Chapter 43 Making Money
In addition to the fixed vendors, the people in the market come and go and buy and leave, so the source of customers is wave after wave.
Sun Chen was so busy that he didn't let Erniu reach out to help, and he carried it alone.
By the time he had finished selling the last roasted sweet potato, it was already past lunchtime.
Someone came to buy sweet potatoes again, and they were very disappointed to see that they were gone, until Sun Chen assured them that he would prepare enough sweet potatoes the next day before he walked away unwillingly.
"Brother, we brought a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, right?" Erniu confirmed with her brother again.
"Yes, a hundred pounds, only a little more." Sun Chen replied with a smile.
"Hehe, then you sold a hundred catties of sweet potatoes today?!" The second girl was very excited, if it weren't for being outside now, Sun Chen felt that she would be able to jump.
"I said that your brother is very powerful, you still don't believe it~" Sun Chen touched his sister's head, "Let's go, see what you want to eat, let my brother buy it for you~"
Thinking about the heavy wallet, Sun Chen felt that his confidence was unprecedented.
In the end, the second girl was not willing to eat anything good, and the two of them ate two bowls of shredded pork noodles at a noodle stall, which was considered to have solved their lunch.
When the two brothers and sisters went to the meat stall in Pork River, he happened to be eating.
"Okay, brother, can you think of such a good deal~" Pork Jiang took a few bites and put down his chopsticks, teasing Sun Chen, "How about it, you can get rich today, right?" ”
"But just a few sweet potatoes, how much money can I make? Besides, I gave out so much today, that is, I earned the capital, and it was good if I didn't lose money. Sun Chen smiled and laughed with him, "It's not as good as you, brother, the only one in this market, you can't move every day, and you will leave after selling two big fat pigs, which is both worry-free and profitable." ”
"Me? Not many people can bear the sin of my work! Whether it's dog days or dog days, you have to get up in the middle of the night to kill pigs every day, you always know, right? In the middle of the night, when people are sleeping soundly, who wants to get up at that point? Isn't it to make two bucks? ”
"Alas, it's not easy to do anything!" Pork Jiang asked Sun Chen while complaining to him, "Do you want the pig to go into the water today, and there is a whole pair left." ”
"Give it all to me, I won't have to buy meat today." Compared with the current pork, which is fat and lean, and most of them have a thick layer of fat, Sun Chen prefers to eat these offal. Not to mention the cheap price, as long as it is processed well, it is better than pork.
Put the sweet potato oven in the small warehouse that Sun Chen rented in advance, and Sun Chen and his sister pushed the cart home. Tomorrow I will bring sweet potatoes and charcoal from home, and it will be a lot easier to have a cart to push it.
Seeing that Sun Chen can really cope with it alone, the two brothers and sisters have already discussed it on the way, as long as he comes over by himself tomorrow, and the second girl will process gloves at home with peace of mind.
As soon as she got home, Er Niu hurried to dispose of the pigs in the water, while Sun Chen entered the house and poured all the copper plates in her wallet on the table.
He had to calculate how much money he had made on his trip today.
"One hundred and fifty-eight, one hundred and fifty-nine, one hundred and sixty, one hundred and sixty-one!" A total of 161 copper plates were sold!
One hundred catties of sweet potatoes are counted as one hundred copper plates, more than four catties of charcoal are used, which is counted as five cents, and there are two large sheets of oil paper and two cents, and the rest should be fifty-four copper plates.
"If the sweet potatoes in the first furnace are not given away, you can earn 100 wen today! However, it is also cost-effective to use them to win people's hearts. Sun Chen muttered to himself.
Taking off his clothes, Sun Chen put the wet cloth towel on his back and lay on his stomach, not wanting to move again.
It's not that his back hurts when he works in the market today, but he insists on keeping quiet, anyway, there is nothing wrong with exercising more.
"Hey, Fennel, you're here?" The voice of the second girl sounded.
"Well, I'm still thinking that today you are going to go to the town with Brother Ah Chen to sell sweet potatoes, and no one in the family will run for nothing, what? Brother Ah Chen didn't let you go with you? ”
"Come along, we've all been back for a while!"
"You're so happy, it looks like business is pretty good~"
"Hehe, it's okay, all the sweet potatoes I brought are sold out!" The second girl smiled when she thought of it.
"Really? Brother Ah Chen is amazing~"
Sun Chen put away his things and walked out of the house, "Everything is in Erniu's room, you go in and take a look for yourself first, and let Erniu finish disposing of the pig and then go to you to do work." Just put the basket there, I found the tiger last night, and I'll be here later. ”
"Hey!" Fennel happily agreed, and according to Sun Chen's instructions, she put down the basket.
Sun Chen looked at Lao Bai, who was circling around her, and the corners of his mouth twitched, this guy seems to be more hospitable than his master!
Not long after, a little boy of about nine years old came over with five or six children of about the same age, but Lao Bai seemed to be very unkind to see them, and he screamed vigorously. After Sun Chen drank it, it stopped.
"Brother Achen, these are these two baskets, right?"
"Well, go ahead, remember to fill some up~"
Sun Chen's two pigweed baskets would give them five cents, enough for a few of them to buy a dozen very small sugar cubes from the merchant Yang.
Fennel's needlework is really good, the pigweed has not been delivered, she has already made a pair of finished products according to the second girl, and looking at the matching of those colors, it seems to be better than the original appearance.
At this time, Erniu had already finished cleaning up the pig, lit a fire and stewed it in the pot, handed over the task of burning the fire to Sun Chen, and also went into the house to get busy.
It was getting dark, and the pigweed had already been delivered, so Fennel picked up the basket and left Sun Chen's house.
"The large intestine and small intestine have not been cooked yet, and now you can eat some pork liver and pig heart, I will paste a few more cakes in the cauldron, let's make do with it!" Erniu discussed with Sun Chen.
"Okay," Sun Chen nodded, only one big pot was so inconvenient, making a pig into the water, and even the soup couldn't be boiled!
I really miss the double-burner gas stove that my mother used to cook!
Fortunately, the cake with Erhe noodles tastes fragrant and chewy, and even if the pork heart and pork liver are just scooped up and cut everything, sprinkled with some chives and eaten like this, it also tastes great, so that Sun Chen's nostalgia quickly disperses.
After eating, Erniu went to wash the dishes, Sun Chen took out the sweet potatoes from the cellar, squatted next to the well and cleaned them.
"Brother, I'll come, you didn't do much today, and your back should hurt again, right?" The second girl came over and snatched the sweet potato from Sun Chen's hand without saying anything.
"It's okay, it's good for my back to be active more~" Being taken care of by his sister like this, Sun Chen felt a little embarrassed, as if his sister had been taking care of himself since he crossed over!
"That's not going to work, you sit there and rest, I'll wash it." The second girl is rarely tough.
She was really a little uneasy, "Lang Zhong said that you have to exercise moderately, you have too many activities today, and you have already exceeded it." If you are tired, your back will be sore for the rest of your life. ”
