Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 228 227. General Contractor

During the weekend holiday, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen had just entered the bay and hadn't even reached their door when they ran into Xiang Lan who came to greet them.

The little girl said to her with a happy face, "Sister, I have good news for you, our Ah Hua gave birth to a baby."

After hearing this, Xiang Jin was immediately overjoyed, "Really? When did you give birth? How many were born?"

Xiang Lan replied, "My mother and grandpa said that it should be midnight last Friday night, because when we got up the next morning, we heard a puppy whimpering in the kennel, and then we ran away. When we went out to look, we found that suddenly there were a few more puppies in the litter, and then we counted them, and found that Ah Hua had given birth to six puppies."

"Six?" Then Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "Looks like we can bring one to the school to raise."

Yan Chen also nodded, "Yeah!"

Xiang Lan waved his hand and said, "No, no, you can't take away the puppies just now, they are only a few days old, and now they can't open their eyes, and they can't walk on the road. I heard from grandpa and the others that the little milk dog You have to follow your mother to eat milk for at least three months, otherwise you won’t be able to feed yourself.”

"Is there such a thing?" Xiang Jin was surprised.

Xiang Lan nodded, "Well, what my grandfather said was that puppies couldn't even eat meat when they were very young. If they ate like that, they would have diarrhea and die easily."

"So squeamish," both Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were stunned, then Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said, "Then it looks like we won't be able to bring him to school until at least next year."

"Yeah," Yan Chen nodded again.

Then Xiang Jin asked Xiang Lan, "Are those puppies cute and beautiful?"

"Well, cute, beautiful, small, short, and fluffy, there are two furs that look like Hucai, one that looks like A Hua, and two that look like Hucai. It's like protecting money and like Ah Hua," the little girl nodded heavily at her, and then described.

Xiang Jin said, "It seems that the genes for protecting money are strong!"

Yan Chen just laughed.

Then I heard the little girl complaining to herself again, "Ever since Ah Hua gave birth to a pup, that Hucai has become lazy. That day, a few big pheasants came running from the hillside next to it, and they all swaggered away at the head of our courtyard. closed."

Xiang Jin couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and then explained to her, "The Hucai is not getting lazy, but because it has been upgraded to become a father, and Ah Hua is in confinement, and it wants to stay and take care of and protect it. How many mothers and children are there?"

After hearing her words, Yan Chen turned his head and looked at her with deep eyes for a moment.

The little girl half-understood, "Is that so?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Of course! Well, let's go, go home!"

The little girl nodded heavily, and then the group continued to walk into the bay, and then Xiang Jin asked Xiang Lan, "Then Ah Hua has given birth, how is their food?"

Xiang Lan said, "Okay, okay, we have to eat meat every day, either Grandma Mo and his family bring it to them, or Aunt Liao brings it to them, and our family also feeds them meat, every day changes. By tricks, it’s not fried meat and pork liver, or stewed meat and bones, all of them are better than human food.”

Xiang Jin gave her an annoyed look, "When will you not eat meat? You even competed with dogs for food, what's your point?!"

Xiang Lan retorted, "I'm not talking about us, I'm talking about comparing with some other people."

When Xiang Jin thought about it, it was true, but they couldn't be blamed for their extravagance, but because life was created by themselves, so she taught Xiang Lan, "Don't talk nonsense outside, why don't you think about it, that protects money He and Ahua are the guardians of our home, because our home has them, so our home is safe.

When their cubs grow up, they will become the new guardians of our family, so we should treat them well and give them delicious food! "

Xiang Lan nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I know, I just said it casually, and I only said it in front of you, and I didn't say it in front of outsiders."

The little girl is good at this. No matter what is going on at home, she keeps her mouth tightly shut outside and never reveals anything to anyone.

Then Xiang Jin told her, "Don't come out alone to pick me up when it's dark, you know? I know the way back, and I'm with your brother Yan Chen, nothing will happen, but you , You see, you ran out alone, your family didn’t know, and there was no one on such a big road, you are so small, it’s not safe! If you meet a bad person, they will cover your mouth and hug you away, and then sell you What about going outside?"

"Sister, don't scare me," the little girl was shocked when she heard this.

Xiang Jin said, "This is not to scare you, but it is real, that is, some families in the coastal areas have no children, and then some villains steal or coax children from other people's families in the interior to abduct and sell them there.

Therefore, children should be vigilant at all times, and have a sense of protection for their own life safety. Don't trust strangers' words easily, and don't go to the homes of unfamiliar people easily. If you have to go, call more often. A few people together, you know? "

"Oh, I see!"

Back home, Xiang Jin's mother was stewing the meat and cooking, while her grandfather was sitting in the yard weaving the straw mat.

"Grandpa?!"

"Oh, girl Jin is back?!"

Xiang Jin walked over, "Grandpa, it's getting dark, why don't you make it up?"

"It's okay, I can still see it," her grandfather said while sitting on the ground, weaving the straw into the strip.

Then Xiang Jin said again, "Take a break, don't worry about this, it will only be used when it is very cold."

Her grandfather said, "I want to weave our family all at once, and then I will help you Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng to weave some. Your Aunt Liao is struggling to weave it by yourself. Your Grandpa Zeng used to be a cultured man." Man, who has ever done this kind of work? In addition, he has high blood pressure, so he shouldn't be squatting on the ground for too long."

Then Xiang Jin asked, "Then how much has our family compiled?"

Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "Hurry up, we'll make a few more tomorrow and that's enough."

Then Xiang Lan said, "Grandpa has already made up a house, and put it in the small house next to it."

"So much?" Xiang Jin was surprised.

The little girl nodded vigorously, "Well, they are all neatly stacked. If you don't believe me, you can go and see later."

Her grandfather smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do every day. Make up this time and hurry up. If we can't use it up by then, your Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng can also use it."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Then is there enough straw for our family?"

Her grandfather nodded, "That's enough, that's enough. Didn't they ask us to collect the straw when Lao Xiang's family harvested the half of the rice? I'm so happy that I harvested it back then, otherwise it would have been a shame." I'm afraid it won't be enough, your Aunt Liao's family and your Grandpa Zeng only planted one field, which looks like two or three parts of the field, how do you think they have enough straw?"

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Grandpa, have the seedlings grown in our field?"

Her grandfather nodded, "It's born, it's all born. I go to the field every day after I eat and have nothing to do, as a way to digest food. You asked me to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, and lettuce , I think they have all grown, and we have planted the second batch of green vegetable seeds. After they grow, I will plant the third batch, and I also listened to your great-grandfather’s words, and we planted all the green vegetables in that field. It was raised there."

"Then have you planted those sweet potato leaves and pea tips?" Xiang Jin followed up and asked again.

"It's planted, it's all planted, and the seedlings have already been born. As long as you say it, we will plant it."

Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Grandpa, when the weather gets cold, sprinkle some plant ash on the ground. The plant ash not only contains potassium fertilizer, but it can also protect vegetables from freezing, keeping warm and dehumidifying."

"Okay! At that time, I will also tell you Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng about it."

"okay!"

In the evening, after dinner, he took her mother to his room and asked her about things, "Mom, have you checked out the two uncles?"

Her mother Yang Juyun said, "I checked, but your two uncles and aunts still prefer to build a house in their hometown."

"Oh, forget it!"

Then Yang Juyun hesitated and said, "Girl, if your uncle and aunts don't buy that house, how about we buy it?"

Xiang Jin was speechless, thinking that her mother was so bold, so she asked, "Then do you know how much it will cost to sell this house? And how much money do you have now?"

Yang Juyun said, "I originally had 2000 yuan in my hand, and with the money I earned in the past two months, I still have more than 6000 yuan in total."

"You have so much money?" Xiang Jin was a little surprised.

Yang Juyun nodded, "Yes, when I used to sell for only half a day, I could earn an average of 60 yuan a day. Later, since your uncle and the others went to the streets, I changed to selling for a whole day, plus Selling stewed eggs and dried beans on the Internet, it looks like you can earn almost 100 yuan a day, and I am mainly reluctant to take that position.”

Xiang Jin nodded, "The location is indeed very good, but it is not necessary for us, you can sell braised vegetables anywhere, as long as your taste is good, others will come to you to buy them.

In fact, that position does not have much impact on us now. In fact, that position is more beneficial to my two uncles.

But their ideas are different from ours. Alas, let them do it. Anyway, I rented the house for two years. After two years, it depends on whether they continue to rent it or something else. It’s up to them. "

Yang Juyun said, "You don't agree with Mom buying that house?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's not that I don't agree, I just don't think it's very meaningful at the moment, because we just built a house, Xiang Lan is still studying in the village school, and my grandfather still lives in our house. There are old and young in the family. , you can't live in the town, what's the point of us buying that house? Is it for decoration?"

Yang Juyun shook his head, and Xiang Jin said, "Is that so? I mean, in order to avoid the trouble of carrying that meat back and forth every day in the future, you can first use the money to buy a motorcycle, and then go back and forth every day." Riding a motorcycle is both convenient and fast.”

Yang Juyun said, "Riding a motorcycle? I haven't even thought about it!"

Xiang Jin said, "Then you can think about it now!"

Yang Juyun said, "Then it's still inconvenient for us to ride a motorcycle on a rainy day?"

"That's true." They are still dirt roads here, and it's muddy when it rains.

Then Xiang Jin said again, "Well, don't go to find out what the landlord wants for now, at the end of the year, do you think they will come back for the New Year?
If they don't come back, it means that they prefer to stay in the provincial capital and don't have much nostalgia for the houses in the town. Then you call to find out what they mean. Brother and sister teamed up to pool money to buy the house.

But don't say that one of you bought it alone, because that will make others think that the location of this house is good, so you can make money here, otherwise it won't be less than half a year Just buy such a house in time, and then others may not sell you, and they may take it back and start their own business.

If someone asks you why you bought this house, you say that because of business, there is no one to look after the children at home, so you are worried, so you transfer to the small town, but the town is so far away from home, and it is difficult for a few children to go back and forth every day. It was inconvenient, so I wanted to buy a house in the town, and then have a place to live. I said that because they rented their house again, the upstairs and downstairs were just convenient to take care of. "

After hearing this, Yang Juyun nodded, "Okay, then I will listen to you."

Xiang Jin then added, "Don't worry, judging from the current situation, the prices of houses in the town will not fluctuate much in the past one or two years."

"Really, that's good, that's good!"

"Then how did you inquire about the things in the town that I asked you to inquire about?" Xiang Jin continued to ask.

Her mother said, "Inquired, inquired, the canteen in the town is also contracted out by others, and it is said that there are several restaurants that cook and sell there."

Hearing this, Xiang Jin frowned, "Okay, I get it."

So the next morning, when Xiang Jin and the others went to the town together, she told Yan Chen about it.

Yan Chen said, "It means that Zhenzhong cannot become our first batch of big customers, it can only be treated as a second-level customer."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I thought we could talk about the canteen contracted by a family, but there are several bosses in it, so it's not easy, and their family can't use much in a day. You can buy some vegetables at any vegetable market, and you will definitely not want to travel so far to our fields to pick vegetables."

After hearing this, Yan Chen comforted her and said, "It's okay, we'll just look for someone else when the time comes."

Xiang Jin said, "The main reason is that we don't have much time. We have come back this time, and we will have to wait two weeks before we can come back. By then, the vegetables in the field should be picked. I'm afraid we won't get in touch with the customer right now. , then it will be too late to contact you when you come back, and that dish will be an elder by then."

"It's okay, don't we have half a day left today?" Yan Chen continued to comfort her.

Xiang Jin also had no choice but to nod, "Oh, forget it, let's do it one by one."

After arriving in the town, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen sent her mother to the shop first.

Today is not on the spot, so there are not many people on the street, and the people who buy vegetables are basically the residents of the town.

When Xiang Jin and the others got there, they caught up with the butcher father and son who came to deliver the meat. The father and son were surnamed Feng, and they were from the head of Fengjiagou, the third brigade not far from the town.

It was the honest butcher Xiang Jin told her mother about. The father was about 50 years old, and the son was about 30 years old. Both father and son lived by butchering pigs and selling meat. .

Ever since Xiang Jin asked her mother to sign a long-term meat contract with Boss Feng and his son, the father and son delivered the meat to their homes every day, and put a steelyard directly on them to weigh it. At this moment, they were weighing their flesh with her uncle and uncle.

"Uncle Feng, brother Feng is so early today?" After they weighed the scale and paid the money, Xiang Jin walked over to greet them.

"Girl Xiang and Boy Yan came to the street today?" Seeing them, Uncle Feng and his son greeted them warmly.

"Ah, this weekend, let's go to the streets," Xiang Jin nodded slightly.

Then Uncle Feng said, "Not on the spot today, there are not many people in the town, and the shop is not very busy, so I will let your aunt look after it there, and then I will send you the meat with your big brother first, so that you It can also be used sooner.”

Xiang Jin nodded, "That's right!"

"Okay, we won't disturb your busy work, we'll go back now," Uncle Feng patted the clothes on his body, and followed suit.

But Yan Chen called them in time, "Uncle Feng, Brother Feng, please wait a moment?!"

The father and son stood still, and everyone looked at Yan Chen in unison, but Yan Chen said, "I want to talk to you guys, let's sit down inside and talk about it," he then made an invitation posture.

"Yes, yes, we have something to talk to you about," Xiang Jin immediately understood Yan Chen's intentions, so he hurriedly said.

Although the father and son didn't know what the two children's family wanted to talk to them about, they still followed them in.

Xiang Jin, her uncle and second uncle, asked how many of them had breakfast?If not they get them some.

Both Xiang Jin and Yan Chen said they had eaten it, but the Feng family father and son said they would eat it later when they went back.

He is indeed a sincere person!Xiang Jin thought truthfully in her heart, and then asked her second uncles to get each of them something to eat. The father and son tried to evade, saying that Feng Dabao's wife was already cooking when they left, but In the end, they were persuaded by Xiang Jin and the others.

While her second uncles were making food for the father and son, Yan Chen asked them, "Uncle Feng, Brother Feng, I want to ask, is there anyone in your vegetable market that manages it in a unified manner?"

Then Uncle Feng said, "Yes, there are two sub-district offices. One is responsible for collecting a few dollars a month for booth fees and garbage cleaning fees, and the other is responsible for collecting garbage."

"Then how do you set the vegetable prices in your vegetable market? Is there a management department that sets the vegetable prices uniformly?" Yan Chen then asked again.

The father and son shook their heads, and Uncle Feng said, "Without this management department, the pricing range in our vegetable market is uniformly delineated by the government. Take our pork for example. The government stipulates, Our pork can only be bought between three and five to four yuan, so we can only sell it in this range, and we can’t sell it for less than three and five yuan, or higher than four yuan, otherwise the market will be chaotic. "

Xiang Jin and the others nodded, "Understood."

Then Xiang Jin asked, "Then after the price is set, will it remain unchanged?"

Then Feng Dabao said, "It still needs to change. For example, when it encounters dry weather, waterlogging, insect disasters and so on, it still needs to change. If it encounters a year with good weather, basically it will not change. It's the price in that category."

Xiang Jin and the others nodded again.

Then Yan Chen asked again, "Then is there a relatively large supplier in your vegetable market, that is to say, he is the general supplier, and then other vendors buy from him if they want goods."

Uncle Feng thought for a while and then shook his head, "That's not true. Every household grows vegetables. Who would go to other people's places to get the goods?"

His son Feng Dabao said, "Why not? That Xishikou is a dry goods business. He just collects dry goods from outside and distributes them to some other merchants."

After being reminded by his son, Uncle Feng suddenly realized, "Oh, that's right, that's right, look how I forgot about him, hey, why did you two little guys suddenly inquire about these things?"

Yan Chen and Xiang Jin looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment, Xiang Jin's second uncle brought food to the father and son, and Xiang Jin told them to eat quickly and talk about it after eating.

The father and son said it was all right, and it was the same thing while eating, and then Xiang Jin and the others glanced at their watches, and then the two of them didn't settle for that, after all, they still had appointments with Manager Huang and Manager Xiao today .

So Yan Chen said, "Now there is an opportunity for you to be that kind of general contractor, are you interested?"

When the father and son heard this, they stopped eating immediately. They were both excited and confused, so Uncle Feng frowned and said, "Boy Yan, what do you mean by that? Why can't I understand it?"

Both Xiang Jin and Yan Chen laughed, and Xiang Jin said, "Uncle Feng, Brother Feng, it's like this. We grow some vegetables in greenhouses at home, which are the kind of vegetables that we don't have here. It's delicious."

Then Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin to show them the picture, and then Xiang Jin remembered that they had brought the picture, so he quickly turned out the packaging pictures of several vegetables, and then handed them to them. "Hey, that's it. It's estimated that it will be ready to be picked in about two weeks."

After the father and son took it, they said, "Is it these dishes?"

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded, "Well, we have nothing but radishes and cabbage and lump vegetables this winter, and people get tired of eating them every day, so let's grow some. We will provide you with unique dishes, but I wonder if you are interested in becoming a general contractor?"

The father and son were a little moved and hesitated, and Feng Dabao asked, "Since you planted it yourself, why don't you sell it yourself, and instead let us do it?"

Xiang Jin said, "There are no hands. To be honest, my grandfather grows the food in our family, and Yan Chen's family also grows it with his grandparents. The other family only grows it with an aunt. There is no extra staff in the family. , We also thought that we are also very acquainted people, and we know each other better, so instead of letting others do this business, it is better to let you do it."

After listening to Xiang Jin's words, the father and son were very relieved, their faces bloomed, and they kept nodding and said, "That's it, that's it!"

Then Uncle Feng said, "Are these dishes really delicious?"

Xiang Jin nodded sharply, "It's really delicious. I won't lie to you. It's tender, crispy, and delicious. If you don't believe me, I'll ask my mother to bring you some when our dish comes out. You can try it and you'll know." .”

Because Xiang Jin and Yan Chen often bought meat at their home in the past, and because of their long-term cooperation with their family, the father and son knew Xiang Jin and Yan Chen quite well, knowing that these two children were not lying , so he nodded and agreed, "Okay!"

Then Feng Dabao expressed his attitude on the spot, "Father, I will take care of this business. From now on, you and my mother will be responsible for selling meat, and my wife and I will be responsible for selling vegetables."

Uncle Feng nodded after thinking for a while, "Okay!"

Then Xiang Jin said, "Uncle Feng, Brother Feng, I told you just now, because there are not enough people in the family, so you have to come to pick up the food by yourself, but don't worry, my grandfather and the others will help The ones you picked together will be picked and sold when the time comes, and they will still be fresh."

Then Feng Dabao said, "It's all right, anyway, we also have a tractor at home, and the tractor will be brought back when the time comes."

Xiang Jin said, "Yes, I need a tractor, because the three of us add up to produce more than 1000 catties of vegetables every day."

Then Uncle Feng asked, "What is the price of this dish?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's definitely not cheaper than the radishes and cabbages in our vegetable market. You know, I still find someone to get these kind of seeds from a long way outside, and there is that big shed, artificially waiting for them." As for the cost, don’t worry, it won’t be too high, and you won’t sell it too cheap, right? Specifically, you can talk to Yan Chen and his grandfather when the time comes.”

The father and son nodded, and Xiang Jin asked again, "Oh, Uncle Feng, Brother Feng, do you know which restaurant in our town usually uses the most vegetables?"

Then Feng Dabao immediately became nervous and anxious, "Why, girl Xiang, do you still want to find clients? Our family is not enough?"

Xiang Jin shook his head and said bluntly, "Not enough, if you can't eat so much by then, won't our vegetables be unsalable? I have to find a guarantee for our vegetables!"

Feng Dabao frowned, "Xiang girl, do you believe me?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's not a matter of disbelief, but this kind of situation is very likely to happen, we have to take it into consideration, we will expand the planting in the future, your family will definitely not be able to eat so much."

Then Feng Dabao wanted to say something, but he was stopped by his father, and he saw Uncle Feng said, "What you said to the girl is reasonable, and it is good to take more factors into consideration. It is a relatively large Xinfu restaurant. They serve a lot of dishes there, and they have restaurants in several nearby towns. The boss is usually polite and kind. You can go there and ask. son."

After hearing this, Xiang Jin and the others nodded, thanked them, and saw that Feng Dabao was still a little depressed, then Xiang Jin suggested to him, "Brother Feng, I think you can go and give the canteen in the town If you take it down, it will be much more profitable than directly distributing it to the vegetable vendors in the vegetable market."

After Feng Dabao heard Xiang Jin's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he touched his shaved washboard head and smiled, "Oh, what you said is true, I Why didn’t I think of it, you scholars are still smart, okay, then I’ll go down to the town, that Xinfu restaurant, or I’ll take you there, I’m familiar with the boss of that week.”

Seeing him take the initiative to mention it, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen laughed, and then heard Yan Chen say, "Later, we will go to your shop to find you at that time, we have something to do right now."

The father and son nodded when they heard this, and Feng Dabao said, "All right, all right, then come and find me when you are free, I will be in the shop all day today."

After the matter was settled, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen got up, greeted their family members and went out.
