Chapter 41
The neighbor Mrs. Zhang looked at the row of noodles hanging in Huo's yard in surprise.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Huo Dagui explained: "Make some noodles!"

"I only know how to roll noodles. You've never seen it in such a long time!"

Huo Dagui smiled and said: "Make some while you have time, and save it for Chinese New Year!"

It's not the twelfth lunar month yet, so it's time to cook the food for the first month?I really don't know what to think!The old lady shook her head and went back to the house to joke with her man.

After the noodles were dried, Huo Dagui took them off.Cut them into equal lengths with a guillotine and put them aside.Kou Xi brought back the white paper, and discussed with Huo Dagui how to make a suitable package.

"I can do it by myself!" Seeing that Kou Xi had cut the paper, Huo Dagui wrapped a pound of dried noodles on the white paper, and sealed the bottom and corners with paste.

"You can do it yourself if you have a small amount, but there are so many idlers at home. How old are you!" Kou Xi didn't take it seriously, and his skills were very quick.

"One person cuts the paper, one weighs the dried noodles, and one packs the dried noodles." Kou Xi commanded: "Huo Lu cuts the paper, the second brother-in-law divides the scales, and Xiaoman packs the package. In fact, the second sister can also work while sitting there, just Put the paste on the paper!" Huo Dagui felt that he could do it by himself with only fifteen catties of noodles.

But Kou Xi said to him: "There are so many idlers in the family, and you still have to rely on you to support them? Your old man can only make dried noodles, and you are an expert in craftsmanship. This noodles will definitely sell well. Other supply and marketing cooperatives, Materials can be sold abroad. If the quantity is too large, you can’t do it alone. It’s best to divide labor and cooperate like this, otherwise there will be no farm work in this winter, and all the money will be thrown on the poker table.”

Huo Dagui nodded and sighed repeatedly: "This is true, Huo Lu and his wife are not long-term people with ideas and long-term thinking. The remaining two are foodies, and they don't think about anything if they have food!
Because Huo Dagui felt that Kouxi's room was clean and spacious, he took all the noodles in.The two sat on the kang table and packed the package, and Li Cuilian in the next room felt very uncomfortable.

Muttering to Zhang Yao: "Then what is Kouxi hooking up with your dad for?"

Zhang Yao pursed her lips with disdain on her face: "You have to stay in this room if you want to do anything, what's the matter with going to her room?"

Li Cuilian shook her head and put on her shoes: "No, I have to check it out. If this gets mixed up, I'll beat this little bitch to death!"

She opened the door and entered Kou Xi's room, and saw Huo Dagui cutting paper on the ground and applying paste.Kou Xi sat cross-legged on the kang, and packed handfuls of noodles in white paper.

The tone was very bad: "What are you two messing with?"

Huo Dagui was angry: "I have been making noodles at home for several days, you didn't see it!"

Li Cuilian mocked: "I know what you're going to do? Talk to you, and you won't make any noise. Who dares to mess with you!"

"Dad said that the family has no money now, so I can make some noodles so that I can sell them at work!" Kou Xi felt that such an obvious thing, who could not see it.

"Can it be sold!" Li Cuilian disagreed: "It's better to make some tofu, who can't make noodles!"

"If you can sell it, you will know if you try it." Kou Xi didn't even look at Li Cuilian, and his subordinates kept moving: "You can sell small dried fish, so what's wrong with noodles!"

Speaking of dried fish, Li Cuilian stepped forward and sat on the kang with her butt lifted.There was a bit of curiosity on his face: "Hey, is that dried fish easy to sell? I heard that the dried fish in the yard of Wang Yazhi's house is selling well!"

Kou Xi nodded and told the truth: "The sales are very good! Our unit can sell about fifty or sixty bags a week, about sixteen or seventeen dollars."

Li Cuilian felt unbelievable: "It can sell so much!"

Huo Dagui snorted coldly and said, "Not only that, the old Kou and the others also sell it, and even sell it to supply and marketing cooperatives in other villages. It can sell for three to four hundred yuan a month!"

When Li Cuilian heard this, she quickly pressed Kou Xi's busy hand, her eyes widened: "Then let's do this too, don't do it for your sister, let's sell it ourselves!"

Kou Xi sneered: "You can do whatever other people do. If you want to make money, you can't figure it out on your own. Blocking people's money is tantamount to killing their parents. Are you looking for trouble!"

"Cut!" Li Cuilian puffed up her chest and said confidently: "It's not that only her family can do it, and it's not that others can't do it. Everyone depends on their ability, why should our family work for her? How much money will she give you? Why don't you have to pay for running errands!"

Li Cuilian winked at Kou Xi: "We also sell small dried fish, tell your father about it. We are a family, she is not yours after all."

Kou Xi bowed his head and remained silent, and Huo Dagui also remained silent.Li Cuilian became anxious, and went down to pat Huo Dagui on the back: "Old Huo, you didn't hear what I was talking to you. Kouxi can be sold for tens of dollars a month, and hundreds of dollars a year. With this Why let outsiders take advantage of good things!"

Huo Dagui pointed to the noodles on the kang, with an impatient face on his face: "Aren't you working here now. If the noodles can be sold, won't they also make money!"

Li Cuilian was in a hurry: "You bastard, what can I say about you? Who buys these noodles? Everyone knows how to roll noodles and eat your crap. I've heard about the dried fish. It tastes so good. , every visitor buys two packs as hard food!"

"I asked you to make small fish, what did you do? There is not much meat in that stuff, does anyone buy it?" Huo Dagui sneered: "Now that they are doing it, you have to pick up leftovers from behind. You like this People who eat shit can't eat hot food, and they can't do anything!"

Li Cuilian poked her waist, and still felt that she was a capable person: "Damn, who told me to sell dried fish? If I told me, I would definitely do it. I'll put my words here today. Your noodles are Money-losing goods!"

Huo Dagui thought she was unlucky, so he raised his hand to beat her.Li Cuilian ran away with her head in her arms, and stood at the door stomping her feet: "If you say you don't listen, there will be times when you will regret it!"

The noodles made from fifteen catties of flour are of course more than fifteen catties, and the amount of noodles made by adding water and salt is even greater.Huo Dagui weighed it. Basically, a catty of flour can produce a catty of four to five taels of noodles.Therefore, Kou Xi packed twenty bags of the fifteen catties of flour.

"A pack costs thirty cents, and twenty packs costs six yuan!" Water costs nothing, salt costs thirty-one catties, and wrapping paper costs seventeen cents.The cost of these [-] packs is [-] yuan, and you can earn [-] cents.

Huo Dagui was rather worried: "I don't know how long these twenty packs will last!"

Kou Xi really knew that in the early 90s, there was a large noodle factory in the small town.People spent thousands of dollars to buy the machine, and the daily output is quite astonishing.And it was also this kind of handmade noodle workshop in the early days, which shows that it is easy to make money if the market is right.

"Let's sell it first!" Kou Xi said with a smile: "But you are at a retail price. If the unit is on sale, you will definitely not be able to pay the price."

Huo Dagui nodded: "How much do you think should be sold, is it more appropriate?"

Kou Xi said: "Your catty of flour is [-] cents, so you can sell it for [-] cents."

Huo Dagui asked back: "Then I didn't do it for nothing?"

"A catty of noodles can produce a catty of four taels of noodles, and the larger the quantity, the more you can earn." Kou Xi took money out of his pocket and handed it to Huo Dagui: "I'll give you [-] cents a pack for the twenty packs. , I’ll sell it for [-] cents and give it a try.”

Huo Dagui waved his hand: "That can't be done, you can't do this. You can take it to your unit and sell it. This will be used as an experiment for our family."

"A sum is a sum, and you have also seen my mother's attitude. Only when she sees the returned money can she mobilize everyone to work together." Kou Xi handed four dollars to Huo Dagui.

"Although you only earned one dollar and five dollars, I'm also taking risks. I don't know when I can earn the two dollars, and if the sale is not good, the price will have to be lowered." Kou Xi likes to put his words first: " The purchase price is set, and it doesn’t matter how much others sell it for. In the future, when someone comes to buy at home, your price should also be consistent.”

Huo Dagui understands this truth!
