After dinner, the day at the Wen family was officially over. After seeing off the Wang brothers, Wen Wen took Wen Yu down to the cellar and showed her the 1,000 kilograms of glutinous rice and 500 kilograms of glutinous rice she had bought.
Soybeans and 500 kilograms of sugar. Wen Xin used 3 hair ropes to exchange for these supplies. Of course, there must be a lot.
Wen Yu said: "The money you earn every day minus today's approximate cost of food will be the money we earn today. As for the private money, the second brother has the final say and will buy you a 50-ton rope. It will all be considered your private money."
Wen Xin's eyes lit up, she didn't expect such a good thing, but then she thought about it, it was wrong, she didn't pay for the 50 hair ties herself, but then she thought of a way to get hair ties without money.
, "When it comes to hairbands, you don't actually need to buy them outside. I thought of a more economical way."
Wen Yu was stunned and asked, "Say."
"Don't we have rags every time we buy cloth? Don't we pay a lot for clothes when we buy them twice? We can make these rags into headbands and sell them. Try to see if the price is the same. If so,
In this case, we will even save the cost of the headband."
Wen Yu choked up and said, "You kid, tell me who will make this rope."
After thinking for a long time, Wen Xin said: "Aren't Aunt Wang and Sister-in-law Xiao Ni at home? I remember that they can also sew and thread. It must not be difficult to make this rope. 10 ropes cost a penny. With so many cloth heads, at least 2-300 can be made.
, In addition to the wages paid to the two of them, I kept half of the rest as private money. We both know this money, and found an opportunity to pretend to sell the other half at a high price. Even if it is on the family account, it can be regarded as expanding the family wealth. "
After hearing this, Wen Yu said, "Okay, you can do the calculation yourself. If you can't figure it out clearly, let your second brother do it for you. In short, just do it how you want to do it. Just don't lose money."
"I know, but second brother, we can't just put the rice in the cellar. Why don't we drag the rice back at some time?"
Of course Wen Yu knew, "You put the rice in first. After we come back from the market tomorrow, we can go out alone and then take the rice out and move it into the cellar."
"good."
Wen Xin saved the amount she would use tomorrow, put all the remaining rice into the space, and then left the cellar.
The next day.
After the smoke came out from the Wen family's chimney, the three Wang brothers and sisters appeared at the Wen family together.
After the three of them came over, they were still a little cautious and didn't know where to put their hands and feet. Fortunately, Wang Chuncui was a lively person and quickly went to the stove house. Seeing Wen Xin busy in the stove house, she immediately went over and helped her, "What do you want to do?
Just tell me directly."
Wen Xin said: "There is nothing to do but our breakfast. You can come over later tomorrow. I have just cooked the porridge."
Today is still the preserved egg and lean meat porridge. This lean meat was specially left for cooking yesterday. It is also served with steamed buns. But looking at the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the pot, Wang Chuncui asked: "You also ate this yesterday, right?"
, when I go back tomorrow, my brother will say that the porridge is delicious, and we are so hungry."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "Sister Chun Cui will be able to try it today."
Wang Chuncui took the spatula from Wen Wen's hand, stirred the rice in the pot to prevent it from sticking, and then said: "It's not that my mother has never made it before, but it's not as delicious as yours. After eating it,
On the other hand, your craftsmanship is better."
After saying that, Wang Chuncui didn't expect to hear any answer, and asked again: "What am I here to do today?"
"You and my second brother go to the market to sell glutinous rice cakes. You sell soybean glutinous rice cakes, and my second elder brother sells fried glutinous rice cakes. I am responsible for collecting the money. My three brothers are cutting the soybean glutinous rice cakes into small pieces right now.
When the time comes, just wrap it in soybean flour and sell it directly.
Save a lot of time, sell 2 for one penny, and if you pay 5 pence for 10, you will get 2 for free. If you don’t have a bowl, you can buy a bowl for 1 penny, but you can wrap it in a paper bag. Paper bags are free, but come to our house
Everyone who goes shopping has the habit of bringing a bowl."
Although Wen Wen said so much, it is actually very simple, just count and pack the glutinous rice cakes. Wang Chuncui breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, "I understand, this job is not difficult. I was quite worried that I couldn't do it at home."
"No, how difficult can it be for us to set up a stall? My second brother is responsible for frying glutinous rice cakes. Oil is needed to fry glutinous rice cakes, and the pot is also hot. I just let him do this."
, Wenxin also asked Wang Chuncui about what she discussed with Wen Yu yesterday, "Sister Chuncui, do aunt and sister-in-law know how to make headbands?"
"Yes, do you want a headband? I'll ask my mother to make a pair for you."
"No, I have a lot of rags at home. I want my aunt and sister-in-law to make some hair ties for us. We will pay separately. I don't know if my aunt and sister-in-law are willing."
Wang Chuncui didn't expect such a good thing, "Of course I am willing. Needless to say, my mother made all your clothes, but my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is also very good. I heard that she is not married.
She and her mother used to make all the clothes at home, so the craftsmanship is definitely good."
After saying that Wen Xin was unwilling to wait any longer, she asked: "We provide rags, and 10 rags are tied for 1 penny. What do you do? If you do it, you can take it back and start now, so you don't have to waste time when you come back.
"
How could Wang Chuncui refuse to agree? She said straight away: "Let's do it. Why don't you do it? You don't have to ask my mother. Just give me the rag and I'll send it back and come back."
After saying that, Wenxin handed the spoon to Wenshan and asked Wenshan to stir the porridge in the pot, while she took Wang Chuncui to their room.
Wen Xin pointed to the two small bags of cloth next to her bed and said: "There are two small bags here. I estimate that I can make 2-300, but I haven't counted them. The big ones here were all picked out for my aunt to make shoes for us.
Yes, there are only small pieces of cloth here, so they can only be used as headbands."
Wang Chuncui walked out of the house with a bag in each hand, "Okay, I'll go back and say something, and I'll be back in a while."
Under the confusion of everyone, Wang Chuncui hurried back home. Before she reached the door, she heard her shouting, "Mother, mother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Aunt Wang and Wang Xiaoni quickly put down what they were doing and walked out. Seeing Wang Chuncui holding two bags, they immediately took one bag each. Aunt Wang asked: "Chuncui, what are you doing? You don't know how."
You must have been fired on the first day of work."
Wang Chuncui was speechless, "Have you ever seen anyone who was fired and came back with two big bags of stuff? The key is that I haven't even started work yet."
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. You have already called this person out." Aunt Wang is impatient and urges people as soon as they see something wrong.
