Day 72 The New Way (1)

Don't forget to vote for recommendations!

In December, although the weather has not yet entered the ninth century, it has already made people tremble all over. Cao Xun and Luli, wearing the same dark black cotton jackets, cotton pants and cotton shoes, stood in the whistling northwest, arched their backs, stomped their feet constantly, waiting for the few pedestrians, "Xiaoxiao, it's too cold! It seems that today is colder than the previous few days?!"

"Yes, Xiaoxiao, there are no one at the moment. Let's go into the house to rest for a while?"

Luli wore a pair of toad mirrors, not for good looks, but just to block the wind. Looking from behind the lens, the color of the world became red, "Okay, you guys go in, I'll wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go together?" Cao Xun grabbed him without saying a word and rushed into the room. The stove was lit in the room, and the spring was full of spring. "Fuck, I'm so frozen!" Xu Yunjian murmured and cursed, took off his cotton hat and threw it on the bed in the inner room. "I have to say that the little brain is very useful, and I'll prepare two houses in advance, otherwise, where can I hide in this cold day?"

Cao Xun picked up the boiling kettle on the stove and poured it into the thermos, brewing a cup of tea for himself and everyone, "Xiaoxiao, you have to think of a way. If you do this, will we waste our harvest in the past be wasted?"

"That's why I want to say that I'll do some other business in such a season." Luli wrapped the teacup with both hands and took the water to keep warm. "After I came back, I went to see Brother Hua and asked him for his opinions, but I didn't get much help from him, so I was still thinking of other ways."

"You mean, selling roast lamb, right? What are you going to do?"

"The most embarrassing thing right now is the source of mutton. With this, everything else can be solved." He said, "I have been thinking about this in my mind. It is very feasible, but the amount of mutton is also very large. I have to use 100 or 200 kilograms every day."

"One or two hundred kilograms? Why are there so many?"

"It may be a little bit short at the beginning, but when people start to get familiar with this thing, no matter how many it is, it can be sold."

"Mutton, mutton..." Zhang Qing murmured to himself, and suddenly his eyebrows raised, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, how about anti-repair? Isn't he in the food factory?"

"I thought about it too, but their... are different from this."

"Then, how about Tianmu? It's a Huimin settlement area. People there don't eat pork, they all eat beef and mutton. How about buying it?"

"Where is the ticket? What should I do if I have meat tickets?"

Zhang Qing was asked in just one sentence, and he lowered his head and muttered, "I can't buy meat, I can buy you but I don't have meat tickets, what do you think?"

"I asked Brother Hua, and he told me that in the northeastern region where he went to the countryside, some people raised sheep and cattle at home, but not for themselves, but for the commune and brigade. I was going to take a trip!"

“Where is the trip?”

"Northeast, Tongliao."

"Don't you go this season, won't you freeze your nose? How cold is there?"

"I want to go because it's cold. I want to go there and buy some sheep in the local area, slaughter it and bring it back. If the weather is hot, won't it be broken? It's just right when the weather is cold."

Xu Yunjian and others also felt a strong sense of pity, "How much mutton can you bring back alone? Besides... how hard it is this trip? Xiaoxiao, let's forget it, we have made a lot of money. We can afford to wait these days."

"It's okay, I know you feel sorry for me, but I'm not afraid! Isn't it just to suffer some hard work? I have thought seriously. If I can buy five sheep back this time, I can start the preliminary experiment. If it is not as good as I imagined, I will just take a waste of time. If it is really good, I will buy a lot of things next, and the more prosperous this kind of thing comes in the cold winter, the more profitable it will be. As for the profit, it will come much faster than selling clothes!"

"That's not OK. You're here for two lives. How can you buy sheep from others? Do you steal?"

Lu Li chuckled, "I want to invite Zhao Xiaodong to go with me. He has been in the countryside. I asked Brother Hua that he has a very good popularity in the local area. With him, the initial path can always be opened. And I have been to that place with my aunt, but you have forgotten? My second sister was there in the countryside back then, and the people are not very unfamiliar."

"Zhao Xiaodong? Which one?"

"You are not very familiar with him. Do you still remember that when you went to Zheng Kai's wedding, a man talked to me? It was him."

"Oh, I remembered that you still lent him a lot of money to buy the one who married your partner for three turns and one sound?" After receiving the affirmative answer, Xu Yunjian nodded, "Then, I'll go with you! Just treat it as giving you the strength to help you carry the mutton!"

"We two brothers are going there too. Anyway, there is no business here. Standing here is also drinking the northwest wind. Why not go with you?"

"There is no need to go all of them. More importantly, I have to leave a few people here to make other preparations, so let Xu Yunjian and me go; Cao Xun, you, do two things in the city. The first is to find a way to get bamboo sticks, as thin as possible, and specific,..." He looked for it, took out a chopstick and a kitchen knife, and cut it in front of everyone. After a while, the chopsticks became thinner and thinner, becoming a wooden stick with a diameter of no more than half a centimeter. He tried the strength with his hands and realized that it was almost done, "It's just that thickness and length. I don't care how you look for it, I have to find it anyway. I need a thousand in advance."

Cao Xun frowned, "Where will I get this thing for you? Let Zhang Qing go. I'll go to the Northeast with you, how about it?"

"Don't talk nonsense! You can do whatever you want, and you can bargain less."

Hearing his bad tone, Cao Xun didn't dare to say much. He had taken the chopped chopsticks and looked helpless.

"And Zhang Qing, you go to Tianmu and buy two things, one is cumin. This seems to be a seasoning. I have been to several places, but it has not been sold. Many people have never even heard of it. But I think Tianmu often eats beef and mutton, and they should have it; and there is also chili noodles. Each of them costs fifty kilograms. After buying these things, you will wait for me to come back."

"Then, Xiaoxiao, how many days do you have to go?"

"It will take more than a week. I asked Brother Hua that I would take two days and two nights to take the train. Then I had to get out of the car. It was quite troublesome anyway. But there was nothing I could do about it in order to make money."

"Xiaoxiao, why don't Xu Yunjian and I go on your behalf? Anyway, I just tell them and buy the mutton back. How difficult is this?"

"It's not a difficult question, but to be honest, you are not as good as me in this regard. If you don't mention anything else, you have to drink there? I asked myself that I can handle the alcohol tolerance. Besides, I have to talk to others. If anyone of you says that you can talk more than me, I will let you go."

"Fuck, isn't this difficult for you? Who doesn't know that you talk to others and talk to ghosts?"

Luli laughed, "No one has to fight for it. This time it's the same as in Yangcheng. I came to run away the previous few times, and then it depends on you."

"Okay, when are you going to set off?"

"Just these days."

******************************************************

I heard that he was going to travel far again, and this time he was still going to the far north country. Liang Wei's eyes were red with heartache, "Why are you leaving again? Can you not go? How cold is there?"

"I know it's cold, but it's okay, just wear more clothes. And, I like coldness. Think about it, it's snowy outside, I'm sitting in a steaming house, drinking and talking with my friends, isn't it a great joy in life?"

"You guys always say something?"

"Xiaowei, I'm going to suffer a lot now, and it's just for our future. Think about it, I'll make a little more money so that our lives will be comfortable in the future, right? When I really get married, I'm afraid I won't have so much motivation - the Gentle Land is a hero's tomb!"

Liang Wei burst into laughter at him, "You are like this, how dare you say you are a hero?"

"Of course! Do you think I am not? I don't say anything else, but I, Lu Li, have the courage and courage to be the first in the world. I ask myself that I am a hero!"

"I can't tell you anyway. Oh, wait." Liang Wei gave him a blank look, turned her head in, and after a while, she came out with a black and red scarf and wrapped it around her neck with her own hands. "I know you worked hard at the stand outside, and learned to knit it with my mother. I didn't expect it to be used so soon - how, is it warm?"

"warm."

"That's good," the girl's hand stroked his strong chest and whispered: "Li, if it doesn't work, come back quickly. It's cold there, don't get cold, ah?"

"Don't worry, I'm dressing warmly, no problem, and Tongliao is in Liao Province, so it's not particularly cold." Lu Li and her hugged her, "As you please wait for me at home, wait for me to come back and make delicious food for you."

Compared with Liang Wei, Yu Fang has become accustomed to the child's going out, "Why are you leaving again? How many days have you been back? Can't you calm down for a while? Is it unethical things! It's a cold day, you still have to go? Who is there to hook your soul?"

Lu Li turned a deaf ear to his aunt's nagging. He knew that Yu Fang felt sorry for him, so he lowered his head and asked her to scold her. Anyway, no matter how she scolded her, there were a lot of clothes and luggage she should prepare. "Brother Zhao, did you hear it? Your brother is going to the Northeast, where are you going to the countryside."

"Is that true?" Zhaodi walked in and took off the cap on his head, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing there?"

"I want to buy some lamb and come back."

"Can't you buy mutton at our house? What are you doing there?"

"I want more. By the way, second sister, do you have any acquaintances in the commune over there who raise sheep?"

"There are many sheep, but they are all raised for the commune and the county. You may go there for nothing and you can't buy it."

"So, do you know what the county's people in charge of this kind of animal husbandry are called?"

"I don't know this. We are in the brigade, called Sankeshu. The brigade branch secretary is named Tong, and the child's child."

"How is this person? What was his attitude when the educated youth returned to the city?"

When Zhao heard his brother ask this, he looked unpredictable with disgust on his face, "What are you asking this?"

Luli didn't need her answer, she just looked at her expression and understood everything, "It's okay, I've never heard you mention it, just ask."

"Hey, if you want to go, I'll find my dog-skinned shoulder for you. The northeast is hard and you have to have this thing to do, and the next ones are useless."

"By the way, I will give me my second brother-in-law's job, and I will go with Xu Yunjian and prepare it for him."

"You are quite sorry for people?" Zhaodi giggled, "By the way, you two don't know each other, how can you go? Who are you looking for?"
