Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold

When Jiang Yulou and Ma Xiao arrived in Yangping County, it was already dark, it was time to get off work in the city, and there were more vendors in the "bazaar".

It's just that although there are hawkers, there will never be a shouting voice, after all, it is still the era of cracking down on speculation.

The two glanced at each other and quietly found a vacant seat to set up a stall.

He took a piece of cloth from his bicycle and spread it on the ground, then put two snakeskin pockets of red mushrooms on the ground, and took some from the bag and laid them on the cloth.

What he sells, he always has to be seen by customers.

Then, he saw that a boiling water house in the distance had been lit, and he took a basin and asked for some cold water.

When everything was ready, he soaked the dried red mushrooms in cold water.

As mentioned earlier, when red mushrooms are soaked in water, the water will turn red and the aroma will emerge after ten or twenty minutes.

All this is his preparation for selling red mushrooms.

While there was still time, he handed over the stall to Ma Xiao to watch, and went to other stalls by himself.

There are meat and vegetables sold in the market, mainly pork, beef and mutton.

After asking the price, he also had a number in mind.

In terms of meat, the price of pork is a little lower, the price of mutton is about the same as pork, and beef is more expensive than much.

In this era, pork is also in demand, and ordinary people have to weigh their wallets if they want to eat it.

See if you have enough meat tickets.

As for vegetables, the "bazaar" mainly sells Chinese cabbage, tomatoes and potatoes.

The prices of these main vegetables are relatively cheap, among which Chinese cabbage costs five cents a catty, which is unimaginable in later generations.

Turning around, Jiang Yulou thought that the time was almost up, and it was time to go back to the stall, otherwise Ma Xiao would be in a hurry.

After going back, Jiang Yulou looked at the red mushrooms soaked in water in the basin.

After more than ten minutes of soaking, the red mushrooms have swelled up, and they look very good, and the water in the basin has also turned red at this time, and you can faintly smell the fragrance emanating from the basin.

At this time, Jiang Yulou was relieved.

Slowly, there were some customers on the stall.

Jiang Yulou, who came, would introduce them to the scientific name, origin, identification method and nutritional value of red mushrooms.

Although it took a lot of talking, the good thing is that the effect is not bad.

The customers who came basically bought some, Jiang Yulou's price is not expensive, it is only three cents per catty, and it is sold for two cents and five cents when encountering bargaining.

He has no capital to trade, even if he sells a dime or a catty, he will make money.

Not to mention two cents and five, it's enough to buy two taels of pork.

Although it is completely incomparable with when he used to do business, he must also distinguish the situation!

In this day and age, a few cents are precious.

The more you sell and the more you earn, the sooner you can change the fate of yourself and those around you.

finally made money, looking at the pitiful few gross tickets in his hand, Jiang Yulou was happier than earning tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands in his previous life.

Different times, different difficulties in doing business, many things cannot be generalized.

For him, earning his first money is the first step to success.

"Louzi, we made money!"

Ma Xiao looked at the money in Jiang Yulou's hand, and his mouth opened wide.

"This is the beginning, you look at it, with a good start, I can sell all the goods in my hand today."

Ma Xiao is happy, and Jiang Yulou is also happy.

The difficulties are only temporary, as long as he gets through the immediate difficulties, when his manuscript is received and he gets the manuscript fee, everything will be on the right track.

Sure enough, after the first business got off to a good start, there were more customers in the back.

People in the city have never eaten red mushrooms, so they naturally want to try them.

I definitely won't buy more, but you have one pound, I have two pounds, and soon the two of them will close the stall.

Get on the scales and collect the money.

It was the first time Ma Xiao had seen business so easy.

In fact, it is not only them, but the other stalls in the "bazaar" are doing equally well.

It was this time that Ma Xiao had the idea of doing business in his heart.

After selling the red mushrooms, the sky was completely dark, and the two didn't dare to stay for a long time, let alone spread out to calculate how much today's income was, but hurriedly packed up the stall and hurriedly rode back!

In this era, there are not strict crackdowns, but there are many street slickers in the county, who really dare to grab money, and the two don't want to cause trouble, so they naturally want to leave quickly.

After stepping on the pedals to smoke, the two finally rushed back to the village.

When I got home, I was safe.

After parking the car, Jiang Yulou loosened the pocket that had been holding tightly, took out a large handful of change and food stamps, one by one, and counted them five or six times.

Ma Xiao's eyes next to him were about to pop out.

It's not that he hasn't seen money, he's seen more money and spent it. However, the money in front of me has its own share, and the money I earn is not the same as the money given by my family.

Jiang Yulou smiled: "Guess how much money we made on this trip?" ”

"I guess, I guess, five, or six?" Ma Xiao's smile couldn't be stopped, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack.

"Conservative, guess more." Jiang Yulou didn't sell Guanzi either, and directly announced the data: "Thirty catties of red mushrooms, we sold a total of seven yuan, two cents and five cents, in addition to one catty of meat stamps and two catties of food stamps." Ma Xiao, this time we really sent it! ”

"So much!" Ma Xiao was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

His family is also rich, and he earns only six or seven yuan a day.

But these six or seven dollars are also a lot of effort for the old nose.

Jiang Yulou saw the whole business in his eyes, it was too easy, which was the reason why he was surprised.

"Seven yuan a day, seventy yuan a day, seven hundred a hundred days, Louzi, we can earn more than two thousand a year!"

Ma Xiao excitedly leaned into Jiang Yulou's ear and whispered, although he had returned to the village, he was still afraid of being heard by others.

This is not a small amount of money, it is better to keep a low profile.

Jiang Yulou was also happy, seven yuan was not a small amount of money for the Jiang family. Especially at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge amount of money.

However, although he was happy, he did not get carried away.

He said regretfully: "Don't dream, it's okay to make a small amount of money, but it's impossible to make a lot of money." At most, in a month, we have competitors. ”

"Can it only be done for a month?" Ma Xiao was a little regretful, such an easy business was really not so simple: "But it is a lot to earn more than two hundred a month." ”

Of course, there are more, and if two people divide equally, one person can also get more than 100, which is equivalent to two or three months' wages for people in the city.

After counting the money, it was the turn to divide the money.

Jiang Yulou divided the money into two parts, one more and one less. He wanted the lesser portion, because he wanted meat stamps and food stamps.

Just when he sent the hand with the money out, he was pushed back by Ma Xiao.

Jiang Yulou was stunned, "Ma Xiao......"

"Louzi, your family is more difficult than mine, and you need this money more." Ma Xiao said firmly.

Jiang Yulou said: "I said that I made money and averaged it, you can't let me break my word." ”

"I don't want to, you can divide me when the general account is settled, and now I will lend these to you." Ma Xiao blinked.

"Good brother!"

Jiang Yulou's eyes were red, and he hugged Ma Xiao heavily.

At this time, which family in the countryside did not have two or three children, which family had a better life than which family, and who was not short of money. Ma Xiao is willing to lend him money, this is love, he has to admit it!

Who is good to you and who is bad to you, how can Jiang Yulou, who is a person in two lives, not understand.

There is only kindness in return.

Ma Xiao pushed him away, and said with disgust: "We are good brothers in a pair of pants, what is this, when did you become hypocritical." ”

Jiang Yulou nodded heavily, in short, he wrote down Ma Xiao's affection.
