Chapter II Subsidies for Households
Saturday.
Since the pillars of the house fell, the burden of the body fell on the left mother. Zuo's mother works three jobs a day, and Zuo Fei takes the initiative to take on a job for his mother in order to make his mother easier.
Go to the market and sell fruits.
Buy at a low price from a wholesale fruit station and sell it at the right price to earn the difference.
It was a holiday, so my younger siblings also came to help me.
Zuo Fei walked in front, Zuo Lin and Zuo Xin followed, and a white-haired dog followed closely beside the three.
This white-haired dog belongs to Zuo Fei's family, and Zuo's father gave the white-haired dog a more authentic name, dried cabbage.
Over the years, the family has not raised it in vain.
Zuo Fei remembered that his father fell to the ground alone at home, but fortunately, the dried cabbage found Zuo Fei in time, which did not lead to the tragedy.
However, the fate of dried cabbage is still unlucky.
One night a few years later, two thieves tried to sneak into the house to steal something, and at this time, the only thing in the house was Zuo's father, who had crippled legs, and dried cabbage, who was dressed in white hair.
In order to drive away the two thieves, Cabbage did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life.
Although the two thieves were finally driven away, the cabbage was scarred and stabbed several times by the thieves.
Zuo Fei will never forget that night, when he returned home to see the dried cabbage for the last time.
It was those experiences at the beginning that made Zuo Fei take good care of dried cabbage now.
It takes some distance to get from home to the market in town.
An hour later, Zuo Fei came to the wholesale fruit market.
An employee saw that the person who came was a child, thinking that he had come to ask for fruit to eat, and his face suddenly became a little disgusted, and the first sentence was to use this driving tone.
"Walk around, there's no free fruit here!"
Zuo Fei shook his head, although he was dissatisfied with the attitude of the employee in front of him, but now he had to ask for it, so he had to endure it.
Zuo Fei pretended to be smiling and said to the man in front of him.
"Uncle, I'm Fang Lian's son, and my mother has something to do today, so let me come over to get the goods. ”
"How do I know if what you say is true or false. But since you're here to pick up the goods, that's okay, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say. Said the employee with a cap.
Zuo Fei's body is also the mind of a nearly forty-year-old man, and he can see the thoughts of this cap employee at a glance.
He just wanted to squeeze Zuo Fei so that he could get more money. Like this kind of routine, Zuo Fei has seen a lot before.
"Of course it's true, my mom also said that the uncle who helped pick up the goods is a good man, and when we see him later, my uncle will definitely help us. Zuo Lin, Zuo Xin, you say yes?" Zuo Fei said to his younger brothers and sisters behind him.
"Yes, we can witness it!" Zuo Lin echoed.
"Your mother is right, although I am not a big person, but I am a good person. Okay, whatever fruit you want, I'll sell it to you cheaper!"
Zuo Fei thought to himself when he heard this.
It seems that no matter what era you are in, it is always right to say good things to others.
If you are reckless and impulsive, not only will you not be able to get the original price of the fruit, but you will completely offend the person in front of you, which will outweigh the losses.
In the end, Zuo Fei bought 50 catties of Tianhuai Fuji apples and 50 catties of Tianhuai agricultural products Ya pears from the wholesale market. The price is the same as what my mother explained before, Tianhuai Fuji apples are two yuan per catty, and Tianhuai agricultural products Sydney pears are seven cents per catty.
The final finalization was 135 yuan.
When leaving the fruit wholesale market, Zuo Xin asked his eldest brother Zuo Fei.
"Brother, Mom didn't let us buy so much fruit, and Mom only gave you fifty, where do you have so much money in your hand?"
When the cap employee standing on the side heard that there was not so much money, his face suddenly turned dark, and he pulled Zuo Fei's shoulder and asked.
"You don't have so much money and you want to buy it, what do you mean, dare you want a white wolf with empty gloves? I don't care so much about you, if you don't give me the money, you don't want to take any of these fruits. ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet. I'm going to give you the fifty dollars first, and then I'm going to stake this student ID of mine on you. I am a student of Tianhuai No. 1 Middle School, and if I didn't have a student ID, I wouldn't even be able to enter the school gate. As for the remaining eighty-five yuan, I will definitely return it to you in the afternoon. Zuo Fei explained.
"What's in it for me?" said the cap employee's face was indifferent.
"Before five o'clock in the afternoon, if I don't hand over the rest of the money to you, you will take this student ID to Tianhuai No. 1 Middle School, and I will pay double the price as compensation. And if I return the money to you in time, I will give your uncle ten dollars exceptionally. This deal, no matter how you calculate it, you are the one who makes it!"
The man in the cap nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then according to what you said, remember, before five o'clock in the afternoon, it will not wait!"
"Definitely!" Zuo Fei said with a smile.
Half past nine in the morning.
Zuo Fei and his younger siblings have found a suitable spot in the market and have already placed the fruit in front of them.
"Brother, with so many fruits, can we sell them before five o'clock?" Zuo Lin asked worriedly.
"If you let someone else sell it, it may not sell out. But let me fly left to do it, and it will definitely be sold out. You can wait for the money later, and leave the rest to my brother!" Zuo Fei said seriously.
Zuo Fei picked out a few catties of bright-looking apples and pears from the basket, put them on different fruit baskets, and then pasted the price on the fruit basket, eight yuan per pound of high-quality apples from other places, and five yuan per pound of high-quality Ya pears from other places.
In this way, after others see it, they will choose the cheaper one.
Other apples are labeled as three pieces of five, two pounds and six pieces, and three pounds and nine pieces.
Other pears are labeled as one pound and one piece of five, two pounds of two pieces of five, and three pounds of three pieces of five.
"Brother, the price is so high, can you sell it?" Zuo Xin said worriedly.
"You'll find out later!"
Zuo Fei tore his throat, stood up, and shouted loudly.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, there are delicious fruits here, and you don't need money if it's not delicious!"
In buying and selling, you must tear off face, and the less face you have, the more money you will make. Sure enough, less than a moment later, a large number of buyers gathered at Zuo Fei's fruit stall.
An old woman looked at the label of the fruit stall, pointed to the more expensive apples and pears, and asked Zuo Fei curiously.
"Young man, why are your apples and pears so expensive?"
"Auntie, these apples and pears are high-quality fruits from other places, so they are a little expensive. I see that Auntie, you have a good temperament and such good skin maintenance, you must eat fruit often. ”
After the old woman heard Zuo Fei's sweet words, she was immediately overjoyed, she originally wanted to buy a pound of ordinary apples here, but when she saw the price tag on the fruit, she found that the more she bought, the more affordable it became, so she directly bought three catties in one go.
With the old woman's first transaction, Zuo Fei's fruit stall suddenly became even more popular.
In less than three hours, all the fruits in front of him had been sold.
As for those apples and pears with high prices, Zuo Fei changed the price and easily sold them at an ordinary price.
Summing up some income, Apple received 158 yuan, Sydney received 67 yuan, and the total income was 225 yuan. After deducting the cost and other expenses, the benefit of this apportionment is 80 yuan.
This benefit is already very good, and in 2009, it was worth a day's salary of the average person in the town.
When he returned to the wholesale fruit market, he exchanged for his student ID and gave the cap man 95 yuan.
At this time, Zuo Lin's stomach screamed uncontrollably.
"Zuo Lin, you're hungry, brother will take you down to the restaurant!"
"Great!" Zuo Lin said excitedly.
"Long live my brother!" Zuo Xin hugged Zuo Fei and was overjoyed.
Since the accident with my father, any expenses in the family have become scarce, and they eat bran pickles every day, and they still don't have enough to eat. Now the two of them heard that they could go down to the restaurant to eat, and they were about to jump up with excitement.
In this era, prices were generally low, and it cost nine yuan for a full meal for three people.
While it was still early, Zuo Fei took his younger brothers and sisters to a stationery store and bought some stationery for them to use.
Last night, Zuo Fei checked his younger siblings' schoolbags and found that their schoolbags didn't have much stationery, only one or two pens that could barely write, and the pens didn't have much ink.
Since he has returned to ten years ago, he will definitely not let his relatives go down the old path.
Although studying is not necessarily a successful path, it is a successful path for most people, so Zuo Fei plans to let his younger siblings study hard. Buying these stationery pieces is just the first step that Zuo Fei gives them.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zuo Fei asked Zuo Lin and Zuo Xin to go back first, and the two asked why Zuo Fei didn't go back together, and Zuo Fei casually found a perfunctory reason, saying that there was something to handle.
It wasn't until his younger siblings disappeared from his sight that Zuo Fei turned around and ran towards the nearest Internet café as fast as he could.
"At the beginning, I made a fortune as an online writer, and I could barely eat a bowl of rice. And now I can go back to 10 years ago and know what kind of books will be a big hit. So, writing a book will be the first step on my path to success!"
