After Lu Qingqing entered the city, he went straight to the Tongzi Tower where he went last time.
Today is the weekend, and many people are at home after work.
As soon as they saw Lu Qingqing riding a bicycle carrying a familiar wooden barrel, people downstairs and on the balcony all said hello.
"Girl, you're finally here, I've been looking forward to you for two days!"
"Girl, wait for me. I'll get a lunch box and go down. Remember to leave it for me!"
Lu Qingqing smiled and responded one by one.
It’s still the old price of 80 cents per catty, and the scale is high enough to give a sufficient portion. If you meet someone who is cheerful, they will add an extra spoonful of braised pork soup.
None of the customers who bought from her left without smiling.
This is considered to have established a reputation.
As for someone taking business?
Lu Qingqing is not worried about this problem at all.
Firstly, no one can be like her, who is willing to put in so many things to clean pig intestines, and also put in so many seasonings for free.
This means that Li Guiqiu has never seen her. If she had seen her, she would definitely be said to be a prodigal.
Secondly, Guo Shida had told her early on that pig sewer would only be supplied wholesale to her.
It's okay for others to buy less and eat it yourself, but don't even think about buying it wholesale like her.
Lu Qingqing saw that the barrel was almost bottomed out, so he closed the lid and stopped selling it.
Pulling the car over to the side, he propped it up and studied how Xie Jiaci tied it up and how it could be strong and simple.
"Oh, girl, it's a good thing you didn't leave! My son's partner is coming to the house in the afternoon. I've been busy for a long time before I took the time to take a look. It's a shame I caught up!"
The fat lady who asked her to save some braised pig intestines the day before yesterday came over wearing an apron and shouting loudly.
Lu Qingqing had been waiting here for a long time and planned to leave if she didn't come again.
"Auntie, I promised to keep it for you, so of course I have to keep it for you!"
Lu Qingqing smiled and went over to open the barrel.
The fat aunt took the opportunity to hand over the lunch box in her hand. Lu Qingqing kept looking into the barrel while filling it.
When Lu Qingqing was almost prosperous and was about to be weighed, the fat aunt suddenly said:
"Girl, look, I forgot to ask, how do you sell your braised pig intestines?"
"Auntie, eight cents per catty."
Lu Qingqing kept moving his hands, "The remaining ones are two kilograms and two taels in total, so I'll give you one dollar and six."
The fat aunt smacked her tongue, "Eight cents per pound? Why is it so expensive? Girl, what is the price of pork these days?!"
Lu Qingqing felt strange.
You asked me to leave it for you. I wasted time here waiting for you for a long time. Now you come to bargain with me?
The fat aunt just calculated that all the meat would go into her lunch box, and she felt that it was not good for Lu Qingqing to bother with her anymore.
Lu Qingqing could see what she was thinking, but he didn't bother to talk to her anymore, with a plain smile on his face:
"Auntie, the braised pig intestines I sell are at this price. I just sold so many at this price. This gives you an extra two taels, so you won't suffer any loss."
Seeing that the fat aunt had no intention of paying, Lu Qingqing still held the lunch box in her hand.
The fat aunt rolled her eyes, "But these are the leftovers you sold. They are all leftovers. Are they still sold at the original price?"
"In my opinion, it's only fifty cents per catty. I'll take more than two catties of yours!"
Lu Qingqing almost laughed in anger.
Do you think I am unsellable leftovers?
Among the people standing and chatting downstairs, some had just bought Lu Qingqing’s braised pork.
As soon as they heard this, they all came out to speak out for Lu Qingqing, "Kejin damn, it's your fault. It's not like this braised pig intestines can't be sold. The little girl kindly kept it for you for so long, how could you do it?
Are you still trying to lower prices for others like this?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you are not very kind. Your Lao Zhang makes a lot of money every month, not less than a dollar or two!"
This is good, it saves Lu Qingqing's words.
She held the lunch box in one hand and the meat spoon in the other, smiling as she watched the fat aunt talk to her.
The fat aunt's face was almost unbearable, and she couldn't get angry at the neighbors.
He smiled coquettishly and said, "Yes, that's right. My son is about to get a wife. I'm thinking it would be better to save some money."
Lu Qingqing quickly got off the slope and said, "Hey, look at me, who has no eyesight. I still think that my aunt's family is not rich. If this is the case, my aunt is pitiful. It's not easy for me to do business. I'll give you the original price. It's a total of one dollar and seventy cents."
six!"
The fat aunt almost yelled at Lu Qingqing. She forced her last smile and took out a large amount of change from her trouser pocket.
After finding a dollar and seventy-six cents, he stuffed it into Lu Qingqing's hand and walked home with the lunch box.
Lu Qingqing happily put the money into his pocket.
She really didn't care about the few cents, she just wanted to make the fat aunt angry.
Even if the fat aunt doesn't buy her meat next time, she won't regret it.
Is it hard to find people who want to eat meat?
She is not a bad customer.
As soon as the fat aunt left, the aunties downstairs began to talk even louder.
"Whose daughter can marry that second-rate boy from her family?"
"That is to say, who in our area doesn't know Zhang Kejin's bad reputation? I'm afraid he got a little girl from outside who doesn't understand him to trick him!"
Lu Qingqing smiled and shook his head, putting the discussion behind him, and rode his bicycle back home briskly.
After dinner, I didn't bother to sit on the bench and count the money.
I made a total of 21.8 yuan today, and I made a net profit of 16.8 yuan after deducting costs!
Lu Zhenghao leaned on the bed and watched Lu Qing counting the money. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Girl, is this all the money you make from selling braised pork?"
Lu Qingqing smiled and raised the money to show off to her father, "That's right, Dad, I earned sixteen or eighty yuan today!"
"Is your daughter capable?"
Li Guiqiu almost threw the bowl on the ground when he heard this number.
"How much, girl?"
Lu Qingqing smiled and handed over the money, "Sixteen yuan and eighty dollars!"
Li Guiqiu never dreamed that her daughter could earn so much money in one day!
Even for workers working in the county, if they can earn 20 a month, they are considered to have high wages!
It can be imagined that Lu Qingqing's money was really a huge sum of money.
Lu Zhenghao calmed down and waved his hand to ask Lu Qingqing to keep the money:
"Girl, you earned this money yourself, keep it yourself and don't let others know."
Lu Qingqing responded crisply, but left only a ten-dollar bill and stuffed six and eight dollars into Li Guiqiu's hand.
"Father, mother, my third brother has been helping me wash pig intestines for the past two days, and you have helped me look after Dongdong. You deserve this money."
Li Guiqiu froze his hands in the distance and turned to look at Lu Zhenghao.
Just when Lu Zhenghao was about to refuse, Lu Qingqing quickly continued:
"I will have to ask my third brother to help me in the future. I'll treat this money as the money you saved for my third brother!"
Lu Zhenghao opened and closed his mouth slightly, and nodded to Li Guiqiu.
It's the first time your daughter is making money, so don't let her down.
And the third child is like this. If you don't leave him some money, what will happen to him when they wait a hundred years?
Lu Qingqing looked thoughtfully at Lu Mingyu, who was playing mud with Dongdong in the courtyard. The third brother often looked like a normal person, but with a low IQ.
If there is a chance in the future, it would be better to take him to the capital for a check-up.
When it got dark, the sound of Shen Cuiliu and Lu Xiao coming back came from the courtyard.
Li Guiqiu said that the two of them had disappeared after work in the morning, and even Lu Mingguo did not know their whereabouts.
Lu Qingqing moved a bench and sat in the corner of the yard thinking about something. In the dark, neither Shen Cuiliu nor Lu Xiao saw her.
"Mom, why do I see that he doesn't look very good and has a bad temper?" Lu Xiao asked suspiciously.
Shen Cuiliu waved her hands carelessly, "What's the use of being good-looking? If you don't look at the conditions in other people's homes, they have sewing machines, radios, bicycles, and only one son. After you get married, you can't have all the things. Is it yours?"
Lu Xiao still felt that this man was not good-looking, even worse than Xie Jiaci.
He muttered reluctantly, "Why should I call him Zhang Kejin? Kejin Kejin is so crude and ugly."
etc--
Lu Qingqing, who originally didn't want to pay attention to them, suddenly perked up her ears.
Zhang Kejin?
Why is this name so familiar?!
I remembered!
Isn’t this what the women downstairs were talking about, the fat aunt’s second-rate son!
The world is really small. Lu Qingqing never expected that his braised pig intestines would end up in Lu Xiao’s mouth!
Just thinking about it makes me feel unlucky.
But then he thought about what those people said about Zhang Kejin, and Lu Qingqing became interested again.
"Hey, Lu Xiao!" Lu Qingqing shouted.
Lu Xiao was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Ghost!"
After seeing clearly that it was Lu Qingqing, he stood firm, stamped his feet, and began to curse:
"You want to die, Lu Qingqing. You are hiding there and sitting there at night. You really want to scare people to death, right?!"
