Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After arriving at Qianhuzhuang, the Knocking Tang Gang rested at a stop provided by the local restaurant.

Chen Jinshui also took the opportunity to introduce the local leader of Zuofang to Xiang Nan and Chen Jianghe, "This is the steward of Zuofang in Qianhu Village. You call me Grandpa Wang."

As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. The Tangtang Gang is able to do business all over the world, not only because of their own skills, but also because of the help of many friends.

Especially the local Zuofang. Without their help, it would be difficult for the Knocking Tang Gang to move forward. The Zuofang and the Kuantang Gang are also interdependent. Without the Kuantang Gang doing business, Zuofang would be unprofitable.

Therefore, both parties complement each other and are close business partners.

"These two children are still so young, and they are just following them out to travel around the world?" Grandpa Wang looked at Xiang Nan and Chen Jianghe in surprise.

Xiang Nan and Chen Jianghe both looked childish, only twelve or thirteen years old at most. And the youngest person who holds the responsibility is only fourteen or five years old.

After all, a sugar load weighs twenty or thirty kilograms, even if it is light. Even adults will suffer from back pain after walking for a day, which children simply cannot bear.

"Uncle Wang, although these two children are young, they are small but have great ambitions." Chen Jinshui said with a smile, "Besides, it will be good for them to take them out to see the world."

"Well, these two kids look smart at first glance." Grandpa Wang nodded, "Okay, Jin Shui, it seems that your candy gang has a successor."

…

After stopping at Qianhu Village, everyone in the Tangtang Gang separated and each chose a village to do business.

In the 1970s, people's spending power was limited. Generally speaking, it was enough to go to a village to sell candy. If we go too much, we will only divide each other's business.

So everyone went to their own villages and gathered back at Qianhuzhuang in the evening.

Xiang Nan followed Chen Jintu to the northwest and came to a small mountain village called Xiantao Village.

This village is located in the Jinhua Mountains, which is a branch of the Longmen Mountains. It stretches for nearly a hundred miles, covering an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers, and is home to more than a dozen villages, large and small.

These villages are located in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation, and it is naturally inconvenient to go shopping. Therefore, small traders like the Tangtang Gang have a place to play.

They carry the most scarce commodities for the mountain people, such as needles and threads, hairpins and buttons, matches and candles, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, etc. It is like a mini mobile grocery store.

These things are enough to solve the urgent needs of the people in the mountains. They don't have to go down the mountain to buy a needle, a bunch of thread, a box of matches.

"Son, shout." Chen Jintu ordered.

Xiang Nan then shook the rattle and shouted, "Broken copper and iron, chicken and duck feathers and goose feathers can be replaced~"

His voice was clear, loud, and full of energy. When he shouted it out, half of the village heard it.

"What a voice." Chen Jintu couldn't help but praise.

And as the voice shouted out, the villagers gathered around after hearing the sound. People buying things, exchanging things, watching the fun... After a while, they formed a circle.

Chen Jintu also became busy, bargaining, collecting money, making change, and knocking out candy. He was very busy.

Xiang Nan helped him guard the stall to prevent petty theft, and also helped him look out to prevent being caught by the village militia.

The two of us worked together tacitly and quickly made several deals.

Although the profit is not high, it is still a good start.

…

"Grandma, I want to eat candy too." At this time, a four or five-year-old child looked at the shiny, fragrant candy and couldn't help but drooled and begged his grandma.

In fact, let alone the 1970s when supplies were scarce, even in the 1990s, sugar was still considered a luxury product in rural areas, so it is certain that children will be greedy for sugar.

Especially when I see other children eating sweets but I don’t have any, I naturally become even more greedy.

But their family circumstances are different. From the patchwork clothes of the old lady, it can be seen that their family has little money, so they cannot afford even a small piece of candy.

"Good boy, let's not eat sweets. Let's go home and eat." The old lady said, pulling her grandson along.

"No, grandma, I just want to eat sweets, just want to eat sweets..." The child sat on the ground, pulling on grandma's sleeves, crying and shouting.

The cries were so violent that it made people feel heartbroken when they heard them.

"Let's go, let's go." Although the old lady loved her grandson, she really had no money, so she could only force her grandson to go while being cruel.

When Xiang Nan saw this, he couldn't bear it. He hurriedly broke off a small piece of candy the size of a peanut and handed it to the child, "Come on, stop crying. Brother, I'll treat you to some candy."

"Hey..." When Chen Jintu saw it, he was about to stop him, but the child took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

When Chen Jintu saw this, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

There are so many poor children in the world. According to my son's method of giving them away, even selling his family won't be enough.

The old lady was also very moved and took the child to thank her again and again, "You are such a kind person. Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand. He also saw the shadow of his own childhood in this child.

Xiang Nan also grew up in a rural area. When he was a child, his family was not well off, so it was difficult to get snacks. Candies, snacks, fruits, drinks, nuts... there was almost nothing, so he was very greedy and even cried several times.

So much so that when he earned money after working, he bought large and small bags of snacks to reward himself. The snack box was never empty. Pastries, potato chips, spicy strips, meat jerky... there are too many to eat and they are all expired.

It was not until later that he was severely obese due to eating too many snacks, which caused high blood pressure, that he forcibly gave up snacks.

Later, Xiang Nan studied psychology and realized that the reason why he liked snacks so much was to make up for the lack of food he had when he was a child. The injuries suffered in childhood take a lifetime to heal.

…

After the transaction was over, everyone dispersed.

Chen Jintu then said to his son, "Dagang, this candy is our treasure, we can't give it away casually. There are many children in the world who are greedy for candy, and I have seen dads who cried so much, but he didn't give a piece away. Pass.

why? Because I can’t deliver it. Our candy-making business is a small profit-making business. How can we afford to give away gifts like this? We will never allow it in the future. "

"I know, Dad." Xiang Nan nodded.

In fact, Chen Jintu doesn't need to explain this, he understands it himself. It's just that their patterns are different.

For Chen Jintu, this candy is his root, his life, and his hope for getting rich.

For Xiang Nan, it is really easy to get rich. Not to mention just a piece of candy, even if it's millions or tens of millions, he doesn't take it seriously.

At this moment, I saw the old lady just came back again, holding a celadon bowl in her hand, "Son, thank you for the piece of candy you gave my grandson just now. We really don't have anything valuable at home, so we just gave it to you." I’ll give you a bowl of sorghum rice.”

Xiang Nan's eyes lit up when he saw it.
