Chapter 190 It’s hard to hold up the wall with mud
“Mom, are fresh yams in the chicken soup today?” Jiang Chaohong took a bite of the yam, which was pink and glutinous and tasted very good.
The Gu family is not divided into separate families. The housework at home is done by the nanny, but it is Wang Suzhen who is really in charge of the family's logistics.
After listening to Jiang Chaohong's words, she glanced at Lin Shu: "Authentic wild yam, Shu Shu dug it back from the mountain yesterday. You are in for a treat today. This kind of wild yam is not common in the pharmacy. There are yam tablets, but It doesn't have to be wild."
Gu Changsheng gave Wang Suzhen an approving look, "Indeed, since Shu Shu came, we have made some medicinal stew from time to time, and our bodies have become much stronger than before. ”
"Sister-in-law, you and Lao Jiu make a lot of money in a month, why do you still want to go up the mountain to dig herbs and sell them? The two children at home have not yet been weaned. How can you be so cruel as to stay in the mountain for a whole day? "
They were originally words of concern, but when they came out of Jiang Chaohong's mouth, they made people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Shu smiled: "How can I compare with you, Third Sister-in-law? I don't have a job. I usually don't make some money myself, and I feel panicked. When Third Sister-in-law gave birth to Youming and Youxing, they were children. Did you go to work after you were weaned? "
Jiang Chaohong felt a sense of superiority in her heart. No matter how much she compared, she had a job in the city. Lin Shu, on the other hand, came from a rural area and had not officially worked yet.
No matter how much money you make, it is still unstable.
The source of income is unstable, and there is a lack of security in the heart.
Jiang Chaohong sympathized with her weakly, "We used to delay giving birth until the child was weaned before going to work. When the child was three or four months old, he went back to work. He was fed before going to work every day. If the child is hungry in the morning, he can only feed him some rice cereal. "
Lin Shu nodded: "It's difficult for the children to survive all the way. I only go to the mountains occasionally and have little impact on the children."
"Brothers and sisters, you and Lao Jiuyi How much can you earn per month? I've always been curious, but I never had the chance to ask." Jiang Chaohong stared at Lin Shu nervously.
Lin Shu glanced at the people eating at the table. Except for the children, they all pretended not to hear.
But who knows whether they want to know or not.
“The money I make every month is not enough to spill over on the construction site. All the money goes into the hole on the construction site, so I don’t even mention it.”
Whether it’s family or friends, it’s useless to laugh at you. , I bet you have it, it’s universal for all.
Talking out her and Gu Jiu's income would not be of any use to show off. No matter how much she talks, she always works more than they do honestly. If she talks too much, it will be difficult for her family to balance her heart even if they are not jealous, and it will affect their mood.
Liu Xiao'e frowned and interjected: "You said that you young people just want to make trouble when you have some money. It's enough to build a two- or three-story house over there. You have to build a seven-story house.
Now it's good, I put a lot of money into it, but I don't know how much it will take to fill up the bottomless pit. If the difference is really too big, who in the world is willing to lend you money to make a living? ”
As soon as Jiang Chaohong heard that there was a shortage of money to build the house, he immediately fell silent.
However, these words took it to heart.
Gu Changsheng transferred The boss asked Lin Shu: "How much money do you have left to build a house over there? ”
Others were excited, especially the Gu family’s daughters-in-law, who glanced at Lin Shu warily.
"Dad, don't worry, we still have some savings and can cope with it for the time being." Lin Shu didn't want the two old people to pay.
Otherwise, Gu Jiu's brothers would not have any objections, but his sisters-in-law would have some opinions in their hearts. If there is any rift between the brothers, it will be her fault.
Hearing her refusal, the sisters-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Changsheng said happily: "You two are good boys. Not long after you got married, you knew that you had saved money. It's good to have savings. You don't have to be in a dilemma to do anything you want to do. You can do it."
My adopted daughter was praised by her father-in-law Liu Xiao'e said with a smile: "My father-in-law is right. If ordinary people like us want to save money, they can only be diligent and thrifty. Otherwise, the whole family will have to spend money. If we spend money lavishly, it will be a waste." You can’t save much money in your life.”
Gu Changsheng smiled and nodded.
No one else answered, because the meat dishes on the table were all bought by Lin Shu.
It can be said that Gu Jiu and Lin Shu are great at making money, saving money, and spending money even more.
The family buys meat and fish every three days. It can be said that since Gu Jiu and Lin Shu came back, the family has not stopped eating fish, and the quality of the food has increased several times.
Jiang Chaohong thought of the fruit wholesale business opened by Gu Jiu, which now occupies almost half of the provincial capital. It accounts for at least a quarter of the fruit market.
"Not to mention anything else, Jiu Geer's fruit wholesale business is booming. As a result, more and more people are setting up fruit stalls in provincial capitals, and there are many more fruit shops."
Second sister-in-law Li Ling glanced back and forth between Jiang Chaohong and Lin Shu.
She had been silent and asked: "There are a lot of fruit stalls in the city. Don't they all wholesale their fruits from Jiu Geer's fruit shop?"
"Most of them are wholesale from him." Jiang Chaohong nodded.
Li Ling looked at Lin Shu in surprise, "I knew that Lao Jiu was opening a store before, but I didn't know that his business was so big."
Lin Shu wanted to roll his eyes in his heart, but patiently explained: "He does not own the fruit shop alone, there is a partner."
Li Ling: "I know this, the person who partners with him has a good eye for it." Okay, it seems to be Lao Jiu’s classmate.”
“It’s a high school classmate,” Lin Shu added.
Jiang Chaohong mentioned the fruit shop today, not just for small talk. Seeing that they were going to talk further and further, she quickly brought the topic back.
“Now the competition among fruit shops in the provincial capital has become more intense, and business is not as easy as before. Sister-in-law, can you give me a better discount when my brother goes to your fruit shop for wholesale?”
Li Ling: "."
The co-author is waiting here.
Lin Shu sneered inwardly, co-authorship has now been changed to open, your family still wants to do exclusive business.
"Now that the share of the provincial capital is so large, if there are twice as many fruit stalls, business will still be easy. Third sister-in-law, do you have any misunderstanding that business is difficult?"
In later generations That's when the competition is really fierce. The more the cake is divided, the smaller it becomes. As long as you open a store to survive, there will be people doing it even if the profit is meager.
Now the Jiang family's brother's fruit shop can earn one or two months' salary a day. Is this a difficult business?
“Suddenly there are so many competitors. This doesn’t mean it’s difficult to do business. How can it be considered difficult to do business?” Jiang Chaohong asked rhetorically.
First of all, Gu Youhui couldn't stand hearing this, "Third Aunt, although there are more vendors on the street now, it doesn't have a big impact on the fruit shop's business, and the daily profits are still very considerable. You can't do business If you are a little bit affected, let me give you the profit. Besides, my fruit wholesale business also wants to make money.”
Business is not for charity, making money must be the ultimate goal.
Jiang Chaohong felt a little annoyed, and there was a hint of anger on his face, "Youhui, isn't your fruit shop affected?"
Gu Youhui said truthfully: "There must be a little impact, but not much. The store's daily profit is still very considerable."
Lin Shu likes Gu Youhui, a guy who has a certain amount of progress and retreat, and a sense of boundaries.
"You Hui is right, it is impossible to do business without competition. In any business that makes money, there will definitely be people who are jealous and follow suit. The key is whether you know how to adapt." Jiang Chao stopped eating the red rice and turned to He turned his head and looked at Lin Shu: "From my sister-in-law's words, you seem to have a lot of experience in doing business. How about you, my sister-in-law, tell me and pass on your experience, how can a fruit shop increase its profits?"
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows, who was he looking down on?
"It's easier said than done for a fruit shop to increase profits. It's hard to say it's difficult to increase profits if you meet people who don't know how to adapt."
As he said that, Lin Shu looked at Gu Youhui: "Take Youhui's fruit shop as an example. His shop The location of the shop is an excellent location. Youhui, who are the people who go to your shop to buy fruits?”
Although Gu Youhui didn’t know what Lin Shu meant by asking, he was still very interested. The cooperative answer: "Residents from several nearby compounds Residents, as well as outsiders who come to the compound to visit relatives."
Lin Shu nodded, not wanting to eat anymore, and put down the bowls and chopsticks: "The residents' units in the nearby compounds have good welfare, and they are basically you. regular customers in the store. Basically, if you want the store to increase profits, in addition to promotions, you need to make some changes in the sales method."
Gu Youhui became interested and couldn't wait to ask: "Little aunt, what do you think would be the best way to change it?"
"For example, you can order a custom-made hand-woven craft basket from a handicraft factory that looks grand but doesn't actually hold much fruit. Put some of each type of fruit to make a full basket. Then dress it up beautifully and place it in a conspicuous place in the fruit shop. How much does it cost per basket?"
Gu Youhui's eyes lit up: "How much is it better?"
"5.88, 6.88, 8.88, as long as it's an auspicious number."
Gu Youhui understood what she meant, stood up excitedly and gave a high-five, "Good idea."
"What's this idea? Why didn't I understand?" Jiang Chaohong looked at Gu Youhui and then Lin Shu in confusion.
"Haha." Gu Youhui laughed and was in a happy mood. He rarely had the patience to explain to her: "My little aunt means that a basket of high-end fruits is sold for 6.88 yuan. Maybe the actual value of the apples is 1 yuan, and the oranges are 1 yuan. , banana 0.5 yuan , plus some longan and other 1 yuan, plus the cost of the basket, the total value is less than 4 yuan. You can sell it at a high price by decorating it with a basket, which is also a way to generate income.”
< br>Lin Shu gave him a thumbs up, " You are indeed a newbie in the business world who started from scratch in just a few months. You may be the richest man in the country in the future."
Jiang Chaohong frowned: "Isn't this a scam? Who will buy the basket? ”
< br>Gu Youhui smiled and said: "Of course it is bought by those who come to visit relatives. Who among the residents living nearby buys such a fancy fruit basket for themselves?"
The person who gives the gift is naturally Gifts that are beautiful in appearance and high-end will gain face.
Jiang Chaohong's eyebrows widened and she smiled, "This idea sounds good. I'll go back tomorrow and tell my brother so he can start it too."
Lin Shu had a smile on his lips, this idea was a good one. But if you want to make it, you first need to find the materials to decorate the fruit.
As far as she knew, the Jiang family brother was not a diligent person. Whether the specific plan can be successfully implemented depends on the second nephew Gu Youhui.
This man is a young man with very strong brains and execution ability.
With a random idea, Lin Wei was able to set up a stall in the provincial capital, and the stall was successful.
Now that Lin Wei's noodle shop is doing well, Lin Wei and his wife have moved out of the Gu family villa and moved into the second floor of the noodle shop. The two of them immediately made the store their home, eating and living in the store.
Liu Xiao'e wanted to help take care of the children, otherwise she would have moved into a shop. I can also help Lin Wei and his wife look around the store and clear the tables.
As for Lin Guang, the second eldest son of the Lin family in his hometown, Liu Xiaoe had already told him that he wanted them to come to the provincial capital.
But because they need Lin Xue and his wife to get familiar with the canteen, they can only come to the provincial capital after they figure out the purchase channels and can actually open a store on their own.
Gu Jiu went to the north, and Lin Shu became busier than before.
Before, when Gu Jiu was at home, he would help take care of the children, and he would also handle matters outside the trading house. If Lin Shu doesn't want to go to the mountains, he can basically take care of the children at home every day.
Now that he is away from home, Lin Shu not only has to take care of his two children, but also has to go to the trading house every day to collect the daily turnover. I have to visit the construction site every few days, and occasionally settle the payment with the material supplier.
Fortunately, there were two old ladies at home to help take care of the children, which was a great help to Lin Shu and made her feel much more relaxed.
In the villages near the provincial capital, almost every village grows a lot of sweet potatoes.
Wang Suzhen asked someone to buy a lot of sweet potatoes from the countryside.
In the past few days, I am taking advantage of the good weather to steam them with my nanny, cut them into strips, and prepare to dry them in the sun to make dried sweet potatoes.
In this era, children in every family don’t have much snacks to eat. Whenever autumn comes, caring people will dry some dried sweet potatoes and keep them as snacks for their children.
Wang Suzhen is undoubtedly a grandma who loves her children. There are many dustpans in the yard, and steamed sweet potato chips are dried on the dustpans.
The twins are now three months old and will start to grind their teeth in two or three months.
In order to save some good snacks for her two babies to grind their teeth, Wang Suzhen steamed the dried sweet potatoes until soft and then dried them in the sun.
After three steaming and three drying, the dried sweet potatoes contain more and more sugar and taste softer. Very suitable for babies who love to grind their teeth.
Lin Shu held Dabao in her arms and looked at the busy people downstairs, "Qinqin, look at my sister who just loves to join in the fun. That's how a normal baby should react."
In the yard downstairs, Liu Xiao'e was holding Erbao and watching them dry sweet potatoes.
Dabao only glanced downstairs and then cast his gaze into the distance.
"What is your reaction? Do you think your sister is naive?"
Dabao: "."
Lin Shu sighed: "My sister is lively, but you are a little baby, but you pretend to be deep. Can't you chat with me?"
Lin Shu hugged him Sitting back on the sofa, he picked up the newspaper of the day and said, "You can't speak now. If you have anything to say, can you tell me by pointing to the words in the newspaper?"
This is what Lin Shu could think of and say. Son’s most direct way of communication.
Dabao glanced at the newspaper helplessly, pointed to the word 'you' on it, and then pointed to the word '? ’
Lin Shu watched his chubby hand lingering on '? ’, his eyes lit up: “You mean to ask me, what do I want to talk about?”
Dabao blinked, yes!
Lin Shu stared at Dabao's little face for a long time and rolled his eyes, "I don't know if you have any impression of your own appearance, but I remember very clearly that your appearance is very different from the one you had when you were a child in your previous life. They should look the same."
Dabao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he stared at Lin Shu's slightly frowning eyebrows nervously.
Lin Shu smoothed his frown, "Dabao, can you tell me, what is your relationship with Gu Jiu? I'm asking about the past life. Is it possible that he was also your father in the past life?"< br>
