Chapter 99 10 The Merchant Zhang Quande

After sending Zhang Quande away, Qin He's house was still surrounded by curious villagers and children. Hearing that Qin He had concocted rat poison himself, and the drug was very effective, everyone was curious.

The bucket of dead mice was regarded by everyone as a surprise. Rats are very common these days, but a bucket of mice is also rare. Seeing that there were a lot of people around, Qin He quickly lifted the bucket of dead mice to the corner.

Soon some villagers had the cheek to ask for rat medicine, and Qin He didn't hide anything. He started to find some old newspapers and divided the rat medicine into small packets.

Although the villagers who got the rat poison were still a little skeptical, who would not want the benefits of giving it away for free?

People in this era, let alone the countryside, the quality of the people in the city is not much better. It is the nature of the Chinese people to be greedy for cheap, not to mention Jiang Baili's task is to lead the villagers in Xiaolizhuang to get rich.

Elimination of rats is the first step. If the rats eat less food, everyone can eat more.

Soon, more and more villagers received the news and began to gather at the door of Qin He's house. The women discussed gossip, from rat medicine to Qin He's wedding.

Word spread, and within half a day, everyone in Xiaoli Village knew that Jiang Baili, an educated youth, had made a batch of rat poison by himself. I heard that the effect was very good, and he is still distributing it for free.

Of course, the father-in-law Li Zhanjun also arrived soon after receiving the news.

As soon as Secretary Li came, everyone gave way one after another. Seeing the old man coming, Qin He hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Li Zhanjun saw with a heavy face that there was only half a bottle of rat medicine left. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and asked in a low voice.

"You made this yourself?"

Qin He nodded repeatedly, and quickly explained.

"This random concoction, I sprinkled some in the house last night, picked up a big bucket of dead mice all day long, there are dozens of them, I think the effect is not bad, so I'm going to distribute some to the villagers !"

"Dozens?"

Secretary Li finally looked at Qin He in disbelief.

Qin He quickly took out the bucket of dead rats from the corner. The reason why Qin He hadn't thrown away the rats yet was mainly because he didn't know how to deal with them. There were no garbage stations in this era. There were so many rats. Qin He was thinking of using soil. Buried, better cremated!
Sure enough, seeing is believing is the best effect. Secretary Li and several cadres of Huiji's eyes lit up. When they saw this big bucket full of dead rats, they all attracted their eyes.

In this day and age, rats are really rampant in rural areas. Many years ago, the country advocated eliminating the four pests, and rats are the most wanted criminals. Unfortunately, among the four pests, except for sparrows who have become the blamers, the other three pests are still so rampant.

Rats, the number one pest, have amazing fecundity. In this era, when there are no specific medicines, there is no way to get rid of them. People's disgust for rats ranks first.

Seeing this bucket full of rats, Secretary Li finally believed it. His eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the brigade's grain depot. Every year, the entire production team would lose at least a dozen people's rations due to the scourge of rats. .

Secretary Li stopped talking nonsense, strode forward, picked up the remaining half bottle of rat poison, and shouted at everyone.

"It's all gone. I'll take the rest to the grain depot. Ensuring the food safety of the production team is the most important task!"

When the secretary spoke, everyone naturally had no objections, and soon everyone dispersed.

The children who had finished eating the candy balls had already run home, leaving only some greedy women who continued chatting. They each held a few candy balls in their hands and smiled from ear to ear.

Secretary Li never asked for Qin He's opinion. Obviously, in his opinion, there was no need for it at all. Not to mention that Qin He is his son-in-law, but also that the production team gave priority to the group. Isn't that what it should be!
Of course, Qin He has no objection, this saves himself trouble, and the cost of this thing is only a few catties of sweet potatoes and a few small wild trees on the mountain. Qin He patted his head, and suddenly remembered that this mouse has not been dealt with. After thinking about it, he should dig a hole and bury it. Forget it.

Although the rat poison is not poisonous, this rat has a lot of bacteria on it. Qin He is really worried that if he doesn't pay attention, some villagers will pick it up and go home to cook.

Finally, he dug a hole under an orange tree in his backyard and buried it before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin He asked Zhang Quande to do the rat poison business purely to earn some pocket money. As the head of the family, he didn't even have any money on him. How could this work? In fact, he still had a lot of gold in his bracelet, but that thing, in this day and age , and it is not easy to realize.

With the synthesis technique, Qin He also began to plan to see if he could actually synthesize some pig feed or something. The rat poison was just an experimental product. Of course, all of this would be planned after he got married.

Qin He's wedding is getting closer and closer. Although Qin He has no relatives here, Secretary Li's family has many relatives. For Secretary Li's sake, the relatives have to come over to give the young couple some gifts.

Taking advantage of the afternoon, Qin He went to the mountain to dig more than two catties of mapo juice, together with almost seven or eight catties of sweet potatoes, filled a jar with pickled vegetables, and waited for the deal with Zhang Quande tomorrow.

He believes that the rat poison produced by the system is absolutely effective. The system has said that it is far beyond the technology of its own era, and it is the technology of 2022. In the 80s, mice must not know this stuff.

As the evening approached, Zhang Quande, who had been on the road all day, picked up the shelves and finally arrived in the dark at a small village called Juziping, where he planned to spend the night.

Businessmen who can travel around ten miles and eight villages all year round know how far they can travel in a day. Generally, those who can stay overnight are either relatives or acquaintances.

In terms of relatives in the countryside, there are no seven aunts or eight aunts in any family. As for whether you are close or not, it depends on the conditions of your relative's family, and you often move around.

When we arrived at Juziping, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Zhang Quande rushed to the third uncle's house in the dark. In this winter, it was already dark at seven o'clock in the evening, and the rural people didn't have much entertainment, so they went to bed early. .

Fortunately, Zhang Quande often takes this path, and he has adapted to it.

Zhang Quande knocked on the door for a long time, and the third uncle in cotton padded clothes got up with a few curses.

"Who is it!"

"Third uncle, it's me, Quande!"

Zhang Quande's third uncle was in his early sixties, but looked like an old man. He opened the door with a kerosene lamp, squinted his eyes, and looked around for a long time before seeing his nephew Zhang Quande.

In fact, this third uncle is just Zhang Quande's cousin, not even the slightest blood relationship, but it doesn't matter.

The reason why Zhang Quande was able to stay with his relatives was because of his successful performance in life and work over the years.

Zhang Quande has made a little money in the past few years, and he has nothing to say to his relatives. He has never broken any small favors. In the eyes of his relatives, he is the best among his relatives, and he is always referred to him for anything.

In fact, Zhang Quande also had a tragic past.

These days, farmers work hard for a year, and the harvest is only 80 yuan for a good harvest. For those with a poor harvest, they have to drag their families to flee famine every year to beg for rice. When his mother was young, she fled famine to Zhangjiawan. His mother was deeply attracted by seeing rapeseed flowers all over the ground.

It's a pity that he was almost choked to death by a mouthful of rape blossoms, but he was rescued when he met his father. Since then, Zhang Quande was also born in Zhangjiawan.

Those who can marry a woman fleeing from famine, the family conditions are naturally the kind of masters who eat the last meal and never leave the next meal. Zhang Quande grew up by stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child. Over the years, he has done all kinds of work. In his production team, he also fished for three days Two days of drying the net.

These days, those who dare to go out to do business are not very peaceful owners. Zhang Quande has been a salesman for several years, and he was not peaceful at the beginning. His family has been poor since he was a child. host.

In his generation, times have changed, and poverty has become a capital to show off. Back then, he had a fight with his teacher at school. In the early years, he heard that many farmers in the coastal areas had made a fortune in business, and they were bold and hungry. What a coward.

As early as 75, Zhang Quande was secretly doing business and was arrested. However, as the policy became more and more liberal, Zhang Quande dared to openly become a shopkeeper. In the past two years, Zhang Quande also made a small fortune.

Zhang Quande can speak well, and has become a well-known shopkeeper in these ten miles and eight villages. His relatives occasionally drag him to buy some things, and his interpersonal relationship is also handled very well.

No, when his third uncle saw that it was Zhang Quande, he immediately lost his temper and hurriedly called Zhang Quande into the house.

After entering the house, Zhang Quande put down his burden, took out two pieces of soap from the shelf, and handed them to the third uncle.

"Third Uncle, last time you said that the baby has a lot of lice in her hair, I dragged someone to buy some pieces of sulfur soap from Shanghai, and you use it when you bathe the baby. This soap can kill insects, and the effect is very good!"

When his third uncle saw the soap, his eyes lit up and he accepted it half-heartedly. Now he was even more enthusiastic and shouted to his wife who was sleeping in the back room.

"Mother, Quande is here, get up and make a bowl of noodles for Quande!"

The arrival of Zhang Quande made the house lively again. The third aunt also got up and cooked a bowl of noodles for him. The dolls asked for two pieces of candy before they were willing to go back to sleep. Everything was so harmonious.

Zhang Quande finished his noodles with peace of mind, washed his face with hot water, and soaked his feet before going to bed. The third aunt was afraid that he would be cold, so she specially added a layer of old black quilt. The quilt was thick and hard. , at least the product before liberation.

After driving for a day, Master Zhang lay on the bed, took a deep breath comfortably, and just closed his eyes when he heard the creaking sound on the attic, which made him open his eyes suddenly, and he quickly got up, his third uncle was about to go to bed, and was taken away Came to inquire with a kerosene lamp.

"Quan De, haven't you finished peeing yet?"

Zhang Quande took out a package tied with a small rubber band from under the shelf under the dim light, and carefully opened the package, revealing something wrapped in an old newspaper.

Opening it carefully, more than twenty pieces emitting blue light appeared in front of him.

Zhang Quande carefully put these things under the bed. After finishing all this, he explained to his third uncle that it was rat poison, and then went back to bed.

After a tiring day, Zhang Quande soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
