Liu You's fresh glutinous rice cake shop has made a lot of money like crazy.
For several days in a row, the villagers of the Gao family lined up to eat the special food. The business was so good that there is nothing to say.
However, the good business also caused a small problem.
The coal Liu You used to cook the fresh glutinous rice was brought from Heyang County on a small cart, along with his kitchen utensils. How much coal can the small cart pull? It was all gone in a blink of an eye.
Now he can only buy some firewood from the "woodcutter" in Gaojia Village to burn.
Everyone knows that the combustion efficiency of firewood is not at the same level as that of coal. This results in an increase in the cost of each bowl of fresh water...
Liu You began to miss the cheap coal in Heyang County.
After thinking about it, I might as well go back to Heyang County.
This time he came to Gaojia Village just to explore the way. His wife and children were still staying in the dilapidated house in Heyang County. His plan was that if Gaojia Village could not do the fresh water glutinous rice business, he would He also used a trolley to take all the diners home. If the business in Gaojia Village was successful, he would take his wife and children over.
Now that the exploration is successful, Gaojiacun is simply a place where one can make a fortune, so there is nothing to hesitate about. He must go to pick up his wife and children.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity and pull another large cart of coal over.
So, I temporarily closed the fresh food store, packed some luggage, and planned to go home. As I walked out of the door, suddenly an idea flashed in my mind: "No! I just went back to pull coal like this. Isn't that too stupid?" ? The price of food here is so cheap, seven cents per pound, why don’t I bring some back? I can definitely make crazy money by pulling grain here to Heyang County, and then pulling coal from Heyang County here. The latest and fastest first release”
Just do it if you think of it!
Liu You has also made a lot of copper coins these days. He first exchanged them for easy-to-carry silver, and then went to the "Village Food Store" in Gaojia Village. He took out more than half of the money he earned in the past few days and bought Three oxcarts full of grain.
Then it was time to hire a driver.
There was no such thing as coachmen in Gaojia Village before, but after it was connected to Chengcheng County, many coachmen came from the county to Gaojia Village to ask for work. They often took over the grain transportation work in Gaojia Village and were responsible for the food distributed by Tianzun. Relief food was transported to various small villages in Chengcheng County and the prison in Huanglong Mountain.
Liu Yougang hired three coachmen and negotiated a price.
I saw a middle-aged man who looked very much like a high-ranking official, who also came to hire rickshaw drivers. Moreover, he was very generous and hired dozens of rickshaw drivers at once.
Liu You couldn't help asking the coachmen in a low voice: "Who is that person? He seems to be a big shot?"
The coachmen whispered: "That's the biggest one in our Gaojia Village besides the Saint. It's called Thirty-Two. Everyone calls him the Third Steward! He's responsible for managing all the government affairs in Gaojia Village."
Liu You was shocked: Isn't this the same as the county magistrate of Gaojiacun?
While he was muttering here, Thirty-Two walked over to Liu You and said hello with a smile: "Huh? Isn't this the shopkeeper of the Shuixian Juli shop, a specialty snack in Heyang? You didn't open the shop today. ? Came here?"
Liu You was shocked that such a big man actually recognized me, and he quickly and respectfully said: "If I go back to the Third Steward, I will go back to Heyang County and bring my wife and children to Gaojiacun to live together."
Thirty-Two smiled: "Come pick up your wife and children, that's great! Eh? Just hire a carriage to pick up your wife and children. Why did you hire three oxcarts to pull the goods? This is called a [square-handled gouge]. "
Liu You heard an idiom that he didn't understand at all, and saw Thirty-two with a weird pretentious expression in his eyes. He really wanted to punch him in the face, but the other party was a big shot and he didn't dare to punch him, so he had to Explained: "My guess is that the food here in Gaojia Village is cheap, but the food in Heyang County is expensive, so I plan to resell some more food. I will bring grain here and some coal back there."
Thirty-Two smiled: "It's a good idea! It's very good! You and I have thought about it together. You see, the dozens of cars I hired are all going to do this."
This sentence shocked Liu You.
Business grabbers are here, and it’s a large-scale business grabber. No, you have to think about it the other way around. I stole the business of the big boss. Will he get angry and call a few people to beat me to death?
Liu You was a little scared.
Thirty-two smiles: "Don't be afraid! Heyang County has a population of more than 80,000. How can I have enough dozens of cars? I won't take away all your business. You hurry up and get ahead of me. You can also make a better move." The price is called [shooting first].”
Liu You: "Huh?"
Unexpectedly, he robbed the elder's business, and instead of being angry, the elder actually gave him advice. This Gaojia Village is really full of good people from top to bottom.
Liu You gave Thirty-Two a big gift, and quickly set off with three cartmen. Carrying three carts of grain, he returned to Heyang County and knocked on the door of his home.
The door opened, and Liu You's wife came out: "Ayou, you are finally back. There has been no news from you for several days. My children and I are on tenterhooks every day...
Liu You's face turned red: "Hey, hey, Gaojia Village is such a good place. Our family has become rich. When I come back this time, I want to take you to Gaojia Village and live a good life together."
"How much money can we make by doing a small business?" Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "As long as people are safe, life is a good one."
Liu You: "Look behind me, I made so much in just a few days."
Mrs. Liu looked behind him and saw three bullock carts on the street behind Liu You. The carts were full of flour bags, three carts full!
Now Mrs. Liu was very surprised: "This... these are all... from our family?
Liu You said proudly: "Yes, they are all from our family."
At this time, Heyang County already had a lot of food. Gaojia Village had been continuously transporting food to Heyang County to pay the road construction workers three kilograms of flour per day. But even so, the food gap was still not enough. Small, food prices are still high.
Three trucks of flour, this is a lot of money in Heyang County!
The happiness came too suddenly. Mrs. Liu screamed, covered her forehead, and felt a little dizzy.
"Let's sell all this food, and then buy three carts of coal to bring back to Gaojiacun. From now on, I'll cook fresh water and you can help me greet the customers. Let's make a lot of money in our little mom-and-pop shop." Liu You was so excited. Hand: "From now on, I will call you Rich Rich, and you will be the Rich Rich Lady, hahahaha."
Mrs. Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Does this nickname sound too much like a nouveau riche? It sounds so unpleasant."
Liu You: "We are nouveau riche. As nouveau riche, what's wrong with having a name that sounds like nouveau riche? Do we have to pretend to be a gentleman as a nouveau riche? That would be even more ridiculous."
"this…..."
