The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 46 The joy of counting money

Seeing that it was already noon, the number of people in the market was reduced by half. Brother Shiliu and Li Rongzong, one carrying an empty basket and the other carrying an empty wooden frame, walked briskly towards the entrance of the market.

Passing by the bun shop in Jikou, Pomegranate turned on her toes and approached, "Uncle! Please give me twenty meat buns!"

When the bun stall owner heard that it was a big business, he smiled from ear to ear. He took out the parchment paper, opened the steamer, wrapped twenty meat buns in two batches, and handed them to the pomegranate.

A big meat bun costs two cents a piece, and twenty big meat buns are equivalent to forty cents. Li Rongzong couldn't help but show his teeth and whispered to Pomegranate that it was too expensive. Forty cents can buy two kilograms of meat.

Pomegranate just smiled: "We have all worked hard today, and my stomach is growling with hunger, so I'll treat myself to it!"

After saying that, he gave two to Li Rongzong, and he also took one and bit off half of it in one bite.

The brother and sister went home while eating delicious big meat buns.

As soon as they left the market, they met Chen Qicai squatting on the roadside.

When he saw the two brothers and sisters coming over, he stood up and walked closer, "Brother Brown! Girl Pomegranate!"

Shiliu still remembered that day when she grabbed kudzu and pushed her second brother to the ground. When she saw Chen Qicai smiling, she didn't want to talk to him and just turned her face to one side.

Li Rongzong, on the other hand, saw that he was from the same village and couldn't help but ignore him, so he responded.

Chen Qicai didn't care whether the pomegranate answered or not, as long as someone answered, he caught up and walked forward with the two brothers and sisters, saying: "The orange fructose you sell at the market is made of kudzu powder, right? Let me tell you, no one is buying this kudzu root powder at the market. Your family uses kudzu root to make powder but can’t sell it. It turns out you have another business!”

He had been paying attention to the pomegranate family's making of kudzu root powder, and naturally knew about it. He also followed the trend and asked his sister to dig up kudzu root and send it to make powder. He thought it would be collected by Datong Warehouse, but unfortunately the person who sent it didn't want it at all.

He couldn't help but wonder that the pomegranate family couldn't make kudzu powder for fun, right? He kept staring at their home.

No, today I saw four members of their family leaving the village early in the morning, heading towards Huangkou Town and towards Dafengji.

He followed the Pomegranate brothers and sisters all the way and saw them selling fructose with his own eyes! Good guy, a pack of candy sells for thirty cents! There are really many people buying it!

The Pomegranate family is about to get rich!

He thought he might be able to make the sugar from kudzu powder and oranges, so he waited at Jikou specifically to test the taste of the brothers and sisters to see if anything else had been added besides these two.

Chen Qicai was watching from the sidelines, and Pomegranate had discovered it a long time ago. She was mentally prepared for it. Since their family wanted to sell this candy, how could they not be seen by the villagers?

And since their family has been making so much kudzu powder recently, you don’t have to think twice to know that the sugar must be related to kudzu powder.

To be honest, she is not afraid of others following her example.

If you want to learn, just learn, don't do anything sabotage and use evil tricks. Everyone makes money based on their skills, no problem!
When Li Rongzong heard Chen Qicai mention two raw materials at once, he felt anxious and looked at the pomegranate.

Shiliu listened to Chen Qicai's test, and she smiled and said: "How much kudzu powder did Uncle Cripple make? No one is buying it at the market, so you can sell it to my family! We are all from the same village, and my family will not cheat you at this price. of."

Chen Qicai naturally never thought that the pomegranate brothers and sisters could be so stupid as to tell him how to make orange fructose, but when he heard that Pomegranate wanted to buy his kudzu powder, he also snorted, "You sell fructose for thirty cents, how much do you plan to pay for kudzu root?" pink?"

I have really carefully calculated the price of pomegranates, and it is really not a lie. "Selling kudzu root costs one penny and two kilograms, and one hundred kilograms is fifty kilograms. And one hundred kilograms of kudzu root can make almost ten kilograms of kudzu root powder. After all, With all the effort, our family can pay up to eight cents per catty for this kudzu powder."

When Chen Qicai heard that it was eight cents, he curled his lips and thought: You sell candy for thirty cents per pack, how much is that pack? How many thumb-sized pieces of sugar can be made from a pound of kudzu powder? Even though her fellow villagers don’t cheat on others, this little girl has such a dark heart!

"Then I won't sell it to you!" He sighed, turned around and went back to collect it. There was someone selling oranges at the market. He saw it first, but there were still some who hadn't sold out yet. He stepped forward and asked the price, "What? Five cents per catty?"

He had never bought oranges before, so he didn't know they were so expensive!

Chen Qicai turned around and left. He should go to the mountains to find wild orange trees! It costs nothing, no money!
-

The Shiliu brothers and sisters walked quickly until they reached the stone bridge at the entrance of their village, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

You have money hidden on your body, and you can rest assured only when you are on familiar territory.

Sitting down on the spot, the brother and sister immediately looked to the right.

We agreed to get up early, and those who come back first will wait here.

The two waited for nearly half an hour. First, Li Rongzhang, who was sent by the worried Song family to see the situation, met. The three of them met and chatted for a long time. Li Rongzhang was fed a meat bun. His mouth was full of oil after eating, and then he met Li Jihe and his son who were walking in a hurry.

The two of them were walking so fast that they thought they were being chased by dogs behind them.

It wasn't until they saw the three pomegranates under the stone bridge that the father and son slowed down a bit and gasped for air.

When the two sides met, Li Rongyu was about to report their success to his eldest brother and Shiliu. Shiliu hurriedly said: "Let's go home first. Mom is impatient. Let's talk about it after we get home!"

"Hey! Let's talk about it when we get home!"

In the new house, an empty room with no furniture at all, a family of seven sat on straw mats, all seven pairs of eyes staring directly at the basket in the middle, which contained seemingly countless copper coins.

"Everything for sale today is here!" Li Jihe said.

"How much does this cost!" Ms. Song opened her mouth.

"You'll know after you count them!" Li Jihe said.

"number!"

The family immediately started counting and tying them up one by one.

In fact, there is no need to count them one by one. Pomegranate knows that all their candies are sold out today, and she can figure it out with just a mental calculation.

But counting money is a happy thing, and counting money together as a family is even more happy!
After a long while, the copper plates in the basket were all strung into bunches. The pomegranates started to string the ten bunches into big bunches, and then they counted the big bunches under the eyes of the family, "One bunch, two bunches, three bunches. Ten." Sixteen strings."

"Count it all! A total of six coins and seventy-seven cents!"

Forty big bags and thirty-five small bags. When all are sold out, the price should be seven cents and twenty-five cents per penny.

But Pomegranate spent 40 yuan to buy meat buns. In addition, Pomegranate and the others had three small packs that were divided into half packs and sold in half packs. Li Jihe and the others also had five packs sold in this way, so they sold less. Got eight cents.

Listening to the number reported by Pomegranate, the whole family took a deep breath.

"Mom! How much did you pay for selling a condom in one day?"

This is too unthinkable!
But it was indeed the case. After confirming that all this was not a dream, the whole family cheered happily, and then ate the cold meat buns. They all felt that this was the most delicious thing in the world!
