Yan Chen was true to his word. At around ten o'clock the next morning, he had all the small drill bits made and delivered them.
Looking at the neat carton of small drill bits that he had placed, Xiang Jin was overjoyed, "All done so quickly?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, they're all done, two hundred and thirty-five in total."
Xiang Jin was surprised, "You didn't sleep all night, did you?" If that was the case, she would have sinned. After all, her original intention was not to abuse child labor.
Yan Chen said, "No, I did it until 11 o'clock last night, and then I got up at around 6 o'clock this morning and started working on it again."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good, that's good. I'm afraid it will delay your rest, and that won't be good."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "No, I said the workmanship is very simple. I have done it before, so when I do it again, I will be very proficient in assembling it."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Yan Chen asked again, "Do you still need it? I made it?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No more, that's all."
"What about the bamboo tubes? Have the bamboo tubes been installed?"
Xiang Jin raised his lips and said, "Okay, that's easy. The holes have been drilled before. All you have to do is put the nails in. I finished it last night."
Yan Chen nodded, "How about giving it a try?"
Xiang Jin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"
She was relatively confident about Yan Chen's craftsmanship. In fact, the purpose of her trial was to test the functionality of her bamboo tubes.
The two of them entered the main room, and Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen to sit down first. She said that she would go find a socket and get some corn sticks.
Yan Chen nodded, and then looked at the surrounding environment. Well, there is nothing special. There are just two dining tables with the Eight Immortals Table, and there are a few long benches around them. However, the room is very tidy, and there is not a single bit of it.
Dust and stains.
Suddenly, he saw several thick homework problem books placed on the slightly smaller Eight Immortals table, as well as a draft book and a pen. One of them was open, and the others were
It's closed.
The homework question booklet was the questions for the second grade of their junior high school. He couldn't help but walked over there, and then he saw that the handwriting on the open question book was beautiful and neat, and then he looked closely at the answers to those questions.
Everything is correct.
Even for some questions, he might first calculate them in a draft book before solving them, but there is no trace of any drafting on the draft book next to him. Instead, he directly writes the solution steps in the question book.
Out of curiosity, he picked up the question book and flipped through several pages in succession. However, the answers to the questions on each page were completely correct, and the handwriting was always neat and neat. There was no stain or typo due to wrong solution.
Steel fork.
He suddenly discovered that maybe Xiang Jin's grades were not as bad as those from the old Xiang family and those outside. In fact, her grades were very good and she could definitely be among the top in the class, or
The top few in the entire grade are not necessarily the same.
She obviously has such good results, but why does she only get 40 or 50 points every time? Yan Chen can't figure it out.
Xiang Jin came back soon. Seeing her carrying a large basket of corn cobs, Yan Chen hurried to pick her up.
After placing the corn on the table, Xiang Jin took the socket to connect the wiring. After everything was done, the two began to inspect it.
After using more than a dozen small drill bits and bamboo tubes in succession, Xiang Jin came to the conclusion that it was as easy to use as ever. She expressed that she was very satisfied with her copycat work, and her worries that were originally there were immediately put to rest.
Yan Chen asked her, "When are you going to sell these on the street? Do you want to make more?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "I ran out of materials. I didn't know how the response would be, so I didn't buy a lot of materials at the beginning. How about tomorrow? The town will be there tomorrow. Let's go test the water first and see how it works.
If there are many people buying it, we can make it when we come back, and we can do it on the spot in the countryside the day after tomorrow. We can rush to make a batch when we come back tomorrow, and we can sell it in the countryside the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow."
"You want to go?" Xiang Jin was surprised.
"Why, no?" Yan Chen asked back.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, I thought you would disdain it."
"How could it be? After all, I still want to see the results of my labor." In fact, he wanted to see how she would sell these things.
Xiang Jin nodded dullly, "Okay, let's get together tomorrow."
"when to departure?"
"What do you think?"
Yan Chen said, "I can do it."
Xiang Jin asked tentatively, "How about catching the train at around eight o'clock? It's too early at around six o'clock, and there won't be many people on the street at that time.
Just wait there."
"Can!"
After the two agreed on a time, Yan Chen went back, while Xiang Jin took the newly peeled corn to the sunba head outside to dry it, and then returned to his position to do his homework.
The next day, when it was time to set off, Yan Chen came to find Xiang Jin. When he saw her carrying a basket full of things and placing them on the street eaves, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why are there so many?"
Xiang Jin explained to him, "I brought some corn cobs to demonstrate to others, otherwise why would others buy our products?
There is also the Pinellia ternata that I dug a few days ago, and I also took it with me to sell it. Some of it has started to sprout after being left there for a long time."
Yan Chen nodded, then walked over and took the bamboo pole from her hand, "I'll do it."
Xiang Jin was stunned on the spot, a little embarrassed. After all, it was their family's belongings, so she felt a little sorry for him to carry it.
Yan Chen walked a few steps forward with the basket on his back. Seeing that she didn't follow, he turned to her side and called her, "Let's go, why are you still standing there? If you don't go, you will miss the bus!"
"Oh, oh, oh," Xiang Jin came to his senses and called him out quickly, "Wait a minute!"
Yan Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then said to Jin, "I'll get another backpack, and then put some of it evenly into my backpack, so we can walk faster."
"No, I can," Yan Chen refused.
Xiang Jin didn't say much to him, and ran into the house and dragged out a small basket, along with a sieve. Then he caught up with him and picked up the two snake cloth bags at the top of his basket.
Come down and put it in your backpack.
"You?" Yan Chen frowned and glared at her.
Xiang Jin said, "I'm carrying small things, you can help me carry corn cobs and pinellia." After saying that, she swung the bamboo pole on her back and put it on her back, and then urged, "Let's go, let's go quickly.
It’s urgent to catch the train!”
Yan Chen had no choice but to turn around and walk forward.
On the way, Yan Chen asked her, "Have you decided how to price it?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "I have calculated the cost. The total of all our items is less than one yuan. According to the current price level, we can sell them for three yuan."
"The cost price you mentioned is the price without the battery, right?" Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"Of course," Xiang Jin said, "if a battery is added, the cost will definitely be more than one piece. Our selling price will inevitably increase by then, but if it increases, not many people will be willing to buy it.
But three yuan, not much more, not much less, is less than the price of a pound of meat, but this thing can help them peel one or two thousand pounds of corn kernels in a few days, and in the end
The main thing is that it doesn’t hurt your hands, and it’s still very cost-effective.
Therefore, we do not include batteries. Of course, in order to give everyone a smooth demonstration, we will go out to the street later and buy two more pairs of batteries."
After Yan Chen hesitated for a moment, he nodded, "That makes sense."
Following him, he asked Xiang Jin where to choose this place?
Xiang Jin said, "The entrance to the vegetable market or the entrance to the supply and marketing cooperative has a relatively large flow of people."
Yan Chen had no objection and quickly followed to Zaoerya. Within a few minutes, the car arrived and the two of them got on the car.
