Chapter 648: Got Enough Money
The good weather for several days in a row made the village seem busy and prosperous.
The whole village was hung with dried fish again after a month. Ye Yaodong took advantage of the broken machine and hired someone to repair it. It was a rare day off.
But before going to sea, he started weighing goods again. In the past few days, the villagers have produced a large amount of dried fish.
Everything in his house is still basically in good condition, and now he has to collect a large amount of it. Today, his eldest brother and his second brother's house can still pile it, but if they collect it in the next few days, they will not be able to pile it.
We have to take all the dried fish at home to the city to free up space.
The army only asked for a 2,000 kilogram weight that day, but they didn't ask for it later. They probably haven't finished digesting it yet, and they don't know when they will ask for it again. They took it to the city to store it, which will be convenient when the time comes.
He also thought that he had not been to the city for five or six days. He would transport dried fish at night and take a look at what Lin and his mother were selling to see if he was used to it. He would also bring him some vegetables to eat and drink.
Unexpectedly, the second elder got used to it very well. Not only did he get to know the four or five shop owners around him, but he also planted mustard greens and leeks on the roadside.
"Fortunately, you brought dried fish here today. Otherwise, I would have to call you back after daybreak. If I sell it for another day or two, it will be sold out."
Ye Yaodong actually calculated the time to come here. If he didn't ship a few hundred kilograms and just sold it at retail, it would be sold out in almost two days.
And he didn't receive a call, which was a pity. He thought that the treacherous boss Zhou could give him a few thousand kilograms of goods, but now he can only let it go and sell it slowly.
At two or three o'clock in the morning, when the market has the most customers, Ye Yaodong went to unload the goods first. After unloading, he also went to the store to help.
Until the sun rises and the sky is bright, there are fewer people coming and going in the market, but there are still many, but it is relatively less busy.
Ye Yaodong was so busy that he took off his cotton-padded jacket. He waited until eight or nine o'clock before sitting down to rest completely, taking a breath and taking a sip of tea.
"Dad, are there so many people here every day lately? Why do I feel like there weren't so many here a few days ago?"
"Isn't that right? It probably rained a few days last week, and the new market has just opened, so there are not many people there. In the past few days, the number of people has been increasing day by day. Since it opened yesterday, we didn't even sit down. Pass."
"That's a good thing."
"Yes, yes, that's a good thing. This store is really the right thing to open. I was worried that the money you spent was not worth it. Now it seems to be good. It won't be long before I can get my money back."
Father Lin said as he handed him the cloth bag he was carrying, "All the money from the morning sales is in it. I collected all the sales in the past few days and hid them in another shop, otherwise there would be so many people coming and going in the shop. Yes, I put it in a drawer, and I don’t know when someone took it away.”
Mother Lin also added with a smile, "There are hundreds of them, and we don't even dare to put them on our bodies. As usual at this time, we take them back and hide them before coming back."
"Hey, it's a good thing that you, my parents, are here to help me make money. Otherwise, I would have made a lot less money. Without you, I wouldn't be able to be a hands-off shopkeeper so easily."
This was his true words. Only now did he realize how much he had missed in his previous life.
As he spoke, he took off his cotton-padded jacket and poured the money in the bag into his own bag.
"Haha, we are all a family. I don't want to thank you, but you'd better bring me over. I've seen a lot of sellers come here to buy dried fish in the past two days. Some people want five or six dollars every day. It’s ten pounds, and in the afternoon there were still people coming to buy it.”
"There is no Da Jiefang, otherwise the tractor will be finished in one trip. I will go to the market later to see if anyone knows anyone who drives Da Jiefang. The provincial tractor will have to be pulled several times, and there is still work waiting for me at home. You can’t just run here every day.”
"That's right, it's best if you can send it over in one trip. It saves you having to take time to run around. The weather is nice these days. If you don't come out for a day, it will be a loss for the day."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I'll go to the market and buy breakfast on the way back."
"No, no, we have a pot of porridge cooked on the stove and it has been simmering there. We can just eat this later. Don't spend money outside."
He also saw the coal stove in the corner. It probably started cooking as soon as the door was opened, and there was no fire underneath.
"Then I'll buy some meat buns and eat them with porridge to make up for the meal."
There is no earthen stove here, only a coal stove, which is a bit inconvenient for cooking. The two old people probably haven't eaten decent food in the past few days, let alone meat. At most, it comes with dried fish, although in the past they have always eaten I can’t eat meat more than once a year, but it’s really inconvenient to live here.
If they bring all the goods at home to the store here, they probably won't have room to sleep and move around.
Ye Yaodong thought as he walked out. He might go to a nearby village later to see if there are any old houses that can be rented or bought, but he didn't know whether they would be allowed to buy them.
Logically speaking, the control is not strict now, as long as the village agrees.
There is a house nearby, which is convenient for food and accommodation. Moreover, there is a market here, and it will only be a matter of time for the surrounding area to develop. It is not a loss to have a nest there.
Nowadays, old houses are very cheap, and he has a lot of money. It is not a problem to buy a small room for the two elders to live in first.
The second elder shouted from behind, telling him not to buy it, and they could just eat porridge. Ye Yaodong pondered this matter and did not look back.
"Shop No. 12, Ye Yaodong's phone number, Store No. 12, Ye Yaodong's phone number..."
A half-grown boy ran past him like a gust of wind, shouting as he ran, which instantly pulled him back from his thoughts.
He quickly turned around and grabbed the young man at a trot, "Do you have my phone number? Where is it?"
"Ah? You are Ye Yaodong. In the market, they said they would call back in five minutes. You go and wait."
"Lead the way, lead the way..." Ye Yaodong pulled the young man and hurried to the market. His heart was burning. He only left one phone number in the market for Ah Qing and Boss Zhou.
It was nothing, and Ah Qing wouldn't know how to call. He was more likely to call from Boss Zhou.
There are too many dried fish piles at home. Although there is no need to worry about selling them slowly, the pile cannot be piled up. Selling them out early can save trouble. The two old people can go home for a few days and rest.
Ye Yaodong walked in a hurry when he entered the market, but when he came out, his steps became extremely brisk, and his face was full of spring breeze. A fool would know that something good was coming.
One phone call not only delivered 3,000 kilograms of goods, but also solved the problem of transportation. Boss Zhou himself knew someone who opened Dajiefang. He could go to the door to pick up the goods by himself, instead of having to transport them to the market one by one. Come here.
It was extremely trouble-free, and the price was reduced to 4 cents per catty, which was equivalent to selling all the dried fish at home in one fell swoop.
As expected, business is easy to do these days, and you can sell anything.
He happily bought five more big meat buns and returned to the shop. Father Lin and Mother Lin had already eaten the porridge, and filled a bowl for him and set it aside to cool.
There are two small bowls on the table. One contains a few pieces of dried fish, and the other contains half dried radish and mustard. There are two small jars on the side, which are jars for radish and mustard. They are the same as when I first arrived a few days ago. The meals are exactly the same.
He thought he had just come here a few days ago and hadn't settled in completely and wasn't familiar with the surrounding area, so he just ate casually. Unexpectedly, he was still like this...
No, at least there is an extra bowl of dried fish...
He could already imagine their lunch and dinner...
It was a mistake, but luckily it was discovered early.
He probably saved the bowl of porridge on the table and put a bowl specially for him. Otherwise, they wouldn't know that he came here early this morning.
I will rent a house for them later. I have to have an earthen stove, so I can cook some serious meals, and have a house where I can sleep more peacefully.
Living in a village, you can also exchange some vegetables with the villagers, which is also more convenient.
"Eat two buns to make yourself full. They're still warm."
"You eat, you eat, it's enough for us to eat porridge..."
"I've just eaten two. One more is enough. Each of you can eat two, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Knowing that he eats more than them, they would probably be willing to eat.
Mother Lin smiled and said: "Although your business is good, you can't spend money like this. Five big meat buns cost 50 cents."
"Eat it, it's nothing, it's just a pound of dried fish. You can help me sell two to three hundred pounds a day."
After finishing his meal, he went to visit the nearby village.
Father Lin asked curiously: "I thought I heard someone from far away saying that they had your phone number, right? I see you followed that child."
"Ah, right!" When I came back, I was distracted by the food. Now I hurriedly rented a house for them and forgot to tell them.
"Boss Zhou, who was here a few days ago, called and said he wanted 3,000 kilograms. He would come tomorrow to pick up the goods. I said the tractor delivery might not arrive at what time tomorrow. He said he would just ask someone to drive Dajiefang to my village. load."
The quality must be guaranteed and so on. If not, there is no need to say these things. This is for sure. He also has confidence in his own things. He has basically touched every bag.
Father Lin was overjoyed, "3,000 kilograms. Are you going to buy that much at once?"
"Is this person so rich? With such a large quantity, how are they going to sell it?"
"You are stupid. People have had great liberation and they still worry about selling. Then they must sell it all over the country. This is no better than selling it here."
Mother Lin smiled and patted her forehead, "Look at me, I'm so happy. The liberation was a long-distance trip, back and forth across the country, what's not easy to sell? Selling so much at once is comparable to how many kilograms we have. Sell it, it saves a lot of trouble.”
"Who says it's not?" Father Lin looked at Ye Yaodong again, "Can we have so many at home?"
"Yes, I weighed several hundred kilograms yesterday. I brought a cart over in the morning. The rest should be almost enough to count. If not, I can collect a little more when I go back in the evening."
"The weather has been good these days, and in the next few days, I can stock up on several thousand kilograms more. I was originally worried that there would be no place to store the goods, and I would have to transport the goods several times to the city for storage. Now it's better, and it saves a lot of trouble. . When the market here is sold out, I will go back to the village to rest for a few days."
"It doesn't matter to us. It's important for you to make money here. Eat first, eat first. After dinner, let's go to another store. I'll give you the money I've earned from selling goods these days. You can count it and take it back in the afternoon. Save some money. It’s not safe for people to come and go here.”
Ye Yaodong nodded.
After getting the money, he estimated that the tail payment of the big boat was enough, and there was no shortage of money.
