Chapter 214 What is nine plus seven plus eight?

Chen Shulin originally came to the market for inspection.

Recently, a document came down from above, saying that the results of the fight against smuggling should be consolidated, and it also mentioned that there are signs of a resurgence of smuggling.

From the original open smuggling to underground smuggling, and the smuggling has become more targeted, and has become only smuggling imported cigarettes and watches.

Unexpectedly, when he came to inspect on the market day, he happened to see Li Duoyu shouting with a small trumpet.

The jingle in his mouth is really amazing. After traveling all over the country for these years, he can be regarded as a man who has seen the world.

Li Duoyu's shouting is much more amazing than the candied haws sold in the north. He just listened carefully for a while. Although the shouting is very rustic, every word is hinting to you that his oysters are very cheap.

Chen Shulin found that every time he saw Li Duoyu, he seemed to be surprised. If this brain is used for serious work, he might go a long way in the future.

However, what Chen Shulin admired most was that Li Duoyu was different from others. He was very down-to-earth and did not put on airs even though he was the village director.

He still set up a stall in the market, selling oysters and shouting with a loud speaker. If it were any other village director, he would probably not be able to bring himself to do this.

After Chen Shulin saw him coming.

People who came to the market nearby gave him seats, causing Li Duoyu's grilled oyster stall to be deserted, and said:

"Duoyu, you sell oysters first, we won't disturb your business, I'll find the person in charge of the market later and ask him to come to you to see when to organize an oyster special for you."

"Thank you, Secretary Chen."

"We are old acquaintances, don't be so formal, I'm twice your age, just call me Uncle Chen in the future."

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"That's about right, it sounds much better, come to the town committee when you have time."

"Okay."

After Chen Shulin and his group left, the nearby vendors and villagers became curious about Li Duoyu's identity.

"Who is this young man? I've never seen him before."

"Boss, you must have seen him. He looks like Li Duoyu who used to set up a stall here."

"Impossible. Li Duoyu is so sloppy and looks like he deserves a beating. He doesn't look like this person at all."

"It's really him. I almost didn't recognize him just now. I asked him about it when I bought grilled oysters."

"But he's a peddler. How come he has such a good relationship with our town leaders? If the leaders knew that he used to be an active peddler, they would leak this information. "Send the fish in the net."

"Maybe he has a backer."

"Forget it, let's not discuss this, old boss, the grilled oysters he sells are really delicious, why don't you buy one to try."

"What's so delicious about oysters? Did you take his money? Why are you advertising for him?"

"How is that possible? It's really delicious. If you want to eat it, go buy it quickly, otherwise it will be gone soon."

As soon as the town leader left, a group of people gathered in front of Li Duoyu's grilled oyster stall, and everyone gave money to Li Qingguang.

"Give me a pound of grilled oysters."

"Boss, you guys grill too slowly, just give me the oysters directly, I'll grill them myself when I go back."

Li Qingguang was in a state of confusion, his mind was a little confused now, because the scene was really too chaotic, and there were too many people giving money.

In addition, he didn't know these people, and he couldn't remember who paid and who didn't.

A middle-aged man with a bit of ruffian air kept urging Li Qingguang: "When will my oysters be grilled?"

"I've been waiting for a long time, why is it so slow?"

"If it's not grilled, give me back the money."

Li Qingguang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and frowned: "It seems that you haven't paid yet."

"What's wrong with you, young man? How come you forgot the two cents I just gave you in a blink of an eye? Do you know how to do business?"

Li Qingguang said seriously: "You were standing behind him just now and didn't give me anything at all."

"What's wrong with you, kid, you actually want to cheat me of my money, I won't buy it, you Give me back the two cents. "

After seeing Li Qingguang arguing with others, Li Duoyu glanced at the middle-aged man who looked a bit ruffian and asked on the spot: "What did you pay for?"

"Just now."

Li Duoyu said word by word: "Just now, an hour ago was just now, and a minute ago was just now."

The middle-aged man replied: "One minute ago."

"One minute ago, right?"

Li Duoyu asked the people who were buying oysters: "Did anyone see this big brother pay a minute ago?"

The people present looked at each other. There were indeed too many people just now, and they really couldn't be sure.

Seeing that no one replied, the middle-aged man laughed and said: "What a shit, you are being blackmailed for buying oysters, give me back the money quickly, or I will go to the police station to sue you."

"Fuck, go if you have the guts."

Li Qingguang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could beat him up.

Li Duoyu patted his shoulder, signaling him not to get excited, and then said to the crowd:

"Who saw him not paying? If you see him, I will grill one serving of oysters for free and give him an extra pound of oysters."

As soon as Li Duoyu finished speaking, someone immediately responded: "Boss, I saw this guy was always at the back and didn't pay at all."

"This guy is called Chen Baoguo. He likes stalls with a lot of people and often fishes in troubled waters. It seems that he was beaten up two days ago."

"Dong Biqing, are you sick?"

"Did I offend you?"

Chen Baoguo had never expected that he only wanted to extort 20 cents, but the boss spent 40 cents to expose him.

Isn't this stupid?

After being exposed, Chen Baoguo still stubbornly cursed Li Qingguang:

"Forget it, I'm unlucky to meet a stupid young man like you. I'll just give you 20 cents as buying banknotes."

Seeing Chen Baoguo cursing him, the young and energetic Li Qingguang got angry instantly and picked up a fire stick from Zhang Jian's stall next door.

Li Duoyu said sternly:

"Qingguang, put the things down."

Although Li Qingguang was angry, he put down the fire stick on the spot when Li Duoyu shouted.

Li Duoyu sighed: "If you really want to make money in business, you have to learn to be patient. There are all kinds of people these days. The son of my neighbor Lao Hu is robbed several times a year on average. If he fights with people, he will lose his life."

"I was impulsive."

Li Duoyu patted his shoulder: "It's normal to encounter such things when doing business. If the business is good next time, make a few wooden signs, so that you won't make mistakes."

"Hurry up and grill the oysters. The customers are waiting."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

In less than two hours, the oysters brought by Li Duoyu were sold out.

Li Qingguang was counting the money, but the more he counted, the deeper his frown became. Originally, 100 kilograms of oysters should be sold for 20 yuan.

But all the money in his hand, added up, was only more than 17 yuan, a gap of more than 2 yuan.

"Brother, I seem to have made a mistake again and undercharged a lot of money."

Li Duoyu looked at Li Qingguang seriously and asked, "Qingguang, are you bad at math?"

Li Qingguang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Not bad, not bad."

"What is nine plus seven plus eight?"

Li Qingguang took out ten fingers and counted, then got stuck instantly, sweating profusely, as if he really couldn't figure it out.

Li Duoyu was a little speechless: "You must attend the literacy class next month, and borrow a calculator from your brother before you start doing business."

"Got it."
