A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 157 [157] Big business (3000)

When the heads of the two villages were at a stalemate over the cow, the uncle and mother made eye contact and made a major decision.

"Village chief, if it doesn't work, sell the cattle to our family. You all know the situation of my family. The men are not at home, the children go to school, and we are left with eight acres of land. We can also reduce the burden, but the price still needs to be compromised by you. We can’t come up with 100 yuan. Just now, our sister-in-law and I can only add up to 70 yuan. You see, if it works, we will sell it , if it doesn’t work, I’ll take it away!”

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the neighbors around, even the village head of Ximu Village was shocked.

After all, this is 70 yuan. Is 70 yuan a small amount?

Not only is it not a small amount, but it is still a lot of money. Even if they have been in the tofu business, tofu really can’t make much money. The only way for the Zhuo family to save money is to rely on the salaries of the two shopkeepers.

That's right, that's it. There is a soldier in the family and a worker. They have a fixed salary every month. How can they compare with mud legs? Like most families in the village, there can be one or two in each family. Dolls who study are already very good conditions, but in the case of the Zhuo family, six of the nine children go to school, and the remaining three are foreigners, and two are too young, even under such circumstances , and can afford cattle, this can be called an unprecedented big family.

Once the words were spoken, there was absolutely no possibility of regretting them. Even if the eyes of the villagers were mixed with coveting their family, Chen Qiuxia couldn't care less.

And Zhuo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, it should be like this, go her own way, let others say it!

Finally, after bargaining, the other party had no choice but to settle the deal with 70 yuan. When the Zhuo family went to pull the cow, the cow, which was still kicking before, followed the two children very well and returned home. This scene stunned everyone. People, call fate!
The money was piled up with a lot of ten-cent bills. Of course, it was impossible to close the deal in full view. Instead, the sister-in-law went to the village committee to count and write relevant documents in front of the village head and the accountant. , to prove that the cow belonged to the Zhuo family as their private property, and Tao Yi went over to read the documents, and after proving that there was no problem, he asked the sister-in-law to have his fingerprints.

Then the Zhuo family’s buying of cattle was like a gust of wind, blowing all over the village, there were jealousy, envy, resentment, and sneering, but no matter what the expression was, when the door was closed, only the Zhuo family enjoyed the joy of buying cattle up.

The cow cost 70 yuan, and the sister-in-law agreed that the family would spend 35 yuan to raise it together. Now, even if the 35 yuan is deducted, the savings of the two families should be able to reach more than [-] yuan, and there is still a surplus.

The cows were raised at the uncle's house, because the chickens of the two families were all fed at Zhuo Lin's house, and there was no room left, so Tao Yi and his sister-in-law rebuilt a cowshed with great difficulty, and raised them at Chen Qiuxia's house.

After you have a cow, when you push the millstone, you only need to put a blindfold on the cow, and then spur it to grind. This is the first time to experience the tofu made with your help, and the two of you are very happy. .

"Great, I didn't feel back pain for the first time, this cow, really bought the right one."

"Spring plowing will begin in March. When spring plowing begins, the benefits of buying cattle will be even greater. In short, the cattle were not bought in vain."

Zhuo Lin is glad that the sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not ignorant people, and they will not blindly overdraw themselves. They know how to use money to solve their hard work. Maybe the benefits are not visible now. When they are older, they will know that the tiredness of youth will be lost. The root of the problem is that she always wants them to buy a cow just because she knows it.

Now that the cow has arrived at home contentedly, the brothers even said that the decision was good when they returned home, and the auntie wrote a letter to the uncle excitedly, and my father also agreed with it when he came home on the weekend. The whole family supports it. Need to be afraid because of people's hearts.

Of course, the benefits of Niu Niu (named by Zhuo Lin) after coming to Zhuo's house are not only pulling the millstone, but even when they go to the market to set up a stall, the ox cart is pulled, which saves more time than the shelf cart pulled by their shoulders and strength.

If someone wants to take their family's ox cart, the uncle is not afraid of offending them at all.

"One penny for a round trip per person. This is the price only available to the people in our village. All trips in other villages cost a penny."

The price is clearly marked, and it is clearly stated. Even who needs to borrow cattle and what they are doing, they have to ask clearly. They are not worried about others feeding forage. Who knows if they feed them or not, will they treat cattle badly? , but the amount of money must be adjusted up and down according to the strength of the effort.

The villagers who had originally planned to take advantage of it, but hadn't spoken yet, felt a little sour when they heard these words.

"Hey, this cow is bought for business, so it's not wrong for you to spend the money."

"That's right, they all live in the same village. It's a shame to collect money if you smash it. You can afford cattle, why do you even charge this money? Can't we just feed the fodder? Are you still short of rations for cattle? Don't take the money, right?"

The mother laughed when she saw them, and the frequent advice from her aunt, as well as the behavior of her children, made her character no longer so soft and easy to bully.

Hearing this, he pushed back at that time: "Auntie, what you said is not right. Now you don't need money for eating at home, what else do you want? If you go out to buy salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, people will know you. , I won’t count money for you? If you come to buy my tofu, I will not ask for money because you are from the same village? We have already seen that it is much cheaper for the face of the same village. You are not grateful, but you feel that you should not need money. Since you are so disdainful of our little concession, don’t worry, in the future when your family comes to borrow cattle or buy tofu, we will pay the same price as people from other villages.”

"You, what's so great about you? Do you really think that we rarely eat your tofu and take advantage of your family? Let me tell you, if I buy your tofu, I think highly of you, otherwise how can your tofu Sold out? Taking your ox cart is to have a good relationship with you. Now you don’t like this relationship. We don’t want to sit in Sheila. We can dia away when your family doesn’t have an ox cart. Now we I can still go, but if I spend that money for you, I might as well go and buy some biscuits and meat buns for my child!"

A Niang laughed without temper: "You are right, we don't care, as long as you are happy."

The other party watched his words hit the cotton, without any pain, but when he felt a little bit lost in his heart, he knew that he had won the way this time, how could the aunt let go of such a good opportunity.

"Since the younger siblings of the Cai family have said so, let's also put the ugly words up front. The money we bought the cattle did not come from strong winds. Raising cattle also requires energy to take care of them, because there is a cost, and the cost is the capital, so it is impossible. It's free for everyone, but if anyone has an urgent need, such as sending it to the hospital, it's obligatory, and you don't charge money. You have to charge money when you have nothing to do, and your brothers are still clear about it, don't you think so?"

"Let's say ugly things first, and then do things that are straightforward. Only when the two parties have no interests involved can they last for a long time. This is also a method often used by businessmen. Favors belong to favors, and friendship is friendship. How to divide it is in the hearts of our Zhuo family. I understand that everyone sees us in our daily life. If you think we can be close friends, please follow our rules. If you think we can’t be friends, then don’t come here to reason with us, and it’s useless. No one cares about you."

The aunt is not afraid of offending anyone of them, the main reason is that she now has the confidence. Originally, the man is capable and has four sons to support him. She is still a pungent person. Who has she been afraid of?Their family has no roots in this village, and they belong to outsiders. They don't have such intertwined relatives, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Wang Juan did not realize this truth until later.

Because all the offending words were said first, so half a month after buying the cow, no one came to borrow the cow, and their tofu, because they made more and more varieties of tofu, no longer insisted on In this village, I will also go to the town or even the city to deliver goods, including the furniture factory, and I will ask for tens of catties of tofu every now and then.

With cattle, Tao Yi and Zhuo Lin can help even if the adults are not at home. Later, the two younger ones sell tofu at home, and the sister-in-law is running around selling tofu with an ox cart.

It used to be possible to earn up to a dozen or 20 yuan a month, but now that the amount and variety have increased, it has more than doubled, and 50 yuan a month is no longer a problem. I said before that I would not expand my business ,have to?After buying the cow, I couldn't keep a low profile, and accidentally expanded the tofu business.

After it grows bigger, they don't pay much attention to the three melons and jujubes in the village. As long as the villagers don't go too far, they will just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. He Zhuo Lin was not polite at all, and directly grabbed the tofu.

"We won't sell it anymore, so let's go. I've seen someone who took advantage of it, but I haven't seen this method of taking advantage of it. I've already given you a discount, and I gave you so much. You don't say that our tofu tastes bad. Okay, if the taste is not good, why do you come here to buy it? Whose tofu is better, whoever do you go to buy it, our tofu will not be sold to you in the future!"

At a young age, Zhuo Lin had Chen Qiuxia's demeanor. At that time, the old lady's face was so red that her neck was thick, and she couldn't get off the stage. She ignored the steps of the villagers.

"If you say you don't sell it, you don't sell it. Whoever makes it well, whoever is cheap and delicious, you can go to buy it. Ours is not delicious, so don't come here in the future!"
