Reborn in '77, I have a job panel!

Qian Cheng asked about today's situation: "Mom, how much did you collect today?"

Hou Yufen took out the bill and handed it to Qian Cheng, then muttered, "We collected quite a lot today. There are more than 30 catties of prickly ash shoots alone, more than 20 catties of dandelion, more than 10 catties of bracken, and more than 10 catties of wild garlic. In total, it's more than 80 catties."

Qian Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the bill. A total of eighty-three catties had been collected today: "Eighty-three catties? That much?"

"That's right. Everyone went up the mountain today and dug a lot. Mingxi was a great help. She keeps good records and is quick at calculating accounts."

Qian Cheng nodded, feeling more at ease.

He's not afraid of buying too much, he's just afraid of not having enough to sell.

After deducting the 30 jin needed from the mining area every day, only 53 jin are left out of the original 83 jin. Then, after deducting the 10 jin of each item that needs to be supplied to Qingping Restaurant every day, totaling 40 jin, only 13 jin are left.

The remaining thirteen pounds will be just enough for him to go to the county town again tomorrow to find new customers.

Qian Cheng sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), opened the account book, and began to calculate the accounts.

Life is getting better and better.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Qian Cheng got up.

He first had to pick out the 83 jin of wild vegetables with his mother and his older brother, who was arriving later.

The people who collected the goods yesterday were exhausted, so after bringing them back, we left them there temporarily, covering them with sacks.

Qian Cheng lifted the lid and looked inside; the wild vegetables were still very fresh.

He picked out ten pounds of the best of each and put them into a basket.

These forty jin are for Qingping Restaurant.

Of the remaining forty-three jin, thirty jin were left for the mine, and the remaining thirteen jin were put into another basket by Qian Cheng to take with him today. After packing, Qian Cheng covered both baskets with cloth.

Money came right after the installation was completed.

"Chengzi, what's the plan for today?"

Qian Cheng pointed to the basket containing thirty jin of wild vegetables that had already been sorted and packed for the mine: "Brother, you take it to the mine, I'll take it to the county."

Qian Lu nodded, picked up the basket in one go, and then carried it on his back.

Although Qian Lu was not as quick-witted and clever as Qian Cheng, he had been working in the mines for many years and had plenty of strength. Carrying thirty pounds of wild vegetables was no problem for him at all.

Qian Cheng was a little annoyed. The two baskets weighed a total of 53 jin (25.5 kg), and he was panting heavily. Fortunately, his mother would help him carry them to town, which made Qian Cheng less tired.

"Chengzi, that's a bit heavy, over fifty pounds. How about we switch? You can deliver it to the mine."

Qian Lu was somewhat worried.

Qian Cheng decisively waved his hand and refused.

We've only just started working with Qingping Hotel, so it would be a bit unreasonable to change people on the very first day.

Another point is that my older brother rarely goes to the county town, as he is unfamiliar with the area. Only after he takes me there a few times can I hand over the work to him.

Qian Lu watched as Qian Cheng huffed and puffed as he carried the load on his back, and said with some concern, "Brother, be careful on the road, and take a break when you're tired."

Qian Cheng responded and left with his load.

Qian Lu also carried a basket on his back and headed towards the mine.

When they arrived in town, they caught the bus to the county. Qian Cheng told his mother to go back first, then got on the bus himself, placing his basket at his feet to protect it from being squeezed.

The bus was packed with people. An old man sitting next to Qian Cheng noticed his two full baskets and asked curiously, "Young man, what are you carrying?"

"Wild vegetables, for the county restaurant."

The old man sighed with some emotion, "These days, even wild vegetables are valuable."

Qian Cheng smiled but didn't say anything more.

The car swayed and bumped as it drove towards the county.

Upon arriving in the county, Qian Cheng headed straight for Qingping Restaurant.

Entering through the back door, Chef Wei was busy at work. Seeing Qian Cheng come in, he greeted him, "Oh, so punctual! How much are you delivering today?"

Qian Cheng put down the basket: "Forty catties, ten catties each of tender shoots of prickly ash, dandelion, bracken, and wild garlic."

Old Wei walked over, took a look, and nodded: "Good quality, weigh it."

Qian Cheng poured the wild vegetables into a basket and weighed them: "Ten catties each of the four kinds of tender shoots of wild aralia."

Old Wei had someone check the abacus: "Ten catties of tender shoots, four yuan and fifty cents."

Ten catties of dandelion, three pieces.

Ten catties of bracken fern, three pieces.

Ten pounds of small garlic cloves, two yuan and forty cents.

That's twelve dollars and ninety cents in total.

Old Wei had someone count out twelve yuan and ninety cents and handed it to Qian Cheng.

Qian Cheng took the money and put it away.

Old Wei handed the money to Qian Cheng and relayed Cui Minggui's instructions: "Boss Cui said that your wild vegetables are good, so he will deliver them every day from now on. Forty catties may not be enough. If there is any left over, you can deliver more."

Qian Cheng nodded: "Okay, Master Wei, I've got it."

After leaving Qingping Restaurant, Qian Cheng went to several other restaurants.

Although it wasn't as upscale as Qingping Hotel, every little bit helps, so he went to each one again.

Some bought it, some said they'd think about it some more, and some thought it was too expensive.

After running around, Qian Cheng quoted a price that was twice as high as Qingping Restaurant's three times the price. After all, Qingping Restaurant had a large quantity of food, so it could naturally be cheaper. These small restaurants, on the other hand, didn't order much, so they could charge a little more. Most of the restaurant owners were willing to accept the price after seeing the quality of the wild vegetables that Qian Cheng brought.

He then delivered another ten or so kilograms, earning four yuan and seventy-two cents.

He didn't finish his work until the sun was high in the sky.

Qian Cheng was exhausted. After selling both baskets, he found a small restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodles, sat down and ate slowly to fill his stomach first.

As he ate his noodles, Qian Cheng was making plans in his mind.

At Qingping Restaurant, they collect 40 jin (20 kg) a day and charge nearly 13 yuan. In addition, they can collect an extra 4 or 5 yuan from supplying other small restaurants every day, so the total is 18 yuan a day.

The mine delivered thirty jin today, which cost a total of five yuan.

In total, the 83 jin sold in one day brought in a total of 23 yuan.

I collected 83 catties of wild vegetables yesterday, which cost a total of 9.5 yuan.

Including the round-trip bus fare to the county, it cost one yuan.

After deducting costs, Qian Cheng can make a net profit of 12.5 yuan per day.

After a month, it adds up to more than 360 yuan.

This is pure profit!

This is just business with a few restaurants and mines in the county. If he could get the canteens in government units and several factories in the county on board, Qian Cheng's daily net profit could at least double.

Of course, this is on the premise that Qian Cheng has enough wild vegetables to collect.

Fortunately, Laowozi Village is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, so there is no shortage of wild vegetables in the short term.

Qian Cheng picked up two empty baskets and, instead of rushing back, went to Xinhua Bookstore.

Qian Cheng is preparing to buy some review materials.

Zhang Mingxi has reviewed most of his review materials and is no longer gaining much experience.

The Xinhua Bookstore is located on the main street of the county town. It's a two-story building with a small storefront, but it has a lot of books inside.
