Chapter 18 I have lost weight
Chen Meiyun didn't say anything, but felt sorry for her little daughter, and said in a low voice: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law came over this afternoon, tasted your banana chips, and said that they would help you sell them, and tomorrow you go to the city to send some to your eldest brother and sister-in-law, they have a lot of people in the market, maybe they are better than you." ”
Lin Liqing nodded vigorously, and said with some concern: "Mom, you see that now I have to sell twenty or thirty catties myself, plus the amount of the eldest brother, the second brother and the younger brother is at least fifty or sixty catties a day, and I need more than one hundred catties of fresh bananas, so many bananas can't be cut by the two of us!" ”
Chen Meiyun thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't there still your father?" If your dad can't leave, he will help cut bananas, I will roast them, and if you are really busy later, you will sell a little less, just go out for half a day, I don't want you to be so tired, and when Jianguo comes back at the end of the year, it will be decided to see the situation. ”
Speaking of Yan Jianguo, Lin Liqing was still in a trance, she hadn't thought about the bad things on the Yan family's side when she was busy doing business these days, and naturally forgot that there was such a strong labor force.
"That's fine! Let's arrange it this first, and then we'll talk about it when Jianguo comes back. ”
After discussing it, Lin Liqing went to work again.
Lin Guoan came over to place an order in the evening, the brick kiln factory asked for a total of twenty catties, and the order brought back by Lin Guoye was twelve catties, most of which were from other years, but it is also understandable that banana chips are snacks, and it is normal to eat them occasionally, and it is impossible to eat them every day.
The next day, Lin Liqing got ten catties of banana chips and sent them to Xu Hui's pork stall.
I thought that these ten catties were enough for Xu Hui to sell for a few days, but I didn't know that Xu Hui ran back to the village that day and asked Lin Liqing for fifty catties in one go, on the grounds that the banana chips could be stored and were not afraid of being bad.
However, fifty catties is only enough for Xu Hui to sell for two or three days, and she has to go back to the village every three or five times to ask Lin Liqing for goods.
After a month of tossing, the business of banana chips is now almost stable at sixty or seventy pounds a day, and the profit of one day alone is twenty-seven or eight yuan, in just one month, Lin Liqing has saved more than seven hundred, mainly because the business was unstable at the beginning and she did a free tasting activity, otherwise she could save more than eight hundred.
Lin Liqing completely explained what it means to have money in her hands and not panic, she is more and more comfortable in doing things, and she has become more confident.
What made her even happier was that she had finally gained some weight.
At the beginning of winter, there was a rare sleet in their place, saying that sleet was more like rain and hail, because of this sleet, the temperature turned on the quick-freezing mode, and Lin Liqing had to put on the padded jacket she brought back.
On this upper body, she found that the padded jacket had become larger.
I've heard of shrinking clothes these years, but I've never seen clothes stretch up, let alone padded jackets.
So she excitedly called Lin Guoye and asked Lin Guoye to call Lin Guoan, and Lin Guoan called two good brothers in the same village, and four men carried a big iron scale weighing pigs to hang her.
Seeing the gritted teeth of the four men, Lin Liqing began to doubt herself, did she lose weight and become heavier?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and at this time, Lin Guoan also reported her weight, "One hundred and fifty-three pounds." ”
Lin Liqing breathed a sigh of relief in an instant and stood on the ground with her feet.
The four men were finally able to straighten their backs.
Lin Guoye rubbed his shoulders, bared his teeth and grinned: "Second sister, how did you raise this fat?" I almost didn't crush my shoulder! ”
This was exchanged for a sneer from the three men.
"Guoye, you can't do it with bones! How can I marry a daughter-in-law in the future! ”
Lin Guoye: "....." made a mistake and forgot that there are still these hurtful people.
Lin Guoan looked at Lin Liqing distressedly, "Little sister, I remember that when you got married, it was one hundred and sixty-six pounds, the number is auspicious, why have you lost so much weight now!" ”
Lin Guoan was puzzled.
Lin Liqing looked frightened, "No, second brother!" I've been married for so many years, how can you remember it so clearly! ”
"That's it!" Lin Guoye said jealously.
Lin Guoan rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "I also carried the scale back then, can I remember!" ”
Lin Liqing: "....."
Well, she has long forgotten this black history.
When Chen Meiyun knew Lin Liqing's weight, she was so sad that tears were about to fall, "What a sin!" If it weren't for being forced by the Yan family's group of brutes, our family Liqing wouldn't have had to work so hard, and now she has lost more than a dozen pounds, how can we explain to him when Jianguo comes back! ”
"No..... No, Mom, what does it have to do with him whether I'm thin or not! Lin Liqing was a little speechless.
Why is she happy when she loses weight, and everyone else is sad, which is different from what she expected.
"You don't understand!" Chen Meiyun glanced at her little girl sadly, thinking that she still taught her too simple, but as long as she had her sister's half-distracted eyes, she would not have such a difficult time.
Lin Liqing didn't know why, so she couldn't figure it out and simply didn't want to.
The sleet was falling unexpectedly, and many families were busy repairing their houses, changing their clothes, and picking up firewood.
Lin Liqing and Chen Meiyun had to stop what they were doing and rush clothes for the three children, the eldest Yan Mingchao was better, he had a padded jacket, as long as he didn't go out, he wouldn't freeze at home, the twins wouldn't work, and they would be one year old in a few months, but they didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.
During this time, Yu Xiaoping made a lot of money by buying bananas, and knew that the twins did not have suitable cotton jackets, so she hurriedly took out the quilt cotton wool that she had saved at home, and rushed to work with Lin Liqing, and finally made a winter cotton jacket for the twins.
Seeing the twins happily crawling around on the bed, Lin Liqing felt a little sorry for the child while relaxing.
During this time, in order to make money, I didn't take good care of them.
Yu Xiaoping saw her thoughts and persuaded: "I said you don't think so much, it's better to earn a few more money with this sad kung fu, what do you want to do with money in your hand?" Even if you don't want to live with your in-laws and sisters-in-law, you can move out and live on your own, and you don't have to worry about having no money to build a house, right? ”
"Yes!" Lin Liqing nodded fiercely, got up and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'd better go to work, the weather is not good, and I don't know if the second brother and their side are affected, I must do less here." ”
If you can't go out in this kind of weather, everyone won't go out, and it's impossible to stay on the street, and there is absolutely no business to set up stalls.
The next day, the sleet had stopped, the weather was still gloomy, the northwest wind was shivering, and she didn't want to leave the house if it weren't for the motivation to make money.
I finally braved the strong northwest wind to the outside of the school, but found that there were really not many people on the road, and when the students went to school, everyone rushed to the school, and there were few people who stopped to buy snacks.
Lin Liqing sighed, waited for the school gate to close and went directly to the hospital, and stood outside the hospital gate for more than half a day before selling half of the volume.
