Chapter 8: The First Pot of Gold

Li Dong put the soaked vegetables back into the bag and tied them back to the back seat of the bicycle. Lu Xiumei was borrowing a scale from a neighbor, and it took a lot of effort to borrow a scale.

The home is very close to the vegetable market, Li Dong hugged the little girl to the saddle and pushed the bicycle to the vegetable market, Lu Xiumei was worried about the little girl and held her arm beside her.

When he arrived at the vegetable market, Li Dong paid a dollar of rent and rented a temporary stall. Although it is not yet time to get off work, there are already many people in the market.

Li Dong unloaded two bags of vegetables and rode his bicycle home, in case he lost his car, the business would be in vain.

Back at the stall, Lu Xiumei had already put all the vegetables on the table and was bargaining with a customer, as a housewife, she was very clear about these small trades. The little girl is very well-behaved and is holding a plastic bottle to spray vegetables with water.

Li Dong hurriedly walked over and began to help Lu Xiumei sell vegetables. Although he has never sold vegetables, he is also a backbone member of the MLM organization anyway, and his eloquence is still very slippery.

"Is this dish fresh, young man?" An aunt asked.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, it's absolutely fresh, it's all just picked." Li Dong looked at his aunt's dress and speculated that her family conditions should be very good.

"How much is lettuce a pound?" Auntie flipped the lettuce.

"Two dollars a pound." Li Dong replied.

"It's a little expensive, boy, let's get cheaper." Aunt is too expensive.

"Eldest sister, we have to speak with our conscience, this is already the cheapest price in the vegetable market, and no matter how cheap it is, it will be a loss." Li Dong danced with his hands and used every body movement to show his sincerity.

"How is it possible, I remember that there is a company at the exit that is two cents cheaper than yours." The aunt insisted on a stall.

"Eldest sister, then you have to look at the quality of the vegetables, forget it, if a man speaks, it will be cheaper for you two cents." Li Dong said "painfully".

"Okay, young man, you are a real person, and the eldest sister's dishes are all bought at your house."

Auntie seemed very happy, she was just talking casually, but she didn't expect it to happen. Her family's economic conditions are good, and there is no shortage of this money, she mainly enjoys the pleasure of bargaining, and she is happier to cut a dime than she is to pick up a dollar.

"Eh, then thank you eldest sister for taking care of my family's business, little five, come and thank you eldest sister." Li Dong used the emotional card, after all, the business will still be long in the future.

"Thank you, big sister, for taking care of the couple's business." The little girl said crisply.

Aunt is probably embarrassed to be called, the little girl is the same age as her granddaughter, after all, she still wants to be a face, although she is happy in her heart, she is modest in her mouth:

"How can you call it sister, just call it aunt, isn't this a mess of generations?"

When Li Dong heard this, he immediately pretended to be surprised, and looked at his aunt with wide eyes in surprise, and looked at it for a full ten seconds before he said:

"Eldest sister, then you got married quite early! My daughter is as old as my sister. ”

The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then her scalp was numb, did she really look young, other people said so, she might not believe it, but the young man is such a sincere person, just for a promise, even if he loses money, he will sell himself lettuce. How could he doubt his words.

At this moment, the aunt was radiant, seemed to be several years younger, and the whole person was full of confidence. As soon as Li Dong saw it, he knew that there would be another hardcore customer in the future, and his heart was very beautiful.

After buying the vegetables, the aunt left happily, she secretly decided in her heart that she would choose the young man's house to buy vegetables in the future, the people were sincere and generous, and the vegetables were cheap and affordable.

After five o'clock, there were suddenly more people in the vegetable market, and Li Dongding's vegetable price was a dime cheaper than others, and the front of the stall was crowded with people.

Li Dong was so busy that he almost couldn't cope with it, and looking at the hostile eyes cast by other stall owners, he decided that the future pricing should be consistent with the market.

The vegetables sold quickly, and they were almost sold before half past five, leaving only some vegetables that were really not in good condition. Lu Xiumei decided to close the stall, and the rest of the dishes were just taken home to eat, and after making money, she also needed to celebrate.

Li Dong took the time to go to the stall next door to cut a pound of pork belly and spent 5 yuan, which he had been grinding for a long time before people agreed to cut it. It is really the lack of oil and water in the last days, fat meat is worth more than lean meat, and even Li Dong, a reborn person, has lived a hard life for fifteen years, and now it is logical that fat meat is more delicious than lean meat.

Lu Xiumei saw the pork belly in her eldest son's hand and blamed her for spending money indiscriminately. It's the little girl, her whole eyes lit up, staring at the pork belly, wiping her saliva vigorously, and urging A-Niang to hurry up.

When she got home, the children hadn't come back yet, Lu Xiumei wiped her hands and went to cook, and the little girl rarely pestered Li Dong, saying that she was going to help A-Niang wash the vegetables.

Li Dong smiled, he didn't break it, and he was quiet. When I went back to the bedroom, I poured all the money in my bag on the bed and counted them one by one. There was a lot of change, and Li Dong counted it for more than ten minutes before he calculated the general ledger.

Today, I bought a total of 248 yuan, deducting the principal of 80 yuan, and 9 yuan for water and thermometers, making a total of 159 yuan, which is almost twice the profit.

Li Dong divided 150 yuan from it, which is his next money to buy vegetables, and he plans to hand over the rest to Lu Xiumei as the family's daily living expenses. I believe that with this money, the food level of the family should be able to improve by a level.

After counting the money, Li Dong went to the space to water again, he had to sleep well tonight, and there was a hard battle to fight tomorrow.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw the little girl lying on the stove, desperately inhaling the aroma of meat in the pot. Lu Xiumei was chopping vegetables, and it seemed that the dinner was very rich, almost comparable to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Li Dong handed the money in his hand to A-Niang, explaining that this was to improve the family's life, and asked her not to save, but to have it every month in the future.

Lu Xiumei didn't want to take it, according to her thoughts, her eldest son's business has just begun, and the more capital, the better. However, Li Dong said that he had left enough capital, and Lu Xiumei excused himself and took it, and now the whole family can finally eat enough.

At this time, the younger siblings came back, and there was another exclamation, and there were two more figures beside the little girl.

Finally it was time to start the meal, everyone was very active, those who took the bowls took the bowls, the dishes were served, the multigrain paste tonight was very sufficient, and Lu Xiumei did not distribute it in advance.

This dinner, everyone ate heartily, the little girl ate again, even so, her bowl was still full of delicious dishes.

Li Dong wants to correct the little girl's bad habit of overeating, after all, it is not good for the body. But the little girl is still young, and you can't reason with her, and it will be counterproductive if you don't get it right. Therefore, Li Dong decided to save the country by a curve.

Li Dong: "Little Wu, why did your third brother say that you ate alone?" ”

Li Dong: "What, you were wronged?" ”

Li Dong: "This is your bowl, what do you mean by leaving a big bowl of dishes?" ”

Little girl: "......"

Li Dong: "If there is something delicious in the future, everyone will eat it together, and you can't grab it, you know?" ”

The little girl nodded.
