Chapter 290 Selling Fireworks

Most of these fishermen who sell dried goods are engaged in traditional aquaculture, and they belong to the kind of families in the village that are not as rich as the rich but better than the poor.

In fact, their family used to be the same as these villagers. Although they have many oyster fields, their annual income is only a few hundred yuan.

Once a natural disaster occurs, it is possible to lose money.

Family members usually have to beg for small sea oysters and mend fishing nets to increase extra income, and those bad dried goods.

After these fishermen go back, they will definitely be reluctant to throw them away, and nine out of ten will collect them for themselves to eat.

And it is this habit of thriftiness that leaves hidden dangers to their health.

And the root of all this.

It is nothing more than one word, poverty.

Rich fishermen will keep the good ones for themselves to eat, and poor fishermen will sell them as soon as they have good things, and eat only the scraps.

"Grandma, let's buy them quickly. If we don't buy them now, they will be sold out soon."

"What can we earn? The purchase price of seafood is too high now. We can only earn a little hard-earned money. Everyone is imitating you and waiting to sell them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Fortunately, it's only our village. If the whole town follows you, the price of seafood will definitely collapse."

"15 for 24 shots, 20 for 36 shots, and 20% off for buying two."

After shouting, everyone asked about the price and shook their heads and ran away. For them, fireworks are really too expensive.

Zhao Dahai actually said: "Brother Yu, I'll buy a small one, the one with 24 shots."

Capitalists would rather pour out milk than sell it cheaply to the poor.

Small fireworks such as electric flowers and ground mice sell well, but when people ask about the price of large fireworks, few people are willing to buy them.

Li Duoyu nodded obediently and did not refute Chen Huiying's words at all.

Li Duoyu then took out the sparklers and lit one directly, with a "hissing" sound.

"That's it."

After watching for a while, some of the children couldn't help but take out the red envelopes that some elderly people had prepared in advance.

Old Man Mickey rolled his eyes at him, thinking that pulling out the tubes must not be what Li Duoyu meant.

"This sky rocket, a bunch of twelve, two yuan."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "If I want to be money-conscious, after the public toilet is built, I will directly send someone to collect the fees, one cent for a small size and two cents for a large size."

Chen Huiying saw Li Duoyu pulling another cart of fireworks back, and a little angrily taught him a lesson: "Why do you keep buying and spending like this when you just have a little money? You still owe so much money to the credit union. You should save money when you should, don't you understand?"

"What?" A little girl kissed Old Man Mickey on the cheek.

As it got dark, Li Duoyu was planning to move the fireworks back home first.

"You just keep nagging me all day long. Duoyu is no longer a child, but the director of our village. Do you still need to teach me?"

Li Duoyu smiled at Old Man Mi and said, "Old Mi, you must have made a lot of money by collecting so many fish today. Do you want to buy some for your grandson to play with?"

Looking at the fireworks of Li Duoyu, Old Man Mi asked, "How much is this?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It means filial piety."

Just then, Old Man Mi, the fishmonger who had just purchased a boatload of seafood, smiled and said, "Duoyu, you have changed your career to sell fireworks."

"Swish, swish, swish"

Although my mother couldn't help but nag him every time he spent money, Li Duoyu didn't feel annoyed at all.

"Grandpa, just buy me a box. I will be very obedient this year." And during the New Year, being a spoiled child is really useful. At the end of the year, the old people in the village usually try not to beat their children in order to get a good start.

"I can't afford it, it's too expensive."

After hearing the price, Zhao Erniu's computer crashed on the spot. Today, the two brothers worked so hard that they only earned more than ten yuan.

But Li Duoyu frowned as he looked at the fireworks that were piled higher than people. If he moved them back like this, he would definitely be scolded by his mother. Otherwise, he might as well hide them on the fishing raft.

"Okay, Grandpa is the best."

But after his mother finished preaching, Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Mother, I made a lot of money by selling fireworks today."

As a "veteran", the only thing Li Duoyu can do to help them is to make this village and this island better and better.

After hearing that Li Duoyu was offering a discount, these children started to act like spoiled brats, and spared no effort.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and someone said, "Okay, our village director is angry, let's come back tomorrow."

"This is so beautiful."

Li Duoyu replied, "Selling fireworks, do you want to buy one back? Just for good luck."

Mickey, who has always been very stingy, was called grandpa by these grandchildren, and his face was full of smiles.

Now the supply and marketing cooperatives on the island don't have this thing at all, which is a scarce product.

After seeing the children come.

"Grandma, the village director is selling fireworks at the dock, can you buy me some fireworks?"

Amid the abuse of a group of adults and the elderly and the cheers of a group of children, in less than an hour and a half, most of the fireworks and firecrackers that Li Duoyu brought were sold.

Li Duoyu said with a little anger:

The fishermen on the dock were all scared. A villager who was closer to him scolded, "Duoyu, you are making trouble. You didn't even tell me in advance before setting off fireworks."

Li Duoyu said, "You have made so much money, but you are still so stingy. Be careful that your grandchildren will pull out your tubes when you are old."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "During the New Year, you can only buy five catties of fish at most."

An old lady who had just sold a lot of dried squid couldn't help but scold:

"This Li Duoyu is really bad. He made so many fireworks to deceive these children. He just made some money, but he will make it back again."

They surrounded Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu lit a cigarette, then took out a monkey and lit it directly with the cigarette butt.

And the group of little brats who had been pestering him before didn't know where they went to play, in order to call them over.

However, in the previous life, it was not the fishermen who hoarded seafood, but the fishmongers.

Zhao Erniu frowned, thinking that what his brother said made sense. This year, the two brothers could be said to be the most unlucky in the village.

"bong"

After hearing this different sound of the cannon, not long after, all the children in the village rushed to the dock.

It seems that people of this era will say some things that are not easy to say in person in the letter, which reminds Li Duoyu of the matter of asking Zhou Xiaoying to write a love letter for him.

Next.

"I know, I won't dare to do it next time."

After saying that, he took out a lot of change from his pocket.

"That's right, Sister Xiangyun is right."

Zhou Xiaoying's eyes widened.

Li Duoyu suddenly realized, that's right, why should I set them off all by myself, I can just resell these fireworks.

I didn't expect that it was dark, and there were still so many people queuing at home. Chen Huiying said to the villagers: "Everyone, let's do this for today. I have been writing all day, and Xiaoying is tired."

"Swoosh".

Mickey Mouse reminded me like this.

Chen Huiying was dumbfounded.

"Village director, I want to buy a box of that sizzling one."

Li Duoyu waved his hand on the spot and said: "No, it's too dangerous for children to play with. If you want to buy it, go back and ask your parents to come."

The group of children who were watching ran home one after another, and they started to act like spoiled children.

"How much is this?" Zhao Erniu asked.

Even the grandchildren of Mr. Mi came to him and said, "Grandpa, please buy us some fireworks."

"What do you mean by pulling out the tube?"

"Brother, are you sane? It's almost the New Year. You can't even afford to buy a pound of meat, but you can afford to buy fireworks. You can buy more than ten pounds of meat."

After the people left.

There is a saying:

After a while.

"I know a lot."

"Brother Yu, what are you selling?" Zhao Erniu asked curiously.

"Sure, Grandpa will buy you some fireworks."

"You didn't buy fireworks, but you made money instead."

Li Duoyu started to sell directly on the dock: "Selling fireworks, selling fireworks, beautiful and fun fireworks, come quickly."

"Sister Huiying, let's finish writing today. I don't know if Xiaoying will write tomorrow. Xiaoying helped write my couplets ten years ago. If someone else writes them, maybe we won't have good luck next year."

After listening to this, Old Li snorted at Chen Huiying:

After hearing the price, Old Man Mi's face fell: "It's so expensive, you are robbing openly, two yuan can buy ten kilograms of good fish."

Old Man Mi was right. If all the coastal fishermen did this, the price would indeed collapse.

Chen Huiying glared and said, "You only know how to talk after the fact, what else can you do."

It says: For Director Li!

Li Duoyu had roughly guessed who the letter was from. After opening it, he found a solemn thank-you letter inside, and there was even a big unity inside.

A firework costs more than ten yuan, how can it be afforded? What Zhao Erniu didn't expect was.

"Okay, let's buy a firework."

Seeing Li Duoyu say this, the villagers said: "Duoyu, you are obsessed with money. This year, I will come to your house to watch the Spring Festival Gala. I will eat all your melon seeds."

The dock was full of adults with children. Seeing that more and more people came, Li Duoyu shouted on the spot: "Today, anyone who buys more than ten yuan will get a 20% discount. Buy five boxes of ground mice and you only need the price of four boxes."

The children opened their mouths wide.

When Li Duoyu was sorting fireworks at the dock, he unexpectedly found a letter written on kraft paper.

Zhao Dahai said seriously, "I think what Brother Yu said makes sense. We are really unlucky this year. Let's buy some fireworks to blow away the bad luck."

After selling a firework to the Zhao brothers, Li Duoyu borrowed a cart from the owner of the fishing tackle shop and pulled the fireworks back home.

The ground rat was like a spinning top, spinning and running around on the ground, scaring the children to scream and get excited.

Just at this time, the Zhao brothers came back and were selling the seafood they caught today to the fishmonger.

"This is different."

After a long period of loneliness, for Li Duoyu, even if his mother scolded him, he felt very kind.

Li Duoyu opened a box of ground rats and lit it directly in front of the children.

Li Duoyu told Chen Huiying what happened today. After listening, her face was hot and she felt that she shouldn't have said that about Lao Si just now.

"My wife, I have never made her so tired. Let me tell you, this year it is still free. Next year, if you come to ask Xiaoying to write Spring Festival couplets, I will charge you. A pair of couplets is 20 cents, and each character of blessing is 5 cents."

Chen Huiying rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to pay attention to him, and then smiled at Li Duoyu and said, "Duoyu, you have to keep these fireworks. Our family can turn things around thanks to the blessing of Mazu. We have already bought these fireworks, and we must thank Mazu."

"Okay, you can arrange it, mother."

"By the way, I bought you a few pairs of shoes, try them on to see if they fit your feet."
