110 Deviance(1/2)
The two bachelors were so anxious, but Okura said in an unhurried manner: "I think if you want to eat such delicious dumplings every day, you must be rich, so you must first find a way to make money.
"
"Hey--" The two bachelors were a little discouraged.
Isn’t this nonsense!
Who doesn’t know that as long as you have money, you can eat well?
But Gou Yao questioned: "It's not enough to just have money. You have to pay for the meat."
Okura took out a pile of meat tickets, patted them in his hands, showed them to the two bachelors, and then put them in his pocket:
"I have plenty of meat tickets here. As long as my two uncles have money, they can come to me and ask for tickets at any time——"
Before he could finish speaking, the two bachelors became excited again, looked at each other, and grabbed each other's hands: "Make money, make money, go and make money, Okura, tell me quickly, what are your ideas for making money?"
Obviously, even if they were given this pile of meat tickets, they would not have money to buy meat.
Okura made a very mysterious look and looked towards the door, as if to make sure no one was eavesdropping outside, and then said in a low voice:
"I discovered a problem. Conditions are now better than before. This year, many people gave New Year's money. My grandfather and grandmother gave them ten yuan to each grandchild."
Oops!
The two bachelors were so shocked by such a huge amount of lucky money that they couldn't close their mouths.
"But, these kids have money in their pockets but no place to spend it." Okura continued:
"If a seller of good stuff came to the village now, wouldn't the children be able to rob it like crazy?
For example, here comes the popcorn guy.
Of course, it’s best to sell candied haws on a stick. Adults and children eat a lot these days—”
Before he could finish speaking, Gou Yao interrupted him excitedly: "Candied haws on a stick, I know how to dip the candied haws on a stick, Okura, you don't know, your third grandfather was selling candied haws on a stick earlier!"
Okura Shin said, I should have known that Third Grandpa was selling candied haws, otherwise I wouldn’t have deceived you like this.
Shanyu, however, looked disappointed and poked the dog: "You know how to dip candied haws in sugar haws, how about you dip it in shit?"
Well!
The dog bit and immediately withered.
You can't get candied haws out of shit.
He understood what Shanyu meant, that is, if there is no sugar, what would you use to dip the candied haws?
Sugar!
I haven't seen that thing in years.
Now they all buy with tickets. They have neither money nor tickets, where can they buy sugar?
The two of them were not only wilted, but also looked deeply despairing.
Because they not only realized that there was no sugar, but also no sugar coupons, and even more, no capital.
What is a bachelor?
Lying there, there is no shade under the sky - so-called being so poor that you don't even have a hair on your head!
"Forget it, what are you going to eat dumplings for?" The ups and downs of emotions made Shanyu very weak. He slipped out of the kang and curled up like a dog on the rotten quilt.
Closed his eyes.
"I don't like eating dumplings that are too fragrant." The dog's bite was so withered that he almost shrank into the kang.
Seeing the two of them like that, Liang Jincang smiled. He thought of so many people who would lie flat in later generations.
Because no matter how hard I try, I can't live the life I want and can't reach the ideal height of life, I just lie down.
The two old bachelors found that there was no possibility of changing the status quo, so they might as well curl up and sleep in.
Liang Jincang took out two five-yuan bills from his pocket and slapped them on the edge of the kang: "This is my lucky money. I can use it as capital for you."
The mountain fish climbed up from the rotten bed.
The dog bites and the dog becomes energetic instantly.
But no one dared to touch the money.
It's just that the two of them have a clear understanding of each other, and they all have the same idea: With so much money, do they still need to do business?
Don’t they have meat tickets in Okura? Just go and buy meat-wrapped dumplings!
As soon as he saw the two old guys staring at the money, with glistening saliva coming from the corners of their mouths, Liang Jincang knew that what they saw was not money, but lots and lots of meat-filled dumplings.
"Hey uncles, I'll repeat it again, this money is lent to you as capital, capital, do you understand?"
Only then did the two of them regain their senses, looked at Okura with disbelief, and asked in disbelief: "Okura, do you really dare to lend us this money?"
Shanyu added: "Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to pay you back if we compensate?"
The dog bites: "But you can't do it without money, right?"
"You don't need to worry about this," Okura said:
"You two each take five yuan of the ten yuan capital.
It is said to be capital, but in fact it can be understood as base money. How can you do business without a little base money?
You go to the abacus to change some change, and you will find change when the time comes.
As for the raw materials at the beginning, which are sugar and hawthorn, I am responsible for getting these.
Even the base money and raw materials are regarded as my investment to my two uncles. If you make a profit, you will return the capital to me. If you lose it, it is mine and you don’t have to pay it back.
How about it?"
Okura suddenly proposed such a huge amount of supplies. The two old guys were so shocked that their eyes widened, their jaws were dislocated, and they almost hugged each other and shivered.
What you make is your own, and what you lose is the big position's. For the big position, this risk - in fact, there is no risk at all.
The so-called risk refers to uncertain factors, but for such a huge amount of materials, people on earth can be sure that the two bachelors will not be able to earn this money in this life.
They knew that Okura really wanted to help them, but suddenly asking them to do such a big deal completely overturned their decades-long understanding of life.
I only have five yuan in my pocket.
Five dollars!
What’s not a big deal!
Dog bite suddenly thought of another question:
"Okura, you just told us that today's children have New Year's money in their pockets, but the supply and marketing cooperatives open after the 15th. It is possible that they will spend all the money by the time the first lunar month comes."
Okura gave him a thumbs up:
"Uncle, as soon as I heard what you said, I knew you were very business-savvy.
Yes, it is possible that all the New Year's money in a child's pocket may be spent before the first lunar month is out.
So we have to take advantage of the fact that they have money in their pockets and have nowhere to spend it, and quickly sell candied haws."
Gou Yao asked: "When will you start doing it? After fifteen, you will do it right away?"
Shanyu said: "Isn't it too early? How can anyone start doing business before the first month of the year!"
Okura shook his head and smiled meaningfully at the two of them:
"If you do it after fifteen, it will be too late. From tomorrow on, you will sell candied haws."
ah!
The two bachelors looked like they had been slapped on the head, and turned into frozen chickens, staring at Okura.
I even suspected that I heard it wrong.
Okura ignored their surprise and continued:
"As long as we have settled the matter now, I will go get the raw materials right away.
The two uncles tied straw handles, cut bamboo skewers, and prepared pots and plates for dipping candied haws.
Dip it out tonight, and you two will sell it separately early tomorrow morning."
Today, in the first year of junior high school, are you preparing the ingredients for dipping candied haws?
The stiffness of the two quick-frozen broilers has increased.
In their understanding, the first month is the legal time for visiting relatives or serving relatives.
Nothing else can be done.
I can't even do farm work in the fields.
Because that would break the tradition left by our ancestors for thousands of years.
Of course, the two old bachelors basically have no relatives to go to, and no relatives would come to the old bachelor's home to visit relatives.
