Chapter Thirty-Six: Don't Underestimate This Girl
Early the next morning, Yang Xiulian got up early.
She went to a neighbor's house to borrow three eggs, beat them in flour and stirred them together, put chopped green onions in them, and spread out a few pancakes.
After cleaning the sour cabbage developed in winter, chop it into minced pieces, add a small amount of salt and seasonings, and stir it with sesame oil to make it crispy and fragrant.
When Song Xifeng came, he took two catties of white tofu and a few old newspapers from home, and Yang Xiulian used one-third of the tofu to cut into small tofu dices, chopped green onions, and made a small green onion mixed with tofu.
The remaining two-thirds of the tofu is cut into tofu pieces, put in an oil pan, fry both sides until browned, pour boiling water, add chili pepper and salt and simmer in the pot.
After Song Qingtian got up and freshened up, after sitting with Song Xifeng for a brief communication, a sumptuous breakfast was already on the table in the courtyard, the color of shallots and tofu was clear and white, sesame oil was mixed with sour cabbage, white and green, dark orange spicy tofu, browned pancakes with egg fragrance, and three bowls of milky noodle soup.
She couldn't help but lie on it and take a breath, only to feel the fragrance, and her stomach growled.
"Mom, today's breakfast is too rich."
Yang Xiulian gently poked her head with her fingers and said with a smile: "Little gluttonous cat, hurry up and let your third uncle eat together." ”
Song Xifeng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the food you cook has always been delicious, and this morning's one is even more delicious." ”
After eating, Song Qingtian felt comfortable in his stomach, and a sense of happiness spread in his body.
Good breakfast. In order to have the energy to complete the day's work, when Yang Xiulian made this breakfast, she put a lot of thought into it, her daughter began to make money, and she always had to have a good start.
When Yang Xiulian began to brush the dishes and chopsticks, Song Qingtian hurriedly wiped the table clean, and Song Xifeng took the brush and spread out the old newspaper, ready to start writing big-character posters.
The revelation of the acquisition of the big-character poster is roughly as follows: "Spring is coming, and everything is recovering. The pond is full of fish and shrimp, and the loaches are jumping around. In order to increase the income of the villagers and make use of local products, a large number of yellow eels and loaches will be purchased from today. Yellow eel is 5 cents per catty, and loaches are 5 cents per catty. Song Qingtian, Songhe Village, Sanhe Brigade, January 18, 1982. ”
Song Xifeng didn't read in vain in the end, and wrote the simple shopping and acquisition revelations quite literally.
Song Qingtian looked at it, pointed to the price of loaches and yellow eels and said, "The price here needs to be changed." ”
Song Xifeng asked puzzledly: "How to change it?" Isn't it all the same price in town? Let's change it higher, and we say it's lower? ”
"There must be highs and lows." Song Qingtian said: "The number of yellow eels in our Sanhe Village is small, and it is not easy to catch, the amount of loaches is large and easy to catch, if they are all purchased at the same price, there will be fewer people who catch yellow eels, in this way, the ratio of yellow eels and loaches will be out of balance, you see Lu Xin when they come to collect, there are always very few yellow eels, according to my guess, because there is no earthy smell of loaches, people's acceptance is higher than that of loaches, so I decided that yellow eels will receive 5 mao 2, and loaches will receive 4 mao 8." ”
Song Xifeng's head was very bright, and he quickly thought of another reason, and said: "Because the number of loaches is large, the price is lower, and the cost is less." ”
"That's right, for example, a total of 200 catties of yellow eels and loaches are collected, according to 50 catties of yellow eels and 150 catties of loaches, they are all 5 cents at a price, and the purchase price is 100 yuan. If you follow the price I set, 50 catties of yellow eels will be 26 pieces, and 150 catties of loaches will be 72 pieces. In this way, the cost of 100 yuan is small, and it saves two dollars. ”
Two dollars is not much, but in the 80s, I was able to buy more than two catties of pork, and doing business is a long-term thing, which saves a lot of costs after accumulation.
Song Xifeng stretched out his thumb and began to write anew.
When he wrote more than three or four sheets, Song Beifeng walked into the courtyard with a stack of newspapers.
Song Qingtian asked, "Fourth uncle, why didn't you go to school?" ”
Song Beifeng said: "The third brother has come to help you, and I will also come to help you." ”
Song Xifeng said: "Fourth, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you come, you go to school well, and I'll help you with Qingtian." ”
"Third brother, what Qingtian did for us last night, if I don't come to help, I can't go down on my conscience. I'm going to come and help you for a long time, and I'll go to school after lunch at noon. ”
Song Qingtian thought to himself that it was okay, how could Song Beifeng be a big man, he had to get by on face, he got his own benefits, he could continue to study, he could know that it was a good thing to repay his kindness, otherwise he always thought that it was not a good thing to owe himself.
Song Qingtian asked: "By the way, Fourth Uncle, what are you doing with the old newspaper in your hand?" ”
Song Beifeng said: "This is the old newspaper I found from the village committee, and I can also use it to write the acquisition revelation, I saw the third brother looking for old newspapers at home today, and asked me to bring some back from school next time, I thought to myself that it must be useful, and I was afraid that it would be delayed when I brought it back from the school, so I went to the village committee to find these." ”
Song Xifeng said while writing: "That's okay, it's okay to bring it early, I'm not in a hurry to use it for a while, I'll just write a few sheets and use it." ”
Song Beifeng was a little stunned, so he wasn't in a hurry to use it? There is no value in helping him, so he walked to Song Xifeng's side silently, looked at the acquisition revelations written by the third brother, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Third brother, these acquisition revelations are posted in the three villages of Zhaojiawan, Yanghe Village and Songhe Village, just paste one in each village?" ”
Song Qingtian said: "The first time we do business, we must make all preparations, from today to Saturday in the middle of the three days, people did not know that we buy loach and yellow eel, so the publicity must be in place, each village southeast and northwest intersection, and the center of the village to paste a copy." At least 15 for three villages. When the third uncle came just now, he brought less than ten newspapers, and I didn't think it was enough, and I didn't tell the third uncle that I wanted to post so many ideas. ”
After hearing this, Song Beifeng felt that what he had done was very useful, and he was quite happy in his heart.
In fact, Song Qingtian deliberately said this to Song Beifeng.
She saw Song Beifeng's look of loss because the newspaper she was looking for was not in a hurry, and then she thought that he was uncomfortable.
In the countryside, if there is something going on in the village, the villagers are very quick to spread by word of mouth, and they don't need so many acquisition revelations. Since the fourth uncle has the heart to help, he can't tell him that the help is not timely, the help is not good, and he has to make him feel his value, so that he is comfortable and more willing to help.
What's more, there are more recruitment notices, there are only benefits and no disadvantages, it just makes her mother Yang Xiulian a little tired.
When Song Xifeng and Song Qingtian were about to start writing the acquisition revelation, they both discussed a maximum of three stickers in a village, and he asked Song Beifeng to bring some back from the school in case of emergency, of course he could understand the key to Song Qingtian's words, and couldn't help but look at Song Qingtian more, and said secretly in his heart: "The little girl is really thoughtful." ”
After writing the acquisition notice, Yang Xiulian made the paste at home, and went to Songhe Village with the basin to start posting it.
Her task today was arranged for her by Song Qingtian last night, which was to ask her to post 5 acquisition notices in all three villages.
As soon as Yang Xiulian left, Song Xifeng asked him and Song Beifeng what they were going to do.
Song Qingtian said: "I have already arranged, we don't have a place to store loaches now, I want the third uncle and the fourth uncle to go to the town to help me buy a few plastic buckets, as large as possible plastic buckets, each plastic bucket can hold 30 catties of yellow eel loaches." ”
"How many do you buy?"
"Buy at least 20."
Song Xifeng didn't understand, and asked, "Isn't it a waste of money to buy so much?" Girl, we can't ignore expenses just because we have money in our hands. ”
Song Xifeng's kindness Song Qingtian also understands that no matter how much capital she has, she will borrow it, so naturally she can't spend it indiscriminately, but she has her ideas.
Song Qingtian explained: "Although the loaches and eels are very vigorous, we need to store them for at least three days, so that if a large number of eels and eels are stored together, the density of oxygen in the plastic bucket will be reduced." The second is that the space will be small, and if there is not enough space between them, they will bite each other.
In this way, it will increase the casualty rate and increase our costs, and conversely, the lower the casualty rate and the lower the cost, the more we will earn.
Therefore, we don't care about a few more plastic buckets, one is a few cents of the cost, a few dollars more of the cost, we can classify and store the yellow eel and loaches, and we can put 30 catties of yellow eel loaches in plastic buckets, we only put 10 catties, so that we can basically ensure the reduction of the casualty rate, and even avoid the casualty rate. ”
"So, 7 or 8 plastic buckets were enough, and you let us buy 20?"
Song Xifeng was stunned, when did this girl have such a shrewd brain, and she didn't find it before?
Last night, Song Xifeng didn't sleep all night, and he kept thinking about this question.
Since she jumped into the river, she has changed like a different person.
The first time she woke up, she showed a different kind of confidence than she did.
Song Qingtian worked hard for two days, she found back the 300 yuan lost by Mrs. Song, Song Xifeng felt very amazing at the time, and couldn't believe that Song Qingtian could do this, and later he also asked Mrs. Song about the details of the matter, and after knowing it, he was even more dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that Song Qingtian could do that.
When Song Qingtian told him to do business, Song Xifeng couldn't believe it.
A 15-year-old girl can start a business from a stranger, and ask someone else to borrow money before she starts, this courage, this courage, this courage and self-confidence, a man may not be able to compare.
In the second half of the night, Song Xifeng thought that it would be her luck that the blind cat met the dead mouse? If that's the case, I should help her better and don't let her make mistakes.
When he came to Song Qingtian's house early in the morning, he was still uneasy, and when he wrote the acquisition revelation, Song Xifeng felt that he might have underestimated this girl.
It's just a small matter like buying a plastic bucket, Song Qingtian has considered all the details so thoughtfully and thoroughly, if he hasn't done this kind of business, how can he think of this?
Song Xifeng watched Song Qingtian grow up, not to mention business, she used to be cowardly and timid, but now in the current situation, what kind of brain is she, what kind of IQ is this?
Also, what Song Qingtian just said to Song Beifeng, the emotional intelligence is also first-class and high-level, without the training of life, without life experience, how can it be said to make people sound so comfortable.
Song Xifeng's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out why this girl had changed so much, and how did she do this?
