Chapter 004: Making Money
Ye Kongcia got fifty catties of peanuts and went home, and it was already evening at this time, and Zhu Dahui and others also came back from the town.
Yan Ying was cooking, and Ye Kongcian went to the kitchen to help her.
Yan Ying looked outside and asked softly, "Little Cicada, it's done." ”
"It's done, I took two catties for Grandma Ye San to eat, and she also said that it was delicious, and business would definitely be prosperous tomorrow." Ye Kong Cicada smiled and nodded.
"Then tomorrow we'll get up early and get a good spot in town." Yan Ying said with a smile.
"Mom, I'll just go by myself tomorrow, you stay at home, I'll go and earn the money back by myself, grandma she should have nothing to say." Ye Kongcian didn't want her mother to work too hard, since there was no way to do things at home, she didn't need her mother to worry about things outside.
Yan Ying was not at ease, but she couldn't say anything about Ye Kongcia at all, she found that her daughter had become stronger since she fainted once.
After the meal, Yan Ying brought the ten yuan loose money she secretly hid to Ye Kongciao, and she will find money for tomorrow.
Ye Kong Cicada was originally worried that she would not have enough change to find guests, but with these Ye Kong Cicada's gifts, she could be completely relieved.
The next day, she got up early, had some breakfast, avoided the Ye family's people and went out, going to Ye San's grandmother's house, but seeing Ye San's grandmother preparing to go out, she asked, "Third grandma, are you going out too?" ”
"I'm going to the town to buy some things, come with you, hurry up, it's early, or the sun will be hot when it comes out." Grandma Ye San said with a smile.
Ye Kong Cicada responded, borrowed the name of Ye San's grandmother's family, and borrowed a small basket to pack the peanuts, and covered it with a bamboo cover, Ye Kong Cicada picked it, and the two walked to the town.
The village and the town are not far away, plus rest, it can be reached in more than an hour, and there are cars on this road, but most of them do not take a ride in order to save money.
Today happened to be the day of the market place, and the town was even more lively, and Ye Kong Cicada quickly found a place and put the basket on the ground.
"Third grandma, I can sell it here, you can go shopping." Ye Kong Cicada Road.
"Don't worry, I'll stay with you here for a while, and I'll go shopping later." Grandma Ye San said with a smile.
Ye Kongcian knew that Grandma Ye San was not worried about herself, so she didn't say anything, turned over the bamboo cover, put peanuts on it, and shouted, "Fragrant and crispy fried peanuts, try them for free, don't buy them if they don't taste good." ”
As soon as I heard that I could try it for free, some people were immediately interested, and some people tried it one after another, thinking it was delicious, and after asking the price, some people would buy it for a pound or two.
Grandma Ye San saw that Ye Kong Cicada could sell it, so she also went shopping, and when she came back at noon, Ye Kong Cicada's peanuts had already been bought.
"Little Cicada, you've run out of peanuts." Grandma Ye San said in surprise.
"I'm done." Ye Kongcian said with a smile, this peanut is not only delicious, but also has less processed food in this era, and she feels that it is a little fresh, and this business is better than she expected.
"That's good, I'm hungry, I bought a few buns, eat them quickly, and we'll go back after eating." Grandma Ye San said with a smile.
Ye Kongcia was also hungry, so he took it, and the old and the young found a stone to sit on the side of the road, and after eating, Ye Kongcia looked at Grandma Ye San's basket a few times, and asked Grandma Ye San to wait here, so she went to buy a pound of pork for two yuan.
It's noon now, the sun is big, and Grandma Ye San is also old, so she can't go back, so she goes back by car, and as soon as Ye Kongcia gets in the car, she gives a total of four cents for the fares of the two, so as not to rush to give it to Grandma Ye San.
When she arrived at Grandma Ye San's house, Ye Kongcia was very thirsty, so she went to the kitchen and poured two bowls of water, she drank one bowl, and also brought a bowl to Grandma Ye San.
Grandma Ye San took the water and said with a smile: "Little Cicada, I still have a hundred catties of peanuts here, you can also fry them, I can't help you with your tuition, that's all there is to it." ”
Grandma Ye San's own economic situation was also not good, and later after Ye San's grandmother's son Ye Chenggao went to work as a construction worker, the family's situation was improved, but Ye San's grandfather was seriously ill before his death, and in order to treat the disease, the family was in strict debt, and he has not paid it off until now.
"Well, thank you Third Grandma, then I'll give you a dime and a pound, but I won't be able to give you the peanut money until a day or two." Ye Kong Cicada smiled.
Now the peanuts purchased are basically more than a dime.
"You kid, this is given to you by the third grandmother, you don't need to give money." Grandma Ye San was busy.
"That's not good, I can make money with these peanuts, how can I make you lose, no matter how I say it, otherwise I don't want this peanuts, I will go to other people in the village to buy them, and I will buy them for a dime." Ye Kong Cicada said busily.
Grandma Ye San said a few times, but Ye Kongcia didn't change her original intention, she had to say: "Then you can give me a few dollars at will, and I'll be angry if I say more, you are the one I grew up seeing since I was a child, and I will be happy that this peanut can help you a little." ”
Ye Kongcia had no choice but to respond, took out the pork he bought before from the basket, and said with a smile: "Third grandma, there are catties of pork here, you cook it and eat it at night." She just saw that Grandma Ye San didn't buy meat, so she went to buy a catty.
"Little Cicada, what are you doing here? It's hard for you to make some money, why don't you buy meat for me, and you take it back. Grandma Ye San said busily.
"Third grandma, I can make some money selling peanuts, you can also see it, I will continue to use your kitchen in the future, if you don't take this bit of meat, I will be embarrassed to use it again in the future." Ye Kongcian said, she has to use the third grandmother's kitchen these days, and she knows that she definitely doesn't want to give money to the third grandmother, so she can only give something.
"Alas, you kid, that Zhu Dahui is really blind, such a good granddaughter can't be cherished." Grandma Ye said helplessly, but still took the pork, and said with a smile: "Third grandma is going to cook it, you eat it and then go back." ”
"Okay, I'll cook it, I have to fry these peanuts anyway, and I'll continue to sell them tomorrow." Ye Kong Cicada smiled.
Grandma Ye San didn't earn anything with Ye Kongcicada, so she went to move the peanut out.
Ye Kong Cicada fried more than 100 catties of peanuts, and it was already hazy at night.
When he got home, Ye Kongcian ran into Zhu Dahui, and Zhu Dahui scolded: "I'm so old and I still go to play every day, and I don't know how to do something." ”
Ye Kongcian didn't say much to Zhu Dahui, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother." ”
With that, she walked into the kitchen.
Yan Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Kong Cicada coming in, and said, "Little Cicada, why did you come back so late?" ”
"The peanuts were bought at noon, I came back a long time ago, and I fried the 100 catties of peanuts at the third grandmother's house, and I will continue to sell them tomorrow." Ye Kong Cicada smiled.
Yan Ying was surprised, and then hurriedly said, "You can't take your third grandmother's peanuts for nothing." ”
"Don't worry, we will have to use the kitchen of the third grandmother in the future, I bought meat for the third grandmother, and the 100 catties of peanuts will be sold to the third grandmother tomorrow." Ye Kong Cicada Road.
Yan Ying smiled and asked, "How much money did you make?" ”
"I sell three cents a pound, I estimate, in addition to the capital, I can also earn six or seven yuan." Ye Kong Cicada smiled.
"So much, it's two days' salary." Yan Ying said in surprise.
Ye Kong Cicada nodded.
"Then I'll look for peanuts again, and we'll sell peanuts in the future." Yan Ying said with a smile.
Ye Kongcian nodded, thoughtfully, this peanut can't be sold for long, she is selling it now, one is delicious, no one sells this now, someone will follow suit in a few days, even if she doesn't do it well, it will have an impact, it seems that she has to think of another idea.
She didn't tell Yan Ying about this, so as not to worry her.
The second time Ye Kong Cicada went to the town alone, this time the peanuts were 100 catties, she naturally had to take a ride, to the town, as soon as she put it out, someone came forward to buy it, and then some of them were yesterday's old customers, and they could ask for a few catties and ten catties at once, and the customers bought more, Ye Kong Cicada was a few cents cheaper, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she also bought it.
She didn't waste time and hurriedly went home.
Back in the village, Ye Kongcian went to Ye San's grandmother's house first, Ye San's grandmother saw Ye Kongcia and hurriedly asked, "Little Cicada, it's all sold out." ”
"yes!" Ye Kongcian smiled happily, "I still made a lot of money today, and soon I will have tuition." ”
"That's good, the little cicada is so capable, your mother just brought a hundred catties of peanuts and put them in the kitchen." Grandma Ye San said with a smile.
Ye Kongcian took out the bag containing the money and said with a smile: "Third grandma, I'll give you the peanut money." ”
"Don't worry, it's not too late for me to pay me enough tuition, I don't lack that money." Grandma Ye San said.
"Third grandma, don't worry, my tuition will definitely be able to, you can take the money." Ye Kongcia stuffed fifteen yuan into Ye San's grandmother's hand.
Grandma Ye San looked at the money in her hand, and hurriedly said, "Little Cicada, why did you give me so much money, you can take it back quickly." ”
In the end, Ye Kongcian was very persistent, and Grandma Ye San had no choice but to accept the money, thinking secretly: "Such a well-behaved and sensible child, why is it not his granddaughter." ”
For tomorrow's business, Ye Kongcia hurriedly went to fry peanuts, because there was not enough time, she stayed at Ye San's grandmother's house to eat, and then continued to fry, not long after, Yan Ying made dinner and didn't see Ye Kongcia come back, so she found it.
The mother and daughter made the peanuts together before going home together.
