36: How much money did you make
With Xie Jingqiong's help, the crystal powder on Second Brother Jiang's side sells quickly, and the two large baskets of vermicelli can't be eaten in a single Wangjia Village, there are too few people to buy them, and the purchasing power of the countrymen is limited.
They went to several other places and did not return home until late in the evening.
"Sister-in-law!"
The second daughter-in-law has been waiting for a long time, and yesterday several younger brothers and daughters-in-law were busy making starch to produce vermicelli, and stayed up late to sleep, otherwise they would be with Xie Jingqiong today.
At this time, when I saw Xie Jingqiong coming back, the water was served, and the things were picked up, and even the children all ran over to work around her.
"Auntie, are you tired? Sit down and rest, San'er will pinch your feet! ”
Xiao San moved a small bench and made a gesture to help Xie Jingqiong slipper, so frightened that Xie Jingqiong hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it.
"No, no, the eldest aunt is not tired, but your second uncle, his mouth is dry, you can quickly bring him some water."
It's so deceitful, these children are so filial to her, the eldest aunt.
At this time, the second daughter-in-law lifted the white cloth pressed on the earthen basket, and stared at her eyes in surprise: "Sister-in-law, have we sold all those noodles?" ”
Mrs. Jiang came out of the kitchen, thinking in her heart, Xie Jingqiong must be tired and hungry after going out for a long day, and the family helped her keep food, which was just right to be brought out at this time.
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but take two quick steps: "Ouch, it's really sold?" All sold? ”
Xie Jingqiong's cheeks flushed, she immediately nodded, reached out and touched it, and took out a wad of money wrapped in an old handkerchief in her pocket.
There are even a few smaller food stamps and cloth stamps, all of which have been earned today.
"Mother, look, Qiongqiong is making money!" She said happily to Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to hold her face and kiss her: "Our Qiongqiong is really capable!" ”
"No, add two more dishes at night, the second one's family, let's take a walk, I just collected a wave of autumn beans from the ground today, let's stew the beans, and then give your sister-in-law a scrambled egg to eat."
"Done!"
The second daughter-in-law happily responded.
……
The third and fourth came back late, and the third and third noodles were all sold out, which is amazing, and he has a good mouth, he laughs when he meets people, and he has a hidden business acumen, and this small business is going well.
The fourth child's noodles were not sold out, but only half a basket was left, and compared to the third child, he was slightly inferior in this regard.
But he has a smart mind and is quick to settle accounts.
In the evening, after everyone finished eating, they piled all the money together, Xie Jingqiong, Mrs. Jiang, and several younger brothers and daughters-in-law, each holding a small pile in their hands, crackling and counting the banknotes, while the children were counting the steel hammers on the side.
"Auntie, auntie, I'm a piece of nine cents on my side!"
"I'm six cents here!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm five yuan and three cents and four here!"
"I'm ...... here"
The vermicelli doesn't weigh it, it is light to pick up, even if it is only one or two catties, it looks like a big bundle.
Eighteen or nineteen pounds can fill a bag of hemp.
Today, they picked out a total of six baskets and sold five and a half baskets, which can add up to more than 100 catties.
In addition, the price of their place is low, and the noodles on the market are three cents and two pounds, but they are handmade and sold cheaper.
For example, the third child met a particularly ruthless bargain today, and he actually pressed the price at two cents and a half.
But no matter what, now all the money in everyone's hands adds up, and it is a full twenty-eight yuan four!
"Oh my god!"
Mrs. Jiang stared at her eyes and looked shocked, "Twenty-eight yuan four, just one day, we earned twenty-eight yuan?" ”
"It's almost thirty, and it's enough to catch up with a month's salary for those workers in the city!"
"Even some employees only earn 20 yuan a month, which is not as much as we earn in a day."
The old lady was dizzy.
Think this is incredible?
The fourth child next to him muttered quietly: "Mother, we still have to deduct the cost, we have cut a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes before, and those sweet potatoes and potatoes are also worth a lot of money, and the cost must account for at least one-third of ......."
So the actual income is about eighteen or nineteen yuan.
And this money is not all from their Lao Jiang family.
This vermicelli workshop can be opened because it has to lead everyone to generate income, so it has to be declared in the brigade when it comes back.
According to what Old Man Jiang and Captain Li Quanguo discussed privately at the beginning, their old Jiang family can get 30%, that is, five or six yuan, because of their contributions, and the rest will be divided equally between everyone in the brigade.
But......
"Five or six yuan, that's a lot!"
The old lady felt like she had picked up a big pie.
You must know that the price of goods in their place is low, and in addition, one cent of work in Qingshantun is worth three cents, and usually a middle-aged laborer gets ten cents and only earns three cents a day.
Lao Jiang's family has a large population, but even if they all work in the fields, it will only cost two or three yuan a day.
Doing this noodle business is far more than they can earn more money than working in the fields, almost twice as much.
And making vermicelli at home is definitely not as hard as working up and down, so her Lao Jiang family really makes a lot of money!
"Let's go," Old man Jiang was also in good spirits, and immediately took out a rusty iron box, stuffed all the money and tickets into the box, and then carried this box, took Jiang Lao's second and third Jiang's sons, and several people went to find the captain Li Quanguo together.
When Li Quanguo learned about this, he was confused.
"What, buy them all?"
"Those six baskets of vermicelli, one basket has to be twenty catties, and the total is one hundred and twenty catties, and they were all sold?"
The captain thought it was incredible.
Old man Jiang was not smiling, and he was serious by nature, but at the moment he had a little look on his face, "I didn't sell them all, I sold them for five and a half baskets." ”
The captain hissed, "That's pretty much it!" ”
When Old Man Jiang took out the iron box and stuffed all the money and tickets in it to the captain, the captain smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
"Okay!"
He immediately tapped up, took out thirty percent, and stuffed it into Old Man Jiang's hand.
"Uncle Jiang, your family is tired, come, this is your family!"
Old man Jiang's waist was straight, and his spirit was different from before, so he didn't shirk.
Turning around and holding the five yuan and eight cents he had received, Old Man Jiang's eyes lit up.
"Let's go, let's go home!"
He was full of energy, thinking in his heart, the autumn harvest was almost over, the sky was completely cold, and Zhan Ting's daughter-in-law had no cotton clothes.
After making so much money today, it is better to use it to buy cotton and let his wife make clothes for Zhan Ting's daughter-in-law for the winter.
Thinking like this, the old man walked more and more briskly.
Xie Jingqiong didn't know anything about this.
As soon as the door closed in the evening, she immediately slipped into the space, entered the bathroom and comfortably took a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and even put on a hydrating mask.
The climate here is too dry, and she's actually a little uncomfortable.
At night, I got into the soft bed covered with Simmons mattresses, took out a batch of CD tapes that I accidentally bought from the video market, and cozily chased a drama, and there was a glass of bedtime red wine on the bedside table.
Well, she felt that this little day was so beautiful!
However, the next day, as soon as Xie Jingqiong went out, she bumped into a man.
"Sister Qiong'er......"
