V1.Chapter 6 (1/2)
”Xiaolan, how do you know how to sell things?”
Liu Fang held the money and felt that her daughter was too smart to want.
Xia Xiaolan asked confidently, ”do you still need to learn?”
The onlookers looked sad. There was no need to learn. Then we must live to be dogs at an old age.
After a while, the aunt who bought duck eggs led several people to rush over, ”it's her. People haven't run yet!”
Liu Fen's face turned white with fear and thought there was something wrong with the duck egg. Aunt led her companion to surround Xia Xiaolan. ”Is the duck egg still the price just now?”
Xia Xiaolan nodded, ”of course, it's cheaper to buy more.”
Aunt's companions talked and wanted Xia Xiaolan to be cheaper. For a while, they said that wild duck eggs were not as delicious as eggs, and for a while, they were picky about their size. Xia Xiaolan just laughed. It was the buyer who disliked the goods. She just let these people have a mouth addiction.
Sure enough, seeing Xia Xiaolan's lack of oil and salt, she always greeted people with a smile. The three people brought by Aunt still divided up the remaining wild duck eggs. 84 eggs, sold to 4 people, all bought 21... Xia Xiaolan had already calculated that she wanted to catch the customer's psychology of taking advantage.
Of course, the change of a penny of these three people will be confiscated.
I was picky before. I really enjoyed it when I paid for it.
Xia Xiaolan's miscalculation is that several small wild ducks she brought are difficult to sell. The city people live in a small place and have no surplus food to feed the ducks. Her wild duck cubs can't sell.
84 wild duck eggs were sold for 9 yuan and 20 cents. Xia Xiaolan gave the money to Liu Fen, but Liu Fen asked Xia Xiaolan to collect it by herself. Xia Xiaolan wants to look around the city for opportunities to make money. The one selling sweet potatoes comes together:
”Do you duck cub exchange sweet potatoes?”
This man is jealous of Xia Xiaolan's selling wild duck eggs. People in the city have no place to raise them. He has a place!
Xia Xiaolan really doesn't want to eat sweet potato. If she eats too much, her stomach will swell, but Liu Fen is willing to change it. The output of sweet potato is high. Now it is the harvest time. A kilogram of sweet potato may not be able to change an egg. Eggs were expensive in 83.
Xia Xiaolan thought for a moment and asked the man to give him an integer of 20 jin. All eight little wild ducks were given to him.
This person is not happy:
”It's a big loss to raise a big fly for one catty!”
Of course, the untamed wild duck will fly away. Xia Xiaolan especially seriously asked the fellow: ”cut off the hair of its wings. Where does it fly? If you think there are too many 20 jin sweet potatoes, I'll take them back and raise them myself. ”
Sweet potatoes really can't sell at a high price. Ducks can be fed with vegetable leaves, grass and earthworms. In addition to trouble, they don't cost food. When eight ducks are big enough to lay two eggs, they will pay at least 20 cents a day. Three yuan a month, 36 yuan a year.
Xia Xiaolan calculated the account to the other party. The villagers didn't bargain. They really exchanged 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes for ducklings. Mother and daughter put sweet potatoes in reed baskets and turned along the county.
Liu Fen never knew that money was so easy to earn.
The money for selling wild duck eggs plus 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes, how can there be 10 yuan. Rural people earn less than 200 yuan a year by digging in the fields. Some of this money is also used in seeds and chemical fertilizers. There is very little money they can really save... These money, the children of the family have to go to school. It's best to pray that the family don't get seriously ill.
10 yuan a day, 300 yuan a month?
Liu Fen can't figure out how much money she can make a year.
Unfortunately, this wild duck egg can't be picked up every day. Liu Fen had a little pity for the little duck: ”Mom can raise it too. It's a long time to cut its wings and let it lay duck eggs.”
Xia Xiaolan was not impatient. She knew that Liu Fen was a real rural woman and had little insight. In the 1980s when the news and ideas were blocked, people were honest and obedient. If she wanted to take Liu Fen out of the broken place of Dahe village in the future, she had to slowly let Liu Fen change her ideas.
