Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 231 Let the bullets fly for a while (please subscribe)

Li's new house!

After hearing his brother ask about business matters, Li Lan immediately took out a ledger and handed it to Li Yi!
"The income and expenses are recorded above. You can see for yourself. I'll eat first!"

Li Yi was not polite and immediately picked up the account book and read it.

It has been a month and a half since they left. Li Yi saw from the books that the family's income has been declining during this period.

Especially since mid-September, it has almost been cut in half!
Looking at the expenditure, it’s almost the same!
In August, my family spent at least 600 yuan on buying mushrooms every day, sometimes even reaching 700 yuan.

But by October, there was only 10 yuan left. In many cases, even two hundred yuan was not enough!
This means that the Li family can now receive less than a thousand kilograms of mushrooms every day.

"Did you find the problem?" the second sister asked while eating porridge and cakes.

"Well, the situation is not good!" Li Yi said.

"During this period, both the mushroom business and the cold skin business have been greatly affected, and the income has dropped a lot!"

Then, she told the general situation!
When she learned that the mushrooms purchased every day were less than one thousand kilograms, and the Liangpi sold less than two hundred copies a day, Tang Xue immediately said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, our family's business would not be the same." This will happen!"

Li Yi pinched her pretty face, smiled and said, "Don't blame yourself for any mistakes. This matter has nothing to do with you!"

"How can it have nothing to do with me? If you hadn't accompanied me back to my parents' home, how would this have happened!" Tang Xue said stubbornly.

"I told you it has nothing to do with you, why don't you listen?"

Then Li Yi continued: "Whether it is Liangpi business or Shanguo business, this is directly related to the weather. Because the weather is cold, there are naturally fewer people eating Liangpi. The same is true for mushrooms. When the weather gets cold, their growth is affected."

"Is it really?"

"Well, and this is still happening now. If there is frost in the ground in half a month, the mushrooms will be gone!" Li Yi said.

"Then our business will be gone?" Tang Xue asked worriedly.

"Haha, why don't you do it?"

Then Li Yi said with a smile: "In the past few months, we have been investing money in it. Then when the weather gets cold and the fresh mushrooms are gone, it will be our turn to ship dried mushrooms."

"So the colder the weather is, the better it is for us. The harvest season is coming soon!"

Hearing this, Tang Xue and Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

During this period, with the decline in business, both Li Lan and the rest of the family became a little anxious.

But they couldn't contact Li Yi, so they could only worry!
"Xiao Yi, have you found a buyer for these dried mushrooms?" Li Lan asked.

"Not yet, but don't worry, and it's not very cost-effective to ship now!" Li Yi said.

"Then when is the right time to ship the goods?"

“After the solar year, it’s best to do it at the end of the year!”

"It's been so long, doesn't it still take two or three months?"

"Ok!"

Li Yi is quite clear about the price of dry goods this year. The price of dried mushrooms will start to rise in November, but the increase will not be very large until New Year's Day.

But after New Year's Day, the price will suddenly rise significantly, and it will reach its peak before the end of the year.

Therefore, there is no need for him to rush to ship goods now and let the bullets fly for a while!

Just as he was talking, a car bell suddenly sounded outside the door, and then he saw a bicycle riding directly into the yard!

A closer look revealed that it was the third sister Li Na!
After Li Na entered the yard, she glanced left and right, and then immediately parked her bicycle!

Immediately afterwards, he ran directly to Tang Xue and said happily: "Xiaoxue, are you really back?" "When I saw your suitcase when I got home, I guessed that you were back, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Tang Xue was also very happy to see Li Na, her eldest aunt and best friend.

"Sister Na, you're back from your stall, how's the business going?"

Li Na sighed and said: "Fewer and fewer people are eating cold pancakes. Today we only sold more than 200 pieces, which is about half less than before. However, we sold more white-skin pancakes than before. We sold more than 400 pieces today." There’s one!”

"so much?"

"Ok!"

At this time, Li Yi on the side said with a smile: "Normally, the weather has become cold, and fewer and fewer people will eat cold skin!"

"what is it now?"

"The Liangpi business will stop in a few days!" Li Yi said shockingly.

"Stop?"

Hearing this, the three women in the yard were stunned, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Yi.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm serious!" Li Yi said.

"Do you really want to stop? If we stop, we will have no income!" Li Na frowned.

“Selling Liangpi is a seasonal business, and it won’t be easy to do after this season.”

Then Li Yi continued: "In addition, I only did this small business as a temporary idea to marry Xiaoxue. It is not a long-term plan!"

"Then what else can we do if we don't sell Liangpi?"

"Haha, I've already thought about what I'm going to do. I'll tell you later!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Li Na still believed in her younger brother's abilities and immediately said: "That's okay, I'll listen to you!"

Li Yi looked at his watch, it was almost two o'clock!

At that moment, he said to Tang Xue and his two sisters: "I plan to invite Dongzi, Qiangzi and Shitou to my house for a meal in the evening, and talk about the next arrangements. You stay here now, I will go back to do it." The meal is gone!”

"Can you help me?" the third sister asked immediately.

"no need!"

Then Li Yi asked again: "By the way, is there any meat at home?"

"The fresh meat is gone, but there is still a lot of marinated pork in the jar!" said the third sister.

"understood!"

After saying that, Li Yi left the new house on his bicycle!
Back at the old house, Li Yi first took the luggage in the house to the west room!
At the same time, I sorted out the gifts brought back from Chang'an City, and then started preparing to cook!
First, I took a look at the ingredients at home, half a jar of marinated pork with lard residue, a small amount of potatoes, twenty or thirty pieces of Chinese cabbage, two large baskets of large radishes, and more than a dozen gourds!

As soon as he saw these things, Li Yi knew that the village was dividing the food.

Every year, the village will plant some radishes, cabbages, gourds, etc. near Xihegou. At the end of September or early October, the vegetables will be distributed to the members, and the members will rely on these vegetables to sustain themselves throughout the winter.

Li Yi calculated that there were six people in the family, plus Dongzi, Shitou, and six or seven others. There would be at least twelve or thirteen people coming to the house for dinner in the evening.

With so many people, it’s definitely not appropriate to eat stir-fried vegetables.

Besides, there aren’t that many vegetables to stir-fry!

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yi finally decided to make a pot of stew and steam a basket of steamed pancakes!
Just do it when you think of it, and then Li Yi takes action!
