On this trip, I only brought more than 1,100 condoms with me.
This is not to blame for Guan Ertu not working hard and accumulating. The main choice of set depends on the size of the fish.
Not all fish can. A fish only has one swim bladder.
They also had to remove the condoms given to the men in the village for free.
Guan Ertu has never forgotten that while he wants to make money, his original intention is also a century-old plan: "Love as much as you want, no accidents." A real man must have a way. If a woman is in good health, everyone can have fun. Don't cover up women's houses with rags again. Where can you find a wife if you get sick?
Guan Ertu distributed nearly 300 large and small condoms to the villagers one after another for free. It was not enough to make an appointment. There was always that young man with a red face who secretly poked at Guan Shu's long and short Guan's short condoms. The trick was to make Guan Ertuo, a sonless man, become the most popular elder among the strong laborers in the village. His family's firewood was all given free of charge by these strong laborers. Even Xu Youliang, who came home later, also received five sets of firewood for free, but Mrs. Xu didn't know about this.
After excluding some fish species, the fourth uncle would keep them to make fish maw glue. In addition, Mrs. Xu also fought with him in the early stage to get the fish maws to be dried and made into isinglass for her granddaughter and daughter-in-law to eat in the winter. What was left was for Guan Ertu to choose condoms. Running out.
Guan Ertu gave all the inventory to Mrs. Xu and asked her to take it out this time to see if she could make a "windfall". After all, there were so many fish in their village that they could collect so many models and skillfully make condoms. There are very few doctors among them, and he thinks he is really a talent.
Facts have proved that he made a fortune just after arriving in the county, but the amount was small.
Don't forget to bring more than 1,100 sets, but don't forget the extra 100 sets. Those are various models of promotional trial products, which are not enough.
So Mrs. Xu led the table full back to brother Liu Laozhu's house. After thinking about it, she only left a few dozen sales items and gave the remaining 800 sets to the table full.
I plan to make 800 of the 800 sets as sales items, and they need to be repaired in case they are damaged along the way. In addition, according to today's experience, brothels usually cost more for medium models, and less for extra large and small sizes. Mrs. Xu was telling the table full of people:
"There are more than 800 sets. If you can sell about 700, you can come back. This road guide passes through four relatively prosperous counties. If everything goes well, I guess it will be enough to go to these four places. If there is a brothel If you want to buy more, just make a note of it and wait until next time to collect thousands of sets."
"Sister, don't you keep some to sell in Fucheng?"
"I won't keep it anymore. You can sell it for five cents each. I hope you can earn a few more taels this time.
Besides, it’s not necessarily free or convenient for me and the villagers to purchase goods. The villagers don’t know that Guan Ertu and I are doing this business together.
I'll keep some samples, and if I have time, I'll go sell them and try to get the brothel in Fucheng to make an appointment. The bigger the threshold of a place, the easier it is to get in. If you can't prepare for it, the brothels in big cities already have their own tricks. So what tricks does a big place have?
I'd better start with you and find out the situation in the surrounding counties. If you can buy it, we'll go there next time. If you can't, I'll give up and never make a detour in the future.
However, there will be plenty of opportunities for selling goods in Fucheng in the future. "
Mrs. Xu has two templates in her hand. One is the branch she used before that looks like a man's thing, inserted into a moss box made of wood. When selling, put the pre-soaked ones on the branches so that the size can be seen clearly.
In fact, this template is very rough. It stands to reason that if her second son has free time, he can carve a real mold out of wood like a tobacco pot, and wait for the next time.
There is another display board that is easier to get.
There is a square board with protrusions like hooks on it. When it is time to sell, soak it in milk and herbal bags in advance, then tie the soaked sleeves on the hook according to size, and then put the board You can sell it as soon as it appears, and you can even take it off and blow bubbles directly.
Mrs. Xu gave this display board to the whole table, and then put a large basket full of condoms on the back of the table:
"Lu Yin, be sure to take it. Use the money I gave you to buy milk locally. Don't bother soaking it in water and medical packets. Although soaking in water can be used, it won't feel so slippery when selling. It will only be good if the sample is good. Sell.
If anyone asked you when you were in the city, you would always say that you were from Erdaohe Village, your surname was Cai, and the name was Cai Baozi, an old lady from our village.
You must pay attention to safety. If anyone asks you what is in this basket, just say it is food. They don’t know it anyway. Don't be followed when entering and leaving a brothel, especially after selling the money after a deal is made. Go to Datong Shop and put away the money. "
"Don't worry, sister."
The table was full of people carrying a basket that was almost half as tall as her body.
She saw with her own eyes how careful the elder sister was with this basket of condoms along the way. They were packed with layers of cloth and straw like they were wrapped in pearls.
Now, she wants to carry all her hard work away, so she can't live up to it, she must sell it all and see her again.
But to be honest, when we were about to say goodbye, the whole table suddenly couldn't bear to leave my sister, and felt uneasy. Even though she used to be a matchmaker in Shiliba Village, she seemed to be quite a real person. Everyone knew her. Even if she didn’t have any relatives, she could just mention someone’s younger one. She wouldn’t be able to go into a house to ask for words even if they were related to each other. Get kicked out.
But now I have to travel alone, and I don’t know anyone in various unfamiliar counties. I live in Datongpu and have to talk to many strangers. I may even be kicked out by brothels with sticks. I don’t dare to sleep at night. She was there when the goods were there, riding alone in a group of people... In short, it's still embarrassing to think about all the details.
Unlike the old lady who went wherever she went these past two days, she felt very safe.
Thinking about the unknown difficulties in his mind, he left the table, looking back and waving his hands to Mrs. Xu, but the one who shouted was: "Don't worry, sister, I've decided to come back in full, see you on the big Kang at your house. As for the money, you still have to Don’t you know me? If necessary, stick it in your butt, and I won’t let it lose a penny.”
Mrs. Xu was very happy, yes, she was still confident in her ability to hide money on the table.
If you go to Hyundai with a table full of people, you probably won’t be able to find out where the money is hidden even if you go through the security check.
After the whole table left, Mrs. Xu hurriedly helped her granddaughter make milk soap.
Spending 20 cents to buy a large bowl of milk for soaking condoms cannot be in vain, especially the milk for soaking condoms is also mixed with various herbal scented medicine packets. Each flavor is soaked in milk separately for condoms. This is the best way to make condoms. The raw materials of milk soap are fragrant and sterilizing according to Guan Ertuo. Can they be thrown away? That's not for nothing.
Therefore, before coming to the county town, the grandfather and grandson were very good at making a living and brought semi-finished products for making soap.
Semi-finished products include boiled lard, coarse salt and lime. It would be better if this lime could be replaced with powdered shells and pearls, as well as lye made from plant ash, and half a jar of honey.
This bit of honey and a piece of beeswax left at home were brought back to the village by the young men in the village who went to work as beekeepers. I don’t know whether I bought it with some wages and bought it home, or secretly saved it behind the owner’s back while working. Anyway, each of the dozen young men brought some back to the village, and Mrs. Xu learned that they had bought it. Some are left to my granddaughter.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu was helping her granddaughter make the soap. She mixed the semi-finished soap with milk and flower-scented water and poured it into twelve square molds. Even the square molds were brought from home. Making soap requires letting it sit overnight to take shape.
There was no room for it in the mold, so Xu Tianxin didn’t expect to make so many pieces. Thanks to the fact that she carried two diabolo tubes and a small bag of dried wild roses with her. If she wanted to make a few more pieces separately, she only had wild roses and milk honey base. Facial soap made from lard.
There happened to be a small bowl of milk left that had not been used. This was left alone by grandma for her to drink. She was reluctant to drink it, and she kept thinking about making soap.
Mrs. Xu felt a little distressed when she saw her granddaughter living her life well. She thought to herself: On this trip, whether it is food or supplies for her granddaughter, she will take this opportunity to buy them all. There is no underpants or vest for her to wash her hair and wipe her face. The cotton-padded clothes, trousers, hats and shoes are all in tatters.
You must spend money when you go out this time.
Isn’t this how many taels you earned from selling sets? Give them all to your granddaughter.
Besides, she can still earn.
Mrs. Xu quickly helped her granddaughter finish making the soap before she could do anything else.
Because I will only stay in the county tonight and leave tomorrow morning, it will be inconvenient to take it away if I don’t hurry up and make the soap.
After finishing their work, Mrs. Xu took her granddaughter to the main house to say hello to Liu Laozhu's parents, and then headed to the restaurant with a basket full of fish scale jelly, fish noodles and fish floss.
Liu Laozhu's parents were puzzled: "If we have to eat, we can stay home. What are we going to do?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and refused: "No, this is enough trouble for uncle and aunt. We, grandson and grandson, are going out for a walk. If there is anything to eat, we can just take a bite. You really don't have to bring us food."
This trip is not just about selling condoms, Mrs. Xu plans to take advantage of the opportunity to sell food while she is out.
On the way to the restaurant, Xu Tianxin asked Mrs. Xu: "Mistress, where will we stay tonight? And where will my third uncle and the others live? It seems to me that the eldest brother Li Zhengye's house doesn't have many rooms."
When he went out this time, Liu Laozhu brought six livestock carts from the village, eight young men, their grandparents and their grandchildren together with a full table.
Among the eight young men, there was Xu Youcang.
On the one hand, Youcang was injured, and Mrs. Xu went out. She was afraid that Youcang would be disobedient and work secretly at home, not taking medicine on time and stretching. On the other hand, one of the "three you" must follow, otherwise the place where the knife is hidden cannot be found. Just like that, Xu Laosan was chosen by the traveler.
Now, after entering the county, Liu Laozhu left with eight strong young men. He said he wanted to buy rapeseed oil without going to Fucheng. There was a larger oil shop in Zhuangzi near the county, and he often moved goods. You know, people from Fucheng can’t wait to come here to buy oil.
Liu Laozhu sent Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin to his eldest brother's house in the county, unloaded the goods collected from the village, and then took people to the oil mill. He showed the eight boys to the world, saying that they would know everyone next time. Directions for buying oil.
Mrs. Xu replied to her granddaughter: "We should be able to sleep on the kang in the small house and live in the same room with Liu Laozhu's mother. Your third uncle and the other men should be making bunks on the floor of the big house, or they have to sleep on firewood." There is a pile of firewood in the house. No matter where you sleep, you have to wait for Liu Laozhu's sister-in-law to get home to make arrangements. She said that her daughter-in-law's mother was sick, and she went to visit her biological mother in another village and would not come back until dark. She didn't know when she would come back. Would you be unhappy?"
With so many people coming to their hometown all at once, even if the dozen or so of them don't eat and drink for free, they need to know how much food they will eat for one night, and when they return, they will include some money for the rations back to the city, so that they can leave some money for Mrs. Liu's family.
That would be troublesome. We have to provide food and accommodation. I just hope that Mr. Liu and his wife won’t show off in front of her, otherwise they won’t be able to live there.
Liu Laozhu and his father and mother were very welcoming and insisted on letting everyone live in Datongpu.
Mrs. Xu said to her granddaughter: "Go back and leave a piece of the soap you made for Mrs. Liu's wife."
