Chapter 42: Becoming a millionaire should be possible

In the busyness, time quickly came to July 14th.

Deng Yungui and Deng Yuntai rushed back from Beihai the day before the festival, but neither of them stayed at home to celebrate the festival. After leaving the payment for the previous truckload of goods to Deng Shirong, the two of them loaded another truckload of goods and headed for Beihai that day.

Obviously, the two people's previous trip to Beihai has successfully opened up the market, and the price should be relatively ideal.

Deng Shirong was not surprised at this. In his previous life, he and Deng Yungui not only went to Beihai, but also went to Zhanjiang, Lianjiang, Maoming and other places in Guangdong, and opened up many markets. Therefore, in the first few years of contracting the cylinder and tile factory, the cylinders and tiles they made were not worried about selling. He and Deng Yungui really made a lot of money, otherwise they would not be so wealthy to pay off all the contract fees of the brigade in advance.

In our country, people who celebrate July 14th as a festival are generally from the south, while people who celebrate July 15th as a festival are from the north.

Among the many provinces that celebrate July 14th, Guangxi attaches the most importance to this festival.

In Guangxi, many places not only celebrate July 14th, but also treat the ten days before and after July 14th as important festivals, so there is a saying that July 14th is the New Year.

Also, because people in Guangxi eat duck on July 14th, friends from other provinces joke that no duck can leave Guangxi alive on July 14th.

Although there is no Chinese New Year celebration on July 14th in Shuangwang Territory, people still attach great importance to this festival.

Of course, people in rural areas were relatively poor in those days, and it was impossible for every household to slaughter ducks on July 14th like in later generations. There were even few people in the village who were willing to slaughter ducks on this festival.

However, people couldn't just eat pickles during the festival like they did on other days, so from some unknown time on, it became popular in Bangjie Brigade to make and eat Gai Lan on July 14th.

For people of this era, being able to eat gai liang is a great enjoyment.

When it comes to making this kind of snack, women are the most active, both in this era and in the future. Deng Yunzhen got up in the middle of the night last night to soak the rice. Early in the morning, she and her sister Deng Yunzhu took the soaked rice and basins for rice paste to the stone mill at the entrance of A-Zugong Hall to grind the rice paste.

Since almost every household in Naye Village was grinding rice milk to make steamed rice dumplings today, even though Deng Yunzhen and her sister went there early enough, it still took them almost two hours to grind the rice milk, and most of the time was spent queuing.

Seeing them bring back the rice milk, Deng Shirong couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If you want to eat gai liang, why can't you make it any other time? Why do you have to join in the fun today? You can queue up for a long time. You might as well buy a duck and cut it up to eat!"

Deng Yunzhen put down the rice milk and said with a smile: "Dad, that's different. Let's make Gaizhang today to have a good atmosphere."

Deng Shirong said: "As long as you don't mind the trouble."

Deng Yunzhen wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve: "No trouble, Dad, you are a good cook, help us make the stuffing first!"

Deng Shirong said, "I have prepared it for you guys a long time ago and put it on the stove in the kitchen."

Deng Yunzhu said excitedly, "That's great, sister. Let's go back and steam it. I'll light the fire for you. When the gai zhen is steamed, we can go offer it to Grandpa and come back and eat it."

Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. I haven't eaten Gai Lan for a long time. I'm craving for it just thinking about it."

So the two sisters excitedly took the ground rice milk back to the kitchen and started steaming the rice dumplings.

…

An hour later.

Deng Shirong and his six children sat at the dinner table eating gai liang.

A piece of gai liang is usually three or four centimeters thick. It is steamed layer by layer, and each layer is very thin. It can be torn apart layer by layer when eaten, which is also very interesting.

Of course, if you don’t want to tear it, you can bite it together with the top layer of fillings, or even get some sauce to dip it in.

All in all, it is a very distinctive snack.

Deng Yunzhen and her brother, who had not eaten gai liang for a long time, were so satisfied with the meal that their faces were full of smiles.

…

After July 14th, the young and strong people in the village came to help with the work the next day.

On July 16, the construction of Deng Shirong's new house officially started and the foundation was dug.

Because it was a brick and tile house rather than a building, the foundation did not need to be dug very deep. The five houses in the long row only needed to be dug 60 centimeters deep. Only the house near the river needed a foundation more than two meters deep.

At the same time, a septic tank was dug behind the house near the river under the guidance of Deng Shirong.

Deng Shirong was so active in building a new house, not only to find a wife for his eldest son, but also to build an indoor bathroom. He was fed up with the experience of squatting in the shit lake every day. Every time was like going to the execution ground. It was really too hard to bear!

When the foundation was officially dug, in addition to the dozen or so young and strong people in the village who had come before, Deng Shirong's two brothers-in-law and third brother-in-law all brought their capable sons to help.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

More than twenty people worked together, and all of them were good at the job, digging the foundation very quickly.

On the day when Deng Shirong's new house was started, Deng Yungui and Deng Yuntai, who had been driving the second truckload of goods from the tile factory to Beihai to sell, also returned.

…

Tile factory.

Deng Yungui told Deng Shirong all about his experience of selling goods in Beihai, and finally said excitedly: "Uncle Jiu, the market demand there is very large. In the short term, our tile factory's goods will have no problem finding a market."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Then we will focus on supplying the Beihai market. When the market is almost saturated, we will explore other markets, such as Zhanjiang, Lianjiang, Maoming and other places in Guangdong. There should be a market for our tiles."

Deng Yungui nodded repeatedly and said eagerly, "With a stable sales channel, it will be hard for us not to make a fortune!"

Seeing his smug look, Deng Shirong didn't want to pour cold water on him, so he agreed: "Well, if you and I become millionaires, we should have hope."

The value of a 10,000-yuan household is still very good. Deng Yungui smiled until his eyes narrowed and said, "Uncle Jiu, the workers have been looking forward to getting their wages for a long time. Let's do some calculations first to see how much money we have earned from these kiln goods."

Deng Shirong nodded, and then the two bosses of the tile factory started to settle the accounts in this temporary office.

The workers at the tile factory watched from afar, with anticipation in their eyes. They all knew how much their wages were, and if their wages could be paid today, they would have to have an extra meal in the evening no matter what.

Because everyone present here has never earned so much money in their lives.
