the brigade, he had plenty of supplies.

Suanpanzi, this is not a random nickname. If anyone offends this person, maybe nothing will happen on the surface, but in private, he will suffer a great loss.

"Then wait for good news from Uncle Tomita. Boss, you should also speed up the progress on your side."

Li Feng poured wine for Wu Zhenhua, Han Fuguo, Gao Ju, Gao Cheng, and Li Muchen. "Come on, let's go."

"We'll try to get these tables, chairs, and bookshelves printed out next week."

"Don't worry, even if we work overtime and don't sleep, we will hand over the desks by next weekend." Gao Jue had drunk quite a bit, and now he was excited and patted his chest.

"that would be great."

Everyone was very happy after the dinner, which lasted until around eight o'clock. Li Feng sent Han Futian and Han Fuguo back home. At home, Wang Yin, Wu Tong, Qin Yue, Susu and the two children had already cleaned up the dishes.

"Little Li."

Wang Yin saw Li Feng coming back and wiped his hands. "There's not much water in the water tank. Where's the bucket? I'll ask Uncle Wu to fetch some water."

"Aunt Wang, no, Uncle Wu has had some drinks. Let him rest. I'll do it."

Li Feng drank a lot of wine, but he was in good health and didn't feel drunk.

"Okay then, go slow."

"Do not worry."

However, Wang Yin still asked Wu Tong and Daya to follow. Fortunately, Li Feng did not seem drunk along the way, which made Wu Tong feel relieved. If Li Feng was really drunk, the job of carrying water would have fallen on her and Qin Yue.

Two people couldn't carry the water, so they still had to carry the water. It would take at least ten trips back and forth to fill the water tank. Fortunately, Li Feng was not drunk, and after a few quick trips back and forth, the water tank was filled with water.

"The water in the well is getting lower and lower."

Li Feng put down the bucket and sighed. "If it doesn't rain, not only will we have trouble growing crops, but we'll also have trouble getting drinking water for our livestock."

"Yes."

Wu Tong was exhausted from shaking the bucket. "Really? Why doesn't it rain?"

"It's dry and hot right now."

Wu Tong wiped the sweat off his face. "By the way, Boss Li, when are you going back?"

"In a few days."

Li Feng took a towel and wiped the sweat off his face. "Let's go back when the furniture is ready." If he went back now, Li Feng would have little money in his pocket and couldn't take anything with him. He would have to wait until the furniture was sold.

A 10% kickback would be around 60 yuan, plus the work points of Gao Juecheng and his brothers, the total would probably be around 70 yuan, enough to buy a lot of things. Not to mention anything else, he now has wine tickets and some other bills.

It's worth buying some cigarettes and alcohol to take back. After all, the price of alcohol is not low in the future. Even if you don't sell it, it will still be worth a few points if you put it on display. Of course, you can also buy some small items, such as bowls and dishes. Li Feng and the writers in the region and county have all talked about it.

He likes some old things very much. If anyone has any information or channels in this regard, please inform him. The environment is a little better now. As long as you don't act openly and buy some old things, the government will not arrest you specifically.

Besides, Li Feng and Huang Shengnan had a good relationship, and this time he invited her to the tea party, which was a favor. Unbeknownst to Li Feng, Huang Shengnan returned to the group and reported on some of the content of the tea party.

"Didn't you mention the little black donkey?"

Chen Daguo was a little surprised, but after hearing the whole thing, he finally understood. "That's quite a broad mind."

"How about this, Shengnan, go order a set of tables and chairs for me. We just happen to be short of one set at home."

"can."

Huang Shengnan didn't think that Chen Daguo was doing Li Feng a favor. After all, the desk was really nice and the bookshelf was very beautiful.
