Chapter 61 Chapter 61
61. Buying and selling
This master asked for a lot of firewood, three loads of it, and it was the dryest and easiest to ignite kind of firewood. The transaction price was six yuan.

Aunt and grandma are very happy, this city is so good, everything can be exchanged for money, this is a conclusion they have come to this day.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "Do you believe what I said now? Doing business can support us. As long as everyone needs things, we can sell them for money, but doing business depends on how to make money and not too hard. For example, we sold pig blood and earned six yuan in just two hours, but selling firewood was much harder. The firewood you two spent three days on was only sold for six yuan. The degree of hard work is The price of selling pig blood is many times higher, so when we compare it, we can know which one is the most profitable and saves effort.”

"But there is only one market day a week, and we are free at other times to collect some firewood and sell it. This is much better than farming at home every day." Aunt said.

Zhao Xiaoling does not agree with this. There are many ways to make money in business, and the last thing she needs is this way of making money by doing hard work.She said before that firewood can also be sold, just as an example, but she didn't expect her aunt to sell it when she said so.Sell ​​it as soon as it is sold, let them try everything, but it is not advisable to make money in the long run, this method is too stupid, and it won't make much money.

Zhao Xiaoling said: "Auntie, grandma is too old to go to the mountain to collect firewood every day. You can collect a little, it's just for household use, and you can't sell it for money anymore. Let's think about ways to make money. For example, you can go to the mountain to make firewood. Brooms are sold, and the thin bamboo can also be made into brooms for sale, big ones can be made into big brooms, small ones can be made into small ones, and grass can be woven into straw mats, all of which can be tried.”

Zhao Xiaoling was distressed. At this time, the economy had not yet recovered and supplies were scarce. Unlike later generations, there were many things that could be wholesaled and sold.They are all from the mountains, and what they are most familiar with in their life is the things on the mountains, so they can only find things from the mountains to sell.

Inspired by Zhao Xiaoling, my aunt and grandma really went to the mountains to find wild bamboos or twigs to make brooms for sale.Making these things is not as hard as Kanchai, and it costs more than Kanchai.

On the next market day, they have already tied up more than 20 brooms, large and small.

On the morning of the market day, they got up early, went to the food company to collect the blood of ten pigs, and started cooking it at home.

They started selling at 10:30 in the morning and continued to sell until 22:28 in the afternoon. All the pig blood was sold out. Except for the capital, they made a net profit of [-] yuan. They sold more than ten brooms for [-] yuan. Today, they earned [-] yuan.

At this time, grandma and aunt no longer doubted that they would not be able to support themselves here. Their eyes lit up with excitement, discussing where to find bamboo bushes, and even discussing going to further mountains to find mountain products to sell.

Zhao Xiaoling also felt much more at ease, so let them toss about it!After a few more tosses, they will be able to accumulate some experience.Only when the situation improves in the future can we grasp the opportunity keenly.

Zhao Xiaoling goes to and from get off work every day, and after returning home, she helps her aunt and grandma do various handicrafts. They don’t know where they cut some reed mats and straw mats. Anyway, on the market day, there are many things on their stalls. stand up.

Someone on the street saw Zhao Xiaoling and the others selling pig blood to make money, and they became jealous. Two other families followed Zhao Xiaoling and the others and started selling pig blood.

My aunt and grandma were very worried when they saw it, fearing that they would take away their business.

For this kind of situation, Zhao Xiaoling had expected it a long time ago. People have the ability to imitate. When people see that their business is good and making money, it is impossible not to follow suit, so Zhao Xiaoling does not take it seriously. On the other hand, if there are people selling things on this street Well, this street is bustling, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages for them. As for the things she sells, she can resell other things.

On market day, the entire county only kills ten pigs a day. Others take the blood of a few pigs, but Zhao Xiaoling and the others can only take two or three pigs' blood, which is not enough to sell at all. It was agreed that they want all the pig's blood, but their relationship is much tougher than Zhao Xiaoling's.

Zhao Xiaoling could only think of other ways to resell other things. She had dealt with the purchase of the public canteen, so she approved some rice noodles from the public canteen, and made some rice shrimps to sell cold rice noodles and cold rice shrimps. A bowl costs ten cents, plus two taels of food stamps. Zhao Xiaoling has made cold rice noodles before, so the taste is very good, and the business is naturally booming, and the cold rice noodles don’t need firewood to cook. When they are about to sell out, hurry to The public cafeteria buys another basket, which can flexibly control the sales situation.

That day, Zhao Xiaoling was busy selling cold rice noodles at the stall, and someone called her, "Zhao Xiaoling, it's really you!"

Zhao Xiaoling looked up, it was Li Qing.

Zhao Yulan at the side also saw her, and said pleasantly: "Qingqing, are you coming to the market? Come, have a bowl of cold rice noodles. We made this ourselves. It tastes good. You can try it."

Li Qing politely refused, she was even more curious about how they would sell things here, "No need, auntie, why are you selling things here?"

"Make some money and spend it!"

During this period of time, the village was busy with farming, and every household was so busy that Zhao Yulan's family had the most fields, but she was nowhere to be seen. People in the village found out after inquiring that Zhao Yulan was beaten away by her mother-in-law, so she came here Do business to make money.

It seems that their business is very good. There are many people who eat cold rice noodles, and there are also many people who sell straw mats and brooms. The three of them are too busy. Zhao Xiaoling just said hello to Li Qing and went to work my own.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoling and Zhao Yulan going in and out of the back room from time to time, Li Qing asked curiously, "Xiaoling, do you live here?"

"Yes! This is the house we rented."

Zhao Xiaoling didn't want the villagers to know that she bought this house. No one could believe that she, a 16-year-old who had just graduated from school and started working, could afford such a house, so she unanimously said that the house was rented by them. Yes, the most important thing is that she doesn't want the old lady of the Tang family to know that they bought the house. If she knows, there will be another commotion.

"Xiaoling, don't you work in a steel factory? Why are you selling cold rice noodles?"

"Retire today!" Zhao Xiaoling said and went to greet the guests.

"Xiaoling, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you find a job in a steel factory? It's not easy to find such a job." Li Qing said after Zhao Xiaoling.

"A friend helped find it."
