Chapter 1435 Booming water business ([-])

This person's words hit the water maid's arms, she raised her hand to attract everyone's attention, and then pointed in the direction of the bamboo gate behind them.

"Look back, we collect all kinds of baskets made of bamboo, and the samples are all on display. If you are a bamboo craftsman or know how to weave bamboo, go and have a look. One bamboo basket is purchased for five yuan, and two bamboo baskets for vegetables are sold. You can get three barrels of water for ten renminbi in a basket, so let’s go and see.”

The maid finished speaking, and looked down. There was no one in front of her. The townspeople threw down the buckets in their hands and ran to the place where the bamboo baskets were hanging out, instantly encircling the shopping stall there.

"Is it really worth five cents for a vegetable basket?!"

"Can you make it up? It has to be the same as the sample. I put the vegetables in the basket and the basket. I won't accept it if my eyes are too big."

"I can make it up, I can make it up, how many do you accept?"

"Our Boss Qi built Qizhuang here. This is a long-term business. You go to Qizhuang to have a look. There are already many refugees who rely on this to earn a living and settle down. So don't worry, we will take care of how many people you send here. Accept, no second price, no second price."

"Two vegetable baskets really give three buckets of water?"

"Two vegetable baskets cost ten cents, and three barrels of water cost nine cents. There is still one penny left over. You send six vegetable baskets for thirty cents at a time, which is exactly ten barrels of water, five dans. Do you understand?"

"Oh oh oh, six vegetable baskets and ten buckets of water, six vegetable baskets and ten barrels of water, six vegetable baskets and ten barrels of water..."

When the villagers and townspeople who could not read a single word heard this, they immediately murmured the words and kept repeating them, fearing that they would forget them when they returned home.

"It's easy for me to take six vegetable baskets, but I don't have ten buckets at home, and I can't carry ten buckets of water back."

"Not only ten barrels, but also five shoulder poles."

The unintentional gossip of the two villagers calmed down the enthusiastic crowd all of a sudden, scratching their heads and thinking about whether this good business could be done by themselves.

Carrying poles and wooden barrels are not small items that can be bought easily in the homes of poor people. In places where salt is produced in Fuxian County, the local poor people have to calculate left and right if they want to eat salt. Squeeze out a few pennies, so if you don’t have to replace it, don’t change it. If you can make do with it, you can make do with it. Life is like this. It’s good now. Bamboo vegetable baskets can change water, but there are not so many buckets. It’s really attractive. Worry.

"It's not a problem if you don't have a bucket. I will keep the account, and I will keep the account. You can bring the vegetable basket, and I will put it on the account after you change it into money. You can use it to buy water or to buy things in the grocery store. , you don’t need to carry so many barrels at once, a new wooden barrel is worth a lot of water, it’s worth it.”

"Accounting? How to keep accounts?"

"Do you still have a grocery store here?"

The maid who set up the stall immediately took out a brand new passbook and held it up above her head, shaking it so that everyone in the front, back, left, and left could see it clearly.

"See, this is called a passbook. It is issued by the credit union under the name of Boss Qi. One person has one book, and the real name is registered. As long as it is a passbook in your own name, you are only allowed to pay the money yourself. Parents, mothers, wives and children don't even want to take it away under your name. , but parents, wives, children and all outsiders can deposit money in your passbook, and after depositing it, only you can withdraw it.”

"You bring a vegetable basket, exchange it with the corresponding amount of money, and record it in your passbook. Then you use your passbook to buy water, and the account will be transferred to you, which is an expense. When you save more money, you want to buy things for your family. Just go to the grocery store, it’s the same. After buying, calculate the total amount and write down an expense in the passbook. When you go out, you can bring your passbook here. You don’t need to bring a penny of cash. It’s more convenient and safer, and you don’t have to worry about going out. When you meet thieves and robbers, it’s useless for them to steal it, and you don’t have to look for it, just come back and make up a new book, and the money on the account is still yours.”
