The Era of Hard Work

Ningxiu Daji set up a place specially for fireworks and firecrackers, and the sellers are so empty. The space that is half the size of a football field has only five fireworks and firecrackers booths left.

According to the most normal and common situation, the price of fireworks and firecrackers in Daji should be increased.

However, the relevant departments have made heavy blows to rectify fireworks and firecrackers, so they naturally thought of maintaining market order.

As soon as the illegal sellers were taken away, some industrial and commercial personnel came to Lu Dong's booth.

Who's the boss? The man looked at Lu Jianren. After all, Lu Jianren was the oldest and still had a ruffian air.

Lu Jianren didn't bother to start a conversation, and pointed to Lu Dong.

This person was somewhat surprised. Among the five, he was the youngest except for the pretty girl.

Lu Dong could vaguely guess his intention, and asked, Hello, what's the matter?

The industrial and commercial staff gave Lu Dong a notice and said very solemnly: Until the New Year's Eve, the prices will follow the normal sales prices for these days. It is strictly forbidden to raise prices indiscriminately, and it is strictly forbidden to disturb the market order!

Understood. Lu Dong assured: We will never increase the price randomly.

The industrial and commercial personnel nodded and went to other stalls.

Lu Jianren frowned and muttered, It's too lenient!

Lu Dong reminded: Don't take it seriously, if we dare to raise the price, they will dare to check us! Don't lose the big because of the small.

Song Na echoed: Our profit is high enough, we can't afford it.

A customer from Du Xiaobing's side came over and greeted: What do you want? Two kicks? Firecrackers? Both, come!

Everyone didn't have time to talk anymore. As the uniforms left, people who originally wanted to buy fireworks rushed in. Unlike before, there were more than 30 to choose from, and now there are only five left, and the goods sold are about the same price.

On Lu Dong's side, there were twenty or thirty people surrounding him. Fortunately, there were enough people, and the four of them could handle it together.

It is unrealistic to expect Lu Jianren, who is a speculator all day long, to sell goods. His main task is to keep an eye on the stalls, and there are a lot of petty thefts in big fairs.

Also, some people like to take advantage of petty gains, and put something in their pockets while others are not paying attention.

If you go shopping and don't get some free things, you will feel bad for two days.

There are many people who know Lu Jianren, and he is not a good person, which can scare away many people who have other thoughts.

A total of sixty-two! Lu Dong put the firecrackers and fireworks into two large red convenience bags, and said with a smile, Sixty is enough!

The other person happily took out the money, smiled and left.

Lu Dong went on to deal with the next one, who bought more, asking for more than one hundred yuan.

During the Chinese New Year, fireworks and firecrackers, like all kinds of meat, are just-needed supplies for most families.

For example, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, every village does not let off firecrackers. Except for those whose family members died that year, it is very difficult to find two or three families.

People who buy firecrackers basically buy them all at once, from juniors to 30s to first and fifth grades and then to fifteenth. Six sticks are standard configurations.

Now the minimum is to buy five hundred rings, and many frugal people will spend a year without paying, so they will be more generous during the New Year.

Wubaixiang is a kind of cheap goods that are outsourced with red leather and used newspapers inside. All the stalls here sell them for 5 yuan and 5 yuan, and 6 yuan is 30 yuan.

This is the low allocation for most people to buy firecrackers, which belongs to the minimum consumption standard.

Needless to say, it goes without saying with some fireworks or Ertijiao.

The news of the joint crackdown on illegal fireworks and firecrackers by the public security and industry quickly spread in Daji.

People's first reaction is neither clapping their hands, nor sighing, but that the price will definitely increase in a few days!

There are so many firecrackers in the market, can the price not be raised?

Without further ado, go buy it now!

It has been a long time since Lu Dong experienced the feeling of hand cramp when counting money. Even though he was tempered while selling daily necessities in the university town, his right hand was almost numb from nine o'clock to eleven thirty.

He kept repeating several actions, looking for goods to load, collecting money to find money...

Even the enthusiastic smile gradually disappeared from the back. Firstly, it was not necessary, and secondly, there were too many customers. If I continued to smile, my cheeks would definitely cramp.

Lu Dong, Song Na, and Qiao Weiguo are all easy to talk about. After all, they have worked in the university city for such a long time, so they have been tested for a long time.

Du Xiaobing couldn't bear it any longer, so he took a moment and said, I'm going to take a breather.

Everything else is easy to say, he is a sportsman, and his physical strength is fine, but this mechanical high-frequency movement makes his waist and wrist a little unbearable.

Working and exercising are not the same thing.

Lu Jianren poured Du Xiaobing a glass of water from the thermos bottle he brought: Drink, take your time.

Du Xiaobing stretched out his right hand to take it, the water poured a bit too much, and his wrist was weak, his hand sank, so he quickly took his left hand to hold it.

I used to read books that counted money and I got cramps in my hands. I thought it was an exaggeration. Du Xiaobing changed his left hand to hold the cup: Today I understand it, it's not an exaggeration at all.

From the morning to around 11:30, he didn't know how many customers he received, but he had a vague impression of the money he handled, at least it was more than 6,000.

Look at Lu Dong, Song Na, and Qiao Weiguo. These three people are more familiar with business than him, and they must have handled more money than him.

After drinking some hot water and taking a breath, Du Xiaobing plunged into the stall again and continued his crazy journey of selling goods.

Today's situation gave him a clear signal - doing business with Lu Dong this time will not only make money, but may make a lot of money!

Lu Jianren took the time to unload the boxes from the car, and put them in a place where four people could easily reach them. Boxes were unloaded one by one, and then one by one was emptied. The trailers behind the two motorcycles were already empty, and the tricycle was also going down. More than half of the goods.

Seeing that the four of Lu Dong were so busy, although Lu Jianren was not doing his job properly, he got serious and climbed onto the roof of the tricycle to see what was going on at the big fair.

It was half past twelve, and instead of reducing the number of people, the Daji became more and more crowded.

Looking at the other four fireworks and firecrackers, none of them had less people around them.

This is not speculation, it is clearly money grabbing!

Lu Jianren jumped out of the car, found the motorcycle keys, and said in Lu Dong's ear, I saw that today's big fair won't end until 4 or 5 o'clock, and the goods on the car are not enough to sell! I'll go back to get the goods!

Lu Dong was looking for money, turned around and said: Uncle Qi, there are many people in the gathering, please be careful!

Lu Jianren put on his helmet and gloves, rode a motorcycle around the back of the booth, and turned onto the main road. There were too many people setting up stalls and going to the market on the road, and the motorcycle couldn't drive fast, so he could only move forward.

Qiaojia Village is right on the edge of the county seat, not far away, and it takes 20 minutes to get back and forth. Lu Jianren came back in nearly an hour, and there were only three or four boxes left in the trunk of the motor tricycle.

The cargo on the motorcycle trailer was the same as that of a small mountain. Lu Jianren untied the rope and carried it in front of the four of Lu Dong.

If you want to buy fireworks, you have no choice but to come to these five stalls.

Lu Dong took some time and asked Song Na to have something to eat first. The four of them came in turns. There were too many people and too busy.

Ningxiu Town is the seat of the county, and it is also the most populous place in the county. As the New Year approaches, the festival lasts for a particularly long time.

After two o'clock, Lu Zhenlin came over, and Lu Dong happened to be eating sesame seed cakes in his arms, and the two exchanged a few words.

Your business is good. Lu Zhenlin looked carefully for a while, and there was no shortage of people in front of the stall: It's much better than mine.

Lu Dong swallowed the biscuits in his mouth, and asked, Has the stewed meat stall come to market?

Lu Zhenlin's thick eyebrows were like swords: There are a lot of people at the fair, so I bought some for retail sale. It's okay, but it's almost sold out. It's just that it's not ideal to book new year's goods. There are mobile stalls at the fair. You only pay when you see the goods.

Lu Dong asked with concern: Third Grandfather, how many reservations are there in total?

Lu Zhenlin smiled: There are more than 2,000 barrels. People in our village are highly motivated and try their best to contact buyers. Each factory wants more welfare goods, which is nearly double that of private orders.

Is there any problem with the supply of goods? Lu Dong drank from a water glass.

Enough! Lu Zhenlin said simply: Except for the Meat Factory and Shilibao, we have covered all the goods of the big butchers in the surrounding villages and towns. After the Spring Festival, the goods for the New Year will be delivered one after another. It's easy to handle, put it in a shady place outside, and it will be fine for half a month.

Lu Dong could tell that the third grandpa was in a great mood, and that the start-up company took the first step steadily, and then it would develop well later.

Next year when spring begins, the weather will warm up. Lu Dong reminded: We have to solve the problem of storage and transportation.

Lu Zhenlin said: After the Chinese New Year, I will visit the Dezhou Braised Chicken Factory and see their full cold chain storage and transportation. We have to solve it as soon as possible. When we come down, we will issue official documents after going to work after the Chinese New Year, and we have to build a formal factory building.

Lu Dong calculated silently, and said, We probably have to invest all the money we earn during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Zhenlin was not worried: We did a good job, we seized the good time.

Yes! Lu Dong said, Cheng Lifeng went in, and the market was vacant.

Lu Zhenlin saw that Lu Dong was very busy here, so he didn't stay long, chatted for a few words, then took his leave and left.

Lu Dong drank some water, and once again devoted himself to the busy work of selling goods.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, there were fewer people at the fair, and the number of people in front of the booth also decreased. After four o'clock, there were only a few masters.

Lu Dong's goods, there are not many left, such as the popular varieties such as two kicks, throwing firecrackers and scratching firecrackers, the ones brought have been sold out.

There were fewer and fewer people, so Du Xiaobing took the time to ask Lu Dong, How much did you sell for?

Lu Dong shook his head: There are too many to count.

Song Na pointed to her forehead: I've been confused for a long time. She sat down on a saddle: I'm exhausted.

Qiao Weiguo took off his cotton cap, revealing his steaming bald head.

Lu Jianren snatched the hat and put it on Qiao Weiguo's head: Little bald head, you have a cold, who will do this speculative work?

Qiao Weiguo straightened his hat and smiled embarrassedly.

Du Xiaobing pinched his waist with both hands, gasping for breath, too lazy to speak.

Lu Dong stretched his right wrist, looked at the entrance of the yard, and then at the main road. They had already begun to disperse. He saw that no one came over for a while, and said to the tired old, weak, sick and disabled people: Take a breath. , let’s pack up and prepare to evacuate! Rest early when we go back, and gather early tomorrow morning!”

Okay! Du Xiaobing was still full of energy.

Song Na pulled Lu Dong's black padded jacket up and said, I'll sleep when I get back!

It's true that you're tired, and it's true that you're full of energy.

This money is so easy to earn, it is addictive!

After resting for seven or eight minutes, everyone began to pack up the remaining things, packed boxes and cars, and went back to the warehouse at the south end of Qiao's Village.

Back at the warehouse, Qiao Weiguo left all the waste paper boxes to his father, which was considered a benefit in addition to salary.

Lv Jianren ran to the reception room to brag and fuck with Qiao Weiguo's father, and the four of Lv Dong took out their wallets and bags to count the money.

In the end, all the numbers were counted to Lu Dong.

How many? Du Xiaobing asked with concern.

Lu Dong stretched out five fingers: 53233!

One episode today sold more than the previous five episodes!

Of course, the most important thing is that the consumer groups have all concentrated in five booths from twenty or thirty booths.
