At four o'clock in the early morning of the next day, Li You got up early to make cold noodle skins!
There was no choice. These days the family was going to build a house, so Li You could only get up earlier to avoid being seen when making cold noodle skins.
After all, it was really not allowed to set up a stall at present, and he had been rather high-profile during this period. If someone saw him, maybe some narrow-minded people would secretly report him to the commune behind his back.
Although Li You was not afraid of these things, it was still a troublesome thing after all, so it was better to be careful!
At a little past seven o'clock, when the hired commune members came to the Li family, Li You had already finished making both the cold noodle skins and the white-flour pancakes.
Coupled with the large quantity of mountain goods during this period, so the people didn't know at all that in addition to mushrooms and fungus, there were other "prohibited items" on the mule cart.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li You appeared punctually at the entrance of the state-owned restaurant!
The staff in the restaurant had already become familiar with Li You. After seeing the big red mule cart, they immediately came out to welcome.
They knew how much Director Liu valued this young man from the countryside.
Weighing and settling as usual, when Li You came out of the state-owned restaurant, all the baskets of mountain goods had been exchanged for "big unity".
Earning another 650 yuan, Li You's mood was very good.
Going on like this, it wouldn't take long for him to become the first ten-thousand-yuan household in the village.
Of course, what Li You valued was not the ten-thousand-yuan household, but the original accumulation of capital.
As a successful businessman, Li You clearly knew that some people clearly had the ability and were not lacking in opportunities, but why they could only live like corporate slaves from nine to five for the whole life.
One very important reason was that the original accumulation of capital could not be completed. Without this start-up capital, no matter how good the idea was and how powerful the ability was, it could not be Exhibition.
Seeing that the curtain of reform and opening up had already been opened, if not unexpectedly, this year the Wenzhou area would carry out the pilot reform of the private-owned economy, and a large number of individual industrial and commercial households emerged like mushrooms after rain.
Taking this as an opportunity, within just a few years, the economy across the country would enter the fast lane.
From that time on, doing business was no longer a competition of whose courage was greater, but whose capital was stronger and whose vision was unique.
Therefore, Li You secretly made up his mind that he must accumulate enough corresponding capital before this.
After coming out of the state-owned restaurant, Li You went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
These days when building a house at home, not only had to give the artificial money to those who helped, but also had to provide meals.
After all, it was inviting people to come and help, and the wages given were not high, and the food must be passable.
So Li You decided to purchase some things like tofu and vermicelli to take back, so that people couldn't say that their old Li family was too stingy.
More than a dozen people were cooking at home, and the things consumed every day were really too much, so the supplies Li You purchased today were really quite a lot.
In addition to about ten catties of tofu and seven or eight catties of dry vermicelli, Li You also bought ten catties of meat, two big bags of nearly a hundred catties of strong flour, and a bag of fifty catties of rice, which filled a small half-cart in total.
But he didn't care. With the speed at which he made money every day now, a mere few dozen yuan really wasn't anything.
And while Li You was busy making a big purchase at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Hong also came to the state-owned restaurant on a bicycle.
After he went back yesterday, he called several educated youths with good personal friendships and told them that he had found a way to make money.
Knowing that Xu Hong had a way to sell the unwanted mushrooms in the back mountain to thirty cents a catty, these educated youths were all extremely happy and immediately went straight to the back mountain after handing in the task.
It's just that the mushrooms on the various nearby hills in the village these days had all been picked by Dongzi and Shi Tou and them, and the mushrooms that were originally all over the ground were now very few.
Helplessly, Xu Hong and others could only go deep into the mountains to look for.
Because Li You firmly didn't allow the children to go deep into the forest to avoid danger, it really made Xu Hong and others find several mushroom trays.
With great effort, Xu Hong and others finally picked several baskets.
Thinking that so many mushrooms could be sold for at least fifty or sixty yuan at the least, and even if a part was distributed to other educated youths, he could at least earn twenty or thirty yuan himself. Xu Hong was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, he borrowed a bicycle and tied the mushrooms to the back seat with a snakeskin bag and went straight to the county town.
In order not to let Li You know that he was undermining his business, Xu Hong didn't come to the state-owned restaurant first. Instead, he quietly came to the entrance of the restaurant after Li You had delivered the goods.
Seeing Xu Hong push the door and come in, the staff member of the restaurant immediately asked, "Comrade, we don't sell breakfast here..."
Xu Hong hurriedly said, "Hello, comrade. I'm not here to eat. I'm here to deliver mushrooms to you!"
"Deliver mushrooms?"
That staff member immediately understood that this person should be here to sell mushrooms. Thinking of the notice from Director Liu yesterday, he immediately said, "Sorry to inform you that we don't accept mushrooms here now!"
"No... not accepting anymore?"
Xu Hong was suddenly a little confused and hurriedly said, "Wasn't it all right yesterday? Why suddenly not accepting anymore?"
"Sorry, this is the decision of our leader. I don't know!"
"That's not right. I just saw someone come to sell mushrooms. Why do you accept his but not mine? This isn't fair..."
"Comrade, whether to accept mushrooms or whose mushrooms to accept is the business of our state-owned restaurant. Please don't make a fuss here!"
The staff member was also annoyed by Xu Hong's pestering, and his tone became a little stiff when speaking.
At this time, Liu Jingshan just came out of the office and heard the commotion here. He immediately came over to check the situation.
"Xiao Li, what happened?"
"Director, this comrade is here to sell mushrooms. I told him that our store doesn't accept mushrooms anymore, and he is not happy!" Xiao Li said truthfully.
Liu Jingshan took a look at Xu Hong and then said, "It's like this, comrade. The size of our state-owned restaurant is not big. The mushrooms purchased now are already enough for our consumption. So we no longer accept mushrooms from outside. You'd better go and look elsewhere!"
"How can you do this? For the same mushrooms, why do you accept others' but not mine?" Xu Hong was extremely angry in his heart, and his voice couldn't help but be much louder.
Liu Jingshan thought that this matter should not be made a big deal to avoid affecting the reputation of their state-owned restaurant. In addition, considering it was not easy for him to pick mushrooms, he immediately asked, "How many mushrooms did you bring? If the quality is passable, we will accept it today, but only this time and no more next time!"
When Xu Hong heard this, he was immediately relieved in his heart.
Although it could only be sold once, which was still a little different from what he thought, at least the ones picked yesterday were sold, and he could also give an account to other educated youths.
In addition, Xu Hong was also calculating in his heart that as long as that rascal was removed, no one would deliver mushrooms to the state-owned restaurant. Could they still not want the ones he delivered then!
Thinking of this, Xu Hong immediately went to the bicycle outside and moved the tightly bound several snakeskin bags into the restaurant.
When Liu Jingshan saw that he actually used a snakeskin bag to hold mushrooms, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart!
