051: Grandet's happiness

The 1990s was a golden age everywhere. As long as someone was willing to step out of their comfort zone, they would gain huge wealth. Unlike twenty years later, the economy and society basically had no new development and mainly relied on dividing the surplus.

After sending away the two dealers, Zhao Peng threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the quilt, and laughed silently.

The business finally took a big step towards his plan. He had the first initial capital, and he had the financial foundation for the next plan.

He put all the money he received just now and the money he received last week on the bed. Except for eating in the city, paying advance fees for Zhang Xiaoqiu's painting, etc., all his money is here.

He closed the door tightly and counted the money carefully like Grandet.

There were some with one hundred, some with fifty, some with ten yuan, and some with five yuan. He first sorted all the money into piles, and then counted them.

The total is 4,250 yuan. I counted it three times and there is no problem.

The amount is correct and there is no fake money.

Among them, excluding the 1,050 to be paid to Rui Zongming and the 500 to be returned to Hu Li, there is a total of 3,100 yuan left.

There are still two weeks before Uncle Guangquan's repayment date at Master Liu's house, so he is not in a hurry to prepare in advance. Anyway, he can just take out 1,000 and give it to him when the time comes.

In addition, the family still owes more than 10,000 yuan in foreign debt, mainly from the debts of the aunt's family and a few close friends in the village. They all know that Zhao Peng's family is financially tight now, and they probably won't want it for a while, which just gives him a little buffer.

.

Once the original funds are larger, we can gradually pay them back.

He originally didn't expect to wholesale eggs directly today. His original plan was to sell eggs for one day, but seeing that there was no such pressure now, he simply pushed out his bicycle and headed north.

In Shengli Township, more than ten kilometers away from Huangqiao Town, there is also a chicken farmer who has started raising chickens. The people are also good, and they have a good relationship with their father in the later years.

Zhao Peng was going to take a look at the eggs from this company and discuss a cooperative relationship to supplement his egg shortage.

Now that Rui Zongming's eggs have been wholesaled out by just two dealers, he has no room for further development, and the funds for the new plan are far from enough, so he must increase the scale.

Shengli Township is poorer than Huangqiao Town, and the road is more difficult to walk. The only road is full of potholes, uneven, and has steep slopes from time to time.

Zhao Peng rode his bicycle all the way, thinking that if he really wanted to get eggs here, he would need a better means of transportation, otherwise the eggs would be broken by such a bumpy ride.

Based on his memory, he arrived at his destination and found that the owner lived in a dilapidated small courtyard. Except for a small room for people, the entire courtyard was a chicken coop.

Moreover, their chickens are not like Rui Zongming’s chickens, which are all in chicken cages and fed uniformly, along with scientific measures such as lighting, temperature, and music for the chickens to relax.

The chickens in this house are all kept free-range in every room. They are a mess and no one is doing anything right.

Zhao Peng remembered that when he first came with his father, there was already a large-scale chicken coop here, and the owner of the chickens was married and had a child over one year old.

Now he is still a bachelor.

The chicken farmer's name is Zhao Dahe. Both his parents died. He worked on a breeding farm in the south and learned how to raise chickens. So after returning to his hometown, he began to slowly raise chickens.

However, due to lack of funds to purchase chicken coops, for the time being, the chickens are raised directly in the rooms, with 300 chickens in each room, for a total of 2,000 chickens.

Now these chickens are at their peak egg-laying period of about 6 months and can lay 1,800 eggs a day. They are very cheap for hotels and restaurants in the city to take away, and each egg only costs 10 cents.

The good thing is that he doesn't have to go to deliver it, someone else will come to pick it up.

Zhao Peng looked at the eggs collected by Zhao Dahe and found that they were super big, even bigger than the large eggs selected from Rui Zongming's eggs. It seemed that Zhao Dahe really had two skills in raising chickens.

It may also be that his chickens are free-range and are more likely to lay large eggs.

Zhao Peng proposed to get eggs from his house. Of course, he did not mean to sell them, but to make tea eggs. He needed 500 to 1,000 eggs every day. He hoped that Zhao Dahe could give him some.

Zhao Dahe was reluctant at first, but couldn't bear the amount of money Zhao Peng was willing to give, and because both of them had the last name Zhao and were close friends hundreds of years ago, Zhao Dahe was finally willing to give him a share of 3,000 eggs a week.

.

The price is still 15 cents each, and Zhao Peng comes to pick up the goods every Saturday. The goods are paid in cash, and no credit is allowed.

After the negotiation was concluded, Zhao Peng took away 600 eggs from his house. It was hard to come this far and he definitely couldn't go back empty-handed.

It was already afternoon when we returned to Huangqiao Town again.

Zhao Peng put the eggs in the rented house and rode his bike on the way home.

The car was speeding down the street, and he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. Suddenly, his eyes could not help but heat up, and he almost fell off the car.

It's grandma!

He saw his grandmother walking on the street with a cane and a small bag in her hand.

In his previous life, before anything happened at home, Zhao Peng lived at his grandmother's house in the first and second grades of junior high school. Because his grandmother's house was only three miles away from Yucai Middle School, he could get up in the morning and run directly to school.

For hundreds of nights in the past two years, grandma told him stories, heated the kang to a boil, left food for him at night, and called him to get up in the morning. She would always be reluctant to eat the fruits or snacks given by others, and hid them in the closet, waiting for him.

When he comes, take it out secretly for him to eat at night.

Grandma was very envious of other people's grandsons who would build a big tombstone after the old man passed away. Zhao Peng was young and ignorant, so he told his grandma that when she died, she would build a bigger tombstone for her.

Grandma was so amused by him that she told me to swallow this breath as soon as possible so that my filial grandson could build a big monument for me as soon as possible.

One word becomes a prophecy.

In the previous life, after my uncle was framed and imprisoned by Zhao Qingyang, my grandmother aged a lot overnight. One time when she went to the toilet, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her ribs pierced her lungs. She lay ill in bed for several years and then passed away.

At the time of his death, the relationship between Zhao Peng's family and his uncle's family was still very rigid. Zhao Peng could not even offer his grandmother a stick of incense or kowtow.

This was almost the most regrettable thing in his previous life.

It has been nearly a month since he was reborn. He has been busy dealing with financial pressure and has not realized that his grandmother is still alive. It was not until he suddenly saw it on the street that he suddenly remembered that his grandmother had not fallen down at this time. Although her physical condition had changed,

Poor, but still able to persevere.

He rode his car to his grandmother's side, got out of the car, and shouted: "Milk!"

Zhao Peng's grandma passed away very early, so he always called her "Nai" instead of "Grandma".

Grandma stopped and saw that it was Zhao Peng. Her face was full of surprise, but she quickly looked around carefully and then asked in a low voice: "Peng baby, why are you here?"

Zhao Peng was hurt by his grandmother's cautious eyes.

He knew who grandma was afraid of.
