Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 15 Restocking
On the way back, Xu Heping pedaled his bicycle vigorously, shouting non-stop along the way, his excitement was beyond words.

"Thirty copies, a full thirty copies, it's really amazing that they were all sold out. I thought about what to do if you couldn't sell so many left over, but I didn't expect it to be sold out."

"I said peace, can you say something to me?"

Not in a hurry to go back, Xu An stared at the pedals slowly, and followed Xu Heping not too far or too close.

"Hey, isn't this the first time doing business? I always heard my parents say that business is not easy to do, but it's not too difficult for you."

"It's not the same. I'm just making a fuss. Your parents call it business."

"There is no difference, they are all selling things to others."

"."

In fact, Xu An didn't know what mood he was in right now, he was a little excited, a little emotional, a little dazed, and a little bit unbelievable.

With the help of Uncle Dongliang, he took the first step easily.

As long as you have taken this step, then as long as you do it down-to-earth and don't change your mind, the business will be established.

The paper sheets prepared temporarily before going out also made a great contribution. Many people were attracted by seeing the food written on it.

But it is impossible to change a piece of cardboard every day, and there are not so many cardboards to change at home.I have to change to a whiteboard that can erase the handwriting. I just wipe and write before I leave every day and I'm done.

There are not many boxes left, so I have to go to the wholesale market to replenish them.When I was cooking this morning, I realized that there are still many things missing in the kitchen, such as large pots for serving vegetables, colanders, etc., and I have to buy these.

The two people turned the car to the entrance of the wholesale market. There was a dry goods stall at the entrance, and there was a lot of traffic here.

But the more people went inside, the fewer people there were. When we came to the meat stall, there were only two or three big cats and kittens left, and the shop was either swat flies or dozed off.

Xu An walked to Bald Chen's booth, took out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Boss Chen, why are there so few people here?"

The bald Chen woke up from his doze, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and took the cigarette in a daze with half-opened eyes.

"It's you." The bald Chen recognized Xu An, "Hey, since the store over there opened, the number of people who come to the wholesale market to buy meat has dropped by more than half, and the few are small restaurant owners. Can this be deserted?"

It's not easy for Xu An to answer this topic rashly, and directly clarify his purpose for coming here.

"Boss, leave me [-] catties of fat and lean pork tomorrow morning, and pick them up around the same time as this morning."

"I don't want it now, if I want it today, I will give you fifty cents less per catty." Bald Chen took out two pieces of meat from the freezer and showed them to Xu An: "Look at this meat, it all meets your requirements."

"I don't have a refrigerator at home. It's so hot now that it will break down tomorrow."

"There is no way without a refrigerator." Bald Chen put the meat back into the freezer, closed the door of the freezer, took out banknotes and wrote while writing: "If you order [-] catties, you need to give a [-]-jin deposit. If you don't want it, the deposit is not It’s refundable, but you can save it to deduct when you buy it next time.”

"Okay." Xu An took out 20 yuan and handed it to Bald Chen.

"What's the phone number, leave a phone number?"

Xu An's house does not have fixed electricity, and in the past the contacts were all based on Xu's father's PHS or the neighbor's phone.

But Father Xu's PHS was always carried with him, and it was broken when he dropped it, making it completely unusable.

When Xu An was about to say that he would not leave a call, Xu Heping reported a series of numbers from the side.

"I'm with him. If you need anything, call me and I'll tell him."

The bald Chen took a look at Xu An, and seeing that he had no objection, he wrote the string of numbers that Xu Heping said on the order.

"Two copies, come here tomorrow morning with this receipt."

While a few people were talking, Xu Kang and Xu Le got in from under the counter, staring intently at the two big flower arms of Bald Chen, whispering in a voice that everyone present could hear.

"Uncle Baldhead, what is that in his hand?"

"I know, it's stickers!" Xu Kang sighed like an adult: "So many stickers, how much are they worth, you prodigal."

"Yes, prodigal."

As soon as I heard these words, I knew that I learned them from Grandma Xu, and I imitated them vividly.

The bald-headed Chen Wenyan couldn't laugh or cry, he widened his eyes and made a grimace to scare the two of them: "I heard you speak ill of me, and the bald-headed uncle is very angry and wants to eat you."

The two were frightened and fled back behind Xu An, buried their heads under Xu An's clothes, and kept chanting 'The bald uncle is so scary'.

After Xu An apologized to Bald Chen, he patted the two behind him, and went to the daily necessities area with Xu Heping.

I added a bunch of packing boxes and kitchen utensils in bits and pieces, and it cost almost 100 yuan.

When passing by the vegetable market, there were still a few scattered vegetable stalls inside, so Xu An got off the car and went inside to have a look.

The output of the vegetable garden at home in the next few days will be collected by myself at one time today, and then the vegetables will also be bought in the vegetable market.

Vegetables depreciate more and more over time after they are picked from the field. If they cannot be sold today, most of the vegetables will not be sold tomorrow.

Therefore, at this time, the vegetables on the vegetable stalls are very cheap.

After picking things up and down, Xu An came out holding two halves of winter melons.The two halves of wax gourd add up to a total of twelve catties, three cents a catty, a total of three yuan and six cents.

After such a purchase, the tricycles have been piled up to the brim.There was no place to put the two wax gourds, so they had to put them in Xu Kang and Xu Le's arms for the two of them to hug.

Back home, Xu Heping wanted to leave to play with the village children, but was stopped by Xu An.

Xu An took out a small cloth bag, which contained the money earned from selling boxed lunches, a total of 240 yuan, a lot of money.

The cost of each boxed meal is six yuan, and one boxed meal earns two yuan, and the net profit of thirty boxed meals is only sixty.

Xu Heping's eyes widened when he saw the number calculated by Xu An, with an expression of disbelief.

He thought he could make at least half of the profit, but after deducting the cost, it turned out to be only a quarter of the profit. Adding labor costs, it was really hard to make money.

Xu An is quite content, 60 yuan is not too little, and it is enough for the income of the vegetable garden when it is at its peak output.

He took out 18 yuan from the pile of money and handed it to Xu Heping: "You have helped a lot before and after, and you have also contributed your family's tricycle. Assuming that you are investing in people and tools, you will get [-]% of it."

Xu Heping pushed the money back.

"It's not that you don't know my family. My parents are a bit stingy with me, but they will still give me money if I want to do business. I'm not short of this money."

Xu An's face became serious, and when he was about to speak, Xu Heping spoke first.

"It's the brother who settles accounts again, right? I'll sell this tricycle to you as a second-hand one. Count it at one hundred and sixty, and settle it at the end of the month, okay?"

Well, that sounds like it is.

But Xu Heping's actions can be regarded as timely assistance. Without his tricycle, his own bicycle may not be able to support the stall. It is definitely inappropriate to calculate the price of a second-hand tricycle.

"Since you don't want to count it as a shareholding cooperation, then..."

"One hundred and eighty yuan is nothing." Xu Heping rolled Xu An's eyes, and said angrily: "If you really have a bad conscience, when you earn eight thousand yuan, you will give ten times the money to me. Me, will you just give me one thousand and six lines at that time?"

"Row."

Xu An nodded, took back the money, and recorded such a sum in the account book.

"Come back to see you tomorrow morning." Seeing that Xu An didn't talk about it anymore, Xu Heping waved his hand and left.

Grandma Xu listened sideways to the movement from the yard outside, and when she heard that the two of them had really done the business and made 60 yuan, their expressions became a little complicated.

She could promise Xu An that if she could earn 2 yuan, she would not have to go to college because she felt that this requirement was too high for Xu An to meet.

College students who graduate from the village and work in the city earn only two to three thousand a month.2 yuan for two and a half months, which is equivalent to a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand. How could a child who just graduated from high school earn such money.

Although sixty a day is a lot, it is still far away from 2 yuan.The money earned is just enough to cover the living expenses of studying in university.
