288. Chapter 288 Buy some Fireworks and Do some Business
The master on the farm vehicle said with an accent from another place: "This 24-shot high-rise fireworks costs 15 yuan."
"The 36-shot earth blossoming fireworks costs 20 yuan."
After hearing the price, Li Duoyu took a deep breath. It was New Year's Day, but the money didn't seem like money.
One firework was worth half a month's wages for an ordinary person. No wonder no one bought it after it was on display for so long.
The old man and woman watching nearby also said: "You are selling it too expensively. Are the fireworks filled with silver or gold?"
"One firework can buy a pair of high-quality leather shoes. How many people can afford it?"
Seeing that there were many old men smoking in the crowd, the two stalls hurriedly said: "Uncle, please don't smoke. If you light it, we will all be finished."
Li Duoyu glanced at the car. In addition to fireworks and firecrackers, there were also many small fireworks such as electric flowers, sky monkeys, and ground rats.
In addition to these, there were also a lot of dried seafood on the car.
Li Duoyu glanced at the production address on the fireworks packaging and roughly guessed what they were here for.
Seeing Li Duoyu buying so many, the big brother who bought fireworks was surprised and said: "Are you buying them to set off yourself or to sell them?"
"Okay, I'll help you move the fireworks." The big brother who sold fireworks said to the remaining two people: "I'll go to the island with this brother to take a look. You know, keep an eye on the fireworks, and be careful of those who smoke."
"Village director, these are really fireworks."
"Thank you, Director Li, but I have one more thing, that is, the money I brought is probably not enough, and I guess I can't buy too much."
The big brother who bought fireworks thought about it for a while. If it was other islands, he would definitely not even think about it, but Dandan Island has a good reputation and is considered a serious island. When he was buying dry goods, others also recommended it.
"Oh."
And the children playing on the dock, after seeing Li Duoyu holding a lot of things, all surrounded him curiously.
Liu Neng said with a smile: "Yes, no problem, thank you so much, Director Li."
Speaking of which, we often came to your town to purchase goods in the past two years. When the market was good, we would go more than ten times a year. I didn't expect that in less than two years, everything changed. There were no tea sellers or watch repairmen. "
"This is fireworks."
Li Duoyu glanced at him and immediately knew what he was worried about. "If you are worried, don't bring money first, go to the island with me, and if you think it's okay, you can come back to buy it. "
Every time before the Chinese New Year, their family is very busy. The fat kid can't go out to play. He helps Zhou Xiaoying with a look of despair, holding a bamboo knife in his hand, cutting the red paper into couplets.
In this way, Li Duoyu not only bought fireworks, but also brought a customer who bought dry goods.
Li Duoyu said casually: "I went there with a friend who sells mosquito nets before, and saw the fireworks there. They are really beautiful. "
After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Duoyu. An old lady who was prying oysters replied: "Village director, I have a lot of dried clams at home. I brought them over to show you."
"The Chinese New Year is in two days. You won't be able to make it to New Year's Eve."
The child Wang Qingguang also ran over and asked with a smile: "Brother, what did you buy? I'll help you move it. ”
“At the beginning, I knew a brother who went to our town to sell mosquito nets and rough horse watches, and then I knew that you were from Shangfeng Town.
Liu Neng patted his thigh: "If I had said it earlier, I would have brought more money and came to your island to buy dry goods."
Li Duoyu said: "By the way, our island specializes in dry goods. Do you want to go and have a look? We can give you a cheaper price."
“Alas, I bought this calculator in your town three years ago. Now it is almost out of power. This kind of button battery can’t be bought even if I want to. In another half a month, I can only buy a new one.”
“Brother, which island are you from?”
Liu Neng scratched his head and said: “Do you have that dried kelp and that big dried oyster?”
To Li Duoyu’s surprise, this big brother was also very talkative and talked about some past events.
Hearing this, the eyes of the three fireworks vendors lit up, and one of the older vendors smiled and said: “You have been to our Liuyang.”
After hearing that it was fireworks, the eyes of the children were all wide open. They had also seen fireworks.
The brother selling fireworks was a little entangled after hearing what Li Duoyu said: "Yes, I can, but if it's less than one hundred, I can't give you a discount."
"Reset to zero, reset to zero."
"I'll go back right away."
This farm vehicle not only has a awning, but also has a strong smell of seafood. It is obvious that people from the mainland come to the coast to buy dried seafood.
Li Duoyu pondered for a while: "How about this, you can collect it first, if the money is not enough, I will arrange a small boat for you to transport the goods to the dock. At that time, we will pay and deliver the goods. What do you think?"
"Okay, when are you going back to the island? I will go with you."
Besides, since this person said so, it would be a bit unreasonable if he still suspected it, but he didn't dare to bring too much money, only one or two hundred yuan. If he was really robbed, he would just give the money to them even if he was unlucky.
The brother selling fireworks said helplessly: "I'm used to spending the New Year on the road. If these fireworks are not sold out, I can't just pull them back and forth."
"The dried oysters are indeed relatively small, but if you really want to buy them, I can introduce them to you and ask our village director to give them to you evenly."
After hearing the word "fireworks", Little Fatty's ears perked up, he put down the bamboo knife in his hand and ran directly over.
"Then I'll go to your house to visit."
"By the way, brother, if I buy more fireworks, can it be cheaper for me?"
"I have snail jerky at home."
However, when they reached the uphill slope, these noisy children did not dare to go up here.
"What you say makes sense. In our place, if we don't set off fireworks during the New Year, it will be like this year has never happened. Wait a minute, let me calculate how much it costs for you."
Zhou Xiaoying bent over and lowered her head, holding a big brush and writing Spring Festival couplets for everyone.
What Li Duoyu said made him alert: "You won't deceive me, will you?"
Qingguang replied: "It's fireworks."
When Li Duoyu returned home carrying a lot of things, he found that there was a queue at home, and every villager was holding several pieces of red paper in his hand.
The elder brother selling fireworks said in surprise: "The kelp on your island is very famous. I heard that the oysters raised by your village director are very large and the quality of the dried oysters is very good. It's a pity that you can't buy them."
"Wait a moment, I'll greet you." Li Duoyu shouted directly to the fishermen on the dock:
"Dear villagers, who has better dry goods? There is a boss here who wants to collect the dry goods. He comes from Liuyang. Get better dry goods for them. Don't ruin the reputation of our island."
Li Duoyu looked at these chattering little kids and felt that their family would definitely be very noisy and lively during the Chinese New Year this year.
When the villagers with the red paper saw Li Duoyu moving so many things, they couldn't help but ask, "Duoyu, what are you buying?"
Li Duoyu smiled: "I set it off myself because I have a lot of children at home, so I bought it for them to play with, celebrating the New Year. If you don't set off some fireworks, it wouldn't be called celebrating the New Year."
Li Duoyu took out ten unity cards from his pocket and gave them to the other party, and then asked: "By the way, I see you have a lot of dry goods in your car. Do you plan to buy dry goods back to Liuyang?"
Probably because the Chinese New Year was approaching, I brought the specialty fireworks from my hometown to sell here, so that the trucks would not be empty and both sides could make money.
"Let it go during the Chinese New Year."
People who work in their profession have seen many road bullies and village bullies. They usually only go to the town but not the village, let alone the island, otherwise they may be stripped naked.
While chatting on the road, Li Duoyu learned that the eldest brother's name was Liu Neng. The other two people in the car were his younger brother and his eldest son.
"It will definitely not be less than a hundred." Li Duoyu glanced at the fireworks on the agricultural vehicle and thought about it: "Two of the 24-ring booming ones, and two of the 36-ringing earth blossoms."
The man selling fireworks took out a small calculator. He wanted to press it, but found that the screen would not light up. He patted it several times with his hand and took the picture directly.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
This small calculator does have this problem. Once it runs out of power, you really can’t find a matching button battery.
This gadget still has a bit of technical content, and currently domestic battery factories really can’t produce it.
"These four fireworks are not enough."
"From Dandan Island."
"You are Dandan Island, the village director who raises kelp."
Li Duoyu said: "Don't worry, I want to buy some things for the children to play with. How can you sell electric flowers, ground mice, and flying monkeys?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "Yes, it's me."
In this day and age, there is another name for them, that is, they are traitors.
Other fishermen also shouted: "I also have a lot of dried fish and salted hairtail fish at home."
"Yes, but not much. I can give it to you evenly."
Liu Neng frowned. This was indeed true. He had never seen such a young village director.
What Liu Neng didn't expect was that when he and Li Duoyu arrived at Dandan Island, the people on the pier actually called him the village director and stunned him.
"Thank you then."
The eldest brother who sells fireworks replied: "That's right. Otherwise, if we go back empty-handed, we will not be able to earn back the fuel cost just for the cigarettes."
Li Duoyu thought the price was pretty good: "Let's do this, five packs of each of the electric flowers, ground mice, and sky-scraping monkeys."
The old man who was waiting for him to cut the paper said anxiously: "Haoran, don't run away. Cut my couplets first."
Li Duoyu said to Liu Neng: "They have all gone back to get the dry goods. Take a look at it yourself later. If you think the quality is acceptable, it is not too late to buy it."
Li Duoyu smiled and naturally knew what the elder brother was talking about: "There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person."
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "If I had told you earlier, you might have thought me a liar."
"When are the fireworks going to be set off?"
Because there was a female teacher there that they were least afraid of messing with.
There are legal and illegal ones, and they should be the legal ones.
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Brother, I hear your accent is from Liuyang."
But I've only seen it on TV, not in reality.
"A pack of twenty electric bulbs costs five yuan, a box of ground mice costs ten and three yuan, and a handful of flying monkeys costs two yuan."
An older street vendor said proudly: "This is really not a boast. The fireworks are all over the country. We in Liuyang are ranked second, but no one dares to say we are first."
The elder brother took a calculator and calculated: "The total is 120 yuan. Since we are so close, I will give you a 15% discount. Let's call it 100 yuan. We will also be friends."
As soon as Li Haoran ran away, Li Duoyu said: "Your aunt is so busy. Go and help her, otherwise you won't be able to set off the fireworks."
The fat boy Li Haoran complained: "Uncle, I have been cutting for a whole day. I hate Spring Festival couplets the most. Every year at this time, I can't go out to play."
"Go quickly, and I will give you a few more fireworks."
"Uncle, you said it, don't cheat when the time comes." (End of this chapter)
