A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

Li Wude really wanted to open Hu Dahai's head and see what kind of excrement was inside.

How come the things they do get more and more outrageous?

First they wanted to build a house in that unlucky place, and now they want to use rubbish to build a house.

"It's a bit inappropriate for you to use old bricks and tiles salvaged from other people's houses to build this new house, isn't it?"

“Even the poorest people in our brigade borrow money to build houses with good bricks. At most, they use old bricks and broken tiles to build walls. Do you really need that much money?”

Li Wude asked again, still puzzled.

"It's alright, it's alright." Hu Dahai waved his hand and said to Li Wude, "Go ahead and help me get rid of the broken bricks and tiles. It'll be a way to increase the income of our brigade."

Li Wude left, somewhat bewildered.

In fact, Hu Dahai originally planned to tell Li Wude that a road was going to be built here soon, but he was worried that if he told others, countless people would rush to build houses here and wait for demolition.

Human nature is always greedy and cannot withstand the test. If there are too many houses here, the government may consider that the compensation for demolition is too much money, and change the direction of the road.

Then he would have wasted his time. So he simply kept it a secret.

Hu Guanbao overheard their conversation.

Hu Guanbao's eyes lit up: This was his chance to impress his father!

Dad is going to build a house, and building a house definitely needs someone to oversee it. Hu Wangfei has to study and do housework, so the responsibility of Dad managing the house construction falls to me.

So he excitedly went to find Hu Dahai: "Dad, are you going to build a house?"

Hu Dahai: "Spit it out if you have something to say."

Hu Guanbao: "..."

It hurts my heart to see you treat your own son like this.

But Hu Guanbao still smiled obsequiously and said, "Dad, it's like this, I can help you supervise the construction of the house over there, which can be considered as helping out in some way."

"Anyway, Dad, if you find someone else to go and you have to pay them, why don't you let me go? I don't need to pay them."

Hu Dahai had no reason to refuse this free labor offer, and it would save him the trouble of finding someone else to supervise the work, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, then you go and keep an eye on it. Remember to build this house in the most economical way possible. As long as it looks good, it doesn't matter whether it's sturdy or not."

"Huh?" Hu Guanbao was completely dumbfounded: "How are we supposed to build this?"

"I've already asked the captain to help collect those discarded bricks and tiles. We'll use those to build it. As for the steel bars, we'll just use the thinnest and cheapest ones. We'll use whatever's cheapest," Hu Dahai said with a smile.

Hu Guanbao: "..."

He felt that his brain was completely inadequate.

My father is a bit abnormal. He worked so hard to acquire such a large piece of land, but the house he built was so perfunctory.

But adhering to the principle of doing whatever his father says, he still replied, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, Father."

Before long, as the weather turned colder, the vegetables at Hu Dahai's off-season vegetable base were growing very well.

Sun Tai's agricultural technology is indeed impressive. He even thought of the angles for those greenhouses, which can greatly increase the light intensity inside the greenhouses.

Meanwhile, each greenhouse is equipped with specialized semi-automatic temperature detection equipment and semi-automatic heating equipment to increase the temperature inside the large pots, as well as some semi-automatic water supply pipes, allowing the off-season vegetable base to achieve excellent planting results with minimal manpower.

In addition, Sun Tai also has some pesticides that he has formulated himself, which can greatly improve the soil's nutrients and fertility, and accelerate plant growth.

In the quiet passage of time, those green vegetables have grown from tiny green dots into lush, green clumps.

The yellow vines have already twined densely around the trellis, and many of them have bloomed with yellow flowers. Some even have small cucumbers, about the thickness of a finger, growing underneath them.

Sun Tai had small stones hung under each cucumber to straighten it, making it look better to sell.

The other vegetables are also growing at a very fast pace.

The 100 mu of land has been mostly completed during this period.

Of course, Hu Dahai also had to burn through a lot of money every day. If he hadn't been receiving cash for selling fish and seasonings to the two factories, he wouldn't have been able to keep burning through money like this every day.

Moreover, as his off-season vegetable business continues to expand, he needs to invest even more money. It's fair to say that while Hu Dahai appears to handle a lot of money every day, his cash flow is actually on the verge of collapse.

Finally, on this day, Ye Qinggang found Hu Dahai: "Brother-in-law, a batch of our off-season vegetables is ready to be sold."

As he spoke, he took out several green vegetables wrapped in plastic wrap, with a label labeled "Sun Tai Brand" on the wrap.

This label was designed by them together some time ago. It uses Sun Tai's name and a sketch of his portrait. It can be said that it has effectively promoted Sun Tai's name.

Off-season vegetables definitely need to be marketed as high-end products, so he insisted on putting a lot of effort into the quality of the produce in order to sell them at a higher price.

When Sun Tai saw his image appear on all the off-season vegetables, his face flushed with excitement. That night, he even drank two ounces of liquor, something he never did before. After getting drunk, he grabbed Hu Dahai and wanted to become sworn brothers with him, saying that he was Guan Yu and that he had finally met Liu Bei in this lifetime, spouting nonsense like that.

"Okay, prepare some for me in the first batch, and I'll deliver them to the city tomorrow." Hu Dahai was very satisfied: "So, what kind of sales model are you planning? Do you need me to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city today?"

"No need," Ye Qinggang immediately refused. "I still plan to distribute the goods myself first, because the profit margin will be higher that way. Besides, our off-season vegetable supply is not very large yet, and it can be easily consumed within Hangzhou. I have already made connections with the vegetable sellers, and when they learned that they could sell vegetables in winter, they all readily agreed."

"When we increase our volume in the future, we will go to the supply and marketing cooperative again. By then, our Suntai brand off-season vegetables will have already made a name for themselves in Hangzhou, and the supply and marketing cooperative will be less likely to pressure us on prices."

Ye Qinggang had thought things through very thoroughly. They had calculated that the purchase price from the supply and marketing cooperative was much lower than that from directly distributing goods to individual sellers, so he came up with this method.

Hu Dahai nodded without saying much. He believed in trusting those he didn't trust and letting Ye Qinggang do his thing.

Of course, Hu Dahai also has absolute confidence in his off-season vegetables.

So Hu Dahai delivered the vegetables to the state-owned textile factory that very day. When the factory's cooks saw the out-of-season vegetables, they were overjoyed and exclaimed, "Great! We can actually find vegetables of such good quality now. We're all in for a treat today!"

Hu Dahai even brought some vegetables to deliver to **, showing that social etiquette is still important.

"These dishes are great! I didn't expect you to actually make them. You're really talented."

Looking at the vegetables Hu Dahai brought, I couldn't help but admire them.

"Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. If you're determined, you can always make it happen," Hu Dahai said, and then prepared to go back.

Just as Hu Dahai was about to leave, ** suddenly called out, "Dahai, don't go yet. Do you have time tonight? There's a big exchange meeting in Hangzhou tonight. Do you want to go check it out? There's also a small auction inside. It should be quite interesting."

"Most of the factory directors of our state-owned factories have received invitations to the auction inside. Zhang Zhaoxing should be going too. If you want to go, I can take you in."

In the 1980s, whether in the countryside or the city, the exchange meeting was a lively and grand event.

However, the exchange will have different scenes in different places. In the countryside, the exchange will sell more local specialties, as well as clothes, snacks and the like.

In addition to the ordinary exchange meetings in the countryside, there are also some in the city that feature high-end products, such as jade jewelry and Chinese medicinal herbs. These exchange meetings are often organized by the government, which sends invitations to high-ranking people to participate.

Hu Dahai's eyes lit up when he heard this; he had thought of something.
