Following the second brother, you can eat meat and make money. This is the true knowledge Huang Xiaogang gained during this period.
"Well, I'm going to open a leather shoe store and sell leather shoes." Xu Erlong said.
"Selling leather shoes?" Queteeth said with a smile, "The kind of pointed leather shoes? The kind that make a clicking sound when walking?"
These days, if ordinary people have a pair of leather shoes, they cherish them very much.
It's just that some people have problems when walking. They can't tell it at ordinary times, but if they walk a lot, the soles of their shoes will wear out. If you don't believe me, take a look at the soles of your feet. Is one side severely worn?
If it wears out too much, it will feel awkward when walking, so you will find a shoe repairman to fix a piece of rubber.
It later developed to the point where when everyone bought new leather shoes, they would first go to the shoe repairman and have a semicircular horseshoe nailed on them, commonly known as an iron shoe.
In this way, the shoes are durable and can be worn for several years or ten without being completely worn out.
But when walking normally, the iron palm hits the ground, making a clicking sound, which is particularly exciting.
"Yes, that's the kind." Xu Erlong replied.
"Let's go and sell leather shoes." Huang Xiaogang shouted, rushing forward impatiently.
Xu Erlong laughed and walked out with Qian Ya and Yu Ping.
"Two dragons." Huang Zhengnong smiled and smoked a cigarette, standing in front.
Judging from his posture, this was not a chance encounter. He was clearly waiting for Xu Erlong here.
"Captain Huang." Xu Erlong greeted him politely.
"Come on, Erlong, smoke." Huang Zhengnong took his cigarette and motioned for Xu Erlong to smoke.
Xu Erlong waved his hand. Smoking is not good. He rarely smokes. He only smokes one or two occasionally when socializing outside.
He politely handed Huang Zhengnong a cigarette and said, "Captain Huang, you have a lot of free time today."
"Yes, it's quite leisurely. It's almost rotten with leisure." Huang Zhengnong laughed. After laughing, he slightly lowered his tone and said to Xu Erlong: "You have also seen that now that we are free, most of the villagers
They all get together to play cards."
Xu Erlong said nothing and listened quietly to what Huang Zhengnong said.
"Well, playing cards every day is not a good thing. Yesterday, Old Yang's family made a fuss over playing cards. His daughter-in-law was so angry that she drank pesticide and wanted to commit suicide." Huang Zhengnong sighed.
Although the villagers had a small fight, winning or losing a few cents or a few yuan.
But this money still became the fuse of family conflicts.
"It's true that gambling is not good." Xu Erlong said.
"How about you think of a way?" Huang Zhengnong looked at him.
Xu Erlong's eyes widened.
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
The villagers had enough time to play cards, what could he do?
"Erlong, during this period, we all know that you have made some money." Huang Zhengnong smoked a cigarette: "You have made money, do you think no one is jealous?"
Xu Erlong frowned slightly. If he made money, some people would be jealous.
Therefore, he was in a hurry to move to the city and even rented in a guest house, just to stay away from the villagers and not want to attract the jealousy of others.
In this world, all jealousy comes from the people around you.
Looking at the people on the rich list, no one will be jealous of them even if they are as rich as the country. After all, they have nothing to do with each other. They can only be envious, not jealous.
But if a classmate or neighbor around you makes money, the idea is different. Even if you make a small amount of money, it will arouse all kinds of jealousy.
"It was me who suppressed those who were jealous, and beat them overtly and covertly, so that they could be capable and find ways to make money on their own, and don't just focus on the jealous people," Huang Zhengnong said.
He is an old captain of the production team. Although he doesn't have much power now, he still worries about these people.
"Uncle, thank you very much for this." Xu Erlong thanked him sincerely.
"But not everyone in this village has the ability to find ways to make money." Huang Zhengnong sighed: "So, Xu Erlong, can you help me?"
Huang Xiaogang shouted from the side: "Don't say it so nicely, you are also worried about your son losing money playing cards."
Huang Zhengnong was not embarrassed when Huang Xiaogang revealed the truth in such a loud voice.
He coughed softly: "Yes, my son is not good enough, and he is also playing cards. I am afraid that I will lose my ambition by playing with things, and this trend will become more and more crooked in the future. So, Xu Erlong, I will give up my old face today and come to discuss with you."
Let’s discuss whether we can find some way to lead everyone to do something together. Just like when you harvested eels a while ago, everyone has some energy and can make some income. Of course, you make a lot of money and eat meat, so that everyone can have a little bit of money.
Just drink the soup and that’ll be fine.”
Huang Zhengnong blushed as he spoke: "Of course, it would be better if you are willing to take my son with you."
After hearing what he said so much, Xu Erlong probably understood in his heart.
He said to Huang Zhengnong: "Uncle, I understand what you mean. I'll do the sum total later."
"Then you have to take it to heart." Huang Zhengnong warned again and again.
"Well, definitely." Xu Erlong said, seeing that it was getting late, he had to take people back to the city quickly.
"Huang Xiaogang, it's late now. Your sister will be out of school soon, right?" Xu Erlong remembered this: "You don't have to go to the city with me today. You can take care of your sister at home."
When Huang Xiaogang heard this, his eyes turned red.
Why doesn't the second brother call him for anything now?
"Second brother, I can do it." Huang Xiaogang assured him, patting his thin chest.
"I know you can do it." Xu Erlong smiled: "Today, take good care of your sister at home. After she goes to school tomorrow, you can come to the city to find me again, remember?"
Huang Xiaogang was relieved: "Yes, I remember."
He was really afraid that his second brother would think he was incompetent and would not need him in the future.
Xu Erlong took Qian Ya and Yu Ping to the city first, so they could stay in the city and stay in a hotel together at night.
The three of them hurried back to the city.
It was already dark by this time.
Xu Erlong led the two of them to the front room first.
When the lights were turned on, the fluorescent lamp illuminated the entire room in a spacious and majestic manner. Both Qian Tooth and Yu Ping squinted their eyes slightly.
"It's really good to be in the city. If you are at home right now and it's dark, you should go to bed in the dark to save money on kerosene." Miss Tooth looked at her own reflection in the light and felt silly and happy.
"You'll be able to sleep in a while." Xu Erlong smiled: "Let's work."
Now, he had to seize the time to build these shoe cabinet display racks and complete the basic layout.
A few young people were quick and active in their work. After building it for most of the night, the prototype of the display cabinet was finally completed around twelve o'clock in the evening.
This is considered a hard furnishing, just like department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, which have display cabinets for displaying products.
But Xu Erlong put some thought into this display cabinet and did not make it quite satisfactory. Each shelf is at a well-proportioned height.
There is even a row of mirrored glass installed on the lower floor and a set of fluorescent lamps.
When the time comes, put the leather shoes on display and let the light shine on the leather surface. When the light shines on it, there will definitely be a dazzling visual effect.
