Chapter 25 Do you know how to count? (Please vote~~)

The person who had been waiting for Li Ye for a long time was the sesame candy vendor that Li Ye met when he picked up the Phoenix bicycle in front of the county No. 1 Middle School that day.

When he saw Li Ye, he hurriedly came over with a smile.

"Brother, eat candy, eat candy"

“I don’t eat sweets.”

Li Ye didn't stop and continued walking forward, but the vendor stopped him and took out a bag of Da Feng Shou.

"Brother, smoke"

"No, I have cigarettes. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Ye blocked the Da Feng Shou cigarette that was handed to him, took out a Da Qian Men cigarette and lit it, then raised his head 35 degrees to the sky, squinting his eyes and looking coldly at the guy who was shivering from the cold.

Li Ye is not deliberately putting on airs!

In his previous life, Li Ye was also a "warm-hearted person". When he first entered the workplace, he was kind to others, willing to help others, smiling when he saw people, and working when he saw work.

In the end, he worked himself to death but got nothing good done, and everyone wanted to suppress him and take advantage of him.

So Li Ye later figured it out. He realized that when dealing with certain people, he couldn't be too kind and couldn't give them a good face.

From their last encounter at the gate of the County No. 1 Middle School, Li Ye knew that this guy was a profiteer, with the cunning and cleverness that were unique to this era.

He was being so attentive today for no reason, it was obvious that he had something to ask for. If Li Ye was easy to talk to, he would definitely treat Li Ye as a "child", which would be very detrimental to Li Ye's next plan.

The arrogance of a cuckold also requires conditions, okay? If a three-year-old kid talks to a brave general like Zhang Fei, will the other person bow down to him?

A blow from the hammer will make you lie in the ditch and rest for a while.

If you want a middle-aged man in his thirties to follow the orders of a student who is eighteen or nineteen, you must use some tricks.

"Hey, there is something going on. I need your help, brother."

"You want my help? How can a student like me help you? I'm not planning on buying hemp candy today."

"You can't help, but your relatives at the North City Police Station can help."

Li Ye rolled his eyes and said, "How do you know I have a relative in the X police station in the north of the city? Besides, I don't even know your name, how can I help you?"

“I’m out of options.”

The vendor selling hemp candy had a bitter face and started complaining to Li Ye.

It turned out that his name was Hao Jian. After coming to Qingshui County to work in the countryside, he married a local and settled in Chenzhuang Township, thirty miles away. Now that the wind is warming up, he makes some sesame candies and sells them in the county town. Everything has been going smoothly for more than half a year.

As a result, today he met a group of street urchins who ate and took things without paying. Seeing that his 20 kilograms of hemp candy were about to be lost, Hao Jian, who always made money by being friendly, started a quarrel with the other party and finally got into a fight, which also attracted people from the X police station.

The people from the X police station did give the group of street urchins a lecture, but since Hao Jian spoke with a foreign accent, the X police station confiscated all his sesame candies and pottery basins and asked him to go back to the village to write a letter of introduction to prove that he was not a vagrant criminal.

Hao Jian came out secretly to sell sesame candy, how could he write a letter of introduction?

The newspapers have recognized the "individual economy", but the county has not yet issued a precise instruction! Will those stubborn old men in the village write to him?

After thinking it over, Hao Jian remembered that he had heard Lu Zixue yelling with his own ears at the gate of the county's No. 1 Middle School that "the director of the X police station is Li Ye's relative", so he had no choice but to come over with his head covered to try and see if he could help.

"Student Li, I really have no other choice. My mother is 70 years old and my child is four or five years old and sick. We all rely on that little bit of sesame candy subsidy."

"I was going to sell candy today to buy medicine for my child, but now I've lost all my money."

Hao Jian spoke so pitifully, with snot and tears, that Li Ye couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

He threw the cigarette on the ground and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Hao Jian immediately said: "Just say that I am the uncle of your classmate's good friend."

Li Ye asked with a half-smile: "And then?"

Hao Jian blinked: "What? What then?"

Li Ye said coldly: "I told you that you are my classmate's uncle, and then you can use my name and the relationship with the X police station as a banner, and you don't have to be afraid of those street thugs, right?"

“.”

Hao Jian was a little confused, smacking his lips, his mouth full of bitterness.

[Sure enough, this is a second generation of dogs. Those who are cunning and sly are not good people. 】

After a long time, Hao Jian said awkwardly: "I don't need your help that much. You can eat my sesame candy in the future, no money required."

"Who wants your hemp candy?" Li Ye pouted, took out a White Rabbit candy and threw it into his mouth, then asked, "Show me the prescription you wrote for your child."

Hao Jian quickly took out two empty medicine bottles from his pocket and a nearly crumpled prescription and handed them to Li Ye.

Li Ye took a look and couldn't figure out what disease this medicine and prescription were for, but it could at least prove the truthfulness of what Hao Jian said.

"Let's go and take a look."

Li Ye returned the medicine bottle and prescription to Hao Jian, then turned and walked towards the North City Police Station.

Hao Jian, who had already given up hope, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran to catch up.

The two of them arrived at the North City Police Station, but Li Ye's uncle Zhao Yuanchao was not there. Hao Jian, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel disappointed again.

You can't ban eating sesame candy.

But Li Ye gave his Daqianmen bag to Hao Jian, and then went to an office. After a while, he came out arm in arm with a young man.

Li Ye pursed his lips at Hao Jian and said, "Here, it's him, a relative of a good classmate of mine. Chenzhuang Township is thirty miles away from here. What procedures should I go through?"

The young man smiled and said, "What formalities? We are just brothers. You are embarrassing me!"

Two minutes later, Hao Jian got his ceramic basin and sesame candy, and not a single ounce of sesame candy was missing.

Hao Jian hurriedly took out the Daqianmen cigarette given by Li Ye and lit it for Wu Xiong, then stuffed the cigarette box into Wu Xiong's pocket. His movements were not only quick but also very natural. It was obvious at first glance that he was a businessman worth cultivating.

The young man said to Hao Jian: "Remember my name is Wu Xiong. If Liu Er and his people bother you again in the future, you can come to me directly and rebel against them."

Hao Jian nodded repeatedly in agreement and gained a new understanding of Li Ye's abilities.

He went to see Li Ye today, actually as a last resort, but he never thought it would be so smooth.

When the two of them left the police station, Hao Jian asked Li Ye what his relationship with Wu Xiong was. Li Ye said lightly, "We are brothers who practiced boxing together."

The way Hao Jian looked at Li Ye was even more different.

[Look at this kid's long arms and legs, he must be pretty ruthless when he hits people.]

"Brother, take this candy and eat it. I will pay you back for the box of Daqianmen in a few days."

Hao Jian took out a piece of newspaper and wrapped a big bag of candy for Li Ye, which almost filled up a quarter of his pot of sesame candy.

Li Ye waved his hand, looked at him and asked, "Have you been to the provincial capital?"

Hao Jian didn't understand, so he nodded and said, "I've been there a few times. Two of my educated youth friends asked me to visit them after they returned to the city."

Li Ye said without question: "Take these candies to the provincial capital and see how they are sold. If it works, I'll take a stake in your business."

“.”

Hao Jian's smiling face froze, and after a few seconds, he began to curse in his heart.

[CTM I knew this guy was not a good person. It was not enough for me to give him free food, but he actually wanted to take advantage of me for a long time? Even landlords and rich people are not so cruel, right? ]

"Take a share" means to get benefits in a deal. Hao Jian wanted to look for Li Ye more often in the future and give him candy so as to maintain their relationship.

As a result, Li Ye now directly wants to "take a share", which is really going to peel off a layer of skin!

"It's not worth it for my small business to travel 80 miles to the provincial capital. Alas."

Hao Jian forced a smile and wanted to refuse Li Ye, but suddenly his eyes blurred and a five-dollar bill appeared.

Li Ye handed five yuan to Hao Jian and said, "Go to the provincial capital and do a thorough investigation. Focus on finding some people like you. What's the point of doing retail? If you want to do it, do wholesale."

Hao Jian touched the five dollars in his hand, feeling that it was a little unreal.

The largest banknote in those days was ten yuan, and he only charged a few cents or dimes for the candies he sold. He might not even see a five-yuan "big note" in a month.

You should know that the medical expenses for giving birth to a child in a county hospital only cost eight or nine yuan.

But now a "little kid" gave Hao Jian five yuan without even shaking his hands, just to let him "go to the provincial capital?"

[Doesn't he know that the ticket from the county town to the provincial capital is only a few cents? ]

[Isn't he afraid that I will take the money and not do the job? ]

Hao Jian thought about it and finally determined that although the boy in front of him was young, he was really not afraid that he would embezzle the five dollars.

After figuring it out, Hao Jian's mind became more flexible. He put five dollars in his pocket and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by wholesale?"

Li Ye asked: "How much does your sesame candy cost per kilogram?"

Hao Jian said: "30 cents! If you can buy affordable food, it can be lower."

Li Ye asked, "How about you sell it for 60 cents?"

Hao Jian was stunned for a moment. He usually sold it at one yuan per kilogram, and he even sold it for two yuan when he met Hanhan. How could he sell it for only sixty cents?

Li Ye glanced at Hao Jian and said with a curled lip: "Do you know numbers? Do you have any problems with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?"

Hao Jian rolled his eyes.

[What are you talking about? After all, I went to the countryside after graduating from junior high school, right?]
