Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. This is the current mentality of the Ma family.

They were really frightened by Ma Qianjin's reselling of cigarettes. At this time, even if Tang Shu broke the news, they would not dare to sell anything again, especially something with such a high profit.

Tang Shu understood their feelings very well, and more importantly, he believed that his off-season vegetables were definitely not enough to sell for himself, so he was really reluctant to share some of them with them.

"Otherwise, as long as you can persuade the master to help us transport it, no matter how much he charges for shipping, I will give you an extra fifteen yuan, which is considered an introduction fee. What do you think?"

The Ma family's daughter-in-law and the eldest son looked at each other and both felt that this plan was good. It was just a matchmaking without taking any risks. Even if there was any ulterior motives, it was the business of these two young people and Xu Yougui.

No matter how hard the police try, they can't catch their family.

After a brief discussion, the Ma family's daughter-in-law readily agreed to Tang Shu's request. The two parties agreed on a time and place to meet, and then began to separate.

Tang Shu and Shao Xianjun returned to Xinmin Village by car. Tang Wei'an and Wang Juxiang had already placed most of the vegetables in categories, waiting to be transported away.

In the early morning of the next day, the three of them stood on the river bank and waited eagerly. Sure enough, at the previously agreed time, an empty boat was sailing upstream along the Sanyang River, slowly cruising towards the dock with the roar of the motor.

Come.

Seeing someone waving to him on the river bank, Xu Yougui, the ship's boss, turned the rudder in a circle. The cargo ship made a circle of waves in the water and stopped very accurately on the water not far from the dock.

A springboard stretched out along the side of the ship and rested firmly on the stone steps beside the pier. The boss of the Ma family immediately jumped onto the shore from the cabin: "How about it? This ship is big enough."

"That's enough. We can definitely transport them all in one trip."

Seeing the other party looking at him with a straight look, Tang Shu immediately understood what the other party meant, took out fifteen yuan from his pocket and patted the Ma family boss's hand: "I promise you, I won't miss a cent.

"

The boss of the Ma family was not polite and stuffed the money directly into the innermost layer of his clothes, then waved goodbye to Xu Yougui. When he came, he said he would never be involved in this matter, so don't let him know about this transportation.

What exactly is it.

After the boss of the Ma family left the dock without looking back, Xu Yougui stepped onto the springboard and landed: "You two young men, I don't care about you transporting things, but there are some things you must make clear in advance. I will not do any illegal activities. If

If you want me to help with loading and unloading, you will have to pay extra."

"It's not heavy. We can do it by ourselves. You can just rest next to it."

Hearing that he didn't have to help with the transportation, Xu Yougui was so happy that he went back to the cabin to catch up on his sleep. Tang Wei'an had already borrowed a cart from the village. The vegetable greenhouse was not far from the dock, so it was not particularly difficult for the three of them to move it.

Hearing that the contents of the yurt were finally being taken away, the villagers all became interested. Tang Wei'an kept it a secret for half a year. They really wanted to find out what the secret was.

So, within a few moments, all the old and young people in the village came out and stood in darkness on both sides of the Tang family's vegetable greenhouse, waiting to see what they were bringing out.

"It's out." While everyone was whispering in small groups, the firewood door of the greenhouse opened, and Tang Wei'an pulled the cart and showed his head from inside. Everyone stretched their necks and widened their eyes, and then a voice came from the crowd.

Laughing, "What kind of treasure do I think it is? Isn't it just Chinese cabbage grown in the ground? Who hasn't planted a few of these things, so why do they cover them so tightly?"

The person who spoke had sharp eyes and recognized the things on the car at a glance. The others were reminded and also laughed. This thing should not be too common in rural areas. Some people grow more at home and eat it all winter.

This makes me feel sick to my stomach when I see it. Is it possible that Tang Wei'an plans to bring the cabbage to the city to sell it?

But while they were smiling, they felt something was wrong.

"What's in the front is a few cabbages, what's in the back?"

"Look at the long and thin shape, it looks like a cucumber..."

"Cucumber?" How is this possible? Cucumbers grow in winter? Which cucumber seeds can germinate in winter?

Just the sudden appearance of half a cart of cucumbers shocked everyone present. For these farmers who had been dealing with the land for half their lives, what Tang Weian pulled out completely overturned the worldview they had established in the first half of their lives.

And as Tang Wei'an came back and pulled the cart out again, everyone at the scene opened their mouths in unison, but could no longer make any sound. The scene fell into an almost eerie silence.

The only sound was the sound of the axle turning as Tang Vian pulled the cart toward the pier.

The purple ones are eggplants, the red ones are tomatoes, and the yellow ones are corns? Tang Wei'an actually grew corns in such cold weather! If not everyone saw this scene, they would all think there was something wrong with their eyes.

Also about to go crazy was Xu Yougui, the boss of the ship. At first, he was still in the cabin with his eyes closed and concentrating. When Tang Shu moved the first load of things onto the ship, he couldn't help but take a curious look, which almost made him slip in.

Sanyang River.

As more and more vegetables were loaded onto the boat, Xu Yougui had long lost his initial shock. He had been running boats on the canal, and his knowledge was certainly much better than that of the idle men in Xinmin Village. In just a flash of thought, Xu Yougui realized

These items are definitely popular items that can be sold at high prices.

About an hour later, all the vegetables in the greenhouse were loaded onto the ship. Tang Shu, who was in charge of pressing the ship, was pulled directly into the cabin by Xu Yougui: "Little brother, can we make a deal?"

Tang Shu glanced at the boat boss with a smile on his face: "Are you going to ask for my vegetables?"

Xu Yougui rubbed his hands: "I can help you drive to the county for free. How about you share my car?"

"Not very good." Tang Shu waved his hand and refused.

This old guy really made a good calculation. Vegetables out of season are indeed popular and the price will not be low. But in normal times, I am afraid not many people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them back just to have a taste.

But now it is the end of the twelfth twelfth lunar month, and in a few days it will be the Spring Festival. You must know that the Spring Festival is of extraordinary significance to every ordinary person, especially in the early 1980s when poverty had not been completely eradicated.

Because the income is low, ordinary people live a prudent life. Bringing a pound of pork home usually can be regarded as an improvement in life. They only dare to waste extravagantly during the Chinese New Year. At this time, they spend more money than usual. At home,

No one will blame me.

And these off-season vegetables are served on the table on New Year’s Eve, which can definitely elevate the New Year’s Eve dinner at home by several levels.

Therefore, if Xu Yougui asked for a cart of vegetables to be used as freight, he would definitely make a profit. If he could resell it later, he would be able to save several trips on the ship.

"I will pay the 20 yuan for shipping, but don't try to take advantage of me. I can give you a cart of these vegetables, but you must buy them at wholesale prices."

Tang Shu's fresh vegetables had no worries about being sold. Xu Yougui felt that even if he spent some capital, he could make back the money. The two parties quickly agreed on the price, and the cargo ship slowly sailed into the Sanyang River waterway under Xu Yougui's control.

.

As soon as the delivery ship left, Shao Xianjun rushed to the national highway to wait for the bus. He needed to go back to pick up Tang Shu before he arrived at the Jiangcheng County Canal Wharf. Based on the current ship speed, it would take Xu Yougui nearly three hours to dock. Shao Xianjun

Arrive early with plenty of time.

The cargo ship went south along the waterway, turned around at the end of the Sanyang River and entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It was calm all the way, and Xu Yougui drove the ship smoothly. After passing the gate in Yiling Town, the ship had already entered the county waters.

, driving west for a few hours, the canal dock in the east of Jiangcheng County slowly appeared in front of Tang Shu's eyes.

At the pier, Shao Xianjun, who arrived first, had been waiting for a long time with a group of friends who had made an appointment.

The transportation process went smoothly. Everyone helped unload the ship, and then sent it one by one to the small courtyard of the Tang family in the dormitory area of ​​the agricultural tool factory. Seven or eight people were busy until the evening, and the matter finally came to an end.

"Starting from tomorrow, we have to be a vegetable vendor again."
Chapter completed!
