Chapter 21 Livelihood Issues
bought a bag of 50 catties of flour, and they sent it to the Jiang family under the banner of wanting to do business on their own. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Jiang's family lives in a bungalow on the edge of the compound, Uncle Jiang is a volunteer for more than ten years, his education is not high, and it is difficult to do it for various reasons, but when he can do it, something happened.
Aunt Jiang is a middle-aged woman who looks simple and capable, but also very traditional. I was afraid of wasting things, and I said it for a long time before I agreed to help them do it. Uncle Jiang didn't say anything. Aunt Jiang made the dough the night before, and began to knead the dough early the next morning. Ling Yang and the others went over early in the morning to help, and Jiang Li also went. Xiaoqing, it's too young to be so early. An Chenyuan also followed.
When the second pot came out, Chen Renqing took An Chenxi over. A group of people looked at a pile of steamed buns and didn't know what to do. Chen Renqing looked at them with disdain: "A bunch of young men, I don't know what to do? β
Dongzi was not convinced, "You little girl, and you still say that we, do you know how to sell it?"
"I don't know what to say? How much do you sell for this steamed bun? Where is the vegetable market?"
A group of people looked at each other, they didn't know the price at all, they were all masters who didn't go into the kitchen, and the military region also had a canteen. They never bothered about that.
Xiao Qing was furious: "You said that you don't do market research when you do any business! But the people who have been teachers, they are stunned for a while. "That's it, the steamed buns we make are big, two cents each, five cents three. Ling Yang rode your bicycle here, and the steamed buns were loaded with a big basket. Let's go to the vegetable market to sell and see. β
Ling Yang and they were not so easy to command: "Why five cents and three?"
"Would you rather buy three for six cents or three for five?"
"Five cents. "People like to be cheap.
"That's it. β
Jiang Li finally spoke: "Go quickly." It was dawn in a moment. β
A group of people hula and walked away. Xiaoqing asked Aunt Jiang for a piece of white cloth and put it on the steamed bun, and then went to the vegetable market with Jiang Li and them. I thought that Lingyang would ride a bicycle, but no one dared to take a basket of steamed buns away, so they had to slowly push the car to the door of the vegetable market. Xiaoqing asked them to put the car at the door of the vegetable market. But after waiting for a long time, no one dared to open their mouths to sell.
Xiaoqing hates that iron can't become steel, looking at these unenlightened children, she is really in the mood to be a teacher again, and she is quite depressed. I thought that the post-70s generation could be more sensible than the post-80s, and it seems that children who have not experienced wind and rain are just as naΓ―ve as they are after zero, and they are the same flowers in the greenhouse.
"Forget it, look at me. "Xiaoqing is ready to sell cute. "Don't miss it when you pass by, big and sweet steamed buns, come and buy them." Two cents a piece!"
After shouting for a long time, an old grandmother finally came over: "How much is a steamed bun?"
"Two cents a piece, grandma, if you buy three, I'll count five cents for you. β
The old grandmother touched Xiaoqing's little head, "What about your adults, why do you let these children sell steamed buns?"
"We work and study to earn our own tuition. Grandma buy one, let's open it too. If you buy more, I'll give you another one. β
"Give me 10. The old woman took out her handkerchief to make steamed buns.
"Collect you a piece of five, we will open, that one will be given to you." Thank you grandma. You walk slowly. Xiaoqing sent the first customer away. "See, just shout. β
Jiang Li was a little puzzled: "Xiaoqing, we won't lose money if we sell like this." β
"Big brother, how many steamed buns do you want to make for 50 catties of noodles. If you buy more, we can give one more, and three cents for five cents seem to be 1 cent less, but we have just started, and it can be regarded as earning popularity, so that there will be more people who buy it in the future, and the steamed bread will not lose money if it sells quickly. β
Ling Yang asked stupidly, "What is popularity?"
Your uncle, he leaked his mouth again, "Shout quickly, don't talk nonsense." I'm not a hundred thousand why!" Forced by obscenity, everyone began to shout, at first the voice was still small, and finally let go, the face was not red, even soliciting customers to shout, a basket of steamed buns was sold out, and ran a few more times. Today's noodles are all sold out. Everyone gathered at Jiang's house to count the money. After a rough calculation, only 15 catties of noodles were sent today, six cents a pound of flour, in addition to the cost of 9 yuan, the gross profit was 25, and all the noodles were back in one day. Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect this steamed bun to be so profitable.
Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang were all present, Xiaoqing asked them what they thought, Aunt Jiang was a little tempted, but she also knew how stubborn her man was, and no one could say anything he didn't want to do. It was Jiang Li who broke the silence: "Uncle Jiang, we want to open a steamed bun shop, can you and Aunt Jiang stay and help us?" Xiaoxin must at least graduate from junior high school." β
"Are you taking pity on me?" Uncle Jiang clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.
Jiang Li said calmly, "Do you think you are pitiful?" The two fell silent together.
"Uncle Jiang, don't think so. We wanted to make money, but we were too young to have this idea. I want you and Aunt Jiang to help us. Besides, do you really want Brother Xiaoxin to go back to his hometown? What can you do when you go back? Do you farm? Or which unit is willing to pick you up? β
Xiao Qing knew that his words were a bit heart-wrenching. "You don't think about yourself, you don't think about your aunt, you have to think about Brother Xiaoxin. At least let him go through the year. β
The child can touch the hearts of his parents the most, and Xiaoqing seems to be touched when he sees that his face has calmed down.
"Uncle Jiang, you will help us this year. Just stay in the provincial capital for a year, and when Xiaoxin's brother graduates from junior high school, he can participate in the military inspection, and if you still want to go back at that time, we won't stop you. β
"Hmph, if you want to open a store, okay, I'll work for you. Let's open the store first. Don't say this if you can't open it, and besides, we don't live in this military compound. Uncle Jiang is still hard-mouthed, but he also thinks so in his heart, how can he open this store with a few children.
"Okay, that's a deal. "Jiang Li contracted. "Let's go, let's go back first. Auntie, at the end of the day, we'll continue tomorrow. "I left with a large group of children.
Ling Yang was a little worried: "Brother Jiang, where do we get the money?"
"I have all the money saved for the New Year, there should be more than 1,000. β
"That's not enough. β
"I'll go back and ask Grandpa. β
Xiaoqing took out 200 yuan from her bag and gave it to Jiang Li, if it weren't for Uncle Wu's nervousness, she still wanted to sell 5% of the shares to him, and then use it to open a store. Jiang Li was a little surprised, "Xiaoqing, keep this money for yourself." β
"Brother Jiang Li, let's go find Grandpa Jiang first, if he can help find a shop, let's negotiate the price with others to see if we can rent it for a few months. When Uncle Wu comes back, I will have a way. β
The others can't do it, they don't have much pocket money, let alone save money, and they can buy a few ice creams at most.
When they returned to An's house, everyone found that Uncle Wu, a busy man, was actually at home. Grandma An greeted An An and wiped her sweat for An An and Xiaoqing: "Where did you all go, Xiaoqing, your Uncle Wu has been waiting for a long time." β
Xiaoqing felt a little strange, what was the use of looking for her now.
"Xiaoqing, can you give me your design draft first?"
"Why?"
"I bought the factory, and the loan came down in a few days, didn't you say that the Soviet Union's trade could be tried? I wondered if it would be better to recruit people first, and then we could directly pull the Soviet Union when our factory started. I've found someone who made the pattern. Just wait for your manuscript. Well, I don't believe your uncle yet. β
Xiaoqing thought for a while, "It's not impossible to give it to you, I'll give you some design drafts for autumn and winter clothes first." I need money, and this batch is sold to you. "I went upstairs and got a dozen drawn drafts.
Wu Minghao was very excited to get the design draft, and he would soon be able to start work. Pretty much just a stretch of it. "Uncle Wu, give me five thousand for these ones, and I can give you five percent of the shares. β
"Aren't you afraid that your Uncle Wu will unload the mill and kill the donkey?"
"Don't be afraid, as long as you are willing to let others earn this money. β
"Why is this kid so uncute. Wu Minghao took out 2,000 yuan from his bag at that time, and gave Xiaoqing an IOU for the rest.
"By the way, Uncle Wu, have you ever seen a down jacket?
"I've seen it, and I've bought it for your grandma Wu, but I don't know how to do it. β
"If you want to go to the Soviet Union, you can go to Guangzhou first to order a batch of down jackets and sell them out of season. β
"I'll bring you the rest of the money in a few days, and I can draw more drafts for your uncle, I can count on you." Wu Minghao didn't know why he trusted this little girl so much, she seemed to have a natural sensitivity to business. "By the way, your dad called and said he would pick you up in a few days. If school starts, my uncle will send you back. β
"No, I miss my mom anymore. β
An An suddenly sobbed, "I miss my mother too." Wow, I want my mother to ......" Another burst of chickens and dogs jumped, and it was easy to coax An An.
Xiaoqing told Jiang Li to ask Grandpa Jiang to find a storefront, and he went to wash his face and took a nap with An An. They eat steamed buns at noon. Jiang Li had no choice but to go home by herself to find the old man.
Uncle Jiang is actually an old subordinate of Old Man Jiang, and he used to recommend him to go to military school, but he was always delayed for various reasons, and finally he couldn't be promoted after working in the army for so many years, but when he could be promoted, something happened. I wanted him to stay in the army and arrange for him in logistics, but he didn't do anything. Fortunately, the children did it in a timely manner. After Grandpa Jiang knew their plan, he sent someone to find a faΓ§ade near the vegetable market, and also sent someone to paint the walls.
