Chapter 26: Conversation II
The room fell into a dull place again, Lin Qiu looked at Li Mei frowning slightly, knowing that the sister-in-law wanted to understand this matter, but I was afraid that it would not be so easy and so fast, after all, it had been like this for decades. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But there will always be a time to understand.
"Sister-in-law, why did you come back so late with your uncle today?" You don't have to come back so late to sell bayberry, right? Could it be that you have traveled far away?
"Speaking of this, I'm quite happy in my heart, our dried bayberry has a market!" Li Mei was a little excited about this, this year's bayberry not only will not lose money, but may also make a small profit, she is happy in her heart. In addition, it costs money to go to other places for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and now I have to save some money, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.
"After the sun set today, I and the owner of the house sold dried bayberry, and met a shopkeeper who was doing grocery stores, and he intended to buy dried bayberry for us, because this dried bayberry is more durable, and he ordered us a hundred catties at once, that is, there is a requirement that we can't go to that village to sell dried bayberry in the future, and the price is five dimes a catty."
The corners of Li Mei's mouth raised slightly, and then said, "Although this piece of five dimes is much cheaper than selling it directly, excluding the cost of sugar, the profit of a pound of fresh bayberry made into dried bayberry is about five dimes." ”
Lin Qiu also made a small calculation in his heart, a pound of bayberry probably earns between four and five dimes, but this is all hard money, and only by working in front of the stove every day can there be such an income.
If the people who buy dried bayberry are the owners of grocery stores or stores, although it is a loss from the moment, it saves a lot of effort to sell dried bayberry and may be able to make more money.
"That's pretty good, this bayberry is mainly sold fresh, pick a big one to sell, and the dried bayberry will make a hundred catties a day." Lin Qiu roughly calculated that he could only consume five or six thousand catties of dried bayberry in a month, and the remaining more than 10,000 catties of fresh bayberry were really not easy to sell.
Relying on bulk sales alone, you have to sell about four or five hundred catties a day, and I am afraid that I can't sell them in the town.
"It's still brother and sister, you think about it, I didn't even think of this." Li Mei and Song Qing were only thinking about the joy of being able to sell the dried bayberry, so they forgot to consider that the production of this dried bayberry was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and more than 20,000 catties of fresh bayberry could not be finished at all.
"Sister-in-law, don't be too anxious about this dried bayberry, I'll help you make a few pots on the weekend, bayberry sells cheaper, some people sell triangular money for a catty, we sell it for five dimes and two catties, and the quality is better than others, and it will be sold."
However, in this way, all bayberry is only retailed and made, and dried bayberry is afraid that it will not be able to be completely consumed.
"Sister-in-law, did the owner of the grocery store say that dried bayberry should be done more?"
"It's not."
The current dried bayberry is not particularly dry, and if the grocery store owner asks for the very dry kind, then the profit will drop even further. In addition, it is necessary to have a good weather for dried bayberry, and now the rainy season around mid-June to early July has not yet ended, and it often rains.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~" Tiantian woke up and saw herself lying in her mother's arms, and cried aggrievedly.
Lin Qiu himself did not participate in the whole process of selling bayberry, it was just talk on paper, which was easier said than done. Lin Qiu thought that those uncles and sisters-in-law would have success in their hearts, and they knew how to maximize their interests, so they could only help here, and no matter how much they were, they were not professional and couldn't help.
Well, and I can help out on weekends.
"My Britney, what's wrong?" Li Mei patted Tian Tian's back, hugged Tian Tian, let her stand on the quilt, and leaned in to kiss Tian Tian's forehead.
"Tiantian, I'm afraid I'm frightened today." When Lin Qiu came back, Tian Tian's thin and weak cry was really distressing, and she reached out and touched Tian Tian's little hand, which was as tender as a shelled egg, but her hand was really small.
"Sister-in-law Tiantian is not yet two years old, right?" Tian Tian doesn't look like a two-year-old child, the cuteness of the little one is cute, but will it grow too slowly, Lin Qiu felt a little worried.
Tian Tian stopped crying and gently patted Lin Qiu's hand with her little fat hand, looking at Lin Qiu curiously.
Lin Qiu pointed at himself with another hand, "Aunt~Aunt~"
As a result, Tian Tian ignored it and turned her head to look at Li Mei, "Mom~ Mom." ”
"The year before last, Laba was born." Li Mei didn't realize Lin Qiu's intention in asking this.
It's normal for a child who is about one and a half years old to do this, "Then our family Tiantian will be about to be one and a half years old." ”
Tian Tian stretched out her little hand and wanted to touch Li Mei's face, but her little hand was too short to touch, she was a little anxious, "Lian~Lian." ”
How cute does Tian Tian's little appearance look like, "Sister-in-law, Tian Tian should want to touch your face." ”
"Sister-in-law, Tiantian will let me and Xiuxiu take me to school." Tian Tian is not as good as her own family to bring others, Tian Tian is still so young and wronged, she doesn't know what to say, "There is only one day a week that we have classes in a time period, and at that time, let the teacher in the office watch the point." ”
Li Mei hugged Tian Tian into her arms, Tian Tian stretched out her little finger and gently poked her mother's little face, looking at the face that poked a nest and bounced back, she was very happy, and her mouth made an excited sound of "babbling~babbling~ya~ya".
"This little naughty ghost." Li Mei smiled, today's originally tired and injured heart was healed by this little baby pimple in her arms, "Brother and sister, please and Xiuxiu." ”
"The family doesn't say thank you." Lin Qiu didn't feel that this was a troublesome thing, he loved this little niece, he couldn't bear to let her be bullied by outsiders, and his family would be more attentive to Tiantian. At least a little bit of such a small child is afraid of life, he will feel scared in the arms of strangers, and he will have time to take sweetness with him.
Tian Tian was not very restless in her mother's arms, and put her little lips on her mother's face, "chirp" again and again.
Li Mei gently patted her sweet little buttocks, feigning anger, "This little ghost is salivaing and salivaing my mother's face." But there was a smile in her words, no anger, and Li Mei then yawned heavily.
Li Mei's face was full of tiredness, she was busy all day today, sitting on the bed and thinking about sleeping.
"Sister-in-law, go to sleep, I'll pull the lamp." Li Mei nodded, Lin Qiu lay down in the dark, and felt that Tian Tian was lying between herself and her sister-in-law, Lin Qiu was afraid that she would not sleep well and press the child, so she couldn't sleep at first. She thought that she was about to end her teaching life here, and she also had to think about what kind of restaurant she should open next, Lin Qiu knew that low-end restaurants were more popular after this period of understanding, and she might be able to open a fast food restaurant, so ......
In the end, before she could think about the specific matters clearly, she couldn't resist the heavy drowsiness and fell asleep, it turned out that Lin Qiu's sleeping appearance was okay, at least she didn't suppress the sweetness for the whole night.
