Chapter 209 211 If you have money but don’t have money, marry a wife to celebrate the New Year.
"I'm going to take a look." Li Xiangyang pushed the cart to the backyard and saw Brother Yong sorting out the stall fees he received today. "I went to your house to see it. It's in good repair!"
Brother Yong raised his head and smiled: "Do you think those furniture are okay?"
"Not bad, it will look better when it is painted." Li Xiangyang said with a smile.
Brother Yong took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Li Xiangyang: "Brother Shui Qing came here this morning and told you that the market here must be closed at the end of January. He also said that each of the four markets would leave a meat stall for you.
, five stalls, only the sanitation fee is paid, and the stall fee is exempted for three years.”
Li Xiangyang took the letter, put it in his pocket, and looked at Brother Yong: "Tell Brother Shui Qing, it's good to have a few free stalls, I'm satisfied."
"Well! I heard from Zhilin that Uncle Lin is here. I want to go to Lin Lan's house in the afternoon and meet Uncle Lin."
"It's time to meet." Li Xiangyang looked at him and said with a smile, "I plan to wait for Uncle Lin to go back, and Xiaolan and I will go to Shilian together. We will also get engaged in the twelfth lunar month."
Brother Yong looked at him cheerfully: "Okay! The date Grandma Yang showed me is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Are we getting engaged on the same day?"
As the old saying goes, it’s the New Year after Laba. If you have money but don’t have money, it’s better to marry a wife to celebrate the New Year! He originally thought that he would end up alone in this life, but he didn’t expect that he would be forty by the time the New Year comes. He can still find a wife.
own home.
Li Xiangyang smiled and shook his head: "The date has not been determined yet. My old man asked me to go to Xiaolan's house today to get the horoscopes, and he will go find the husband to choose a good day."
Brother Yong opened the drawer and took the money: "The things here are almost done. I'm going to buy something. Let's go together."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "Okay! Let's go to Hou Tiejiang's to pick up the table I ordered."
"Is the barbecue and hot pot table that Lin Lan asked you to cook ready?"
"Yeah! I also ordered a few copper hotpots in mandarin duck basins. When they are ready, you will have one for each family."
"These days, copper hotpot is so good! I had it in the army, and I almost burst my stomach with thinly sliced mutton, pork belly, meatballs..."
"Then let's go back and get some tube bones and have hot pot at Xiaolan's tonight."
The two went out together, Li Xiangyang took big bones and pig's feet, Brother Yong bought a knife of meat and two bottles of wine, and they rode towards Lin Lan's house together.

Lin Changyou stayed at Lin Lan's house for two days and saw that she was busy until more than ten o'clock every night before going to bed and getting up after five o'clock in the morning. Only then did he understand why Wu Shufen wanted to help her find someone.
Seeing the old pumpkins, large white beans, peas, and small red beans that she used every day, I suddenly thought of my sister-in-law Wu Huifen, who had a lot of these things, but it was a pity that there was no place to exchange money.
"Xiaolan, your aunt doesn't plant enough millet, but you have quite a lot of old pumpkins and large white beans that you want to use. I want your aunt to plant more crops next spring. What do you think?"
"Okay! Next year I plan to open a pastry shop on He Limin Road in the south of the city. I will need more pumpkins and beans. I am still worried that there will be so many people selling food next year that I will not be able to buy raw materials.
!
Lin Lan paused for a moment and continued, "There are also soybeans. Sister Liying and the others also need them. And your shop in the east of the city should also prepare dry goods and specialties."
Lin Lan remembered reading a report before, saying that in the early days of opening up, all walks of life were like a dry sponge. If there was just a little bit of water, it would absorb it with all its strength, leaving nothing behind.
In fact, the fastest way to earn money is from clothing, department stores, small household appliances, watches, sewing machines, radio cassette players...
Why don't you and Xiangyang go to Yangcheng and get some electronic watches, cassette players, and radios to sell back?
Lin Changyou frowned after hearing this: "You said last time about selling souvenirs, like our own cured pork ribs, bacon, cured chicken, salted duck, cured goose, mushrooms, Sichuan peppercorns, vine peppers, etc. What kind of dry goods are there?
Plant it?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Dry goods include aniseed, star anise, grass fruits, anise, fennel...white beans, beans, peanuts...bamboo shoots are all there!"
She remembered that Yulin, Guangxi, had the most aniseed ingredients in the past. There was also a wholesale market for dry groceries in the provincial capital. She really didn't know where it was now.
Lin Changyou thought for a while and felt that some things were available in the mountains, and some seemed not to be available. He had to ask before he knew: "Even if these things are available in the mountains, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect them all in a while. How about renting a shop first?"
Give it to others, and we will open it again after everything is collected."
Lin Lan said: "You go back and discuss it with Big Brother and the others. We have just been liberalized here. How can we open a shop? What certificates are needed? I'll ask Xiang Yang to find out."
Lin Lan remembered that the first business license was issued by the Wenzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau. She didn't know if it could be applied for here. To open a shop, you must first apply for a business license. If you were caught operating without a license, you would be in trouble.
Chief Lin nodded slightly: "Okay, about the pumpkin beans, I will bring a message to your aunt when I get back and ask her to talk to the people on their team. Plant more next year and we will go in and collect them."
Lin Lan thought about how many places in the mountains these days had no roads, and transportation relied entirely on manual labor and mules and horses. They would go out before dawn and only arrive in the city after dark.
If there is a road at your aunt's place, you can buy a tractor and go there specifically to collect mountain goods and sell them.
"Dad, can a tractor be driven in at Auntie's place?"
Lin Changyou shook his head repeatedly: "There is no way to drive a tractor in. Most of the roads into the mountains are not as wide as the fields on your side."
Lin Lan also sighed: "We can only use mules and horses to carry them out. You ask them to make more red potato flour and potato flour. The dry goods shop also needs it." If you want to be rich, you must build roads first, otherwise many good things in the mountains will not be able to be brought out.
Exchange money.
The forest chief nodded: "It's okay for mules and horses to carry the goods, but they are afraid that no one will want the things after they get them, and they will not be able to get money for the hard work! I don't dare to vouch for others, but they can still trust my own family."
Lin Lan finished washing her clothes, put the small red beans and large white beans into the pot, and left the kitchen. She saw Lin Changyou coming back from cutting bamboo and making brush handles in the courtyard dam, and Lin Yuezhen picking ramie leaves.
Thinking of the sweet-skinned duck they had eaten at Yang Liqun's house that day, both Douzi and Lin Changyou said it was delicious. He said hello to the two of them and then rode to Zhao's house in the second team, intending to buy sweet-skinned duck and come back for lunch.
The Zhao family lived in the bamboo forest behind Yang Liqun's house. Before they reached it, the smell of braised meat hit their nostrils.
Lin Lan stood at the door of Zhao's courtyard and saw ducks being killed in the yard: "Boss, I'm buying sweet-skinned ducks."
A skinny little old lady came out with a smile on her face: "Ouch! I'm sorry, I sold all the things in the morning and only got them at three in the afternoon. Where do you live? If it's nearby, I'll leave it for you in the afternoon.
"
"My team lives next to the tractor road. Leave two for me and I'll pick them up at six in the afternoon!" Lin Lan said, taking two dollars and handing them to her, "This is the deposit."
