Chapter 54:
The winter in the countryside is very cold, and the children can't go up the mountain to drill the forest, go down the river to swim and catch fish like in summer, but it's not like they don't have nothing to do.
Father Lu and Lu Zetian took the children to ice skating, or smashed the river to catch fish. After having fun, they brought the fish back. Qin Shi made them into various flavors, which made the children howl and make the adults laugh. .
In a week, Qin Shi cooked pickled fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, steamed fish, Tangba fish, fried fish, tofu fish soup, etc...
In this era, there is no such thing as getting tired of eating. Everyone is not eating enough meat. Even though they ate fish for a week, everyone didn't feel tired. Instead, they were still looking forward to what Qin Shi could do again.
Qin Shi was also helpless, so he could only continue to change his tricks, and they didn't give up until there were too many people fishing and it was difficult to catch them.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, there are Yangko dancers in the county. The whole family of the Lu family was dispatched. After eating early in the morning, they rushed to watch Yangko on the streets of the county.
There are so many people in the county, the street was full of people twice, it was really crowded, just like the train station during the Spring Festival in later generations, people from the nearby townships, villages and counties probably came.
The children were hugged and pulled by the adults. Everyone stretched their necks and probed hard, with smiles on their faces. This is a rare time of the year to relax and rest.
Lu Zetian hugged An'an, Lu's father hugged Pingping, Qin Shi and Lu Yao led Gu Qinghai, squeezed into the crowd with Lu's mother, and rushed to the front row.
Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, the crowd became even more noisy, and children's screams of excitement were everywhere.
Walking in the front is the team with trumpets, suona, drums and gongs on their backs. They wear red silk on their bodies and red silk flowers tied to their musical instruments. They look very festive.
The sound of blowing, blowing, beating and beating was endless, and when the suona rang, a festive and loud sound sounded, which shocked everyone.
"Wow~" the twins exclaimed, "What a loud voice!"
The domineering suona is matched with gongs and drums, and the sound is huge without a stereo. The Yangko team slowly walks, and the sound becomes louder and louder.
When the team arrived in front of Qin Shi and the others, the children were already attracted by the "red faces" in red and green behind the band. They wear heavy makeup, and walk cross-steps with big bright pink fans, proudly holding their heads high.
Qin Shi held Gu Qinghai's hand and did not dare to let go, so she could only stretch out one hand to cover her ears. In a team of more than a dozen people, there were several suona players, and the sound was too loud.
The hooligan sound of suona only pierced her brain, and Qin Shi couldn't help opening her mouth. She felt the word "deafening" quite literally.
Qin Shi was a little relieved when the band walked away. Although there was also a band behind, there were few people and the volume was just right.
Qin Shi looked at Yangko seriously. Although their makeup was exaggerated and the clothes they wore were hard to describe, but this is also an intangible cultural heritage, and it is difficult for future generations to see it.
Those who wear big-headed doll hoods, those who are jumping and playing waist drums, those who are walking on stilts more than one meter in length, and those who are wearing cloth donkeys around their waists, those who deliberately pretend to be ugly and winking "old men" and "old ladies" ,Etc., etc…
Qin Shi, who was watching by various teams, was completely attracted to it.
Colored silks are flying, gongs and drums are beating, and laughter and dancing are all very distinctive. It is a real traditional Yangko dance.
If there is a mobile phone, Qin Shi really wants to record these, it is so interesting and shocking.
The Yangko team is not long, even if they walk slowly, it is over in less than an hour.
The people dispersed slowly, still indulging in the Yangko dance just now, chatting together happily.
Qin Shi followed everyone to the market, and she still had some unfinished business in her heart, but when she arrived at the market, she was immediately distracted when she saw a lot of people setting up stalls in the market.
There are all kinds of cooked food, vegetables grown at home, fish, meat, daily necessities, and clothes.
"Ah! So many people!" Lu Yao didn't expect that there would be so many stalls in the newly opened market.
"My dear~" Lu's mother looked at the open sheep and pigs hanging, and a group of people gathered around the butcher's stall, and murmured, "There's so much meat, so many things, you can choose by yourself if you don't need a ticket." , This, can this supply and marketing cooperative continue to operate?"
"Of course." Lu's father pulled Pingping, licked his dry lips, and said, "The supply and marketing cooperative is owned by the state, and the supply is sufficient. With the state, of course it can continue to operate."
"These should be raised by myself, or collected from someone else's house? I don't think there are many of them." Lu Yao said after looking carefully.
Lu Zetian glanced at it: "It should be."
"If the policy doesn't change, I think the supply and marketing cooperative will be in danger sooner or later," Lu's mother said affirmatively, "The salesmen in the supply and marketing cooperative have such long faces, and all of them have terrible attitudes. Look at how good these people are. They are smiling. Laugh if you don’t buy it.”
"You don't need a ticket outside, and you can bargain for the price. I think sooner or later everyone will not be willing to go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"The future situation is uncertain, and it may have to go bankrupt!"
Qin Shi looked at Mother Lu in surprise, but she didn't expect her eyes to be so vicious, and she hit the nail on the head.
"Impossible." Father Lu shook his head, "The supply and marketing cooperative is backed by the state." He trusts the state very much.
Lu's mother rolled her eyes, instead of arguing with him, she began to carefully observe the people who set up the stall.
The family was shopping while shopping, and finally bought a lot of things for no reason. Lu's mother walked back with the things and started to complain: "I don't want to buy, I don't want to buy, but when I see that I don't want a ticket, I can't hold back!"
After chanting for a while, he suddenly came to Qin Shi's side and said, "Shishi, tell me more about the canteen you mentioned earlier?"
Father Lu looked at her, "You really want to open a canteen?"
Of course Mother Lu was moved, she said: "Didn't you see those stalls? There were too many people, and they charged a lot of money in a while! I opened a small shop in the town, as long as I bought in, I would just stay at home Can make money!"
Father Lu: "That's not an easy task. Shishi also said that the main reason is that it is difficult to purchase."
"The solution is all thought up by people," Lu's mother was very hot, "I'm not very old, and I can still work for a few more years. It's better to earn more money and grow old!"
Qin Shi liked Mother Lu's mentality and character very much. She smiled and said, "Mom is right, the method is all thought up by people. Let's think about how to buy."
"That's right! It's better to be Shishi, who knows how to find a way for me and support me," Lu's mother squinted at Lu's father, "Just hit me!"
Lu's father smiled wryly, "I didn't hit you, I just told you that this matter is not easy."
Lu's mother: "Of course I know. I just saw that there are not many stalls. They can come in. Why can't I?"
"It just so happens that Zetian is at home, so I'll run around with him and ask around, maybe we can find a suitable one." Qin Shi thought for a while, and said: "When it's confirmed, let's bring Mom along and let Mom know the way. .”
"Or if there are any reliable and idle juniors in the relative's family, it will save trouble to pay some money to hire them to pull the goods back, and pull more at a time."
Qin Shi gave Lu's mother an idea, and she was overjoyed to say goodbye, and brought Lu Yao to discuss with Qin Shi.
"Anyway, in the village, there is no need to rent a special storefront. Make room at home, set up a large shelf to store various samples, and then make room to store the goods. When the time comes, tell the villagers, and the business will come by itself."
"I believe everyone will be happy to be able to buy things without going to the town."
After listening to Qin Shi's words, mother Lu began to think about what to sell, "Then it should be a good thing that is necessary for life. There is a seasoning factory in the county, so you can go and have a look at it. Soy sauce, vinegar, salt, etc. can be sold. have."
Lu Yao: "Toilet paper is also available."
"What else is there to sell? Think about it!" Mother Lu turned to look at Lu Zetian and Father Lu who were walking behind, telling them to think about it too.
Qin Shi: "It's fine to sell daily small things. You can buy a few at the beginning, and then gradually add more types of goods."
"Yes, let's try it first and see if it sells well." Mother Lu's eyes were full of excitement.
She had been very busy taking care of her baby before, and when she came back to her hometown, she felt relieved and felt a little unaccustomed to being idle. Now she has found the direction of struggle, and some are busy, which makes her feel very fulfilled.
When I went back that day, Mother Lu started tidying up the room, trying to make room for her to come out.
The next day, Lu Zetian was upset with Qin Shi and went to the county again, and began to inquire about the situation in each factory separately.
But many factories, when they heard that they only wanted a small amount of goods, they waved their hands and refused. The quantity was too small, and they did not hesitate to trade. After all, the factory also has a lot of big orders, and it is simply not worth seeing dozens of transactions.
Qin Shi had known this would be the result, so she ran around with Lu Zetian. They ran all over the factories in the county, but none of them were willing to trade.
The two went to the city, and most of the factories in the city refused, but some agreed, because the salesman of the factory wanted to do the order by himself.
He can get the goods and wants to trade in his own name. Qin Shi knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, she hesitated and refused, it was risky, she would rather go to more places.
If Qin Shi was doing business by herself, she would definitely not be afraid, but she was only helping to find the goods, and in the future, it would be Lu's mother who would be in charge. If something happened to this, it would be too much trouble.
Come on honestly.
So Qin Shi left and went on to another factory.
After another busy day, Qin Shi returned to the hotel where she was temporarily staying.
She knew it would be difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. These factories were either unwilling to do it, or they just looked down on such small profits.
It's not uncommon for anyone to want to do business in their own name, but Qin Shi dared not agree.
Qin Shi fell on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief. It is best to find the source of goods from the city. If it is far away, Mother Lu will not be able to buy goods. She is getting old, and even if she dares, her family will not be at ease.
Lu Yao still has to go to school, and Lu's father is not in good health, and he can't stand the long journey and exhaustion, or else he can just go to the Shenzhen market to buy goods, it doesn't have to be so complicated.
"Click."
A voice came from the door, it was Lu Zetian who came back, Qin Shi lay still on the bed, and asked without hope: "Have you found a willing manufacturer?"
Lu Zetian: "No."
Qin Shi sighed, she knew it would be like this.
"However, I met my comrade-in-arms. He is now engaged in transportation. He found retired veterans to form a convoy to help people bring goods back from Shenzhen City."
Lu Zetian laughed: "I was his squad leader before, and I have a good relationship. After he heard about this, he was willing to help him buy the goods and bring them back to us."
Qin Shi sat up abruptly, "Really?"
Lu Zetian smiled: "Of course it is true."
Qin Shi laughed immediately, "That's great! But is it too much trouble for him?"
"When he was in the army, he caused a lot of troubles, and I settled them all. It's okay to trouble him now." Lu Zetian smiled: "I asked, there are all kinds of markets over there, and the supply is sufficient."
"At that time, he will unload the goods in the city and have someone take them back to the county. Mom can just pick them up in the county."
"Yes," Qin Shi praised him, "You have so many comrades-in-arms. We ran for so long without a clue, and finally we depended on your comrades-in-arms, alas!"
"How many capable comrades-in-arms do you have, tell me? Let's move around in advance." Qin Shi joked with him.
Lu Zetian thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "Not much, only a hundred and eighty."
Qin Shi was stunned, then smiled and stared at him, "Then you are really amazing, a good comrade in arms in so many places."
Lu Zetian smiled without saying a word, and didn't explain much.
After the matter was settled, Qin Shi relaxed, "Let's go, go out to eat, my stomach has been growling for a long time."
"I saw a Northeast restaurant nearby, let's try it." Qin Shi was a little greedy.
"Okay." Lu Zetian naturally didn't answer.
As a result, as soon as he left the hotel, when he walked to the gate, he bumped into two people head-on.
It was Lu Zetian who had been taught a lesson before. He was wearing a leather jacket, and he was hugging a fashionable curly-haired woman with makeup and red lipstick.
Lu Cai was stunned when he saw Qin Shi, who was more beautiful and temperamental than before, he stopped involuntarily, "Qin Shi?"
Qin Shili ignored him, took Lu Zetian's arm, walked around him and walked out the door.
"Qin Shi!" Seeing her go, Lu Cai let go of the woman in his arms and chased her out.
"Qin Shi, long time no see," Lu Cai stopped Qin Shi, his face was full of emotion, and his eyes were affectionate.
Lu Zetian frowned, and Qin Shi rolled his eyes directly. Is Lu Cai sick? Who are you showing such an expression to? What was their relationship like before? I don't know what it is?
are you crazy!
It's because of the plot that such a big city can meet a silly male lead? Or is she just unlucky?
Really meow's bad luck.
