61. Buying and selling

This master asked for a lot of firewood, and he asked for three loads, and it was the kind of firewood that was the most dry and easy to ignite, and the transaction price was six yuan.

My aunt and grandmother were very happy, the city was so good, anything could be exchanged for money, this was a conclusion they had come to this day.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "Do you believe what I said now?" Doing business can feed us, as long as everyone needs something, we can use it to sell money, but doing business also depends on how to make money and not too hard, for example, we sell pig blood, but in two hours, we earned six yuan, but selling firewood is much harder, the two of you spent three days to get firewood, only sold for six yuan, and its hard work is many times that of selling pig blood, so a comparison will know what to sell the most profitable and labor-saving. ”

"But there is only one market day a week, and the rest of the time we are idle, to fetch a little firewood to sell, which is much better than farming at home every day." Aunt said.

Zhao Xiaoling does not approve of this, there are many ways to make money in business, and the last thing you need is this way of making money by selling coolies. She said before that firewood could also be sold, but it was just an analogy, but she didn't expect her aunt to sell it when she said it. Sell it, let them try everything, but it is not advisable to make money on this for a long time, this way is too stupid, and it will not make much money.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "Auntie, grandma is old, you can't go to the mountains every day to collect firewood, you go to fight a little, it's just for the family, you can't sell it anymore, let's think about the way to make money, for example, you can go to the mountain to make a broom to sell, and the thin bamboo can also be tied into a broom to sell, the big one can be tied into a big broom, the small one is tied into a small one, and the straw is woven into a straw mat, these can be tried."

Zhao Xiaoling was distressed, at this time, the economy had not yet recovered, and the materials were poor, unlike in later generations, there were many things that could be sold wholesale. They are all from the mountains, and what they are most familiar with in their lives is the things on the mountains, so they can only find things from the mountains to sell.

My aunt and grandmother were inspired by Zhao Xiaoling and really went to the mountains to find wild bamboo or Tengtiao to make brooms to sell. Getting these things is not as hard as Kanchai, and it is more expensive than Kanchai to sell.

On the next market day, they had already tied more than 20 brooms, large and small.

On the morning of the market day, they got up very early, went to the food company to get the blood of 10 pigs, and started cooking it at home.

At half past ten in the morning, they began to sell it until five o'clock in the afternoon, and all the pig's blood was sold, in addition to the capital, they made a net profit of twenty-two yuan, and the broom was sold for more than ten handfuls and sold for six yuan, and on this market day, they earned twenty-eight yuan.

At this time, my grandmother and aunt no longer doubted that they could not support themselves here, and their eyes lit up with excitement, and they discussed where to find bamboo bushes, and even discussed going to the mountains farther away to find mountain goods to sell.

Zhao Xiaoling is also a lot more relieved, just let them toss! A few more tosses, they will be able to accumulate some experience. In the future, when the situation is better, we can keenly seize the opportunity.

Zhao Xiaoling commutes to work every day, and after returning home, she helps her aunt and grandmother do all kinds of manual work, they don't know where to cut some reeds to weave straw mats, and use straw to weave straw mats.

Someone on the street saw Zhao Xiaoling and they sold pig blood to make money, and their eyes became hot, and there were two families next to them who also learned from Zhao Xiaoling and they sold pig blood.

My aunt and grandmother were very worried when they saw this, afraid that they would rob them of their business.

For this situation, Zhao Xiaoling has long expected that everyone has the ability to imitate, and when people see that they have a good business and make money, it is impossible not to follow suit, so Zhao Xiaoling disagrees, on the other hand, if there are people selling things on this street, this street is lively, it is only good for them and there is no harm, as for the things sold, she can resell other things.

On the market day, the entire county town only kills ten pigs every day, and other people take the pig blood of a few pigs, Zhao Xiaoling and they can only take two or three pig blood, which is not enough to sell, originally Zhao Xiaoling and they sold it first, and they had already said that they wanted all the pig blood, but the relationship between people is much stronger than that of Zhao Xiaoling.

Zhao Xiaoling can only think of other ways to resell other things, she once explained to the purchase of the public canteen, so she approved some rice noodles from the public canteen, and made some rice shrimp to sell cold rice noodles and cold rice shrimp, or a dime a bowl, plus two taels of food stamps, Zhao Xiaoling has made cold rice noodles before, so the taste is very good, and the business is naturally very prosperous, and the cold rice noodles do not need to be boiled with firewood, when they are about to be sold out, hurry up to the public canteen to buy another basket, you can flexibly grasp the sales situation.

On this day, Zhao Xiaoling was busy selling cold rice noodles in the stall, and someone called her, "Zhao Xiaoling, it's really you!" ”

Zhao Xiaoling looked up, it was Li Qing.

Zhao Yulan on the side also saw her, and said in surprise: "Qingqing, are you coming to the market?" Come, eat a bowl of cold rice noodles, this is our own making, it tastes good, you can taste it. ”

Li Qing politely refused, she was even more curious about how they could sell things here, "No need, auntie, why are you selling things here?" ”

"Make some money and spend it!"

During this time, the village was busy with farming, every household was busy with all fours, Zhao Yulan's family had the most fields, but she was not seen, and the people in the village inquired and inquired to know that Zhao Yulan was beaten away by her mother-in-law, and it turned out that she came here to make money.

It seems that their business is very good, there are many people who eat cold rice noodles, and there are also many people who sell straw mats and brooms, and the three of them are a little too busy, Zhao Xiaoling just said hello to Li Qing lightly and went to work on herself.

Li Qing saw Zhao Xiaoling and Zhao Yulan going in and out of the back room from time to time, and said curiously: "Xiaoling, you live here?"

"That's right! This is the house we rented. ”

Zhao Xiaoling didn't want the people in the village to know that she bought this house, no one could believe that she was sixteen years old, just out of school, and a person who had just joined the work could afford such a house, so they unanimously said that this house was rented by them, and the most important thing was that she didn't want the old lady of the Tang family to know that they bought this house.

"Xiaoling, aren't you working in a steel factory? How did you sell cold rice noodles? ”

"Rest today!" Zhao Xiaoling said and went to greet the guests.

"Xiaoling, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you get this job in the steel factory? It's not easy to find such a job. Li Qing followed behind Zhao Xiaoling and said.

"A friend helped me find it."
