The proprietress stared at Bai Mengdie's slender back, and she was a little choked in her heart, the price that Bai Mengdie paid was a chicken price for her.

Don't sell it, run the business, sell it, make too little money, it's too tangled.

The proprietress fought fiercely in her heart for more than ten seconds, and stopped Bai Mengdie, who had already stepped out of the store for more than ten steps, in time: "Girl, come back, come back!" ”

Bai Mengdie secretly hooked the corners of her mouth, knowing that she was likely to succeed.

When she turned around, she had already switched to a questioning expression: "Boss, are you calling me something?" ”

The proprietress sighed helplessly: "For your sake, for your sake, I will sell you two hundred and fifty, and I can't do less." ”

Bai Mengdie smiled and shook her head: "I won't pay two hundred and five, if people know, they will laugh at me for two hundred and five, this number is too ugly, boss, you can sell me two hundred yuan." ”

The proprietress glanced at her: "It sounds like two hundred yuan is very good, this number is more than two."

In this way, I will give you ten dollars less, two hundred and four for two, this number is not difficult to hear. ”

Bai Mengdie shook her head: "I am only willing to pay two hundred to buy it, good things come in pairs, and many auspicious numbers." ”

The proprietress was about to kneel down for her, this little girl was so good at grinding, and she was too busy with business, so she didn't have time to say more to her: "Forget it, let's take a step back, and I'll sell it to you if you add twenty." ”

Bai Mengdie thought about it, this price was acceptable, so she nodded and agreed.

After checking the quality of the two Walkmans, he paid for them, then went to the video store and spent thirty yuan to buy Shi Lei two English tapes of his senior year of high school and one cassette of the most popular songs of this era.

I really didn't expect that the price of tapes in this era was so expensive, and a tape cost ten yuan.

It's still good in her previous life, listening to music on your mobile phone doesn't cost you a lot of songs, even if you want to listen to paid songs, you just need to open the green diamond, and you don't need a few dollars, and you can listen to a lot of songs.

Therefore, the richer and stronger the country and the more progressive the society, the better the life of the common people will be.

In the end, Bai Mengdie went to a copy shop and spent ten yuan to make a hundred of the cheapest business cards.

The owner of the copy shop made a business card for her, and said regretfully: "It would be better if there was a contact information, people can call you directly if they want to buy your things." ”

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, she had the contact information, that is, her homeline number.

But her classmates wanted to buy her stationery and homework books, and call her home's landline phone, which she usually couldn't receive at school.

Indicate on the business card which class she is a student in, and people will come directly to her classroom to buy it from her, which is more convenient than calling her.

Although she noticed that many students have PHS when she went to the school to register this morning, the mobile phone call fee in this era is too high, and it is a two-way charge.

If you buy a mobile phone and let others contact her at any time to let her deliver it to your door, it will increase the cost a lot because of the phone bill, which is not cost-effective.

Bai Mengdie returned home with the printed business card, stationery and homework book, and it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

Bai Mengdie sent the stationery and homework books to his room, then took the Walkman and two English tapes he bought for Shi Lei in his hand and put them behind his back, gently pushed his small room open, and a wave of heat rushed towards him.

It's September now, although the weather in Jiangcheng, one of the four major furnaces, is still very hot, but it has passed the scorching heat, but Shi Lei's room is still so hot, you can imagine how hot his room was in the two months of July and August, and how he survived!

The main reason is that the orientation of his room is not good, and the sun shines into the window directly raises the temperature of the room.

Shi Lei was leaning on the head of the bed and engrossed in the exercises, when he saw Bai Mengdie coming in, he looked at her inquiringly.

Bai Mengdie originally wanted to sell Guan Zi to him, but seeing that he was so unemotional, he dispelled his thoughts, put the Walkman and two English tapes hidden behind him beside him, and looked at him with a smile.

Shi Lei's eyes lit up, picked up the Walkman and the two English tapes and asked in surprise: "You bought it for me?" ”

Bai Mengdie nodded: "I see that your English pronunciation is very non-standard, so I specially bought you a Walkman and an English tape."

If you listen more and imitate more, your English pronunciation will be standard.

You can't pronounce it accurately, and it's hard for you to get points in the listening area. ”

Shi Lei excitedly said, "Fluttershy, thank you!" ”

Bai Mengdie glanced at him: "You and I are brother and sister, what is there to thank." ”

She didn't stay in Shi Lei's room for long, and went to the rental house to get ingredients to prepare dinner.

Shi Lei put an English tape into the Walkman and listened to it.

In fact, he has long longed for a Walkman, whether it is to listen to songs or English.

But he is the child brought to the Bai family by Tian Chunfang, although the Bai family is very good to his mother and son, and he has never disliked him as a drag oil bottle.

But his grandparents have always taught him to be sensible and content, the Bai family gave him food and education, and he couldn't make any other requests to the Bai family.

He didn't even want the clothes and shoes and socks he was wearing to be new, how could he open his mouth to ask for a Walkman, although he was very greedy when he saw his classmates' Walkmans.

As soon as his biological father died, the mother and son were driven out by the Shi family, isn't it because his grandfather and grandmother always suspect Tian Chunfang of subsidizing her mother's family?

If he doesn't know how to be satisfied, he still wants this and that when he has a full stomach and books, he will make the Bai family hate him, and thus hate his mother and son, which will lead to Tian Chunfang's divorce?

Tian Chunfang's second marriage can still find a handsome and good-looking man like Bai Aiguo, the probability of falling from the sky and hitting his head is even smaller, how can Shi Lei bear to destroy Tian Chunfang's marriage because of him.

So he has been suppressing the desire in his heart, but he didn't expect Bai Mengdie to empathize with his dream.

Bai Mengdie came to the rental house and saw that there was a large pot of snails, which could be eaten several times, so she planned to have dinner first tonight.

She squatted in front of the big basin containing the snails and looked at the water quality, which was not too muddy, so she changed the water for the snails and added salt to induce vomiting, and the water was muddy in less than a quarter of an hour.

I changed the water again, this time with a little salt, and let the snails slowly induce vomiting.

Then take out a small half of the snail from the large basin and put it in the small basin, add water, add a few tablespoons of salt to strongly induce vomiting again, the water is still muddy, but not too muddy.

Bai Mengdie induced vomiting again with the snails in the small basin, the water was basically not muddy, and it was ready for cooking, so she took it home.

Considering that Bai Aiguo and his wife had to hurry out of the stall for two nights, and it was impossible to spend effort to eat spicy snails with shells, Bai Mengdie decided to make spicy snail meat.

In fact, it is similar to the method of spicy chicken, that is, you have to pick the snail meat out of the snail first.

Live snails are not easy to pick out the snail meat, and they are cruel.

Therefore, Bai Mengdie first blanched the snails in the water, then picked them out with a toothpick, and cleaned the snail meat under the faucet, and then it was ready to cook.

As soon as the spicy snail meat came out of the pot, Bai Mengdie tasted it first, it was fragrant and delicious, and it was wonderful.

As soon as dinner was ready, Bai Aiguo and his wife came back.

The whole family sat at the dining table with an electric fan blowing.

Bai Mengdie asked Bai Aiguo and his wife to taste the snail meat, and the husband and wife said that it was delicious.

Tian Chunfang pointed to the plate of spicy snail meat with chopsticks, and said: "In the past few years of the three years of disaster, I couldn't eat enough, and your grandfather fished soft-shelled turtle, yellow eel, and snails to eat as meat, and gave so many peppercorns and ginger, and cooked an earthy smell, which made it difficult for people to smoke."

At that time, I would rather be hungry than eat, it was your grandmother who forced me to eat with a stick, and I still see these river freshness, but I didn't expect this spicy snail meat you made to be so fragrant, so delicious. ”

Bai Mengdie scooped a spoonful of snail meat with a spoon and ate it in a bowl of bibimbap: "In your era, there was a shortage of oil and salt, and you didn't like to put wine when cooking, so of course the river fresh food you made has an earthy smell and is not delicious." ”

Bai Aiguo ate the snail meat fragrantly, and said: "If we sell snails in the food stalls, how much is it good to sell for a catty." ”

Bai Mengdie said: "Our spicy crayfish only sells for three yuan a catty, and if you make spicy snails and sell them, they can only sell them for one piece and five pounds." ”

"It's also profitable to sell a piece of five pounds." Tian Chunfang said, "The snails can't be sold in the countryside, and if we buy them, there are many people rushing to sell us for a dime or a pound."

In addition to the cost of coal fire seasoning, you can earn a dollar per catty. ”

Bai Mengdie said with a smile: "The purchase price is so low, no one wants to send it, unless our family has a small truck, and Dad will go back to the countryside to pull a few hundred catties of snails back at a time." ”

Tian Chunfang sent a mouthful of white rice to his mouth: "Pull so many snails back at one time, and there is no place to put them." ”

Bai Aiguo said to her: "Our master Qi on the first floor wants to rent out the house, shall we rent it?" ”

Tian Chunfang looked very hesitant: "Master Qi's house is a big set, and the rent is four hundred and five, even if we rent another set, we can't rent such a big house, just rent a small set." ”

"Isn't that easy?" Bai Mengdie said: "Then rent this big set and return the small set." ”

Bai Aiguo shook his head: "Then what's the matter?" When I went to rent that small apartment, my colleague was about to rent it to someone else, and when he heard that I was going to rent it, he immediately rented it to me. ”

Bai Mengdie thought for a while and said, "Then let's live in both sets, anyway, our family is not short of a few hundred yuan."

Besides, it's good if the place is bigger, there is a venue to hire two helpers to be responsible for picking vegetables and doing chores during the day, and my mother is only responsible for marinating vegetables.

In this way, Mom and Dad can have a good rest during the day and will not be too tired. ”

Tian Chunfang muttered in a low voice: "Two more people's salaries." ”

Bai Mengdie persuaded her to open a little: "It's better to spend two more people's wages than for you and Dad to be tired and sick." ”

Bai Aiguo is a person who has been a leader in the end, and he knows that if he wants to make his business bigger, he can't do everything himself, so he agrees with Bai Mengdie's proposal.

Shi Lei didn't want Bai Aiguo and his wife to work too hard, and agreed to increase the manpower.

Three to one, Tian Chunfang didn't want to agree, but he had to agree.

Tian Chunfang sighed helplessly, "Since our family is going to increase the number of people again, then Fluttershy will teach me how to mix the meat filling and prepare various sauces, so you don't have to get up early." ”

Bai Mengdie nodded: "My mother learns every morning when I prepare meat fillings and sauces. ”

After eating a few bites of food, Bai Mengdie looked up at Bai Aiguo: "Dad, I said that our family will buy a small truck, don't you think about it?" ”

"Not for now." Bai Aiguo swallowed the food in his mouth, "Let's buy a car after paying off our family's foreign debts." ”

Bai Mengdie was stunned for a moment: "Now I heard that a second-hand Santana is only thirty or forty thousand, and a miniature small truck should be cheaper, no more than twenty thousand."

Our family doesn't need to earn back 20,000 yuan in half a month, and it doesn't have much impact on repaying debts, why don't you buy it now, it's inconvenient and embarrassing to use Chen Ziqian's car all the time. ”

Her last sentence persuaded Bai Aiguo, he thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, listen to you, buy a mini truck." ”

Tian Chunfang glanced at his father and daughter: "It's not enough to have a car, someone has to be able to drive." ”

"Let my dad go and learn to teach my brother to open." Bai Mengdie can't learn to drive anyway, she hates driving.

She's not a quick girl, and if she can't make the right judgment quickly in the event of an accident, don't be a road killer.

Bai Aiguo finished eating a bowl of rice, went to the kitchen to fill another bowl, sat down and said: "It's not difficult to learn to drive, I can find the old driver of our factory to teach me, just buy some gifts." ”

Tian Chunfang touched Bai Aiguo with her elbow: "You only know how to buy a pickup truck, not to mention buying a bicycle for each of the Fluttershy brothers, which child in our community does not ride a bicycle when he goes to school?" As far as our children go to school, they walk. ”

Bai Mengdie finished eating and put down her chopsticks: "The school is not far from our house, so it's okay to go." ”

Bai Aiguo said: "A bicycle is only a few hundred yuan, our family is not short of these hundreds of yuan, and I will ask your mother to take the money to buy you a bicycle later."

Although we are close to our home school, cycling is a better way to save time, and you are now in your third year of high school, so time is precious. ”

"Then you don't need to buy two, you can buy one, my brother will take me on a bicycle." Bai Mengdie said.

Shi Lei nodded: "Yes." ”

In the end, Tian Chunfang gave his brother and sister two hundred yuan and asked them to buy a bicycle now.

It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon, but the bike shop hasn't closed yet.

The brother and sister took the money and happily went out to buy a bicycle.

There are several shops selling bicycles in a row of stores opposite the middle school attached to Huda University.

These bosses are all very discerning, and selling bicycles in front of the middle school is the best way to sell.

The brother and sister bargained and spent a full hour to buy a dark blue curved bar bicycle, which can be ridden by both men and women.

I don't know if the boss thinks that the price they paid back is too low, he didn't make much money, or if he made money, he deliberately pretended to be aggrieved.

complained vigorously that he had never seen such a stingy young man as Bai Mengdie's brother and sister, and he was too old to bargain, and he didn't even give him saliva to drink.

The saying "the counteroffer is too old" is the saying of Jiangcheng businessmen, which means that the counteroffer is too excessive, the profit is too thin, and even the money for a bottle of water cannot be earned.

Bai Mengdie's brother and sister ignored him, he felt that it was difficult to make money, and it was so hard for their family to make money in business.
