Chapter 40 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (40)
However, there are also vendors with quick heads.
For example, a young couple from the countryside came to sell duck eggs. When Xu Yin came to set up a stall on the third day, they got close to each other and asked if they could wholesale some dried seafood and mountain products from her.
Xu Yin: “…”
This was beyond her expectation.
“You want to buy from me? Do you want to see how fast I sell? But I asked someone to bring the goods from my hometown in Pingyang. Including the consignment fee, I can’t actually make much money.”
“Hey! Whoever sets up a stall here doesn’t earn hard-earned money? Isn’t it just to sell well? If you make small profits but quick turnover, if you accumulate them over time, you will earn more.”
The young couple said it quite honestly.
Xu Yin took a look at the fresh duck eggs and salted eggs on their stall. They were indeed not as popular as her mountain products and dried seafood.
There are so many duck farmers in Tongcheng that duck eggs have become a slow-selling commodity. In comparison, her dried seafood and mountain products are indeed better sold.
So he thought about it and replied: "Okay, I'll ask my fellow villager to mail some more later."
“Then let’s wait for the eldest sister. Here, this is my home address. I welcome the eldest sister to visit my home.”
In this way, Xu Yin set up a street stall for four days and gained a long-term customer.
Houhai Village’s dried seafood and Da’ao Village’s mountain products have more sales channels, which is a good thing!
When people are happy, they like to consume.
She closed the stall and went to the local agricultural and sideline products wholesale market to indulge her shopping addiction. She bought whatever was new, such as chicken, cured duck and sheep hind legs, wool and cashmere filters.
At the big market two days later, I saw fresh mutton and bought it for free.
While her sister-in-law was picking fish at the stall opposite, Doudou also squatted aside to watch the fish, and quickly asked the mutton stall owner to buy fifty kilograms.
Lamb legs, lamb scorpions, and lamb short ribs are put into the system warehouse in bamboo baskets.
I also went to a cooked food stall and weighed two kilograms of cooked mutton. I could cut it up and eat it when I got home.
I saw a lamb seller, and there was a lactating ewe tied nearby. The price was quite reasonable, so I took it back and boiled the goat's milk for my two nephews.
The little nephew is five months old, and Mrs. Xu’s milk supply is not enough, so she has started to feed him rice cereal.
The general environment is like this now. Breast milk is not enough to make rice cereal. How can you have money to buy milk powder for your children?
Xu Yin had been thinking about getting some milk powder for her nephew before, but it was hard to buy milk powder these days. If you had money but no money, you could only get one or two cans occasionally. Now that she saw the dairy goat, the sustainability issue was solved.
Not only the younger nephew, but also the older nephew also needs more calcium, so having a dairy goat at home is a great thing right now.
In addition, Xu Yin also bought some vegetable seeds that were not available in Pingyang County and took them back to her parents to try to see if they could be planted. If they could be planted, there would be more seasonal vegetables on the table.
Looking at the dazzling array of varieties in the market, Xu Yin and Mrs. Xu talked about the seafood business:
"Sister-in-law, I don't see anyone selling dried seafood here. I asked a vendor casually, and he asked me if I had any purchasing channels. If so, I could provide him with as much as he wanted. I was thinking that my sister-in-law's natal family was exposed. What are you doing with all the kelp, seaweed, and small seafood? When I get home, I will go to Houhai Village to collect the goods and send them over. You can take them to this vendor. Well, I have the address written down on the paper, and I have roughly discussed the price with him. You Just settle with him according to the list I made."
Houhai Village’s dried seafood cannot be sold at a high price in the county. It is better to transport it to Tongcheng. The cooperation partner is the young couple.
Sister-in-law Xu was very puzzled: "Is that thing worth sending all the way to sell? It won't cost much, so don't lose money."
“Try it, what if you make a profit?”
Sister-in-law Xu has trusted her sister-in-law very much since her caesarean section. She said try it, then try it.
At worst, you have to pay the freight yourself. As for dried seafood, every household in Houhai Village has that stuff. You can go to the sea to pick it up and dry it. It doesn’t cost anything, and it’s very cheap to take out.
Xu Zhinian went home for dinner and saw an extra sheep in the yard. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why did I buy a live sheep? Didn't I buy mutton? Should I kill it now?"
He thought he was killing the meat eaters.
Doudou ran to him and raised his head and retorted seriously and seriously: "Dad, this sheep does not eat meat, but drinks nene. From now on, my brother and I will drink goat milk every day, so that we will grow taller." , grow strong and strong.”
"Yes, my little sister bought it for Doudou and Dingding. She said that the two children lack nutrition and drinking some goat's milk is good for their health. This sheep just gave birth to a lamb not long ago. It can drink for at least eight or nine months. It will not produce milk anymore. , and then kill them to eat." Sister-in-law Xu explained to him.
Xu Zhinian was a little moved: "My little sister bought it? Does she have enough money?"
"She refused to take it when I gave it to her. She said she bought it for her two nephews." Sister-in-law Xu pulled the man aside and whispered, "I have thought about it. When the shop opens, I will leave half of the money I earn from each piece of clothing for my little sister. She If you don’t accept it, save it first and use it as a dowry for her when she gets married.”
Xu Zhinian naturally had no objection: "I listen to you."
The Xu family has an extra sheep, and the families of the employees in the same building are envious.
Dairy products are a luxury item these days. It’s okay to buy a can of milk powder once in a while, but supplying it every day is not affordable for ordinary people.
The price of a lactating dairy goat is not cheap, but the profit is not small. It can express one or two liters of milk every day, and it has just given birth to a lamb, and there will be a supply of goat milk for the next eight or nine months. It is really profitable.
Even if they were asked to make a special trip to buy a dairy goat for their son, they would be reluctant to part with it.
So, when they heard that Xu Zhinian’s sister had specially bought the Xu family’s sheep for their two nephews in the hope that they would grow taller and stronger, they were so jealous that they almost went crazy.
How come they don’t have such a good life and have such a good sister-in-law?
Look at the sisters-in-law in each of their families. They either team up with their mother-in-law to bully them, or they give them eye drops in front of men. It’s so annoying!
When Sister-in-law Xu’s tailor shop opened, and the fashionable dresses designed by Xu Yin were hung in the shop, which were able to lead the new trend of Chinese clothing, the sour feelings in the hearts of the family members became even more intense.
They are both sisters-in-law, so why are they so different? Someone else's sister-in-law is nice and can make money, but my own sister-in-law... don't mention it.
“Sister-in-law, is it really your sister-in-law who came up with these clothes styles? She is so capable! By the way, how old is she this year? Is she eighteen?”
Those who have younger brothers or cousins of the right age at home should find opportunities to ask Mrs. Xu about Xu Yin’s personal situation.
The visitor is a guest. Sister-in-law Xu greeted her and said with a smile: "Yin Yin is not in a hurry. She has recommended her to the University of Washington. She will go to the imperial capital to study at the beginning of September. There is no need to worry about personal issues."
Of course there is no rush. What good conditions can you get to find a partner here?
There are so many talented students at Teito University, and my sister-in-law is good-looking and easy to get along with. Are you afraid that you won’t find anyone you like?
As soon as these words came out, these family members couldn't help but start to feel bitter.
It doesn’t matter if a person is capable, how can he be so good at learning?
These days, high school graduates are very popular, not to mention very few college students.
Thinking about my younger brother who doesn’t have much potential in the family, the one with the best academic qualifications has just graduated from junior high school, I suddenly feel ashamed. That's all, such a good sister-in-law is not worthy of her.
