Chapter 15: Replenishment

On the way back, Xu Heping pedaled the bicycle vigorously, shouting all the way, and his excitement was overflowing.

"Thirty copies, a full thirty copies, all of them were sold, it's really amazing. I thought about what to do if you couldn't sell so much left, but I didn't expect it to be sold out. ”

"I said peace, can you read me well."

Not in a hurry to go back, Xu An stared at the footrest slowly, and followed Xu Heping not far away.

"Hehe, this isn't the first time I've done business. I always heard my parents say that business is not easy to do, but it is not so difficult to see you. ”

"It's different, I'm making a little fuss, and your parents call it business."

"It doesn't make a difference, it's all about selling things to others."

“......”

In fact, Xu An didn't know what mood he was in now, some excited, some emotional, some trance and those traces of disbelief.

With the help of Uncle Dongliang, he easily took the first step.

As long as you take this step, as long as you do it down-to-earth and don't think crookedly, this business can be regarded as standing.

The paper skin prepared improvised before going out also made a great contribution, and many people were attracted by the food written on it.

But you can't always change a piece of paper every day, and there are not so many paper sheets to change at home. You have to change a whiteboard that can erase the handwriting, and you can wipe it and write it before you leave every day.

There are not many boxes left, so I have to go to the wholesale market to replenish them. When I was cooking this morning, I realized that there were still a lot of things missing in the kitchen, such as large basins for serving vegetables, colanders, etc., which I also had to buy.

The car of the two turned to the entrance of the wholesale market, and the entrance was a dry goods stall, where there was still a lot of traffic.

But the further you go, the fewer people there are, and when you walk to the meat stall, there are only two or three big cats and kittens left, and the door of the store is either swatting flies or dozing off.

Xu An walked to the bald Chen's stall, took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Boss Chen, why is there so little traffic here?" ”

The bald Chen woke up from his sleep, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and took the cigarette in a daze with his eyes half-open.

"It's you, boy." The bald Chen recognized Xu An: "Hey, since the store over there opened, there have been more than half fewer people who come to the wholesale market to buy meat, and the few are those small owners who open restaurants, which is not deserted." ”

Xu An didn't want to take this topic rashly, and directly explained the purpose of his coming here.

"Boss, leave me fifteen catties of fat and lean pork tomorrow morning, and get it at about the same time as this morning."

"Don't do it now, if you want it today, you'll lose five cents per catty." The bald Chen took out two pieces of meat from the freezer and showed them to Xu An: "Look at this meat, it all meets your requirements." ”

"I don't have a refrigerator at home, and now it's so hot, it's going to be bad tomorrow."

"There's no way around without a refrigerator." The bald Chen put the meat back in the freezer, closed the freezer door, took out the banknote and wrote: "If you book fifteen catties, you have to give a deposit of twenty, if you don't want this deposit, it will not be refunded, but you can keep it for the next time you buy it." ”

"Okay." Xu An took out twenty yuan and handed it to the bald Chen.

"How many phone numbers, leave a phone number?"

Xu An's house did not install fixed electricity, and in the past, the contact person relied on Xu's father's PHS or neighbor's phone.

But Xu's father's PHS has always been carried with him, and when he fell, he broke it and couldn't use it at all.

When Xu An was about to say that he would not leave the phone, Xu Heping reported a string of numbers on the side.

"I'm with him, if you call me about anything, I'll tell him again."

The bald Chen glanced at Xu An, and seeing that he had no objection, he wrote the string of numbers that Xu Heping said on the order.

"In duplicate, come here tomorrow morning with this receipt."

Before a few people could speak, Xu Kang and Xu Le got under the counter, looked intently at the bald Chen's two big flower arms, and whispered in a voice that everyone present could hear.

"What's on this hand of the bald uncle?"

"I know, it's stickers!" Xu Kang sighed as an adult: "With so many stickers, how much do you get, a loser." ”

"yes, loser."

As soon as I heard these words, I knew that I learned them from Grandma Xu, and they imitated them vividly.

The bald Chen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, his eyes widened and he pulled out a grimace to scare the two: "I heard you say bad things about me, and the bald uncle is very angry and wants to eat you." ”

The two of them were so frightened that they fled back behind Xu An, buried their heads under Xu An's clothes, and kept muttering 'Uncle Bald is so scary'.

After Xu An said sorry to the bald Chen, he patted the two behind him and went to the daily necessities area with Xu Heping.

Scraps were replenished with a bunch of packing boxes and kitchen utensils, which cost almost a hundred.

When passing by the vegetable market, there were still a few scattered vegetable stalls inside, Xu An got out of the car and went inside to take a look.

The output of the vegetable garden at home in the next few days has been finished by myself at one time today, and the vegetables will also be bought in the vegetable market.

Vegetables depreciate more and more over time after they are plucked from the ground, and if they cannot be sold today, most of them will not be sold tomorrow.

Therefore, at this point in time, the vegetables on the vegetable stalls are very cheap.

After picking things up, Xu An came out with two and a half winter melons. The two halves of winter melon add up to a total of twelve catties, three cents and one catty, a total of three pieces and six cents.

After such a purchase, the tricycle is already full. There is no place for the two winter melons, so they can only be put in Xu Kang and Xu Le's arms and let the two of them hold them.

When he returned home, Xu Heping wanted to leave to play with the children in the village, but was stopped by Xu An.

Xu An took out a small cloth bag, which contained the money earned from selling boxed lunches, a total of two hundred and forty yuan, a lot.

The cost of each lunch box is six yuan, one box lunch earns two yuan, and the net profit of 30 box lunches is only 60 yuan.

Xu Heping saw the number Xu An calculated, his eyes widened, and his face was in disbelief.

He thought that he could have at least half of the profit, but after deducting the cost, it was only a quarter of the profit, plus the labor costs, and he really made a lot of money.

Xu An is quite content, sixty yuan is not too little, enough to meet the income of the vegetable garden when it is at its highest yield.

He took out eighteen yuan from the pile of profits and handed it to Xu Heping: "You have also helped a lot before and after, and you have also contributed your family's tricycle, just as you are a shareholder with people and tools, and you will be divided into thirty." ”

Xu Heping pushed the money back.

"It's not that you don't know my family, my parents are a little picky on me, but if you want to do business, you will still give money, and I don't miss this money."

Xu An's face was solemn, and he was about to speak, but Xu Heping spoke first.

"It's my brother's account again, right, my tricycle will be sold to you as a second-hand one, count one hundred and sixteen, and wait until the end of the month to settle it, okay?"

Well, it sounds like that.

But Xu Heping's behavior can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, without his tricycle, his bicycle may not be able to support the stall, and it is definitely inappropriate to calculate it according to the price of a second-hand tricycle.

"Since you don't want to count it as a stake cooperation, then..."

"One hundred and eighty pieces of grinding and chirping." Xu Heping rolled his eyes at Xu An, and said angrily: "If you really have a troubled conscience, when will you earn eight thousand dollars, give me ten times the money, and give me one thousand and six lines directly when the time comes?" ”

"Okay."

Xu An nodded, took the money back, and made such a note in the account book.

"I'll come back to you tomorrow morning." Xu Heping saw that Xu An didn't say anything about it anymore, waved his hand and left.

Grandma Xu turned her head sideways in the house and listened to the movement from the courtyard outside, and after hearing that the two of them had really completed the business and earned sixty yuan, her expression became a little complicated.

She was able to promise Xu An that if she could earn 20,000 yuan, she would not go to college, but she felt that this requirement was too high and Xu An could not meet it.

The college students who graduated from the village and worked in the city only earned two or three thousand a month. Two and a half months of 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand, how can a child who has just graduated from high school earn this money.

Although 60 a day is a lot, it is still far from 20,000 yuan. The money I earned is just enough to cover my living expenses for college.
