Chapter 58: Buying melons at night
"Big brother, did you pay attention to the big black fish's expression tonight? hehe, I want to laugh when I think about it! That old guy must be angry to death, I look at his expression, I really want to come and beat us, but he still doesn't dare!haha......"
On the way back, the brothers were in a good mood.
Zhou Jian laughed heartily, and the corners of Zhou An's mouth were also filled with a happy smile.
Although he was confident and confident in his crayfish craftsmanship, he was not confident in his crayfish skills before he really started selling, and that was only confidence!
If you don't have confidence, you generally won't do it.
And on the first night of the real sale tonight, the business was so prosperous, which made Zhou An's heart steady, and it turned out that his self-confidence was not conceited.
"I'm in a good mood today, do you want to eat watermelon? If you want to eat it, I'll buy one when I get home!"
Compared with tonight's profit, the money of a watermelon is drizzle.
"Eat! Why don't you eat watermelon if you have it? Hehe, big brother! I earned a lot today, buy a bigger watermelon!" Speaking of watermelon, Zhou Jian was very interested.
"Okay! I'll pick the biggest one, okay?"
"Hey, big brother, how much do you think we've sold tonight?"
"Go home and count it!"
Zhou An is too lazy to guess, in fact, if he really wants to guess, he only needs to calculate the amount of goods prepared today, and he will definitely be able to estimate the same, but after a busy day and half a night, he is tired, physically tired, and mentally tired, so he is too lazy to use his brain.
"At least a thousand!"
Zhou Jian blurted out this number, and then sighed: "Big brother, I didn't expect business to be good, and it is so easy to make money!
Zhou An smiled, "So let's work hard, take advantage of the good business now, earn more, money is not so easy to earn all the time!"
This point, Zhou An, who has so much experience in his previous life, is deeply touched, and if he can't say anything like doing business, it may be prosperous this year, but it will be miserable next year.
It may also be prosperous today, and it will turn sharp tomorrow, and there are too many factors that affect it.
Zhou An was talking, and as soon as he returned to Zhou Jian's house and counted the money he had sold tonight, he took twenty yuan and went out to buy watermelons.
The money from tonight's sale is indeed quite a lot, more than 1,400!
Today, he bought back the fresh lobster, there are more than 40 catties, after washing and frying, he weighed 22 catties and 4 taels.
The one that was really sold was 21 copies, and the other 1 catty and 4 taels were not sold for money, because before going out of the stall tonight, he burned some at home for his mother and Zhou Jian to taste.
When I arrived at the food street, I cooked more than a dozen and asked Uncle Lu, who sold baked cakes, and Wang Hao, who was lame in the fruit store, to try them, and these two pieces almost used up half a catty, and there were not dozens of crayfish per catty.
In addition, the little girl in the Malatang shop bought 20 yuan, and some must have been consumed on the scales, and his crayfish opened for the first time tonight, and each one was weighed in front of the guests, and the pole must be weighed a little.
Each one is a little warped, and 21 copies are sold, so will it cost a few taels more?
Fortunately, the price he sells is not cheap, 45 yuan a piece, which is 5 yuan more expensive than the big black fish, so it is not a loss to give a little more on the scale.
In this way, the crayfish sold for 965 tonight.
Coupled with the money from the sale of spiced snails, isn't there more than 1,400?
The crayfish sold well tonight, and even the spiced snails became easy to sell, and many people who bought crayfish bought a snail to take away.
However, the cost of more than 1,400 is also a lot, and the various spices, peppers, peppercorns and soybean oil prepared by Zhou An in the past two days are not counted, just counting the cost of buying fresh crayfish today, it is close to 500 yuan.
A pound of live lobster costs 12 yuan, more than 40 pounds, and you can't get it without a small 500 yuan.
Excluding some miscellaneous costs, today's profit is estimated to be around 800.
This is due to the fact that the snails they sell are probed from the river by themselves, and if they rely on buying everything like the big black fish, the profit will have to be reduced a lot.
On the way to buy watermelons, Zhou An was thinking about these accounts in his heart, and had decided to stock up more goods tomorrow, and it was a pity that they would all be sold out in less than half past eight tonight!
Taizu said: It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord!
Now that he has the upper hand, Zhou An has decided to completely suppress the arrogance of the big black fish, even if he can't make his business completely impossible in the end, he has to let him die.
But you also have to guard against the big black fish and dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and playing crooked ways like last time.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Anxin thought about it and decided to buy an extra watermelon for Liang Yu to send later.
To prevent the big black fish from playing yin, using Liang Yu is the safest!
There are several families in the village who grow watermelons, and Zhou An went straight to the melon field of Qin Meixing's family, for no other reason, just because he was ripe with Qin Meixing, and since he was reborn, he has a good relationship with her.
Growing up in the countryside, Zhou An went to the fields at night, and he didn't need a flashlight at all, with the sparse starlight in the sky, he could vaguely see the ridges under his feet, and he could walk steadily.
It didn't take long to walk to the melon field of Qin Meixing, and a little further inside was where the melon shed was located.
Maybe it was because of Zhou Jiakang's bad intentions when he touched the melon shed last time, as soon as Zhou An walked to the melon field, there was a puppy barking from the melon shed.
"Got a dog?"
Zhou An was stunned, but felt that it was normal, Qin Meixing could learn the lesson of the last time, and it was indeed much safer to raise a dog here.
The melon shed was dark, a short distance away, although Zhou An heard the dog barking, but did not see the dog shadow, he could only judge from the barking that it should be a small milk dog, although the barking was loud, but it could not make people afraid, at most, he could only remind Qin Meixing in the melon shed that someone was coming.
In the black melon shed, there was a simple bamboo bed, the puppy suddenly barked non-stop, Qin Meixing on the bamboo bed opened her eyes in shock, and her right hand, which was originally touching between her legs, was hurriedly withdrawn, and the other hand on her chest was also withdrawn in a panic.
Hurriedly lifting her shorts and pulling down her undershirt, Qin Meixing sat up from the bed in a panic.
"Who's there? Who's outside?"
While asking in a panic, he continued to put pants on his body, and during this time, he also tidied up his somewhat messy hair a few times.
"Sister, it's me, Anzi, come and buy two watermelons, don't scream, I'll stew you if you call again!"
Outside the melon shed, Zhou An had already walked to the vicinity of the melon shed, and finally saw the true face of the little milk dog who kept barking, and the second half of the sentence was to scold this little milk dog who didn't know whether to live or die.
In the dark night, I couldn't see what color it was, and I could only vaguely see that the little thing should have just been weaned, and rushed to him fiercely, wanting to jump up and bite his foot, but ridiculously jumped up on the ridge, jumped and jumped hard, but every time it hit the side of the ridge, and then rolled down into the melon field.
