Chapter 15 Cost of Living

After Chen Jin's series of "preferential policies", the two old ladies ran away as if they were hiding from the plague, leaving Chen Jin standing alone in front of the stall.

"Dizzy, shouldn't it, isn't this kind of bundling the most popular in the previous life?"

Chen Jin, who wanted to break his head, didn't understand why he couldn't sell it, but Zhu Chengming walked over slowly.

"Why Xiaojin, the two old ladies didn't sell it? No, these two people often come to me to buy yellow eels. Throwing a cigarette to Chen Jin, Uncle Ming couldn't figure it out.

Chen Jin told Uncle Ming what he had just done, and Uncle Ming thought for a long time and patted his thigh: "You are just messing around!"

It's rare to see Uncle Ming angry, and Chen Jin is a little overwhelmed!

"Xiao Jin, think about it, will you come to the market to buy ten catties of yellow eels in one go?" Uncle Ming asked without answering.

Chen Jin suddenly realized that the yellow eel is no better than cakes and fruits, and he usually eats it when he picks it up, even if he cooks it every time, it is only three or five taels, about half a catty, and he can't eat it more.

"What should I do then? It's better to give the benefit to the guests every time I give a small profit, I'm not wrong!" Chen Jin was a little wronged.

Uncle Ming sighed: "Doing business is down-to-earth, and the marketing method is not suitable for the vegetable market......"

Only then did Chen Jin understand what Uncle Ming meant.

But after a while, the two old ladies were followed by three middle-aged women, who seemed to be coming in the direction of themselves.

"Young man, buy ten pounds and get one pound free?" a middle-aged woman in the lead shouted.

"Uh...... Yes, aunt introduced you?" Chen Jin was a little depressed.

"Okay, give me ten pounds, divide it into five parts, two pounds and two taels each, okay?" said the woman in charge.

Chen Jin was stunned, there is still this kind of operation?

Soon ten catties of yellow eels were weighed, and the remaining one catty Chen Jin took a knife to remove the bones, and made them into silk and divided them into five parts, each of which was two taels.

"My scales, aunts, you can rest assured, you know the location of the fair scales in front, and you need to come again!"

After collecting the money, the five of them divided it and took it in their hands, weighed it, and turned to leave.

Uncle Ming smiled in the distance and turned back to his stall.

"Young man, you're not enough for ten pounds...... three middle-aged women ran over, pointing to the price of the pot and didn't ask.

was so messed up, although Chen Jin's booth was full of people, it was sold out at about nine o'clock.

"Auntie, if you want to buy it, please be early tomorrow, and there are still three catties of yellow eels that you want to buy for thirty yuan and take it away!"

Chen Jin is lazy nonsense, although there is no trouble of bargaining for two or three hours, there are two portions that need to be cut into eel silk.

After cutting more than 20 catties of yellow eel, Chen Jin only felt that the index finger of his right hand was no longer his own.

After finishing the last business, thirty yuan was in hand, and Chen Jin began to count the money.

58 catties of yellow eel, did 5 times of 11 catties of business, 120 yuan each time, a total of 600 yuan.

The last 3 catties of yellow eels were sold for 30 yuan, plus the previous total of 630 yuan.

After removing the cost of 320 yuan, Chen Jin made a net profit of 210 yuan today.

"It's so easy to make money doing business!"

However, when Chen Jin counted the money, he found that there were a lot of gross tickets, and in 97 years, this thing was very circulating, and it was annoying to count.

Uncle Ming was late today, and Chen Jin waited until about eleven o'clock before he closed the stall, so he walked around the market.

Earning 210 yuan today would have been a great thing, and if it was a teenager, Chen Jin might have celebrated.

But after being reborn, Chen Jin knew that every money was very important to him now.

"Boss, how do you sell carrots?"

"Three cents and five pounds!"

"Where's the egg?"

"A piece of eighty-one pounds!"

"Hey, okay, a pound each!"

"A pound of eggs, a pound of tomatoes?"

"Okay!"

Pay and leave.

Ten eggs are just one catty, and six carrots are two catties.

"If you save a little food, one egg and half a carrot for each fried rice meal are enough to eat for about four days. ”

"Counting five cents for a meal of rice, ten meals is five yuan. With the addition of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the living expenses for three days are about ten yuan. ”

"The monthly living expenses are about 100 yuan. ”

"Smoke a day to control it, I haven't had lung cancer in my previous life, prevention is still necessary, half a pack a day, five a piece!

That's forty-five dollars a month, huh...... What's the cost?"

The rice cooker cooks rice and boils water, and the electricity bill is at least 20 yuan a month, and the water bill is almost negligible, so let's calculate it 30 together.

Chen Jin didn't know what the living expenses of an ordinary family of three were in this era, but even if he spent two hundred yuan, he could only barely survive.

Oh, and that's not even the rent!

"It's hard to make money!"

Washing carrots in the pool, Chen Jin slowly thought about what to do in the future.

In the first half of the month, even if I saved again, I used almost 300 yuan, mainly because I bought a lot of things for Xizi.

However, Chen Jin has a bottom line, and he didn't move a cent from the sale of the house, and today he still has a total of 710 yuan even on his previous body.

"Well, you may have to pay the booth fee in the afternoon, minus 450, and 260, so buy less tomorrow morning!

Lao Zhang still has two and a half months left, I can earn about two hundred a day, and two and a half months are tens of thousands, I'm looking forward to it......"

After washing the carrots, Chen Jin first slice them with a knife, then change the knife into shreds, then cut them into cubes, and put them aside.

Then take out the inner liner of the rice cooker and put water in it.

There is cooked rice in the pot, but it is already very hard, and the rice that is fried once with water is clearly grained.

This was not something that Chen Jin learned from a big hotel, but his mother taught him.

Chen Jin only bought it once, because he was afraid of losing nutrients.

After doing this, putting the pot aside, Chen Jin walked to the door, where there were two foam boxes with garlic and shallots planted in them.

Picking up some older garlic leaves, Chen Jin picked four of them, and when his fingers pinched the fifth, he retracted them again.

The shallots are very thin, slightly thinner than a ballpoint pen, and the quantity is more than that of garlic leaves.

The lighting in the kitchen is dim, and the honest house always tries to keep warm and ignores the light problem.

Chen Jin washed the onion and garlic, cut it into cubes with a knife, and then put the wok on the coal stove.

In his previous life, he was used to using gas, and after Chen Jin sat by the stove and smoked a cigarette, the wok only got hot, which was caused by the evaporation of the water in it after heating.

Chen Jin touched it, picked up the wok and shook it, threw the last drop of water out of the pot, and poured oil.

The aroma of rapeseed oil is evaporated by the wok, and when the flame comes up, it instantly turns into a pungent smell of oil smoke.

It seems that the cost of living will be increased a little, Chen Jin decided to buy some fatty meat and come back to refine oil, and the lard fried rice is the most fragrant.

Chen Jin squinted his eyes and looked at the pot, there was already green smoke, grabbed the onion and garlic and threw it into the pot.

"Wow!~"

The onion and garlic have water droplets, and the fragrance of the green onion fills the entire small kitchen.

Before the onion and garlic leaves turned black, Chen Jin quickly poured the rice from the rice cooker into the pot and stir-fried.

The dark golden canola oil wraps around each grain of rice, making the rice in the pot look golden and incomprehensible.

Seeing that the heat was almost up, Chen Jin broke the egg and spread it evenly on the rice with a spatula.

Finally, when you see that the eggs change color slightly and are golden brown, you can quickly take a bowl and serve rice.
