Chapter 69: The Lonely Old Man (Asking for Votes)
Half an hour later, the man returned to the office and said with a smile: "Do you have any special ingredients in these peanuts? Even the delicate taste of our general manager has been conquered." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yang and the fourth uncle both laughed.
Xiao Qian in his arms also smiled, and the mountain standing on the side wagged his tail.
The man continued: "That's it, we want all the peanuts you have left over today, and tomorrow you will pull another five hundred catties, and if they sell well, we will increase the amount." ”
Today's all? Tomorrow's order is 500 catties? The fourth uncle is confused! Is this selling peanuts or selling his daughter? Why is it so sought-after? All of a sudden, 500 catties? This is too awesome!
Chen Yang sat on the sofa with a calm face, hugged Xiao Qian, and said with a smile: "No problem, before nine o'clock tomorrow, I will definitely help you send peanuts." ”
After drinking two cups of tea, the fourth uncle went with the people found by the manager to remove all the peanuts on the carriage, and after passing the scales, he settled the payment at one time.
Looking at the carriage with only sundries such as floor-to-ceiling electronic scales and basket snakeskin bags, Chen Yang sighed in his heart.
Who would have thought that it only took him a few days to change from a hawker who only sold dozens of catties of peanuts a day to a 'big peddler' who could sell more than 1,000 catties of peanuts a day.
If it weren't for the facts, maybe even he wouldn't have believed it.
Therefore, people still have to work hard, because only when you work hard, can you know how terrible your potential is.
After buying some things, the fourth uncle drove me on the way home.
The fourth uncle was very happy, and said with a silly smile: "Xiaoyang, under today's circumstances, will you be able to build a house soon?"
Chen Yang nodded, said with dry lips: "It should be, but although we sold more than 1,600 catties of peanuts today, we bought these peanuts, and it cost thousands of yuan just to buy these peanuts." ”
"That's right. The fourth uncle stopped smiling, and asked with a serious face, "Then after deducting the money from the purchase of peanuts, how much money did we make today?"
"I'll do the math. Chen Yang took out his mobile phone and calculated, and returned, "The purchase price of 1,500 catties of peanuts is about 4,500 yuan, and the peanuts we sold today are about 8,000 yuan." If you subtract four thousand five from eight thousand, there are four thousand five hundred dollars left. ”
"Huh?" the fourth uncle was confused, "How can there be four thousand five left after eight thousand minus four thousand five? shouldn't it be three thousand five?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Chen Yang hurriedly crossed out the four thousand five on the small notebook and changed it to three thousand five, "We earned three thousand five hundred yuan today." ”
"Here you go, Fourth Uncle. Chen Yang took out five hundred yuan, crossed the fourth uncle's shoulder from behind, and handed it to the fourth uncle, "This is your salary." ”
The fourth uncle took the banknotes, and when he saw that there were five of them, he was startled: "Xiaoyang, you gave too much." ”
"Not much. Chen Yang smiled, "I earned three thousand five today, and I only gave you five hundred, where is the more?"
The fourth uncle hurriedly said: "It's really a lot." ”
He took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Chen Yang with his backhand: "You can give me three hundred, and you can take the two hundred back." ”
"Not much. Chen Yang said persistently, "In the future, when you are fully ripe for the peanut production process, as well as the delivery process and the skills of selling peanuts, I will leave all the things of making peanuts and selling peanuts to you, and the money earned, half of the money we earn." ”
The fourth uncle didn't listen to this, and his hand was still hanging on his shoulder.
He said: "Xiaoyang, I help you do things, that's because you are Xiaoyang, my nephew, and we are a family." These are all things I should do, you don't have to give me so much money. You have to take care of Xiaoqian, and you have to save money to build a house, I will be alone, I have no children, and I don't need to build a house, I can't use so much money. Moreover, I am in my forties, at most I will live for another forty years, and it is useless for me to save so much money, you take this money back and save it well, and then start a house and ask for a wife. If you don't obey, I won't help you tomorrow morning. ”
The fourth uncle felt that it didn't take much effort to soak peanuts, that is, just pour the peanuts into a large iron pot, pour water, and add spices.
Boiling peanuts is even less strenuous, just light the firewood and push it occasionally.
Although it takes some time to fish peanuts and pack peanuts, it doesn't take much effort.
It's easier to sell peanuts, it's just a little hot from the sun.
In the past, he went to help others with coolies, and all day long, he was tired and tired for only a hundred yuan.
But now Xiaoyang actually gave him 500 yuan a day.
This was something he couldn't have imagined before.
He felt that he could take as much money as he did for the work, and he couldn't take advantage of Xiaoyang just because he was Xiaoyang's fourth uncle.
Moreover, Xiaoyang is alone with a few months old Xiaoqian, and it is really not easy to take care of the children and earn money to support the family.
Therefore, he can't take more money.
Chen Yang knew that the fourth uncle was the kind of honest and tough old cow, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Then what can I do? I have to give you five hundred, but you have to only charge three hundred, if we both persist, there will be no result in this matter." ”
The fourth uncle nodded subconsciously.
"So be it. Chen Yang said, "Let's take a step back, these two hundred yuan, I'll take one, you take one, and then no one should be obsessed, what about you, concentrate on driving, and I'll concentrate on feeding Xiaoqian." ”
He moved Xiaoqian out, and the fourth uncle could only agree.
But after taking back the 100 yuan, and putting it together with the remaining 300, it will become 400? Why do you feel as if you still take advantage of Xiaoyang?
Alas, the brain is too stupid, that's it.
While feeding Xiaoqian, Chen Yang sent a message to the aunts in the WeChat group: Continue to harvest peanuts today, and the harvest will start at five o'clock.
As soon as the news came out, several aunts replied in seconds: Received!
I went home and slept and harvested peanuts as usual at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Today, many old people in the village have come to sell peanuts.
However, because most of them are old, they only have thirty or forty pounds per person. However, this pound of peanuts can be sold for three yuan, and thirty or forty pounds can be sold for hundreds of yuan.
Several old men looked shocked when they held the red banknotes given by Chen Yang in their hands.
Especially Mrs. Xiao, who lives alone, her eyes were moist when she held the red hundred-yuan bill tightly in her hand.
She was not short of money, nor was she in a hurry to spend money, but she never expected that she could earn a hundred yuan in one day at this age.
She's almost 90 years old.
At the age of ninety, people in the city may be able to receive a high pension and enjoy the care of their children. But Mrs. Xiao is not from the city.
She was born and raised in Baishi Village, and since she was born, she has still left the village only a handful of times.
She has three sons and two daughters. All three sons have married daughters-in-law, and now they all have grandchildren. And her two daughters have long since married to other villages, and it is extremely difficult to visit her once a year.
She is lonely in an old mud brick and black tile house, and can only be with the land all year round.
The occasional wild cat running down from the mountains can make her happy for a while.
The wild cat is not her son, nor is it her daughter, she rarely even sees her own son and daughter, so how can the wild cat accompany her for a long time.
When he had almost stolen the bacon she had hung on the stove, the wild cat shook his belly and ran back into the mountains.
Despite this, Mrs. Xiao still smokes bacon every year.
Perhaps, she is really lonely.
