On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Weijia followed his uncle to the Modu Bay Area.

This journey made Zhang Wei feel a little emotional, although the magic capital is the center of the national economy, but compared with the magic capital of later generations, the difference is too far, there are not so many skyscrapers, and there is not so much congested traffic.

At night, Zhang Wei's family of three slept in the house rented by the uncle, and as for the uncle, he went to squeeze in with his brother-in-law Wei Shuilin for the night.

Early the next morning.

In the midst of the noise, Zhang Wei opened his eyes and looked at the clock at the head of the bed at six o'clock, but it was still dark outside.

Zhang Aiguo didn't know where to go, and Cheng Lin was busy making breakfast.

"Where's Dad?"

Zhang Wei asked his mother vaguely while brushing his teeth.

"He's gone to learn how to sell rice with your uncle, let's have breakfast first, and we'll send it to them later." Cheng Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

After eating breakfast silently, Zhang Wei followed Cheng Lin to bring breakfast to his father and uncle.

Next to the community.

“…… 8 cents a pound of rice...... It can't be cheap, buy and sell small. Zhang Jianguo greeted an old lady, and Zhang Aiguo stood aside and smiled.

"Okay, ten pounds, eight pieces. Zhang Jianguo took out a rod scale and weighed ten catties of rice for the old lady.

In 94, rice was still relatively cheap, unlike the two pieces of rice in later generations, and of course it was not like the five cents a pound said on the Internet, which was the ex-factory price of a large machine rice factory.

The general retail rice is eight cents a catty, the good one is nine cents, and the legendary fragrant stem rice is a pound, and the glutinous rice is more expensive than one piece, two pieces, and three pieces.

"It's breakfast. ”

Although Zhang Jianguo's rice stall was in the open air next to the community, the two were not embarrassed and ate breakfast with relish.

After breakfast, Zhang Wei observed for a while.

Zhang Jianguo could have been able to speak well, but seven or eight of the ten people who asked would eventually buy rice, and in just one hour, more than 200 catties were sold in this place where the flow of people was not very good.

No wonder he is willing to spend 30,000 yuan to start a building next year, Zhang Wei secretly thought in his heart, such a sales speed is indeed a bit terrifying, if it is not so good in the future, after all, the competition was too fierce at that time.

At this time, it is still more profitable to sell rice, coupled with the fact that electronic scales are not popular now, it is normal for ten catties of rice to be missing half a catty, not to mention that the lack of catties is less than two profiteers, you must know that if it is the kind of big truck to sell, a bag of 100 catties of rice is not even missing ten catties, and even more than 15 catties are missing, that is a shot for a cannon not to mention for the time being.

Zhang Jianguo can earn more than 30 yuan from more than 200 catties of rice, of course, this profit includes the lack of catties and taels, and if you sell it really you can only earn more than 20 yuan at most.

Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin didn't understand the market, they just helped sell rice, and by the way, they observed how Zhang Jianguo did business.

Zhang Weiwei knows a little about the market, after all, his father was a rice seller in his previous life, and he couldn't help but secretly speak, his father worked as a carpenter on the construction site for twenty yuan a day, and the uncle didn't say much, selling a thousand catties of rice a day, and he could earn one hundred and twenty or thirty a day.

As a result, the sales volume was still beyond his imagination, Zhang Jianguo sold more than 2,000 catties of rice in one day and earned more than 300 yuan.

No wonder some people say that the 90s were all over the place!

This made Zhang Wei look forward to his family starting to sell rice.

At dinner, Zhang Jianguo was more interested, sold a pot of rice wine and some pig's head meat, and drank with Zhang Aiguo.

"Today's business is relatively good, and I usually sell up to 14,500 catties. Zhang Jianguo said with a hearty smile.

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while, and felt that the uncle was not talking nonsense, after all, just after the New Year, many people just need to replenish daily necessities at home, but 14500 catties a day is not bad, and you can earn about 200 a day.

In the next few days, Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin continued to study with Zhang Jianguo, and they more or less understood these small methods, and slowly knew how much money Zhang Jianguo could make in a day, which made Zhang Aiguo and his wife look forward to the future and imagine how much money they could make when they started selling rice.

It's just that some things don't just need to be thought about.

A week later.

Zhang Wei's family began to go out to sell rice on their own.

This week, Zhang Wei's family rented a farmhouse, bought a tricycle and a bicycle, and bought 5,000 catties of rice, and there were only two kinds of rice in these years, 100 catties and 50 catties, 100 catties into 40 bags, and 50 catties into 20 packs.

Zhang Wei's family was full of confidence, found a stall near a community with a lot of people during the commuting period, and was ready to start doing business and selling rice, but the reality quickly poured cold water on their family.

In the whole morning, Zhang Wei's family sold more than 100 catties of rice, and Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin couldn't help but say a few more words in the face of such a bleak business.

"I said I was going to work on the construction site, you have to come to the magic capital. Zhang Aiguo said angrily.

Cheng Lin was also uncomfortable, but after hearing Zhang Aiguo's words, her anger also came up: "Then why is the boss's business so good, but our family can't do well?"

"How do I know!" Zhang Aiguo was indignant.

Cheng Lin sneered and said, "Why don't you say you're incompetent?"

"Mom and Dad, don't be noisy. Zhang Wei hurriedly persuaded: "Our family has just started, and it will get better." ”

Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin temporarily endured their anger, but neither of them cared about the other party anymore, and the atmosphere was suddenly silent and terrifying.

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, after all, the uncle has been selling rice for a year or two, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are already familiar with it, plus many old customers, so he can stabilize the appearance of 1,000 to 1,500 catties of rice every day.

But there is no way to go on like this, Zhang Wei kept thinking in his mind, how to make his family's business better, although he is a reborn, but in the face of the current situation, there is really no way for a while, but I vaguely feel that this place is not too good, how to say it, it seems that the flow of people is not too much, but there is a lot of traffic during the commuting period.

Until the end of the stall in the afternoon, Zhang Wei's family sold a total of more than 300 catties of rice, of course, just now doing business their family did not dare to lack catties or two.

Even if more than 300 catties of rice earned more than 30 yuan, which was much more than Zhang Jianguo earned in a day on the construction site, the two of them still had black faces.

It's not that they see Zhang Jianguo's business as good, but that they need money to rent a house, eat and buy vegetables here in the magic capital, and the more than 30 yuan they earn today can only be left at most about 20 yuan after deducting living expenses.

At dinner, Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin ignored each other, and Zhang Wei didn't know what to do, so he could only pray that business would be better tomorrow.

As a result, before tomorrow, Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin quarreled again. In the middle of the night, just as Zhang Wei was sleeping, the sound of his parents arguing woke him up.

"Zhang Aiguo, do you blame me?" Cheng Lin's face flushed angrily: "With the little money you earn on the construction site, you can support your family?"

"Don't blame you and still blame me?" Zhang Aiguo said angrily: "If it weren't for you clamoring to come to the magic capital, our family would not have fallen into the current situation." ”

Zhang Wei got up again to persuade and said, "Parents, don't make noise......"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Lin shouted: "To what extent have you fallen? What extent have you fallen? Ah! What less money has you earned today than you have on the construction site?"

"Do you need money to eat here?" Zhang Aiguo also shouted loudly: "What's the difference between this and what I do on the construction site, you sue me!"

Zhang Wei was so powerless, and his parents quarreled again because of money, so they couldn't help it after a day of business.

"Anyway, you're a wreck, and you deserve to be looked down upon by your aunt!" Cheng Lin began to be quite unreasonable.

"Am I a wreck?" Zhang patriotically slapped his face angrily and said angrily: "Then what you eat is still what I earned from this wretch!"

"Okay! stop arguing!" Zhang Weiwei roared, and his parents couldn't hear any other sound at all, so he could only shout in desperation.

Hearing Zhang Wei's roar, both of them fell silent, Cheng Lin's tears fell drop by drop, and Zhang Aiguo sighed on the side.

The beauty that they had hoped for was shattered by the impact, and both of them were in a very bad mood, and if this continued, they would definitely not be able to pay off their debts by the end of the year.

Zhang Wei was heartbroken when he saw his parents like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe his mother's tears.

He was a little scared, not because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make money, but because he was afraid that his parents would quarrel over money again, and if there were too many quarrels, maybe he would get divorced again.

In his previous life, although his parents were not very good because of quarrels, they did not divorce at least in the end, but if Zhang Wei was reborn, his parents would almost really divorce, if he hadn't been running on both sides, I am afraid that the two would still be fighting a cold war now, and this qiē is the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth.

If his parents are really divorced, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Dad, Mom, listen to me, business has to be done slowly, how can it get better all of a sudden?" Zhang Wei comforted his parents, in fact, he also knew that he was saying stupid things.

Zhang Jianguo and Cheng Lin saw their son so sensible, and their attitudes couldn't help but relax, and they were no longer as tense as they were just now.

"Patriotism, it's my fault, I shouldn't blame you. Cheng Lin apologized.

Zhang Aiguo also sighed and said: "I also have bad things, let's do business for a few more days and see, if you really can't do it, then go back, it's a big deal I'll go to the construction site again." ”

Zhang Wei didn't say anything, although he was determined in his heart to sell rice to his father to the construction site to have a future, a fact that his father had proven in his previous life, but in such an environment, he could only remain silent.

The family fell asleep like this, but Zhang Wei still heard his parents sigh softly.

Let's hope tomorrow will be better.

It's just that tomorrow will not get better, and Zhang Wei's business is not very good, on the contrary, it has become worse.

The next day, their family sold more than 200 catties of rice, which was really not as much as Zhang Aiguo earned on the construction site.

Zhang Aiguo and Cheng Lin each apologized the night before, but they quarreled violently that night.

Zhang Wei watched this scene, his heart ached and he couldn't speak, he didn't sleep all night, all he thought about was why his business was so bad.
