The snow didn't stop the next day, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
Yan Yu was worried about the food they bought and went out in the wind and snow.
She only took the cat with her when she went out this time.
After I came back, I found that Gouzhu was very attached to her, wagging his tail and purring at her. When he saw her going out, he followed her closely and never left her.
"Hold on, I'll go find Uncle Qi to get you a sledge later. You'll have to rely on you when going out from now on!" Yan Yu rubbed its head.
Gou Zhi barked and his tail wagged even harder.
Yan Yu saw several trucks going to Huju to collect firewood and ran towards them against the wind.
"Brother Datie and Brother Ertie, are you going to Huju today?"
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to walk if it snows, so we won't let the little ones go, just the two of us," Datie said.
Yan Yu looked at the sky, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Datie, go to the government office to find my father and tell him that from now on we will go to Huju every three days. It will be the same day as the government office settlement day. Tianyue
It’s getting colder and colder, and it’s too hard to run every day.”
Ertie Dao: "Xiaoer, I go there every three days. There is too much firewood accumulated and I can't bring it back. What should I do?"
"It will be harder to find firewood in the future, and they will have to keep it for their own burning. There will definitely be less firewood sold to us than before."
What Yan Yu thinks is that the renovation of the fleet should be put on the agenda. When the snow falls, the current vehicles will no longer be usable, and it will be better to replace them with large sledges, that is, sleds.
"And tell my dad that I will go see him on the next settlement day."
The big iron and the second iron agreed.
Seeing them walking away, Yan Yu took Gouzi to Liang's house.
Because of the overhaul of the government office, Mr. Tian gave the county school half a month's leave.
She is not at home, and all the village's various accounts can only be counted on her Fengnian brother.
The same goes for her family's charcoal business and the grain account she bought yesterday.
Now everyone in the village knows that when it comes to keeping accounts, go to the Liang family's boy, and when it comes to money matters, go to the Yan family's boy.
The small courtyard of the Liang family was noisy.
Even the wind and snow could not stop the enthusiasm of the villagers.
These are all here to register and buy food.
The food purchased by Xiao'an Village is still in the internal digestion stage. If someone from the family goes with it, it will have priority. Other families will be ranked behind. Some people will definitely be able to buy it and some will not be able to buy it. However, everyone thinks this is fair. According to their efforts,
No matter how much it comes, it will make sense wherever you go.
This is not the first time Liang Fengnian has faced such a scene.
First, write down the companies that are selling this time and fill in the amount they want to buy.
"Uncles and aunts, please don't worry. After I ask the Yan family, we can discuss how to divide the rest." Liang Fengnian stood up and said to everyone politely.
"I have enough food, so I won't need it this time." Yan Yu answered.
Liang Fengnian's eyes lit up when he saw Yan Yu, "Xiao Er, you're here!"
"Well, let me come and take a look." She pointed to the pile of grain piled outside the Liang Family Courtyard and said, "It snows in Fengming, and it snows even more when it comes to our place. We have to take the waterway, so it's best to put the grain back home."
Bake it on the kang and put it in the cellar."
"We understand, Xiao Er, have you had enough sleep?" Hu Er asked with a smile.
Yan Yu: "You are full and full of energy!"
"Xiao Er, you can't go out far anymore. The weather has changed and it's very cold. You little guy will freeze to death!"
"Yes, stay at home well, Maodong."
"Your firewood and charcoal are both selling well. Just take good care of this stall. It will be enough for one winter."
…
People in the village are kind-hearted, so Yan Yu smiled and agreed: "Yeah, I won't go far away, I will stay at home more."
After asking for the account books from Liang Fengnian, Yan Yu returned home and started doing the accounting.
The profit from firewood may seem small, but it can't stand up to the large volume, and the profit is quite good.
She has been putting pressure on the production of charcoal, not accepting large orders, mainly selling it at retail, and also holding down the cost of collecting wood. But she can see that she is gradually balancing her income and expenditure. It is foreseeable that if she can continue to sell it until the spring of next year, she will make a profit.
Not small.
In addition to the accounts for the import and export of firewood, there are also accounts for the work of children in the village.
I remember very clearly who went to Huju and Yongning every day.
Yan Yu quickly calculated everyone's wages.
I plan to send this amount today.
Then she discussed with them that if they were young, it would be better not to go there in the future. If they were as old as Brother Santie, it would be okay. She planned to ask the uncles in the village if any of them were willing to run back and forth.
As the weather gets colder, children are more likely to catch colds, but adults have stronger resistance.
Luo San came to find her and suggested that she raise the price in Yongning City.
Yan Yu thought for a moment and said: "It should go up, and the charging price should keep up."
Seeing that Uncle Luo didn't quite understand, she explained: "If the price is low, people will not want to sell us. It would be easier to sell it by waiting at the city gate. It's cold and there are only a few people buying firewood."
I have inquired before that the price of firewood is not static. It is higher when the weather is cold. We follow the market and make small profits but quick turnover. We only need to make one or two cents per bundle. The most important thing is the door-to-door delivery business in the city.
There is also charcoal sold in small packages, and this is the bulk of it."
Luo San will get through at one point.
He chuckled and said, "The waiter is still a good settler. You, Sanshu Luo, are so many years older than you, but you haven't settled the accounts clearly.
Okay, I'm leaving. There are still some sheep left from the sheep that were killed yesterday. I'll take them to Yongning and sell them today."
Yan Yu put down the paper and pen and opened the window a little. The snowflakes outside couldn't wait to get into the house. Before they could fall on the kang, they were warmed by the heat and there was no trace left.
There was the tinkling sound of iron being struck outside, less often when it stopped and more often when it was being hammered.
Yan Yu put on her clothes and ran to Sha's house.
"The waiter is here!"
Blacksmith Sha wiped the beads of sweat rolling off his forehead and spoke in a loud voice.
As soon as Yan Yu came in, he started to take off his clothes, held the cotton clothes in his hands, and shouted: "Uncle Sha, I want to make some iron bars."
Although the blacksmith's hammering stopped, his two sons did not stop, they still kept tinkering.
"Iron bar? How long and thick should it be? What is it used for?" the blacksmith also shouted.
"It doesn't need to be too thick. I want to make a sledge, a sled..." She didn't know which name he could understand, and he even said and gestured: "Just put two iron bars under the wood, so it can be pulled on snow and ice.
.”
Sha Tiejiang is from Leshan Prefecture. Although she has never done it, she roughly knows what she wants.
"Okay, I'll make it for you later when I have time." Blacksmith Sha agreed happily, without even mentioning the money.
"Uncle Sha, I don't want two, I want many," Yan Yu said.
When the blacksmith heard this, he said, "If we can't finish it today, you have to wait a few more days."
Yan Yu said hurriedly: "Yeah, don't worry, it's done. You can ask Brother Dachui or Brother Erchui to come to my house and let me know. I will give you the money then."
"Okay!" Blacksmith Sha said with a smile.
Since settling in Xiao'an Village, they have been making iron arrowheads most of the time. Except for the initial uneasiness, as the number of iron arrowheads increased, the family gradually settled down.
The people in this village are really kind and live their lives accordingly. They made these iron arrowheads just to kill the Beirong who came to rob the village. And the lord knows it, so it is not considered private casting.
The people in the village took great care of the families who came from Gufeng, and helped them build their houses and make kangs before the snow fell.
His family had skills and became a blacksmith, and other families gradually got involved, going hunting in the mountains and collecting firewood and branches to sell to the Yan family.
Seeing that things are slowly getting better these days.
