Zhang Xiaoxiao's Rebirth

Chapter 15 Entering the Dao
"Today's fried beans and melon seeds are all sold out. I'll ask your grandfather to go back to the village and collect more. I don't know how much he will collect tomorrow." Mom always has a lot of worries.

"Mom, you can make more varieties of food, such as pickled radish strips, pickled sauerkraut, or you can add sugar to boiled water and sell them in a small glass for 2 minutes." Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.

Mom doubted. "Can these things be sold?"

"Get some and try it first, if you can't sell it, you can eat it yourself."

"Yes, let me try a little bit first."

"Mom and Dad, today's gross profit of more than 500, after deducting the principal, there is almost 300 net profit!"

"It's about the same number! The children in this city are rich. If this continues, the rent will be earned back in a short time." Mom is full of longing.

"Mom, on the first day of school today, there are a lot of people buying school supplies. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be so many people. The sales volume after three days is the normal and stable sales volume." Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't want to hit his mother Instead, let her learn to rationally analyze market fluctuations, not to be blindly optimistic, and not to be blindly negative.

Sure enough, as Zhang Xiaoxiao expected, the gross profit of the second day was more than 400, the third day was more than 300, and the fourth day was also more than 300. Afterwards, the daily gross profit was almost stable at more than 300. The gross profit is more than 300, and the net income is more than 100. My parents are still very satisfied.

My mother listened to Zhang Xiaoxiao's suggestion, and not only sold melon seeds and fried beans, but also pickled some pickled vegetables, such as sauerkraut, radish, cucumber, and sugar water.Under the guidance of Zhang Xiaoxiao, the level of pickled vegetables pickled by her mother has improved by leaps and bounds. Zhang Xiaoxiao had pickled pickled vegetables for sale in her previous life, and her pickled cucumbers are unique in the local area.Therefore, not only the students like to buy my mother’s pickles, but also the local residents often come to buy them for dinner.

When get out of class is over, my father sells school supplies in the window, and my mother sells snacks outside the door.Sometimes Zhang Xiaoxiao would run back to help.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the school does not have classes. After all, Fengyang Road was just a secluded road at that time. The bustling school gate in the past became silent. Early on Saturday morning, parents went home to do farm work. Sunday is a specific market day in the county. People from all over the county come to the market on this day to trade, shop, relax, have fun, and join in the fun.Mom and Dad followed Xiaoxiao's suggestion and moved the fried melon seeds and fried beans to the entrance of the cinema to sell, as well as sugar water and cold rice noodles.

In a small county town in [-] in the last century, movies were the largest and only way of entertainment and leisure for people.For an agricultural county, every market day, in addition to the huge crowds of livestock trading markets, another crowded place is the entrance of the movie theater, which can be said to be full of water, and there are stalls selling food there, and it is the only one. The business is booming. Everything was sold out by noon.Dad guarded the empty stall, while Mom and Xiaoxiao hurried home to fry beans, make sugar water, and even sell all the pickles that Mom pickled.Zhang Xiaoxiao also grabbed Lele, who was playing with her friends at the door of the house, to help. Zhang Xiaoxiao fried beans at home, and her mother and Lele moved the fried beans and sugar water to the entrance of the cinema. Later, my mother was tired from running, and I took turns with my father to let my father carry it, and my mother kept the stall.The family is as busy as a war.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the last movie hadn't ended yet. All the fried beans at home were sold out, the sugar was gone, and my mother's pickles were all sold out.The whole family was too tired to fall apart.

The family sat down in the evening and did the math. The gross income was more than 600 yuan, and the food sold in one day on the market day was the same as the ten days in front of the school, that is, the sales in two weeks.The stock of beans and melon seeds is already empty. If this continues, the stock will become a problem, so I have to ask my grandfather to drive a horse-drawn cart to buy from village to house every day.

Zhang Xiaoxiao proposed to put up a sign at the door of the Lele School Supplies Store, "Buy a lot of soybeans, broad beans, and melon seeds." People passing by saw it, and over time, some people came to sell it.This idea was later verified and indeed feasible.

Mom and Dad sold sweets at the entrance of the cinema on the market day. After dinner at night, they quickly collected the fried seeds and sugar water and rushed to the entrance of the cinema.In the evening in the county town, the entrance of the movie theater is crowded with people. Many young people, even if they don’t watch movies, go there to join in the fun and look at movie posters.Groups of three or four stood there chatting, watching beauties and handsome men.

At that time, people's life was step-by-step, and they rarely had the awareness of doing business, so there were very few people doing business. As long as someone did it, no matter what they sold, they could make money.After more than a month of exercise, Mom and Dad have also figured out some tricks.They didn't know where they bought a popcorn machine, and they started selling popcorn again. They also bought a tricycle, which made it much more convenient to move goods every day.

Some people saw that their parents' business was booming, and followed their example and started selling snacks at the entrance of the cinema.Later, it gradually developed to four or five families.The competition has become stronger, and Mom and Dad have added various businesses such as selling popsicles.The stalls are getting bigger and bigger.

Mom and Dad seem to be more and more interested in making money, more unpredictable, and busier.For the fields of their hometown, they have no time to take care of them.Grandparents are old, and they can't handle so many fields. Mom and Dad decided to give the fields to others, and then collect a little grain every year.

At the beginning, the grandparents didn’t agree with anything. Later, they came to see that their son and daughter-in-law were really busy and earn a lot of money. They had to agree and decided to leave a small piece of land for them to grow. Vegetables, and let others grow the rest.

Grandma intends to give up the land to her aunt and Zhang Weijun's family, thinking that no matter how good it is, it should be given to her relatives first, but grandpa and Zhang Xiaoxiao firmly disagree with letting Zhang Weijun's family plant it.Grandpa objected because he couldn't understand the behavior of Zhang Weijun's family at all. What Zhang Xiaoxiao thought was that the land would become more and more valuable in the future. Let Zhang Weijun's family plant it, fearing that they would be reckless in the future. That's who they are.I am afraid that there will be no clear dispute over the ownership of the land in the future.It is better not to have anything to do with them now than to worry about it in the future.

Grandpa and grandma had a big fight because of this matter. Grandma scolded grandpa for being hard-hearted and disregarding family affection, but grandpa said grandma had long hair but short knowledge.It's hard to tell the good from the bad, but it's obviously a wolf cub, but he wants to lead him into his sheep's nest.

Later, it was finally planted by my aunt's family and Uncle Li's family who had a good relationship in the village.

Zhang Xiaoxiao proposed to write an agreement to explain the ownership of this land, so as not to be unclear after a long time.Everyone thinks that they are all relatives and friends, there is no need for this, but Zhang Xiaoxiao insists on it again and again.

Uncle said openly: "It's good to write it down, everything will be clear and refreshing, and there will be nothing involved in the future."

Mom is a little embarrassed. "This child is really ignorant. My aunt's family and Uncle Li's family are not outsiders. Don't worry about it. If you don't worry about it, I won't make you feel wronged!"

"It's okay, it's okay to write it down, and what you say with a smile makes sense. Since you planted it for us out of kindness, we should also show some city spirit." Uncle Li hurriedly echoed.

In the end, everyone signed an agreement detailing the ownership of the land, and everyone had a copy of the agreement.
