Chapter 33 The opening is good
The chicks were chirping around the chrysanthemums and refused to goβthe smell attracted the chickens, and they watched the chrysanthemums run in and out of the field, and refused to greet them!
Zheng Changhe waved his hand and drove the chickens away from each otherβthey came back after a whileβand asked Chrysanthemum, "How many spoons can you save?" β
Chrysanthemum couldn't help but smile when she heard her father's question: "You can always sell forty or fifty spoonfuls!" β
She looked at the big wooden spoon and felt a little heartache - if this was in her previous life, how could it be sold so cheaply! However, then again, if it is really as expensive as in the previous life, then the cost of pig water will definitely increase.
When Yang came back happily, he told them in detail where his uncle's shop was on the market, how many people came to congratulate him, how many groceries were sold on the first day of opening, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to say that this shop was really close to Erlipu, and it was convenient to sell vegetables in the future.
This night, the Zheng family was so excited that they couldn't sleep for a while while lying in bed.
Chrysanthemum is especially excited, and he has no conditions and skills to turn stones into gold, so he can only raise pigs and chickens in a down-to-earth manner, and do a small penny business, I hope this is a good start!
Aoki couldn't sleep, so he simply recited the homework he had learned during the day.
The moonlight leaked in through the crack in the door, shining on the ground like a white practice, and a few white exercises were horizontal on the ground, which was a little messy! He memorized the book for a while, and then looked at the moon shadow on the ground for a while.
In the other room, Yang and Zheng Changhe were still whispering, they were estimating how much this dish would sell for tomorrow!
The next day, before dawn, chrysanthemums got up to make cold spinach; Aoki helped his mother put the crockpots and pots and spoons into the two large bamboo baskets, and carried his father to his own bed in the hall - otherwise everyone would be gone, and Chrysanthemum would not be able to move him alone.
When everything was ready, Aoki picked up the dish that carried the family's hopes and walked into the misty morning light with Yangβhe wanted to give Yang a ride.
Chrysanthemum looked at her mother and brother who were drifting away, and suddenly felt a little empty in her chest, just like the feeling after the exam in her previous life was handed in - the rest is just waiting for the results to come out!
If the results are good, you will naturally be happy and encourage yourself to make persistent efforts; If the grades are not good, most of them will not always be depressed, and they will reorganize their minds after two days of discomfort, put more energy into studying, and wait for the next exam.
But in the process of waiting for the results, my heart is very empty, I don't know what to do!
So, this morning, Chrysanthemum and her father have been absent-minded, always looking at the path leading to Qingnan Village outside the courtyard.
Chrysanthemum was the only one in the house, and of course he couldn't get Zheng Changhe to the yard with the bed, so he could only stay at home and look outside through the not spacious gate.
Fortunately, Chrysanthemum's down-to-earth footing touched the heavens, and her small business was not spurned in this small market town - Yang returned before noon.
The moment she saw Yang's figure, Chrysanthemum tried her best to restrain herself, so she didn't rush out of the yard to greet her.
She smiled and went back to the house and said to Zheng Changhe: "Dad, my mother's house is here!" β
Zheng Changhe's concentration was obviously much worse, his body was shocked, he straightened up suddenly, and the pillow he was leaning on immediately slipped to the side, if it weren't for the fact that his legs couldn't move, he was afraid that he would have jumped off the bed.
"Coming home? Where? He craned his neck and looked out.
Chrysanthemum stepped forward to straighten the pillow behind him and let him lean on, and then said, "Dad, what are you anxious about?" My mother will be at the door immediately. Don't move, it's not good to see if you touch your legs. β
Waiting for Yang to enter the house with a smile on her bamboo basket eyebrows, Chrysanthemum finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and gave Yang a cup of steaming chrysanthemum tea, and then waited for her to tell her about selling vegetables today.
Zheng Changhe asked urgently unconsciously: "What's the matter, it's sold out?" β
Yang Shi drank a few sips of water first, glanced at him and said, "Of course it's sold out." Chrysanthemums are so delicious, why can't they be sold? You didn't see it, you robbed it! After selling out, I asked Ming'er if he had any miles. β
Zheng Changhe immediately laughed!
Yang turned to Chrysanthemum and said, "I'm going to do more today." Not enough to sell! β
Chrysanthemum asked, "How many spoons were sold?" β
Yang took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and said while shaking loudly: "The pig was sold for sixty spoonfuls of water. I also scooped up some of your uncle's miles. The small dried fish was sold for eight spoonfuls. β
Chrysanthemum's eyes widened and said, "Why are there so many miles?" β
Zheng Changhe also looked at Yang in surprise.
Yang said to them proudly: "It's your uncle who said that if there are few people who buy it, then scoop more than one spoonful; If there are many people who buy it, then scoop a mediocre spoonful. That's a lot, it's enough to eat two steamed buns. β
After a pause, she added, "It's just a bit of a problem, a lot of people don't have bowls." However, I told them to bring bowls tomorrow - we don't have those bowls for them. β
Chrysanthemum looked at the money bag in Yang's hand, and couldn't help but laugh. This is really, on the first day of doing business, my mother understood the trick, it seems that she has a talent for business.
She asked Yang again: "I only sold the morning ones today, if I sell them even at noon, how many suitable miles would I have to make that day?" β
Yang thought about it seriously, made a silent calculation, and said, "I'm afraid I have to do at least three pairs of people." Three pairs will definitely be sold out. These people bought water to eat, and when they saw that they were also given vegetables and fragrant sauce, Sensei was very happy. It is said that the color of the vegetables is good, the taste of the sauce is also fragrant, and it has never been so worth spending a penny. Those who didn't have bowls were in a hurry, and waited until they had finished eating before he borrowed them to wash them and buy them. β
Chrysanthemum finally "giggled" out laughing - this business has a great future!
Originally, she thought it was a small business, but she forgot that the consumption of ordinary people is the greatest. As long as they can afford it, there will be more people to buy, and the market potential will be unlimited. I'm afraid that the people who buy this dish in the future will not be limited to the men who work at the docks, and the third mate will definitely not be enough.
However, there is no way to do it, this pond is too small, and at most three or four pigs will be killed a day.
In the afternoon, Chrysanthemum burned all the three pairs of sewers that Yang brought back today.
In the evening, the family had a hasty meal, and they were all busy, running in and out, carrying cans, feeding pigs and chickens, changing water for acorns, chopping yellow cabbage and washing it for later use, until it was dark before washing and going to bed.
The water was simmered in the pot and was not served.
The chrysanthemum changed the method, not to burn it on a large fire, but to use the residual heat of the firewood and grass to simmer slowly in the pot, so that it will be served again the next morning, which will not only taste but also crispy, and save firewood and grass!
This time, the three pairs of water and pickles were cooked, and the amount was really not light, and Aoki sent his mother out for a long distance the next morning before turning back.
However, Yang still came back early today.
Zheng Changhe saw her and asked anxiously: "Didn't you say that you would sell it until noon, why are you here now?" Is it not good to sell? β
Yang's face bloomed with a smile, and he glanced at him with disgust and said, "Just you are talking nonsense!" Why is it not easy to sell? It's sold well, and I sold out at noon in the morning, so I have to come home! β
Chrysanthemum opened her mouth wide in astonishment, and asked after a while, "Why do so many people buy miles?" "It was unexpected.
Yang grinned and said, "In addition to the people who work to buy and send steamed buns and wowotou to eat, there are also many people who buy them and take them with their families." I can buy a bowl of meat for two cents, and if I put it aside, I would have bought it tooβraw pork costs twenty cents. How good it is to buy a two-penny sewer house to coax the little baby. β
Chrysanthemum suddenly realized when she heard it!
She asked worriedly, "How many pairs did the mother buy today?" β
Yang sighed and said, "Fortunately, you bought some more water to marinate a few days ago, but I didn't even buy water today." When I asked the butcher, the butcher said that he had been bought by someone else! β
Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and smiled: "I think someone has eaten it delicious and wants to buy it to burn." Let him go! Why am I selling it so cheaply? It is to make people feel that it is better to buy it and burn it yourself, it is better to buy it from me! Besides, not everyone can burn my good taste. β
Yang nodded again and again, and said gloatingly: "When they can't wash off the smell, look at how he burns!" β
Chrysanthemum thought that she was going to do the business of these dock workers, which was a stable market, so even if the practice of pigs in the water was learned by others, she was not afraid - no one was impatient to do this small business. It's just that next year, we have to match the fish and shrimp, and it is not enough to just sell them in the water.
She said to the Yang family: "Mother, you go and tell Uncle Zhao and Li Changxing that they will net some fish and shrimp and sell them to us when they are fine." The smaller ones don't matter, and the big ones let them keep for themselves - those are not cost-effective! We can't just sell it, we have to add some fish and shrimp. β
Yang nodded and said, "I'll talk about it after dinner." β
Zheng Changhe said: "When my leg is healed, I will also cast the net!" β
Yang said: "When your legs are healed, what will be the cold, and you will still cast the net!" β
Chrysanthemum chuckled. Her father can't wait to work in the field immediately, he is really an idle person!
Yang pulled out the money bag from his waist and said with a smile: "I sold two hundred and three wen miles today!" Come to like scooping vegetables, I collect money, and I am so busy that I can't wait to grow three hands. That baby thief is shrewd, and I don't know how he scooped it, but he sold more than me! β
Zheng Changhe smiled proudly and said to her: "These little babies are very powerful. Aren't we chrysanthemums good enough to make this delicious dish? You've been doing it for decades, and it's not like she's not as good as her! Fortunately, it's all our own family. β
Yang nodded again and again, but did not argue with him.
Chrysanthemum has long heard from her mother that her cousin is shrewd, and with him taking care of her, she must not suffer a loss! She looked at the two hundred dollars, as happy as if she had found the first pot of gold in her previous life!
Under the affectionate gaze of Zheng Changhe's father and daughter, Yang poured the copper coins into the clay pot where the family specially saved money, solemnly pressed the mouth of the jar with a small sandbag, carried it to his room, and stuffed it under the bed!
Chrysanthemum looked at the way her mother pretended to be money, and thought to herself, it's time to change the big jar!
