Liu Qingshan and his family all went to attend the banquet at Da Zhangluo's house.

This is not because their family is not reserved, and they are doing the whole family to carry the same trick.

The main reason is that they almost all gave gifts: one for grandpa Liu Shikui, one for Linzhi, one for Gao Wenxue and Liu Jinfeng, and finally one for Yang Hongying.

So I went all out of my way to eat and drink for free, and there were not many left.

By noon the next day, Liu Qingshan drove his second sister to the commune and took a bus back to school.

Liu Qingshan also knew the specific time of the final exam. They were on the first year of high school and the next two days on the sixteenth.

When he returned to the village, the old branch secretary informed him that he had called Chuncheng Automobile Factory and told him to go there in the past two days, saying that a foreign negotiation team was coming soon.

Liu Qingshan happened to talk about the market, and everyone was a little unsure. The reason was very simple: they had never done a business, they didn’t know what to sell, and they didn’t know how to sell it.

They are all honest farmers, and when they go to the market, there are probably few who can open their mouths.

Don’t think that the shout is so easy to shout, it represents a change in ideas.

Only the car owner has a business mind and agrees with both hands, and can ask his daughter to touch the steering wheel more.

As for what goods to sell, Liu Qingshan proposed a big direction: as long as it is the New Year goods that can be used during the Chinese New Year, it will be fine.

He really knew very well that in the past two years, as long as he had something on his hands, he would never have to worry about selling it.

The reason is very simple. In the first few years of contracting production, farmers have some extra money in their hands. Who doesn’t want to have a good New Year?

The channel for purchasing most New Year’s goods is the supply and marketing cooperatives. More people do not have the awareness of the commodity economy.

Everyone's situation is similar to that of the villagers in Jiapigou: they can't do business and have no awareness at all.

The result of this is that demand is much greater than supply, so as long as you ship the New Year freight back, you can make money while lying down.

The key factor here is that they have a great liberation.

You can travel long distance transportation and go to the city to purchase goods. This is what most people do not have.

When it comes to New Year's goods, everyone is excited and talks all over the place.

What food, drink, what to wear, what to write couplets, colorful paper for lanterns, and even newspapers that paste the walls and New Year pictures posted were all thought of.

Liu Qingshan quickly filled up a piece with paper and pen, listing dozens of products.

Of course, these things cannot be purchased all of them. Now they don’t even have a purchase channel, so they can only grab whatever goods they have.

After discussing for a long time, the purchasing staff who went to Chuncheng determined: Zhang Liandi naturally wanted to drive Dali, and the boss uncle and Da Zhangluo, these two capable people were responsible for following the car.

Liu Qingshan was also brave and wanted to drive a jeep to Chuncheng, where he pulled Captain Zhang and Erbiaozi.

These two people are mainly responsible for contacting the supply of goods in Chuncheng.

After Liu Qingshan finishes his work, he can also provide assistance.

These days, transportation is not so safe, and carjacking happens from time to time. In case of precautions, the mute grandpa was asked to go down the mountain to take charge of the car.

As for the mountain, two people were temporarily sent to replace the forest ranger.

Generally, when you go to the market during the Chinese New Year, you have to pass Laba before you can be considered a prosperous market. It takes about twenty days from Laba to Laba to the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Now there are nearly ten days left before Laba, and it is just about to start preparing stocks.

According to Liu Qingshan's idea, you can't run empty cars when you go. It's best to carry them back and forth: transport them to the chicken, duck, fish, and other agricultural and sideline products, and then transport them back to the New Year's goods, and make money from both ends.

The fattening pigs in their pig farm have been booked by the car factory, but they can be slaughtered for another half a month. If they are slaughtered now, it will be a bit of a loss.

As for chickens and ducks, the number is limited. If you catch them now, you may not be able to get a car in ten days and half a month.

Just when everyone was worried about this, Erbiaozi suggested: "The reservoir is about to conduct large-scale winter fishing. Yesterday, I came to Jiapigou to hire someone to help. I wonder if I can get a few carats of fish?"

Winter catch is a local feature. In winter, ice is chiseled and placed in the net. Sometimes, tens of thousands of pounds can be harvested.

The fish that was salvaged were frozen on the ice quickly, and they were so cold that they could be used as sticks to hit people. When eaten, they were similar to fresh fish.

The biggest advantage is that it is convenient for transportation.

OK, that's it!

The old branch secretary made the final decision.

But this is not wishful thinking, and you have to do the work on Tongshui Reservoir.

Early the next morning, Captain Zhang led twenty powerful laborers in Jiapigou to the reservoir to help fish. Liu Qingshan was also one of them.

Before dawn, Liu Qingshan got up and moved in his yard for a while. Time was too tight, so he would not go up the mountain today.

In the room, my mother had prepared breakfast for him: sauerkraut and pork dumplings.

The winter catch is a long time and heavy task. Working on the ice is also extremely exhausting, so you have to eat hunger-resistant food.

If you work with an empty stomach, the colder you get, the more you work, you will have to get seriously ill when you come back.

Not only Liu Qingshan, but other villagers who participated in the winter catch also had dumplings and oil cakes for breakfast, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

More than twenty people were riding in two large carriages and setting off, it was just dawn.

There are three carriages, which means there are three horses that pull the cart, which is also called three sets of carriages.

In the middle is a big horse that drives the shaft, which is the absolute main force in pulling the cart.

There is also a horse on both sides of the shaft, which is a string and a pulling sling. When the heavy cart is used, the shaft and the shaft cannot be pulled, which is the two of them play a role.

In the past, there was a special term in the local rural areas, which was called "scoop traps".

What does it mean? It means that the man from this family cannot support this family due to physical reasons, such as having a leg disabled person.

What should I do if my wife is kind and righteous, but she refuses to leave her husband to remarry?

He would find a bachelor who could not afford to marry a wife, and he would be responsible for the work. The three of them would live together. After this, the one who joined was called a gang trap.

Today, Jiapigou dispatched three sets of vehicles, not because they could not pull the vehicle, but because they were not only hiring people, but also horses, so they went for a few more horses.

It was quarrel, and the neat sound of horse hooves broke through the tranquility of dawn, and white air spurted out from the horse's thick nostrils.

This period of time is also the coldest time of the day, commonly known as ghost grinning, and the temperature is definitely above minus thirty degrees Celsius.

The ghost bare teeth means that even if the little ghost comes out and wanders around at this time, he will be so cold that he grin and hiss.

Fortunately, the people sitting in the carriage were all covered with tightness and armed from beginning to end.

He had a big dog-skin hat on his head and a big squid under his feet. He was either wearing a cotton coat or a sheepskin coat. None of them had a grin.

After walking for four or five miles, the carriage had already entered the reservoir. The ground was half a foot thick of snow, and the bottom was nearly one meter thick ice.

As we walked, the sun came out, and the sun shone on the snow field, shining brightly, like a twinkling gem.

At this time, you can't stare at the snow for a long time, as your eyes will soon become "snow blind".

Because the ultraviolet rays reflected by the snow are very strong, staring at the snow is almost the same as staring at the sun.

"Here, here!"

There was a group of people in the distance, waving their arms and shouting came from afar.

When I got closer, I was surrounded by the reservoir staff, with more than a dozen people, and they were all covered tightly.

"Thank you guys!"

An old man wearing a dog-skin hat came first, and he was Director Yu from the reservoir.

Director Yu was in his fifties, his white beard was covered with frost, and he was almost turning completely white.

People who are familiar with him usually call him Yu Batou, and his ancestors have been making a living on the water for several lifetimes.

On their side, they often call the leaders in a certain industry "head".

For example, the fishing master is called "fishbiaotou", the capable people who collect ginseng are called "ginsengbeou", etc.

On the Jiapigou side, today Captain Zhang led the team. He went up to greet him for a few words, and then went to the reservoir warehouse to pull fishing nets and other tools.

The rest of the people began to follow the head and look for a suitable place to go down the net.

This is also the most test of the fish's vision, because it is not known about the distribution of fish under the ice surface through the thick ice surface.

If you choose the wrong place, everyone will work in vain and can't catch a few fish.

The clever fish heads are familiar with the underwater terrain and know the rules of fish swimming in the water, so as to effectively fish in the net.

To put it bluntly, this is still a very experienced business, and it is not possible for laymen at all.

Everyone was walking on the ice, and Yu Batou said to Captain Zhang beside him: "Old Zhang, you guys have come a lot. I promised to hire ten people, each of them will cost 10 cents a day. You have been here for more than 20, so our reservoir can't pay the money."

Captain Zhang waved his hand: "It's okay, just give it to ten people, and we will share the money by ourselves when we go back."

Yu Chatou thought about it and said, "Then you can carry two fish back then, and everyone will be fine."

Liu Qingshan took the opportunity to get a mouthful: "Director Yu, two fish are not enough, we want 20,000 kilograms."

"I heard that you made a lot of money by selling vegetables from Jiapigou. You have money. You can eat 20,000 pounds after opening your mouth. "

Yu slammed his head and mouth haha, he thought it was a joke.

Captain Zhang told us about the situation, but Yu Ba's head waved his hand repeatedly: "It's not possible, the aquatic products company has added 150,000 kilograms of fishing for us, but it may not be possible to complete it."

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but interrupt: "Director Yu, you just said that the aquatic products company has carp for 30 cents per pound, and fat head fish and grass carp are cheaper. Then we will give one cent per pound. What do you think?"

At this time, the fish is not cheap at all, it is slightly worse than pork. Fresh carp in summer also costs nearly one dollar per pound.

First, it is the output factor, and second, it is transportation.

Liu Qingshan had already talked with Director Hao of the Automobile Factory Union last time that even if it was frozen fish, it could be sold for 700 or 100 cents. The profits here were quite considerable.

"If you can't succeed, you can buy and sell it if you can't. You will make a mistake. Lao Zhang, don't ask me any questions."

Yu Zhuan said no hesitation. This person is very principled and is not an easy to convince.

The topic has ended here for the time being. Everyone continues to move forward and gradually arrives at the middle of the lake. The snow on the ice has been manually cleaned up, revealing a large mirror-like lake surface.

"I'll get off the internet here in a while."

Yu gestured his head and cleared the ice surface after the snow, so that the sunlight could shine into the water. Such places had a richer oxygen content than other places, making it easier to gather fish.

As they spoke, the carriage brought the tools, and everyone picked up ice slabs for chiseling ice and prepared to dig an ice hole.
Chapter completed!
