My Courtyard Refuge

Thirteen Three Months

On September 1, Xu Ke and Xu Ke sisters officially became a glorious elementary school student. The school is not far from their new home, but only a few hundred meters away.

On September 2, the supermarket replaced a new signboard, and the “Coke Convenience Store” officially opened.

Regardless of his previous life or present life, Xu Dong has no experience in selling things, nor is he interested in running a convenience store.

Dad Xu was different, he had experience of setting up a stall before, and he couldn’t stay at home, so he wanted to show his talents, so he took over the position of store manager without hesitation.

Xu Dong reluctantly scraped together more than half a truckload of goods from the underground warehouse, mainly various clothing, souvenirs, tobacco, wine and sugar.

Coupled with half a truckload of fresh products and a truckload of daily necessities from the wholesaler, it finally supported the convenience store.

On the day of the opening, Dad Xu not only placed arches and flower baskets in front of the gate, but also asked an advertising company to print flyers and hired people to distribute them in several surrounding communities.

The sales performance on the first day was very good, because it was losing money to gain popularity, the main fresh products were sold cleanly, and other products were also sold well.

But in the next few days, the performance will not be good, and it has been tepid. The daily turnover of about 5,000 yuan made Dad Xu sigh anxiously.

After all, the monthly rent of the store is less than 20,000 yuan, which is really unaffordable.

Later, in order to save money, Father Xu simply dismissed the only tally clerk.

Xu Dong couldn’t help persuading him, but not only was it useless, but he was arrested as a young man, and he accompanied Dad Xu to and from get off work every day.

…

Time is invisible and intangible, just when you are not paying attention, it has already passed you by quietly.

In two days, New Year’s Day in 2022 will arrive, and there are only more than forty days left before the outbreak of the solar flare.

Father Xu’s complexion has improved a lot recently.

After three months of groping and summarizing, throughout December, “Coke Convenience Store” finally turned losses into profits.

In order to cope with the sales peak years ago, the store recruited a tally clerk again.

The biggest contributor to turning losses into profits this time is definitely none other than Xu Dong, who found a “hit product” for the convenience store by mistake.

In the past three months, Xu Dong certainly wouldn’t let himself be tied to a convenience store. He always found various reasons to “ask for leave” and continue his great business of hoarding goods.

Relying on the 1 million yuan from the house sale in Luyang and the 2.45 million yuan from the sale of the diamond ring, his bank account once again exceeded 5 million yuan.

With money in hand, Xu Dong became active again, often drivingMy own small truck travels to and from the rural areas around Yanjing.

After collecting native chickens, ducks, and eggs several times, he came up with the idea of ​​selling these agricultural products in his convenience store.

First, you can find an excuse for yourself to sweep goods in the countryside;

Secondly… Uh, there is no second reason, anyway, there is no harm in trying, and you can’t lose a lot of money.

After obtaining Dad Xu’s consent, the “Coke Convenience Store” was transformed into a specialty store for agricultural products such as local chicken and eggs.

Since all the agricultural products are purchased by Xu Dong from the mountainous countryside without hesitation, the quality is guaranteed, and the “Coke Convenience Store” has gradually gained a bit of fame in the surrounding communities.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the cold wind on the streets of Yanjing in winter, Xu Dong drove over to pick up Xu’s father home.

As soon as he got in the car, Dad Xu couldn’t wait to order: “Can you give me more of that local egg, every time I order it, it will be sold out before noon.”

“Okay, I’ll run farther tomorrow.” Xu Dong agreed.

He usually goes to the countryside for at least one or two days, and at most three or four days. This time he plans to go further, because there are still bad things in the vast mountainous areas.

“Today’s turnover has exceeded 20,000, and this store has really opened.” Dad Xu couldn’t hide his joy.

Xu Dong flattered him a little: “It’s all thanks to you, Dad.”

Dad Xu waved his hand, he still had self-knowledge, “I can’t do it, you young people are still smart and have ideas.”

“Dad, shall we go back to Luyang for Chinese New Year this year?” This question was difficult to answer, so Xu Dong quickly changed the subject.

“I won’t come back.” Dad Xu shook his head and explained: “Dabao and the others are too young, let’s celebrate the New Year in Yanjing this year, there is no need to go back and forth.”

===Section 10===

“Okay, I’ll ask mom to prepare more New Year’s goods and send them back later…”

We went home after chatting.

After parking the car, as soon as the father and son walked into the restaurant, Yang Lina asked, “Dad, a hundred boxes of milk powder were delivered by express today. Is the milk powder in the store selling well recently?”

“What milk powder?” Dad Xu was at a loss, “Our family doesn’t sell milk powder.”

Xu Dong immediately jumped out and explained, “I ordered the milk powder.”

“Why do you buy so much milk powder? Dabao and the others can’t finish it for ten years!” Yang Lina said, clutching her forehead.

“If you can’t finish drinking, you can take it to the store to sell. I bought imported good milk powder, and I don’t have to worry about selling it. I’m still reluctant to sell it!”

Xu Dong did not lie this time. These milk powders were specially purchased from abroad by a former big supplier, and they were specially used to give back to big customers.

This milk powder is also a big brand in foreign countries, and the supply has always been in short supply. Xu Dong deliberately asked the other party to keep a hundred boxes, which saved a lot of trouble.

After all, there are three babies in the family, and milk powder is definitely indispensable.

Due to malnutrition in the previous life, the triplets’ physique became worse and worse, leaving eternal regrets in the end.

Hearing this, Yang Lina’s confidence was much weaker, and she complained softly:

“There’s no need to buy so many at once?”

Xu Dong said angrily: “You think I think so? The quantity is small, and they still don’t sell it. This is a tight commodity.”

As soon as the words were finished, Mother Xu came out with the dishes, smoothing things over and saying:

“Stop talking, wash your hands and eat quickly, but they are already hungry.”

Father Xu immediately echoed, “Nana, you don’t have to worry too much. Imported milk powder is still very easy to sell. I’ll take a box to the store to sell it tomorrow.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to sell it.” Xu Dong hurriedly stopped him: “The Chinese New Year will be next month, and I still have to give milk powder as a gift. It won’t be too late to sell it after the year.”

In the future, milk powder will become more and more rare. If it is not limited by the shelf life, Xu Dong will definitely stock up a high milk powder mountain.

“Alright.” Dad Xu nodded.

Yang Lina finally reminded: “Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date, don’t forget, a box costs several thousand dollars!”

“understood.”

…

Dinner was dried chicken hotpot.

The chicken is native chicken purchased by Xu Dong from the countryside. The convenience store can’t sell it all, so Xu Ma took it back and made it into an air-dried chicken. After it is done, it can be sold to a nearby local restaurant.

After several months of accumulation, the yard is now covered with all kinds of dried chicken, duck and fish meat. Roughly counting, the number is at least five or six hundred.

Xu Dong heard from his wife that Xu’s mother can earn more than 10,000 private money every month by selling dry goods, which makes Xu’s father envious.

Who let my family live in a courtyard house? The owner of the local restaurant came in and felt that the old lady was a real person.

With trust, the sales will naturally not be bad.
