Chapter Forty-Eight: Playing Big (2)
Don't look at Sun Hao's house is also rural, but it is relatively close to the town, and the house is a blue brick house, very magnificent, and there is a big yard, and at this time a long table has been set up in the yard, as well as a few chairs, and there are two young men standing.
Sun Hao introduced: "This is my nephew, this is my nephew!" "He has an older sister who is married directly in the village, so he is quick to call, and the point is that both children can also read and write.
Then he instructed the two of them: "Xiaohang, Xiaozheng, you take down all the red paper on the ox cart!" ”
Sun Hao's nephew Sun Hang and nephew Sun are busy removing all the red paper from the ox cart.
Sun Hao asked Mo Dahe: "Have you thought about how many you want to write?" I think we have five kinds, all of them are suitable for our country! ”
"Well, I've got six in mind, so which five do I want to write!" Mo Dahe said.
"No, six is six!" Sun Hao said, it doesn't matter if you have one more.
"Dahe, then you first lay out the red paper and write it yourself, you first write out all six couplets, and then I will use those to let people recognize the words; After a while, Xiaozhi brought people here, you taught them how to cut paper, and then let Xiaohang and Xiaozheng lay the paper for you, you are responsible for writing, you remember, only the same is put together, large, medium and small can not be mixed! Sun Hao was also afraid that Mo Dahe would be unreliable, so he told him again.
"Okay!" Mo Dahe answered.
Then Sun Hao went to call someone, Sun Hao calculated, if the time is fast, one village in the morning, one village in the afternoon, there should be two villages, there are more than thirty villages around, that is called twenty almost!
Mo Dahe is really self-aware, it is not small to do this thing, who to call to sell, how to sell, how to price the items, there is still a difference between the far and the near, how to calculate the commission at that time is a problem, after all, to go far, people are also hard, must not be close to a price, otherwise who is willing to go far? And it's tiring to pick things.
There are many people, and they are responsible for coordination, and then it's not that the things are sold and it's over, and how to deal with the things that are collected in the end is also a problem, whether to sell them, or keep them for themselves to eat, keep them for their own food, it is estimated that they won't need so many things and so on, so it's really not something that Mo Dahe can do alone.
Sun Hao called twenty people, all of them were young and strong young men, some from the town and some from the village, whether they were clever or honest, they were all very reliable, young and strong, good conduct, and they were all diligent people with quick hands and feet!
Twenty people called, Sun Hao asked everyone to read, memorize couplets, and explain by back, this is for people to promote, and by the way, a little training in prices and arithmetic, don't sell at a loss, it's not easy for countrymen to make some money.
Of course, these things are also done just in case.
When these twenty people memorized the couplet, Xiao Zhi had already brought four friends to cut paper together, all of them were half-grown children, I heard that there were fifteen dollars a day, and they also included a lunch, and it was not heavy work, they could do it, and they would not be tired, and no fool would push out such a good thing, so I told my family and left with Xiao Zhi.
The family also agreed, anyway, they are idle and have nothing to do at this time, they are not tired and have lunch, where can I find the work of fifteen yuan a day?
Then Sun Hang and Sun Zheng were responsible for laying paper and collecting paper.
Because Sun Hao had a request, Mo Dahe simply wrote ten pairs of the same couplet, and then changed one to write ten pairs, the reason for this is because the same couplet is written too much, and if you change it again, it is easy to write messy and make mistakes.
Sun Hao has no experience in this area, so Mo Dahe is what he says.
Because there are too many people, the steamed buns directly steamed by the Sun family are mixed with some black noodles, but the taste is good, and they are full, because the family sells pork, so they directly take the big bones to boil the soup, and then cut a pound of lean meat into it, so that people can also taste some meat.
Sure enough, even if it was such a meal, everyone ate it with relish and was very satisfied!
After lunch, everyone began to set off, the morning itself was delayed a lot of time, and if you don't set off in the afternoon, there is no place to sell, the couplets are all sorted out, six different couplets are tied with six different threads, and as for the three large, medium and small couplets, they can be seen with the naked eye, and there is no distinction.
In the afternoon, two more people came to help, Sun Hao's eldest son and second son, and the two went to deliver goods to various restaurants and some small restaurants in the morning.
I have to say that Sun Hao's eldest son Sun Chen and second son Sun Yu both look like him, five big and three thick, just the face full of meat, saying that he will not inherit his butcher profession in the future, no one believes it, but Sun Fa seems to be a little fat, but he looks white and fat, like a steamed bun, and is more like Sun Hao's daughter-in-law, don't look at Sun Hao's face full of meat, but his daughter-in-law is beautiful.
Because Mo Dahe is only responsible for writing, a hundred dollars of paper seems to be a lot, but in fact, it was written before lunch, and a hundred dollars were gone.
I have to say that Sun Hao's trick is really good, even if the family doesn't have much money, they want to buy two pairs, because they can barter, everyone always has a lot of things to exchange, such as soybeans, grain noodles, fish and shrimp meat, etc.; It can be used such as home-woven cloth, cotton, clay pots, tables and chairs, etc.
And because Mo Dahe's couplets are expensive, the things they exchange for, as long as the things are good, are calculated according to the high price of the New Year's Festival, which is much higher than the price they sell themselves, so the people who come to exchange it are equivalent to taking advantage of it.
So Mo Dahe's couplets are very popular, some are close, and they came back not long after picking them at noon, and they ran again, and a hundred dollars of paper seem to be too much, and today let Mo Dahe finish writing in one day, in fact, it is also a loss that Mo Dahe has copied books before, otherwise anyone will not be able to stand such a high-intensity writing for a while.
Mo Dahe didn't expect the business to be so good, and although Sun Hao was full of confidence, he didn't expect that a hundred dollars would be consumed so quickly, Sun Hao immediately decided: "Xiaozhi, you go to the grocery store to see if there is any red paper, and buy some first!" ”
Then he told Mo Dahe: "Dahe, you write first, I'll go to the county seat now!" "After all, Luo Feng Town is just a small township, and the volume of goods is not large, so the red paper is used up for them, so he has to hurry to the county seat to buy it, he knew this, Sun Hao regretted letting Mo Dahe be idle for a long time.
No one in the town has a horse, but Sun Hao's good friend has a donkey cart, in order to pursue speed, Sun Hao went to borrow a donkey and rode a donkey to the county seat, so the speed is faster!
There is not much red paper in the grocery store in the town, three or four have collected it, and it is only fifty dollars, no more, fifty dollars of paper were quickly written by Mo Dahe, but no one carries the burden to sell anymore, it is already three minutes at this time, and the neighborhood is all sold, and it will take a long time to go to the distance, let alone go back and forth, so the time is definitely not enough.
