Chapter 46 Making Money



Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that business would come so soon.

Put the backpack down quickly.

He whispered, "There are fifty kilograms here. And the quality of my rice is very good. How much do you want, sister?"

Now that people call her "big sister", she has to call them "sister"!

The old lady looked a little dissatisfied.

"It's only fifty kilograms! That's too little."

There are many people in her family, and fifty kilograms of rice will not last long.

"Ah, just 50 kilograms. I saved this by being frugal. I have elderly and young children to support at home, so I have a lot of places to spend money."

Although Shen Jiaojiao had enough rice to take out, it was her first time doing business, so she couldn't be too ostentatious.

No one knows whether the person you are doing business with is good or bad, so you have to be careful.

The old lady sighed.

"How much is this rice per pound?"

"70 cents if you have a ticket, 1 dollar if you don't have a ticket, how much do you want, girl?"

Shen Jiaojiao had a general understanding of the food market.

The price of rice sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives is 50 cents per pound, and the price on the black market is slightly higher than that in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

That's why she set this price.

The old lady frowned.

"I don't have that many tickets, but yours is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper? I'll take them all."

"Sister, you've seen the quality of my rice. It's all good and not expensive. How about this! I'm also in a hurry to go home and take care of my kids. If you want all of it, I'll charge you 90 cents per pound."

The auntie is not someone who is short of money, but she always feels that she will be at a disadvantage if she does not bargain for the price when buying things.

Now that the price has dropped by 1 cent per pound, she is quite happy.

"Okay, 90 cents is 90 cents. By the way, if you have more goods next time, please sell them to me! I come to the black market often."

As the old lady spoke, she took out forty-five yuan from her cloth pocket and gave it to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Sure, sure."

Shen Jiaojiao took the money and watched the old lady leave.

In just a short while, he earned forty-five yuan.

Although the money is not much, she feels a sense of accomplishment!

So this is the joy of doing business!

With the experience gained, Shen Jiaojiao changed her place and sold 100 kilograms of rice.

This time they were selling it for one yuan per pound. The man was very straightforward and gave her ten big tickets without any bargaining.

In less than two hours, Shen Jiaojiao earned 145 yuan.

She also took out thirty kilograms of rice, thirty kilograms of flour and twenty kilograms of pork fat from the space.

Then put everything into the backpack.

This time I'm not planning to sell them, but to bring them to Liu Xiaolan.

I couldn’t find a good excuse to give her food before, but now that she’s in the county town, I must say that she bought these things herself!

Others won't suspect anything.

I would like to get more things.

But the total weight here is 80 kilograms. If I put more food in the backpack, those people will definitely say:

Could Shen Jiaojiao be a strongman? She can carry hundreds of kilograms of food on her back without getting out of breath!

Then she would definitely be regarded as an outlier.

Shen Jiaojiao did not stay in the black market any longer.

After leaving the black market, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some daily necessities, and prepared to meet up with the old women at the place where the ox carts were parked.

When passing by a photo studio.

Looking at the photos displayed in the photo studio.

Shen Jiaojiao actually had the idea of ​​taking wedding photos with Xu Mozhao.

Although she is not yet of legal marriage age, it is not illegal to take wedding photos!

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao left happily.

On the way back, Shen Jiaojiao thought sadly that she did not check the almanac before going out, and the weather changed suddenly and it started to rain heavily.

The sky was immediately covered by dark clouds, and there were bursts of thunder and lightning.

The wind was strong and frightening.

Everyone on the oxcart was soaked like a drowned chicken.

They all curled up in their arms like quails.

The raindrops were like hail, hitting my face and it hurt so much.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. At this time, the old ox was frightened by the thunder and lightning, and ran around like crazy.

The people still in the car fight were suddenly knocked dizzy.

Fortunately, the person driving the ox cart was an old master.

Relying on his many years of experience in driving cattle carts, he was able to control the mad cattle.

It saved the people in the car fight from a disaster.

It was getting darker and darker, and they had been walking back for three hours, but had not yet reached the village.

Shen Jiaojiao was a little desperate.

What should I do if it is night and I am blind everywhere?

Another half hour passed and it became completely dark.

The road ahead is no longer visible.

The ox-cart master said, "We can't go any further. We can only wait until tomorrow morning. The rain is too heavy, the road is too slippery, and the old ox can't tell the direction."

The old women didn't have the energy to speak at this moment.

They all shivered and huddled together for warmth.

Shen Jiaojiao really wants to enter the space at this moment.

But she can't!

If you enter the space at this time, you will be scared to death!

Why!

The first time she tried to make big money in business, she ran into big trouble. Could it be that this was a test from God?

Shen Jiaojiao, who had become a drowned chicken, closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while.

"Shen Jiaojiao! Shen Jiaojiao..."

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.

The voice is familiar.

It’s Xu Mo!

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly perked up. She looked up and saw a bright light shining at the end of the road.

The old women also heard the sound and saw a little light in the rainy night.

"We are here, we are here..."

The old women were even more excited than Shen Jiaojiao. They stood up one after another and danced towards the newcomers.

In less than a moment, the bright light in the rainy night came closer.

Only then did Shen Jiaojiao see clearly what the light was.

It's a flashlight.

The flashlight was tied to the front of the bicycle, and Xu Mo was wearing a raincoat and riding on the bicycle.

Although he was wearing a raincoat, his face was still wet from the rain.

The moment Shen Jiaojiao saw Xu Mo, she suddenly wanted to cry.

It is such a blessing to have someone thinking of her and caring about her.

"Third brother..."

Shen Jiaojiao's voice was trembling, and her voice was even more delicate.

Xu Mo's heart shuddered.

When I saw Shen Jiaojiao was safe and sound, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He got off his bicycle and put the raincoat he brought on Shen Jiaojiao.

"Shen Jiaojiao, sit behind me and hold the flashlight. I will take you back."

Then, Shen Jiaojiao sat on the back seat of the bicycle.

She grabbed Xu Mo's clothes with one hand and shone the other hand on the ground behind her to guide the old cow.

Although it is still raining heavily at this time.

But she wasn't afraid anymore.

It seems that as long as Xu Mo is around, all problems can be solved.

The road that seemed very long and difficult to walk on before, after Xu Mo came, I had the illusion that I reached the village in a moment.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly felt quite lost.

I was thinking, how come it got here so quickly?

Why don't you get caught in the rain for a while?

If these little thoughts were known by those old women.

It must be said that Shen Jiaojiao was blinded by love.

There are only men in my heart.
