Chapter Seventy-One: Small Talk, Writing
After standing next to him for a while, he found that he couldn't help, so he didn't delay, carried down the honeycomb coal stove on the tricycle, loaded five empty steamers and left first, and then quickly went to buy a new stove, and went home with a pot, and saw many people holding Ye Baba in their hands along the way.
When she got home, her mother had almost filled the remaining three steamers, "Son, you go out to eat at noon, you can't be busy." ”
Zhang Heng nodded and went up to help, he had to go to work at one o'clock in the afternoon, he had to leave at twelve o'clock, and he couldn't be late, "Okay, by the way, Mom, I just heard from others in the market that the Ye'er Baba in the supermarket is very expensive, and it costs two yuan and five for one." ”
"Hehe, you stupid boy, can the things on the market be compared with the supermarket, the pork in the supermarket is sold for seventeen or eighteen yuan, and the middle row is sold for more than twenty yuan...... Just because the things in the market here are cheap, people from the front city come to buy vegetables, otherwise how many people do you think can come to buy vegetables in Xiner Village. The mother paused and said: "Our Ye Erba, we have to sell it for at least two yuan a piece when we go out of the market, but the shops outside are too expensive, and there are urban management can't set up stalls indiscriminately, so it's safe to do business in the market here, and no one cares." ”
He also saw the price of pork that his mother said when he went to the supermarket just now, and since he didn't understand, he simply asked: "Mom, those pig bosses went to the village to collect fat pigs, and only gave the price of seven yuan and eight cents a catty, didn't they want to make a lot of money?" ”
"Not so much, pork to kill out to shrink a little, like pig neck meat these can't afford to sell the price, just take the mother's shop, the almost meat can only afford to sell eleven or twelve yuan a catty, the better one is only fourteen or fifteen yuan, the pork belly is also fourteen yuan a catty, the ribs are more expensive and sold to sixteen yuan a catty, the pigs in the city outside are small, only a hundred catties of meat are killed, my mother sells a pig in the shop and only earns more than two hundred yuan, usually there are times when the business is not good, and there are fewer people on rainy days, You can earn five or six thousand yuan a month, which is not as good as the vegetable market in the front city, where the rent of a three-square-meter pork stall alone costs more than 2,000 a month, but you can sell several pork heads a day...... "The mother patiently explained.
Zhang Heng became more and more confused the more he listened, but he also understood something, probably the price in the market here is not the normal price in this city, and the main urban area outside is more expensive.
At this time, the mother said: "Our baba is only two or two, the powder accounts for one or two, the water in it accounts for the weight, the powder is only one dime and a half cost, the salt vegetables are made of green vegetables, the green vegetables are planted in our village to feed the pigs, a dime and a pound can not be sold, this bit of salt vegetables is even a little salt money, five cents are not worth it, pepper powder is only a little bit, basically not money, pork is our own, according to the cost, three dollars of meat, it is only two or three cents, if you only use fat meat can be in a less, shave those parts that are not easy to sell." , you can also press the price, and you can't use one side of gas to steam a poop, even if you count two yuan, it will cost one or two cents more to spread it evenly. In general, the cost is about five cents, but if you change to another house, you will have to count the salt and vegetable money, and the cost will be about a dime more, and if you use more lean meat, you will also increase the cost, as well as booth fees, labor costs, these must be included in the cost in the regular store. So, son, we've already made more than half of the money by selling a piece of five, so it's good to be content. ”
Zhang Heng nodded vigorously, he really didn't know much about this, he didn't expect his mother, who had only studied elementary school, to be so powerful, and to calculate the account of a baba so carefully, but he still asked again: "Then I heard that the Ye'er baba in the supermarket is still stuffed with bean paste." ”
"Hehe, the bean paste is more pressing, the beans are the cowpeas in our village, called red beans in the city outside, much more expensive than green vegetables, I am saying that the stall fee in the supermarket is different, and it should be more expensive." Mother explained.
Zhang Heng suddenly realized, no wonder the three baba in the supermarket gave the scale a price of seven yuan two, it turned out that the bean paste was more pressing.
Then he asked some about the price of vegetables, and his mother also explained them one by one, and finally he concluded that it was nothing more than the high wages in the city outside, and the prices were also high, and the prices of vegetables were different in different seasons, maybe they were sold for three yuan the first day, and the next day they rose to four yuan or dropped to two, and the price of pork often fluctuated.
Mother also said that the outside work is not good, out of the market to rent a single room at least five hundred yuan a month, if one of the suites is at least six or seven hundred, this is just an old house, mother also said that the salary of ordinary office workers outside is only two or three thousand yuan a month, in addition to rent, water, electricity, car fare, living expenses, said that the usual consumption or something basically can't save money, Zhang Heng also heard the word "moonlight family" for the first time!
The wages of coolies on the construction site are relatively high, about 140 a day for small workers, and 200 for large workers, but it is impossible for his mother to allow him to work on the construction site, so he just listened, but Zhang Heng felt that it was nothing to work on the construction site, and many of the people who came out of the village to work on the construction site worked on the construction site.
The mother and son chatted while chatting, the job was done, this time five steamers, about nearly three hundred, plus more than three hundred of the previous six steamers, a total of six hundred, the meat filling was basically used up, last night the remaining ten catties of meat were chopped into more stuffing, plus the two catties of barbecue meat he secretly added, the average calculation of a baba is really less than three dollars of meat, according to the cost of pork more than nine yuan a catty, three dollars of meat is really less than three cents, and Ye Erba feels like a lot of meat to eat, The key is that because the stack is finely kneaded into the salted vegetables, it feels like there is more meat.
After steaming, Zhang Heng pulled it to the market with a tricycle, but the remaining steamer was almost gone, and when the time reached eleven o'clock, the crowd who made lunch also came out to buy vegetables.
"The business is really good, I didn't expect to sell the pork to take out, at this rate, the pork can be sold out after noon, and the pork can usually be sold out in the evening." Mother said happily.
Zhang Heng was also happy, in case the business was not good, it would also increase his psychological burden, and he heard his mother say: "Today is the first time, everyone wants to buy something fresh by the way, we have to see how the business is in the future, or it depends on the reaction tomorrow." ”
Zhang Heng nodded, watching his mother and the three of them busy on the side, observing how to buy and sell, how to talk, and how to receive, but after a while, he was urged by his mother to go on the road, asking him to quickly find a place to eat, and then go to work, don't be late for the first day.
When Zhang Heng walked on the road, he couldn't tell whether the idea of going to work now was right or wrong, and finally shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa said that when you are young, you have to work more, and you can enjoy it when you are old, and you must first bitter and then sweet!" ”
He is a young man, is he still afraid of working five hours a day, even if he has money now, the villagers' surplus grain can be eaten for three years, and the next year is not the same to plant rice, make up his mind, he must learn more things at work during this time, if he can meet friends and teach him to surf the Internet, it would be the best.
――――――――――――――
Wu stopped this day, and the sweet potatoes were planted again, and the land that the king burned was also planted with sweet potatoes, and the cliffs in the cave were painted with patterns, and a large number of stone slabs were piled up, many of which were painted kings, and he wanted to spread the glory of the king.
The witch stopped and looked at the salt bag for a while, and there were patterns on it, and there were small squares like this, which were very beautiful, and this was something on the sun, and the king had also drawn this kind of small squares......
After dozens of suns, Wu woke up from his contemplation, drew the first square on the stone tablet, and roared, "King! ”
I saw that the lines on the stone slab were also very messy, but the shape of a square was constructed, and a human figure was vaguely carved......
ps: After mentioning an additional sentence, about prices, I basically wrote according to the reality, but the price difference between places must be very large, don't worry too much about it, thank you!
