Chapter 40: Selling for Money

The neighbor, Mrs. Zhang, looked at the row of noodles hanging in the courtyard of the Huo family in amazement.

"What are you doing here? What are you doing here?"

Huo Dagui explained: "Make some noodles!"

"I can only roll noodles, you've never seen such a long time!" The old lady said truthfully: "Oh, it's really troublesome, how can I eat this!"

Huo Dagui said with a smile: "Make some while you have time, keep it for the New Year!"

It hasn't yet reached the lunar month, so it's time to make food for the first month? I really don't know what to think! The old lady shook her head and went back to the house to joke with her man.

After the noodles were dried, Huo Dagui took them off. Cut into equal lengths with a guillotine and stack them aside. Kou Xi brought back the blank paper and discussed with Huo Dagui how to get the right packaging.

"I can do it by myself!" Huo Dagui saw that Kou Xi had cut the paper, wrapped the weighed one-pound of noodles on the white paper, and sealed the bottom and corners with paste.

"You can do it yourself if you have a small amount, but there are so many idlers at home. How old are you!" Kou Xi disagreed, and his kung fu was very quick.

"One person cuts paper, one person scales noodles, and one person loads noodles. Kou Xi commanded: "Huo Lu cuts paper, the second brother-in-law divides the scales, and Xiao Man packs." In fact, the second sister can also work while sitting there, just smear the paste on the paper!" A total of only fifteen catties of noodles, Huo Dagui felt that he could do it.

Kou Xi said to him: "There are so many idlers in the family, and they all have to rely on you to support them? This noodle will definitely sell well, and other supply and marketing cooperatives and materials can be sold out. It's a lot, and you can't do it alone. It is best to divide labor and cooperate in this way, otherwise there will be no farm work in this winter, and all the money will be thrown on the table. ”

Huo Dagui nodded again and again and sighed: "This is true, Huo Lu and his family are not long-term people who have ideas and can think long-term. The remaining two are even more foodies, and they don't want to eat anything!

Because Huo Dagui felt that Kou Xi's house was clean and spacious, he took all the noodles in. The two of them sat on the kang table and packed, and Li Cuilian in the next room felt very uncomfortable.

muttered to Zhang Yao: "Then Kou Xi hooks your father and doesn't know what to do!"

Zhang Yao pouted with a little disdain on her face: "If you want to do anything, you have to be in this house, what's the matter with going to her house?"

Li Cuilian shook her head and put on her shoes: "No, I have to look at it." If this gets together, I'm going to have to kill this little slut!"

She pushed the door and entered Kou Xi's room, and saw Huo Dagui cutting paper and smearing paste on the ground. Kou Xi sat cross-legged on the kang and put handfuls of noodles in white paper.

The tone was very unkind: "What are you two messing up about?"

Huo Dagui was not angry: "I made noodles at home for several days, you didn't see it!"

Li Cuilian sneered: "I know what you're going to do? Who dares to mess with you!"

"Dad said that the family has no money now, so make some noodles so that I can take them to the unit to sell!" Kou Xi felt that such an obvious thing, who could not see it.

"Can you sell it!" Li Cuilian disagreed: "It's better to make some tofu, who doesn't know how to make noodles!"

"If you can sell it, you'll find out if you try it. Kou Xi didn't look at Li Cuilian, and his subordinates kept moving: "You can sell small dried fish, what's wrong with noodles!"

Speaking of dried small fish, Li Cuilian stepped forward in a few steps and raised her butt to sit on the kang. With a little curiosity on his face: "Alas, is that small dried fish easy to sell?" I heard that the small dried fish in the yard of Wang Yazhi's house are selling well!"

Kou Xi nodded and said honestly: "It's selling very well! Our unit can sell about fifty or sixty bags a week, sixteen or seventeen yuan." ”

Li Cuilian felt incredible: "It can sell so much!"

Huo Dagui snorted coldly: "Not only that, but they also sell Lao Kou, and they also sell it to other tunzi supply and marketing cooperatives." It can be sold for three or four hundred dollars a month!"

Hearing this, Li Cuilian hurriedly pressed Kou Xi's busy hand, her eyes were shining: "Then let's do this too, don't do it for your sister, let's sell it ourselves!"

Kou Xi sneered: "You can do whatever people do, you can't figure it out yourself if you want to make money." Blocking people's money is tantamount to killing your parents, aren't you looking for trouble!"

"Cut!" Li Cuilian puffed up her chest and said confidently: "This is not only her family, but other people's families are not impossible." Each depends on her ability, why does our family work for her. How much money does she give you, why don't you have to pay some errands!"

Li Cuilian squeezed her eyebrows at Kou Xi: "Let's also sell dried fish, you tell your father." We are a family, she is not a family with you. ”

Kou Xi bowed his head and was silent, and Huo Dagui did not say anything. Li Cuilian was anxious, and went down to the ground to pat Huo Dagui on the back: "Old Huo, you didn't hear what I was talking to." Kou Xi can sell dozens of yuan a month, hundreds of yuan a year, why do you have such a good thing to let outsiders take advantage of it!"

Huo Dagui pointed to the noodles on the kang, with impatience on his face: "Aren't you doing it here now?" If this noodle can be sold, it will also make money!"

Li Cuilian was angry: "You calf, really let me talk about you." Whoever buys this noodle will roll the noodles and eat your. I've heard of that little dried fish, it tastes good, and whoever comes to buy two packs of it as a hard dish!"

"What did you do when you were asked to dry small fish? That thing doesn't have a few taels of meat, does anyone buy it?" Huo Dagui sneered: "Now that people are doing it, you have to pick up leftovers from behind your ass again." People like you can't even eat hot, so you can't do anything!"

Li Cuilian stuck her waist and felt that she was a capable person: "Bah, who told me that you were going to sell dried fish? If you tell me, I will definitely do it." I'm going to put it here today, you noodles are a money-losing product!"

Huo Dagui thought she was unlucky, and he raised his hand to whip her. Li Cuilian fled to the side with her head in her arms, stood at the door and stomped her feet: "Say that you don't listen, there will be times when you regret it!"

Of course, fifteen catties of flour make more than fifteen catties of noodles, and the amount of noodles made with water and salt is even greater. Huo Dagui weighed it, and basically a pound of flour can produce four to five taels of noodles per catty. Therefore, Kou Xi packed twenty bags of fifteen catties of flour.

"A pack costs three cents, and twenty packs are six yuan!" Water doesn't cost money, salt is a dime and three pounds, and wrapping paper uses a dime and seven yuan. The cost of these twenty packs is two dollars and fives, and you can earn three dollars and five cents.

Huo Dagui was quite worried: "I don't know how long these twenty packs can be sold!"

Kou Xi really knew that in the early nineties, there was a large-scale noodle factory in the town. People spent thousands of dollars to buy the machine, and the output of a day is quite amazing. And it was also this kind of handmade noodle workshop in the early days, which shows that it is easy to make money when this market goes right.

"Sell it first!" Kou Xi said with a smile: "But you are the retail price, if the unit is on the market, it will definitely not be this money." ”

Huo Dagui nodded: "How much did you say it should be sold, it is more appropriate?"

Kou Xi said: "Your pound of flour is one and a half cents, and you can sell it for one cent, six and one cent, and seven cents." ”

Huo Dagui asked rhetorically: "Then I didn't do it for nothing?"

"One pound of noodles can produce four taels of noodles per pound, and you can earn more when the amount is large. Kou Xi took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Huo Dagui: "I'll give you two cents a pack of these twenty packs, and I'll sell them for three cents to give it a try." ”

Huo Dagui waved his hand: "That's not good, you can't do this." You can take it to your unit and sell it, and this will be our family experiment. ”

"One stroke is one stroke, and you also saw my mother's attitude. She has to see the money back before she can mobilize everyone to do it together. Kou Xi handed Huo Dagui four yuan.

"Although you only made a dollar of five, I also took risks. I don't know when I'll be able to earn those two dollars, and if it doesn't sell well, I'll have to reduce the price. Kou Xi likes to put the words in front: "The purchase price is set, don't care how much others sell." In the future, when someone comes to buy it at home, your price should also be consistent. ”

Huo Dagui understands this truth!
