Chapter 119 Bean sprouts business is good
When Zhou Tiantian's sisters returned to the Zhou family, they scolded a few mothers. After that, someone came. Zhou Tiantian told them directly that as long as they did not talk about the bullshit things in the East Courtyard, they were welcome at any time.
If you still talk about those topics, I'm sorry, my family is busy and I don't have time to take care of it.
Didn’t those people who were idle and had nothing to do come to the Zhou family just to discuss this? The Zhou family ignored it and they found it boring, so the people who had been around would not come.
It’s just right that I won’t come. It’s not far from the Chinese New Year. Who has no time to take care of them?
The Zhou family is very busy. In addition to cleaning, wall pasting, and dismantling and washing bedding, the Zhou family and Han Caiying are also busy soaking a lot of beans and sprouts.
This year is New Year's Eve on February 12th, and the Chinese New Year is relatively late. At that time, the weather is not cold, and the bean sprouts will not be frozen so easily when they are pushed out.
So Zhou Tiantian suggested to her aunt and mother that starting from the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, she would soak some beans and sprouts to rush back to Haoxing Market before the New Year.
Nowadays, there are very few vegetables in winter. In addition to cabbage, radish, potatoes, there are also pickles, sauerkraut and dried vegetables.
Whose family doesn’t have a few guests during the New Year? It would definitely be unrealistic to say that it was a meal of big fish and meat, but if you could have more fresh tricks, it would be good.
Bean sprouts are not expensive, they only cost two or three cents. If you buy a few kilograms of them, stir-fry or mix them, you can add some dishes, which is still very good.
During the Chinese New Year, no one cares about the 80 cents, and they are willing to buy some of them back.
After discussing with Han Caiying, Xu and his wife thought this idea was quite good.
Nowadays, several daughters in the family are old and can help with a lot of work. In addition, Yongping has also married a wife and the family has enough staff, so it is time to earn more money.
For this reason, Xu and Han Caiying also specially bought dozens of kilograms of mung beans, intending to give out some of the soybean sprouts and make some money in the past few days before the New Year.
Not to mention anything else, isn’t it good to buy some New Year’s goods at home after selling it?
As a result, the Zhou family became even busier, and the Zhou Tiantian sisters were bound to work hard.
The New Year was busy, and the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month began to come out of the basket.
This bean sprouts are very good, short, thick and fat. Everyone was very happy to see the white and tender bean sprouts.
I got up early and washed a basket of soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts, which was about 200 kilograms, and it just filled two wooden troughs.
Yongping and Yongqing and others helped, lifted the wooden trough to the sled outside, and covered the newly washed clean quilt on the top to prevent the bean sprouts from being frozen.
"Yongping, Lin Fang, you two go to the market together. Today I brought a lot of bean sprouts, and it's almost the New Year. There are many people buying New Year's goods. I'm afraid you can't get busy, so you can work together."
Seeing that everything was ready, Old Mrs. Zhou ordered her eldest grandson and her grandson to go to the market to help with her.
Zhou Yongping worked as an accountant in the third brigade. He had nothing to do in this winter. He didn't have to go to work at all. He was idle at home.
It’s better to take your wife to help and take Lin Fang along the way. Lin Fang will take over these things in the future.
The processing factory has already had a holiday, and Zhou Lili is still idle, but the old lady didn't dare to ask Zhou Lili to go with her to help.
If she hadn't helped sell bean sprouts last time, how could Liu Wendong have fallen in love with it? What could have caused the subsequent things?
My daughter is grown up and growing up well, so I should just calm down at home. There have been a lot of work at home these days, and I just happened to be helping with my work at home.
"When you go to the market, you will see some fresh New Year's goods. Remember to buy some and come back. This year, the family will not lack meat. When you got married, you killed two pigs and still have some left. It's enough to keep it for the New Year.
If you meet other things, buy some of them. This year is Lin Fang’s first year when he comes to our house, so you should be more decent.”
The old lady took out some money from her pocket and stuffed it to Lin Fang, asking her eldest grandson to watch and buy New Year's goods.
Lin Fang was very happy to take on such an important task, so she dressed up and followed Yongping, her mother-in-law and aunt, and dragged her sled to the Songjiang River.
The man who went to the market to sell bean sprouts left, and the old lady at home was not allowed to rest as she was in the air with her three granddaughters.
There are so many baskets of bean sprouts, and the water needs to be filtered every three hours. There are some beans left after washing the soybean sprouts in the morning, short bean sprouts, etc. You have to pick out the edible bean sprouts and keep them at home for a dish.
Not to mention, as the Chinese New Year approaches, there are other things to be busy with. After this day, the grandparents and grandchildren are really not calm.
"Mom, we are back. Today is good. The bean sprouts are very good at selling in the market." At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu and others came in from outside with joy. At a glance, they knew that the business was very good.
"The price of bean sprouts has increased today, 35 cents per kilogram, 3 kilograms per dollar, and a basket is sold for seven or eight more yuan than usual."
A basket of bean sprouts costs only 5 or 6 yuan. Generally, it can be sold for about 100 kilograms. Usually, it can be sold for more than 20 yuan for less than 30 yuan, but at this time it can be sold for more than 30 yuan.
Two baskets of bean sprouts can sell for more than 60 yuan, and the net profit of about 50 yuan a day is a lot. Can Xu be unhappy?
"Oh, that's great. Should I bring more tomorrow? Anyway, there are several baskets at home that can be sold tomorrow." Old Mrs. Zhou was even more happy when she heard this.
A total of more than a dozen baskets of bean sprouts were sold in this batch. If they were at the price of today, they would have earned hundreds of dollars just by selling bean sprouts before the New Year. How great would it be?
"We must bring more. The ones we brought today are not enough to sell. Many people later wanted to buy them but disappeared.
It’s better to have Tiantian’s idea. Our family sells bean sprouts on the market, so it’s easy to sell.
I regret it now. If I had known it, I would have soaked a few more baskets. Judging from the current situation, the closer it is to the age of the year, the easier it is to sell bean sprouts." Xu said with regret.
"Okay, this is great. If you sell these bean sprouts, you can buy more New Year's goods. It's pretty good for our family to have a fat New Year."
Old Mrs. Zhou was quite content. Now the houses in her home are filled with bean sprout baskets. Even if she wants to give more, she needs to have a place?
"I didn't eat at noon, right? It's cold and hungry. Come on, warm it up first. The rice is already in the pot, it won't take a while."
Old Mrs. Zhou was quite happy and hurriedly called her daughter-in-law and granddaughter into the house and asked them to go to the kang to warm up. The old lady led her granddaughters to work hard in the kitchen to cook and cook.
"Mom, today we heard about the fact that the surname Liu was in the market." Xu did not enter the house, but walked to the old lady and whispered.
"What's the matter?" The old lady was slightly stunned, then she remembered who her daughter-in-law was talking about.
"Mom, I heard from them that the boy named Liu seems to be disabled.
It’s not that his legs are disabled, but that’s where, I’m saying I can’t do that in the future.” Xu glanced at his nieces who were busy cooking there and whispered.
"It's worth it, it's worth it, and that kind of person deserves this end." The old lady gritted her teeth.
