Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 31 Sales
Buy a large color TV and a DVD player, which can play movies, songs and videos teaching dancing.After dinner, if everyone wants to dance, they will play songs and dance videos. Everyone dances along, so lively.If there is no banquet during the day, you can play a movie. It costs a few cents a game, and there must be people who are willing to watch it.

Even if someone is throwing a banquet, the big TV can also come in handy. Regardless of whether it is a wedding banquet or a funeral banquet, it can play the appropriate disc, which is definitely more interesting than a dry banquet.

There is a shop in the town that specializes in renting discs. Ju Wenqi and his wife can go there to rent more discs at a time, and change batches every few days, which is much cheaper than buying discs.

The first night of the ballroom's opening is free of charge, and people from the village and outside the village can come and play if they want to.Ju Wenqi and his wife specially roasted a lot of melon seeds to entertain the people who came to play. Although they didn't make money this night, they made enough popularity.

From the next day onwards, no matter watching a movie during the day or going to dance at night, you have to pay. A few cents per person is not too much, and everyone can afford it.

I heard that when Cai Meiyu didn't want money on the first night, she got together with a group of old women who had a good relationship with her and said that Ju Laosan was stupid, and sooner or later she would pay all three daughters.

Cai Meiyu rolled her eyes while eating melon seeds and said contemptuously: "It costs thousands of dollars just to buy the TV and that DVD player. How many years does he have to open a restaurant dance hall to earn back the capital? I think it's useless to deal with those things." Why will their family cry in the future!"

Others echoed, and the second daughter-in-law, Li Qiuju, also said: "There are only three girls in the family who don't even have a son, and they think about making a lot of money all day long. What can they do if they make a lot of money? Dowry for a girl? Just the three of them Daughter, no one dares to marry you if you sit with mountains of gold and silver."

A woman who didn't get along well with Li Qiuju said in a strange way: "That's not sure. The third girl from your third uncle's family is good at studying. It will not be easy to find a partner after entering university and working in the city."

Li Qiuju was most annoyed when others mentioned Ju Ling's grades in front of her, and she gave the woman a sideways look, stopped talking and just ate melon seeds silently.

Cai Meiyu didn't care about the quarrel between her daughter-in-law and others, she just said to herself: "I think the ballroom of the hotel in the third family's restaurant will be open for a month at most, and it will be yellow sooner or later. Anyone who doesn't spend money is willing to go and see it. Time to see who else will go."

The others still echoed, waiting to see the business of Ju Laosan's family.

Unfortunately, the scene they wanted to see never appeared.

After the normal charge, many people came to play during the day and night. On the eve of New Year's Day, Ju's Restaurant even hosted a wedding banquet.

The banquet was hosted by a family from Sanpangzitun, who had some relatives with Zhang Yongmei. During the phone conversation, Ju Wenqi promised that the melon seeds and sugar needed for the banquet would be provided by the restaurant. Flowers and red paper needed for wedding banquets, etc. The hotel can also be a monk before agreeing to do it here.

The melon seeds are grown at home, just spend some time frying them, and you don’t need to spend money to buy them.For candy, just buy ordinary fruit candy wrapped in happy letter candy paper, not to mention the big red happy letter, garland and red paper, which can be reused after the banquet, and it doesn’t cost much.

Because there are many things provided for free, people who hold banquets will feel that it is particularly cost-effective, and they are very happy when they book a banquet.

A wedding banquet was held with great excitement and joy, and everyone who came to the banquet thought it was good. Ju's restaurant not only made money but also earned word of mouth.

There was still a lot of soda left over from the banquet during the day, and when someone came to dance at night, they saw soda piled up in a corner and asked Ju Wenqi if they could sell it.How to sell is not to sell, Ju Wenqi sold a bottle without saying a word.

If there is one, there are two, and nearly two cases of soda were sold this night.

After closing the door and returning home, Ju Wenqi mentioned this while chatting, and a flash of light flashed in Ju Ling, who was still awake, and thought of a good idea to increase income.

Some people who go to the dance hall will bring their own peanuts, melon seeds or oranges and apples. It is quite comfortable to sit down and chat while eating when you are tired from dancing.

However, there are still many snacks that they will not bring over, because these snacks have to be bought in small shops.

If the dance hall sells some snacks that are only sold in small shops, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

It's like soda.People who come to play can't think of drinking it when they don't have it, but when they see it, they might want to have a bottle, and if one drinks it, others may want to drink it too.

Ju Ling told Ju Wenqi what she thought, and Ju Wenqi was also very moved, but Zhang Yongmei was full of worries.

"Would Changfu be happy if our family also sells things? There is only one small store in our village. Aren't we trying to compete with him for business?" Zhang Yongmei said worriedly.

In fact, Ju Changfu has expressed dissatisfaction many times since they opened the restaurant, because Ju's restaurant buys wine, vegetables, meat and eggs directly instead of going to small shops. Of course Ju Changfu is not happy if he doesn't make money.

No one stipulated that only Ju Changfu's family could sell things in the village. If he had the ability, he would open a restaurant and a dance hall to take over all the business. If he didn't have the ability, don't beep.

Of course, this is what Ju Ling thinks in his heart, and he can't tell his parents directly.

She said implicitly: "Sooner or later, someone in our village will have to open a small store, and someone will definitely steal the business from him. If he doesn't like it, he can do nothing. Mom, it's reasonable and legal for us to open the store. I'm afraid he will do something."

"I think what Xiao Budian said makes sense," Ju Wenqi said vaguely, puffing out a cigarette, "Anyway, no matter who hosts a banquet, there must be no shortage of soft drinks. It's not in vain if we store more, and it's okay if no one buys it alone."

"I'll make some candied haws when I come back from school tomorrow. I think the candied haws will sell well," Ju Ling said with a smile.

Ju Wenqi immediately refused: "No. You study hard, take a rest when you are tired, and don't mess around."

Ju Ling wanted to say that making candied haws would not affect her studies at all, but she was afraid that Ju Wenqi and his wife would be even more worried about saying this, so they simply obeyed and waited for the winter vacation to talk about making candied haws.

The last hurdle before the winter vacation is naturally the final exam.

It is no surprise that Ju Ling's stable performance is still No.1, and Zhou Yan is also second.

Compared to the Ju family's joy over Ju Ling's results, the Zhou family's performance towards Zhou Yan's results was very flat.

Ju Ling was quite puzzled, and took the opportunity to ask Zhou Yan: "I always feel that your parents don't care about your grades. Am I wrong?"

Zhou Yan frowned and replied wearily: "No mistake, they don't care about my grades at all, do you know why?"

Of course Ju Ling didn't know, she shook her head and waited for Zhou Yan's answer.

Zhou Yan continued: "Because they feel that studying is useless, it is better to come down to farm as soon as possible. In the words of my father, 'The cows that do not go to school are not the same as the cows that go to high school. Why do you spend money? Money to go to school’, they think that I just need to study for a few years and know how to read, and the most important thing is to get married and have children early so that the old Zhou’s family can have a future.”

Ju Ling really didn't expect the couple to have such thoughts on Wednesday, and didn't know how to appease Zhou Yan for a while.
