If you were reborn, what would you most want to do?
Gao Mingcheng thought carefully and decided that having a wife, children, and a warm kang (heated brick bed) was the best! His young and be...
Chapter 75 Found a helper (Please read)
Gao Mingcheng was the first one to open in the entire market, so the customers were naturally the first group of people to come and sell goods.
Normally, if people want to eat domestic pork, they can buy it at any time, but it is rare to encounter wild boars, and wild boars are not as fat as domestic pigs, so the price is a little cheaper than domestic pigs.
Gao Mingcheng weighed the meat for everyone and gave the man who lent him the wooden board two more ounces of meat, which made the man smile from ear to ear.
The people around him also praised Gao Mingcheng for his good conduct and asked him how he killed the wild boar.
It was still early and there were not many people buying things, so Gao Mingcheng started bragging, saying things like "one punch from him would kill a wild boar, one kick from him would not be able to stop a cow", and so on, and he kept talking nonstop.
It sounds quite exciting, but upon closer inspection, it's completely fake!
So everyone laughed at him, but they were tactful enough not to ask any more questions.
After some chatting and laughing, the sky gradually brightened and more and more people came to sell things. Everyone came with their loads on their shoulders and then looked for a suitable place to set up their stalls.
In addition to those selling vegetables, fish and meat, people selling other things also came to occupy the spots and set up stalls.
As the market became more and more lively, more and more people came to buy things. Gao Mingcheng was not a shy person, and he shouted to sell wild boar meat.
With his promotion, wild boar meat sold quite well.
However, originally, in every session, the pork sellers would kill a pig, and one pig was just enough for consumption. But now Gao Mingcheng brought a wild boar, and the market became a little saturated, which made the pork sellers glare at Gao Mingcheng frequently.
What can Gao Mingcheng do? The market is only so big, and everyone can only make money based on their own abilities. When others glare at him, he just pretends not to see it.
The wild boar meat was not sold out until 10 a.m.
Some people are willing to buy wild boar meat for the sake of trying something new, but more people prefer to buy fatter domestic pork, as they think wild boar meat is too tough.
Gao Mingcheng looked down at the wild boar meat on the wooden board and estimated that there were still about ten pounds of it. He was impatient to continue wasting time here, so he quickly put the wild boar meat into the bag and returned the wooden board.
He did not go home directly, but went to a family's home in Junling.
This man has a tractor at home, and he plans to ask this man to take him to the county train station tomorrow. He needs to bring two helpers and several large bags of medicinal herbs, and it would be inconvenient without a car.
Before I even entered the door, I saw someone who looked familiar.
The man held a basket of chestnuts in his hand, holding the hand of a middle-aged man with gratitude, and said with a sob: "Uncle Guolin, thank you so much for what happened last time. If you hadn't been willing to send my mother to the county hospital, she might have died! Uncle Guolin, my family is poor and I really can't afford to thank you. I picked up this basket of chestnuts in the mountains and brought them to you to eat."
The middle-aged man, Chen Guolin, who had a tractor at home, looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
Of course he knew this young man. He lived in a family on another hill. His family was indeed very poor, mainly because there were two sick people in his family. His father was in poor health and could not do heavy work, and his younger brother had paralysis and had difficulty moving.
The family relied on his mother and him as the two laborers. Not long ago, his mother fell seriously ill and suddenly passed away. Chen Guolin was resting at home at the time. After hearing the news, he took the initiative to drive a tractor to take the mother and daughter to the county hospital. After some rescue, the mother survived.
Chen Guolin didn't expect the young man to give him the fare, but the young man specially brought a basket of chestnuts, which made him happy and sigh in his heart.
He is a good child, but his family is in such a situation.
"Okay, I'll take the things. Here are some eggs. Take them back to nourish your mother." Chen Guolin accepted the chestnuts, but gave the young man some eggs.
The young man immediately waved his hands and refused. Eggs were ten cents each nowadays and were considered very precious.
"Uncle, I can't accept it. I have something to do at home. I'm leaving first." After saying that, the young man hurried away as if he was bitten by something.
When he left, he happened to pass by Gao Mingcheng. Gao Mingcheng looked at his back with a particularly complicated look.
He knew this person.
"Hey, why are you running?" Chen Guolin chased after him, his face full of helplessness.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng standing at the door, he asked in surprise: "What are you doing here? I've already bought a pound of wild boar meat today."
Chen Guolin thought Gao Mingcheng came to sell something.
Gao Mingcheng put away his complicated emotions and said with a smile: "Uncle, I need a tractor tomorrow. You drive the tractor to Gaojia Village tomorrow morning and then take us to the railway station in the county town. How much do you think it will cost?"
"Tomorrow? Okay, I'm free." Chen Guolin agreed and named a price.
The price was reasonable, so Gao Mingcheng didn't bargain and accepted it directly.
Before leaving, she said, "Uncle, come over at seven tomorrow morning, don't be late!"
"Okay!" Chen Guolin nodded.
If you go to the train station, you must catch the train, so you have to go early.
Gao Mingcheng walked out of Chen Guolin's house and went along a path toward the mountain. About five minutes later, he saw the young man again. He was working in the fields.
"Huang Dazhi." Gao Mingcheng shouted while standing on the edge of the field.
Huang Dazhi raised his head and his face appeared from the cowpea racks where the vines were gradually withering. He looked at Gao Mingcheng with a confused look in his eyes, not knowing what Gao Mingcheng was calling him to do.
Huang Dazhi and Gao Mingcheng were not very familiar with each other, but he knew that Gao Mingcheng was from Gaojia Village. They had met each other more or less over the years, but they had no intersection.
"Huang Dazhi, come here, do you want to make money?" Gao Mingcheng waved to Huang Dazhi to come over. The words "do you want to make money?" instantly made Huang Dazhi's eyes light up.
He hurried to the edge of the field and asked hastily, "How do I make money? What do you want me to do?"
"I'm going to Zhangshu to sell medicine tomorrow, and I'm short of an assistant. I think you look good, so I want to hire you to go there. I'll give you 100 yuan. Do you want to do it?"
"Dry!"
Before Gao Mingcheng's voice had completely faded away, Huang Dazhi had already agreed impatiently.
One hundred bucks! Anyone who doesn't do it is a fool!
Gao Mingcheng was not surprised and continued, "I rented a tractor from Uncle Guolin. He will drive the car to Gaojia Village at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. You can come with his car then."
"Okay!" Huang Dazhi nodded quickly.
"You'll be out for several days this time, so bring one or two sets of clothes for yourself."
"good."
After saying this, Gao Mingcheng hesitated for a few seconds, took out a piece of fatter meat from the bag and handed it to Huang Dazhi.
"I'll give you the money after you finish the work. Take this meat first. It's a gift from me."
"Oh, OK!" Huang Dazhi's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt that Gao Mingcheng could handle it! He also secretly decided to be obedient and work hard in the future.
This time, both parties were very satisfied.
When Gao Mingcheng returned to Gaojia Village, he was whistling and the cheerful tune floated on the country road.
Huang Dazhi is a ruthless person!
