"Dong dong dong—" Zhou Man knocked on the door.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a soft male voice said: "Which one?"

"Li Min, I'm Zhou Man."

The door creaked open, and a tall man came out.Zhou Man is already tall, and he is even taller than Zhou Man, at least six feet (1.9+).The man's muscles were tangled all over, and he also had a fierce look on his face. He was very scary if he didn't smile, and he looked like a gangster when he smiled.Ying Feichi thought of the soft voice he heard just now, and thought that the person who opened the door would be a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, who knows...

"Squad leader!" Li Min was obviously very happy to see Zhou Man, but when he saw someone standing beside Zhou Man, his face sank, and he said in a rough voice, "Come in."

Seeing his displeasure, Ying Feichi glanced at Zhou Man quietly, and asked with his mouth: Did I make him unhappy?

No.Zhou Man smiled and shook his head, he was embarrassed.

Thinking of his mountain-like figure and tender willow-like voice, Ying Feichi couldn't help feeling amused, and at the same time sympathized with him.

Li Min led the people in. The room was very small, with only one bedroom and one living room.A bed was placed in the narrow living room, and pots, pans and other things were placed in one corner.Li Min asked them to sit down on bamboo chairs, poured water for them, looked at Zhou Man from time to time, and seemed to be worried about Ying Feichi, so he just didn't speak.

Zhou Man drank water to moisten his throat, and said seriously: "Ying Feichi lives with me, not someone else."

Li Min was relieved by one sentence, he wrinkled his face fiercely, and said frowningly, "Squad leader..."

He couldn't continue after he started talking, the words in his stomach were backlogged in his throat, and he didn't know where to start.

Seeing that he was a big man with red eye circles, Zhou Man couldn't help but asked with concern: "The distribution is still not settled?"

Li Min is the only child in his family, and he was given high hopes since he was a child. He also strives for success, and his grades were very good when he graduated from junior high school.But God's will tricks people, somehow he was admitted to the teacher's technical secondary school!God knows how such a big man can be a teacher. A child with such a fierce face must cry when he sees it!Since childhood, the children around him didn't like to play with him and were afraid of him. This is already aggrieved enough.But it happened that the house leaked all night and it rained all night, the boat was late and there was a headwind. Other boys' voices changed into male duck voices, but Li Min did not have an obvious voice change period, and always maintained the soft voice of his youth.That soft and cute voice couldn't be more cheating!If it wasn't for the fact that the key parts are very majestic, Li Min would have thought she was a woman!

Because of the big difference between Xiong Wei's appearance and the soft and cute voice, every time he communicates with people, the other party looks at him with a look of hell, and the roar in his heart-shock, ridicule, disdain for interaction, etc. Emotions come from the expression Performed brilliantly.Therefore, Li Min was very withdrawn in the normal school, and only compared with Zhou Man.Because Zhou Man is the class monitor, he treats him like an ordinary person, neither afraid of his appearance nor laughing at his voice.When she graduated, she heard that Zhou Man voluntarily applied to return to their village. Li Min was still very sad, and almost applied to follow her.But it was almost too close, because the school missed Li Min when assigning work.

He can't be a teacher without an assignment, and he has sick parents at home. How can he survive without income?Li Min was so anxious that he almost jumped off the building. After asking again and again, he realized that his position had been replaced by someone. According to various unspoken rules, he would not be able to get that job back.After Li Min heard the news, he not only wanted to jump off the building, but also wanted to kill people. It was Zhou Man who tried to dissuade him so that he did not act impulsively.

It has been two months now, when Li Min saw Zhou Man again and mentioned this matter again, he almost shed tears.

Zhou Manjian knew that everything was still in trouble when he didn't get an answer to his questions.

In his last life... Zhou Man remembered it clearly, because Li Min was one of the few friends he had had a good relationship with since he was 15 when he was 40 years old in technical secondary school until he was 41 years old.Why did Zhou Man die at the age of 40 in the last life, but their friendship only lasted to [-]?

Because Li Min... committed suicide when Zhou turned 40 years old.

After Li Min's job was replaced by someone in his previous life, he had been trying his best to get back his job, but he was unsuccessful, and then he joined the army.Then he retired from the army and worked as an assistant policeman when he changed jobs, and then worked as a security guard and so on.Zhou Manyi has been communicating with him by letter.When Guanjiang Primary School was canceled around 05 and Zhou Man decided to venture out, the first job was introduced by Li Min.Later, Zhou Man opened a factory with someone and asked Li Min to work, but Li Min fell in love with an artistic youth and wandered around with that man.Zhou Man tried to persuade him, but Li Min didn't listen, and that artistic young man also pushed Li Min to ask him to go around with him.Li Min didn't want anything because of that man, and even quarreled with his family, but finally found out that he was infected with AIDS—it was the man behind his back and infected him with the disease.And at this time, Li Min's parents died of illness.

"Aman, I regret it. If I could do it again, I would never go with him, and I would never leave my parents behind. I thought he was the only person in the world who didn't mind my appearance and voice. I thought He understands me, but he just wants to find someone to earn money for him to spend. Aman, thank you for helping me take care of my parents, thank you for always persuading me, my life is a failure, I have no face to live in this world , and can no longer live, I am afraid of spreading the disease to others. Aman, after I die, you bring my ashes back to L City, I want to go home. Aman...I really want to go home...I I want to eat stuffed tofu made by my mother..."

Zhou Man clearly remembered every word in the recording that Li Min left for him. He had few relatives and relationships in his life. Among the few friends, Li Min was the one he cared about the most.But in the end, he failed to take good care of Li Min. On the contrary, because of his inability to do anything when he was a teenager and the momentary soft-heartedness of his adulthood, he was driven to a dead end. In the end, he jumped down from a building tens of meters high on the construction site, and even his last words were Police | Handed over by the police.

Memories surged, and he was almost overwhelmed by overlapping regrets.If he could have pulled Li Min to Guanjiang Village back then, if he could have prevented Li Min from falling in love with that person, if he could have locked Li Min up and prevented him from wandering...

All of a sudden, a warm touch came from his hand, Zhou Man woke up with a start, looked up, and saw the gentle, warm and caring eyes, like the rising sun illuminating and warming everything.

"Zhou Man." Ying Feichi held his hand and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

He's busy, but he's fine.Because he had accumulated so much regret in his previous life—the death of Li Min and the death of his relatives in Guanjiang Village—that's why he broke into the rainstorm and was buried by the mountain to be reborn.Since you haven't forgotten the past, you should cherish the present even more, take every step well, and let every regret in the past turn into happiness in this life.

"I'm fine, I'm just distracted." Zhou Man took a breath, said with a smile, and couldn't help rubbing Ying Feichi's head.Perhaps because there was no Ying Feichi in the previous life, and there was no debt or regret to him, Zhou Man always felt very warm and relaxed by his side.

"Hair..." Ying Feichi grumbled, and sat obediently to rub it for him.

Zhou Man rubbed his whole body to feel comfortable, and then said to Li Min: "Li Min, I am here this time to do business with you."

Li Min was still in grief, with red eye circles, when he heard the words, he turned to look at Zhou Man, and sniffed before speaking: "...Do, do business?"

"Well, I want to open a store in the city to sell our village's specialties." Zhou Man said, "This matter will grow gradually, and I don't feel relieved to hand it over to other people. Would you like to cooperate with me?" ?”

In this day and age, you can make money by doing business, but opening a small shop in the city is not guaranteed, and it is not a daily necessities shop, but a specialty shop.

Li Min hesitated, he actually planned to join the army.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Man added: "I already have a plan for how to operate. You don't have to worry about your appearance being scary, and you don't have to worry about not being able to do business. I will teach you what to do when and where. Let me do it first, as long as you are not afraid of suffering, you can ride a tricycle and set up a stall on the street." He added: "Just don't be afraid of losing face!"

"Of course I'm not afraid!" Li Min stood up suddenly, "I'm so big, what can I be afraid of!"

puff!Ying Feichi pursed his lips and snickered, this Li Min really has a simple personality, even Zhou Man's straightforward provocative methods can stimulate him!

After a little calculation, Zhou Man, his friend, looked as usual, and he didn't seem to be playing tricks at all. "Then it's settled. Let's talk about the specific actions now. Li Min, sit down first."

"Oh!" Li Min sat down in a disciplined manner, just like a student finished answering the question.

Zhou Man pointed to the big luggage bag by the door and said: "There are two catties of dried ganoderma lucidum and twenty catties of dried bamboo shoots in it, and I have 25 yuan here. Take the money and go buy the dried bamboo shoots sold in the market first." And Ganoderma lucidum, wholesale with others. The current dried bamboo shoots are about 13 cents a catty, you buy ten catties first. Lingzhi is more expensive, about 10 yuan per catty, you buy half a catty, pay attention to choose a little more small Ganoderma lucidum when buying With the remaining ten dollars, you can buy a tricycle, two aluminum pots, a few cups, and two stoves. The size of the aluminum pot is about 200 liters, and the cup must be about 10 ml. Wait for you to set up a stall on the street I use the stove to boil water, one pot to cook my Ganoderma lucidum, and the other pot to cook the purchased Ganoderma lucidum. The signboard of the tricycle reads Guanjiang Specialty Products, and the following line of small characters reads: Ganoderma lucidum soup, dried Ganoderma lucidum, and dried bamboo shoots. Remember to cook the soup Choose the smallest Ganoderma lucidum and put it in. If the Ganoderma lucidum is more than two centimeters in diameter, it should be cut in half or even more, and half a pair of Ganoderma lucidum will be boiled in [-] liters of water."

Every time Zhou Man said a word, Li Min nodded, "How do you calculate the price?"

"Our Ganoderma lucidum is 30 yuan per catty, dried bamboo shoots are 2 yuan per catty, purchased Ganoderma lucidum is 15 yuan per catty, and dried bamboo shoots are 1 yuan per catty. Ganoderma lucidum water sells for ten cents for our Ganoderma lucidum, and five cents for bought ones. "

Li Min took a piece of paper and brushed and wrote, then looked up blankly: "Squad leader, why don't you sell dried bamboo shoots and ganoderma lucidum separately? How much can you bring out of the village each time?"

"Why don't you understand?" Ying Feichi couldn't help interjecting, "Zhou Man is trying to sell things from the village, and buying things from outside is just for foil. When customers see the signboard, they must ask: How much is Ganjiang Ganoderma lucidum per catty? Of course you can say 30 yuan. People may say: so expensive! You have to take the opportunity to say: we have cheap ones here, but the effect is not so good. He will not believe it, so you Pour the ganoderma soup for him to taste. If he suspects that you used magic to make the ganoderma soup different, you...you just..."

The child who wears ancient times can't think of a way, so you can't say that you just report to the master and let him go to the sect to smash the brand, right?

"You just show your ID card. If he is cheated, ask him to call the police and arrest someone." Zhou Man said, stroking Ying Feichi's head casually. The child said it very well. "Li Min, people nowadays may not pay much attention to naturalness. You have to work hard to sell medicinal effects. But you must always remember to emphasize that the things in our Guanjiang Village are all natural and have not undergone any chemical processing. After a few years people will They will recognize our brand and will not buy other people’s Ganoderma lucidum and dried bamboo shoots.”

"How many years?" Li Min frowned, how did he know?

Zhou Man thought that he hated it for too long, and was afraid that he would not want to go on the path of joining the army, demobilizing, finding a job and meeting scumbags, so he added: "Li Min, by next spring at the latest, we can earn a good reputation. "

"A facade!" Li Min was speechless, and then said aggrievedly, "Squad leader, I don't think it takes too long to make money, but I'm curious how you know that after a few years people will care about what is natural or not. But it doesn't matter now , I will work hard to sell things!"

We must also work hard to make the brand of Guanjiang Village famous.Zhou Man added in his heart and explained some things, Li Min also made some comments of his own, and Ying Feichi also interjected a few words.The three of them talked until the afternoon before finishing their discussion. Zhou Man led Ying Feichi to stand up.

"We're going back."

"Now?" Li Min hurriedly stopped him, "When you get to the town by car, the sun will already be setting."

"It's okay." Zhou Man smiled meaningfully. "Li Min, we have special skills when we dare to sell things from the mountains. At least you don't have to worry about traveling."

Li Min looked at the pile of things in the corner, thinking about the time when the two knocked on the door this morning, silently calculated inwardly, and then froze:

How does it feel...the two of them are faster than taking a car? !

Zhou Man looked at Ying Feichi and smiled, and led the people downstairs, leaving Li Min with a tacit understanding of his back.
