11. Chapter 11
I got up early the next morning, and Zhou Yun said, "Sister, brother, you go to a place and find a store to sell in our township and Shilipu Town." This way it can be sold faster. Then she said a few words to the two of them.
Both of them felt that there was no problem, for insurance, Zhou Meng took Zhou Dafang, Zhou Shengwu took Lin Xinzhen and set off with peanuts on a bicycle, and Zhou Dafang and the two went to the seat of the Zhougang Township Government in their township. After arriving in the township, Zhou Meng pushed his bicycle and waited on the side, Zhou Dafang went to a store that mainly sold dried fruits, put the bicycle outside the store, and entered the store.
The shopkeeper was a woman with hot waves, and when she saw Zhou Dafang, she asked, "Sister, what do you want to buy?"
Zhou Dafang thought about what her sister said before she left and asked, "Sister, are there salted peanuts for sale here?"
Dabo โกโก person named Wang Fen, and said with a smile: "When the peanuts were just harvested, they were boiled and salted to eat, but now they are all dried, how can there be salty!" Moreover, the boiled salted peanuts are wrinkled as soon as they are dried, so hard that they can be used as small stones, and they are not delicious at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped doing this business.
Zhou Dafang took out his own peanuts, "Why not, you taste it, this is salty!"
Wang Fen looked at the appearance of the peanuts white, very clean, took it and peeled it off, the kernel was also full, a taste, salty and delicious, with a sweet and silky taste, although there is no original peanut crisp, but there is a different flavor.
Her eyes lit up, "Girl, where did you buy these peanuts? โ
Zhou Dafang smiled and said, "Don't hide it from the eldest sister, this is what I did, I want to see if there is anything for sale in the township." I asked you about this shop, and then I went to the east of the township to have a look. If they don't sell, I'd like to set up my own stall to sell them. After speaking, he pretended to sigh unintentionally, "I just feel that it is very troublesome to set up a stall." โ
Wang Fen often does business and is very sensitive to new flavors, knowing that as soon as this salted peanut comes out, there are a few people who buy their own original peanuts. Listening to Zhou Dafang's "self-talk" again, he had an idea, "Sister, I think you feel close, you see that you want to sell peanuts only, there are too few varieties to sell, and you can't sell them when it is windy and rainy, so it's better to do this, how about you put peanuts here and sell them? I'll give you money, and you will save trouble." โ
"That's not good, I'm far away from here, and I can't collect money every day. Zhou Dafang gave full play to his honest nature.
Wang Fen felt more and more that he could take advantage of this honest man, and said ruthlessly: "Many of the things in my store are sold on behalf of others, and I only give money to the supplier after selling, but I will give you all the money in advance, sister, I also look at you kindly, just like my own sister, so I bought out your peanuts in advance." โ
"Okay, how much is a pound?"
"The original one sells for three yuan a catty, and the salty one is three yuan for you. โ
"Forget it, there are a lot of processes for this fee, I still have to buy big materials or something, three yuan and three are in vain. I'll take another look. โ
Wang Fen gritted his teeth, "Three yuan five, no matter how much I can't sell." โ
"Oh well. Zhou Dafang pretended to agree, thinking that his sister's method of explaining would really work, and the other party automatically said that he wanted to buy out his own peanuts.
She called Zhou Meng to come over, Zhou Meng locked the bicycle, carried the bag into the store, and weighed exactly 20 pounds. Wang Fen was a little dissatisfied, what if this girl sold salted peanuts to others? Anyway, it was cold, and the dried peanuts could be put away, and it was nothing to buy more.
"No more?"
"Let's sell it first. We'll be back tomorrow. Zhou Meng was surprised to see that his daughter had negotiated the business so quickly.
"Those two, they said that they would sell it to me, but you can't sell it to anyone else. โ
"Don't worry, I won't sell it to anyone else in our township. "Meaning, you can't care about it anywhere else.
Wang Fen breathed a sigh of relief, so that she would have more things in the store than the consignment store in the east, so she happily counted seventy yuan and gave it to Zhou Dafang, and grabbed a handful of candy cubes for her to eat.
When the two of them came out, it was like a dream, Zhou Meng bought two catties of meat and a piece of tofu and went home. Zhou Dafang began to wash and cook peanuts and make lunch, and when the meal was almost done, Lin Xinzhen and Zhou Shengwu also came back, and when they asked, the two of them also sold the peanuts smoothly.
Lin Xinzhen was so excited, "It turns out that you sell cabbage, and you only sell cabbage for twenty or thirty yuan a day, but today these twenty catties of peanuts are sold for seventy, except for the peanut money, the big money, how can you earn thirty." โ
"We're the same, that's going to add up to sixty dollars. Zhou Dafang saw that her mother had forgotten her share and said busily.
"The main thing is that Xiaofang's idea is good, and she knows how to do it, so she can sell it at a high price. Raw peanuts alone aren't worth that much. โ
"That's right, Xiaofang's brain is really alive. Zhou Dafang hugged Zhou Yun's neck when she came back from school, and her eyes narrowed with a smile. Zhou Yun taught her how to make salted peanuts, and she can also earn her own money to spend in the future.
"In the future, you have to remember to be good to Xiaofang. Zhou Meng warned his family that if it wasn't for this adopted daughter, they wouldn't be able to earn this money.
"Of course. Now in addition to family affection, they still have a sense of gratitude to Zhou Yun.
"I don't have time either, it's mainly up to you, but don't give this method to others, otherwise it won't be worth it. Zhou Yun said busily.
"Don't worry, we won't be told if anyone asks. Lin Xinzhen said, but she was so proud in her heart, her adopted daughter is really capable.
The next day was even more happy, the two of them sent 30 catties each, but Wang Fen said that it was sold quickly, let them send 80 catties at a time, Shilipu Town wanted more, they entered 100 catties, so that they could send it again in two days.
A family of 80 pounds and a family of 100 pounds, which stunned the Zhou family, Lin Xinzhen wiped the sweat in her palms, "Oh my God, I can earn more than two hundred dollars this day, I'm not dreaming." โ
Zhou Dafang pinched her, and Lin Xinzhen slapped her in pain, "Dead Nizi, how can you pinch your mother?" She was also very excited, it turned out that she would never say the word death, it was unlucky, and she realized it after saying it this time, and she was busy praying again, so that all kinds of immortals would not believe what she had just said.
Zhou Dafang was not angry at all when he was photographed, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Mom, didn't you say that this is a dream, I'll let you wake up." โ
Zhou Yun was very happy to see the family like this, this family is not as silent as a pool of stagnant water now, and earning money makes this family full of upward hope.
There are a lot of peanuts asked for by people outside, which made the four members of the Zhou family except Zhou Yun busy with their hands and feet, boiling so many peanuts at once, how big a pot is, you can't use an iron pot, otherwise it is easy to have a chemical reaction when salt is added, and the shell of the boiled peanuts will turn black. It took a busy day for the family to meet the needs of the two townships.
As the situation stabilized, between 50 and 80 catties were sold in a day. After being proficient, one person can take care of it, and everyone is relieved.
The life of the family has obviously begun to improve, and it is no longer like before, every day it is either cold cabbage or fried cabbage, and now every day it is either to buy tofu sprouts or to buy vegetables that they do not grow in the field, and several kinds of food are changed.
The eggs produced by the family have never been taken out again, and they are all eaten by themselves, one boiled egg per person in the morning, and scrambled eggs in the evening. Every two days, they will go to buy catties of meat for a change of taste, and with Zhou Dafang's good skills, they are satisfied with what they eat.
Zhou Dafang's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he said that this is how to live. It used to be cabbage that I ate every day, and when I thought of cabbage, my stomach was sour, but now it's also cabbage, fried with meat, and then put some vermicelli, it's really fragrant.
Money is heroic courage, this also applies to Zhou Yun's adoptive parents' family, when they went out again, their voices were loud, and their waists were straightened, which was simply radiant.
