After planting the rice seedlings and planting the sweet potatoes, nothing happened in the village for the time being. Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor back to the county.
Before leaving, he went to find Gao Zhuang and gave Gao Zhuang the task of collecting medicinal materials.
This kind of medicinal collection is not only possible in autumn. There are different medicinal materials that can be harvested throughout the year. For example, some medicinal materials are flowers, so in spring and summer, the flowers can be picked and dried.
If the medicinal part is a seed, it is mostly harvested in autumn; if it is a rhizome, it is mostly excavated in winter or early spring.
Gao Mingcheng said: "In the past, when people in the village wanted to sell medicinal materials, they would bring them to my house. Now I am not at home often and have many things on my hands, so I can't take care of this anymore."
"I'll leave this matter to you. When you receive enough medicinal materials, use your bicycle to take them to the pharmaceutical factory in the county and sell them. I will say hello to the pharmaceutical factory and you can go there then. Okay, just tell me your name, it will save a lot of trouble."
"Okay." Gao Zhuang agreed. He was capable of doing this. If he did it well, he would be able to make some money from it.
The matter of collecting and selling medicines was left to Gao Zhuang.
But the things in his field and Xiaofu Mountain were left to Zhang Chengyuan, and because there were more things to do than before, Gao Mingcheng directly offered to pay him.
On weekdays, when he is not at home, Zhang Chengyuan has to help him take care of the livestock at home, as well as the vegetables in the fields and the fruit trees in Xiaofu Mountain.
This is a lot to say, but Gao Mingcheng himself will come back to work from time to time, and when he needs a lot of planting or picking, he will definitely hire more people to do the work.
Zhang Chengyuan only needs daily management.
To this, Zhang Chengyuan also agreed.
He doesn't have much land at home, so he has the time and energy to do these things. Besides, this time he is being offered a serious salary. Who can refuse this?
After arranging these two things, Gao Mingcheng felt that his burden was much lighter. He loaded up a truckload of goods from Gao Shouwang's garment workshop and drove all the way to the county.
Last winter, he got a cotton vest as a way to attract traffic, and this summer he got T-shirts. A row of high-quality and low-price T-shirts was hung at the entrance of the clothing store, which was very eye-catching.
When Gao Mingcheng arrived at the clothing store, he found that the business in the store was pretty good, and many people were inquiring about renting wedding dresses.
In May, the weather gradually improved, and it was already a good year, with neither cold nor hot weather.
Some happy events are mostly held at this time, and the appearance of wedding dresses instantly attracts the favor of many beauty-loving ladies.
Last time, when many beauties wore wedding dresses and went to a photography store to take pictures, it attracted a lot of attention, which was considered an advertisement.
Gao Mingcheng came in from the backyard, first moved the goods in the tractor compartment, and then went to the store to see the situation.
Nowadays, many beautiful women are in much better condition. Although they still feel nauseous sometimes, they can at least eat. Under her cultivation, Luo Li gradually grew up and was able to sell clothes independently.
"Mingcheng, you're back!" Duo Mei was sitting at the checkout counter. When she heard the movement in the backyard, she looked over. When she saw Gao Mingcheng back, her eyes immediately lit up.
"How beautiful, I'm back. Are you okay?" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, while looking up and down at the beautiful women, he didn't find anything wrong, so he felt relieved.
Compared with before, many beauties now have rosy complexions and are much more energetic.
"I'm pretty good. I just visit the store, collect money and keep accounts. Shufang and Luo Li do the other things, so they won't bother me." Duo Mei said with a smile, seeing Gao Mingcheng bring in a few bags of goods. , immediately said: "Fortunately you have purchased the goods, otherwise there would not be much inventory in the store. Do you know? Many people from Baodao have come to invest in our county! Those Baodao people are rich, and they don't have much money." People who go out with luggage always come here to buy it.”
"Buy it for yourself, or for your relatives and friends. Our store is quite famous in this county, so they all come to our store to buy clothes. The goods you bought in Yangcheng last time were already It’s 80% sold.”
As Duo Mei spoke, she handed the latest account book to Gao Mingcheng to look at, then leaned closer and whispered: "There is a lot of cash at home now. Should this money be deposited in the bank, or do you take it to Yangcheng to purchase goods?"
Gao Mingcheng looked down at the account book, then looked at the inventory list, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, we still have to go to Yangcheng to purchase a batch of goods. I will reserve the money for the purchase later, and the remaining It’s better to deposit it in the bank first.”
Duomei has no objection to this. She mostly listens to Gao Mingcheng's words for her family's financial arrangements.
At this time, a young voice sounded, and Gao Mingcheng thought about it and looked towards the door of the store.
"...The clothes in this store are so expensive, let's buy them from another store." A little girl about eighteen years old stood timidly at the door of the store. Her face was full of tangles, and she seemed to be attracted by the clothes in the store. They seem to be worried that the price is too expensive.
However, the man next to her said boldly: "Why is it expensive? It's not expensive at all. As long as it's what you like, just buy it. Xiu Xiu, you don't know how beautiful you are. You are like A budding flower, I was attracted to you the first time I saw you. You deserve to wear better clothes!"
This man's accent is a bit strange. What he speaks is not the local dialect, but has the flavor of a treasure island.
Seeing these two people, Gao Mingcheng immediately knew their identities.
This man came from Baodao to invest. In his previous life, he opened a milk candy factory on the Red Star Farm, and the business was quite good.
His father was from the Red Star Farm and was trapped on Treasure Island due to the current situation. Now that the two places are connected, his father was unable to return home because he was old and seriously ill, so he asked him to come back. One is to visit hometown, and the other is to invest in hometown.
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had met this person at several wine parties, but they had no friendship. His biggest impression of this person was because of the woman named Zhang Xiuxiu next to him.
In the previous life, I don’t know how Zhang Xiuxiu and Duo Mei met, and they became best friends for a time. It was also from Duo Mei’s mouth that Gao Mingcheng found out that Zhang Xiuxiu was the mistress of a wealthy businessman in Baodao.
When the wealthy businessman from Nabao Island came to invest, he told the outside world that he was not married yet. Later, he openly pursued the young and beautiful Zhang Xiuxiu. This was pursued by the young and promising wealthy businessman. Zhang Xiuxiu naturally fell into the trap. She once thought that she would marry her. When the other party wants to spend money on himself, he still tries to persuade the other party to save some money.
But just a few years after the good times, the wealthy businessman refused to marry her, and later left without saying goodbye.
Only then did Zhang Xiuxiu know that the wealthy businessman had a wife and children in Baodao, and it was impossible to marry her.
Later, when Zhang Xiuxiu reached middle age, she often lamented that she was too stupid when she was young. She only wanted men to treat her well, but not for his money.
Man, only the money in your pocket is real!
Seeing that Zhang Xiuxiu still refused to enter the store, Gao Mingcheng walked directly to the door of the store and helped the wealthy businessman and said: "A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. You are so beautiful, so you should wear beautiful clothes. Look at you The clothes my boyfriend is wearing are of exquisite quality and well-cut. When worn, they accentuate his majestic appearance and make him look extraordinary."
"But what about you? With your old-fashioned clothes, you are really wasting the good looks your parents gave you. How beautiful. Come and take her to pick out some suitable clothes. This young girl must dress up in time! "
Gao Mingcheng spoke very quickly and spoke in a familiar manner, and asked many beauties to take Zhang Xiuxiu to pick out clothes. Zhang Xiuxiu was still confused, so she was led by many beauties to pick out clothes.
Gao Mingcheng said to the wealthy businessman of Baodao: "Brother is from Baodao, right? I heard it as soon as I heard you speak."
This wealthy businessman from Treasure Island is not a middle-aged man with a big belly, but a young man with good features. He is only twenty-nine years old this year.
His name is Zhou Xudong. His father is from mainland China, but his mother is from Baodao. However, his father insisted on teaching him to speak the mainland dialect, so when he came here this time, there was not much language barrier.
At this time, he looked Gao Mingcheng up and down, then stretched out his hand to shake Gao Mingcheng's hand and said, "I am from Baodao, and I am returning to my hometown to invest this time."
What he said was particularly interesting. He also claimed to be from Baodao and returned to his hometown to invest.
But their arrival is also conducive to the economic development of the county to a certain extent. As for the milk candy factory he opened, once the milk candy factory opened, local sugar and milk powder factories will have a continuous flow of income. orders, and then there are many more jobs in Red Star Farm.
And with the increase in business, Red Star Ranch has also expanded and added some more jobs.
After people have jobs and more income, their consumption has also upgraded accordingly, and business in all walks of life has become easier.
For example, this mid-to-high-end clothing store opened by Gao Mingcheng.
When everyone's income is generally low, business will not be very good, but once everyone's income gradually increases, business will get better and better.
Because people are beginning to pursue a better quality of life, they naturally spend money lavishly.
Here Gao Mingcheng and Zhou Xudong struck up a conversation, and over there, Zhang Xiuxiu fell in love with two sets of clothes after many beautiful introductions. At this time, she was in a dilemma, not knowing which one to choose.
Many Mei suggested that she try them all.
Not long after, Zhang Xiuxiu came out of the fitting room after putting on new clothes. Her face was full of anxiety and her walking posture was a little stiff. If you look carefully, you can see that she is still walking smoothly.
She looked at everyone and asked timidly: "Does it look good?"
"Good-looking! So good-looking! This yellow skirt suits you very well. Look at the design of the belt, which highlights your extra slender waist! There are also pockets on the hem of the skirt, which are also suitable for storing small things. Isn't this very nice? Is it convenient?" Many beauties said a series of compliments without blinking, and brought a mirror over for Zhang Xiuxiu to look at herself in the mirror.
Then he said enthusiastically: "Your hair is a little messy. Come on, let me comb it for you."
"Shufang, bring me the tools for combing my hair."
Soon, Gao Shufang brought a box with a comb, rubber bands and hairpins inside.
Among the magazines that Gao Mingcheng brought back, some were devoted to hairstyles and clothing matching. Many of them were quite clever and had learned some skills in combing their hair, and were able to create several simple hairstyles.
She styled her hair in a simple high ponytail according to Zhang Xiuxiu's temperament and the dress on her body, which highlighted Zhang Xiuxiu's youthful beauty.
If the customer is a middle-aged woman, most of them will have their hair tied up, which will make them look dignified and capable.
"Good-looking! Xiuxiu, you are so beautiful." Zhou Xudong was also fascinated by the brand-new Zhang Xiuxiu. The young girl has beautiful appearance, tall and slender figure, which is completely different from his wife who already has children at home.
When he first came here, he was dissatisfied with the poverty and backwardness here, but after seeing Zhang Xiuxiu picking wild flowers on the hillside and weaving corollas, he suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to stay and invest here.
"This dress is good, I bought it!" Zhou Xudong said grandly.
Gao Mingcheng gave Duomei a wink, and Duomei immediately said: "Xiuxiu also likes this set, why not try it together?"
Zhang Xiuxiu opened her mouth to refuse, but the generous Zhou Xudong had already said: "Then give it a try."
So Zhang Xiuxiu could only try another set.
That outfit is not a skirt, but thin long-sleeved trousers more suitable for May.
This set was also purchased from Yangcheng. Whether it is the texture of the fabric or the tailoring, it looks better than those made by local tailors.
Zhang Xiuxiu herself looks good, even if she is wearing a linen bag, she is very beautiful, let alone wearing such a beautiful dress.
People and clothes add points to each other, and in Zhou Xudong's eyes, it feels particularly satisfying.
The money for these two sets of clothes was very expensive for Zhang Xiuxiu, but for Zhou Xudong, it was just drizzle.
Spending a small amount of money can move Zhang Xiuxiu, and Zhou Xudong is naturally happy.
At this time, he and Zhang Xiuxiu had just met and were still in the courting stage. This was the time when men were most willing to spend money on women.
Zhou Xudong not only bought two sets of clothes for Zhang Xiuxiu, but also bought himself a pair of light-colored clothes that looked more youthful. This way, he would be more suitable when walking with the young and beautiful Zhang Xiuxiu.
Watching them leave, Gao Mingcheng suddenly asked Duomei: "What do you think of that girl?"
"Xiuxiu? I think she is quite good and has a good personality. It is also because of her good personality that she was able to find such a good partner." Duo Mei said subconsciously.
However, Gao Mingcheng felt a little emotional about his fate.
In the previous life, Duo Mei and Zhang Xiuxiu became good friends. In this life, Duo Mei's life trajectory was slightly different, but she still met Zhang Xiuxiu, even earlier than in the previous life.
Do you want to tell Zhang Xiuxiu that Zhou Xudong is a scumbag?
But for Zhang Xiuxiu, who comes from an ordinary family, it is very difficult to give up a wealthy suitor like Zhou Xudong.
Forget it, let’s put down the need to help others!
As for the future, he will ask many beauties to remind Zhang Xiuxiu not to be so stupid. You can live without people, but you cannot live without money!
Not to mention the money for clothes all year round, at least Zhang Xiuxiu must buy an apartment in this county, otherwise Zhou Xudong will just walk away and leave. However, Zhang Xiuxiu's reputation has been ruined, and she is used to living a privileged life. She was also unwilling to marry an ordinary man, so that Zhang Xiuxiu became depressed when she reached middle age.
These thoughts only flashed through my mind.
Gao Mingcheng decided to go to Yangcheng to purchase goods in a few days. It seems that as the cross-strait blockade is lifted, more and more compatriots will come back to visit relatives and invest in building factories. This will be a qualitative leap for the county's economy.
So, high-end clothing, arrange it!
The summer classes for these two little kids were over, and they planned to send them to the countryside immediately to spend a few days relaxing on their own, but my son got sick!
The latest update will be late, and it should be a perfect attendance party.
