I am farming in the real world.

Chapter 37 Things change and people change
Shannan Primary School is located at the exit of Huangcun Village. It is named because its geographical location is at the southern foot of the nearby mountains.

At that time, the children from several villages in the nearby mountains would go to school together in the early morning, carrying their small schoolbags and wearing red scarves.

Whenever I pass by this Huangcun Zhonglao noodle restaurant or the breakfast stall next to it, I will spend 50 cents or one dollar for a simple meal.

At that time, prices were low, studies were easy, and the rural environment was free and relaxed. People could have fun all over the mountains and fields, and there were laughter and joy wherever they went.

The girl in front of him, Huang Ruoming, was a friend of Huang Cunzhong and also Chen Jue’s deskmate at Shannan Primary School for 6 years.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the two of them as "childhood sweethearts."

However, after entering junior high school, Chen Jue followed his parents to study in Rui County, and never met or contacted Huang Ruoming again.

After all, in the face of the huge road of life, the concept of time will become very vague and vague. No one can expect that the former desk mate will meet again when he is nearly 30 years old.

"Are you Chen Jue? It's been almost seventeen or eighteen years since we last met." Huang Ruoming's voice was very soft, just like her quiet personality in elementary school.

"Yes! Long time no see, Huang Ruoming." When he met his old friend Chen Jue, he also fell into a wave of memories.

Seeing the two of them reunited and reminiscing about the past, the old lady who was cooking noodles also sighed: "You are Chen Yan's grandson! I remember when you were a child, you often came to eat snacks with Ruoming. At that time, you and your group of children gathered together, which was the most lively. In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up."

After these words were spoken, Chen Jue also looked sideways.

In the old lady, he saw the figure of the middle-aged aunt who had just opened a noodle shop in the past.

Almost 20 years have passed, and the noodle shop and the people in my childhood memories are no longer there. What remains is the taste of noodle soup and ordinary people like the old lady.

As I was thinking and sighing, the old lady who had already brought a bowl of cooked vermicelli to the table joked: "You two kids are so old now, but you haven't fallen in love or got married yet, right?"

"Do you want to get acquainted again?"

Huang Ruoming probably had some kind of relationship with this old lady from the same village. Her face turned slightly red as she protested softly, "Auntie! Stop joking!"

After protesting, she took off her black-framed glasses in a somewhat embarrassed manner, removed the hair tie on her wrist and simply tied up her messy hair. Then, she carefully looked at Chen Jue with a pair of equally dazed eyes, and finally asked softly, "Chen Jue, what are you doing now? Are you back to visit your family? Or are you planning to go out to work?"

Chen Jue looked at his childhood playmate and answered truthfully without boasting or hiding anything, "I have been living in Chen Village and doing some small business for the time being."

When Huang Ruoming heard about his recent situation, she looked thoughtful.

Because here in Vancouver, whether it is urban or rural people, they all like to talk about doing business as a polite word.

When you visit relatives and friends, if they ask you what you are doing at the dinner table, saying "business" will work like a panacea.

"Doing business is good! You have freedom and you can make money! I've been unemployed for almost half a year. I haven't been able to find a job after submitting my resume, and my family is urging me to death." Huang Ruoming began to sip noodles and continued. She did not have the reservedness that a girl should have in front of Chen Jue.

Chen Jue was a little surprised when he heard her complain about her job search being unsuccessful, and that she was 29 years old like him but still unmarried.

Because the girls in Rui County will quickly enter the marriage market after graduating from college under the influence of the surrounding environment.

Frequent blind dates and friendships in the hope of marrying a well-matched husband who owns a house in the city have become the mainstream norm for rural girls to achieve rapid class transition.

As long as they are not too outrageous in appearance or as heavy as a tank, most of them get married with children at around 25 years old.

There are very few people like Huang Ruoming, who has good looks but has ended up being a 29-year-old leftover rural woman.

"It's really hard to find a good job nowadays." Chen Jue forced an awkward smile.

Somehow, in front of Huang Ruoming, Chen Jue felt like he was poisoned by the zombies in MC, and his whole body was stiff.

Moreover, he found that Huang Ruoming's current situation of lying down in the countryside was very similar to his previous situation.

One failed in his business and went bankrupt, returning to the village and lying dead. Another had no chance of finding a job and stayed at home in the village, sleeping day and night.

Because it's already past 10 o'clock, and no normal rural person would come out to eat breakfast at this time.

In this awkward atmosphere of reminiscing about the past, a white van stopped in front of the noodle shop.

Tieyi rolled down the window of the cab and shouted, "Boss! All the goods have been delivered."

Seeing this, Chen Jue felt like he had met a savior. He hurriedly picked up his backpack, said "see you next time" to Huang Ruoming, and hurriedly got into the car.

Facing his elementary school deskmate who knew a lot about his childhood dark history, Chen Jue felt very uncomfortable due to the awkward and complicated emotions, so he decided to run away as soon as possible.

Huang Ruoming found it somewhat funny to see him running away in such a miserable state, as if he was recalling some funny thing from his childhood.

But in the end, the pretty girl's eyes dimmed a little, staring at the bowl of noodles and muttering softly: "I haven't added WeChat yet."

……

The white truck drove along the village road all the way to the county town. Chen Jue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt a sense of emotion.

He felt that he had lost a lot of precious things unknowingly while growing up out of the countryside.

The joy of childhood, childhood friends, and the fun of exploring nature are all swallowed up by the financial pressure that we face all the time in adulthood.

"Forget it. There's no point in reminiscing about the past."

"Make money and get ashore first!"

Chen Juexin sighed and took a detour to the Caidie Advertising Store to load 2,500 bayberry gift boxes into the truck.

Use the one-click quick filling function to import all the ripened MC bayberries into the gift box.

After that, I went to the Sweetheart Fruit Wholesale Shop and completed the last bayberry delivery with Fatty Luo Xian.

"Brother Luo, the garden in Xianju has been closed. This is the last batch of king fruits."

"If you want to work on this 13A Dongkui again, you have to wait until next summer." While watching Tieyi and several market loader and unloader workers unloading goods, Chen Jue pulled Luo Xian aside and started to talk brotherly.

"Haha! No problem. I've made a lot of money lately thanks to these fruit kings from you, brother."

"I'll find a better restaurant later. I'll thank Brother Chen anyway." As he said this, Luo Xian showed a big gold ring he had just added to his left thumb with a beaming face.

"Thanks to Brother Luo for his care!"

"I should be the one who treats you to a meal and thanks you." Chen Jue joined the other party in bragging.

It took three rounds to unload the 24.3 boxes, and a total of in cash was earned from the transaction, filling Chen Jue's backpack to the brim.

Including the more than 4 yuan he earned from selling vegetables in the early morning, he now has accumulated nearly 30 yuan in liquid funds.

With this money, Chen Jue began to be able to do more things.

After delivering the goods at Rui County Farmer’s Market, Chen Jue took Tie and rushed straight to the Ximen Car Dealership where he had bought the car before.

When I met Mr. Wang from the car dealership again, he was very enthusiastic when he heard that Chen Jue, an old customer, brought his acquaintances to see the car.

Under the scorching sun, he took the two people to walk around the parking lot and finally bought a brand new red Dongfeng medium-duty truck that had only run less than 17.8 kilometers for 100 yuan.

The 9.8-meter-long carriage, with a yellow license plate, can carry more than tons of vegetables at a time, and the transportation capacity has increased dramatically. Second-hand car dealers like Boss Wang are also dealing with brand-new trucks like this one, and there are several of them in the parking lot.

There are also more expensive, more powerful trucks.

But considering that it would only be used to transport vegetables and chicken, Chen Jue chose the cheaper medium-sized truck.

Of course, the reason why he bought another truck was that after contracting the output of Wencheng's vegetable farmers, a 4-meter light truck alone could no longer meet his cargo transportation needs.

Wait until you have chosen a car, negotiated a price, paid the money and started the formalities.

Boss Wang from the car dealership saw that the acquaintance brought by Chen Jue was a little silly, so he deliberately pushed him aside and whispered, "Brother, after the transfer and insurance are completed, I will give you a red envelope. This is the rule in the industry, you must accept it!"

Chen Jue nodded while holding back his smile, thinking, "Is it okay for me to take my own rebate?"

……

As it was almost noon, I came here to buy a car.

By the time we finished all the formalities, it was already past 2pm.

After Chen Jue received the 5,000 yuan referral red envelope from Boss Wang, he and Tie Yi each drove a car straight to the Wanqiang Logistics Park warehouse.

1.5 kilograms of Shanghai green had been delivered in the morning, and the two warehouses looked empty.

Tie Laoliu was cleaning up with a broom, and when he saw Chen Jue coming over, he immediately came up to him and said, "Hello, boss!"

"You don't stutter."

"As expected of you, the Sixth Brother! You can be of great use!" Chen Jue patted the other's shoulder with satisfaction.

I looked around the warehouse and didn't find anything wrong.

At around 3 o'clock, the people from the financial company I contacted yesterday delivered several business licenses and engraved official seals to my door.

"Mr. Chen, the certificates and formalities you requested have been completed. They are all listed with the addresses of these two warehouses."

"If you need to handle accounting and tax filings in the future, you can entrust it to our company. You can get a package discount when you just get your license." The young girl from the financial company promoted.

"I will contact you if I need you." Chen Jue smiled slightly.

He had run a factory before and was familiar with all the tax filing issues.

It can be done in minutes by clicking the mouse on the Internet, but it costs several thousand yuan a year to hand it over to a financial company, which is a waste of money.

So after paying the remaining balance for the certificate, Chen Jue let the girl from the financial company go back.

Then he opened a few file bags and took a look at the license letters of the four newly registered companies: Chenji Catering Co., Ltd., Tiehan Logistics Co., Ltd., Cube Technology Co., Ltd., and Cube Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.

The legal persons under him are all Tieyi, but what Chen Jue cares about most is the business scope covered by the four corporate licenses.

From catering services, food circulation, food production, food sales, food processing, logistics and transportation, to civil engineering, mechanical processing technology, as well as crop planting, animal husbandry, aquaculture, agricultural product processing, agricultural tourism development, etc.

It almost covers all the ways to make money that Chen Jue can think of at present by cooperating with the MC system.

As for business scopes that you haven’t thought of yet, you can just spend money to add them to the license later.

"With these business licenses, I can finally run my business with confidence!" Chen Jue grinned.

Before, they did business here and there, just like guerrilla warfare and underground intelligence work, all in secret.

After all, it was an unlicensed business, and Chen Jue was afraid of being investigated.

However, after obtaining the certificate, he felt much more confident and could run the two businesses on hand openly.

……

After receiving the license, Chen Jue asked Tie Laoliu to stay and continue to look after the warehouse.

He took his car and rushed to Binjiang Road to look at the shops on the ground floor.

Having tasted the sweetness of selling roast chicken at a stall nearby these past few days, Chen Jue plans to locate the first Chenji store near this high-end residential area.

This will also make it easier to conduct targeted marketing to old customers who have joined the fan group in the future.

However, it is not easy to look for shops and find a suitable store. After looking around for an entire afternoon and asking several real estate agents about commercial properties, Chen Jue still couldn't find one he liked.

Either the rent is too high or the store location is too remote.

Most of the shops in prime locations like Binjiang Road have been bought out.

If Chen Jue wants to choose a better location, unless he is willing to pay the transfer fee, he can only open the store in a corner.

“It’s such a hassle to find a suitable store!”

"No wonder there are so many people online who charge to watch shop live broadcasts. I'll find time to come and take a look tomorrow." Chen Jue said to himself.

……

Since he couldn't find the store he liked, Chen Jue wandered around Binjiang Road until the evening.

It wasn't until dark that we found a fast food restaurant and had a bite to eat.

Zhao Xiaoguang brought two classmates to join him, and Chen Jue asked Tie Yi to unload the stall cart from the truck and started tonight's stall tasting event.

First, I gave the two teenagers who also graduated from high school a simple interview.

Both of these young men were wearing glasses and looked very gentle. They were dressed rather simply.

After asking, I found out that he, like Zhao Xiaoguang, came from the same village in Louqiao, and planned to follow Zhao Xiaoguang's work-study program.

After asking a few questions and chatting briefly, I was sure that the two teenagers were both quite smart. After all, they had just finished the college entrance examination and their IQ and learning ability were at their peak.

It’s just that he’s not as eloquent as Zhao Xiaoguang, and he behaves rather shyly when meeting strangers.

Chen Jue didn't have any big objections. Most of the students who came out to work part-time for the first time did the same. Let Zhao Xiaoguang show them how to promote the products. As long as they adapt for a few days, they will be able to get into the role quickly.

However, when Chen Jue took a few students to set up a stall and sell MC roast chicken to the owners of high-end residential areas passing by.

A middle-aged owner who was dressed casually and wearing a watch, looking somewhat noble, came over with a smile under the guidance of Zhao Xiaoguang and others. "Excuse me, young man. Are you the owner of Chen's Secret Roast Chicken?"

"My name is Lin Youlong, and I'm the chairman of Chaofan Catering Group. I think your Chenji's secret roast chicken is delicious! It has great market prospects! Do you want to go to the coffee shop next door and sit down and chat? I'll treat you."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a black metal business card and handed it over.
