Tian Tian stood a little further away from the supply and marketing cooperative and started shouting at the top of her voice, "Buy chestnuts, chestnuts boiled in sugar water, fragrant, sweet and soft chestnuts, three cents a bag, two bags for five cents."
Tian Tian used common modern sales methods here.
No one can control the desire to take advantage of others, and people nowadays are no exception.
Old ladies who came to buy things from the countryside would look down upon hearing chestnuts. How could people like them who lived at the foot of the mountain not have chestnuts to eat at home? Some of them even ate chestnuts as rice, so who would care about chestnuts?
But when they heard Tian Tian shouting that his chestnuts were boiled in sugar water and cost three cents a bag, two bags for five cents, so they could save a penny, everyone immediately perked up and thought it was a great bargain and they would go to waste if they didn't take advantage of it. Those who had just finished shopping came up to Tian Tian and all asked for two bags of chestnuts.
There are already many people coming to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things. Even those from poor families are willing to spend money to buy some snacks during the New Year.
Tian Tian was so busy that she had no time to rest. While wrapping chestnuts for them, she also remembered to collect their money.
It won't be long before the examples he brought with him run out.
But there was a large group of people around her and she couldn't leave. She didn't have time to ask Cui Tianlili to bring her chestnuts. In addition, she had only been away from home for more than ten minutes, and Tian Lili would not come for another twenty minutes. Tian Tian found a child nearby and gave him a penny, asking him to go home and tell her.
Not long after the child ran away, Tian Lili came over carrying a large bucket of steaming chestnuts that had just come out of the pot.
Everyone could see that the chestnuts were freshly cooked, steam coming out of them, and still fresh. As soon as they got close they could smell a fragrant and sweet aroma.
There were more people gathering around, so Tian Lili couldn't leave. Tian Tian was collecting money over there, and she was helping to wrap chestnuts over here.
After waiting for a long time until there were fewer people, Tian Lili saw that the chestnuts in the bucket were almost gone, so she hurried back and picked up two more buckets, and also gave one bucket to Tian Yun.
There were fewer people at Tian Yun's place today, so sales were slower. When Tian Lili went there, the chestnuts Tian Yun brought had not been sold out yet.
When he heard Tian Lili talking about Tian Tian's grand chestnut sales, he immediately sent Tian Lili back to help.
On her way home, Tian Lili went to see Tian Tian. Knowing that Tian Tian could still manage by herself, she hurried back, fished out the cooked chestnuts again, added water and chestnuts, and cooked another pot with saccharin.
That day, the three of them were very busy.
When most of the people who came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things had gone home and the entrance of the cooperative became deserted, Tian Tian pounded her shoulders and prepared to go back with her empty basket.
Because there were so many people buying, they sold out a little earlier, more than half an hour earlier than yesterday. Tian Tian went back, sat on the bench, and let out a long sigh.
Except for sitting for a while during lunch today, she had been standing to sell things the whole time. Now that she can finally sit down, she feels like her legs are not her own.
Tian Lili was also very tired today. In the past, she only needed to boil chestnuts, but today she had to deliver chestnuts to Tian Tian and Tian Yun. If Tian Tian was too busy, she had to help sell them, so she was very busy.
Now Tian Tian can rest there, but she also has to clean up the house. She has been busy all day, and the yard and the kitchen are a mess. She has to clean them up.
Tian Tian originally wanted to take a break, but seeing Tian Lili busying around in front of her, she felt embarrassed to sit alone, so she stood up and helped Tian Lili with the work. When Tian Yun came back, the three of them worked together and went a little faster.
When Shen Lingling came back, the three of them had already cleaned the house.
"You're finally back!" Tian Tian said weakly while sitting on the chair.
"This is the money I earned today. I'm going home first!" Tian Tian took out a thick stack of money from her pocket and handed it to Shen Lingling. There were one-cent notes and one-cent notes. Just from the thickness of the money, it can be seen that Tian Tian made a lot of money today.
"So much?!" Shen Lingling was shocked. She felt that this money was more than twice what she sold for.
"How do you earn so much money?"
Shocked, Shen Lingling even forgot what she was going to say.
"Today a lot of people came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. I was standing at the door of the cooperative selling things. It's the New Year and everyone is willing to spend money. They bought some things to sweeten their stomachs, so I made a lot of money." Tian Tian said.
"This is the money I made from selling today. It's not as much as yesterday." Tian Yun also handed over his own money.
She didn't ask any more questions. She put all her money together and counted it. Finally, she was surprised to find that she had sold more than ten yuan today.
"How much did you two sell for?" Shen Lingling was shocked.
"There are only a lot of people these few days, how can it be sold for so much money? After the New Year, it won't be available for sale!" said Tian Tian.
Shen Lingling put the money aside and said, "I think the New Year is coming soon. There will be more people in the city these days, so we can sell more chestnuts. You three should get up early and rush here. It will be too late to go back at night, and it will be tiring to take the bus. How about you stay here and wait until the New Year to go back?"
After hearing this, Tian Tian and Tian Yun looked at each other and said nothing. In fact, they both felt a little reluctant to work today.
The reason they came to help Shen Lingling sell things was, firstly, because they saw how hard Shen Lingling worked and they wanted to lend a hand, and secondly, it was winter and it was really boring at home, so they came here to kill time.
But they were really tired after today's work, and they had originally planned to rest at home for a day tomorrow.
To be honest, neither of them is short of money. Although the money given by the school is not much, it is enough for them to spend.
Tian Tian had the money from Li Jiuniang in her hand, and she was not short of money herself. The money earned after a hard day's work was dispensable and not that important to Tian Tian.
But looking at the small yard full of things, she thought about how busy they were today. If they were not here, Shen Lingling would definitely be even busier. It cost a lot of money to buy the iron stove and rent the house, and Tian must be worried.
Tian Tian and Tian Yun looked at each other, both of them were a little conflicted. Finally, Tian Tian softened her heart and agreed.
"Then I have to go back and tell my parents tonight." Tian Tian said, and then gave a shot of prevention, "Lingling, our family will help you for a few days before the New Year. After the New Year, our family will not have time."
