Chapter 13

Lu Yumin knew that he was starting to lower the price, so she said clearly: "Boss Zheng, this dried bayberry is very complicated to make, and my fifth aunt only made some of it like me. Although bayberry is not a rare thing, it's okay to want to eat it now." I can’t buy it! You really don’t want it, and we can’t force it!”

Aunt Zhang went on to say: "Boss Zheng, this is true. It takes a lot of effort to make dried red bayberry! My niece and daughter-in-law are right. In another month, this thing will be even rarer!"

Boss Zheng still didn't let go: "I also know that after a while, this thing will become rare! But it's too expensive and others can't afford it! There are not many rich people in our town!"

Lu Yumin knew that this business was the most difficult for the first time, and if she pushed out the dried bayberries, she could earn more money next year, and Boss Zheng's playing hard to get would not make things difficult for her!In order to do business successfully, she threw out an olive branch and said, "Boss Zheng, there are quite a few wealthy families in this town! How about I give you an idea?"

Boss Zheng said unexpectedly: "Little sister-in-law, give me an idea? If you can really give me a good idea, then I will accept this thing from you!"

Lu Yumin said: "It doesn't matter whether you take the thing or not, and it's not worth a few silver coins. It's just that you, Boss Zheng, have to try whether this idea will work!"

Boss Zheng laughed "haha": "Based on my sister-in-law's words, then I have to try it too!"

Lu Yumin smiled and said: "Boss Zheng, you just need to find a pregnant woman from a prestigious family among your rich relatives and give this thing out. As long as the pregnant woman eats it, she will still eat it if you keep it I want to eat again!"

Boss Zheng said with a smile: "My sister-in-law really has experience in business! If you can really sell your reputation, it's really thanks to my sister-in-law! It's just that you can't send it every now and then?"

Lu Yumin knew that he was moved, so she said: "No need to send it every now and then, Boss Zheng, what we send you is half-cooked food. I can teach you the last process, so that you can do it again if you don't have it. Also, it is As long as you keep the well-made things in the well, the time will be longer!"

Boss Zheng is an old businessman after all, and he was inspired by Lu Yumin's words, so he deliberately said: "That's what I said, but I still don't know if I can sell it! Let's do this, how much do you want?" Tell me a number, I'll try to sell it first, do you think so?"

Lu Yumin said: "We don't have many. We just want to try this year. If someone eats it, we can make more next year."

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "Our family will not have more than three jars at most. If you leave a jar for yourself to eat, you can rarely sell it to you. Tell me a price. Anyway, it is a snack, and I don't expect it. How much is it for silver?"

Boss Zheng said straightforwardly: "That's fine! Let's do it this way, my little sister-in-law's small pot can only sell for a dozen yuan at most, so I'll accept it for ten yuan per can. What do you think?"

Lu Yumin had no idea of ​​the value of copper coins in this era. She glanced at Aunt Zhang, who immediately understood and said, "Boss Zheng, we don't say anything if you are so straightforward. Since you don't know whether it will be sold or not, then this I'll give you the price you said for a little, and if it sells well, the next time it will be two yuan more per can! Do you think it's okay?"

Boss Zheng said: "Okay, that's it, let's measure the contents of this jar!"

Boss Zheng asked Xiao Er to bring a clean jar, and then said: "Then let me pretend, how about you two?"

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "Okay, how can I ignore you, Boss Zheng? If I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't bring this child to you!"

Boss Zheng said with a smile: "Just saying this to the old sister-in-law, Zheng has to be fair!"

After the measurement, there were less than 130 cans in total, but Boss Zheng still counted [-] Wen and gave it to Lu Yumin. Aunt Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Boss Zheng, you are a generous person!"

Before leaving, Boss Zheng confessed: "Someone will come to town in three days, please call someone to my store and ask if you want me to send you a message!"

Aunt Zhang Wu said, "Okay! Our Sanlin nephew goes to the town to sell pork every day! I'll ask him to ask about it then!"

Boss Zheng asked: "Is it Master Li Sanlin from Lijia Village?"

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "It's him, this is his wife!"

Boss Zheng smiled and said, "That's a good relationship! Master Li and I are also acquaintances! So this is Master Li's new wife? She is really a beautiful daughter-in-law!"

Lu Yumin smiled embarrassingly, and left with Fifth Aunt Zhang without answering Boss Zheng's words. The two went to the cloth shop, bought two pieces of cloth for Niu Niu and Yaya's clothes, and then bought the things Fifth Aunt wanted to buy. When they arrived at the entrance of the town, everyone sat in the bullock cart and waited for them.

As soon as Jin Mei saw the two of them, she asked, "What good things did you buy? You arrived so late?"

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "Isn't it an ordinary thing that is used at home?"

Shuilin's daughter-in-law asked again: "Sanlin's family, have you sold any dried bayberry?"

Lu Yumin smiled immediately and said, "It's sold! Aunt Wu took me to sell it!"

She asked again, "Is it worth money?"

Lu Yumin looked at Aunt Fifth in embarrassment, she didn't know how to answer Qing Xiang's words!It seems that earning money in this rural area is very difficult. A man who does odd jobs for a day can only earn 130 yuan. If she said that she sold it for [-] yuan, would this woman's mouth be too broken?
Seeing Lu Yumin looking at her in embarrassment, Aunt Zhang immediately answered, "How can this thing be worth a lot of money? It's not just some snacks, but it sold for dozens of dollars. No, it's turned into two pieces of cloth!"

Jin Mei smiled and said: "That's a good deal, these two pieces of cloth are not easy to find! But, you are also a real person, you just sold it for a little money and used it all?"

Lu Yumin smiled again and said, "It's not all used, there's still some money left!"

Aunt Zhang asked on a business trip: "Daughter-in-law Quan Lin, what good things did you buy?"

Jinmei said: "Aunt Wu, my third boy has his birthday in two days, and he is arguing that he wants to eat tamales! Why don't you buy a catty of meat, go home and grind some flour for him to steam a bowl of!"

Shui Lin's daughter-in-law said: "Sister-in-law Quan, you really love the child!"

Jinmei said: "Isn't this the child's tenth birthday? Otherwise, how can I eat like this? It's not the New Year or the festival, how can I have spare money to buy meat!"

Shui Lin's daughter-in-law said: "It's the tenth birthday? I'm afraid your natal family will come?"

Jinmei said: "I told them, don't come! Everyone is having a hard time now, and it's hard to get a gift for the wine. Our brothers and sisters have agreed that we will give the child something for the whole life." , no food!"

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "It's true, there is not enough food now, if there are more favors, everyone, big or small, will be hungry!"

An aunt who Lu Yumin couldn't call out said: "Yes, my family had a lot of drinking last year, and now the debts are still outstanding! These days, I am afraid that there are too many debts!"

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "Isn't my family the same? This immature child is about to give birth again, and I don't know where the money will be used!"

Jinmei said: "Aunt Wu, your family is fine. Doesn't your second child have a handicraft? Now is the busiest time for the master bamboo craftsman, and the money will come!"

Fifth Aunt Zhang sighed and said, "Isn't that what you're counting on? But you can't do the usual farming work, and it's too cold to do it, and you can't earn more money!"

Shuilin's wife said: "It's better for Sanlin's family! He slaughters pigs all year round. Except for the busy farming season, he can earn money at other times!"

Aunt Zhang Wu said: "San Linzi is also a hard-working man! Even if he earns a little money, he spends it too much. I'm afraid it will be used up this time to marry a wife!"

Lu Yumin saw that he was turning around again, so she said cautiously: "I don't know too much, but this time I spent a lot of money in my family, and he won't have too much money left."

Shui Lin's daughter-in-law teased her and said: "Your Sanlin still won't let you be a housekeeper? Just how much he loves you, we are so envious!"

Jinmei also teased and said: "Tell me, how rich is Sanlin's family? You are not afraid of us borrowing money, are you?"

Seeing Lu Yumin's embarrassment, Aunt Zhang immediately rescued her and said, "How can he have anything left? The money for the food and drinks on the day you entered the house can only be made up with a few hundred Wen from my boss!"

Lu Yumin didn't understand the situation, she just listened quietly to the chirping of a few women, until everyone got out of the car to pay the money under the big tree at the head of the village, and then she broke up with everyone with a smile.

It was already past noon when I got home, and the two children were already waiting for her to cook at home. As soon as she came in, Yaya rushed over: "Auntie, did you buy something delicious for Yaya?"

Lu Yumin caught her small body and kissed her red and tender face: "I bought it! How can I forget my little girl's delicious mouth? You and your brother sit down at the table, and I will take Caramel for you to eat, wait for me to cook for you."

Yaya ran back happily: "Brother, there is some candy to eat!"

Niu Niu said with a grown-up expression: "Sister, eating too much sugar will damage your teeth, we can't eat too much!"

Lu Yumin praised him: "Niu Niu has really grown up! I have remembered what my aunt said! Each of you eat two, and you will eat later!"

Li Sanlin came back just before dinner, and after helping the two children take a bath and go to bed, when Lu Yumin entered the living room with his shoes on, he hugged Li Sanlin into the room by the door.

Lu Yumin whispered: "What are you doing! I won't leave by myself! Let the children see!"

Li Sanlin mumbled to his son and daughter in the mosquito net across from him and said, "I fell asleep a long time ago! I'm tired of playing during the day, and I'm still like two little pigs at night!"

Lu Yumin struggled: "Can't I go by myself?"

Li Sanlin said angrily: "What? You don't even let me hug you? Did you forget about it after letting you off these few days? Are you well today? I'm hungry!"

Lu Yumin shuddered three times when he said, "I'm hungry!", as if she saw a wolf saying this to a little sheep!
