Chapter Twenty-Four: The First Pot of Gold

Seeing this, Li Jinshu once again added fuel to the fire: "If you are worried about the bad taste, you can taste it first and then buy it." However, today is the first time my mother and I have set up a stall, so the amount of snails is limited, and if you hesitate for a long time, I am afraid that there will be no more. ”

Some people just can't hear that. As soon as they heard that they might not be able to taste it, everyone stretched out their hands and asked for a bamboo stick. The fast one has already swallowed the first snail. Not surprisingly, the eyes of all those who tasted it immediately widened.

After all, no one had ever eaten snails before, so the unimaginable flavor naturally brought the biggest surprise to everyone.

"Your snail tastes so good." The man standing at the front of the crowd swallowed, "How did you sell it?" Give me a copy! ”

"It's cheap, two pennies a piece." It's really not expensive. When the man heard this, he immediately began to pay for it: "Then give me three copies!" ”

Li Jinshu motioned for Ye to hurry up and load the snails, while reaching out to take the six coins handed by the man. After Ye wrapped three portions of large tung oil leaves, he handed over the snail to the man.

"I'll have two packs too!"

"I want a pack too!"

……

Under the scramble of everyone, the snails in the wooden basin soon bottomed out. I thought that the first time I set up a stall, I might encounter some accidents, but I didn't expect to sell things so easily. The mother and daughter packed up the empty basin and put the stove and pot back into the basket, and the smile on their faces could not be hidden.

The sun has fully revealed its face. Ye Shi planned to take his daughter to have a good meal, but unexpectedly, Jinshu just shook his head and said calmly: "Mother, let's go home and eat!" The money from the sale of snails will be saved, and when the spring of next year begins, we will have the money to build a new house. ”

Ye nodded. The mother and daughter went home in the ox cart where they came.

When I got home, it was almost ten o'clock. Ye didn't bother to rest, and after putting down his things, he turned around and went into the kitchen to start cooking. Li Jinshu also went into the kitchen to help. After a while, the late breakfast was ready.

Breakfast is simple: freshly boiled polenta with white flour cakes filled with meat, delicious and hungry. After the mother and daughter were full of food and drink, Ye took out the money bag and counted the harvest this morning.

Selling snails earned a total of ninety-four wen. In addition to the thirty texts for buying pots and the seven texts for buying charcoal, fifty-seven texts can be left in the end. Although this little money may sound like a small amount, if it is placed in an ordinary person's home, it is already a good income. After all, the men in the village work outside, and the hard work day is only 20 yuan. And they are just busy in the morning, and they can afford the income of an adult man for nearly three days.

The success of the snail business was something that Yip did not expect. After being happy, she immediately thought of her daughter who mentioned this idea, and she loved Jinshu even more in her heart.

Li Jinshu was also very happy, because this was the first pot of gold she earned since she crossed over. In the past, even if she signed a large order of tens of millions of dollars, she could treat it calmly, but now in the face of this mere dozens of dollars, she is so excited that she can't find the north.

"Mother, let's go fishing for snails again in the afternoon, and when we catch the market the day after tomorrow, we will take them to the town to sell!"

Li Jinshu knows that the snail business is definitely not a long-term way to make money. This is mainly because snails are so common and how to make them are easy to learn. When the freshness of the past few days has slowed down, there will definitely be more people selling snails in the town, and there will be fewer and fewer people willing to spend money to buy them.

So, before the snails become worthless, it's a serious thing for them to make as much money as possible.
