After Li Ye had arranged several things with Hao Jian, he stopped caring about the sesame candy business, and told Hao Jian not to come to school to find him if he had nothing important to do.
Hao Jian was obedient and didn't come for several days, but on the fifth day, he asked Jin Peng to send back the 26 Phoenix bicycle.
Jin Peng said: "That Hao Jian has some skills and is good at business. These days, he has sold more than 1600 jin of sesame candy, and it will be more in the future,
Yesterday we overturned a motorcade, so let's not use this Phoenix! Ono, it's not convenient for you to have a bicycle, and it's also a bit eye-catching. "
Li Ye nodded: "That's OK. You should pay attention. Safety first, making money second."
"Then I must know," Jin Peng thought for a while and said meaningfully, "Don't worry! I'm watching!"
Li Ye can hear Jin Peng's meaning, and this guy is supposed to have played the role of "supervisor". He has been watching Hao Jian closely, and is not afraid of making trouble with him.
Li Ye said: "You just need to know. You and Qiangzi make a lot of money anyway. At the end of the month, we will share the money."
Jin Peng smiled and left.
In a few days, he has earned more than 30 yuan, which is almost the same as the monthly salary of the big bricklayer of the construction company. It's strange that he is unhappy.
。。。。。
Time flies, and a dozen days pass in a flash. By the end of the month, the Latent written by Li Ye had reached the submission stage.
"Li Ye, shall we only submit to two publishing houses? Do you want to submit more? I'll copy the manuscript quickly, and I can copy another one tomorrow."
The little mute Wen Leyu helped Li Ye put the manuscript into the envelope, while he did not give up persuasion.
Li Ye smiled and said confidently, "It's enough to invest two dollars. You can trust me and guarantee that you can get the royalties."
Wen Leyu glanced sideways at Li Ye and said angrily, "Don't always pay money. I don't want your commission."
It turns out that when Li Ye asked Wen Leyu to "proofread", he said to give her "service fee". Wen Leyu didn't care at first, thinking it was a joke. But now Li Ye mentioned it again, and she felt it was inappropriate.
They are so familiar with each other. What are you doing with your money?
Li Ye did not compete with Wen Leyu any more, but sorted out two thick envelopes, went to the post office to pay the "overweight postage" and sent them to two publishers in the provincial capital and the island city.
He is very grateful for the relaxed requirements of the publishing houses in the 1980s. If he dares to play "one draft with multiple submissions" in later generations, he will wait for the editor to thoroughly blacken out!
A half hearted man, don't want to worship me.
As for the two publishing houses' adoption of Li Ye's manuscript at the same time, it is also impossible for anything uncontrollable to happen.
Because of the large number of words in this novel, Li Ye only sent the first quarter of it, and modestly noted at the back that "if you are interested in publishing, please send back your contact number, and the author will send the whole manuscript."
When you get the phone number, it's time to talk about terms.
。。。。。
After leaving the post office, Li Ye didn't go back to school immediately.
Today is the day we agreed to share the money with Hao Jian. He needs to go to Chenzhuang Township 30 miles away.
Hao Jian originally intended to bring the money to the county seat for distribution, but Li Ye had not yet been to the sesame candy processing site, so he decided to go and have a look.
Li Ye rode the 26 phoenix and walked slowly through the street facing the winter sunset. He saw the staff of the cinema beside the street painting the big poster of Love on Lushan Mountain on the poster board at the door.
Love on Lushan Mountain, a classic film that touched Li Ye's father's generation in his previous life, Bai Fumei, who returned from overseas, has a lifelong love complex with the local male leader, meeting all the aspirations of their generation's young minds.
Zhang Yu, the actress, also stole many innocent boys' hearts in her dreams.
Later generations, a big V commented that 80% of the great success of Love on Lushan Mountain was due to the woman's identity as a wealthy overseas returnee.
If you change Zhou Jun into a country girl, she will love the man again. No matter how complicated and touching her emotional experience is, she will not reach the sensational scale of the original play.
But Li Ye, looking at Zhang Yu's big round face on the poster, could not get into the feeling of "beauty of the times",
On the contrary, Wen Leyu, tall, thin and silent, appeared in his dreams once or twice.
Li Ye laughed at himself and said, "Alas, my advanced aesthetic view makes me so different."
Chenzhuang Township is thirty miles away from Qingshui County. After Li Ye and Jin Peng met, it took an hour to get there after dark.
When Li Ye arrived, he found that Hao Jian's home was alone on an earth slope, at least two miles from the village.
Jin Peng introduced Li Ye: "Hao Jian is an outsider. He was ostracized by the locals because he married a beautiful girl from his village,
So when he was building a house, he was run away from the village, which provided some convenience for our sesame sugar processing. "
Li Ye looked around and said, "If there is convenience, there are drawbacks. It's too desolate. How about security?"
Jin Peng said, "It's OK for the time being. Hao Jian's brother and wife came to help boil sugar a few days ago. In addition, Qiangzi has lived here all the time and raised several dogs. If you feel uneasy, I might as well live here."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Look first. If you can't do it in a few days, you can come here and pay more for your hard work."
Jin Peng smiled but didn't refuse. He is a smart man and knows what to do and how much to take.
Li Ye and Jin Peng entered the yard and saw Hao Jian and Wang Qiangqiang, as well as a skinny young man in his twenties, loading a car.
At the moment, there is not much hygiene in the food. The dried sesame candy is directly put into the cleaned fertilizer bags, and the bags are stacked on the floor car.
Li Ye counted them, and they looked like eight or nine hundred jin.
Hao Jian saw Li Ye and Jin Peng coming into the house and said to the skinny young man, "Er Zhu, go out for a walk with your dog. Cui Er, her mother, go to the sales department and buy two packs of cigarettes."
The skinny young man untied the ropes of two mud dogs and took them out to have fun, while a beautiful woman led a little girl out of the door.
The little girl looked back at Li Ye as she walked. She was thin and timid.
Li Ye asked Hao Jian, "How is your daughter's illness?"
Hao Jian said, "Fortunately, I haven't committed another crime these days. When I save more money, I'll take her to a big hospital in a big city."
Hao Jian led Li Ye into the house, while Jin Peng and Wang Qiangqiang consciously guarded the gate, which was like a secret spy meeting.
Hao Jian opened a hole in the adobe bed in the house, dragged out a package, and said, "I don't think I can divide the money every month. There is too much money. These days I can't sleep soundly when I lie on the adobe bed."
"Too much money?" Li Ye said with a smile, "When you cheated me for the first time, did you ever think there would be a day when you didn't have enough money?"
Hao Jian also shook his head and smiled. At the beginning, he sold sugar at the gate of No. 1 Middle School. He really wanted to treat Li Ye as a big enemy. Who would have thought that just a few days ago, everyone became a gang.
"Poof poof"
Hao Jian patted the dust on the bundle and opened it layer by layer, revealing stacks of money inside.
"I have divided all the money in advance according to your instructions. Your one is 1396 yuan and fifty two cents. I bought five pairs of shoes according to the list you gave me and spent 87 yuan and three cents
I gave you an integer of 1320... This one is 950... Jin Peng... "
Although Li Ye was once a person who had seen "hundreds of thousands of people", he is still a little enthusiastic when looking at his own bank notes.
There are not many ten yuan or five yuan notes among the thousand yuan, most of them are two yuan or one yuan notes, which are a lot of money.
This is the result of Hao Jian giving Li Ye as much money as possible, and the other few were only gross.
Li Ye put the money into his satchel, called Jin Peng in, and gave him nearly two hundred yuan for escort.
Jin Peng had expected earlier and took it calmly, but when he gave Wang Jianqiang a share of the money, this simple guy dared not take it.
"Brother, there are too many, too many... I don't want to... I just have enough... I can eat enough these days..."
Li Ye thought about Wang Qiang's family, so he put away the money and said to Wang Qiang, "I can take it for you first, but you should remember the amount. This time you deserve 89 yuan. I will give you 9 yuan first, and I will keep 80 yuan here. Remember?"
"Mm-hmm. I remember my brother."
Wang Qiangqiang happily took the nine yuan, and his mouth was almost at the end of his ear.
When all the money was shared, Li Ye and Hao Jian agreed to share it once every half month, or once every ten days if the amount was too large.
But just as Li Ye was about to leave, Hao Jian handed Li Ye a bag of things and said, "These are the shoes you asked me to buy for you from the provincial capital,
A few days ago, the village cadres asked me what I was busy with these days. I covered it up, but I still asked if you could move the relationship and get a procedure. "
Li Ye stared at him and asked, "What's the relationship? What's the procedure?"
Hao Jian felt guilty, but he still said, "I heard Jin Peng say that your grandfather was in the grain system the other day. He used to work in the grain system as a food processing rural cooperative......"
Li Ye coldly glanced at Hao Jian, pushed the cart and walked away with Jin Peng.
On the way, Li Ye asked Jin Peng, "You leaked my grandpa's identity to Hao Jian?"
Jin Peng smiled and said, "Do you think I accidentally leaked the bottom?"
Li Ye asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you told the old man on purpose?"
Jin Peng said, "Ono, we have been buying rice and glutinous rice these days. Do you think the old man has not heard the news? He is a detective."
“..........”
Li Ye was stunned and understood.
It turned out that when I felt that I had no choice but to devise a strategy, my family had already told him.
