Chapter 127 A great harvest
at the same time.
There were fewer people buying things at the entrance of the convenience store, and there were only Lin Dashan and Liu Xiao'e in the store. The couple had just finished their meal and came over to guard the store, replacing An Fan and Ding Zaichun to go out and eat.
There were few people buying things at this time of day. After Liu Xiao'e sent the last customer away, she saw a man carrying a load on his shoulder waiting at the side of the store door.
When the man saw Liu Xiao'e noticed him, he smiled, took out a bag from the basket and walked over.
Liu Xiao'e asked kindly, "Young man, what do you want to buy?"
The man placed the bag on the counter, opened it, and asked, "Do you accept small fish and shrimp?"
"Small fish and shrimps?" Liu Xiao'e stretched her neck and took a look. It was a bag of small dried fish.
Lin Dashan also stood up and looked at the dried fish in the bag. He picked up one, looked at it, and threw it back into the bag. "These small fish and shrimps are not worth much. There are plenty of them in ditches and ponds in the countryside."
Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy, thinking that he had been fooled. "Last time when I passed by your store, a female comrade inside said that she was buying dried fish here, and gave me 10 cents per pound, and asked me to dry the fish and shrimp at home and send them to me. You didn't accept them? What about that female comrade? Did she fool me?"
Lin Dashan and Liu Xiaoe looked at each other. The lesbian the man was talking about should be the youngest in their family.
"The female comrade you are talking about should be my daughter. Since she asked you to send it to us, we will accept it." Lin Dashan didn't know what Lin Shu was going to do with the dried fish.
However, seeing the dried fish in half-pound packages on the counter, I thought they were collecting them and packaging them to sell in the convenience store.
When the man heard that he was collecting them, his frown relaxed, and he turned around and took out a bag of small shrimps from the basket. "I put a lot of effort into getting these dried fish and shrimps. There were both small fish and shrimps when I caught them, but in order for you to accept them, my mother carefully selected them after drying them and separated them out. Look how clean they are."
Liu Xiao'e looked through the dry goods in the bag and found them to be very clean. The young man did not lie.
Lin Dashan helped to weigh it. "It's five pounds and four ounces in total. Young man, look at this scale, is it correct?"
The man nodded: "Yes, I weighed it at home and it was the same weight."
It would be easy if the weight matched. Liu Xiaoe took out fifty-four cents from her bag and handed it to him, "Young man, do you often come here to sell vegetables?"
The man took the money, counted it, and put it in his pocket. "It only comes seven or eight times a month. If you come every day, the vegetables in our private plot won't grow well. Do you want to send this dried fish next time?"
"Go ahead. Since my daughter asked you to send her, just send her over here."
After the man left with his load on his shoulder, Liu Xiao'e turned around and asked Lin Dashan, "Old man, what do you think the youngest child want these small dried fish for?"
There are countless small fish and shrimps like these in the ditches, canals and ponds in the countryside. Knowing that she was going to buy them, it would be better for her to catch more and dry them at home.
"Maybe they are for sale, just like those dried river fish, wrapped in oil paper, half a pound in a bag, for the convenience of neighbors." Lin Dashan pointed to the dried fish wrapped in oil paper on the counter.
Half a pound per bag, selling well recently, there are only about seven or eight pounds left in the store. When Dongfa comes up tomorrow, remember to ask him to go to the neighboring Dongkou Village to collect some next time.
It was already late when Gu Jiu and Lin Shu came back from their hike in the mountains, so they went to bed early and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, they woke up early and cooked breakfast, and decided to go to the old house for lunch. After making up their minds, Gu Jiu went to the state-owned farmers' market to buy vegetables, while Lin Shu stayed at home to wash and hang up the clothes they had taken off yesterday before going to the old house.
After Gu Jiu left, Lin Shu washed his clothes first, and then stored all the herbs he had picked yesterday into the system. Yesterday, Gu Jiu exchanged the herbs he had picked by himself for 260 yuan.
Although I haven't been up the mountain much during this period, people from several nearby villages help to collect herbs every day. Together with the herbs dug by my two sisters-in-law, after deducting the cost of purchasing, my daily income is between five and six hundred yuan.
The system's balance is now only two thousand away from forty thousand. Of the nearly forty thousand balance, Lin Shu went up the mountain yesterday and used the media collection function to collect nearly eight hundred yuan worth of herbs. Adding the two hundred and sixty yuan collected by Gu Jiu, their daily income yesterday was more than a thousand yuan.
In this era when people with a net worth of 10,000 yuan are rare, it is conceivable that nearly 40,000 yuan is a huge sum of money.
Lin Shu opened the system mall. The products in the system mall are now divided into two price levels, wholesale and retail.
Seeing the wholesale price above, the minimum order of rice and flour is 1,000 kilograms. She bought a 50-kilogram bag of rice and a 30-kilogram bag of flour and tied them to the back seat of the bicycle.
Browsing the mall page and thinking about adding some products to the store, Lin Shu finally saw that towels were purchased in batches of fifty and toothbrushes in batches of one hundred, so he directly bought fifty towels and one hundred toothbrushes.
Towels and toothbrushes are put in two bags and hung on the handlebars.
When they arrived at the old house, Ding Zaichun saw her carrying so many goods, so he hurried out of the store and helped her take down the toothbrush and towel, and carried the rice and flour into the kitchen.
"How did you carry such a heavy thing? Where's Gu Jiu?"
Lin Shu parked his bicycle in the old house, clapped his hands and said, "He went to buy groceries. Hasn't he come back yet?"
"I didn't see him come back. Are you having lunch here?" Ding Zaichun asked.
"Well, I have nothing to do today so I'd like to stay here." With that, the two of them walked into the store together.
Lin Dashan was checking the towels. When he saw Lin Shu coming in, he asked, "Youngest brother, this towel is made of pure cotton, right? How much is it?"
"Fifty cents a piece, and a toothbrush twenty cents."
The towels and toothbrushes purchased from the system mall are of very good quality, and the price without the invoice is quite a good deal.
Lin Dashan put towels and toothbrushes on the shelf and marked the prices. "You bought toothbrushes, but why didn't you buy toothpaste?"
"These products that require industrial vouchers are hard to get. Sometimes you can only get what you want. I'll buy toothpaste next time."
Lin Shu was ashamed. The system mall could not be exposed, and he could only lie to his biological father.
The customer standing outside the counter had been paying attention to the conversation between the father and daughter. When he heard that the towels were fifty cents each, he hurriedly asked Lin Dashan to give her two.
Some customers, seeing the new toothbrushes arriving, would quickly buy a few if they needed to replace their toothbrushes at home.
In less than half an hour, most of the new towels and toothbrushes were sold out.
When Gu Jiu came back from buying groceries, Liu Xiao'e asked him to help in the store, and she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Since she was not needed in the store, Lin Shu wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Liu Xiao'e was afraid that the smell of kitchen fumes would cause her morning sickness, so she drove her out.
Not long after, Liu Xiao'e brought out a bowl of spicy dried fish from the kitchen. "Youngest, this is the dried fish I made this morning. Try it and see how it tastes."
Lin Shu sniffed it and found it very fragrant. The red pepper and the silver dried fish made him hungry. "Mom, did you add black beans?"
"Well, try it and see if it suits your taste." Liu Xiao'e was worried about her pregnancy reaction and worried that she would not be able to eat.
