Chapter 21 Testing the Waters

When I woke up, it was dawn.

"Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!" As soon as he got up, Du Yuanzhou heard the noise from the construction site outside.

Standing in front of the hotel window, looking at the construction site not far away, the machines roared, and many migrant workers were busy up and down like busy workers, and the scene seemed to be like a previous life.

From ancient times to the present, the three religions and the next generation have been the most miserable? The people are the most miserable. A poet said it well: "The people suffer; the people die, the people suffer." This seems to be a truth that has never changed.

Although now, as nominally, it is a society dominated by the working and peasant class, do the people really have to worry about food and clothing and live and work in peace? Not necessarily.

In this era, most of the migrant workers who work outside are obviously more courageous. After all, if they have just experienced ten years of turmoil, if they don’t have a certain courage, they will never dare to work, because the idea of ​​dictatorship has long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

However, although many people rely on their courage to work, they can only do the dirtiest, hardest and tiring work and make the least money. Even so, many migrant workers often fail to get their wages after working hard for a year.

In the 21st century, similar cases of debt collection by migrant workers were not uncommon, and even incidents of black kiln workers were exposed one after another, which was shocking and unbelievable.

Alas! Is social fair? Maybe fair! But this kind of fairness is a relative fairness, and it is impossible to be absolutely fair. For example, there may be a fairness between the powerful and the powerful, and between the civilians. This fairness establishes the equal strength of both parties, and is by no means at the legal level.

"Haha! It's really a worry. I'm not a savior, so I can't control so much. Just try my best to take good care of the people around me, take good care of the people I love and the one I love. As for others, if you have the ability, help as much as you can, let it go!" Du Yuanzhou couldn't help but shook his head, smiled bitterly, turned around, and saw Chen Qiaoyuan who had just entered the bathroom to wash, thinking secretly.

Yesterday I was busy until noon, and everyone moved most of the mountain goods to the warehouse. Zhou Nan must do a little bit of landlords, so after unloading the mountain goods, he went to the game restaurant for dinner. After dinner, he chatted there. After a while, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

Then, Zhou Nan took Du Yuanzhou and others to get to know the surrounding environment and discuss how to deal with these mountain goods. He stayed in a nearby hotel in the evening.

Originally, Zhou Nan wanted Du Yuanzhou and Chen Qiaoyuan to live in his place. The house he and Zhou Bei rented was spacious enough. It would be fine to put two beds on it, so it would be fine to squeeze two more.

But Du Yuanzhou did not agree. After all, he brought it to everyone. If he and Chen Qiaoyuan left, they would throw the others in the hotel, which was a bit unreasonable.

Seeing everyone getting up, Du Yuanzhou took everyone to find a snack bar nearby, and ordered fried dough sticks, tofu brain, and noodles.

After everyone finished their breakfast, they used a truck to pull half a truck of mountain goods to an open space next to the market, and then unloaded them in bags.

Although this ten square meters of vacant land does not look very large, it was finally rented from other vendors yesterday afternoon. Otherwise, there would be no free places around the market, and the slightly better places have already been occupied. After all, there are not many people coming to the SAR to do business in this era. Compared with other places, not only do they make high profits, but they also don’t have to worry about selling when they have goods.

After unloading the goods, Du Yuanzhou found a piece of hard paper more than one meter high and a large pen, and wrote five big characters "Selling Northeast Mountain Goods" at the top, and then wrote the names of mountain goods such as fungus, pine mushrooms and other small characters neatly under the bottom, and the prices were neatly written.

Yesterday afternoon, Du Yuanzhou had already bought some pens, paper, purse bags, platform scales, plastic bags and other things that can be used for selling goods. Of course, there are also things like platform scales, paper and pens, and there are also game restaurants. It would be fun to borrow them, but Du Yuanzhou thought about it and bought some. After all, trading mountain goods is a long-term thing, and it is impossible to use them for free!

As for the price, Du Yuanzhou and Chen Qiaoyuan had already agreed that any mountain goods were one yuan cheaper per catty than the market price, and if you buy more, it would be cheaper than it could be. For example, the market price of pure wild fungus is one or seven yuan, and they are six yuan one or two taels and fifteen pounds and three taels.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, there were more and more people on the road and the market began to become lively. Some small vendors selling vegetables were busy sorting out the goods on the stalls while shouting loudly from time to time.

The first day of the day today, there were only Du Yuanzhou, Chen Qiaoyuan, Zhou Bei, and the driver Mao Dakun. As for the other drivers and the two people hired to escort the car, they rushed back to Jincheng after eating sooner or later. After all, there is no need to have so many people at the moment. If you stay in the Special Administrative Region for a day, you have to pay a day of wages. Eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping will also cost money. This is by no means a small fee.

Later, when Chen Qiaoyuan said that Du Yuanzhou felt it made sense, he immediately agreed to let them go back. As for Mao Dakun, he was Chen Qiaoyuan's cousin and he could definitely trust him. In addition, he really needed a car to transport goods back and forth, so he kept him.

In fact, there is another reason to leave Mao Dakun. Since someone needs to take care of the game restaurant, Zhou Nan can't help much at all. Even if Zhou Bei and Du Yuanzhou and the others included only three people, so Mao Dakun could help when he didn't drive.

Seeing that people were coming and going around, no one was concerned. Not only Chen Qiaoyuan was anxious, but Du Yuanzhou was also a little anxious. After careful observation of the surroundings, he immediately found the reason why no one came forward to ask for the price. It turned out that their stall was originally very remote, and the mountain goods only opened the bag and did not shout at him. Naturally, few people paid attention, especially their unfamiliar faces and no repeat customers.

"Pure natural Changbai Mountain wild fungus, six yuan per liang, six yuan per liang, and sold at a cheap price..." After thinking through the problem, he naturally thought of a solution. Chen Qiaoyuan began to let go of his courage, and shouted loudly like other vendors.

Du Yuanzhou and Zhou Bei were not idle either. They laid a few large nylon silk bags on the ground and poured out all the mountain goods that had only opened the bags. Chen Dakun moved a few bags of mountain goods from the car and piled them behind the street stalls. This looked much more eye-catching than other stalls at once.

After this toss and struggles, their efforts were finally not in vain.

"Young man, you have so many black fungus, all of them are wild? How can you sell them?" Hearing the shout, an old lady in her fifties dressed more elegantly and slightly white in her hair walked over. She asked while holding the black fungus with her hands.

"It's true, aunt, this is definitely the pure wild fungus of Changbai Mountain. Look at the color... we transported it from our hometown. You will know when you listen to our accent..." Zhou Bei hurried forward and answered, deliberately explaining loudly, while handing over a bowl of fungus that had been soaked before.
