My cute husband is a little sweet

Chapter 103 Collecting Wine Bottles and Selling Popsicles

Gu Xiaolan and the others went to someone else's house to borrow two tricycles, plus Gu Xiaolan's "special car", a total of three tricycles, a few children pulled two boxes of ice cream, and ran to the countryside in a mighty way.

Gu Xiaolan's "special car" was relatively small, so it was used to carry a few children, and two boxes of popsicles by the way. Take Wang Mingming and his elder sister Wang Xiaohui back.After all, the wine bottles are quite heavy together, Gu Xiaolan and the others are too young to ride the bike, and there is a danger of overturning.

Anyone who has ridden a tricycle knows that if you ride a tricycle for the first time, no matter how you sit on it, you will feel that the bike is crooked.So Wang Ning and Wang Xiaohui didn't dare to let those little radish heads ride such a heavy bike. If something happened to these children, the family would probably peel their skins.

Gu Xiaolan and the others first went to a village that was closer to home. At first, the children were thin-skinned and did not dare to yell when they entered the village. Later, it was Gu Xiaolan who lured them with ice cream, so they let go of their voices and yelled. : "Collect beer bottles, sell popsicles—"

It is not uncommon to see peddlers walking around the streets, but this is the first time to see a few children coming to the village to do business.A few children from the village even followed the tricycle with a smile on their faces and learned how to yell.Among them, a middle-aged woman who was enjoying the shade under a big tree heard the yelling, and asked loudly as if joining in the fun: "How much do you give for a beer bottle?"

When Gu Xiaolan saw that there was a business coming, he quickly approached with a smile and said, "Auntie, a beer bottle costs twenty-five cents."

The middle-aged woman couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw that she was a child, and said, "It's too cheap. Last time someone came to collect beer bottles and gave them [-] cents apiece. Why did you only pay [-] cents?"

When Gu Xiaolan heard this woman's words, his eyes sank, knowing that this woman wanted to deceive her because of her young age.But she kept her face calm and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't come to fool me just because I was young, I will go and inquire about it. The county's purchasing station only charges [-] cents a piece. We buy it in hot weather. Going to the countryside to collect must make some money. You see, some of us children rely on this to make some money for tuition. And twenty-five cents is not too little. You can tell that they have sold beer bottles. Those people come here You must know better than us what price to charge, if you think our price is too low, then keep it and sell it to the next person.”

Gu Xiaolan played the sympathy card with this woman at the beginning, and then said the following words, neither making people look down on them, nor making people think that they are easy to bully because they are small, don't you think the money given is low? Just keep the bottle at home and see if you can get a higher price if you keep it until the end.If you are not afraid of trouble, you can go to the county by yourself, the purchase station there is very expensive.

But these days, apart from family treats and the like, no one would spend [-] yuan to buy a bottle of beer and drink it back. With that money, it would be enough to buy a bottle of soju. Beer is not as good as soju.The most important thing is that soju is more durable than beer. A bottle of beer is not enough for a meal, but a bottle of soju can be drunk for several days. In this way, a fool with the same price will know which kind of wine to buy.Therefore, Gu Xiaolan expected that there would not be more than five beer bottles in these people's homes, and just a few beer bottles were not worth sending to the purchasing station in the county.

When the middle-aged woman heard what Gu Xiaolan said, she knew that there was no advantage to take advantage of, and she was not embarrassed, so she bargained with Gu Xiaolan with a smile on her face: "Then give my aunt a penny more, and I'll sell it to you for twenty-six cents." How are you?"

Gu Xiaolan pouted and looked at her: "Auntie, it's not easy for us to collect the wine bottles under the sun. Besides, the price we give is already considered very high. If you ask, how many of us can have it?" The price is high? And we only accept one summer vacation, and we won’t come when school starts.” So, auntie, if you want to sell more money, hurry up, and there will be no such shop after passing this village.

The woman looked at Gu Xiaolan with a determined face, but she didn't let go. Looking at the expressions of the children behind and the two older children, she knew that these people were all listening to Gu Xiaolan, so she nodded and said, "Okay." Okay, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go home and get the bottle."

The woman came back after leaving for a while, holding three beer bottles in her hand, Gu Xiaolan asked Song Ke to take the beer bottles, ordered seventy-five cents and handed it to the woman with a smile: "Auntie, You count, three beer bottles, twenty-five cents, a total of seventy-five cents."

The woman looked at Gu Xiaolan's money, three twenty-cent bills, one ten-cent coin and one five-cent coin, exactly seventy-five cents, there was no mistake.

So he smiled and said: "You little girl is not very big but you are a ghost, you are good at arithmetic, you must have good grades in school, right?"

Seeing that the business was completed, Gu Xiaolan was in a good mood, so he held his small chest high and said frightenedly, "I'm not boasting. Every time I take an exam, I get in the top ten of the whole grade, and I get a hundred in mathematics!"

After hearing Gu Xiaolan's words, the smile on his face became more real: "Yo, you're really smart."

So Gu Xiaolan scratched his head modestly, pursed his lips and smiled and stopped talking, pretending to be shy.

Later, Wang Ning and Wang Xiaohui, who originally wanted to ask Gu Xiaolan for financial power, saw that Gu Xiaolan gave the money to someone without even thinking about it.The little girl is smart, so they better stop thinking about it, and just pull things honestly, anyway, they will have a share of the wine bottle if they sell it.

There is the first person who eats crabs, the second person and the third person. Everyone brings the beer bottles at home to exchange money with Gu Xiaolan, and the generous adults will use the money exchanged for beer bottles to buy popsicles for their children.Gu Xiaolan smiled and recommended from the side: "If you have a small family, you can buy this kind of double popsicles. If you break it apart, you can get one piece per person. You can still eat more. It costs ten cents. If you have a lot of children, you can buy this kind of popsicles." There are several in a bag, and a bag only costs [-] cents, adults and children can taste the sweetness. There is also this mung bean popsicle that costs [-] cents, and the creamy one costs [-] cents..."

After walking through three villages in this way, the two tricycles were also full, with a full 150 beer bottles, plus the two boxes of popsicles and ice cream that were sold, I made a lot of money this day, and it can be said that I returned with a full reward.

When I went back that day, Gu Xiaolan took advantage of the fact that the family was going to deliver food to the county before it was dark, so he stuffed those beer bottles into the family's delivery truck, intending to take them to the county to sell for money.She wants to take advantage of the freshness of the children at this moment, let them see some money, and then continue to maintain enthusiasm and go to the countryside with her to collect wine bottles.
