Chapter 34 Doing Business
Liu Yue saw that her mother was worried, and naturally asked, "Mother, do you look down on Second Brother Li?" Zhang smiled bitterly: "Why can't you look down on it?" My mother was also afraid that she would not be able to get married, but she broke off the relationship between the two families, and my mother didn't know what you Aunt Li meant? Suddenly brought it up like this, Aunt Li would have responded in order to take care of the face and affection of the two families, but the mother felt that she couldn't do such a marriage. It is Fang'er who will live in the future, and the twisted melon is not sweet. ”
Liu Yue really served the Zhang family, but if she wasn't reborn, she might think the same as the Zhang family! This marriage since ancient times is for the sake of marrying two surnames, and if you forcibly marry, it will harm the two of you. It seems that my mother is really for the good of my sister from the bottom of her heart, but I am afraid that my sister will be unhappy in the future, Liu Yue suddenly snuggled in Zhang's arms: "Don't worry, mother!" Yue'er thinks this can definitely be done, just wait and see! ”
Zhang hugged his daughter and sighed: "Mother also hopes that this is the case, but no matter what, we should take Fang'er's happiness as the premise, and when our Yue'er gets married, my mother will have to choose carefully, and she must find a perfect one for Yue'er." ”
Liu Yue didn't expect that she had reached the age where she could make fun of her mother's affairs, and it had been several years since she was reborn in a blink of an eye, but she didn't let her family live a rich life, Liu Yue felt strange in her heart. Now I have to think of ways to make my family have a better livelihood, and this chicken and pig raising can't provide Liu Chenglai. In the future, it will cost more to go to school in the city, and I will have to prepare for the annual examination fee, so I have to take silver.
Liu Yue couldn't sleep at night, desperately thinking of ways to make money, but the feasibility of everything was too low. In my previous life, I heard people say that if you want to make a lot of money, you have to do business, and only by doing business can you make money. But I have never done business, and my family doesn't have much capital, even if I have capital, my father and mother will not give the money to an eight or nine-year-old girl! So you have to start a small business, but you can get your money back immediately, so you don't have to take any risks, but you can really earn back your money.
It just so happens that tomorrow is the day to sell eggs, and the family goes to the city to sell eggs every two days, and the Zhang family will follow in the past, but now this matter falls on the two sisters, so Liu Yue feels that every time she goes to the city in the future, she needs to pay more attention to herself, see more and inquire more, so that she can come up with a way.
At dawn the next day, Liu Yue's chickens all crowed, and it was really noisy to say that so many chickens crowed together, but after so many years of getting used to it, I felt that it didn't matter. Liu Cheng got up as soon as he heard the rooster crow on the first morning, and he never went to the village school late. Liu Cheng likes the chickens raised at home, and sometimes when he is tired of endorsing, he will tease the chickens.
Zhang and Liu Zhu got up and got busy, Zhang had to make the family's breakfast first, and Liu Zhu had to go to the backyard to pick the well-grown green beans, and then load them and take them to the car, and let the two sisters sell them when they entered the city. Now the weather is hot, not to mention how good the vegetables in the field are, and the next day I will pick several baskets and take them to the city to sell. Last year, Zhang advocated buying a cow so that he could take his own ox cart to sell vegetables in the city in the future. Moreover, when the farm is busy, it can be rented to the people in the village, and the cost is not a loss.
There were few people in the village who could have cows, so Liu Yue was very happy at that time, and went to feed the cattle with grass and water every day. The two sisters carefully packed the eggs they had saved in the past two days and put them in an ox cart to sell in the city. Zhang's breakfast was also made early, and the family ate breakfast in the courtyard, which was still home-grown at home, and there was no meat and fish, but it was exceptionally fragrant.
Liu Zhu put away several large baskets of things, and drove the ox cart to do the work, and Liu Yue and Liu Fang stayed on the pile to sell vegetables. Because they have been selling vegetables for a few years, they also have a lot of regular customers, so as soon as Liu Fang and Liu Yue came, they immediately surrounded a lot of people. The two of them were very busy, but their faces were full of smiles, who is not happy about this business? When there were few people at noon, Liu Yue and Liu Fang took out the cakes they brought at home and started eating, and the two of them felt very comfortable eating the cakes with cold water. Liu Yue ate the cake with her eyes sweeping the pile of needlework and headdress on the side, Liu Fang smiled: "Sister, do you want to buy something?" Don't worry, sister is watching here, business is good today, you buy some small things and my mother won't say anything. ”
Liu Yue shook her head: "No, sister, what don't I want to buy?" Are you thinking that many people in the village only come to the city once a month, or only once every few months, and you say that we should buy more needles and threads and headdresses, and some daily necessities to go back, and no one will ask for them to sell them in the village?
Liu Fang looked at Liu Yue incredulously: "No, sister, it's not that you don't know that there are also merchants in the village, if you can't sell it if you buy it back like this, my mother will definitely scold us." ”
Liu Yue furrowed her brows: "The merchant doesn't go often, and he sells it very expensively, so everyone doesn't look for the merchant to buy things." Like salt and soy sauce and rice vinegar, the merchant doesn't sell them at all. Let's buy more of these and sell them in the village, and it will definitely work. Do you believe me? ”
Liu Fang still disagrees, to say that this Liu Yue is paying more attention, but Liu Fang just feels that it is not very reliable. Liu Yue didn't care whether her sister agreed or not, and directly talked to a few familiar bosses on the side. Usually Liu Yue is a person who loves to talk and laugh, and she is also quick to do things, and sometimes the leftover vegetables will be given to the boss who is piling up on the side to eat. So everyone likes the sisters very much, and both sisters have been selling vegetables here for four or five years, so they have some trust and affection.
Liu Yue has been gone for several hours, fortunately, business is not good in the afternoon, otherwise Liu Fang will definitely not be busy, Liu Fang will be worried, her sister should not come really! As a result, when Liu Yue came back, she carried several bags of things, and Liu Fang said anxiously: "Sister, you buy so much, and when you can't sell it, your mother won't scold you to death, why don't you hear about it?" Liu Yue smiled mischievously: "Good sister, I have told others, I will give money after I sell it, and if I can't sell it, I will return it, and besides, I haven't given a penny now!" Go and get Daddy's ox cart over, let's hurry up and put the things in the village for transport!" When we start selling it in the village, we will definitely be able to earn money. ”
Liu Fang finally relieved herself when she heard Liu Yue say this, and saw that Liu Yue would definitely not be able to take it back without an ox cart carrying a few bags, so she hurriedly went to find Liu Zhu without thinking too much. When the two sisters loaded all the things into the car, Liu Fang was stunned: "Aren't there only a few bags?" What's in these big jars? What do you let my sister say about you, you want to come out of everything, how can you live in the future. Mother knows that she must scold you well, if you don't believe it, just wait and see! ”
Liu Yue still smiled indifferently: "Sister, don't worry about it anymore, let's catch the car, if I really want to talk to you first, and when you agree with your mother, this thing will definitely not be done." Sister does things alone, my mother scolds me if she wants to scold, and besides, I mixed up this matter, so don't take credit from me. ”
Liu Fang will really convince her sister, and she can still say cool things at this time, but if her mother really wants to scold herself, she is also responsible, and if she doesn't take care of her sister, it is impossible for her sister to bear it all. If she had stopped it earlier, there would have been no such thing, so Liu Fang secretly made up her mind that her mother really wanted to scold herself and protect her sister.
When the ox cart arrived at the head of the village, it was the time when the villagers came back from the field, so everyone saw all kinds of things on the ox cart of Liu Yue's family, so they all gathered around to watch. There have never been stalls like this in this village, and there are so many varieties of goods, so the big guys are all around. Liu Yue saw that the villagers were attracted over, so she shouted loudly, and Liu Fang helplessly looked at the villagers and laughed. Don't mention how nervous I am, but fortunately, in the past few years, the vegetables and eggs at home have been sold by the two sisters in the city, so I am not too afraid.
Slowly, some people came up to ask the price, and when they knew that it was much cheaper than the merchant's sale, and there were so many varieties, some women began to choose things, from a small needle to a piece of flower cloth, and everyone was very happy to choose. It's the first time I've set up a stall in the village, and it's not expensive and has a lot of variety. Now I am busy wanting to go to the city again, just to buy these needle cloth or something, and it seems that it is not cost-effective, it just so happens that the price here is fair, and it is a village, and I am not afraid of buying bad things, so the girls and daughters-in-law are busy choosing what they want to buy.
Some people also muttered in a low voice, these two sisters of the Liu family are really capable, they dare to buy so many goods back, what can they do if they can't sell them? It is not easy for people in the village to make money, so they are particularly distressed about things, and even more distressed about silver.
Liu Yue saw that her sister could take care of these groceries, so she thought of her precious jars, and immediately opened the jars one by one, and the incense floated out. Liu Yue was generous and talked about how his wine was good, and many people were moved, but they didn't believe it. This wine must make people believe that your wine is delicious, otherwise even people who love wine will not want to buy it, because buying bad wine will not only make it difficult to drink, but also hurt the body.
But the profit of wine is bigger than those small needles and threads, so Liu Yue is most optimistic about these jars of wine. The old man who sells wine is very good, when Liu Yue goes to the city to sell vegetables, he often gives some poor dishes to the old man to eat, and the old man does not dislike it and happily accepts it. The old man has been selling alcohol for many years, and most of them are also some countrymen who drink here. The rich people must have gone to the winery to buy wine, so the old man's business is just average, but the old man is full of repeat customers, and everyone says that the wine is delicious, and the price is fair, and the poor can drink it if they want to.
When the old man heard that Liu Yue wanted to bring a few jars of wine to the village to sell, he directly gave several jars to Liu Yue, and said that he would give money when he sold the price. This made Liu Yue very happy, and immediately asked for four jars of wine, even if it couldn't be sold, it could be put away, and when the village wanted to drink, it would be good to go to the house to drink. Wine is also better and better, and you don't have to worry about it going bad, so it doesn't matter if you take some more back to the village.
