Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 18 Small Business



After giving away the honeysuckle and dividing the money, Li Qiuyan and the others went to buy some needed items and then went to buy meat.

Of course, no one wanted today's pig's guts. Wang made three sets for today. Since he wanted more, he also made a reservation with the butcher for the daily pig's guts. The butcher also offered a penny discount per pair.After it was done, everyone went back.

When they arrived at the fork between Wangjia'ao and Lijiazhuang, Wang Daniu looked at the pile of things in the car and felt uneasy, so he sent Wang and others back.

"Sister, this weight is not light." Wang Daniu couldn't hide his worry after sending Ms. Wang home.

"It's okay, it's only a few dozen kilograms, I can do it." Wang was full of energy.

"Let her go. Yanyan has to wash and cook at home. Wouldn't it be even more tiring?" Ms. Zhao said.Wang nodded with deep understanding.

After sending everyone away from Wangjia'ao, Li Qiuyan asked Mrs. Wang, "Mom, how much should we cook today?"

"Let's cook a set first." Wang was afraid that it would not sell well, so she was quite conservative.

Li Qiuyan didn't say anything, just washed and marinated it.

That night, Li Qiuyan seemed to sleep soundly.Li Xiangnan and Wang were tossing and turning, making sesame seed cakes, but they couldn't fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Wang, with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, was carrying a load and was about to set off, only to find that her elder brother Wang Daniu was already waiting at the door.Mrs. Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, I'm not a kid anymore, you're too worried." She complained and got on the bullock cart.

At home, Li Qiuyan seemed to be absent-minded in everything he did, sometimes in a daze and sometimes giggling.

Although she has a big heart, running this small business is still a bit stressful.I'm thinking about what to do next if I can't sell the honeysuckle. The money I get from selling honeysuckle isn't enough to survive the winter.The rest of the fungus and wine have not yet been mixed.Life is difficult without income.She wants to tidy up a room by herself and buy new bedding, and the family needs to buy new cotton-padded clothes.After a while, I thought, if the business is good and there is a lot of burning, how can her mother be so busy alone?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He looked up and saw that Li Xiangnan was also restless.Then he began to comfort his father again.

It seemed like a long time, but it didn't seem like that long before, when he heard the door ringing, Li Qiuyan rushed out.

I saw Mrs. Wang happily coming in with big and small bags.

"Why are you back so early? No one bought it?" Li Xiangnan shouted anxiously in the room.

Wang said angrily: "No one bought it, and it was sold out in half an hour." Li Qiuyan didn't expect it, and asked: "Why so fast?"

Mrs. Wang said cheerfully: "Your uncle sent me there. When your fourth uncle saw me coming, he came over to help set up the stall. At first, no one bought. It was your fourth uncle who came with his acquaintances to support him. Later, they formed a circle. People, some people were worried about the taste, so I asked people to taste it with a small bamboo skewer, and they all gave it a thumbs up. It tasted so good, and it was all meat. For two cents a tablespoon, and some pickles as a gift, this is no better than eating other food. What a good deal? Many people didn’t buy it and asked me when to go tomorrow.”

Li Xiangnan was relieved after hearing this.

Wang Shidao bought three pictures of pigs in the water today, and said with confidence: "I will cook more today. I think at least two pictures will be enough." Li Qiuyan agreed and dealt with it quickly.

Li Xiangnan was worried and said: "Don't do too much. You can go back and forth by yourself. Two sets of water, plus side dishes, and other things. It's too heavy for you to bear. Just sell it less. I'll pick it up when I'm better." Go get more.”

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at him: "It's so easy to sell now and there are not many selling points. Why wait for you? My eldest brother sent me there today. When I came back, I asked him to leave first and came back in Lao Jin's car. I went with him We agreed to take his car and pay two cents for a trip." Li Qiuyan was at the door and was about to come in to talk about this. When he heard these words, he felt that Wang had a plan and felt relieved.

After dinner, Mrs. Wang poured the coins onto the kang and counted them. In fact, she had already counted them in her mind. Could she not know how many spoonfuls she had scooped?Li Xiangnan counted them several times, and happily said to Li Qiuyan: "I will buy you a new cotton-padded jacket after I earn money in a few days." Li Qiuyan agreed with a smile.

As expected, Lao Jin was waiting at the door early the next morning, and he came back not long after Wang left the door.

"Why are you back? Did you leave something behind?" Li Xiangnan asked hurriedly.Li Qiuyan also looked at his mother in confusion.

"Sold out." Wang patted the dust on his body. "There were more people today. There was a long queue when we got there. This one wanted one scoop and that one wanted two scoops. It was sold out in a short time." Li Qiuyan really didn't expect this.Mrs. Wang added: "Many people bought it and took it home to add food. You see, this business is small and it is really easy to sell. If it weren't for your fourth uncle's help, I would be too busy collecting the money."

Li Qiuyan was very happy and asked Wang how many paintings he had bought today, but Wang gritted his teeth and said, "The butcher said he didn't have any more today. Fortunately, you asked me to buy more for pickling before, otherwise there wouldn't be any tomorrow." Gotta sell it.”

Li Qiuyan was not angry after hearing this, and just said: "When they find out today that they can't do it well, no one will buy it tomorrow."

Wang thought it was true, and calmed down: "Let's cook three pictures today." Li Qiuyan said, "I'll cook two pictures first." Wang agreed.

That day, as soon as Mr. Wang put down the earthen pot, the stall was surrounded.Not long after, it was sold out again, and those who didn't buy it said unhappy: "Didn't you say you should cook more today?" Wang helplessly said what Li Qiuyan taught her: "I wanted to cook more, but I didn't buy it yesterday." Pigs go to the water." One day, a regular customer who came to support you said disdainfully: "Yesterday, many people saw your prosperous business and went to buy water. My neighbor also went to sell it. After cooking it, the dogs didn't even eat it."

Wang said: "This game is very meaningful. It has to be washed many times, mixed with a lot of spices, and stewed for a long time. The whole family is busy with it. Just look at the cheap water and the cost is not low. It is also hard to make some money. Money." Another old customer said: "Exactly, you can buy a spoonful of it for two cents and eat it comfortably, why bother with that." The others also agreed.

This is exactly what Li Qiuyan expected.She thought that even if someone wanted to compete with her for business, they probably wouldn't like it, so she had nothing to hide.I also sell it for a period of time to make money for transition.

Mrs. Wang closed the stall and went to Butcher Cao. Butcher Cao said very enthusiastically, "I'll keep all the semen of today for you." Ms. Wang showed no mercy: "No one bought it, right? You You have to think about what others buy, even if it’s more expensive, it’s impossible for you to buy everything you buy every day, right? If you can’t sell it, why don’t you throw it away? If you sell it to me, you don’t have to worry about anything, and you still have to deal with this.” Wang said. Blushing with scolding, Butcher Cao repeatedly admitted his mistake and promised to leave it to the Wang family in the future.Mrs. Wang then took the meat and left.
