Chapter 69 Chicken Feather for Sugar
"Uncle, what does the Industrial and Commercial Bureau do?" Tang Xiaonan asked without a word.
"Being in charge of the market, I have an idle job, drinking tea and reading newspapers every day." Tang Laijin snorted.
The old lady scolds him for being idle every day, hehe... His brother-in-law is really doing nothing. In the morning, he goes to work, reads the newspaper and drinks tea, makes several trips to the toilet, takes a nap, and continues to read the newspaper and drink tea in the afternoon. To receive such an immortal salary is not a mess.
Huo Jinzhi was even more moved. He came to the city this time to understand the market situation. He didn't expect that the son-in-law of the Tang family was in charge of this, and he could take the opportunity to inquire later.
Tang Xiaonan heard Tang Laijin's contempt for his uncle, and he didn't know the reason, but although Tang Laijin was idle, the Tang family had one advantage, that is, protecting the calf.
They are definitely not good to outsiders, but they are close to their relatives, so there should be only one reason for Tang Laijin's dissatisfaction. This uncle is not very good to aunt Tang Laifeng.
But I have to see myself to understand, maybe there is a misunderstanding.
The sun climbed higher and higher, it had already crossed the top of the mountain, and it was ready to go down.
There were rapid footsteps in front of them, and not long after that, a middle-aged man carrying a trader's pole appeared in front of them swayingly. There was a pair of cloth shoes hanging on the top of the pole, and the man's feet were straw sandals. The stone did not affect the man's speed at all, as if walking on the ground.
Danzi picked up two big baskets, and at one end was a basket with a large piece of brown sugar covered with a clean cloth. The wind blew a corner, and Tang Xiaonan's heart jumped again.
Could this be the famous "feather for sugar"?
"Uncle, I want candy." Tang Xiaonan coquettishly.
The middle-aged man stopped immediately and looked at Tang Xiaonan with a smile. He traveled from south to north and trained his sharp eyes. At a glance, he saw that Tang Xiaonan's family was very good.
He took out a hammer and drill, knocked down a piece of candy the size of a child's palm, wrapped it in mulberry paper and handed it to Tang Xiaonan.
"Uncle, how much is it?"
Tang Xiaonan took it out in her pocket. She has a small treasury. Yesterday, Tang Baishan gave her a dime, and Tang Laifu also gave her a dime.
"I don't want money, uncle invites you to eat." The middle-aged man laughed, this little girl looked handsome and sweet, and she was liked by her look.
"I have money."
Tang Xiaonan shook her head vigorously. It is very difficult for people in Wucheng to live now. Otherwise, they would not have gone over mountains and mountains to exchange chicken feathers for the sake of increasing the output of one mu of land by dozens of catties.
The original intention of changing chicken feathers for sugar is not business, but to increase production.
Wucheng Mountain has more land and less land, and each person has limited land, but this is not difficult for the smart and industrious Wucheng people. They found that by composting chicken feathers into the fields, the yield per mu can increase by dozens of catties. The story of 'feather for sugar' is known all over the world.
Although the original purpose was to increase production, the exchange of chicken feathers for sugar is the prototype of Wucheng people's business plan, because many people also help people bring goods while exchanging sugar. Unique business experience.
It is not accidental that Wucheng can become the world's largest small commodity market center, but the choice of the market.
Tang Laijin took out some change from his pocket and was about to give it. The middle-aged man saw the eggs in Tang Laijin's pocket and said, "Don't give the money, or give me two eggs for breakfast."
