Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 58 Totaling New Business

The peanut business was successfully negotiated. A contract was drafted on the spot and signed by both parties. The hundred pounds of peanuts that Bai Taotao brought today were exchanged for two taels of silver.

As for tomorrow's quantity, it is tentatively set at 300 kilograms.

The main reason is that Baitaotao currently has limited shipping manpower, and the peanuts from my parents’ place are not available in large quantities for the time being.

However, after this transaction, Baitaotao became more determined to open a peanut processing workshop.

Originally, she thought about opening her own shop for wholesale and retail.

But instead of doing that, it would be better to talk to the agent directly.

Today, Baitang County uses teahouses as agents.

She only needs to open a processing workshop, buy the raw peanuts from the villagers, process them, and then wholesale them to agents in various places at a uniform price.

This would save her a lot of trouble.

After returning from Baitang County, Baitaotao went to her parents' house again.

However, today I was delayed for a while because of the peanut business. It was already past dinner time for my parents' family, and when Bai Taotao came over, my family was getting ready to work in the fields.

Without seeing her second brother and sister-in-law, Bai Taotao knew that she must have gone to the county to learn business from Boss Zhu.

"Little sister, why are you here at this time? Have you had lunch?" When Xu Daya saw Bai Taotao coming, she had a guess in her heart. Even though she was excited, she didn't forget to care about Bai Taotao.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Taotao bringing a woman in her thirties with her.

But Bai Taotao said yesterday that her family had bought two servants, so she didn't ask much.

Bai Taotao said: "I had it in the county. This is Aunt Jin."

As she spoke, Aunt Jin bowed her knees to the two sisters-in-law Bai Taotao.

This was the first time that Xu Daya and Zhu Xiaomei encountered someone saluting them, and they felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.

Bai Taotao then asked again: "Where are my parents?"

"My parents have gone down to the rice fields to release water. They should be back soon. We are all getting ready to go to the fields."

Bai Taotao nodded, stopped chatting, and went straight to the topic: "Didn't I bring a hundred catties of peanuts back yesterday? They were sold this morning. How many peanuts do we still have in our family now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaomei said happily: "Yesterday, after you brought back a hundred kilograms of peanuts, your sister-in-law and I calculated that your business will have results in the next two days, so last night the whole family gave away all the peanuts dug yesterday. I picked them off and picked them again. The good ones are all bagged for you. They are all here." After saying that, Zhu Xiaomei pointed to the three bags of peanuts under the eaves.

This sack weighs almost two hundred pounds.

Bai Taotao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then after the weighing, you can help me move the bullock cart up."

After finishing speaking, Bai Taotao pointed to the peanuts dried on the ground in the courtyard. These were not very good peanuts, and then said: "After these peanuts are dried, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you can peel them when you have time." Come out, and then pick out all the good peanuts, and then I will process them and sell them."

Regarding Bai Taotao's arrangement, Xu Daya and Zhu Xiaomei did not question it too much. They nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry if you leave these matters to us."

At this moment, Bai Dashan and his wife came back. Seeing this, Xu Daya immediately stepped forward and said happily: "Dad, mother, the peanuts that little sister bought home yesterday have been sold. The peanuts we picked out last night have been sold." , My little sister said I want them all, and there are also peanuts on the ground. My little sister said I want peanuts when the time comes, and we will peel them when we come back tonight."

When Bai Dashan heard this, he knew that his daughter could do business now, but he needed so many peanuts, even peanuts. The success of the business really surprised him, "You need so many peanuts? Can they be sold out?"

Bai Taotao smiled and said: "Dad, I negotiated a cooperation agreement with the shopkeeper of Bafang Tea House in the county today. From now on, I will have to supply their tea house every day, and the quantity required is quite large. This time I plan to buy a piece of wasteland in the village when I go back. Build a processing workshop and specialize in making peanuts for food in the future, so the more peanuts you need, the better. By the way, I brought some of the peanuts I processed yesterday. You can try them and see if I can do this peanut business. stand up?"

Bai Taotao said, and asked Aunt Jin to take out two small packets of peanuts from the basket on the oxcart, and then handed them to the family to taste.

Bai Dashan nodded after tasting the two flavors of peanuts, thinking about what his daughter said just now about opening a processing workshop. The peanuts of this flavor are really good, and they will definitely be able to start a business.

Then Bai Dashan nodded, and then said: "These two flavors of peanuts are really good. They are very suitable for drinking and drinking tea. If you want to open a processing workshop, you will really need a lot of peanuts. I will go to the village to tell the folks about it later. Say hello in advance and ask them to sell all their peanuts to us when everyone’s peanuts are collected in a while. This will save them money and then sell them in the town or county.”

After saying that, Bai Taotao quickly agreed: "Dad and I have come together. This is my plan now. When the time comes, I will ask my sister-in-law and third sister-in-law to help me buy the peanuts in the village. Then I will find a few trustworthy people to help me go to nearby places." Purchased from villages. In short, the more the merrier. After all, when I open the processing workshop, this processing workshop will need peanuts every day."

"What about the price???" Zhu Xiaomei asked.

Bai Taotao replied: "If the folks in the village had selected the peanuts and sent them to us, we would have added half a cent per pound! We purchased them ourselves, and the price remained the same. The fresh peanuts we had just picked were one cent per pound, and the dried peanuts were two cents per pound. Wen, peanuts are five Wen. Remember, you have to pick good ones. Don’t pass them off as good ones. If someone is being naughty, we will no longer accept their peanuts in the future. We have to set the rules in advance."

When Xu Daya heard about Jia Banwen, he immediately expressed his position: "That's not necessary. They are all in the same village. When the time comes, your third sister-in-law and I will come to collect them. It's just a bit of hard work."

Zhu Xiaomei echoed: "That's right, a pound plus half a penny, a sack weighs almost two hundred pounds, just carry it..." Zhu Xiaomei pointed her fingers and calculated and said: "Then it will be an extra hundred penny, we still have It’s better to collect them all by yourself.”

When Bai Taotao heard this, she was very satisfied with the attitude of her sisters-in-law. It could also be seen that the sisters-in-law were also very smart, so she felt more at ease, so she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law three is right, it is true that you can earn a hundred cents just by moving." If that doesn't work, then we'll give them two cents per sack as hard-earned money. When they move here, we'll add two cents per sack to the purchase price as hard-earned money. This will also save the two sisters-in-law from running all over the village. This sack of peanuts is not light. If you fall and sprain, the gain will outweigh the loss.”

Bai Dashan on the side nodded in agreement: "It is reasonable and acceptable to add two cents, so let's follow your little sister's suggestion."

Bai Taotao looked at her father and said, "Dad, when the time comes, you can find someone to go to other villages to buy it. Find a spacious place and let the villagers deliver it themselves. You will also be given two cents for their hard work."
