Liu Fang held the money, and also felt that her daughter was extremely smart.
Xia Xiaolan asked straightforwardly, "Do I still need to learn this?"
There is no need to learn to watch a few people crying and mourning. Then we will definitely live on dogs in our old age.
After a while, the aunt who bought duck eggs led a few people to rush over, "It's her, she hasn't run away yet!"
Liu Fen turned pale with fright, thinking that something was wrong with the duck egg. The aunt led her companions and surrounded Xia Xiaolan, "Is the duck egg still worth the price just now?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Of course, it will be cheaper if you buy more."
Aunt's companions chattered and wanted Xia Xiaolan to make it cheaper, then they said that wild duck eggs are not as refreshing as eggs, and they were picky about their size. Xia Xiaolan just laughed, thinking that the goods are the buyers, and she just needs to let these people enjoy their mouths.
Sure enough, seeing that Xia Xiaolan didn't eat oil and salt, she always greeted people with a smile on her face, and the three people brought by the aunt still divided up the remaining wild duck eggs. 84 eggs, sold to 4 people, bought 21 of them Xia Xiaolan had already calculated, just to catch the customer's psychology of wanting to take advantage of it.
Of course, the three people did not confiscate any change of 1 cent.
Before I was picky and picky, I really paid and felt happy.
What Xia Xiaolan miscalculated was that the few wild ducks she brought were not easy to sell. The people in the city lived in a small place, and there was no food left over to feed the ducks, so her ducklings could not be sold.
84 wild duck eggs were sold for 9 yuan and 20 cents. Xia Xiaolan gave the money to Liu Fen, but Liu Fen asked Xia Xiaolan to collect it herself. Xia Xiaolan wanted to walk around the city, looking for opportunities to make money. The one who sells sweet potatoes joins in:
"Can you replace it with sweet potatoes, you little duck?"
This person is envious of Xia Xiaolan selling wild duck eggs. People in the city have no place to raise them, but he has a place!
Xia Xiaolan really doesn't want to eat sweet potatoes, her stomach will become bloated if she eats too much of it, but Liu Fen is willing to change it. The yield of sweet potatoes is high, and now it is the harvest time. A catty of sweet potatoes may not even be able to replace an egg. Eggs were expensive in 1983.
Xia Xiaolan thought for a while, and asked the man to give him an integer of 20 catties, and he would give him all 8 ducklings.
The person is not happy:
"One catty for one, and raising Dafei is a big loss!"
Of course, wild ducks that have not been domesticated will fly away. Xia Xiaolan asked this fellow very seriously: "Cut off the feathers on the wings, where will it fly? If you think 20 catties of sweet potatoes are too much, then I will take them home and raise them myself."
Sweet potatoes are really not worth the price. Ducks can be fed with vegetable leaves, grass and earthworms, etc., except that it is troublesome and does not cost food. If 8 ducks are raised to the point where two of them can lay eggs, it costs at least 20 cents a day. 3 yuan a month, 36 yuan a year.
Xia Xiaolan settled the accounts to the other party, and the villagers stopped bargaining, and really exchanged 20 catties of sweet potatoes for ducklings. The mother and daughter put sweet potatoes in reed baskets and walked along the county town.
Liu Fen never knew that money was so easy to earn.
Adding 20 catties of sweet potatoes to the price of selling wild duck eggs, there are still 10 yuan. Rural people earn less than 200 yuan a year by digging food in the fields. Part of the money has to be spent on seeds and fertilizers. The real money that can be saved is very little With this money, the children in the family have to go to school. I pray that the family members will not get seriously ill.
10 yuan a day, isn't it 300 yuan a month?
Liu Fen can't figure out how much money she can make in a year.
It's a pity that this wild duck egg is not picked every day. Liu Fen still feels a little pity for the duckling: "Mom can raise it too. It will take a long time to cut the wings and let it lay duck eggs."
Xia Xiaolan is not impatient, she knows that Liu Fen is a real rural woman and has little knowledge, and in the 1980s when news and ideas were blocked, people were honest and obedient, so if she wanted to take Liu Fen out of the wretched place in Dahe Village, she had to Slowly let Liu Fen change his mind.
"The baby duck may not be able to feed. We can't afford to wait too long. Of course, it is to replace the food that is in short supply now. Who knows that it will lay eggs every few days when it grows up? It is impossible to lay eggs 365 days a year."
Xia Xiaolan explained carefully, and Liu Fen understood.
The two walked around the county town and bought some daily necessities such as salt, candles and matches at the county supply and marketing cooperative. Liu Fen felt distressed whenever she spent money, but there was nothing at home, and the Xia family didn't even let them bring out the quilt Liu Fen felt sorry for the money, and became more courageous: "I'll take out your clothes when I go back."
It's not cold in summer, but if you don't change your clothes or take a bath, you will be rotten.
Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to buy some refined grains at the grain store, but they asked her for food stamps, but she couldn't get them out and had to buy high-priced grains. Thinking about the broken house with no locks, Xia Xiaolan bought another iron lock. grain.
In 1983, various "tickets" were gradually canceled in some areas, and the purchase by ticket was not so strict. At least in Anqing County, some daily necessities did not need to be purchased by ticket. Of course, food stamps and meat stamps, as well as industrial rolls to buy electrical appliances still exist.
Xia Xiaolan knows that the faster the society changes, the more business opportunities it will bring.
She knew that the time when she could only buy food with food stamps would be completely over, so she would avoid making money from it, and reselling food stamps was simply doing her own thing.
The business opportunities everywhere are unequal information, and the society is changing too fast, so many people are ignorant and haven't realized it yet!
She doesn't need to seize all the opportunities, just grab one or two, and she can jump up in the 80s
"Xiaolan, shall we go back?"
Liu Fen is not used to facing too many people, and walking around the county town for a long time made her feel uncomfortable.
People in the city don't necessarily dress well. Their clothes are clean, unlike her and Xia Xiaolan's clothes, which have several patches. It looks like they are from the countryside. Xia Xiaolan is the person who loves face the most, and she had a few unpatched clothes, but she bumped her head, and Hongxia from the third family ran into the house and took away all the good clothes.
How could Liu Fen care about such things at that time, she still counted on Mrs. Xia's kindness and agreed to send her daughter to the hospital.
Liu Fen wanted to go back, Xia Xiaolan was hungry and desperate to think that she would have to go for another two hours.
"Eat a bowl of noodles before leaving!"
The stalls on the side of the road do not require food stamps, and a bowl of big bone soup noodles is only 30 cents.
The soup is milky white and the noodles are white. Liu Fen even forgot when was the last time he ate such refined grains.
"Auntie, cook us two bowls of noodles!"
Xia Xiaolan pulled Liu Fen to sit on the small stool, and the smell of bone soup kept creeping into her nose. Liu Fen waved her hand: "If you want one bowl, just one bowl!"
How could she be willing to spend 30 cents for a bowl of noodles?
Xia Xiaolan ignored her and gave 60 cents to the aunt at the noodle stall. The aunt boasted while cooking the noodles:
"You are a filial girl, you will have a blessed life in the future, big sister."
A little smile appeared on Liu Fen's black and yellow face.
Thinking of Xia Xiaolan's reputation of falling to the bottom in all directions, Liu Fen lost her appetite when the delicious big bone noodle soup was served.
"Tug-chug¡ª¡ª"
A large car stopped by the side of the road, the door of the passenger compartment opened, and a young man in military boots jumped out, holding two large lunch boxes. He was attracted by the smell of bone broth, and when he looked up, his eyes were glued to Xia Xiaolan's body. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
