NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89 The toughness of having money in your pocket
In less than two hours, all the watermelons for a cow were sold.
Some people just heard that watermelons were being sold and rushed over. As soon as they came, there were only empty cattle carts.
"Are there any watermelons for sale here?"
"It's all sold out. Come back in the afternoon. We'll bring a cart of melons over in the evening, so hurry up then." Su Erzhu replied.
"I've already trotted over here, why didn't I catch up? Oh, what a pity."
"My colleague bought two melons from you and I tasted a small piece.
The watermelons are so sweet, so I just wanted to buy two of them from you, but I never thought they would be sold out so quickly. "
"It's really unfortunate. It's a good thing, and everyone wants to buy it. We don't have many watermelons in our cart.
Come back in the afternoon. You have to hurry up, otherwise I can't guarantee that your trip will be in vain again. "
After packing up the ox cart, he walked back home, "Dad, we estimate that we will have to sell it for a few days. We have to pull a cart of watermelons to sell for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I guess the town can't consume that much watermelon, so we have to go to the county town when we have time. "
"I think so. Although the county town is far away from us, there are so many people here, so we can raise the price of watermelons to make them more expensive.
After all, this thing is rare and expensive. Now our watermelon is sweet and delicious. Even if the price is a little more expensive, it is still the first one. "Old man Su saw it when he was selling melons just now.
Everyone is trying to be fresh, today is the first time to sell melons, and there are no watermelons for sale in the market.
Their melons were big and fresh, and everyone wanted to buy one back to try it out. They passed it on to others, and many people came here just now.
The watermelon business in the town can last at least ten or eight days.
"We just brought 300 kilograms of watermelon. How much did we sell it for in total?"
"About four to five hundred yuan."
"I've just gone back. Let me borrow two more of your carts. This cart can pull less, and there are so many people here who want to buy melons. Let's take advantage of the fresh energy and sell more melons.
Go to the back, otherwise you won't be able to sell it. This watermelon doesn't hold up well, so it can only be kept for about three or four days at most. "
"Second brother, I'm curious about where you learned the tricks you just mentioned to pick melons. Even I don't know."
"Hey, don't you understand this? I learned this from my little sister. Doesn't my school have a library?
She always brings books back. I have been reading a book about agriculture these days, and there is a description of watermelons. "
"My little sister asked me what book I was interested in, and I said you could lend me an interesting book, preferably one about farming that I could read.
My little sister brought me the illustrated book, which also contained illustrations. "
"Then why didn't she tell both of us? It's so biased."
"Boss, I really like to play and study. When I see mosquitoes, my scalp goes numb. You don't even want to read elementary school textbooks.
Not to mention dad, he doesn’t like to be wordy... I just inherited a bit of my mother, who likes to read and recognize words hahahaha. "
This is true. There are very few people in their family who like to read and read. If they are blind, they can be literate.
"Dad, plus the money we paid from selling the wild boar just now, we sold it for 6000 yuan this time.
We immediately solved all the problems of building a house, and now we still have several thousand dollars to spare. "
"No, if you ask me, it's all Han Lin who is adding fuel to the fire and swaying us.
Otherwise, how would God know that our family is short of money to build a house. "Su Dazhu grinned and laughed when he thought of his niece.
I earned six to seven thousand yuan in one day, which is several years' salary for ordinary factory workers.
The Su family, father and son, breathed a sigh of relief.
"This matter must be kept secret and cannot be spread out. If the family has money, it must not be exposed."
"Dad, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that Han Lin gave me a dream. She said she wanted to have a house on the top of the building, with a terrace."
"Hey, I dreamed about it last night too. Han Lin told me that she wanted to have a house of her own, and it wanted to be on the top floor."
"Your mother and I also had a dream yesterday. The little girl Han Lin had a request, and we had to arrange it for her.
Isn't it just a house? When the time comes, each child will be given an entire small room.
When they grow up, they won't be affected. "
"Dad, please transport another cart of red bricks back on the way. When I came out, it seemed that the red bricks were almost used.
Let's tell the boss by the way and ask them to send a few more trucks of red bricks. "
Many people in the village started small businesses, and after making money, they rebuilt their own houses. Many people built their houses with red bricks.
But the two-story red brick building is quite rare, and the old Su family is probably the first one.
“I heard that people in the city are now installing windows with that kind of glass, and we can go and take a look at that glass then.
It is said to be transparent, so you can see what's going on outside from inside the house, and you can also install screens and so on. "
Who would dare to think that a few months ago, my family was borrowing food from others to survive the winter.
But now, in just three or four months, the old Su family has turned around in an instant. Not only does it have money, but its pockets are also bulging, and it can even afford to build a two-story red brick building now.
This is a dream.
When they arrived at the red brick yard, the owner of the brick factory came out to greet the Su family enthusiastically as soon as he saw them.
"Why are you here?"
"We don't have enough red bricks at home. The red bricks you ordered before are almost used up.
We came here to order some more today, but now we have temporarily changed our mind. We want to build a two-story red-decorated house.
So I’m thinking of ordering more red bricks. I wonder if the red bricks in your factory are enough? "
The boss suddenly became happy and said, "What can't be enough? Our brick factory is working overtime every day to bake bricks.
There have been more and more people building houses recently, and I have been more careful in my mind. These bricks are definitely enough, so you can use them with confidence. "
"It's better to arrange old bricks for us. The new bricks were made not long ago and have not been exposed to wind and rain. I'm afraid they won't be strong and their water absorption won't be that strong."
"Okay, how many houses do you want to pay back now?"
"It should be around fifteen or sixteen. Now it's conservatively two floors, maybe three floors..."
"Then let me ask again, is it still the same as before? Is the area of each room the same? I can estimate it easily. I probably need to use the number of bricks."
"They are all the same. Except for the kitchen and the storage room in the main room, which are larger, the other rooms are about 60 square meters."
"Then let's settle for 80,000 yuan first, okay? Then we'll refund more and make up less."
“The sales volume of our factory’s red bricks is very good, and people are already queuing up for reservations.
You also know that everyone has started a business, has money in their pockets, and hopes to live better, and they are renovating their houses.
Now, place your order for the red bricks and pay a part of the deposit. Once the red bricks are available in our factory, we will directly provide them to you for use, so you don’t have to queue up and there will be a shortage of bricks. "
"What do you think?"
"Of course it's no problem."
