At noon, when Song Xi and Zhou Yi were about to eat, Sheng Jiahe and Mo Jiaxiang ran back in a hurry.
Their faces were flushed and their heads were sweating profusely, and their sweat-dampened hair stuck tightly to their skins, looking as if they had been fished out of the water.
Zhou Yi hurriedly went to get cold well water for them to clean, while Song Xi hurriedly went to pour cold water for them.
Song Xi's supermarket also had tea and other things, but she didn't have a chance to take them out for the time being.
When she goes to the commune next time, she can take some out.
Seeing that the two wooden barrels were empty and there was nothing left, Song Xi gave Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe a thumbs up, "You are very powerful. You sold them all on the first day. How did you sell it? How much did you sell?"
How much does it cost per pound or how much does it cost per lunch box?”
Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jiahe and the two of them washed their hair and faces and drank a large glass of cold water. When the body temperature dropped, they seemed to have found themselves again.
Sheng Jiahe said excitedly, "We actually sold for thirty-two yuan in one morning. Oh my god, there are so many rich people in this city. We asked for one yuan per catty, but the people in the city didn't even bargain.
of."
Song Xi was also very shocked. There were so many uneaten frogs in the fields that could be sold for one yuan a pound. Sure enough, the people in the city were very wealthy!
If you can make more than thirty dollars in one day, wouldn't it be possible to sell more than nine hundred or even thousands in one month?
If the four of them divide it equally, each of them can get more than two hundred!
Yes, yes, this is indeed a way to make money.
"But you have to work during the day, go out to catch frogs at night, and have to rush to the city to sell the frogs. This is too hard. It won't take long for your body to collapse. It's not worth the gain."
"I think you can find poor but reliable people in the village to help you catch frogs for ten pounds per penny or five pounds for one penny. Then you can have a normal rest at night. As long as you arrange someone in the morning
Just go to the city and sell it."
Seeing their excited faces, Song Xi had to pour a basin of cold water on them.
If you don't have good health, what's the point of earning more money?
Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe have always been in a state of excitement. They didn't feel tired at first. But now that Song Xi mentioned it, they suddenly felt extremely tired.
Mo Jiaxiang put a stack of scattered tickets into Song Xi's hand, "Song Xi, please hold this money for me first, and then come over and share it when we earn more."
"Okay, I will keep the account book for you, so as not to make mistakes in dividing accounts in the future, and the brothers will be unable to do it." Song Xi carefully counted the money in front of several people, exactly thirty-two yuan, not a penny.
A little more is a lot less.
She counted out a dollar and handed it to Mo Jiaxiang, "You guys take the dollar first, in case you need anything else."
Mo Jiaxiang took a deep look at Song Xi, then took the money, and then he and Sheng Jiahe went back to their homes carrying the empty barrels.
You really need to get a good rest, otherwise your body will really be overwhelmed.
So what Song Xi said is indeed a good idea to find someone to help catch frogs.
The two decided to find someone first and arrange everything before going home to rest.
In this way, they can have a good sleep at night, and they only need to get up at around four o'clock, pack up, and then go to Zhou Yi's house.
Time continued to pass between the fingers, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Song Xi was eating and drinking well every day, and her body was recovering well. Finally, she did not get dizzy and weak every now and then.
Zhou Xiaoshu gave her 50 kilograms of snails on the first day, and about 100 kilograms of snails every day thereafter, so Song Xi's supermarket now has nearly a thousand kilograms of snails.
Brother and sister Zhou Xiaoshu also received nearly ten yuan in reward from Song Xi.
If they can keep picking up snails, the brother and sister can earn forty yuan a month, which is higher than the wages of factory workers in the city.
Therefore, the two people's enthusiasm for picking up snails was growing day by day, but the snails became smaller as they went back, because the big ones were almost finished by the two brothers.
Song Xi separated the snails according to their sizes and looked at the big white buckets in the staff restaurant full of snails. She felt so satisfied because these were all money!
In the evening of that day, Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua came to give her snails again, but they were not many, only about thirty kilograms.
There are not many paddy fields in Ping'an Village. No matter how many snails they pick up for so long, they will soon be gone. The smallest ones cannot grow up in a few days, so they can only keep them for the next year.
After Song Xi moved the snails into the supermarket and weighed them, he gave today's 30 cents to Zhou Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, there shouldn't be many snails in the paddy fields of Ping'an Village now. Do you know them in other villages?"
Friends? You can ask them to help you find it and give them a penny or five pounds, so that you can make a profit from it and you don’t have to be so tired."
There are not many paddy fields in Pingan Village, but they can pick up so many snails. If it is a village with a lot of paddy fields, how many snails can be picked up?
Zhou Xiaoshu didn't dare to think about that huge amount. As soon as he thought about it, he felt as if he could hardly breathe.
So he decided to follow Song Xi's arrangement and go to other villages to find hungry children to help him pick up snails. Not to mention five kilograms for one penny, there were people willing to pick them up for ten kilograms per penny.
After taking the money handed over by Song Xi, the two children thanked Song Xi in unison and left with their backpacks.
But after a while, Zhou Xiaohua ran back again, and she looked at Song Xi anxiously.
"Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?" Song Xi asked softly.
Zhou Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then took out the river clam she had hidden in her clothes, and looked at Song Xi cautiously, "Little aunt, do you want this?"
"It's river mussels. I want them. Just like the snails, I just need to wash off the mud. I want as many as I can." Unexpectedly, there are river mussels in Ping'an Village.
Although river mussels have more shells and less meat, it seems like a disadvantage to spend money to buy them, but she is willing to help these two well-behaved and sensible children. Besides, there is no loss for a penny per pound.
"Little aunt, do you really want it?" This thing has no meat and is not delicious. Zhou Xiaohua wants to make money, but she is afraid that her little aunt will suffer a loss.
Because their little aunt is the best person in the world who treats them better than their previous family members.
"Of course it's true. When did my little aunt lie to you?" Song Xi reached out and pinched Zhou Xiaohua's cheek, and said with a smile, "Go back quickly, don't let your brother worry."
"Okay, thank you, auntie." Zhou Xiaohua said goodbye to Song Xi, turned around and ran outside, almost bumping into Zhou Yi who came back. She apologized to Zhou Yi and ran away quickly.
Because the little aunt said that this matter cannot be told to anyone, they have not told Uncle Zhou Yi until now, so when facing Uncle Zhou Yi, Zhou Xiaohua felt a little scared, so she ran away.
