After Yu Jiajin left, Lin Mai went to Xiaohong's house.
Although she didn't care about the cost of the wall, she still had to mention it to Xiaohong's mother.
Otherwise, Xiaohong’s mother will think that she is easy to take advantage of, and she will always think of taking advantage of her in the future.
Xiaohong's mother was still as enthusiastic as last time, asking her to sit down and serving mung bean soup to Lin Mai.
Lin Mai hurriedly said: "Sister, you don't have to be busy, I just want to ask if you don't want to add a layer with me and Brother Yu?"
Xiaohong's mother said with a bitter face: "Actually, I want to add a tier with you, but I can't come up with the money now, so I can only postpone it."
Lin Mai smiled: "It's okay, then I will bear all the cost of the public wall first. When your family has money, you can give me your part of the cost, okay?"
"Okay, okay, isn't this how it should be!" Xiaohong's mother seemed particularly reasonable.
Lin Mai came out of Xiaohong's house and went back to his snack bar.
Before I even crossed the street, I saw the door of my shop was crowded with people watching the excitement.
She frowned and walked over.
I saw Aunt Hu pointing at her barbecue cart and complaining to the two law enforcement team members:
"The smoke from her two barbecue carts floated into my store and smoked all the customers away. Who is responsible for the loss? She has to compensate!"
The two law enforcement team members took a look at Lin Mai's two barbecue carts. Since they were burning firewood, they would produce smoke, but it was not very big.
This is not the point. The point is that the smoke did not blow towards Aunt Hu's house, but in the opposite direction.
A law enforcement team member said fairly: "The smoke was not blown into your home, so no matter how much you ask for compensation, it won't be your turn."
Zhou Caiyun has long been furious: "Is your business because our roasted corn smoked away your customers?
Nonsense!
Obviously the food at my house is delicious, plus there are fans in the store and the environment is better than yours, so it has wiped out your business, and it turns right and wrong in your mouth!"
Aunt Hu crossed her waist and said, "It was the smoke from your oven that smoked away my guests!"
Lin Mai said coldly: "The law enforcement team has already said that the smoke did not drift to your house!"
"Not now, but before!"
"Not before!" Another neighbor named Tu, who was next to Lin Mai, stood up and said, "The smoke from Xiaolin's house has been blowing into my house since morning.
Even if Xiaolin wants to compensate, he will be compensating my family, what does it have to do with your family?"
Aunt Hu then closed her mouth bitterly.
A law enforcement team member said to Lin Mai: "The smoke produced by your two barbecue carts does affect others. You must either improve it or stop using it."
When Aunt Hu heard this, she looked proud.
Lin Mai said: "Then improve it and use coal. If you use coal, there will be no smoke."
Her barbecue cart can not only burn firewood, but can also burn coal, but the cost of burning firewood will be lower.
The law enforcement team watched Lin Mai instruct the two aunts in charge of roasting corn to replace the firewood with coal, and then left after making sure that there was no more smoke.
Aunt Wu was annoyed.
Boss Tu, the neighbor who just spoke up for Lin Mai, came over, licked his face and said to her: "Xiao Lin, I heard you tell someone last time that you can help bring in corn next time.
When will you bring in corn next? I want you to bring some for me."
Lin Mai said cheerfully: "I will go to the countryside tomorrow to buy corn. How much do you want? I will pay you the price."
Boss Tu was so surprised that he didn't expect Lin Mai to agree. He just tried to ask.
He rubbed his hands and said, "How about a thousand?"
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay, as long as you sell it out within three days, otherwise the corn will go bad if left for a long time."
Aunt Hu called the law enforcement team to cause trouble for Lin Mai's family. Many bosses and proprietresses from the same street came to watch.
At this time, seeing Lin Mai promising to bring corn to Boss Butcher, they all shouted:
"Xiao Lin, can you also bring some corn to my house?"
"I want it too~"
Zhou Caiyun became anxious when he saw it, and without any explanation, he picked up Lin Mai and left, pulling her upstairs in one breath.
"Mai Zi, are you stupid? How can you help Boss Tu bring corn?
He is right next door to our house. If his house sells roasted corn, it will definitely affect our roasted corn business.
If he helps you, just agree to him, but don't agree to others."
Lin Mai shook his head: "Don't worry about this, even if you steal business, how much can you steal?
Others sell roasted corn, but they can only sell the original flavor.
Our family sells original flavor and cumin flavor, which others cannot compete with.
Besides, we can’t eat all of the roasted corn cake, so let’s treat each other a little bit differently and take advantage of the favor.”
"Then if someone asks you for cumin, will you give it to them?"
"Of course not. There are limits to helping people."
Lin Mai patted Zhou Caiyun on the shoulder: "Do you think I'm helping those colleagues? I'm helping the folks in Simei Town.
You have never gone back to your hometown with me to collect agricultural products, so you have never seen the longing eyes of the villagers.
And have you ever done the math? Even though my neighbors are offering me the wholesale price for corn, if the quantity is large, the income is considerable.
Sometimes when doing business, you can’t just focus on the one-third of an acre of land, the pattern must be bigger.”
Zhou Caiyun was silent for a moment and warned: "No matter what, you must stick to the bottom line and never give cumin to anyone."
Lin Mai nodded: "I understand."
Zhou Caiyun sighed silently, even if Lin Mai didn't give cumin to his colleagues, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't get it themselves.
Whether it's corn or cumin, people just can't get it for the time being, not forever.
When the two of them came outside the store, their colleagues on the same street were still waiting at the door.
As soon as everyone saw Lin Mai coming out, they gathered around her and asked expectantly: "Xiao Lin, can you help us bring corn?"
"Yes, but you have also seen that my tractor is so big and can only carry about seven or eight thousand corns at a time.
Boss Tu and I each took one thousand, and the most we have left is six thousand. How many of you are there in total? Give us a share, and send someone to tell me when you have done so."
Everyone responded happily.
One boss asked: "Xiao Lin, is this the first time you give us a purchase price?"
Zhou Caiyun suddenly became angry, and just as he was about to scold him, Lin Mai said: "Impossible, except for Boss Tu who enjoys the first purchase price discount, no one else has this discount."
"Then how much did you sell it to us?"
"It's nine cents a piece. If you think it's a good deal, just book it. Pay first and get the goods later."
When Lin Mao goes to the countryside to buy corn, a head of corn usually only costs four or five cents.
In other words, she earns four or five cents on the wholesale price of a head of corn.
It's impossible not to make money. Why should she pay for gas and labor costs in vain?
Nine cents a piece is not expensive, and black market corn cobs retail for 15 cents each.
Sold after roasting, the original flavor costs 30 cents a piece, and the profit is huge.
But everyone saw that Lin Mai was easy to talk to, so they bargained with her: "Can it be seven cents a piece?"
Lin Mai didn't argue with them and said with a smile: "I'll buy it for eight cents, and you'll sell me whatever you have."
When everyone saw her saying this, they knew that she would not give in, so they had no choice but to give up.
Someone pointed to her two barbecue carts and asked: "Xiao Lin, where did you order your grill cart and how much does it cost? Can you introduce us to custom-making it?"
Everyone has long been envious of Lin Mai's barbecue cart and wants one too.
But no one dared to say this, thinking that Lin Mai would not help them.
Now someone with a strong head asked what they wanted to ask, and they all looked at Lin Mai eagerly.
Lin Mai agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, I'll invite the master who makes the grill later, and you can negotiate the price with him. It's not expensive anyway, only twenty-five yuan per cart."
Many people gasped, twenty-five yuan was not expensive, it was almost a month's salary of a worker!
Someone started to push the envelope again: "Xiao Lin, you can get some cumin to sell. It doesn't matter if the price is higher, we want to buy it."
Lin Mai refused: "Cumin is too difficult to get, I can't help you with this.
You don’t have to travel long distances to Shu, otherwise I won’t bring you corn, nor will I introduce you to the master who makes the barbecue cart.”
As soon as her harsh words came out, many neighbors were embarrassed.
They also knew that they were going too far, but when they saw that Lin Mai was too talkative, they became greedy. Unexpectedly, he was not a soft persimmon.
