Chapter 026 Exchange money
Xiaoru deliberately weighed how many peanuts she could catch with one hand before going out, about one or two, and there were two taels when she grabbed two handfuls, so in order to sell peanuts well, she basically packed about two taels of peanuts in each package, otherwise she was afraid that people would not buy them if they filled too little.
About 50 catties of salted peanuts should be able to wrap 250 small packets, which means that theoretically it should be able to earn about 50 yuan.
The reason why I said that I made fifty yuan in theory was because I was afraid that some people would fish in troubled waters, and they took peanuts but didn't give money, and there were people who were greedy and cheap, and they didn't have any sympathy, so they didn't care that you were wearing tattered two children selling saltwater peanuts under the scorching sun!
Xiao Ru looked around, got up from the ground, patted the ash behind his buttocks, and said to Xiao Jian, "Let's find a hidden place and count the money." ”
The two siblings turned east and west, and finally found a remote grass, the withered yellow grass was more than half a person high, and no one could see the two of them sitting in the grass.
Xiao Ru deliberately changed her clothes and pants with big pockets today, she took out all the money in her four pockets and put it in the open space between her legs, all of which were gross bills and molecular money, and she couldn't even see a dollar banknote.
After counting, there were only forty-eight yuan and five cents, and sure enough, at least five people mixed her peanuts and ate them.
Xiao Ru folded the money according to one dollar, and cursed viciously in his mouth: "The person who eats my peanuts cheaply has boils in his mouth and throat is inflamed!" ”
With so much change in his pocket, it was easy for thieves to target him, and Xiaoru decided to exchange all the change for whole money.
The two siblings came to the street, and Xiaoru walked and looked for where to change the change.
Forget about the state-run supply and marketing store, the salesmen there all look like their eyes are as long as the heavenly spirit cover, and even the neatly dressed peasants look down on them, not to mention the two poor people who are dressed in tatters!
Looking for those salesmen who are even better than the Empress Dowager Cixi to exchange change, it is a hot face sticking to their cold ass, and people will not look at them, Xiao Rucai will not look boring!
There was an uncle who was pushing an ice cream on a bicycle parked in front of him, and several children paid five cents or a dime to buy an ice cream. ”
There is also a small state-run store, there is a young man who bought a bottle of soda and leaned against the counter to drink it very boldly, Xiao Jian swallowed his saliva, and still muttered in his mouth: "Soda is not good at all!" ”
Xiaoru saw a stall selling breakfast closing the stall, and thought, the one who sells breakfast should need a lot of change every day, so he walked over and tried to ask: "Auntie, do you want change?" ”
The aunt who set up the stall looked her up and down: "Of course I want change, but it's too little and I don't want to change it." ”
Xiaoru asked: "I have fifty-five yuan in change, can my aunt change it all?" ”
Although the salted peanuts were only sold for forty-eight yuan and five cents, there were still more than seven yuan that were snatched from Lin Qiang, adding up to more than fifty-five yuan, and if they could be exchanged for whole money, they should be exchanged for whole money as much as possible.
The aunt who sold breakfast was full of surprise, and looked up and down a few times at Xiaoru and the two sisters and brothers, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect to be so profitable begging now!" It's only been the morning that you two sisters and brothers have already begged for fifty-five yuan?! Sell it earlier than I can make money! ”
As small as a black line, you are begging, and your whole family is begging!
Xiao Jian raised his little face and said, "This money is not ......"
Xiao Ru hurriedly passed her hand through the back of his head to cover his mouth.
The burnt and dried shelled raw peanuts are only sold for six or seven cents a catty, and she can sell them for a pound of salted peanuts for a pound, and she can earn a difference of three cents.
"Auntie, do you want to get it?"
The aunt shook her head: "I don't have the ability of your sister and brother, I can get so much money in the morning!" I worked hard all morning to sell it for ten dollars with interest! Where is so much money for you to change, you can find someone else. ”
Not a lot! In this era, the early profit in the countryside may only be 30%, but the work in the morning can net three yuan, and there are 90 yuan a month, except for the bad weather can not go out of the stall, conservative estimates are at least 60 yuan a month, better than being a worker! The old workers in the county town are only paid 30 yuan a month.
"That'...... How much can you swap? Xiaoru asked tentatively.
The aunt of the stall earlier made a gesture of ten: "You can only exchange ten yuan at most." ”
"Then let's exchange it for ten yuan~"
It's better to change a little than a few pockets of change.
After changing the money, Xiaoru took Xiaojian to find the next store to change change.
The aunt who sold breakfast muttered while closing the stall: "What kind of world is this now?" A beggar is better than a small businessman! ”
Although it was muttering, the rural women were loud, and a few acquaintances who were passing by heard her words, stopped and gossiped to her: "Auntie, child, who have you met who makes more money begging for food than you set up a stall business?" ”
The aunt who sells breakfast straightened up and pointed to the left: "Oh! Did you see the two children in tattered clothes in front of you? I begged for nearly sixty yuan in change in the morning to exchange the whole money, and I only made a few dollars after working hard all morning! ”
Everyone gasped and asked incredulously, "Yo! The two young ladies and brothers actually begged for so much money, where did they ask for it? ”
The aunt who sold breakfast had already packed up all the things and pouted: "Who knows, those two children are very good, even if I ask them, they won't tell the truth." He took up his burden and said goodbye to everyone and went home.
Those acquaintances also dispersed, each returning to their own homes, and no one noticed that Wang Facai, a famous second-rate son in this county, was standing in the shade of a tree not far from everyone, looking greedily at the two sisters and brothers who had gone away.
Xiao Ru inquired about the black market vegetable market in the county seat, and exchanged another forty yuan for a tofu stall and a pork stall, and there were more than five yuan of change that could not be exchanged, so it could only be counted.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Ru decided to find a place to have lunch and then walk to Qingshan Town to take the bus back, which could be cheaper by one dollar.
The brothers and sisters have no money except for the huge amount of money she now sells saltwater peanuts, and they are immediately facing the dilemma of being driven out by the Lin family, so many mouths to eat, and the two brothers still have to study, which all costs money, Xiaoru just wants to save money desperately, saving a point is a point.
Passing by the end of the vegetable field, Xiaoru saw an uncle fetching water in the well, and hurriedly ran over to the uncle and asked the uncle for a scoop of water, put it in the enamel jar, and drink it when eating steamed buns later.
On a hot day, although I brought a cold boiled water from an enamel jar when I went out, I had already drunk it all.
Xiao saw that she couldn't wait to eat steamed buns and wanted to drink water, so Xiao Ru asked her to drink in an enamel jar.
Suddenly, a person walked quickly from behind her, and before Xiao Ru could turn around, a hand had reached into her pocket and grabbed the money and ran quickly.
