Chapter 69
"Uncle Xiao, what does the Industrial and Commercial Bureau do?" Tang Xiaonan asked without a word.
"The market is in charge, a idle job, drinking tea and reading newspapers every day." Tang Laijin sneered.
My mother scolds him for being idle every day, haha... His brother-in-law is really idle. He goes to work to read newspapers and drink tea in the morning, goes to the bathroom a few more times, takes a nap, and continues to read newspapers and drink tea in the afternoon. He gets a day of obsessive salary, but what is it if he is not a waste of life.
Huo Jinzhi was even more moved. He went to the city this time to understand the market situation. Unexpectedly, the Tang family's son-in-law was in charge of this, so he could take the opportunity to inquire later.
Tang Xiaonan heard Tang Laijin's contempt for his uncle, and didn't know why. However, although Tang Laijin was idle, the Tang family had one advantage, which was to protect their children.
They are definitely not good to outsiders, but they are intimate with their relatives, so there should be only one reason why Tang Laijin is dissatisfied. This uncle is not very good to his aunt Tang Laifeng.
But I have to see myself before I can understand it, maybe there is a misunderstanding.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and had already climbed over the top of the mountain and was about to go down the mountain. As long as you go down the mountain, you can reach Wucheng.
There were rapid footsteps in front of them. Soon, a middle-aged man carrying a peddler's load appeared in front of them, with a pair of cloth shoes hanging on the shoulder pole, and straw sandals on the man's feet. He walked very fast, and the sharp stones on the ground did not affect the man's speed at all, as if he was walking on flat ground.
The load carried two large baskets, and there was a basket on one end. It was covered with a large piece of brown candy and covered with a clean cloth. The wind blew a corner, and Tang Xiaonan's heart started to beat again.
Could this be the famous "Chicken Feathers for Sugar"?
"Uncle, I want to eat candy." Tang Xiaonan acted coquettishly.
The middle-aged man stopped immediately and looked at Tang Xiaonan with a smile. He traveled around the world and developed a golden eye. He could see that Tang Xiaonan's family was in a good condition at first sight, so he smiled and said, "The little girl looks so handsome, uncle will give you candy."
He took out the hammer and the drill, knocked off a piece of candy the size of a child's palm, wrapped it with sautum and he handed it to Tang Xiaonan.
"Uncle, how much does it cost?"
Tang Xiaonan took it out in her pocket. She had a small treasury. Yesterday, Tang Baishan secretly gave her a dime, and Tang Laifu also secretly gave her a dime.
"No money, uncle invites you to eat." The middle-aged man smiled. The little girl looked handsome and sweet, and she looked liked.
“I have money.”
Tang Xiaonan shook her head vigorously. The people of Wucheng now have a very difficult life, otherwise they would not have crossed mountains and rivers to exchange chicken feathers for a mu of land.
The original intention of changing chicken feathers to sugar is not business practices, but to increase production.
Wucheng has many mountains and few land, and each person has limited fields, but this is not a problem for the smart and hardworking Wucheng people. They found that the yield per mu can increase by dozens of kilograms by fermenting chicken feathers into the fields, which is why people all over the world know the story of "for sugar".
Although it was initially intended to increase production, swapping chicken feathers to sugar is the prototype of Wucheng people's business ambitions, because many people also help others to bring goods while changing sugar. The business gradually flowed, which also caused the unique business practices of Wucheng people.
It is not by chance that Wucheng can become the world's largest small commodity trading center, but by the choice of the market.
