Chapter 74: Aunt Lin, Let's Sell Ice Powder
Xiao Qinghe took out the pot of ice powder made in the afternoon from the cupboard, and said, "Brother Jin Ping, Brother Xiao An, I'll make you a bowl of ice powder, this weather, it's most comfortable to eat a bowl of ice powder after dinner." ”
Jin An hugged his stomach and said, "No, no, I ate too much today, and I can't eat anything." ”
Jin Ping glanced at his younger brother angrily and said, "You're embarrassed to say it!" ”
This kid is usually at home, either it's not delicious, or he doesn't like to eat like that, and he doesn't eat well for a day, why did he run to Lotus Flower's house, like he hadn't eaten for a few days?
Jin An said with a hippie smile: "It's all because Aunt Lin's cooking is so delicious that I can't stop at all." ”
Lin Jing said with a smile: "If you like it, just come, Lotus can hunt and catch fish now, and you can't do without your mouthful." Tomorrow to the market, or I will go and tell Grandma Han, you will go home with me tomorrow, stay in my house for two more days, let the lotus take you to the mountains to hunt in the morning, go to the river to fish in the afternoon, if it rains, you can also find some mushrooms or something. We don't have any good things in the countryside, but there is no shortage of fun. ”
For the two brothers Jin Ping and Jin An, who helped him a lot, Lin Jing was really grateful in her heart, and she wanted to entertain them for a few days.
Jin An was very moved when he heard this: "Then I'll tell Zuzu when I go back!" ”
Jin Ping bent two fingers and knocked on his younger brother's head: "You kid ate and brought it today, and he is not satisfied, Aunt Lin has something to do, where can I have time to take care of you?" ”
Lin Jing said: "There's nothing to bother, it's just a matter of cooking a few meals, usually our mother and mother also have to eat, and at other times, just let Lotus take you to play." ”
Xiao Qinghe also said: "Yes, Brother Jin Ping, there is nothing to trouble, our children in the countryside are all free-range, except for meal time, they don't stay in the house at other times." There are still a few days left from school, so you can come to my house and play for a few days, when the pheasants and hares in the mountains are very fat, and then we will compete to see who has more prey. ”
Jin Ping was also a little moved when he heard this, who doesn't like hunting? But he is already a young man, not a child, Aunt Lin is a woman with a child, and it is inconvenient for him to live here.
Xiao Qinghe said: "Brother Jin Ping don't have to worry about having no place to live, you and Brother Xiao An live in my house, I'll go and squeeze with Xiaoyun, and my mother can go to Aunt Fang's house to live for a few days." ”
"It's not a big deal, right......"
"It's okay, I have a good relationship with Sister Lin Fang, it's no problem to borrow her for a few nights."
Lin Jingdu had already said so, and Jin Ping didn't insist, he said: "That's okay, I'll talk to my ancestor and grandfather first when I go back, then tomorrow Aunt Lin and Lotus Flower will go to the street to catch the market, and we will have lunch at my house by the way, and we will come over together in the afternoon." ”
At this time, Lin Jing was numb, and hurriedly refused: "You don't need to eat, I have to rush back to feed the pigs." ”
Jin Ping said: "If you want it, our brothers will come over to trouble Aunt Lin for a few days, and I really don't want to go if I don't invite Aunt Lin to have a light meal." Besides, Aunt Lin can also go by the way to recognize the door, and if there are any difficulties at home in the future, you can also talk to my ancestors and grandfather, as long as it does not violate the principle, she can help us. You can ask your neighbors to help feed your pigs. ”
Lin Jing thought of the problem that she hadn't solved for a few years, the Jinping brothers just came over for a meal, and the fourth uncle helped her solve it, if she could really walk around with Grandma Han more, many things didn't need Grandma Han's help, and the village would be able to solve them for her.
Although Lin Jing is honest and responsible, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, after thinking about it, she agreed, but she pondered what gift to bring when she came to visit tomorrow?
After that, Xiao Qinghe scooped two bowls of ice powder, handed them to Jin Ping and Jin An, and said, "Brother Jin Ping, Brother Xiao An, you can taste the ice powder I made." ”
Xiao Qinghe has decided that when Jin Ping and Jin An come to her house, she will give them a little spiritual spring water every day to help them strengthen their physique, which can be regarded as a little gratitude to them.
Although Jin An's stomach was already very strong, the ice powder was made by Xiao Qinghe himself, and he still wanted to taste it.
I took a spoonful and put it in my mouth, and the coolness of the mint exploded on the tip of the tongue, mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar, which had a unique taste.
He couldn't help but eat a bowl full of ice powder, this time he really couldn't move.
Jin Ping also thought it was delicious, he said: "Aunt Lin, the ice powder made by lotus flowers is so delicious, you can go to the street to sell ice powder when you are in the market, there must be many people who buy it." A bowl of ice powder on the street costs three cents, and you can earn ten yuan by selling thirty bowls of ice powder a day, but the cost is not much at all, and it is also a hundred yuan a month. ”
Xiao Qinghe had also persuaded his mother to do some small business in catering before, but Lin Jing, who was cautious and did not dare to take risks, refused.
However, now that Lin Jing listened to Jin Ping's words, she was moved, and she asked: "Making ice powder, making so much money?" ”
"Of course! Aunt Lin, think about it, how many bowls of ice powder can be scooped up in such a pot of ice powder, and you can calculate how much money it can sell. Look at how many ice seeds are needed to make such a pot of ice powder, and how much brown sugar is needed, and the cost can be calculated. Revenue minus costs is profit. ”
Lin Jing pondered for a while, the cost of ten yuan of ice powder may only cost two or three yuan......
In this way, there is a lot to be done!
But can you sell 30 bowls a day?
Xiao Qinghe knew very well where her mother's concerns were, she said: "Mom, if you are worried that you won't be able to sell so much, you can make a little less at the beginning, make a quantity of one or twenty bowls, try to sell it first, even if you can't sell it, it's a big deal to eat it at home, and you won't lose too much." ”
"If you can sell it, won't you find a way to make money? Now that the family has a homestead, the next step is to earn money to build a house. Two or three thousand yuan, at the current rate, how many years can I live in my own house? ”
Jin An blushed his stomach and said, "Aunt Lin, you can see that I eat so well, the ice powder made by lotus flowers is really delicious, and I am not afraid that no one will buy it." ”
Lin Jing's heart moved: "Then I'll try?" However, it won't be long before the weather cools down. ”
"That's why mom should start right away, and she can also accumulate a little experience, and she can sell her hands and feet next year."
Lin Jing nodded vigorously: "Okay!" Mom went out and gave it a try! ”
Chinese's attachment to land and houses seems to be imprinted in their bones, and in the past, Lin Jing was not willing to go to the street to do business, and buying vegetables was already the biggest move she could make.
However, now that she sees the hope of owning a house of her own, she is willing to break the barriers in her heart and do things that she didn't dare to try before.
