Chapter Eleven: A Handy Idea

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Guodong drove a tractor and carried Li Yumei to the fields to harvest corn. It will take several years to fully exempt the agricultural tax. Therefore, the word "paying public grain" is still a real payment of public grain in rural areas. A considerable part of the land in rural areas is still growing grain. Not like later generations, the wheat planting plot in a village is less than one percent of the land in the village... I am afraid that even if we tell you about the situation in the future, not many people believe it.

Lin Tao did not go to the field. First, he had something to do, and secondly, as Lin Guodong said, he learned technical things, and he couldn't do those rough work - at least he was not as good as Lin Hai, who often worked in the field.

After Lin Tao cleaned up his home, he went to the village convenience store. The house has not installed a phone yet. Now, for ordinary people, the initial installation fee of installing a phone worth 4,000 or more is still a big burden. However, Lin Tao believes that it will take a phone to be installed in the house in the future.

"Uncle Chen, I'll make a call." When Lin Tao arrived at the convenience store, he saw that there was no one outside, but the phone was already outside. He shouted, "The owner of the convenience store, Chen Chen Liang, then poked his head out of it. Seeing that it was Lin Tao, he said with a smile: "Xiao Tao is here? Just call me, what are you polite?"

It is still rare for college students in the village to be admitted to college. After Lin Tao was admitted to college, three more students came out. The best thing was a key point in the Magic City, but the villagers still have a high recognition of Lin Tao, the first college student. After all, he was the first.

The convenience store now looks relatively simple in Lin Tao. It opens a large window directly on the east wall of the house, and then nails a shelf, with a telephone and some commonly used items on it. Most of the things are in the room inside, a simple counter, with daily necessities.

Lin Tao knew that in a few years, due to the popularity of mechanized farming, people gradually became idle. At that time, there would be four or five such convenience stores in a small village, not only selling goods, but also barbecue, automatic mahjong tables, etc. When the farming period is slack, the yard here is full. Even during the busy farming period, some people who do not work stay here from morning to night. This brings a lot of joy to everyone, and it also relies on many family conflicts and breeds some problems.

Picking up the phone, Lin Tao dialed it according to the number that Zhang Hongyuan left for him in his memory.

"Hey?" The phone was connected, and Zhang Hongyuan's low voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Zhang, I came to find you two days ago." Lin Tao said: "I have prepared the things and can take them here this afternoon. However, things are a bit old, do you think you should find an expert to take a look?"

After all, he was calling outside, and Lin Tao did not say too much, but he believed that Zhang Hongyuan could hear it.

Sure enough, when Zhang Hongyuan heard Lin Tao say he wanted to "take the palm of his eyes", he immediately felt energetic and asked, "Are you going to use antiques to mortgage it? Okay, I happen to know an expert, from our county cultural relics bureau, when will you come in the afternoon?"

"I'll come over to work." Lin Tao said, "See you then."

Lin Tao put down the phone and saw Old Chen holding a rag in his hand, listening to his voice in the window. Without saying anything, he smiled and handed over the money and said, "Uncle Chen, is the business good?"

"Oh, no, I'll just get some pocket money." Chen Liangcai's face was a little red, and he said in a concealment by looking for money: "Xiao Tao, I heard that the harvest of cotton is the price of cotton that is to rise? There are not many people growing in the team, but there are many people growing in the north."

"I'll just make a small fuss and try it." Lin Tao didn't want to say more on this topic, and pointed to the Chen family's yard and changed the topic: "Uncle Chen, it's definitely not very attractive to sell these things at your convenience store. Instead, you have to tie someone up. Look at your yard so big, it's just the interval of busy farming. If you set up a barbecue in the yard and set up a mahjong table, not only will the popularity rise, but the sales of beer and other things are absolutely good. Nowadays, young people go to the city to eat barbecue, and this thing doesn't require too complicated technology..."

"Hey, this is a good idea!" Old Chen's eyes lit up, and then he asked with some concern: "Can it work? What we do in our village cannot be compared with those craftsmen in the city!"

"You'll know if you try it." Lin Tao said with a smile: "Anyway, you have sheep at home. Pick a small one and slaughter one. Try your hands and have all the skills. The barbecue stove not only barbecue, but also grill ham sausages, fish, vegetables, etc. The roasted items must be sold faster than the ham sausages you have raw."

"Well, indeed..." Old Chen is a business-minded person. He slapped his head: "It just so happened that the reservoir has released water these days, and there are a lot of fish in the canal. This is easy to do... Then I'll try it?"

Lin Tao said encouragedly: "Try to prepare the materials in the morning, and go to each household in the village to talk about it in the afternoon, or go directly to the village radio room to broadcast it, so that someone will come!"

Seeing that Lin Tao taught himself all the publicity methods, Old Chen made up his mind. He nodded and said, "It's done! I'll slaughter the sheep in a while, then cure the meat, and then make a few good fish! You guys who have been to college are just about their brains!"

Lin Tao half intentional and half casual about Lao Chen's business tips. Lao Chen is good. When he was a child, he went home from school and his family didn't come back to work, Lin Tao often went to the convenience store and ate a lot of food from Lao Chen's house. After all, there were not many people at home during the busy farming season. Chen Liangcai and Lin Guodong were a group of Zhiqing who came here, and they had a good relationship with the Lin family. In Lin Tao's memory, Lao Chen's convenience store has been open, and now his family is better in the village. After two years, the villagers discovered business opportunities and opened more. Lao Chen's transformation was slow, and it was a bit late to adjust. The popularity is not as good as those newly opened and those who have been half dead. Now, take this step in advance and gather popularity, it must be a little changed.

When he walked back, Lin Tao did not follow the same path, but turned around and passed by the door of Leng Yuhu's house.

The large iron gate at the entrance of the yard was open. Lin Tao happened to see Leng Yuhu sitting in the yard, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, with a few cantaloupes and a plate next to it, which had already cut into strips of cantaloupes. It seemed that they were about to dry the dried melons.
