Chapter 251: Eye-catching
In the next few days, Wang Manyin kept shuttling between the Shibi Festival and the county seat.
As expected, the first batch of thousands of catties of spiced melon seeds was quickly sold out. Excluding various costs, the profit is more than 200 yuan.
This kind of income makes Orchid both happy and afraid.
It's not like she hasn't seen money...... Earlier, he sold scorpions at home and could earn hundreds of yuan a year. But the key is that the money comes faster, from the husband started to fry melon seeds to sell out, but it took ten days.
At this rate, it is 700 yuan a month, and you can earn nearly 10,000 yuan a year.
What if someone comes to the commune and arrests her husband?
At dinner in the evening, she couldn't help but voice her concerns.
Wang Manyin laughed and comforted when he heard this: "Don't worry, our family is not without backers......"
After listening to her husband's words, Orchid remembered that Runye's second father was not ordinary now, and her worries were finally alleviated by three points.
After eating, Wang Manyin couldn't rest, and entered the cave next door to continue frying spiced melon seeds.
A few days ago, he saw that the sales of spiced melon seeds were booming, and he immediately found Han Zhong's brother-in-law Li Jianming to order raw sunflower seeds. This time the amount is even larger, three thousand catties at a time.
Li Jianming was also surprised when he came to the door. Fortunately, the oil mill has sufficient raw materials to meet the demand.
Tonight, this batch of spiced melon seeds is fried, and it will be bagged overnight and sent to the county seat tomorrow morning.
Orchid is doing things with three little guys alone, and the speed is not fast at all. If this continues, it is estimated that I will have to stay up until two or three o'clock.
Wang Manyin thought about it and asked Wang Lei to go to the opposite side of the deep ditch to call the three Maodan brothers and sisters over to help.
It is said that the two sons of Wang Qiusheng's family have no life to study. After graduating from elementary school, the eldest hairy egg stopped studying. Shi barely finished junior high school in the village, and his grades were a mess.
This guy was able to go to junior high school, thanks to the rules of the early years: "You don't go out of the team when you go to junior high school, and you don't go out of the club when you go to high school."
In line with the trend, Jar Village set up a junior high school class in the village primary school. After graduating from primary school, children in the village can enter junior high school classes as long as they are willing to continue their education.
In fact, not only the canzi village, but also many villages in the Shibijie Commune have run junior high schools.
As for the level of teaching, there is no need to say much.
Of course, Wang Qiusheng's Xiao Nizi is an exception.
This woman is completely different from her two older brothers, and her academic performance is quite good. Now she is in her second year of junior high school, and she is one of the best in her class in every exam. Look at it like this, it looks like a person who can make it.
With the addition of the three Mao Dan siblings, the speed increased sharply.
At just half past ten, more than 300 bags of spiced melon seeds have been packaged.
When sending the three of them away, Wang Manyin specially filled a bowl full of spiced melon seeds and asked them to take them back to eat.
Early the next morning, Wang Manyin took a bus to the county seat as usual.
Every time you get in the car, you have to be in a hurry, and you have to stop and go all the way. Seventy miles, almost two hours. In addition, it is also troublesome to move goods back and forth. He was already thinking about when he would go to Huangyuan City to buy condiments, and ask Dong Gang to help get a motorcycle, so that the delivery would be more convenient.
The popular light riding black eagle on the market is the earliest moped brand in China, which began to be put into production as early as the sixties.
Its shape and function sit somewhere between a motorcycle and a bicycle – it's designed with the bike's pedals retained, a 1.5 hp engine, a manual second gear, and a top speed of 40 km/h. When the tank is empty, it can also be driven on foot.
And the load of this motorcycle also meets Wang Manyin's needs, and it is completely fine to carry one or two hundred catties of goods. The key is cheap, only more than 700 yuan for one.
Some time ago, when he went to Huangyuan City to run errands, he saw many staff on the street riding black eagles. With Dong Gang's help, it shouldn't be a big problem to get one.
What Wang Manyin didn't know was that the fact that he had brought back thousands of catties of raw sunflower seeds one after another had caused quite a stir in the Shibijie Commune, and even caused some people to be blushing.
In the morning, not long after Xu Zhigong entered the office, the person in charge of the grain station came over to report: "Director Xu, I recently received a reaction from the masses that Wang Manyin of Jar Village poured thousands of catties of sunflower seeds, which are oil crops. According to the regulations, it is not allowed to buy and sell in large quantities! ”
After Bai Mingchuan was transferred to the county, the staff positions of the Shibijie Commune also underwent considerable changes. The deputy director, Xu Zhigong, officially served as the director of the Shibijie Commune, and Shao'an's classmate Liu Genmin, who was originally a clerk, has now become the deputy director.
Xu Zhigong is vigorous and resolute, mainly highlighting the word "ruthless". In the early years, when he was engaged in infrastructure construction, a "tigress" in Niujiagou did not obey the management, Xu Zhigong was ruthless, and kept letting the other party do heavy work, and finally caused heavy bleeding and almost lost his life.
After this move, many people were shocked.
Of course, sometimes he is also very flexible. When Shuangshui Village was preparing to approve Tian Ertian Fushun, Xu Zhigong hurriedly asked what it had to do with Tian Futang. After knowing that the two of them couldn't hit each other, he breathed a sigh of relief.
So when he heard the name Wang Manyin, Xu Zhigong's face immediately became serious: "Wang Manyin of Jar Village, I have an impression." He really poured thousands of pounds of sunflower seeds...... What do you want to do? ”
"I heard that it is fried melon seeds, and in recent days, I have been selling them in the county, one or two hundred catties each time."
"Fry thousands of catties of melon seeds, can you sell them?" Xu Zhigong asked in surprise again, and then said, "Old Zhou, I know about this." Now it has long been liberalized and small business is allowed. Besides, people sell fried melon seeds, not secretly sell oil, how can it be the same? ”
"That'...... Just don't care? The stationmaster of the grain station asked a little unwillingly.
"Whatever, I don't care about your salty radish at the grain station. If you want to catch those who secretly sell grain, what's the trouble with you finding a person who sells fried melon seeds? Xu Zhigong reprimanded people with his head and face.
After the stationmaster left, he took out the newspaper on the table and looked at it. There happened to be a report above, which specifically mentioned Tian Fujun's speech after taking up his post in the region.
If someone else sells sunflower seeds, of course he will deal with it severely.
This Wang Manyin is different......
When he was engaged in large-scale infrastructure construction, Xu Zhigong lived in Shuangshui Village for a period of time, so he was more clear about the kinship of Tian Futang's family. The other party's eldest woman married Sun Shao'an, the son of Sun Yuhou in the same village. And Wang Manyin of Jar Village is Sun Yuhou's eldest son-in-law.
This relative is even a relative, what if he deals with it himself and gets into trouble.
In addition, he also took care of Bai Mingchuan. When the two of them teamed up before, the other party had mentioned Wang Manyin many times, and they appreciated it very much.
So Xu Zhigong thought about it again and again and decided to turn a blind eye.
Tian Fujun's family in the former West County is also talking about spiced melon seeds at the moment.
Tian Fujun worked in Huangyuan City for a short time, and finally took a day to go back to Yuanxi to move his home.
When he comes back this time, he plans to bring his family with him.
When he returned home and saw his wife and daughter, Tian Fujun was a little more relaxed, sitting on the sofa and chatting.
As a result, he turned his head and saw his daughter Tian Xiaoxia holding a bag of melon seeds, and a peculiar fragrance rushed to his nostrils.
"You, you snack all day long. Eat less, the melon seeds are salty......"
"Dad, this one is different, it's spiced melon seeds. It just appeared in the county a few days ago, and it was very popular. I finally bought it, you taste it, it tastes good. ”
Listening to his daughter's strong recommendation, Tian Fujun pinched it casually. As soon as he put the melon seeds in his mouth, he immediately felt a familiar salty taste.
Almost subconsciously, Tian Fujun picked up the package and looked at it carefully.
Seeing a line of small characters printed under the brown paper bag, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Fried melon seeds, he really made it,"
"Dad, do you know a manufacturer that produces fried melon seeds?" Tian Xiaoxia asked curiously.
"It's not a food factory, it's just a small workshop, you know this person."
"Who?"
"Shaoping's brother-in-law, Wang Manyin of Jar Village, has been to our house a few times. If you look at the production address written here, it is the Jar Village of Shibijie Commune. Tian Fujun pointed to the bottom line of small characters with some excitement and explained.
For Wang Manyin, he was very impressed.
Especially after hearing that the other party planned to use fried melon seeds to make a career, Tian Fujun had more expectations in his heart.
He originally wanted to encourage the other party, but he didn't expect that others would already do it. And listening to her daughter's statement, it seems that it sells very well in the county.
"Shaoping's brother-in-law is not simple, I didn't look at the address, I thought it was made by a big food factory." Tian Xiaoxia couldn't help but admire.
The father and daughter were talking when they heard a voice coming from outside the door, but it was the county staff who came to visit.
Tian Fujun's heart moved, and he could mention Wang Manyin's matter by the way.
***
Wang Manyin did not expect that with the hot sale of spiced melon seeds in the county, more and more people have paid attention. Even the vendors of other communes in Yuanxi County also got the news and came to the door one after another to buy goods.
Wang Manyin naturally would not refuse. He left the production address on the packaging bag, which is the idea of this.
However, he now has to deliver goods to the county seat every day, plus fried melon seeds, and he can't be busy at all.
Don't mention anything else...... Just carrying water every day tosses Wang Manyin enough.
Soaking sunflower seeds, daily water for the family of five, plus poultry and livestock raised in the yard, requires at least 10 buckets of water a day.
Five round trips, it takes more than an hour.
So when the day is over, Wang Manyin plans to find a well-drilling team to get a pressurized water well in the courtyard as soon as possible.
In addition, the fried melon seeds are bagged every night, and the orchids and the three children are tired enough.
Wang Manyin wanted to make money, but he didn't plan to work tirelessly every day. After discussing with Orchid, he went to visit Wang Qiusheng's house in the evening with two boxes of pastries.
"Manyin, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing him suddenly come to the door with something, Wang Qiusheng was a little surprised.
In recent years, the relationship between the two has been good. Especially the three children, they have a good impression of Wang Manyin since they were young.
Earlier, they couldn't eat enough at home, and they didn't eat much of Wang Manyin's things. Every once in a while, people will also send some pheasant and hare meat for their family to make a tooth sacrifice.
Wang Qiusheng and his family have always kept these things in their hearts, and often warned the children to be grateful. Every day, if his family makes something delicious, he will also bring a bowl and send it over.
It doesn't matter if something is good or bad, what matters is a mind.
"Brother Qiusheng, sister-in-law, there is indeed something wrong this time...... You also know that my family has been frying melon seeds recently, and I can't be busy at all. I want you and the stone to come over at night and do me a favor...... Do not delay your work during the day, work three hours a night, and pay each of you five cents. What do you think? Wang Manyin didn't plan to go around in circles, so he said what he meant directly.
He actually wanted to hire someone to work all day, but after thinking about it, he didn't open his mouth for the time being.
It mainly involves the village, which is somewhat troublesome.
Now there is no package to the household, if Wang Qiusheng and his son work for themselves all day, it is equivalent to engaging in a side business. If they go out to do a side business, Wang Lianshun will definitely pretend not to know.
But in the village, the second team has so many pairs of eyes watching, if Wang Lianshun doesn't deal with it, who is willing to work for the production team next.
Wang Manyin still wants to live in the village, and he doesn't want to make chickens and dogs jump.
As long as you work hard for a while, it will be good to wait for the package to arrive at the household, and if someone crooks their mouths, they don't care.
After hearing what he said, Xie Dongmei's eyes immediately lit up. During this time, the people in the village privately spread that Wang Manyin's family had made a fortune selling fried melon seeds. What is the specific situation, no one can say why.
Now it seems that it does make a lot of money.
One night, she gave her shopkeeper and her eldest son five cents for wages...... That's a lot. In January, the two of them can earn 30 yuan, and they don't delay going to work in the production team during the day.
This kind of beautiful thing, where would Xie Dongmei refuse.
Just before she could say yes, she heard Wang Qiusheng reply.
"Full silver, you can help, what kind of money do you want. Recently, the weaving factory has stopped accepting carpets, and we are idle at home at night......"
It was the same as Wang Manyin expected in advance. With the opening of various kinds, the members of several communes around the weaving factory began to weave corn husks.
In a very short period of time, the factory has purchased more carpets.
A few days ago, when the jar village delivered goods to Huangyuan City, they explained that they would not buy it again in a short time.
When they got the news, the villagers were disappointed.
Wang Manchu and Wang Lianshun also came to Wang Manyin to find a way.
Wang Manyin didn't have any good way...... He had already received news from Dong Gang that several other counties in the Huangyuan region had also begun to weave corn husks, and they did not sell them through weaving factories at all.
The factory is now more affected, and the number of orders itself has decreased a lot.
Because of this, the mothers-in-law and aunts of Jar Village have been in a state of idleness recently.
However, Wang Manyin will not let Wang Qiusheng and his son work for nothing. If you do this, you will make the villagers mess with the backbone later.
He smiled and said, "Brother Qiusheng, it's okay to help for a day or two." The key is that you will be like this every night in the future, and you can't always be forced to work in vain. That's it, let's start tonight! ”
Bringing the two back, Wang Manyin asked Mao Dan to help pack the bags and began to teach Wang Qiusheng to stir-fry melon seeds.
He is not afraid that the other party will set up another door after learning it...... In fact, stir-fried melon seeds do not have much technical content, it is nothing more than slow frying over low heat, and what is particular is a heat.
Even if ordinary people watch it for a long time, they can learn seven, seven, eight, eight.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many small traders and vendors selling melon seeds outside.
As for figuring out the recipe of spiced melon seeds, it is also not a difficult task.
Wang Manyin can fully predict that with the hot sale of his own spiced melon seeds, there will soon be a wave of follow-up in Yuanxi County.
That's when the real test comes in.
The quality of sunflower seed raw materials and the price of products ...... These are the keys to success or failure.
