Chapter 61: Making Money
Lin Jia also jumped out of the car. Help us move things.
I was pleasantly surprised: "The tricycle has been taken?" β
"It's not! This one my brother bought yesterday! β
Lin Pengfei said with a smile: "I thought that you can't always borrow other people's cars to do this kind of business, so I went around before going to work, and I happened to meet a tricycle seller." I bought it. Oh, and there's another scale! He shook an old iron scale as he spoke.
He thought of what I didn't expect, and hurriedly went to get the money: "How much does this cost, it's very expensive, I can only give it to you in batches!" β
Lin Pengfei pressed one hand on my hand: "You're welcome!" This is my buddy's family, and I didn't give any money. When you make money, just give it a little bit. If you're embarrassed, wait until you're rich and give me the same. What's more, my sister is also partnered with you, she can't do any work, and she has been making you work hard! β
Lin Jia also smiled: "It's not! The pickles and tortillas are all yours, and the wood is also yours, so I can't do nothing, right? Otherwise, I'm embarrassed to cooperate with you. β
I had no choice but to agree, and a few of us put things on the tricycle together, and my mother wanted to go with me. I stopped it.
"Mom, you'll be at home, the pickles will be sold out sooner or later, the cabbage and radish at home are ready-made, you can help me pickle a little pickle!"
"That'll do fine." Mom smiled and nodded.
When we got to the street outside the park, it was not as busy as the street after it, but there were quite a few stalls, and we found an open space, which we swept with a broom, and then set it up in the same way.
Seeing that it was indeed like this, Lin Jiacai and I shouted in unison.
"Freshly cooked porridge, tortillas, and all kinds of pickles!"
Lin Jia's porridge is very good, and the pickles are placed on the counter, which looks very good, especially the pickles and mustard mixed with chili peppers, the red color looks appetizing.
It doesn't take long for there to be customers shΓ ng mΓ©n. Although it is a few cents to earn, it is still very fulfilling. The tortillas are packed in paper and set aside in a small plastic bag for as you buy them.
The color of the golden huÑng sè, the bottom is a little burnt, the fragrance is very full, three cents a piece, and it sells quickly.
And those who would eat here took porridge and bought bread, and sat down on the tables and chairs. I'll serve a plate of pickles. They all eat deliciously.
Lin Pengfei helped us take care of the business and collect money.
At seven or eight o'clock, there were tax collectors, and in those days there was a tax to pay for selling vegetables. At first, it was two cents, and then it became five cents, and it was not until three years later that the income was canceled, and I hurriedly took the money.
Lin Jia was still a little unhappy. I smiled and persuaded a few words: "This is the rule, and I don't take you alone." β
The tax collector was two people, both twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in zhì fú. The woman is a little fat, the man is very energetic, his eyes are sharp, but he seems to be a little absent-minded.
Lin Jia handed over two cents, but was pushed away by the woman: "Four cents!" Porridge and bread are counted as two people. β
I was also stunned: "The two of us are in the same group, why do we charge more?" β
"You occupy such a large space, you should take two portions, hurry up!" The woman said and pulled out two tickets.
If you collect four cents on the first day, it's four yuan in ten days, why do we pay more, I'm also a little unhappy, and other people's stalls haven't seen her charge more. Could it be that we are new to the good bully?
Originally, Lin Jia was unwilling, but when she heard that she wanted two copies, her eyes suddenly widened: "The pots and pans on the opposite side are bigger than our place, why do you let us pay two copies!" β
"If you want to hand it over, you can hand it over! So many things? The woman's eyes widened at the boss very arrogantly.
Lin Jia was immediately angry. I grabbed Lin Jia's wrist and said to the woman with a smile: "We admit the money, but we have to figure it out, is there any basis for you to overcharge us?" β
"On what basis?" Lin Jia sneered: "I heard, they have tasks all day, can they do it if they can't collect it?" Catch a bullying who is a good bully! β
The woman's face changed: "What nonsense? Do you want to set up a stall? Let you hand it over! Watch out for me knocking you up! β
I said calmly: "I don't pay more than I should pay, I don't pay more than I should pay, you are for the people, not a bully, why did you set up other people's stalls for no reason?" I'm sure you can't do that. β
The woman was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "A hillbilly, quite able to speak." β
I sneered: "I am from the village and have no quality, and I am not as good as you city people, but I also know that everyone is equal, and we pay taxes to support you." You should be careful when you speak, or I will go to your leader. β
"Are you looking for it, am I afraid of you?"
Lin Pengfei came over from behind and said coldly: "Don't worry, I'll see her smash one?" β
The woman was obviously frightened by Lin Pengfei's momentum and remained silent.
The man on one side said, "Let's pay for it." It's not right for you to do that. β
The woman's face turned red: "Zhang Lei, what's the matter with you?" Why do you speak for them? Elbow out! β
The man didn't answer her question and tore up a ticket and gave it to us. Lin Jia hurriedly gave two cents: "It's still this comrade who is reasonable." β
The woman is still nagging: "Zhang Lei! You made it clear, did you mean to oppose me! β
Zhang Lei didn't take care of her at all and left on his own.
Lin Jia pouted: "Who is it?" Menopause is early, right? β
I couldn't help but smile: "Okay, let's get to work." β
Lin Jia said: "I thought you would fight with her just now, it seems that I don't think I'm going to blow up all the time." β
I smiled: "Who wants to fight with others like a hedgehog every day?" β
There are more and more people, and I asked Lin Pengfei to help me serve and sell porridge.
I specialize in making pickles and cleaning up the dishes, and when we came, we brought a bucket with us, and Lin Jia was responsible for cleaning the dishes used by diners in the back.
At first, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell it, but before noon, the cakes and porridge were sold out, and when we were about to close the stall and leave, someone came over and asked how the spicy cabbage was sold.
Lin Jia is very happy, there are still people who buy pickles alone?
I laughed and said, "Eight cents a pound." β
"Ahh It's so expensive! The man frowned and said, "This cabbage can't be sold for a dime!" What a profiteer. β
I wasn't angry, and said with a smile: "Our spicy cabbage is a special method, which I learned from North Korea Tun, and it takes many days to make it, and it is not too salty." It also has a lot of fruit in it, and you are satisfied with this taste, and you can eat without stir-frying. It's easy to eat, don't you have to put meat in fried cabbage? β
The man gritted his teeth and thought for a long time to ask for a piece, nearly a pound of weight, and bought a large piece of radish pickles. Gave me a dollar. I saw that some people bought it, and other people also sold it, my mother's pickled sugar garlic is good, and the color is crystal clear and delicious at first glance. In addition, garlic eggplant and boiled peanuts are also sold in large quantities.
When I saw that the pickles were selling well, I remembered that my uncle's family had eaten our pickles for many years, and I was very itchy.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Our day's business is over.
I saw that there were still two tofu sold by the tofu seller, so I asked the other party to buy them for two cents cheaper.
Lin Pengfei was curious: "Why are you buying so much?" We're not going to finish eating so much, right? β
"I'm going to fry tofu puffs." I laughed and said, "It's going to be too oily anyway, so I want to fry some more meatballs and noodles and sell them over there." β
Lin Pengfei smiled and nodded: "You are really good at business." β
Lin Jia walked over and slapped her shoulder: "I'm going to be tired this morning." Much more tired than before in the snack bar! β
"I don't have to wash the dishes tomorrow. Let's buy more plastic bags and put them on the bowl, which doesn't have to work hard and saves water. β
"Great idea!" Lin Jia smiled: "I'm starving to death Nizi." I didn't eat in the morning. I thought that there would be a little left of the porridge, but who knew it would sell so well. β
"Then come home with me, I'll cook and come out." My mom laughed.
Everyone packed up their things and carried them into the car, Lin Pengfei rode a tricycle, and we sat in the back, chatting and chatting. We have earned a total of nearly 60 yuan this morning, and the cost of going out and the money to buy raw materials tomorrow, the three of us can share 15 yuan each.
Lin Pengfei didn't want it, he said with a smile: "I didn't come here to make money, I just wanted to help, if you give me money, what will happen to me?" You really don't have to bother, you can use the money to buy some good ingredients and cook some good dishes so that you can earn more. β
I smiled and said, "I really want to make jellyfish skin, marinated meat or something, but that can't delay you, you have to go to work with us in the afternoon this day, how hard it is, if you don't take it, I won't dare to use you again." β
Lin Pengfei had no choice but to accept it.
Lin Jia counted the money and said in surprise: "Why is this business so good!" It's been ten days longer than we did in a restaurant. β
I smiled and said, "Let's do more tomorrow at a small cost." If I make money, I want to buy some herring. Our previous owner's fish did well, and I want to buy it back and improve it, and the taste will definitely be better. Now is not the time to save money, expand your business. I think in the summer, let's sell cold noodles and cold skin! β
"Nizi really has business acumen, just follow you!"
When we went back, I saw that Mother Lin had also come to my house, and my mother and I were talking and laughing while picking garlic, and we were talking very speculatively. Garlic is used in most of our cooking, and they pick up a lot of it.
When she saw us coming back, my mother smiled and said, "Nizi is here?" Eat dumplings and celery meat at noon, wrap them all and wait until they are in the pot! β
Lin Jia jumped up first: "Eat dumplings, it's so good!" β
People like us can eat some dumplings during the Chinese New Year, so we are very happy.
