The longer Liu Laozhu was speechless, the redder Liu Laozhu's face became.
Liu Laozhu admitted that he was not as generous to his family as his wife.
And don't look at the conscience he found out a while ago, and gritted his teeth and gave his eldest brother twenty taels of unemployment silver. But these three brothers, you have helped me, and I have helped you. After careful calculation, even if he gave away the twenty taels of silver for nothing, Big brother, big brother should give him more.
Because the eldest brother helps him make money, isn't it a waste of money? You can make money by helping others, but you can't help others. After more than ten years, I definitely have three, two, and five taels a year. If I accumulate 70 taels, I will have fifty taels. I am afraid that nothing will happen.
In the end, he finally gave back something, and he never thought he would come back one day.
Liu Laozhu was shy and smiling, and took the money from his elder brother with both hands.
At the same time, Mrs. Xu who was in the backyard was startled by her third son.
"Why don't you go to bed?"
Her family, Youcang, has stayed up for two nights in a row. If you sleep in the open air, no matter what the advice, you have to stay outside the tent until your eyes turn red. If the wolf doesn't wait any longer, he will become a wolf.
Xu Youcang squatted beside the carriage, and when he saw my mother's figure, he asked, "Did you sell it? How many jars did you sell it for?"
If my mother appears here at this time, she must be here to move goods.
Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to scold her son for being disobedient, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart and wanted to share it with others: "I kept them all. And before we get home, you, Uncle Liu, asked about the next delivery."
After Xu Youcang heard this, he stood up immediately with excitement and said, "Are they all sold?"
"Keep your voice down."
Mrs. Xu disliked her third son for not being profound, but the movements of his hands were a bit showy, betraying her feelings.
Mrs. Xu deliberately opened the small basket to show her son the white money: "Forty taels."
So far, she has basically sold out all the condoms, mianmian, and songsong she sold during this trip.
When I came here, I occupied a car in the village. I always thought that if it was not sold out, I would have to pay for the travel expenses back home. This money would be wasted and would delay the affairs of the village.
Fortunately, the truck is empty now, so it doesn't delay Liu Laozhu's purchase and taking it back to sell.
Don't look at the ten kilograms of fish noodles and dozens of condoms left in the basket. Just go to Fucheng and get it done. If the other party buys it, she has to wait for the next batch of goods. If she doesn't buy it, she will be rejected. Anyway, there is no ready stock in hand, so she is not as anxious as before.
These ten jars of fish and meat floss were sold. To be honest, the psychological pressure was really relieved, and they were all converted into cash.
"Four..." Xu Youcang swallowed his voice, fearing that others would hear him.
After all, most people are like him and have never seen so much money in their lives.
Of course, most people never owe that much money.
How could he not be excited?
Xu Youcang never asked Mrs. Xu in detail how much she would cost, how much she could earn, and how much she planned to sell for various fish trades. He knew that his mother disliked him for being tall and thick, so she didn't follow him to sell goods.
But he was not lacking in his words.
He was in charge of these ten jars of fish floss, and he knew the fish floss well. He could guess the cost by mentally calculating the cost. Forty taels can earn almost half of it.
She was even more excited when she said that Uncle Liu might order more. If he still ordered ten altars and eight altars, his family's famine would be repaid by half.
Mrs. Xu guessed: "How can there be ten altars and eight altars? I hear that. If you order again, you will have to pull more than half of the car. It depends on your connections, Uncle Liu."
If you want to sell expensive things here, connections are the most important. You need to get into that circle first or find a breakthrough. Unlike modern times where there is a platform, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.
So Mrs. Xu is not jealous. It’s reasonable to think that Boss Liu can make more profits than her as a manufacturer. Regardless of whether she knows people or not, as long as she can sell them, it is a skill. This is equivalent to using her network skills. Exchange money.
For example, she helps Guan Ertu sell condoms. Why should she take half of it? What she earns is modern advertising money.
Don't just look at the cost in everything. With the high productivity of modern times, the cost of a product from production to actually being sold to the market will cost several times. Not to mention here.
Mrs. Xu guessed that on the day her fish floss was actually introduced to the market, several dealers were selling it back and forth, and a jar of it was sold for at least ten taels.
Xu Youcang heard that he might order dozens more jars, so his family's famine could be completely repaid by fish and meat floss a year ago? !
Xu Youcang clenched his fists and grinned silly, the young man's anger leaking out. It's a pity that my second brother, second sister-in-law and younger brother don't know about it right now.
Xu Youcang thought that he was very generous, so he used the words of his mother to scold him, saying that his heart was eight pounds heavy in the sun. But what I don’t know is that he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep during these eighty-two years of hunger.
If he is like this, you can imagine what will happen to the second brother who is worried and the younger brother who is nagging.
A few days ago, when his grandmother went home to collect accounts and just two days after the war, he knew that his second brother Chengsu could not sleep well. His younger brother also woke up in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he said that he dreamed of repaying the famine and opening a restaurant and caravan. He didn't come either. Dozens or hundreds of debt collectors gathered in front of the house and broke down the door, forcing my niece to cut her hair and sell it.
The younger brother wiped his sweat and said to himself without asking him to explain: My niece's hair is so hot that she has no one to buy it. It's definitely a dream and it can't happen that day.
It can be seen that the family members are under great psychological pressure if they don't talk about it.
But now, the end of the famine years ago is really no longer a dream.
While Xu Youcang moved the goods carefully as if holding gold, he excitedly asked Mrs. Xu: "Mom, why weren't you thinking about doing business earlier?"
"Earlier, there was no river, no money to buy fish, and there wasn't that much fish meat. We had to take advantage of the low price of fish to avoid harm. Otherwise, how could we dare to try making food with fish." No matter how clever the craftsmanship is, it is in vain.
Mainly because she didn't come earlier.
Mrs. Xu added: "Didn't I say it before? I didn't think about it earlier."
Regarding "I didn't think about it", Xu Youcang knew what his mother meant.
In the first two days when the three brothers arrived home, my mother persuaded them to open a restaurant and asked them a few questions.
Mother asked them: "Our family is not lazy. We are hard-working and have worked tirelessly for many years. Where is the money?"
The three brothers were stunned: "The money is used for farming."
"What about the food?"
"Sold."
"Where's the money from the sale?"
The three brothers thought about it carefully: "We don't have enough food, so we have to buy food again."
"Have you made any money over the years?"
"...Earn it."
My mother frowned: "Where's the money?"
I don’t know, it seems to be in the soil.
The majority of the family's money turned out to be earned by the eldest brother who followed the caravan to the west entrance when he was alive and hid it under a big tree after his death, as well as the three brothers who went out to work this time.
The three brothers understood from what the driver said that it was difficult to have enough food and clothing just by farming, and they still had to find ways to do business.
At this time, Xu Youcang heard his mother say that she had not thought about it earlier. This reason was too strong. After ten years of detours, the three of them had not thought about it. It was only human nature that her mother had just figured it out.
Mrs. Xu clearly didn't want to give all of the forty taels that she didn't keep warm to Liu Laozhu, but when she and Youcang heard that Liu Laozhu was harassing others in the middle of the night, they asked carefully: "Brother-in-law, are you asleep?" No, can you lend me some money and don’t let Vanilla know."
Mrs. Xu gave the money to Liu Laozhu.
