"Also, bring me the contract for this warehouse. If you don't have one, ask the owner to write one immediately. We need to apply for a license and taxes. Whose name should it be in? Who has the household registration book with them?"

I really miss the convenient ID card!

The ID card system was piloted in Beijing in 1984, and was subsequently piloted in several other large cities. It took several more years for it to be used in the small place of Huai County. Now, you still need to bring your household registration book with you wherever you go to stay or do business.

Three people brought their household registration books, and finally decided to use Wu Haotian's.

He also showed Zhou Xiang the warehouse lease contract, and Zhou Xiang found that the contract was written in a fairly standard manner. The warehouse should be rented out for a long term.

Zhou Xiang was left behind to look after the warehouse while the other six went out to purchase things.

The first person to come back was Ma Zhao's cousin, Ma Gang, who brought back three scales.

The young man was a little shy, "Sister Zhou Xiang, I'll take the scale back first. I, I still need to help."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Go ahead! I'll watch over here!"

After more than two hours, six people came back with three carts carrying broken tables, broken cabinets, and broken counters.

After unloading, Zhou Xiang instructed them to arrange the seafood so that it separated the main entrance from the inner room, just like selling goods at the counter of a supply and marketing cooperative.

"Okay, put the extra ones inside as benches. I'm leaving now and will come back in the evening."

He also took away the medicinal seeds that Zhong Xiong and his friends brought back from the south.

Zhou Xiang strolled back to the guesthouse and first took out the fruits to serve the six people in the evening.

I worked in the space again, planting two seeds of each medicinal herb and marking them. I didn't recognize them, so I would wait for them to grow.

Then I washed up and went out with six fruits in my hand.

I found a restaurant on the roadside, had a bowl of vegetable noodles, and then went to the warehouse.

In the warehouse, six people were eating steamed buns with pickles and garlic.

Zhou Xiang inexplicably felt that their miserable appearance was humorous. "Are they so poor?"

Ma Zhao covered the garlic in his mouth embarrassedly and said, "The last of my money was spent on today's things."

"I hear this, it feels like a hero's last stand, a desperate gamble. Come on, everyone, have some fruit, and then give me some feedback."

"Is there still fruit at this time?"

"Have you heard of greenhouse vegetables? The same goes for greenhouse fruits. Try them!"

Each person took a piece of fruit.

"Crunch!" He took a bite and couldn't stop eating until he got to the core. Then he looked up and asked Zhou Xiang, "Anything else?"

"I won't give it to you even if I have it. Tell me, what does it taste like?"

"tasty!"

"tasty!"

"tasty!"

The six were delicious, and Zhou Xiang was speechless.

"Well, do you still want to eat it? If I had tasted this fruit and then told you it was no longer available, and then six months later told you that you could buy one pound of this fruit for two pounds of dried seafood, would you be willing to buy it if you had the money?"

The six heads nodded repeatedly, "The fruit is so delicious, don't even mention having money, I'll borrow some to buy it."

"Then why is dried seafood more expensive?"

"It's for eating anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. The main thing is that it can..." Sold with fruit.

This time, Ma Zhao was quicker than Zhong Xiong. He grabbed Zhou Xiang's hand and shook it tightly. "Sister, sister, thank you so much. We don't have to eat steamed buns anymore, and we don't have to eat seafood by ourselves during the New Year."

Wu Haotian acted like a firefighter again, pulling Ma Zhao away. "Let go! You can break Sister Zhou Xiang's hand with your shaking! You don't know how to control your strength."

Ma Zhao let go of Zhou Xiang's hand. Zhou Xiang looked at his red wrist and asked, "Can I kick him?"

Zhong Xiong and Wang Qiao immediately held Ma Zhao and turned his butt towards Zhou Xiang. "Kick him, kick him hard. You can also call for help."

Zhou Xiang really raised his foot and kicked the butt in front of him, "I told you to be crazy. I'm going to go back and tell my future brother-in-law to beat you up."

Ma Zhao nodded and said, "It's okay. I'll be happy if the boss beats me up."

After the laughter, the six people discussed the issue of small packaging.

Ma Gang asked hesitantly, "After it's wrapped, people can't see it. Would you be willing to take it?"

Six pairs of eyes turned to Zhou Xiang again. Zhou Xiang held his forehead with his hand. "Don't you all have any brains? Go to the plastics factory tomorrow and buy some bags for sugar. Also, buy some hacksaw blades and candles to seal them. You can pack them into one-pound and half-pound bags. If you want three thousand pounds, buy five thousand bags."

Chen Ou sighed, "It's better to read more! It makes you smarter."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! So when you go back, you should hire someone to teach you how to read."

Then, a wailing sound arose.

As a result, Chen Ou was beaten up by a group of people.

Zhou wanted to leave some money to buy packaging bags and then returned to the guesthouse.

The next day, Zhou Xiang went to the building early, put the household registration book and lease contract on the coffee table, and when he was about to leave, Zhou Yizhou came.

"It's just right. I'll give you this passbook and the warehouse key. Let me tell you something!" When those people heard why the seeds were so expensive, their faces turned green.

Then I told them that watermelons must be grown from seeds, but they didn't believe me, so I quit. Now I have nothing to do."

“Where are the greenhouse vegetables?”

"I dumped it because they said I hadn't recovered my original investment."

"These people! The vegetables are affordable, and the portions are there! They're not as good as the watermelons by weight. Just leave them alone. When they can't manage it well, don't take over. Just say it should be handled by the Agricultural Bureau and ask your dad to push it over to the Agricultural Bureau. It's so pissing them off. They're so greedy."

"Oh no! Will someone accuse us of overstepping our authority and stealing work from the Agriculture Bureau?"

"Are you stupid? Can't you just say it's for research? We invested in the early stages, it was government funding, and only after it was successful did we release it to the unit. What else can the Agriculture Bureau say? And we still have to rely on you to contact them for the watermelon seeds!"

"Yes, yes, yes. If you dare to say that, I'll tell you that good seeds take time."

"Yes, don't worry about anything. Just get some results in the early stages. Don't just focus on the profits. In the end, the credit will still be yours. Take a good rest for a while!"

"Okay, I'll run an errand for my little sister."

Zhou Yizhou truly let go of the burden of this year and left happily.

Zhou Xiang opened his bankbook and found a full 100,000 yuan. This Zhou Zhou must have put a lot of effort into it, and he also had to deal with the faces of those people. If there is any good thing in the future, I will look for him.

I threw the passbook into the space, dressed up, went out to find a donkey cart and went to the house of the old man who sold wicker baskets. He hadn't been there for a long time, and I wondered if he was still there.

When I arrived at the old man's house, I was warmly welcomed. "Little girl, you haven't been here for more than half a year. Don't you want the wicker basket?"

Zhou Xiang looked at the tall pile of wicker baskets covered with tarpaulins in the yard and said, "After this purchase, I won't need any more, so don't make too many."

The old man nodded and said, "If you haven't been here for a long time, I will write less."
