Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Mooncake Festival.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. He Xi promised his family to come back early for dinner. There was a backpack tied on each side of the back seat of a bicycle, which was full of delicious pastries.

The family has been spending a lot recently, and everyone except Xiao Yan has bought new clothes, sweaters and trousers. As for why Xiao Yan has nothing, you should ask him.

The other party only took the food coupons and the money to buy food, but didn't give the extra portion. What about the money for the vegetables? What about the money for the seasoning? What about the money for her cakes? What about the money for the firewood and the room? He Xi was generous enough without calculating any of them.

You are curious about his salary, right? In summary, one month's salary is enough for him to eat for six months? The answer is definitely not enough.

Let’s not talk about him for now. He Xi plans to go to Wang Qiang in the black market first. Making quick money is important.

He Xi's long hair is piled on her snow-white neck. Her sweater is soft and not bulky. She looks like a child who is loved by everyone. The sweater, which is mostly red, and the military pants, although it is the simplest outfit, cannot hide the girl's inner confidence.

After knocking twice, it was Wang Qiang's younger brother who opened the door. The other party's tone was full of surprise: "What a rare visitor. I haven't seen you for a while."

He Xi naturally answered with a smile, explaining the reason for the recent inaction and her own anxious mood.

Wang Qiang came out of the house, putting on a sweater as he walked, and said in a muffled voice: "I thought you had retired from the underworld."

"How could that be possible? My brother recently went home to visit his family and brought his comrades with him. It was just inconvenient."

Wang Qiang put on his clothes, stretched his head to look at He Xi's two backpacks, and sniffed curiously: "No jujube cakes this time?"

"Well, we're out of raw materials, so my brother gave the rest to me to make and take away. But we have new products, so as usual you can try them first."

He Xi took out a few pieces of toast and divided them into two portions for everyone to try. They had all seen or eaten bread before, but this was the first time they had ever seen bread so soft and fluffy.

The dilated pupils and the expression of enjoyment made He Xi feel very accomplished, and it seemed that the diners were very satisfied. I dare not say anything else, but He Xi had an infinite yearning and pursuit for eating. Before she traveled through time, she was poor, but that did not mean she had no pursuit.

He Xi found a place to sit down, bask in the sun, feel the warmth, and have a lot of ideas about the future.

Is it expensive to sell all the cakes for 300 yuan? However, things are more valuable because they are scarce.

They hoped that He Xi could provide long-term supply, but He Xi said it was a bit difficult, and even more difficult after it snowed. After discussion, they accepted He Xi's intermittent shipments.

He Xi simply rented the courtyard for a year, with 2,000 kilograms of flour and rice each. He had the money, so he spent it. He wouldn't become the richest man anyway if he kept it.

Today, nine hundred yuan was deposited into He Xi's personal account, and the total personal cash on hand was three thousand yuan.

Still far from being the richest man.

It’s an old habit. When I make money, I must buy things. The cotton for two quilts is like an ant moving slowly so as not to attract attention.

After reporting the work in detail to Director Huang Jing of the supply and marketing cooperative and buying some white thread for making quilts, I returned home in high spirits. A meeting was still being held in the village.

From a distance, I could hear the village chief's impassioned speech: "Fellow villagers, educated youth, let us prepare for a better next year. Next year will surely be a good year for a good harvest..."

He Xi put his things away and walked into the conference with brisk steps. He brought his own bench and sat in the open air, imagining the future and reminiscing about the past, relying on his enthusiasm to resist the cold wind from the mountains.

Everyone was flushed with cold. He Xi accurately found where his parents were, sat on Lu Jinan's warm stool, and listened to the village chief's passionate speech with peace of mind.

The final step is to collectively plan and hash out urban and rural poverty alleviation strategies.

The enthusiastic crowd quieted down in an instant, the atmosphere cooled down too quickly, with only the whistling north wind and the hot air. The village chief brought up this matter as usual, just to go through the motions, and the quiet environment indicated that this year's conference could come to an end.

He Xi was waiting for other ideas. They were waiting for the village chief to say that the meeting was over and they could go home.

Lu Jinan looked at He Xi with a supportive expression on her face. He Xi also believed in herself. She stood up and said, "I have a suggestion."

Except for the village cadres and He Xi's family, everyone else's face was filled with displeasure. It seemed that they could not go home again. It was another unrealistic idea. People who have been to school love to dream.

He Xi chuckled: "Since everyone doesn't want to make money, then forget it. When the time comes, don't say that my family makes money without caring about everyone's life or death."

Lu Jinan's breath also turned cold. Dare to bully his childhood sweetheart? Fine, then prepare to starve.

Lu Jinan held the stool in one hand and pulled He Xi's sweater sleeve with the other, and the two left calmly, not caring about the discussions behind them.

Liu Sheng stared at the people present and spoke for He Xi: "You don't know good from bad, you deserve to be poor."

"Hey, kid, is this how you in the Li family discipline your children?" An elder in the clan was dissatisfied with Liu Sheng's attitude.

What the other elders were concerned about was He Xi's unspoken proposal. What if she could succeed? One of the elders assigned his grandson to go find He Xi and bring her back.

A young man was chasing after He Xi and Lu Jinan. He Xi had just mentioned that he wanted to make a new quilt for Lu Jinan. He felt warm in his heart and regretted his decision in his previous life more and more.

When he was suddenly interrupted, an angry expression appeared on his face. He didn't look back or say a word, but just stopped and waited quietly for the other person to catch up.

The young man panted slightly: "Don't leave, the elders asked you to go back."

He Xi raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. He had fair skin and tender flesh. How come he had never done any farm work like himself?

The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls has really made life difficult for the girls in his family.

The young man met He Xi's gaze and looked at her. The fair and clean-skinned girl was so likable that his ears turned red unconsciously.

Lu Jinan turned around and happened to see his red ears. He felt ashamed of being robbed right under his nose. He stood between the two of them and his hot breath hit He Xi's head: "Go back?"

"I suddenly want to go home and make a quilt." He Xi looked up at him, and then she laughed first.

As the villagers wanted to go home early, the three people returned.

He Xi returned to his previous position, but just stood and talked.

Her expression was firm, without any unnecessary panic: "Build a vegetable greenhouse and grow summer vegetables in winter."

"Tsk, you are just dreaming. I am freezing to death. If I don't heat the kang in winter, I can't even live, let alone eat vegetables."

He Xi praised him: "You got the point. We need a stove inside to keep warm and raise the temperature. Similarly, we also need straw curtains outside to keep warm and control the temperature."

"What about the cost?" The village chief is most concerned about the burden.

He Xi touched his chin and simply calculated his own costs: "It will cost about ten to twenty yuan, mainly depending on the size of the greenhouse."

As soon as the cost price was announced, the villagers who had been eager to try it just now backed out. Too many families could not afford it and dared not try it. If they lost money, how would they survive in the next year?

"What about sales?" The village party secretary wanted to know that if everyone grew vegetables, there would definitely be problems with sales.

This made He Xi particularly proud. Director Huang of the town's supply and marketing cooperative strongly supported her business. Her parents and brother were real farmers. She felt sorry for them when she saw them working so hard for a living. However, her ability was limited and she could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

"Director Huang from the town's supply and marketing cooperative said she would buy it. The price depends on the quality, and it will definitely not be less than five cents per pound."

"Five cents? Vegetables are two cents per pound. Can she really give such a high price?" The village chief became interested.

"Well, I've dealt with Director Huang several times, and I even discussed plans with her today."

A rebuttal voice appeared in the crowd: "Whatever you say is true? What if you are kidding us?"

"That's right. If we lose money, who will pay for it?"

……

She said a lot of nasty things, but He Xi didn't take them to heart. It was a voluntary transaction, so why should she be responsible for your profit or loss?

He Xi waited until everyone had finished complaining before he started talking again: "You have to bear the profits and losses of your own business. I just proposed my plan. It's up to you whether to do it or not. Don't put the blame on me."

"Go home." He Xi called her family home, "I'm hungry."

"Those who are willing to work can come to my house and take a look at my greenhouse. I will guide you on technical issues. Those who are not willing to work should stop making sarcastic remarks." He Xi looked at people with a strange and cold look. She was not a native villager of the other side, so where did the enthusiasm come from?

The results were quite good. The village chief, the party secretary's family, Liu Sheng's family, and several wealthy clan elders came to visit and learn.
