The Era of Hard Work

These days, whether a village can get rich or not depends on the leader. There is a saying that describes the countryside, which is actually the most appropriate - the train runs fast, all depends on the headband!

A good leader can change the fate of a village.

Songjia Village to the south of Lujia Village is a well-known wealthy village in Qingzhao. It is famous for running iron and selling iron. It was first brought up by the old village chief in the late 1980s, and now it has formed a small-scale steel market.

Like the East King mentioned by Lu Zhenlin, could it be so.

But it is one thing for a leader to dare to act boldly. At the same time, it is commendable to be able to hold back and not toss around.

It is better to do nothing than to encounter chaos.

The predecessor of Liu Mingquan in Liuwan Village raised funds to build a copper and aluminum foundry, but he only thought about opening the factory, but he didn't even find a market before investing.

Even if Lujia Village is determined to do braised cooking, even if it has a series of natural advantages, there is still a difficult way to go.

In the next two days, Lu Dong wrote whenever he wanted to, and racked his brains to roughly write about the model of opening a branch. Lujia Village is just learning to walk, and it is most realistic to do a good job in the surrounding area of ​​Qingzhao County, attracting people to join. It's too far away, the way of branch direct sales is more correct.

It is winter now, and storage and transportation are convenient. In the counties not far away and surrounding counties, Xiaojialing can solve the transportation problem by hanging a trailer.

After all, the road is to go step by step.

In the past, both Qingzhao and Quannan had grown cooked food chains. The latter was called Shengdu, which is familiar to Quannan people. There are branches in many residential areas and supermarkets.

The former is called Cheng Yizhai, and its scale and grandeur are equal.

Now, there will be no more Cheng Yizhai.

When Lu Dong inquired about Cheng Lifeng's news, he heard a few words that the founder of Cheng Yizhai once went to the south, and he might never come back in his life.

The New Year is getting closer, and the temperature is always accompanied by changes in Siberia's cold air. People who live outside, when they hear the name of Siberia's cold current in the weather forecast, their brains hurt.

The weather was cooling down again. Lu Dong came to the market in the morning. He set up the stewed pork pancake stall first, and then went to Xuefu Wenyuan to pull the spicy hot pot stall. The construction site was still under construction, and he still had to go in through the sales floor.

When passing the prefabricated house, there was a familiar big crown parked in front of the prefabricated house.

Lu Dong took a look and saw that there was no one in the car, and he didn't stop. He rode his bike directly to the house, and within a short distance, the two of them came face to face.

The person walking in front had fair skin, painted eyebrows and lips, had long wavy hair, was wearing a beige woolen jacket, and his half-heeled boots rattled on the concrete floor.

She looks like a beautiful female student in the senior year of an art academy.

When this woman saw Lu Dong, she took the initiative to say hello: Lu Dong!

Sister Juan. Lu Dong stopped the car to say hello.

Zhao Juanjuan came over and asked, Is this to pull something?

Lu Dong got out of the car and explained briefly: The house that Mr. Qian sold to me has been used as a temporary warehouse.

Zhao Juanjuan's smile was as bright as ever: This is good, it saves me from running back and forth.

Lu Dong asked, Where is Mr. Qian?

I came by myself. Zhao Juanjuan said simply, I'm here to ask for the bill.

Lu Dong looked at Zhao Juanjuan and said, It's not easy to ask for debts. These days, those who owe debts are all uncles, especially Party A.

Zhao Juanjuan sighed lightly: Who says it's not! There's no way, what should I do if I don't come to the door? The Chinese New Year is less than two months away, workers' wages, materials suppliers' debts, all need money! The old money is newly received at the East Business Center A lot of money needs to be put into a project, and some of the debts here will not come up for a long time.

As in the market, when Zhao Juanjuan encountered a problem, she habitually said a few words to Lu Dong: The old money has to focus on the project of the business center. I can't just be idle all day and just come here to run accounts. I am a woman. Yes, it’s not shameful to say something begging for help, and people don’t care if it’s said too much, and there’s a buffer between Party A and Lao Qian, and if I’m really bad, Lao Qian will come to cover it.”

Lu Dong understood, Zhao Juanjuan didn't want to be a rich and leisurely wife.

Party A has money? Lu Dong asked, Can you give it to me a year ago?

Zhao Juanjuan told the truth: If you have money, you can say you have no money. I guess, it will have to be delayed until the 27th and 8th of the twelfth lunar month. If you can give money, it's good. If you can't make it, you have to pay for it with the house. It's a headache to think about it. .”

Lu Dong suddenly remembered about the debt, and said, Sister Juan, I still owe a total of 20,000 yuan. If you are anxious to use the money, I will pay it back in two days...

No need! Zhao Juanjuan waved her hand angrily: You just need to calm down. If necessary, I will go directly to the market to find you.

In their situation, more than 20,000 is not too much, and less than 20,000 is not too much.

Lu Dong said: Okay, just go to the market to find me if you need money, and I will give it to you at any time.

Zhao Juanjuan said again: No rush.

The two chatted for a while, Zhao Juanjuan went to the big crown to go to other places, and Lu Dong brought things back to the market.

After setting up the stall, it was only a little after ten o'clock, and there was no one in the market for the time being. When Lu Dong turned on the stove and boiled the soup, Jiao Shougui, Jiao Sanhei, and Qiao Weiguo all gathered together to keep warm.

Lao Liu didn't come? Lu Dong glanced to the north.

Jiao Shougui rubbed his hands and said, Old Liu and his son will have a small meeting tomorrow, so we have to make preparations in advance. I guess they won't come in these two days. I heard from Old Liu that we will meet again a year ago.

Lu Dong said: Life is a major event, you can't be careless.

But Jiao Shougui said: Chinese New Year is coming soon. Lao Liu is having a hard time this year. The small meetings increase the number of meetings. The little money Lao Liu earned from setting up a stall in the past few months must be spent.

Jiao Sanhei asked concerned: How much does the woman want?

Lu Dong thought for a while and said, The normal market here is at least five or six thousand.

Jiao Sanhei was stunned: If you don't have money, you can't even find a wife.

You're not talking nonsense! Jiao Shougui unconsciously raised his voice, If you have no money, you can be a stable bachelor.

Jiao Sanhei didn't care, and asked the bald head: Wei Guo, you are about the same age, have you ever thought about finding a wife?

Qiao Weiguo shook his bald head: I still have something to do, so I won't think about it until I finish it.

What's the matter? Jiao Shougui was curious: What is more important than finding a wife?

Qiao Weiguo touched his bald head and smiled, but did not answer.

Jiao Shougui brought the topic back to Lao Liu again: Old Liu and his son are looking for people from our area, which is good. There are more people in the north, but in the border of Beihe, there are so many rules that can make people annoying, not only money , There are all kinds of things to ask for, the woman asks the man to eat, and the man has to bring the banquet by himself, eight plates and six big bowls, not counting wine.

Lu Dong was curious: Is this always the case?

People say it's a custom, and most of them are like this. Jiao Shougui said: There is a man in my village who is looking for Beihe's wife, and he almost died before getting married.

Jiao Sanhei sighed: It's not easy to get married. He looked up at the sky: I think it's good to be alone.

Jiao Shougui gave him a slap on the back of the head: What nonsense are you talking about! You are still young. When you are two years older, the three aunts and five aunts will ask you when they see you. You can't lift your head when you ask.

Lu Dong smiled and said, Brother Jiao, is this your personal experience?

Jiao Shougui admitted, saying: If you are not married, you will be married. If you are married, you will have a baby. The first child is a girl, and you will have a second child. This Chinese New Year is not a Chinese New Year, but a catastrophe!

Lu Dong comforted, Brother Jiao, our days will get better.

Jiao Shougui nodded: Calling to the university town to set up a stall, life is much easier. When business is good, the money earned in a day is equivalent to a month of eating at the public house. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

Lu Dong didn't answer because he saw Du Xiaobing coming from the south.

Du Xiaobing is wearing a black Nike sportswear, and he can be recognized at a glance from a long distance.

When he came to the booth, Lu Dong greeted him: Old Du, I haven't seen you for a while.

When Jiao Shougui and the others saw that Lu Dong had friends coming, they quickly dispersed.

Du Xiaobing smiled, as sunny as always: I stayed home for a few days. My cousin told my dad about my borrowing money to buy a shop. My dad asked me to go back and ask, and praised me for my good vision. Since childhood, he He rarely compliments me.

Lu Dong joked: I didn't give you any reward.

If you don't train me, you will be rewarded the most. Du Xiaobing is in a good mood and cheerful: I can still ask him for a car? Just break my leg.

He focused on one thing: After a while, my cousin may come to take a look. She said that the university city has a good prospect.

Lu Dong understands that as time goes by, more and more people will pay attention to the university town: To invest?

Du Xiaobing said, Come and take a look first.

Lu Dong remembered something and asked, Old Du, when are you going to have winter vacation?

Around January 20th. Du Xiaobing thought about it carefully: There will be a holiday on the seventh or eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

He looked at his watch and said, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll pick some skewers. Don't delay Ning Xue's lunch. She likes your Mala Tang very much. She was full of praise after eating it last time.

Lu Dong was not polite to him: You choose by yourself, whatever dish you want, take it and cook it yourself.

Du Xiaobing got busy, very motivated and caring.

While he was busy, he said: You are asking about the winter vacation, because you are considering business? As far as I know, most schools start to have vacations in the twelfth lunar month.

Lu Dong said: My business here depends on the students. When the students go home on vacation, I guess I have to take the vacation too.

Du Xiaobing understood Lu Dong: It's been so long before the Chinese New Year, you have a holiday? Don't do anything else.

Lu Dong told the truth: There must be something to do, I haven't thought about it yet.

If the village is going to cook the water, it will probably be busy for a while, but this kind of thing has to be led by the third grandfather.

Du Xiaobing said: What do you want to do, I'll go to your place to work, so that I can save myself from being trained when I go home.

Lu Dong smiled: I'll talk about it when I figure out what to do.

Okay! Then you call my cell phone.

Du Xiaobing picked out the skewers, brushed them with sauce, put them in a convenient pocket, and went out of the market to the Art Academy.

Just as he was going out, a brand new moped came over and stopped at the gate of the market, and a middle-aged man with big ears came down.

Lu Dong took a look, Qingqi 125, how many days has this guy been riding a new motorcycle?

It doesn't seem so strange, after all, that fat woman has contributed a lot.

On the one hand, the big-eared middle-aged man went to Qiao Weiguo's to buy two stewed pork biscuits as before.

The difference is that I ordered twelve ordinary biscuits.

After leaving the market, the middle-aged man got on a motorcycle, turned onto Wenhua Road, and headed north.
