Chapter 74: Store Opening Plans
Yu Cailan did not directly answer Xia Jie's question, but picked up a pair of pull-back shoes, which she bought for Yu Caiwei, and she always had to have a decent pair of sneakers in high school.
She took the shoes and asked Xia Jie: "Third aunt, do you know how much these shoes sell for on the market?"
Xia Jie hasn't answered yet, but Yu Caiwei has spoken, she has long wanted to have a pair of pull-back shoes, of course she knows the price.
"Twenty-five bucks is about the same. Yu Caiwei usually just dared to think about it, and he didn't dare to mention it like Yu Yaguang.
"Well, almost, twenty bucks up. Xia Jie saw that other people's children had something to wear, and after asking the price, she didn't follow.
"If these shoes are wholesaled, it will cost a dozen yuan at most. I bought this pair separately and spent 18 on the wholesale market. It would be cheap if there were more. β
"It's so bad!" Xia Jie and the others had never been far away, and they didn't know what the outside world was like.
Yu Cailan said and took out a piece of paper, which was the wholesale and retail prices of various daily necessities she recorded. Because Xia Jie's literacy was not very complete, she asked Yu Caiwei to read it to Xia Jie and Yu Yun.
By the time Yu Caiwei finished reading, Yu Yunlai and Xia Jie both felt that there was too much difference between the wholesale price and the retail price. Xia Jie remembered Yu Cailan's previous proposal, and she was also moved.
But if there is no extra house, where can the goods be sold?
Yu Cailan saw that the heat was almost over, so she said: "Third uncle and third aunt, what do you think now, how about opening a grocery store in our family? β
Yu Yunlai They have been accustomed to buying things from the supply and marketing cooperatives for so many years, and they want to be the first people to eat crabs in the village, and they still lack courage in these older generations, although they are very excited, but they are not at ease in terms of policy. And if you don't have a house and no capital, what can you do to open a store?
Yu Yunlai saw that Yu Cailan was so attentive to their family's plans, so he expressed his concerns.
Yu Cailan patted Xia Jie on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, the policy will not change, don't worry about the house and money, am I not rich? β
"This, how can this work?" Yu Yunlai immediately vetoed.
"Listen to me first, and then talk about it. Yu Cailan knows that it is not easy to convince them, it is easy for Chinese people to follow the crowd, and the first person to eat crabs is not something that anyone can do, not to mention Yu Yunlai, a couple of honest farmers who have been honest for half their lives.
But only by letting them live a good life can Yu Cailan feel at ease to do what he wants to do.
"The policy will not change, you can rest assured. As for the house, your place is very good, I think you can build a row of houses in front of the yard, of course, now that the money is small, you can build half of it first, and then the house will be longer. I have more than 4,000 in my hand now, and I don't know the price of building materials, but even if it is not much worse. After building a house, simply clean up, and you can sell it when you order something. Yafei will live there after that, and he doesn't have to live in a barn anymore. β
Yu Cailan finished her plan in one breath, and then looked at them quietly.
After Xia Jie heard this, she also wanted to open a store, but it would use up all Yu Cailan's money, how could she do this?
Thinking of this, she waved her hand again and again and said no. Yu Cailan knew that they were afraid of using her money.
"Third aunt, can you just watch Cai Wei and Yaguang suffer, can't eat well and dress badly? Can you watch that the second brother's marriage is not going well?"
Xia Jie listened to it, but she didn't know what to say. One is Yu Cailan, and the other is her children. I only hate myself for having no ability.
Yu Cailan said: "Let's take a long-term view, your family is living a good life, you can help me in the future, three uncles and three aunts, do you say? My money can only be deposited in the bank, I can rest assured that it will be returned to me in a few years, what are you afraid of? You can also earn some and pay me back." I can't use much for the time being. β
Yu Yaguang listened, shook his mother's arm, his eyes were full of longing, he really wanted to have a store in his house.
Every year on Children's Day, the school will organize students to go to the woods to play near the empty and clean big sand slope, and each student will buy something to eat and take with them. His mother would give him a dollar every time, and soda must be bought, but after he bought soda every Juneteenth, he would be entangled in whether the rest of the money was better to buy biscuits or bread. If he has a store, he doesn't have to worry about it. It's that simple for a child.
Yu Caiwei also wants her family's life to get better, she knows very well that with her parents' physical strength, it is difficult to farm.
Yu Cailan asked Yu Yafei: "Second brother, the family farms, and it takes a lot of money to buy seeds, fertilizers and pesticides every year, right? But you only need to invest this time to open a shop and build a house, right?"
Yu Yafei nodded, Cai Lan is right, farming has to be invested every year, and it costs a lot of money, and if the climate is bad and you don't make money, you can do it in vain for a year.
Yu Caiwei listened, and also pulled Xia Jie's arm, Xia Jie looked at the child's eager eyes, and felt that there was indeed no other way at home, so she asked Yu Yunlai: "Dad, what do you say?"
Yu Cailan knew that Xia Jie was willing, so she said with a smile: "The third uncle is so good to the third aunt, of course he listens to the third aunt, and this matter is decided." Next, we have to figure out how to build this house. I don't know much about this, so I may have to ask my second brother to find a bricklayer and ask my uncle. β
Xiang Hui is a senior bricklayer in the village, and the surrounding villages have asked him to organize people to build houses.
Yu Cailan said this, this matter is settled, and Yu Yunlai and his wife did not object again.
Yu Caiwei and Yu Yaguang are very happy, they are going to open a store at home, and they are happy when they think that there are all kinds of goods for sale in the house. As soon as Yu Yaguang was happy, he walked around the room, jumped on the stool when he encountered it, and turned over when he encountered the table stab. This time Yu Caiwei is not annoying, and she is also happy.
It's just that she won't be as naΓ―ve as Yu Yaguang, she secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would study hard in the future, and she would be good to her second sister when she grew up.
At this time, Xia Jie brought the egg custard, and Yu Cailan smiled: "After talking so much, my mouth is thirsty, Yaguang, go and pour some water for my sister to drink." β
Children's legs and feet are dexterous, it is the age of love to move, and they must be called when they should be called.
Yu Yaguang listened, ran away, and quickly brought a glass of water.
Yu Cailan also sent Yu Yaguang to get two small bowls, and gave the egg custard to Yu Caiwei and Yu Yaguang to eat. Yu Caiwei didn't want it, Yu Cailan said: "You received the admission letter today, you should be happy, eat, don't push it." When you go to high school, it won't be so easy to eat the food cooked by the third aunt. β
Yu Caiwei took the spoon and ate it.
