Chapter 46 Orders
"I have a small business here. I need [-] steamed buns and [-] white flour steamed buns. I'm in a hurry. I have to deliver them tomorrow morning."

Standing in front of Fat Miao'er and the others, Chen Dali said out of breath, "You guys are considering whether to take it or not?"

Chen Dali looked at several people, waiting for their reply.

Two hundred buns?

Forty white flour steamed buns?
What a great handwriting!
They only sell about [-] wild vegetable dumplings every day, which is simply a windfall.

"Gudong!" Li Xiaodao swallowed subconsciously, feeling agitated.

He tried his best to control his emotions, and asked cautiously, "Brother Chen, how much money can we make by doing these things?"

The brothers settle accounts clearly, since it is a sale, the price must be negotiated in advance.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After hearing Li Xiaodao's words, Chen Dali laughed loudly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know your concerns, don't worry, I can't treat you badly, this is a small amount of money for others."

others?

Li Xiaodao noticed Chen Dali's tone of voice, and immediately asked: "Brother Chen, could it be that these steamed buns and steamed buns were ordered by customers?"

"Of course, who else but them!" Chen Dali nodded without any surprise.

"Accept! Let's accept!" Li Xiaodao responded quickly, with a hint of haste in his expression.

He has been in the dock for so long, so he knows something about it.

When the cargo ship docks, it will purchase a batch of supplies as supplies.

Among them, food is not essential.

Especially steamed steamed buns, steamed buns, and corn cakes, which are durable and easy to store.

Solved the problem of inconvenient fire on board.

"Thank you Brother Chen!" Li Xiaodao solemnly thanked Chen Dali.

He knew in his heart that the merchants didn't know them, so how could they find them.

It was clear that it was Chen Dali who saw how pitiful they were and helped lead the thread.

"Okay, don't say thank you." Chen Dali waved his hand.

He smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, you can make the steamed buns and steamed buns bigger. It's affordable. It doesn't matter if you earn less, and the water will flow forever."

"Don't lose my face!" Chen Dali emphasized.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, we are all real people, and we won't do such silly things."

Li Xiaodao patted his chest, trying his best to guarantee it.

"En!" Chen Dali nodded, and urged: "Go back quickly, start work early, finish early, and don't waste time."

This is the most important point, Chen Dali repeatedly emphasized, and after admonishing him several times, Chen Dali left with confidence.

Just after taking two steps, I suddenly remembered something, turned my head and asked, "Do you have enough money in your hands? I have fifty cash here..."

Chen Dali took out his purse while talking. According to his thinking, making steamed buns and steamed buns requires a lot of capital, and the wild vegetable dumpling business of several people has just started, so there may not be so much capital.

"No, no, we still have a hundred or so documents left, which is enough for now." Li Xiaodao and others politely declined.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they each left.

in town.

Fat Miao'er and the others came to the food store, it was the same store, the same store owner.

"Where's the lady boss?"

Fat Miao'er looked around, but did not see the hostess.

"Going back to my mother's house."

The boss stood up and greeted, "Do you want cornmeal?"

A few of them come here to buy cornmeal every three days, and they get acquainted with each other. Seeing that they are repeat customers, the shop owner also gives a lot of discounts.

"Yes, and corn flour." Fat Miao'er nodded.

"I want more this time, probably..." She looked at Liu Ye'er.

Liu Ye'er did the math, steamed a pound of cornmeal to steam solid steamed buns, the normal size can steam eight, and they make bigger ones, counting as seven, two hundred is...

"First come 35 catties of cornmeal!" The rest can be made into wild vegetable dumplings.

"Another five catties of white flour."

Steam eight steamed buns per catty, exactly forty steamed buns per catty.

"So many?" The store owner was taken aback.

Every time these kids came here, they bought ten catties and ten catties, but today they bought forty catties at once, which surprised him.

However, he didn't have the habit of inquiring about other people's family affairs, so he immediately turned around and weighed 35 catties of corn flour, five catties of white flour, and gave away half a catty of corn flour.

Then he took out his abacus and did the math: "A total of 170 Wen."

Fat Miao'er nodded, took out the purse from the cuff, poured out the copper plate and counted, only 160 pennies were left.

Fortunately, 33 wild vegetable dumplings were sold, and they got 33 renminbi. The two of them got together and gave 170 renminbi to the shop owner.

"Little guest officer, come again next time." A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Fat Miao'er waved his hand and said goodbye, and they went to the butcher's shop to buy a five-cent big bone for soup.

Immediately afterwards, I bought a three-layer drawer, sitting on the pot, I can steam dozens of them at once, which is simple, convenient and trouble-free.

Fat Miao'er paid the money and left the grocery store listlessly.

With his little head drooping, he looked at the fifteen copper coins left in his hand, dejectedly.

"We're out of money!"

After working hard for a month, I returned to before liberation.

"Don't worry." Liu Ye'er stretched out her hand and gently stroked Fat Miao'er's head.

"When we finish this business, we will have money, more than before."

"That's true!"

Fat Miao'er couldn't help but start to look forward to, how much money can the rich merchants give them?

Of course, the more the merrier!
"Let's go, go home!" Fat Miao'er started to run.

Today their task is very heavy, [-] buns, [-] steamed buns, need to be busy for a long time, even stay up late.

But... the few people looked at each other, and they were full of strength when they lived with money.

on the trail.

Li Xiaodao was carrying cornmeal, compass was carrying white flour, Wei Shu was carrying bucket and pannier, and they were talking about tonight's arrangements as they walked.

"If you want to steam white flour steamed buns, you have to leaven the noodles first. When you go back later, Ye'er will borrow a piece of dough from Aunt Wu. Let's leaven the noodles first."

"When it's time to leaven the noodles, let's make steamed buns."

"And we can't throw away our wild vegetable dumpling and big bone soup."

That is a fixed business, which must be firmly grasped in the hands.

"By the way, firewood..."

"I'll use Aunt Wu's firewood first, and return my corn stalks to her when they come down."

"That's fine too."

"It's just always troublesome people, I'm a little embarrassed."

The voices of several people sounded intermittently.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, elongating their figures infinitely.

The breeze blew gently, bringing up the black broken hair, and time seemed to freeze, condensing into a warm picture.

Suddenly, Fat Miao'er's footsteps stopped, his ears moved, and there was a rustling sound behind him.

She turned her head abruptly, fixed her eyes on the grass by the side of the road, and said in a low voice, "Come out!"
