Chapter 11 Arrangements

April.

Spring is coming.

Li Zhongxin got up when he heard the chicken.

The sky was blue, the grass in front of the window and behind the house had turned green, and there was a sense of revival of all things, but Li Zhongxin was still in a bad mood.

Looking at his third uncle who was sleeping soundly, he pushed and pushed him, and woke Wang Bo very roughly.

After asking his third uncle Wang Bo to bring back the fish that he left in Dong Zhiguo's country yesterday, he acted like a capitalist. He didn't even let Wang Bo eat, and just sent Wang Bo and Dong Zhiguo to go fishing on the river.

Li Zhongxin told Wang Bo that the morning was the most fishy time, so he and Dong Zhiguo got up early to go fishing. They caught a three-net and four-net fish and sold them in the market.

Breakfast and lunch are two in one. The two of them can eat something good at a hotel in the city, but the accounts must be clear and they cannot drink. The money they spend is what they spend.

The remaining money must be saved and put away. He will ask Feng Xiaowu to collect the money from Wang Bo. He will use the money to continue to purchase items such as hanging nets and kite boards. According to what he and Dong Guozhong discussed, production must be expanded as soon as possible.

Last night, Li Zhongxin had a very unhappy sleep at his third uncle Wang Bo's house. Not to mention the fact that the windows in Wang Bo's house were not closed tightly and the air leaked out, and he felt cold even under the quilt. There was also the snoring that Wang Bo had after drinking too much wine.

It almost drove Li Zhongxin crazy.

Li Zhongxin had two small dark circles under his eyes and thought silently in his heart that if he came to Zhubantun in the future, he would have to live in a quiet place, otherwise it would affect his health.

As for breakfast, Li Zhongxin didn't even think about eating it at Wang Bo's house. Those rice bowls were full of oil stains and seemed like they couldn't be cleaned out, so he didn't have the idea of ​​having breakfast.

Just when Li Zhongxin was washing his face and packing his things, Feng Xiaowu arrived as promised.

After Li Zhongxin saw Feng Xiaowu, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The military medal contains half of it from him and half from Feng Xiaowu. If Feng Xiaowu hadn't helped him make kite boards since Saturday morning, and if Feng Xiaowu hadn't accompanied him to buy fishing nets, the fishing business might not have gone so smoothly.

"Brother Xiao Wu, there are two big river fish over there. You put them on the handlebars. One of them is yours." At this time, Li Zhongxin was very worried. Not only because Feng Xiaowu would make kite boards for him in the future, but also because

Feng Xiaowu could help him run errands, but simply expressed his gratitude to Feng Xiaowu.

"How can that be done? Absolutely not. You must not give me anything anymore." As soon as Feng Xiaowu saw Li Zhongxin, he heard Li Zhongxin say that he would give him big fish in the river, and his head shook like a rattle.

He was still resentful about the fact that Li Zhongxin bought him a box of good cigarettes and invited him to have a meal at Si Pa Restaurant in the city. Now Li Zhongxin actually wanted to give him another chance.

Fish, he felt that he couldn't bear this.

Now that the river has just been opened, river fish are very rare. Last night, he heard from his neighbor that the larger fish sold in the city's food has been two or three times the usual price, and the most expensive fish has even reached

Seventy-eight cents.

The two live fish placed by Li Zhongxin weighed at least five or six kilograms each. Because they were live fish, the price would be higher. Feng Xiaowu estimated that such a fish could be sold for at least five yuan.

Feng Xiaowu is now nineteen years old. Although he is also greedy for meat and delicious food, Feng Xiaowu will never dare to accept such precious things.

Seeing Feng Xiaowu hurriedly refusing, Li Zhongxin was speechless for a while.

Li Zhongxin told Feng Xiaowu to hang the fish first, and then slowly started talking to Feng Xiaowu.

He told Feng Xiaowu that this was the fish he and his third uncle caught in the river yesterday, and it was not bought with money. Giving Feng Xiaowu a piece of fish was also a way for him to taste something new.

The number of fish caught yesterday was not bad, and it is estimated that we can make some small income every day. In the future, Feng Xiaowu will need to make the kite board and the string board in his hand. If he refuses to give him such a fish, he will be really unhappy.

Seeing Feng Xiaowu reluctantly agree, Li Zhongxin immediately asked Feng Xiaowu to send the fish home while the iron was hot.

After Feng Xiaowu sent the fish home, Li Zhongxin did not let Feng Xiaowu send him and the fish home. Instead, he asked Feng Xiaowu to take him directly to the Yuanlong Baozi shop opposite Jiangcheng Xinhua Bookstore for breakfast.

While having breakfast, Li Zhongxin made it clear that he was a primary school student and his parents were under strict supervision, so he could not do many things. The production of kite boards must continue, and at least thirty more must be made.

Kite board.

Over at the fishing net, I'll wait for Feng Xiaowu to go there during his lunch break and tell Lao Ge to hurry up and make the 70-and-a-half-inch hanging net.

He not only needs a seventy-meter-long hanging net here, but also needs a large number of them. He doesn't care if Lao Ge increases his manpower, recruits more apprentices, or has other methods. Anyway, there is only one, and he must get it for him at least every week.

One or two hanging nets 70 meters long.

If there is a three-row hanging net with a large mesh length of more than 70 meters, after Lao Ge makes it, he will buy it at a high price.

Feng Xiaowu knew Wang Bo and even knew the address of Wang Bo's home. He told Feng Xiaowu that he wanted him to go to the market and the state-owned non-staple food store to see the price of river fish in the market, and to go to Zhubantun to remind Wang Bo of the price.

Don’t miss the high prices during the few days of fishing.

Li Zhongxin vaguely felt that the first time he and Wang Bo sold fish here in Jiangcheng, it was cheaper. Otherwise, the fish would never sell so fast.

Moreover, if Feng Xiaowu went to Zhubantun for a walk, if there were any problems with his third uncle, he would be able to give him feedback in time.

Hanging the net is not a panacea. In many cases, if it is hung up by rocks, or it encounters a large tree branch drifting down from the upstream, it is easy to cause problems. If the fishing net is broken, you can take it to Lao Ge for repair.

In short, we cannot delay fishing at this time.

He also told Feng Xiaowu that early on Friday morning, he would bring him the money earned by his third uncle Wang Bo from fishing this week and the bills he had written down, so that he could allocate the money to buy a new hanging net.

Li Zhongxin made it clear to Feng Xiaowu that kite boards are not made in vain. Li Zhongxin would give him two yuan for every completed kite board and string board.

There are many board manufacturers that make kite boards, but none of them can use the whole board. They can just make it with the leftover materials that the builders have.

This thing has no cost, it is just a greeting to my father, but the size and quality must be the same as the first kite board.

Li Zhongxin didn't have much idea about the value of the kite board. The technical content of this kind of thing was not high. It was just about the size of the holes on the kite board and the distance between the thick fishing lines on the kite board. It was useless.

How long will it take for someone to imitate this kind of kite board? The most critical thing is the fishing net and after-sales service.

Li Zhongxin was not short of money, so when he had the opportunity to have a meal at a state-owned bun shop, he naturally ordered more. In the 1980s, Li Zhongxin had never eaten at such a state-owned breakfast restaurant, and he didn't know what it was like at this time.

How big the buns were. Thinking about the two of them, they ordered eight buns.

Four home-style big buns and four big meat buns.

Home-made steamed buns cost 1 dime and 40 cents each. Each bun weighs about 226, so four buns cost one tael of food stamps. Big meat buns cost 1 dime 9, and four buns weigh exactly one kilogram, which also costs one tael of food stamps. Although Li Zhongxin feels that

I was very hungry, but my eyes were big but my belly was small. After eating two buns, I couldn’t eat anymore.

After the remaining six big buns were eaten by Feng Xiaowu, who had already had breakfast at home, Feng Xiaowu's face was filled with a kind of happiness and joy. Feng Xiaowu even had such a feeling in his heart that he just didn't eat for a day and his whole body was full of...
