Chapter 121 Busy
“Tired?”
Gu Jiu felt the person behind him leaning his head against his body and asked distressedly.
"It's okay." Lin Shu rubbed his back, "I just feel it's very comfortable to lean against him like this."
The road was not flat enough, and under the dim street lights, Gu Jiu Always paying attention to the road conditions ahead, feeling the dependence of his wife, he is extremely soft-hearted.
"I think the business of our canteen will be good in the future. It may be very busy every day. Do you think we should recruit someone to help?"
"An Fan has been discharged from the hospital and has rested for so many days. Let him take over your place. My current job is on time every day Collect the medicinal materials, come to the store to help me, and then recruit someone." Lin Shu thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of recruiting my cousin Zaichun to help?"
"Cousin Zaichun, is this Ding Zaichun?" Gu Jiu asked.
"Do you know him?" Lin Shu raised his head in surprise.
Gu Jiu: "I heard Xu Ming mention that he met you through Ding Zaichun."
Otherwise, Xu Ming wouldn't have called her a cousin when he met Lin Shu at the beginning.
He thought Lin Shu was really Xu Ming's cousin.
"Oh, what do you think about letting him come?"
Gu Jiu agreed, "Okay, wait for Dongfa to deliver the medicinal materials tomorrow, and ask him to go to Cousin Ding when he returns. Let’s talk to him, mainly to see if he is willing to help.”
"After the autumn harvest, there is nothing to do at home. He would love to be able to make some money outside, so he should be willing to come."
Lin Shu thought that if Ding Zaichun is willing to come, then he will be the first person in their village to go out. People who work.
From now on, no matter what you do, you will always be one step ahead of the people in the village.
The two of them chatted about things in the shop and soon arrived home.
After Lin Shu washed up at home, he lay on the bed and fell asleep instantly.
Gu Jiu came back after washing up and found that Lin Shu had fallen asleep. He shook his head. He had been really tired all day today and had a heavy workload. Although he didn't exert much effort, he still felt tired.
Of course the harvest should be considerable.
The next day, I forced myself to wake up from my sleep, got up, had breakfast, and rushed to the canteen with Gu Jiu.
When we arrived at the store, the two brothers who lived in the old house had already gone to work. Lin Shu opened the door, took out the money collected yesterday from the box and sorted it out.
"How much did it cost yesterday afternoon?" Gu Jiu asked.
Lin Shu yawned, with tears in her eyes. She wiped them with a handkerchief and said, "More than three hundred yuan. After excluding costs, I probably made more than sixty yuan."
一Earning more than 60 yuan in the afternoon is a lot for ordinary people, but compared to Lin Shu going up the mountain to dig herbs, his income is really a bit less.
Gu Jiu frowned: "Only more than sixty?"
"Well, the profit of the canteen is about 20%. Isn't more than three hundred yuan a little over sixty." Lin Shu glanced at the goods on the shelf, "Of course, if If the goods are complete, I will definitely make more money. I think this store should find someone to help as soon as possible, or find someone to help look after the store.” I don’t think I’m that patient.
"Currently, the goods in the city and county are basically ready. If you want to add more categories, you can only order from other cities."
Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu and said with a smile: "Those people will deliver it this afternoon. Herbs, ask them if they can help buy some peanuts.”
In later generations, fried peanuts and melon seeds were also a major sales force in the canteen.
Gu Jiu nodded. Just at this time, an aunt carrying a vegetable basket came over, "What do you want to buy?"
"Do you have soy sauce here?" The aunt stretched her neck and asked View in store.
Gu Jiu asked: "Yes, do you want it in bulk or in bottles?" When the aunt heard that there was soy sauce, she quickly took out a glass bottle from the vegetable basket and put it on the counter: "I wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce, but I didn't expect you. There really is a pound of soy sauce here. Do you have any matches? If so, I gave you two boxes."
Gu Jiu took the soy sauce bottle and weighed it for her. Oil, Lin Shu took out two boxes of matches from the counter, "Soy sauce costs one cent per pound, and two boxes of matches cost four cents." Packing dried fish, "Do you still sell dried fish here?"
Lin Shu smiled and said: "Yes, the wild dried fish in Qingjiang River costs three yuan per bag for half a catty."
"It's so expensive. River fish only costs 70 cents per catty." The aunt's eyes widened. Three yuan is enough to buy more than three catties of pork.
"Sister, it takes four to five kilograms of fresh fish to dry one kilogram. The most important thing is that this dried fish does not require a ticket. When you go to the farmer's market to buy fish and meat, you need a ticket for everything. Can you buy it without a ticket?"< br>
Everything is in short supply in this era. Many men like to use dried fish with wine, fry it in oil until fragrant, then add some minced chili pepper and minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry it, not to mention adding more rice.
The aunt thought that the men in the family had not seen meat for a week, and even the food and drinks were served with pickles, so she gritted her teeth and bought a pack.
As people who went to the vegetable market early in the morning walked back, Lin Shu's canteen became busy again.
Lin Shu was busy when she saw a man walking over carrying a load of vegetables and leaving the shop to Gu Jiuhu. She hurriedly ran out of the shop.
"Hey, wait, let me buy some groceries."
"You want to buy groceries?" The man stopped.
"Yes, you grow all these vegetables yourself?" Lin Shu chose four kilograms of spinach and a few radishes, and saw a bucket hanging on his burden, which contained some small fish and shrimps.
"Does anyone want to buy your fresh fish and shrimp?"
The man smiled: "Someone is buying it. Do you want it? Two cents a pound."
"Tsk, this is too cheap. If you make it dry, it will sell better and you won't be afraid of spoilage."
“Dried is not as cost-effective as fresh, harvested in the state-owned market "The fresh ones are two cents per catty, and the dried ones are five cents per catty. They can't be sold at a high price."
Lin Shu weighed the dishes and gave the change. He also knew the man's dishes from the chat. It is grown in the private plot, and every time it is picked, it is sent to the harvest department of the state-run farmer's market.
Although the price of the harvesting department is a bit low, the advantage is that it saves time, and you can get money after selling it all at once.
"If you have these small fish and shrimps that you can dry and send to my canteen in the future, I will give you ten cents per catty." Lin Shu pointed to the canteen not far away that was already crowded with people.
“You really accept it?” The man confirmed again.
Lin Shu chuckled and said: "Well, I won't lie to you."
The man nodded, "Okay, then I will send you here first. If you don't accept me, I will send you to the state-owned enterprise." Over there at the vegetable market. "
The man picked up the vegetables and left. Lin Shu first put the vegetables into the kitchen and then entered the shop to get busy.
When Dongfa shipped the goods, he saw such a busy scene, "Sister-in-law, your business is so good, you are so busy that you don't even have time to cook."
When Lin Shu heard this, he raised his wrist and looked at it The time is already half past eleven.
“You help here, I’ll cook.”
“Hey, okay, I think you should let grandma come up and help you cook, or my mother can do it, my mother cooks it. The food tastes pretty good."
Dongfa said, hearing someone asking for an enamel basin, he quickly took one off the shelf.
Gu Jiu saw him and said, "Dongfa, the big enamel basin costs five yuan a piece and the small one costs three yuan."
"Okay." Dongfa took the basin to the guest, "Here you go, five yuan a piece." Yuan.”
