Chapter 47 Vaccines
When he drove back in the pickup truck, Du Bing's face never stopped smiling. He did not regain his calmness until he was about to return to the village.
A good start is good, but the efforts that follow are still important. There is no reason why he doesn't understand such a simple truth.
When they passed the village entrance, several idle men were still holding on here. When they saw the pickup truck coming back, someone immediately asked: "Du Bing, have the mutton sold out?"
"No, there is still a leg of lamb." Du Bing replied calmly, slowing down the car.
Zhuang Lang raised his chin proudly, let’s see, I’m right? I haven’t sold out a sheep in a morning market. How much money can I make? Why not stay at home!
"How much money did you make in the morning?" Another straightforward question asked the most critical question, "Is it enough gas money?"
Du Bing still said calmly: "Two hundred yuan. The gas money must be enough, at least two and a half sheep!"
"Two and a half sheep? What the hell? Didn't a single sheep be sold out?"
A few people who originally wanted to watch jokes immediately became messy. What the hell is this?
Lin Hai rolled down the back window and explained with a smile: "The morning market is so enthusiastic. As soon as we pulled over, we were snatched up immediately. Both sheep were not sold enough. If we hadn't thought that we would eat it ourselves at night, we wouldn't have left this lamb leg! There was no way, I could only go back and burn the sheep's head and sheep's hooves... The sheep from the grassland was good! Everyone in the city knew that this meat was delicious..."
It would be fine if Lin Hai didn't explain. After explaining this, Zhuang Lang almost vomited blood after he was already flashed!
"I won't talk to you anymore," Du Bing continued to start the car. "We have to go to the mountains to get sheep after we have worked. This little sheep is not enough, so let's go!"
After saying that, he drove home without waiting for the others to say hello.
"Didn't it mean that even a single sheep can't be sold? They almost sold three sheep!" Someone sighed, "I heard that even the beef and mutton shops in the city rarely sell three sheep a day... That's one day! It seems that the Lin family's second son is really good... If you are here, I won't talk anymore. When I get home, I should feed our sheep!"
"I'm not staying anymore, there's still life at home!"
The staying people slowly dispersed, and the rest of Zhuanglang was left. He couldn't figure it out: Why did it seem that something could not be accomplished no matter what? Why did it understand inexplicably when Lin Tao's place?
Not only Zhuang Lang can't figure it out, but many people in the village can't figure it out. Why can Lin Tao make money with just one idea in the village that seems very ordinary and has no highlights?
If Lin Guodong had not returned to his hometown now, I would probably have been in a constant stream of people coming to Lin Guodong's house every day. Even so, every night, middle-aged and elderly women who Lin Tao wanted to call his aunt would often come to Lin Tao's house for a walk. Even when the sun is cool in the evening, the lively next to Lin Tao's house is second only to the yard of the old Chen family.
However, the Lin brothers had no time to chat with them in the evening. Lin Hai and Lin Tao asked Du Bing to call home and prepare to celebrate.
The mother of cousin Qin Huajuan is Lin Tao's second aunt. The two families are in the same village and have a very good relationship. At this moment, Qin Huajuan is cooking mutton, and Du Bing directly brought a box of beer. He opened the bottle and first handed it to Lin Tao and Lin Hai each of them. He also took a bottle and started drinking it with the fried peanuts on the table.
After drinking half of the beer in one breath, Du Bing burped, put down the bottle of wine, and said to Lin Tao, "Xiao Tao, to be honest, when you just came back from graduation, I didn't feel anything. I just felt that you were the kid who followed us to play back then. After going to college, gaining knowledge, and becoming a city man, that's it. But, to be honest, I really admire you during this period! It's a bit easier to say about fish selling. What I admire most is the idea you gave to Uncle Chen, Leng Yuhu and me. This is a long-lasting job that can always make money! You just say it casually, and we just listen and try it, and it's actually done! "
After saying that, Du Bing drank the remaining half bottle in one breath.
Lin Tao looked at the big bottle, and he could not drink it after only one-third of it.
If you want to blow hard, you can finish it. But it is really difficult to swallow - this is the "Deadly Dawusu" known for its strength in beer in later generations, and it is the original version. The alcohol content in later generations is only five or six degrees, but now it is a full eleven degrees!
At this time, my cousin Qin Huajuan brought the cooked mutton, stir-fry two more dishes, and said to Lin Hai and Lin Tao with a smile: "You two eat more! Your brother-in-law is happy today. I haven't seen him so happy for a long time. Even though I made a lot of fish selling in those two days, it's not as good as today!"
Lin Tao naturally knew Du Bing’s idea. Selling fish is just a temporary thing. No matter how much you earn, you will spend it all. But selling sheep like today is a sustainable livelihood. Du Bing’s eldest daughter Du Jing is in the third year of junior high school and next year’s high school entrance exam; his younger daughter Du Mei is in elementary school. Du Bing wants both daughters to take the college entrance exam.
It is not easy to support a college student in rural areas now. After all, except during the autumn harvest, there is no living money most of the time. The Lin family was able to provide Lin Tao with a group of sheep originally raised by the Lin family, plus the accumulation of past years. Later generations could contract a lot of land, and they were all economic crops. They had not paid the task of public grain, nor did they have agricultural taxes commonly known as management fees and various withdrawals. Now, it is definitely impossible to support two college students by farming alone. Therefore, Du Bing would prepare for the future, make arrangements early, and find ways to get money.
In fact, Lin Tao could also tell Du Bing that as long as you farm with peace of mind, you will not pay agricultural taxes in a few years and will no longer pay public grains. It will still be very profitable to grow economic crops on a large scale. However, if you say this now, I am afraid that not many people will believe it.
"Come on, eat meat!" Du Bing picked up meat for Lin Hai and Lin Tao and the others, and also brought chopsticks himself, chewed them twice, nodded and said, "The mutton on the grassland tastes fragrant!"
Several people ate and drank, and Du Bing asked Lin Tao again: "Xiao Tao, what do you think I should pay attention to later?"
"You must maintain the quality of the mutton." Lin Tao put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "That is to say, at the beginning, you must make the brand of grassland sheep, and you cannot use other mutton to sell it together. I think that during this period, there will definitely be villages, or other acquaintances who want to sell you the sheep they raise. After all, your mutton is expensive, and they also want to take advantage of it. But at this time, you must not be careless and must not be greedy for small gains. Otherwise, this will not last long."
Du Bing didn't care and said with a smile: "I have only sold three sheep. Before I finished writing the eight characters, how could others sell the sheep to me? I still thought that in the past two days, we will go to the mountains and get another batch of sheep!"
Lin Tao emphasized and said, "Brother-in-law, you must pay attention to this matter! Now you don't care about it, and when the matter is over, you will lose the decisiveness... Now you must set a principle bottom line for yourself!"
Du Bing wanted to defend himself a few words, but there was a cry of sheep outside, and someone shouted in the yard: "Du Bing, I'm old Hu!"
Lin Hai and Du Bing looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
