The weather was hot, and the owner of the popsicle seller was much busier than expected.

Dolly waited until the children around him were gone, and then trotted over.

"Little girl, do you want to buy popsicles?" The boy who sells popsicles is swarthy, but he grins with big white teeth and smiles very friendly and happy.

He had noticed Dolly's figure before, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that she was a shy child with little money or even no money, so it took so long.

However, he didn't drive it away, but kindly gave her the ice beads that had been frozen by the cold air on the edge of the box.

Chapter 150

The little girl, though she had tried her best to find the shadow, was still flushed with the sun.

A handful of ice beads quickly turned into water under the heat and piping hot body temperature, but it still brought Dolly extremely satisfying happiness and coolness.

Dolly's fear of talking to strangers has also disappeared a lot.

"Hello brother, I want to buy popsicles." Dolly took two deep breaths and said, "Can I buy 110 popsicles for 100 copper coins?" ”

Most children of Dory's age don't know the order of numbers over ten clearly.

They had never been to school, nor had their elders and people in the vicinity gone to school.

The extent to which they receive knowledge comes only from the experience of child labour.

And these tasks such as settling accounts and managing money will not be handed over to child labor.

Dolly will be more than a hundred digits in order and size, all because the family has more money.

Brothers, sisters, and parents almost all take back the day's salary, and count the remuneration of the pasted paper box together.

Over and over again, over and over again.

The eldest brother and the second sister are regular workers, so after counting the money, the father and mother will give each of them two copper coins, and occasionally the second sister three copper coins, because she is the one who can bring the most money home each time.

The eldest sister is a temporary worker, and her daily salary is very fixed, and the full attendance and health expenses are uniformly paid at the end of the month, so she brings back three copper coins every day, so the money that the eldest sister gets is also 1 copper coin.

The rest of the money was all put away.

If you can save a few days, you can count out a hundred and exchange them for silver coins.

Silver coins are easy to store, copper coins are inconvenient.

Slowly, Dolly not only learned the order of numbers below one hundred and fifty, but also learned the addition and subtraction of one hundred and fifty!

Dolly has no money, but her brothers and sisters have money, she works hard, always diligently helps her brothers and sisters do that, and also helps her parents hammer their bodies, so she can also get some pocket money from time to time.

The younger brother is a little fool who can only play silly, not to mention the chance of giving him money, and he will spend it as soon as he gets it.

But Dolly rarely spends money, and with the money in her hand, she rarely goes out again, but even so, she only saved six copper coins, and today it cost 1 copper coin to buy a popsicle, and there are only five copper coins left.

She was so distressed that she couldn't do it.

But even with five copper coins, it's not realistic to want to wholesale popsicles.

Yes, "wholesale".

I learned this word from my eldest brother. The eldest brother works as a porter in the warehouse and often helps wholesalers move goods, and Dolly sometimes remembers the word "wholesale" when she hears him say that she works.

Dolly wants to achieve popsicle freedom, but she has no money, so Dolly has to think of a "part-time job" outside of the paste-cardboard box.

She's not a very smart child, but for the ice cream, she really fights!

She is a glutton, so she knows that the children around her are hungry for ice cream.

She doesn't want to run out on such a hot day, and she is willing to pay for her brother to contribute.

Pushing others for themselves, others should not be willing to go out, and they should also be willing to spend a little "small money" to entrust others to buy popsicles and deliver them to them.

Because that's what she is!

So Dolly and her brother first went to count the number of popsicles that the children around them would buy tomorrow, and then the cost of 1 copper coin for the purchase of popsicles, and agreed to deliver the popsicles to their homes tomorrow, and at the same time they would charge 1 candy as a reward.

110 popsicles are 110 copper coins, but she only needs to buy them for 100 copper coins.

And with 110 candies, she's a genius!

This candy is a benefit issued by the factory, and 10 copper coins can buy 1 catty.

A very small piece of candy, a pound is about more than a hundred pieces, many people buy it, because they think that at such a low price can buy 1 pound of candy to buy is to earn!

Children have not been paid for pasting cartons at home, and candy has become the remuneration paid by parents to children, for example, if a day's pasting cardboard box earns 2 copper coins, they will give children 2 candies, and sometimes they will give 3 or 4 pieces if they are in a good mood.

Dolly has a big box full of candy! She loves to eat, but if a piece of candy can be exchanged for a popsicle in the summer without having to go out, she would be happy!

"100 copper coins and 110 popsicles?" The swarthy boy frowned at first, but after thinking for a while, his eyes lit up.

"Yes." He readily agreed, "Just sugar water popsicles?" Do you want a saltwater popsicle? ”

The price of his wholesale sugar water popsicles is 3 copper coins and 4 pieces, and he must sell 4 pieces to earn 1 copper coin.

Today's business is very good, I can sell five or six hundred popsicles a day, but it is also tiring.

Exposed to the sun all the time, he couldn't stand it. But it's all worth it to make money!

110 popsicles are only sold for 100 copper coins, and he can earn at least 17 copper coins, the key is to sell them all at once.

He could have used the time he had saved to sell it somewhere else!

In this way, he can't make a profit of 1 silver coin in a day!

It dawned on him that the wholesalers were willing to wholesale popsicles to them.

They still make some money, but they only stay in the room, and they don't need to come out to bask in the sun, how comfortable!

He even wished there was a Dolly kid everywhere!

When Dolly saw him agree, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

She suppressed the joy of making money soon, and whispered, "No need, all you need is sugar water popsicles for the time being." ”

Sugar and salt are not too precious to eat now.

But people still prefer sweet and cool sugar water popsicles to cheaper salted water popsicles.

Dolly made an appointment with him, and after that, she counted the popsicles needed for tomorrow every day, and he came over at a fixed time, and the two of them paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

The price is 11 copper coins for 10.

So Dolly and her brother's thriving reselling business began!

The children don't have much money in their hands, but the slums don't have much of everything, but there are a lot of people.

Even if you are willing to eat a sugar water popsicle once in two or three days, the number of customers every day is still quite large.

On the first day, Dolly only counted 108 people and gave up, and the remaining 2 sugar water popsicles were reserved for herself and her brother.

The next day, other children heard about it and came to them for home delivery service.

The number of popsicles that need to be delivered every day soared from 110 to 130+, then 150+, and finally even broke through 180+!

Dolly looked at the copper coins that looked like small hills, and her eyes were full of small stars.

Not only did they realize the freedom of popsicles, but they also had a lot of money!

The two children, who had never owned so much money, looked at it with some blankness.

I don't know what to do.

After all, it's really never owned, so the brain is blank for "how to spend this money".

I can't imagine it, but I instinctively hide the existence of this money.

It is definitely not allowed for a child to have so much money, and if it is known to the parents, the money will definitely be taken away.

Then they would lose the freedom of popsicles.

"Hey, hey, hey......" It's hard for the siblings not to laugh out loud.

The sugar water popsicles can't satisfy them anymore, and they even eat the most heat-relieving mung bean popsicles, 2 copper coins!

The sisters and brothers each have one, and the daily cost is 4 copper coins, if their parents know that they have to spend so much money every day to lose, then they will definitely be beaten.

But they wouldn't be stupid enough to go to their parents and find out about it.

In order to prevent the number of boxes from becoming smaller and thus increasing the chance of detection, other children were even "hired" with candy.

The materials of the box were counted when they received it, and they hid money at home and did not dare to let people help them paste the boxes.

But they have to take care of the vegetables in the field every day.

This work is outsourced, and when it comes out, it is used to hurry up and paste boxes, and at noon to deliver popsicles from house to house.

They have simple insulated foam boxes from the popsicle brother, and the popsicles don't melt very quickly.

The more happy the sister and brother are in their business of delivering popsicles to their homes, the next goal is to achieve the freedom of milk popsicles!

They haven't eaten milk popsicles yet, but 9 copper coins a piece, and when I think about it, I think this thing is delicious!

After all, a mung bean popsicle with 2 copper coins is better than a sugar water popsicle with 1 copper coin, and a sugar water popsicle with 1 copper coin is already the best thing I have ever eaten besides eating rice balls and carb popsicles.

It follows from this that milk popsicles must be the best thing in the world!

When they can earn 30 copper coins a day, they will buy one and eat it alone!

- I thought so, but the child couldn't resist the temptation, and when he earned 20 copper coins a day, he couldn't resist buying two milk popsicles.

The milk popsicle is worthy of its high price of 9 copper coins, dense, soft, much sweeter than the sugar water popsicle, and has an extremely mellow taste, and even catches up with the status of tangyuan in their hearts!

Wait, tangyuan?!

"Sister, shall we eat glutinous rice balls at noon tomorrow?"

Wang Du sells rice balls, but the "high price" of 20 copper coins a pound makes people timid, and no one is willing to buy them every day, but if anyone can cook a rice ball, a large group of people will eat with the aroma with a rice bowl and snorting.

Dolly was very excited, the last time their family ate rice balls was just a few months ago, the house was just built, and her mother went to buy half a catty of rice balls to celebrate their new life to begin.

But half a catty of rice balls is only a lot! Dolly and her brother each got one.

It's okay if the younger brother doesn't say it, as soon as he talks about the rice balls, Dolly is overflowing with saliva.

"No, if we buy it, it will definitely be exposed."
