The father and son rode a tricycle back to the noodle shop. They passed by Lin Shu's fruit shop and saw Lin Shu arranging for people to unload boxes of fruit at the door of the fruit shop.
"Young maknae, have new goods arrived?"
"Dad, are you closing the stall? Business must be good today, otherwise you wouldn't close the stall so early."< br>
Lin Shu turned around and saw Lin Gang riding a tricycle and Lin Dashan sitting in the carriage, so he walked over and stretched his neck to look into the carriage.
There are few things left.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are a lot more people on the street, so business is naturally good."
Lin Dashan looked at the fruit shop. There were already a lot of fruits piled at the door, and asked: "What fruits have arrived today?" ?”
“Grapefruit, apple, pear, orange, orange Etc., except for the grapefruits, they are all packaged in gift boxes, making it easier for customers to buy them back and give them as gifts.”
Lin Dashan used to have nothing to do after delivering ingredients to several stores in the morning. Now, after delivering the ingredients, he can also follow him to set up a stall. It can kill time and make money, now it is considered addictive.
He pointed to the fruit at the door: "Tomorrow we will set up a stall and bring more than ten or twenty boxes of fruit to see the trial sales effect. Do you think it will work, maknae?"
Lin Shu looked back at the red fruit packages stacked at the door of the fruit shop. No matter whether they were good or not, at least they looked festive.
However, there are many people shopping in front of the fruit shop now. After all, the fruits that have just arrived look fresh.
"Okay, tomorrow you set up the stall first and then ride back and pull a cart over. Just remember not to sell at a low price."
She is still waiting to make a profit at the end of the year. I want to make money quickly, but I don’t want the price of this batch of fruits to be too low.
“I know this. Whatever price you sell it for here, we will sell it for the same price.”
Lin Shu received Lin Dashan's assurance and nodded, "How much did you earn today?"
When it came to making money, Lin Dashan couldn't stop smiling on his face, "Hahaha, the exact amount is still up. I don’t know, we haven’t had time to settle the score yet. "
"Dad, come down. Lin Gang went to park the tricycle. Let's go to the private room of the restaurant to count."
Lin Shu helped Lin Dashan get off the tricycle and ignored Lin. Just now, the father and daughter went to the private room of the restaurant next door.
When setting up a stall for business, most of the money received is change. Lin Dashan's activity of getting 50 cents off for every ten yuan spent earned him a lot of money today.
When Lin first came in, the father and daughter had already counted out all the workers, peasants and soldiers of the Great Unity.
"The change is six hundred and sixty-five, plus the whole money is one thousand and two, the total sold is one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five yuan."
Lin Dashan took it from the bag When he got the goods in the morning, he took out the purchase list. It was the order that the warehouse keeper gave him when he picked up the goods in the morning. It also showed the total price of the goods today.
It was one thousand five hundred and twenty yuan with a small change.
In other words, Lin Dashan and Lin Gang made three hundred and forty-five yuan from their stalls today.
Lin Dashan gave the payment to Lin Shu, holding the more than 300 yuan he earned today, his face burst into laughter.
Lin Gang never thought that setting up a stall would be so profitable. Before today, he never thought that money could be made so easily.
I earned more than three hundred yuan in one day.
You don’t know that his job was bought for three to four hundred yuan.
In other words, the money you earn in one day can now buy a job.
Tsk!
As expected, big cities like provincial capitals have many opportunities.
Lin Dashan gave Lin Gang one hundred and seventy yuan, "This is your income today, and the extra five yuan will be considered your food expenses today."
Lin just got one hundred and seventeen, and he had no idea what to do with the remaining five yuan.
"Dad, why didn't anyone tell me before that running a street stall can be so profitable? If I had known earlier, why would I have worked? It would be so fun to set up a stall every day."
Earning tens of thousands of yuan in a month is more than you can save even after ten years of hard work.
"It's not too late to know now. Anyway, we don't have any other relatives in the provincial capital. We only need to go to Gu's family to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year. The stupid bird flies first. This Spring Festival, neither of us will rest. We will set up a stall. ”
When others celebrate the New Year, they set up stalls.
Others consume and they make money.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Lin Shu looked at their energetic appearance and couldn't laugh or cry.
The next day, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Lin Shu originally wanted to go around a few shops in Xinfang and see how Lin Dashan was setting up his stall.
It was just that Gu Jiu, whose company was already on vacation, pestered her after breakfast and wanted to take her somewhere.
"Where to go?" Lin Shu put on a scarf, hat and gloves.
"I don't know exactly where we are going. It was organized by Chen Fei. I will follow him today."
Gu Jiu put on his down jacket, put on his hat and scarf, and led Lin Shu to avoid Dabao and Erbao and quietly went out. door.
“Di di di!”
“Brother Ninth, sister-in-law, here!”
As soon as the couple left the gate of the compound, they heard the horn of a car. , according to the sound, Chen Fei was waving to them.
"Hurry up, husband and wife, you two are the only one left."
Lin Shu followed him into the car only to find that there were two other people sitting in the car.
There was a man who looked young but had a beard. After being introduced by Chen Fei, I found out that they called him Huzi.
The other one is a little older and tall. Why does Lin Shu think he is tall while sitting in the car?
It's because his head is closest to the roof of the car.
Especially those long legs that had nowhere to rest in the car. Lin Shu couldn't help but worry about him even when he was sitting in the back seat.
This man Chen Fei calls him Brother Cao.
He was not familiar with Lin Shu, so he just nodded and smiled.
However, they should be very familiar with Gu Jiu, and it was difficult for Lin Shu to ask them where they were going along the way. I can only sit in the car and listen to their chat, and I can hear it from their chat.
Another friend of theirs organized a convoy to bring back a batch of stones from other places. I made appointments with many people today to open their eyes.
This is the gambling stone that Lin Shu heard about in later generations.
Lin Shu has been in the provincial capital for almost two years, and this is the first time he has followed Gu Jiu and Chen Fei out to participate in activities or gatherings.
Maybe they used to come out often, but Gu Jiu didn't come out because she was pregnant and had a baby for more than a year, which delayed him.
[System, Tongzi, you heard it, gambling on stones! You are a system, does it have scanning function? 】
【Back to the host, the system comes with a scanning function, which is standard. As long as the host is willing to spend points, the scanning function can be turned on at any time. 】
[It really has a scanning function. Can a stone be scanned to find out what's inside? 】
System: [Yes! 】
【How many points do you need to scan once? 】Lin Shu felt uneasy, don't ask for thousands of points every time you scan.
If she wanted so many, then she really didn’t dare to use them too casually.
[Go back to the host and use the system scan function, which is very cost-effective. According to the energy consumed by one scan, it requires one hundred points. 】
【hiss! Zhou Bapi! 】
One hundred points in the system is equivalent to one hundred dollars.
In other words, Lin Shu would only get 100 points if he sold herbs worth 100 yuan to the system. In this era when the per capita monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan, one hundred yuan is not a small amount.
[Host, one hundred points for one scan is super cost-effective. You don’t have to strain your muscles and bones after a scan, and you can also get unexpected gains. Why not? 】
Although the sound of the system was mechanical, Lin Shuqin could hear the tune of a profiteer.
The old-fashioned jeep has no heating and is not well sealed. When sitting in the car, the doors and windows are closed, but I still feel the cold wind blowing in through the gaps.
In less than half an hour, Lin Shu felt that the heat in his body was quickly disappearing.
Gu Jiu noticed the change in the color of her lips and touched her hand, which was cold.
Hurry up and hug her, "Is it cold?"
Lin Shu smiled: "It's okay."
"Sister-in-law, keep insisting, we will be there soon."
As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the jeep turned into an alley, and then After walking for a few minutes, we stopped at a factory building.
It is said to be a factory, but actually it is more appropriate to say it is a warehouse.
The exterior wall has been plastered with cement. It has been a few years and looks dusty.
However, there were already many bicycles parked outside the warehouse, as well as a dozen cars.
The factory was already busy at this time, and those who came first were gathering around the stone to watch.
Lin Shu followed them in and found that the warehouse was not much warm. Fortunately, there were fires in several places.
A circle of tables was placed in the center of the warehouse, with many large and small stones placed on the tables.
There are a lot of stones piled up in the center of the table. These stones should be what people in the gambling circle call rough stones.
Lin Shu looked at the people who came earlier with curiosity. There were people of all ages, more men than women.
In this era of insufficient food and shortage of supplies, there are actually a group of people in this humble warehouse who have money to gamble on stones.
Had he not seen this with his own eyes, Lin Shu would not have believed it himself.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Gu, Brother Cao, and Hu Hu, welcome. Thank you for accepting my invitation despite your busy schedule. Who is this?"
While Lin Shu was observing When other people were in the warehouse, a lean man walked over with a smile on his face.
The man greeted everyone and then noticed Lin Shu.
"This is my daughter-in-law Lin Shu, and this is Brother Hou from our compound."
"Hello, Brother Hou."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Yes, my brother and sister are here. Let Mr. Gu accompany you to walk around here more. Brother Hou will help you unpack the stone himself."
"Thank you, I may really bother you later. Help with the stone removal.”
"As long as you have something you like, everything is easy to talk about." Brother Hou greeted everyone cheerfully, so that they could look around the stone first.
When Brother Hou went to greet the others, Lin Shu turned around and asked Gu Jiu: "Is he the owner of the casino?"
"Yes, he has a way to get rough stones. He had no chance before. He made money from it, and now he is opening it up. He was the first to go to the place of origin and transport this batch of stones back.”
< br>"Since we are doing serious business, why don't we set up a storefront along the street to do business, but set it in this warehouse?"
Gu Jiu looked at the slightly larger warehouse and patiently explained: "Betting on Stones It doesn’t have to be paved along the street. In fact, it is more practical to transform the warehouse into a factory like this. ”
Lin Shu came into contact with rough stones for the first time. When he touched the stones, they were similar to the stones he usually saw in the wild. They were strangely shaped, unattractive, and gray. How could jade be found?
"Do you think there is jade in this stone?"
After hearing her question, Gu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry: "Betting on stones, gambling on stones, the reason why I bet is because before the stone was solved, Everything is possible. ”
If you are lucky, you may be able to unlock the jade, but if you are unlucky, you may still be able to unlock the stone.
Okay.
Lin Shu nodded, this was what she was waiting for.
If the stone she chose later turns out to be jade, she is lucky.
Chen Fei patted the largest stone nearby, turned around and asked everyone: "Brother Cao, Brother Jiu, Huzi, do you think there is jade in this stone?"
Brother Cao stepped forward. After checking the stone, he shook his head: "I can't say for sure."
The most important thing is that none of them know how to do it.
They came to participate in this activity just to touch the Buddha's feet last night. The little knowledge they learned from the book was copied and applied to these stones.
Brother Cao turned around and asked the others, "What do you think?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, Huzi shook his head, and looked at Lin Shu again
Hey!
A few people found Lin Shu lying in front of a table, carefully examining the stones on the table one by one.
Several people walked over.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how to identify stones?" Chen Fei looked at the stones that Lin Shu had checked carefully again.
In his opinion, these stones are all similar, and he really doesn’t know how to identify them.
Lin Shu turned around and smiled at them, shaking his head: "I don't understand. Since I don't understand, I want to observe carefully and choose a stone that feels best to me."
Everyone: "."
"I heard that in the stone gambling industry, one will make you poor, two will make you rich, and three will wear sackcloth. You can imagine how deep the knowledge is. How can people like us who are new to this industry compare to those who have many years of experience in stone gambling? Comparison with people in the industry
Since you can’t compare with them. , I can only rely on luck. I think it is better to rely on feeling instead of studying it."
As he said, Lin Shu picked up another stone, looked left and right, knocked and listened, and after a while, he listened. He took out a small flashlight from his pocket and it really looked like that.
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, "When did you prepare the flashlight?"
Lin Shu shook the flashlight in his hand and said nonsense: "I heard you took me out to play. I was afraid that I would not be able to see the road clearly when I returned home, so I brought one with me, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy.”
No one else thought deeply about whether this statement was reasonable.
They approached Lin Shu and asked, "Do you think this stone can turn green?"
Lin Shu looked at the price tag and saw that this stone only cost ten yuan.
He picked up the stone and walked to the place where the stone was unblocked. "Whether it turns green or not, I don't have to say, you will know after you go and untie it."
Lin Shu paid the money and Take the stone to the person who is unblocking it and ask him to help unblock it.
The old man who solved the stone looked at the stone carefully and started working without saying anything.
Everyone was nervous at first, but seeing old man Jie Shi's relaxed expression, everyone finally knew that this stone should be out of stock.
On the contrary, Lin Shu kept reminding the old man to pay attention and not to damage her jade.
The old man was so annoyed that he blew his beard and glared, "You little girl, do you know the ropes or do I?"
"It doesn't matter whether I know the ropes or not, but I work hard and am responsible for every stone. But it's your responsibility." Lin Shu stared back not to be outdone.
The old man was so angry that his beard curled up, but there was nothing he could do.
For this job, I can only compromise and work hard to solve the problem.
One-third of the stone was cut, but what was cut was still stone. Everyone was a little disappointed.
I thought that the first stone would be a good start, but I didn’t expect that the novice protection period would be useless. It would be too difficult to cut jade if you don’t know the ropes.
Lin Shu did not allow the old man to give up and asked him to solve it to the end. (End of chapter)
