35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
When Zhang Guocai heard that everyone was here to buy something, the wrinkles on his face immediately smoothed out. He put down the things in his hands, walked up to them with a smile and opened the door for them.
"So you're here to buy something. Jiang Li has something to do right now. Please come in and sit down."
Zhang Guocai quickly invited them to the main hall. He stopped doing anything else and immediately served everyone tea and water. His service was very thoughtful.
Jiang Li had heard the noise outside a long time ago. After she finished looking after the child and walked out of the room, she had just taken one step into the main room when everyone looked at her.
"Hello, uncles and aunts."
Jiang Li greeted everyone politely, and at this time Jiang Longtao also waved to her in the crowd.
"Jiang Li, you only greeted your uncles and aunts, but not your brothers?"
Jiang Li gave him a look, and Jiang Longtao smiled even brighter.
Jiang Li looked at him, Jiang Li looked at him! This trip was worth it!
"Jiang Li, the cakes you gave me last time were really delicious. After I finished eating them, I wanted to buy some to give to my relatives."
"That's what I thought too. I've never eaten such delicious cakes in my life."
"Jiang Li, you have really clever hands. You can draw portraits, do hair, and even make cakes. You really have all the best qualities combined!"
The villagers took the initiative to explain their purpose and directly praised Jiang Li.
The main reason was that the pastries she made were so delicious. They had never eaten anything so delicious in their lives.
The supply and marketing cooperative occasionally sold some cakes, but not only did they require tickets, but they were also extremely expensive, which was simply unaffordable for ordinary people like them.
"I do have some cakes left. I was planning to take them to Baiyun Town to sell tomorrow."
Jiang Li planned to sell pastries on the black market, which would be quite dangerous, but she didn't have to worry because she had the space. She could put the pastries in a basket and wrap them with a towel. After selling them, she could take some out from the space. This was the ideal situation.
"Just sell it to us directly, why go to Baiyun Town?"
When the villagers heard that Jiang Li still had goods, they immediately stood up from their stools happily.
"These pastries aren't made in large quantities, and the ingredients used are all top quality, which is quite expensive, so the price is a bit..."
Jiang Li said the ugly words in advance to prevent people from complaining that the price was too high and making the villagers think that she was raising the price, which would not be worth the loss and would make her have a bad impression.
"How much does it cost?"
"You're giving us something this expensive for free?"
"Jiang Li, you really think highly of us. If you have any problems in the future, just ask me. I will definitely help you if I can!"
Jiang Li's words not only made everyone understand her difficulties, but also made them realize how precious the package Jiang Li gave her was.
"One bag is one kilogram. I plan to sell it on the black market for two yuan a bag. If you uncles really want it, I will sell it to you at the cost price of one yuan."
"I spent a lot of money on materials to make these things, plus the labor costs, so at one dollar a bag, I don't make much profit."
Jiang Li's words were sincere and everyone nodded in agreement.
A bag of snacks weighs one kilogram and is so delicious, so it’s acceptable to sell it for one dollar.
Moreover, when they heard that Jiang Li had originally planned to sell it to others for two yuan, but now sold it to them at a low price, it seemed that he not only had no intention of cheating them, but also really treated them as people from the same village.
Jiang Li's action won everyone's respect. Everyone stood up and asked for two kilograms and three kilograms.
Eight people came over, and everyone except Jiang Longtao bought pastries.
Jiang Li didn't make many pastries to begin with, and since he gave away so many packages at the beginning, only a small half was left after they were sold.
Jiang Li sold a total of 15 cakes and earned a total of 15 yuan. After deducting the cost of materials and costs, the net profit was 8 yuan.
Overall it's pretty good. Jiang Li can earn half a month's living expenses without leaving home. He is very satisfied with the result.
The villagers who bought winnowing baskets and cakes left satisfied, and in the end only Jiang Longtao was left sitting there.
"Everyone's leaving, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"How many cakes do you have left to sell?"
"I didn't count them specifically, but there should be more than ten kilograms."
"A dozen pounds isn't a lot. I'd like to collaborate with you. I'll buy cakes from you, and then I'll help you sell them. What do you think?"
Jiang Longtao looked at Jiang Li with anticipation. He had also tasted the pastries that Jiang Yi had sent over. The taste was indeed very refreshing and unique. He felt that these pastries would have a good market if they were sold outside.
If I can cooperate with Jiang Li, on the one hand, it will solve her problem of not being able to go out because of having children, and on the other hand, both of us can make money, which can be considered a win-win situation.
"I have a limited supply of these cakes. Once I sell them this time, there won't be another batch. I just sold them to the villagers at a friendly price. If you want to sell them for money, the price won't be the same."
Jiang Li was not greedy. She originally planned to sell these pastries at two yuan per pound. Of course, they might not sell well at the beginning, but that was her ideal price. Jiang Li wanted to give it a try herself.
"Of course I won't take advantage of you. How about this? I'll buy the goods for 1.3 yuan per pound. No matter how much I sell them for, the profit is mine, and the loss is also mine. What do you say?"
Jiang Longtao looked at Jiang Li sincerely. He was very optimistic about Jiang Li and liked the pastries she made. He believed that these pastries could be sold and could be sold at a good price.
Jiang Li calmly calculated that if she followed Jiang Longtao's advice, she could save herself a lot of trouble and earn quite a bit of money.
Her main task now is to take care of the children, and she really shouldn't spend her time on this.
"Can you get food stamps?"
If Jiang Li plans to make yam glutinous rice cakes in the future, he will have to buy a lot more glutinous rice.
She had limited food coupons, and if she didn't have any, she would have to buy glutinous rice on the black market, where the price would be quite high.
"As long as you cooperate with me, I won't need food coupons. I will go directly to the villagers' homes to buy ready-made food. I guarantee that the price will be cheaper than the grain station!"
Jiang Longtao patted his chest and promised with a smile.
"What about yam? Do you have a way to buy it?"
If you plan to make cakes in large quantities and rely on your own people to dig in the mountains, the harvest will definitely be very small. If you go outside to buy it, the purchase of yam is also a big deal.
"Of course, as long as our cooperation can proceed smoothly, these are all small things."
"So you plan to get the goods now?"
"Take it, of course you should take it. I've brought the money. Go and count how many there are. I'll pay you right away."
Jiang Li came to the kitchen and took out all the yam glutinous rice cakes. She counted them carefully and found that there were 16 cakes in total.
"16 cakes, right? Here's 21 yuan, don't forget the change!"
