Chapter 25: Can You Count? (Seeking Votes~~)

This person who had been waiting for Li Ye for a long time was the malt candy vendor Li Ye met at the gate of County No. 1 Middle School when he took back the Phoenix bicycle.

Seeing Li Ye, he hurriedly leaned over with a smile.

"Brother, eat candy, eat candy......"

"I don't eat candy."

Li Ye didn't stop his steps and continued to walk forward, but the vendor blocked him and took out a pack of Big Harvest cigarettes.

"Brother, smoke......"

"No need, I have some. Do you have something to do with me?"

Li Ye blocked the Big Harvest cigarettes handed over, took out a Big Qianmen cigarette himself, lit it, then looked up at the sky at thirty-five degrees, his eyes squinting, looking coldly at this guy who was shivering with cold.

This wasn't Li Ye deliberately putting on airs!

The Li Ye of the previous life was also a "warm-hearted person," kind to others when he first entered the workplace, helpful, smiling when he saw people, and working when he saw work.

As a result, he didn't get any good in the end, and everyone wanted to suppress him and use him.

So Li Ye later figured it out: when dealing with certain people, you can't be too kind, and you can't give them a good face.

Through the contact at the gate of County No. 1 Middle School last time, Li Ye knew that this guy was a cunning merchant with the unique cunning and small cleverness of this era.

Today he was showing courtesy for no reason, obviously having something to ask for. If Li Ye were very easy to talk to, he would definitely treat Li Ye as a "child," which would be very unfavorable for Li Ye's next plan.

The aura of a king also needs conditions, okay? A three-year-old child talking eloquently to a fierce general Li Kezhang Fei, would people bow down?

It's more like letting you lie in the ditch for a while with a hammer.

If you want a middle-aged man in his thirties to follow the arrangements of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old student, you must play some tricks.

"Hehe, there is indeed something that needs your help, brother."

"Ask me for help? What help can a student like me give you? I don't plan to buy malt candy today."

"You can't help...... but your relative at the North City Police Station can help......."

Li Ye rolled his eyes and said: "How do you know I have a relative at the North City Police Station? Besides, I don't even know your name, why should I help you?"

"I...... this is because there is no other way......."

The malt candy vendor had a bitter face and complained to Li Ye in a rambling way.

It turned out his name was Hao Jian. After going to the countryside in Qingshui County, he married a local and settled in Chenzhuang Township, thirty miles away. Now the wind is getting warmer, and he has been selling malt candy in the county for more than half a year, and it has been quite smooth.

As a result, he met a group of street hooligans today, who ate and took things without paying. Hao Jian, who was always peaceful and made money, pulled with the other party and finally fought, which attracted the police.

The police station did educate the group of street hooligans, but Hao Jian had a full mouth of foreign accent, so the police station detained his malt candy and pottery basin, and asked him to go back to the village to write an introduction letter to prove that he was not a wandering criminal.

Hao Jian came out secretly to sell malt candy. Where could he write an introduction letter?

The newspaper admitted "individual economy," but the county didn't have an accurate instruction yet! Would those old stubborn people in the village write him a letter?

Thinking about it, Hao Jian remembered that he heard Lu Zixue shouting "the police station director is Li Ye's relative" at the gate of County No. 1 Middle School, so he had to cover his head and come to try to see if he could help.

"Student Li, I really have no other way. There is a seventy-year-old mother above and a four- or five-year-old child who is sick below. It all depends on that little malt candy to subsidize,"

"I originally sold candy today and wanted to get medicine for the child, but this time it was all lost......."

Hao Jian said pitifully, with snot and tears, and Li Ye couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

He threw the cigarette on the ground and said: "How do you want me to help you?"

Hao Jian immediately said: "You just say I am the uncle of your classmate and good friend......."

Li Ye asked with a smile: "And then?"

Hao Jian blinked: "What? What then?"

Li Ye said coldly: "I said you are my classmate's uncle, and then you can use my banner to pull the tiger skin as a big flag, and you don't have to be afraid of those street hooligans, right?"

"........."

Hao Jian was a bit confused, smacked his mouth, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

【Sure enough, it's a dog second generation, not a good thing.】

After a long time, Hao Jian said awkwardly: "I didn't think so...... help me, you can eat my malt candy for free in the future."

"Who cares about your malt candy," Li Ye curled his lips, threw a White Rabbit candy into his mouth, and asked: "Show me the prescription for your child's medicine."

Hao Jian hurriedly took out two empty medicine bottles from his pocket, and a prescription that was almost crumpled and handed it to Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at it, didn't understand what medicine and prescription this was for, but it could at least prove the authenticity of what Hao Jian said.

"Let's go, go and see with you."

Li Ye returned the medicine bottles and prescription to Hao Jian and turned to walk to the North City Police Station.

Hao Jian, who had already given up hope, was stunned and hurriedly ran to follow.

When the two arrived at the North City Police Station, Li Ye's uncle-in-law Zhao Yuanchao was not there, and Hao Jian, who was following behind, felt cold again.

Malt candy...... is not edible.

But Li Ye gave his pack of Da Qianmen cigarettes to Hao Jian, and then went to an office in the blink of an eye, and came out with a young man with his arms around his shoulders.

Li Ye pointed at Hao Jian and said: "Look, it's him, a relative of a good classmate of mine. Chenzhuang Township is thirty miles away from here. See what procedures should be followed?"

The young man smiled and said: "Fart procedures, just the relationship between our brothers, you are mocking me!"

Two minutes later, Hao Jian got his pottery basin and malt candy, and the malt candy didn't lose even a tael.

Hao Jian hurriedly took out the Da Qianmen cigarettes Li Ye gave him to light for Wu Xiong, and naturally stuffed the cigarette box into Wu Xiong's pocket. The movements were skillful and natural. It was clear that he was a businessman worth cultivating.

The young man said to Hao Jian: "Remember my name is Wu Xiong. If Liu Er and those people find trouble with you again in the future, just come directly to me. It's against them."

Hao Jian nodded repeatedly and had a new understanding of Li Ye's ability.

Today he went to find Li Ye, actually treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

After the two came out of the police station, Hao Jian asked what the relationship between Li Ye and Wu Xiong was. Li Ye said lightly: "Brothers who practice boxing together."

Hao Jian looked at Li Ye with even more different eyes.

【Looking at this kid's long hands and feet, I guess he hits quite hard.......】

"Brother, you take this candy to eat. I will return the money for that box of Da Qianmen in a few days."

Hao Jian took out a newspaper and wrapped a large bag of candy for Li Ye, which accounted for about a quarter of his basin of malt candy.

Li Ye waved his hand, looked at him and asked: "Have you been to the provincial capital?"

Hao Jian didn't understand and nodded: "I've been there a few times. I have two educated youth friends who went back to the city and asked me to visit them."

Li Ye said unquestioningly: "You take this candy and run to the provincial capital to see the sales of this malt candy. If it is feasible, I will take a share in your business."

"........."

Hao Jian's smiling face stiffened, and after a few seconds, he began to curse in his heart.

【Ctm, I knew this kid wasn't good. I gave him free food, and he actually wanted to take a share of my benefits for a long time? Even the landlord didn't have such a ruthless one?】

"Taking a share" means getting benefits in a business. Hao Jian originally wanted to find Li Ye frequently in the future, provide him with candy, and maintain the relationship.

As a result, Li Ye directly wanted to "take a share." This is to peel a layer of skin!

"My small business...... it's eighty miles to the provincial capital....... it's not worth it....... sigh....."

Hao Jian squeezed a smiling face and wanted to refuse Li Ye, but suddenly his eyes blurred, and a five-yuan "big ticket" appeared.

Li Ye handed the five yuan to Hao Jian and said: "You go to the provincial capital to investigate carefully, focus on finding some people like you....... what's the point of retail, you have to do wholesale......."

Hao Jian touched the five yuan in his hand and felt a bit unreal.

In this era, the largest banknote is ten yuan. He sells malt candy in cents and mao, and he may not see a five-yuan "big ticket" in a month.

You know, giving birth to a child in the county hospital now, the medical expenses add up to only eight or nine yuan.

But now a "child" shook his hand and gave Hao Jian five yuan, just to let him "take a trip to the provincial capital?"

【Does he not know that the train ticket from the county to the provincial capital is only a few mao?】

【Is he not afraid that I will take the money and not do things?】

Hao Jian pondered for a while and finally determined that although the young man in front of him was young, he was really not afraid of him blacking out this five yuan.

After thinking clearly, Hao Jian's head became flexible. He put away the five yuan and asked: "Brother, what do you mean by...... wholesale?"

Li Ye asked: "How much is the cost of your malt candy per catty?"

Hao Jian said: "Three mao! If you can buy flat-price grain, it can be lower."

Li Ye said: "Then how about you sell it for six mao?"

Hao Jian was stunned for a moment. Usually, he sells it for one yuan a catty, and he has sold it for two yuan when he meets a fool. How can he sell it for six mao?

Li Ye glanced at Hao Jian and curled his lips, saying: "Can you count? Is there any problem with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?"

Hao Jian rolled his eyes.

【What are you talking about? I was at least a junior high school graduate before going to the countryside, okay?】 ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
