Chapter 5

Zhang Cuilian said that she was going out to wholesale things to sell, but she didn't know what to sell. After thinking about it for most of the night, I finally came up with a good way. She has to take advantage of the current favorable terrain to make more money.

There are a lot of cars passing by, and all she can think of is selling water, bread, sausages, and the like. Passing drivers can eat, and she doesn't need too much cost.

Early in the morning, Zhang Cuilian took a car to the city and bought two incubators to go home. It's the kind of foam box that keeps things warm by putting things inside.

Zhang's mother looked at the things prepared by Zhang Cuilian coldly, and she pouted and didn't stop her. There is only one requirement, and that is to prepare two meals at home.

The Zhang family has always eaten two meals in the summer, the one in the morning at nine o'clock in the afternoon and three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Cuilian bought ten catties of noodles, and went to the purchasing station to buy a piece of meat to go home.

At this time, although food stamps and meat stamps are still needed at this time, they are not so strict. There will always be some acquaintances' prices, like they have a buying station here. Chickens, ducks, fish, and pork will be delivered, some people come to buy them, and some people come to sell them.

Pork is 7 cents a pound, and white flour is 4 cents a pound. Two catties of pork cost a piece of four, and ten catties of noodles cost four cents. With the addition of two foam boxes, Zhang Cuilian spent half of the money she earned.

dragged a handful of green onions from the yard, cut a bundle of leeks, and took out the duck eggs that Zhang's mother was reluctant to eat. Zhang Cuilian began to steam steamed buns, two pots of leeks and duck eggs, and two pots of pork and green onions. The fragrant Zhang Guangfu father and son drooled, only Zhang's mother was always angry, she used her own salt, green onions and leeks.

Zhang Guangfu smiled: "Don't you have to eat your daughter's meat buns, it's all the same, it's all the same!" ”

Zhang Cuilian didn't really hate her parents so much in her heart, she really got angry for these two unobtrusive parents. Why don't you know how to make money?

When the buns came out of the pot, she picked up a plate and put it on the dining table: "This is the food I cooked, you can eat it first." I'm going to sell steamed buns! ”

Then spread a clean drawer cloth in the foam box and put in the leek buns and meat buns. Zhang Guangfu saw that his daughter couldn't move at all, so he helped put the box on the bicycle while biting the bun.

The father and daughter pushed their bicycles to the side of the road, and when they arrived, they moved the boxes to the shade of a tree. Zhang Cuilian tore off a paper shell from a large cardboard box and wrote "Buns, tea, and pickles!" in a big letter! ”

That's right, there are two large kettles hanging from the handlebars, and there are boiled cold boiled water in them. Washed cucumbers and green onions, coriander dipped in soybean sauce, rolled dried tofu skin, and put in a plastic bag, not to mention more appetite.

It's noon, and the weather is hot and drowsy. Zhang Guangfu wondered if his daughter could sell these two boxes of buns.

After a while, a driver driving a large liberation truck stopped, did not get out of the car, but sat on the car and shouted below: "How much money is a bun?" What's stuffing? ”

Zhang Cuilian hurriedly took out the curtain prepared in advance, on which were a few meat buns, a few leek buns and two tofu rolls. said with a smile: "Leek duck egg buns cost five cents and two, and pork and green onions cost eight cents and five cents each." Dried tofu rolls with green onions are five or two points, and if you buy ten meat buns and get two cucumbers! I don't have a lot of meat buns, you can think about it, after this village, there will be no such shop! ”

Ten meat buns are seven cents and five cents, which is still quite expensive. The driver thought for a while and said with a smile: "Two cucumbers are too little, you give me five cucumbers!" ”

Zhang Cuilian smiled and shook her head: "That's not good, cucumbers are also money." Or I'll give you three and give you a pot of cold boiled water! ”

The driver nodded, got out of the car and followed Zhang Cuilian to the shade of the tree. I took a meat bun and ate it first, and when I bit into it, the meat filling inside was very large. I didn't use any seasoning, and I gulped down five buns. I ate three cucumbers by the way, and then patted my stomach and paid satisfied. took the remaining five buns and a large teacup of Liangbai, got in the car and left.

Zhang Guangfu glared at the money his daughter had just collected: "The buns are sold for seven cents and five, and it is suitable to give away cucumbers for free!" ”

Zhang Cuilian turned her head and smiled: "Dad, this is just opened." Let's make a good fortune, meat buns are not profitable. Leeks and duck eggs make money, and these are not spent on money. How expensive meat is! ”

yes, how expensive meat is. There were not a few steamed meat buns, and most of them were leek duck eggs. Before three o'clock, Zhang Cuilian had already sold out of steamed buns. Look at the sky, you can steam some more tomorrow.

The father and daughter pushed the cart home, and Zhang's mother asked anxiously, "It's all sold out?" ”

Zhang Guangfu nodded proudly: "That's not, it's not enough to sell!" ”

Zhang's mother rummaged through the two foam boxes in disbelief, and sure enough, there was no bun left. She said happily: "This is great, tomorrow Cuilian will be steamed more!" ”

Zhang Cuilian put the money she earned today on the dinner table in front of her parents. One by one, they began to count the money: "Forty meat buns, eighty vegetable buns." Removing the twenty steamed buns for the family, that is, thirty meat buns and seventy vegetable buns. It was sold for a total of four bucks! ”

Zhang Cuilian handed the money for the dried tofu rolls and green onions to Zhang's mother: "This is the money for the dried tofu rolls and green onions, twenty of them for a total of three cents!" ”

Zhang's mother stared at the more than two yuan in Zhang Cuilian's hand, and said angrily: "You won't give money if you take my duck eggs and leeks?" ”

Zhang Cuilian covered her money and said angrily: "You also ate my twenty steamed buns, ten meat buns are seven cents and five cents, and ten vegetable buns are two cents and five cents." It adds up to one dollar, and you say I don't care if you want it or not! ”

Zhang's mother glared: "Little rabbit, I'm your own mother." ”

Zhang Cuilian also glared: "I am your daughter!" ”

"You still use my firewood, my salty salt, and my kettle!" Zhang's mother gritted her teeth with hatred, and when she saw Zhang Cuilian's sad face, she couldn't help but turn her head and divert the topic: "Don't give us your broken buns in the future, this guy will spend a dollar on one meal of steamed buns." The days are gone! ”

In the evening, without waiting for Zhang Cuilian to take the initiative, Zhang's mother came back with a hundred catties of white noodles. She entered Zhang Cuilian's house and followed her to calculate: "Let's make the noodles at night, and sell a day's worth of buns during the day." I didn't expect that now people have paid for dried tofu rolls and green onions! ”

Zhang Cuilian looked at her mother, who was still very young, her hair did not grow silver threads, and she did not become hysterical because of her younger brother's competition. In the end, it is still the people who gave birth to themselves, if you can, why not try to change them!

"Ducks lay eggs every day, about twenty a day. The green onions, leeks and cucumbers in the field are all growing one after another! Zhang Cuilian crossed her fingers to settle accounts with her mother: "We must be honest in our business, otherwise people will find that the meat is too small when they eat a bite of buns." Do you think you can still buy it? ”

The preventive injection was given first, so that the mother would not calculate the cost and become an unscrupulous businessman in the future.

"According to the size of my bag yesterday, one pound of noodles can make twelve buns. A pound of pork can wrap twenty buns, and one bun and a half two pieces of meat are not bad. It can't be smaller, otherwise people won't want to pay this price! Zhang Cuilian's words made Zhang's mother very disagreeable.

She shook her head and said, "That's too little, what can be done with twenty buns for a pound of meat." I think there are at least forty, and you shouldn't be too generous! ”

Zhang Cuilian frowned: "Mom! Twenty buns can sell at least five for a piece. If there is less meat, who spends that wronged man! Besides, we can also make vegetable buns, and the vegetable buns are sold quickly! ”

After the mother and daughter discussed, they found that there were a lot of passing vehicles, and a man could eat ten or eight buns in one meal.

At four o'clock the next day, Zhang's mother got up and picked two Chinese cabbages in the field and cut leeks. began to steam steamed buns with Zhang Cuilian, and Zhang Guangfu also diligently took a fork to the vegetable garden to turn the ground. Prepare to plant some leeks, green onions and Chinese cabbage.

At nine o'clock, forty steamed buns with pork and green onions, eighty egg buns with leeks, and eighty vegan buns with cabbage were baked. Just when steaming the buns, Zhang Guangfu took the soybeans and went to Lao Wang Tofu to exchange for two catties of dried tofu. I smeared the green onions and coriander with the miso and rolled them up by myself. I washed more than 20 cucumbers and prepared to sell steamed buns with my wife and daughter.

It is rare for the Zhang family to be so diligent, Zhang Guangfu pushed the cart with steaming 200 steamed buns. Zhang Cuilian followed behind, holding two large kettles with cold boiled water, while Zhang's mother was holding a bag containing dried tofu rolls and green onions.

Cool white boil is given for free, anyway, it won't cost extra money if you need hot water when steaming the buns. Dried tofu rolls with green onions, and if someone buys more buns, they will sell them and give them away. As for the cucumber, half of it went into Zhang Guangfu's mouth.

From half past nine in the morning to half past four in the afternoon, all the 200 steamed buns of the Zhang family were sold. Fortunately, Zhang Cuilian had instructed her biological parents in advance not to show off everywhere. Otherwise, tomorrow there is a steamed bun seller sitting opposite, and half of them will not be able to sell it.

Fortunately, the place is a little further away from home, and not so many people realize that they have to come out to sell things to passing drivers. There is not one left of the two hundred buns sold, and Zhang Guangfu, who is happy, can't close his mouth.

Back at home, no one thought about cooking. began to count the money together, Zhang Guangfu said excitedly: "It's still a vegetarian bun to make money!" A pound of white flour can steam twelve buns, and a penny can be sold for a total of one dime. Removing the four cents of flour money, Chinese cabbage is not worth anything, even if you pay a penny, you can still earn eight cents!"

Zhang Cuilian shook her head and said with a smile: "Dad, you're wrong, twelve buns, we make eight cents." Thirty buns to earn two cents. Do you know how much our family earns for 30 meat buns? ”

Zhang Guangfu raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly, "How much?" ”

Zhang Cuilian smiled proudly: "Thirty meat buns earn a net of one piece and five points!" ”

The fruit is regularly watched three times a day, at 12 noon, 15 in the afternoon, and 18 in the evening. Youmu is very diligent, welcome to collect!
