Chapter 50: The Great Honest and the Second Honest
"I'll tell you-", Ah Yuan also became mysterious, and his mouth reached the root of the little guy's ear: "Our family can sell it for two pennies without losing money, shhhh β
Doesn't that mean that every string of sugar gourds sold has a profit of three to four cents? Little Arwen has learned to count, and his eyes widened when he landed, God, then wouldn't we become profiteers?
The little guy picked the remaining sugar gourd into the bamboo basket in a daze, and quickly ran away.
Boss Bai also listened to a half-understood, and finally had a vague understanding of the profitability of his own sugar gourd, no wonder his daughter-in-law was so active when he spent money, no wonder the second child sharpened his head and had to do business, this good guy, a little fooled, is more money than hard work to farm!
An honest farmer has embarked on a road of no return that longs to be a trader, although, he has to look back from time to time.
Xiao Awen ran back with Cailian, the bamboo basket hanging on his arm was empty, and he proudly introduced the battle situation with a little face: "I called my sister first, and sold the rest of the sugar gourds in one go, not three cents, but seven cents and two strings, hehe-hee-hee-hee-".
Does this kid still know how to use the rules of doing business flexibly? Ah Yuan gave a thumbs up and hugged Xiao Cailian again.
"Sister-in-law, eldest brother, third brother, they have already sold all the noodles, ask me to call you, load the car and go home!" Cailian's speech became more and more neat and generous, but, like Xiao Awen, he easily refused to call him a second brother.
The two brothers set up their own stalls for the first time, and their skills were also nondescript, how could they sell so many noodles? Boss Bai was too interested, and hurriedly dragged Xiao Cailian to ask.
"It's not the second brother who thought of it, he took a bowl of hot noodles and stood at the entrance of the market to sell it, please try this, let that smell. It was also sent to the market, and if there were vendors who couldn't run away, they would eat it in front of their faces, and the third brother would be left busy cooking noodles, or would I take care of the dishes and chopsticks! Xiao Cailian's face seemed to be entangled, I don't know whether to praise the unpopular second brother's approach, or must be disdainful, he ran out and shouted, the heavy work has fallen on the third brother he likes!
Ah Yuan smiled and rubbed his forehead. This white second child is a typical "broken pot lid" - I don't know how to "surround it", and offended the family all over again. Those who have done good deeds have also been ostracized.
Little Awen clenched his small fists again, and it was obvious that he chose to support his sister and third brother.
This time, Boss Bai had a clear mind, and praised it with a "tsk": "The second child is really good-." Why didn't I think of this? Daughter-in-law, let's send it to the market tomorrow, hehe, I'll buy a few more bags of noodles-".
You guys want to monopolize the entire market, right? Ah Yuanwei looked at her husband's "beauty point" black head freshly, when will elm also be enlightened?
"That-two-brother said. He told the shopkeeper of the rice noodle shop that our family bought more noodles and it was cheaper. Also, in the future, I won't pull more from home, I will go directly to the shop to move the cloth bag first, and I will settle it in three days." Xiao Cailian reluctantly finished telling the words that had been explained, and took her brother's little hand.
Seemingly. The siblings looked at each other firmly, probably. It is intended to continue to adopt the strategic policy of "hating the same enemy" against Bai Lao Er.
"Oh-", Boss Bai's big mouth was decisively able to stuff a big duck egg, and he didn't have time to close it for a long time.
Did you notice the gap between yourself and that cunning brother?
"That kid, it's a thiefβ"! Boss Bai made up his mind, raised his hand and greeted the three people, pushed up the cart, and rushed to the other end of the market to meet the other two heroes.
The second honest person of the Bai family, Bai Laosan, stood in front of the stall honestly, waiting for the relatives who responded.
What about the profiteer of the Bai family's No. 1 thief - classmate Bai Chengzong?
"The second brother said--some guests said--a big bowl of noodles can't be eaten, two bowls, and you can't eat it, it's a waste! I went to the market and thought about it-", the "two honest" classmates gave a 1510 explanation, and by the way, they stopped Arwen and lifted him up, and the brothers and sons laughed.
What a gap! What a gap!
Ah Yuan and Boss Bai looked at each other, and the couple blamed themselves in their hearts at the same time: "This inner mystery of doing business needs to be excavated by someone with a heart, aren't we too brainless?" β
I often rejoice in my heart that I have the experience of being ahead of others, and Ah Yuan, who is full of ambition, is also ashamed!
"Second child, what did you buy back?" With a respectful gesture that he had never seen before, Boss Bai greeted his second brother who was holding a bamboo basket.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, are you here? I bought another 100 eggs, thinking that I would cook them at home and bring them to sell with the ramen, and now that the weather is cold, it will be no problem to leave them for two days. The tip of Bai Lao's nose was full of beads of sweat, and his original white face was also red and full of spirit.
In the face of such a dedicated "employee", Ah Yuan was ashamed and excited, adding a braised egg or tea egg to the noodle bowl, isn't it the most popular way to eat thousands of years later? Now, it is up to an "old-timer" to mention it, it's really imbecile!
"Second brother has worked hard! Sister-in-law has a way to boil eggs to make them more delicious, tomorrow, let's do it! β
On the way back, the atmosphere was a little quiet.
Several big ones have their own thoughts, they want to try to catch up with their brothers' ways of thinking, and they want to rack their brains to think of more ways to get rich, all of which continue in the "squeak" sound of the ground pulling cart.
The two younger ones were also very silent, and the contents of what they had eaten earlier had been digested, but the older ones were obviously not aware of the problem, and they were all hungry, so they were silent.
Perhaps, the smell of ramen is often smoked, and it can also bluff the stomach, or maybe the heart of Simou is too heavy, today's lunch is still hanging in the air, and the sky is already getting dark.
Walking to a fork in the road, Boss Bai stopped and looked at Ah Yuan: "I have to go to Thirty Litun to get a bath bucket, will you go?" β
"Go, go!" Ah Yuan had already been hurt by the hardwood butt of the car pulling the car, hurriedly waved his hand, and slowly moved off the car, his feet were numb!
"Is Awen Cailian going along?" Ah Yuan stretched out his hand to the two younger siblings.
It's a pity that the two little ones are really hungry, and they all shake their heads like rattles.
Bai Lao Er looked at the ground and said goodbye to everyone: "I'll just turn around here and look for Blacksmith Li." β
A trace of quick joy slipped over the faces of Ah Wen and Cai Lian, and Bai Laosan was left, with the two closest little guys.
The husband and wife walked a few steps and separated from Bai Lao Er again.
Thirty Litun is not larger than the "Confused Array", but the village is very neat and the streets are more spacious.
There are many carpenters in this village, and almost every household can make some furniture by themselves, and in the yard and outside the gate, you can often see dismembered wood and wood shavings.
"The carpenter Yang's barrel hoop is the best, and it is tightly closed and does not leak water-", Boss Bai introduced to his daughter-in-law and walked into a large courtyard.
Sure enough, there were a lot of wooden barrels, large and small, and a thin old man with a goatee was instructing his children and grandchildren or little apprentices to do the work.
It's just that this old man's temper is not very good, and when he saw Ah Yuan, he didn't even say hello, and he ignored it directly when he teased his eyelids.
Even if he bowed down to say hello to Boss Bai, Old Man Yang was indifferent, and only pointed the cigarette bag and pot to the bath barrel in the yard: "Look at it, if you are satisfied, you will pay!" β
What a bullish coax!
The husband and wife walked around the tub and touched it, it was heavy inside and out, and the polishing was smooth, and there would never be any bruising.
A young man came up with half a basin of water, and as soon as he fell down, he ran away "on the ground".
This is to verify if there is a water leak, isn't it?
"Hehe, Yang carpenter's craftsmanship, rest assured-", Boss Bai humbly sent the copper coin, such a tall bath barrel, the price is fifty yuan, it's expensive enough, right? However, let's sell five bowls of ramen, drizzle!
Ah Yuan also thinks it is cheap, in his previous life, handmade wooden barrels like this were sold for hundreds or thousands, and they were not strong, and water seepage and leakage were commonplace.
It's just that this wooden barrel is still too rough and stupid, not to mention the large amount of space, the weight is a big problem, and when lifting and pouring water, how inconvenient!
"Yang-Uncle," Ah Yuan treated such an old man, as if he was embarrassed to call him a "carpenter" and seemed disrespectful.
"Can you make us two more barrels to carry water? I want thin, light wood, and I can carry it. Ah Yuan gestured the size and insisted on getting in front of Old Man Yang's cigarette pouch and pot.
"Huh-", the old man really didn't look at a woman in his eyes, and replied with disdain: "You just want to be light, go and ask whose house doesn't make barrels to be strong and durable?" The light and thin wooden barrel will be broken in a few days, do you want to smash the Yang family's business? β
This old man is in menopause, right? If you say something sarcastic, you can also button your hat indiscriminately!
Ah Yuandeng's back straightened, and he sneered: "Uncle Yang can't make a thin, light and strong wooden barrel, right?" Say it early, I'll find another place to do it! β
Boss Bai stretched out his arms and stopped in front of his daughter-in-law who was like a bullfighting warrior, and he could see clearly that Old Man Yang's dry tobacco pouch pot was about to be lit on Ah Yuan's head!
This old man has been accumulating power for a long time, and the disciples and grandchildren are all frightened, and they all stopped the guy in their hands and looked at this woman who dared to flutter flies on the tiger's head.
"What do you, the woman, know? Around ten miles and eight towns, the big families in the town, who doesn't know that my Yang Qizi's craftsmanship is good? If I say I can't do it, then no one outside him will dare to take this job! The old man's goatee shook and shook, pointing at Ah Yuan and spitting.
"Then you can make two for me to see, just talk and don't practice, that's a fake trick!"
