25. Buying and Selling

The next day, Zhang Yu and Yingzi took their younger brothers and sisters to buy everything they needed for steamed steamed buns.

I bought two stoves, a second-hand board car. A hundred briquettes, as well as rice, flour, oil, tables, steamers, and some things needed at home.

Anyway, to buy these things, they made several trips.

The basic things needed at home are all ready, and it cost more than 300 yuan in total.

More than 300 yuan bought all the belongings of the family, the money at this time is really valuable, and every penny is of great use, unlike later generations, 10,000 yuan can't buy many things.

But Yingzi and Erniu were very distressed that they had spent so much money, in their eyes, Zhang Yu spent money like a loser, like a stove, buying two in one go, and they couldn't stop it.

On the last trip, it was a briquette, Yingzi pulled the cart in front, and the three sisters and brothers of the Zhang family pushed it behind.

They talked as they walked.

Yingzi was puzzled: "Girl, why are you so familiar with the streets of this city, but I can't tell where it is, if I were alone, I would definitely get lost."

The second girl also said: "Yes! There are a lot of streets here, and they are exactly the same, and after turning two streets, you don't know which side of your home is on. ”

"Look, remember the name of the street, it's here, and there's a big building next to it, remember the name on it, and the street will be remembered."

"Big girl, you have a really good memory, and you're quite smart, and you remember every street in this way."

Zhang Yu said to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you know what's the use of learning to read and write, right?" I don't know how to read, and I can't find my way home when I go out. ”

Xiaobao raised her pink little face.

"Last night, the second sister taught me seven words, size, baby, Zhang, and niu, and the second sister's second, I can now write the name of the eldest sister and the second sister, as well as my name."

"Wow! That's amazing, isn't it? In one night, I learned seven words, Xiaobao's learning ability is leveraged, and the second girl is not bad, let her teach three words a day, she actually taught seven words, and also taught, all good. ”

Xiaobao said proudly: "Sister, how am I doing today?" Be good! ”

"Good boy! Help us do the work. ”

"Isn't it quite obedient?"

"Yes! Really obedient. ”

"That'...... Does the obedient baby have candy to eat? ”

"Of course! Moreover, when I go back today, I will steam steamed buns and eat them, which is enough. ”

"Eldest sister, what does it mean to be enough, can I eat two steamed buns?"

"Yes! Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to work! In the future, you and Erniu will not only have to complete the study tasks well, but also help with the work at home. ”

When you get to the city, what kind of work is there! No farming, no pigs, chickens, and pig weed.

"In the future, the work at home is to wash clothes, wash dishes, make noodles, and steam steamed buns, all of which must be done by help."

"What's this, when you are in the village, you not only have to do the work in the field, but also cut the grass and feed the pigs and chickens, and these jobs are not a problem."

Erniu: "Yes! These were all done before, but now there is less work in the fields and feeding pigs and chickens, which saves a lot of trouble. ”

Heck, it is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and this time it is really realized.

The children of this era, although the material conditions are poor, are very diligent and strong, and there should be no youthful rebellious period! Not to mention depression at every turn, jumping off the building, committing suicide, and those famous halls.

It seems that it is not so difficult to bring up children.

When I got home, I was so hungry that I boiled some porridge to eat to fill my stomach, and then I started steaming steamed buns.

Because Yingzi's steamed steamed buns are the most delicious, let her get them, and everyone cooperates with her, calling noodles and noodles, and burning fires.

Wait for the first pot of steamed buns to steam out, fragrant.

Zhang Yu took one out, and everyone shared it, and they all said it was delicious.

Zhang Yu said: "Otherwise, let's take these steamed buns to the hospital gate and sell them now."

To be honest, she was full of confidence in setting up a stall to sell steamed buns before, but when it came to the end, she was a little apprehensive in her heart.

On the contrary, Yingzi and her younger siblings are very excited, and finally, the time has come for them to make money.

They counted them, and there were thirty-six steamed buns in total.

They carried the steamed buns to the cart along with the steamer.

At this time, they knew why when they came back just now, Zhang Yu asked them to wash the board car.

They used a cart to pull the steamed basket to the entrance of the hospital.

At this time, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the family who had sold steamed buns at the entrance of the hospital had already gone home, so only Zhang Yu and they were there to sell.

The four of them stood behind the steamer, watching the passers-by coming and going at the entrance of the hospital, as well as the people entering and leaving the hospital, hoping that the first person to buy steamed buns would appear.

I probably waited five minutes!

A man in his thirties came out of the hospital in a hurry, saw the steamer at the door, stopped and asked, "What is this selling?"

Zhang Yu opened the steamer, and the aroma of steaming steamed buns was fragrant.

"Steamed buns, big and fragrant, buy one!"

"How much is it?"

"Two taels of food stamps plus one dime, no food stamps, one dime and five cents."

"Bring me five."

He handed over a pound of food stamps plus five cents.

At this time, there were no plastic food bags, Zhang Yu took out a piece of yellow paper that had been prepared earlier, held five steamed buns and handed them to the other party.

Such yellow paper, with a faint resin fragrance, is really made of wood, a penny, cut into pieces of different sizes with scissors, the smallest two inches square, buy a steamed bun with a piece of this paper pad, clean and hygienic, buy more, use a larger paper package.

A penny of yellow paper can be padded with thirty steamed buns.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't understand why Zhang Yu bought this kind of paper and cut it small, it turned out to be for this kind of use.

"We sell food, we must pay attention to hygiene, not dirty, let others eat stomach trouble, and in this way, it also makes customers feel at ease, anyway, this paper is cheap to use, and it is hygienic and convenient."

"Girl, you are too particular, how did you think of using this kind of paper-wrapped steamed buns to sell to others?"

"That's how I see other people selling food."

Yingzi said ashamedly: "Look, when we go to the street, we only care about those colorful things that we haven't seen, and we don't see other people selling food like this, you are so careful."

While he was talking, another woman came and asked for three steamed buns.

A man and a woman came from behind and said, "Buy a few steamed buns!" Don't cook tonight. ”

They bought six.

In more than forty minutes, all their thirty-six steamed buns were sold.

A total of three dollars and eight cents were sold, and some food stamps.

Everyone won the first battle, they were very excited, they saw with their own eyes that the steamed buns they made were replaced by money, this sense of accomplishment was unprecedented, especially Yingzi and Erniu, Xiaobao, they felt the fun of making money for the first time.
