Zvezda hydroelectric power station.
There are several private houses on the roadside between the factory and the family area.
There is a large wooden board hanging in one of them, with the three characters "commissary" written on it with a brush.
These three characters were handwritten by a new technical secondary school student from Fang Hongqiu Hydropower Station last year.
People come in and out of the canteen from time to time. It is obviously the end of the year and the business of the canteen is not bad.
"Mom, my classmate asked me to go to town with him. Please give me five yuan quickly."
Fang Dadi rushed in from outside, leaned on the wooden cabinet and faced Fang's mother who was counting money at the counter. Reach out.
Fang’s mother glared: “Just five yuan for asking, do you think our family prints money?”
“Our family’s canteen business is so good, it’s impossible to even pay five yuan. I can’t take it out. Mom, do you think I’m so easy to deceive?” ?”
"I want a wife in the future, and now I also want money."
Fang Dadi took advantage of Fang's mother's distraction and took out a big ball from her hand when she was not prepared.
After getting the money he wanted, he quickly ran out, waving to Fang Mu behind him as he ran, "No need to leave my food for lunch."
When the others ran away, Mother Fang's nose almost turned crooked when she realized what she was doing.
She yelled at the door: "You better not go home tonight, otherwise I will ask you to break your legs."
Fang Hong, who was tallying goods at the back, heard the commotion and came out, "Mom, don't say harsh words here. A hundred harsh words would be better than just beating him once. Your cruel words, which are not painful or itchy, will hurt him." It didn't have any deterrent effect."
Fang Mu fell in love with her. At a glance, "What else can I do if I don't say harsh words? I can't beat him again and again. What else can I do except say harsh words?"
Fang Hong counted the goods at the back and knew that there was not much in stock. Now she Too lazy to worry about these trivial matters, he started talking about serious matters.
“Business is good at the end of the year. The goods we purchased last time are almost sold out. I’d better go buy them again tomorrow. Otherwise, I’m afraid there will be no goods to sell in the first month.”
“My hand I don’t have much money, I’m afraid it’s not enough to pay for the goods. Last time I told him not to return the gift money to the Lin family, but you refused. Now it’s okay, so we don’t have enough money for the goods.”
Regarding Fang's mother's complaint, Fang Hong was very angry and said, "Mom, you are still being unreasonable. Why should I return it to him? I have told you many times. The channel through which we purchase goods is the eldest nephew of the Lin family. If If we don’t refund the gift money, we will still be able to go to Lin’s Trading Company even though we are already at a loss. Goods?”
“Now that you are complaining about me, why don’t you close this canteen? Anyway, you will offend the Lin family, and I don’t know if I can get the goods from them.”
“I will. If you don’t believe it, there’s no one else in the city that can buy it,” Fang’s mother said harshly.
Fang Hong was too lazy to argue with her, put away the list of goods, and took out her small cloth bag from the container, "Li Hua asked me to go out to play. You went to play with him. You watched at home. "
Fang's mother laughed after hearing this, "Okay, I'll look after the store at home. You guys have fun. Also, remind him and see if you can get your brother in next year. Work at a hydropower station?”
"I know, I know, you're the one who's so verbose!" Fang Hong threw the bag over her shoulder and went out.
When she reached the agreed place, Li Hua and several friends who often played together were standing on the cement dam throwing earth cannons into the shallow puddles in the river.
The so-called native cannons are firecrackers made by some private workshops in the countryside. They are as big as a thumb and very powerful.
If you are not careful, it can easily explode.
Fang Hong was very afraid of this kind of firecrackers, and would not dare to step forward if she was far away.
The fat man noticed Fang Hong, blew a frivolous whistle towards Fang Hong, and turned to remind Li Hua: "Hua Zi, your horse is here."
Li Hua threw the firecracker in his hand into the water and turned around. Looking up, he found Fang Hong waving to him.
Li Hua waved his hand and the others stopped setting off firecrackers.
Fang Hong walked up to Li Hua amidst the cheers of others and said, "Hua Zi, where are you going to play today?"
Li Hua spoke with a cigarette in his mouth. He asked, "What fun place is there in this remote country? Today my buddies and I made an appointment to use cannons to fry fish. Would you like to go with us?"
And Fang Hong likes his arrogance and feels that only people with good family conditions can cultivate such arrogance.
People like Lin Gang who come from rural areas like to please others only when interacting with others.
Lin Gang didn't know at this moment that the modest and gentlemanly manner he displayed during his relationship with her seemed to Fang Hong to be groveling and spineless.
"The firecrackers are too loud, I'm a little scared. However, I feel safe with you Huazi, so I'm not so scared."
A few others standing not far away Gay man, almost burst out laughing.
To be honest, they were really envious of Hua Zi for being so charming and seducing Lin Gang's love interest.
I just don’t know if Fang Hong will do it again next time she meets someone more powerful.
However, this is not what they should worry about. Besides, they still don't know whether Hua Zi is serious about Fang Hong.
Before they figure it out, they should take it easy.
Li Hua put his arm around Fang Hong's shoulders and signaled his companions to fry the fish quickly to see who could make the water soar the highest and fry the most fish.
Of course, during the fish frying period, Fang Hong was so frightened that she screamed and crawled straight into Li Hua's arms. Li Hua felt so beautiful in her warm and fragrant soft jade.
The fat man pushed Gao Zi and said, "Hey, look at Hua Zi's good fortune. He must be extremely beautiful in his heart."
Although Gao Zi and Li Hua are in the same group, look at Not used to Fang Hong.
He looked at the two people hugging each other and asked the fat man: "I heard that guy Lin Gang went home for the New Year. If he was on duty at the power station and saw the two of them hugging each other, do you think he would Won’t you be so angry that you vomit blood?”
“It’s useless to be angry anymore.” The fat man didn’t have much sympathy and sneered: “Don’t forget, there is no one behind Lin Gang to support him, how can he win? Guo Huazi.”
Gao Zi said: "I heard that the canteen opened by Fang Hong's family was contributed by Lin Gang's family."
"Lin Gang came back after the Chinese New Year. How about we treat him to a drink and thank him for helping Fang Hong?" Opened a shop. Only when Fang Hong made money did she have the money to support Hua Zixiao, and we also benefited from it."
The fat man thought of Lin Gang making wedding clothes for others, and felt sorry for him for a second. .
"Forget it, I'm afraid he will regard us as enemies and fight with us." Gao Zi shook his head.
The fat man lit a firecracker and threw it into the water. With a bang, Fang Hong screamed and buried her head in Li Hua's arms.
Looking at the delicate and pretentious Fang Hong, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be beautiful. In the future, when we look for a wife, we must not be too outstanding. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I can't control it and will one day turn green." Hairy turtle.”
Gao Zi felt the same way, "Yes, yes, my mother asked me to go on a blind date in the first month of the year. Then I will go on a blind date according to the request you just mentioned."
"Hua Zi and Fang Hong fought. It was so hot that the director still didn’t know that his precious son was from a country. If you find out, do you think the director will agree?"
"Tsk, Fang Hong is so brave, I dare to take this gamble." The fat man leaned into Gao Zi's ear and whispered: "I heard that Lin Although Gang's family is from a rural area, the conditions at home are not bad. In order to gain the power of Sesame Mung Bean, Fang Hong kicked such an outstanding person down. If there was no possibility for her and Hua Zi in the future, she would not. Will you regret it?”
And Lin Gang, who was in their topic, was forced by Lin Dashan and Lin Shu to roughly explain the situation between him and Fang Hong.
Lin Shu looked him up and down and asked, "Where is the gift money that Fang Hong returned? Since it has been returned, should you give it back to your parents?"
In the previous life, Lin Gang was absent. Tune, now that he has a formal job in this life, Lin Shu cannot guarantee that he will change.
Lin Shu was worried about him being given a large amount of gift money. I was afraid that he would waste the gift money that his parents had finally saved.
Lin Gang glared at Lin Shu, stood up, picked up the luggage bag on the bed next to him, took out a paper bag from the bag and handed it to Lin Dashan. No need to ask, this should be the gift money.
Sure enough, Lin Dashan opened the paper package and found a thick stack of Tuan Tuan inside.
“Fortunately, that girl wanted to save face. Even if she didn’t get along with you, she consciously returned the gift money.” Lin Dashan was filled with joy as he held a thick stack of big gifts.
"Does she dare not to retreat?" Lin Shu sneered: "Don't forget that her canteen was opened by us. Whether it is funds or goods!"
Lin Dashan He counted the money and put the newspaper in his wallet again.
Finally, he handed the money to Lin Shu, "It's not as safe as at home. It's not safe to keep money around if you live outside. You'd better keep it for me."
Lin Shu glanced at Lin Gang and asked with a smile : "Dad, are you trusting me?"
Lin Dashan couldn't help but laugh: "What's there to worry about? You are now the most powerful person in our family." People who are rich will still be greedy for our small money?"
Lin Shu smiled and shook his head, "Okay, leave this money with me for the time being."
She said. Looking at Lin Gang: "Today is twenty-eight. If you have nothing to do tomorrow and the next two days, just take some goods from my warehouse and set up a street stall."
When Lin Dashan heard this, he thought it was a good idea, "The youngest is right, third brother, you are idle these days anyway, why not set up a street stall for a few days."
"Set up a street stall? Selling. What?" Lin Gang looked at Lin Shu with questioning eyes.
"Daily necessities, hardware and department stores, etc. It's the end of the year, and the street stall business is really good. It's easy to make a hundred and eighty yuan a day."
Lin Gang didn't believe it: "One hundred and eighty? Don't fool me!"
One hundred and eighty?
Is money so easy to make?
You must know that his monthly salary is only thirty or forty yuan, but setting up a street stall in the provincial capital can earn one hundred and eighty yuan a day. Isn't that faster than picking up money?
Lin Shu said angrily: "Do you want to go or not? What is there for me to deceive you about?"
Lin Dashan raised his hand and slapped him in the face, "Listen to the youngest. .You don’t know that most of the people I know in the provincial capital are Everyone is struggling to make money. Especially a young man named Youhui from the Gu family made money by setting up a stall for a few months last year and is now the boss of several stores.”
"Is setting up a stall really so profitable?" Lin Gang was doubtful.
Whether he believed it or not, Lin Dashan took him to the warehouse early the next morning and bought a lot of goods from the warehouse manager.
Then, Lin Dashan accompanied him to the street and chose an open space with a lot of traffic to place it.
Before the place was completely set, someone came up and picked up a fruit knife and asked the price: "Boss, how much does this knife cost?"
"Here. Wait a minute. Let me take a look."
Lin Gang picked up the purchase book and found the purchase price of the knife, "This fruit knife is one yuan and a half, no ticket."
"Can it be less?"
Lin Gang was thinking about refusing without bargaining.
Lin Dashan spoke before him, "If you spend over ten yuan on all products, you can get a discount of fifty cents."
"If you spend over ten yuan, you will get a discount of fifty cents." Although the customer said this with a bit of disgust. , but his eyes kept looking back and forth on the stall.
Presumably he wants to see if there are any products he needs.
"How to sell the lunch box?"
Lin Dashan lifted the stainless steel insulated lunch box, "This is an insulated lunch box. It has a large space inside, which can be used to hold meals, soup and porridge. If it is for family members Meals are very convenient.”
Lin Dashan opened the lunch box and showed him what was inside. There were two smaller bowls inside, but the meals were packed separately.
The customer has never seen such an exquisite lunch box. When asked, the price is only five yuan.
His wife is about to give birth and will give birth in the hospital. This lunch box can be used to deliver meals to his wife.
"I want this insulated lunch box, and get me a matching stainless steel spoon."
"Okay, the insulated lunch box is five yuan, the fruit knife is one and a half yuan, and the stainless steel spoon is eighty cents. The total is seven. It's 30 cents, which is 50 cents away from the discount, and still two 70 cents short. Money, what else do you want to choose?”
“How to sell that stainless steel basin?”
“It’s still worth three yuan.” For the extra 30 cents, can you give me an extra 10 cents?”
"There is not much profit in a small business, so please be merciful, comrade. These things cost you ten yuan and thirty cents together, and the discount of fifty cents is nine yuan and eighty cents."
Lin Dashan made his first transaction Business, wait for the customer to pay and leave.
When he turned around, he saw that Lin Gang was still there in a daze. He was so angry that he yelled at him: "You brat, the stall hasn't been set up yet. Why are you dazed there? Why don't you put out the goods quickly?" !”
“Oh, oh, okay!”
Lin Gang came to his senses in shock. He never knew that honest and honest old farmers could trick passers-by into buying things.
This was seriously inconsistent with the image of his father in his impression.
In order to increase Lin Gang's confidence, Lin Dashan walked up to him and whispered: "The purchase price of the insulated lunch box just now is four yuan, the spoon is fifty cents, the fruit knife is one yuan and two, and the washbasin is two and a half yuan. Do the math. How much did we make just now?”
While arranging the goods, Lin Gang calculated in his mind: "The cost was eighty-two yuan, and the customer paid ninety-eight yuan, which is equivalent to a net profit of one yuan and sixty cents for us."
One dollar and sixty per order. , Ten orders are sixteen yuan, isn’t one hundred orders equal to one hundred and sixty?
Lin Gang was startled by his own algorithm. When he regained his senses, a passerby was attracted by the stall next to him.
At first it was Lin Dashan who was shouting, but gradually Lin Gang let go.
Starting to cooperate with Lin Dashan, the two of them each took care of a part of the stall and greeted the nearest customers. Business really started for them.
The initial number of transactions was small, but Lin Gang would still make one and calculate how much he earned.
As the number of customers gradually increased, the two of them were a little too busy, and Lin Gang had no time to calculate how much he had earned.
The street stall business was good. At noon, Lin Dashan and Lin Gang took a break from their busy schedule to nibble on a steamed bun. After filling my stomach for a while, I started to get busy again.
In the end, around three o'clock in the afternoon, the goods on the street stalls were almost sold out, with only some small commodities left.
The father and son picked up the few small commodities left on the street stall, closed the stall and went home.
"Dad, how much do you think we earned today?"
On the way back, Lin Gang couldn't wait to ask Lin Dashan.
After all, the canvas bag containing the money is now on Lin Dashan's back.
"I guess there are a hundred anyway."
Lin Dashan has never set up a street stall, so the number reported is just a guess.
Lin Gang urged excitedly: "Hurry up, let's go back and count. If we make more, we can buy more goods tomorrow and sell them until evening before going home. Wouldn't we make more money?" (End of this chapter)
