Unbelievable profits
The next morning, when Bian Lili returned home after cutting two baskets of pigweed, she saw Shen Yuyu at home, so she asked Shen Yuyu, "Why are you at home?" ”
"Chen Qi said that all the 200 zongzi were sold out yesterday, so let's prepare 800 zongzi for him tomorrow."
"What? Eight hundred, he's sure he can sell it? ”
"I don't know, but the quantity is his own request, we just need to make the zongzi."
Bian Lili nodded after hearing Shen Yuyu's words, and then said, "I know, I'll go and tell my sister-in-law, you go to work quickly." ”
"Okay."
After Shen Yuyu went to work, Bian Lili went to the kitchen to wash his face, took out twenty catties of glutinous rice from the space and put it in the back basket, and then walked towards Lu Xueyu's house with the back basket.
When she came to Lu Xueyu's house, she saw Lu Xueyu washing the dumpling leaves, so she said to Lu Xueyu: "Sister-in-law, come in." ”
After hearing Bian Lili's words, Lu Xueyu put down the half-washed dumpling leaves in her hand, then dried her hands with her apron, and walked towards the hall.
When she entered the hall, she saw Bian Lili carrying a large bag of things from the back basket, so she asked Bian Lili, "Lili, what are you carrying in your hand?" ”
"Glutinous rice."
"So much?"
"It's not much, it's too little, I plan to buy another twenty catties tomorrow."
Lu Xueyu was taken aback when she heard Bian Lili's words, and then she hurriedly said to Bian Lili: "Lili, don't buy it, these glutinous rice are enough to make zongzi several times." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, sit down and drink saliva first, and listen to me tell you slowly."
"Okay." After Lu Xueyu heard Bian Lili's words, she sat down opposite Bian Lili.
Then he said to Bian Lili: "You can say it." ”
Bian Lili coughed lightly after hearing Lu Xueyu's words, then took out two large unity sheets from his pocket and put them in front of Lu Xueyu, and said to Lu Xueyu: "Sister-in-law, all yesterday's zongzi were sold, and this is the money from selling zongzi." ”
"What, it's sold?"
"Well, Xiao Yu and I not only sold the zongzi, but also received a big order, so we need to pack 800 zongzi in the next two days."
"Eight...... Eight hundred? ”
"That's right, that's why I said that I bought less glutinous rice, and I probably need to buy another twenty catties of glutinous rice to make eight hundred zongzi."
Lu Xueyu gasped when she heard Bian Lili's words, and then she asked Bian Lili, "Lili, can we make a lot of money selling zongzi this time?" ”
"Yes, I calculated the cost, and we can earn fourteen yuan for two hundred zongzi."
"What? How could it be so much, would you have miscalculated? ”
"No, the price of glutinous rice is three cents a catty, the price of pork is seven cents, we used ten catties of glutinous rice and three catties of pork to wrap 200 zongzi, plus some other things, the cost is six yuan.
And we sold 200 zongzi for 20 yuan, so we made a net profit of 14 yuan. ”
After Lu Xueyu listened to Bian Lili's words, she felt like she was dreaming, they would earn fourteen yuan for two hundred zongzi, and they would earn fifty-six yuan for eight hundred zongzi.
This is equivalent to two months' wages for a city worker, and it only takes them two days to earn it, which is something she never even dared to dream of before, and now it has actually happened, it is incredible.
