When Wei Aiguo and Song Yan returned, the family had so much food—wheat flour, cornmeal, sorghum, millet, live chickens, live rabbits, live ducks, dates, dried fish, bamboo fungus, various kinds of flower tea, etc.—that it took everyone quite a while to move it all.
Everyone in the family except for Old Zeng and Aunt Wei was astonished. Was this person planning to just get through this year and not care about next year?
There are several baskets of apples!
Eggs, all prepared. Song Yan brought out quite a few, especially since women need to eat eggs during their postpartum period.
Flower tea, wood ear fungus, mushrooms, pine nuts, and hazelnuts are gifts. They can all be considered mountain products, and would be expensive if bought directly, but they're different since they were mailed from my hometown.
Especially flower tea; many people know that Shenchangchuan flower tea is delicious. But others can't get their hands on it!
For Yueyue's sake, Shen Ruomei sought help from the Leng family, the Li family, and Old Zeng's former subordinates. These were the best ways to express her feelings.
Regarding the matter of Old Master Leng, Song Yan asked his master for help. Old Han, having learned the details, agreed to visit him personally. After all, Old Master Leng's mobility was somewhat limited.
In the end, it's unclear who should thank whom.
After that, Song Yan would not come out when Wei Aiguo was not at home.
Now, those who buy goods from Xiaohu are following his advice: after selling other goods in the morning, they go to sell roasted sweet potatoes in the afternoon.
Selling roasted sweet potatoes only requires a small cart, half a metal drum, and a few dollars to have it modified. For them now, the cost is minimal.
Metal buckets are a little harder to get, but not impossible.
The sweet potatoes they roasted were sweet and sticky, and they went to sell them in crowded places, such as train stations or bus stations.
Of course, you need to find a suitable location. Too far won't work, and too close won't work either. If you're too close, you might get caught. If you're too far away, people won't know what you do, and nobody will pay attention to you.
They figured it out in three to five days.
In one afternoon, each person sold 50 jin (25 kg) of sweet potatoes, and they sold out easily. This was because of the large flow of people and the irresistible aroma of the sweet potatoes. Anyone with money in their pocket would generally buy one.
If you roast and sell a pound of sweet potatoes, you can earn about ten cents. If you sell fifty pounds, you can earn five dollars.
Like Liu Shuhong, after selling 50 jin of roasted sweet potatoes in the afternoon, she would push her cart around the movie theater entrance in the evening.
Many moviegoers are couples with children or couples in relationships.
Children will definitely want it when they smell the aroma, and adults usually agree. This is because people who can afford to come to the movies are generally well-off.
Young couples who are dating will usually buy one if they see their partner looking at sweet potatoes.
On the first day, I finally sold out ten kilograms at the entrance of the movie theater.
Twenty pounds wasn't enough the next day.
Because these roasted sweet potatoes are really delicious. I could easily eat 30 kilograms the next night.
Actually, they could sell even more. It was Song Yan who wouldn't allow it. She thought it was better to be cautious. There were many locals watching the movie, and she was worried about attracting attention.
Liu Shuhong also sells melon seeds on the side.
Maozi and Guan Xiaozi started out selling roasted melon seeds.
Since the two of them didn't have much capital, they didn't dare to buy too much. Wei Aiguo gave each of them ten yuan and thirty jin of cornmeal.
Guan, you're truly penniless. He started his business with the money Wei Aiguo gave him.
A pound of sunflower seeds costs two cents. Roasted seeds can fill about seven teacups. Each teacup sells for five cents. So a pound of sunflower seeds can sell for thirty-five cents. The profit is quite high.
One night, I won't say much more, ten pounds is no problem. Because it's not just a movie theater, they wander around everywhere.
Actually, they're not the only ones selling melon seeds; they're sold outside every movie theater.
As long as they're not too outrageous, no one will arrest them.
But sunflower seeds are their fastest-selling item. Because their sunflower seeds taste good!
Both Maozi and Guan Xiaozi were quick-witted. After working for seven or eight days, they used all the profits they had made and the money they had on hand to buy more goods.
They don't have much capital, so they can't buy much stock, but they can still earn an extra dollar this morning. Next time they buy stock, they'll have an extra dollar in capital.
Seeing their capital increase every day, the two of them worked with great enthusiasm.
Wei Aiguo was happy for them that they didn't have to steal to make a living.
...
Shen Ruomei was genuinely angry.
Yueyue lay on her mother's lap, "Mommy, Auntie is angry!"
"So, you slept with her last night?" Song Yan asked.
After what happened last time, Song Yan was worried that Yueyue might have psychological trauma, so he spent a lot of time chatting with her every day.
Yueyue now chooses where to sleep every night.
She needs to think about whether to sleep with her older sister and grandmother, or with her third aunt and aunt.
What she wanted most was to sleep with her mother. But her grandmother was always worried that she would kick her mother's stomach. So she could only sleep with her mother occasionally.
Yueyue's little suitcase is moved around almost every day.
Wei Ping didn't mind the trouble; every night he would ask Yueyue where she was sleeping so he could carry her luggage.
"Yes! But Auntie was still unhappy this morning!"
"I spent the whole night with her!" Yueyue said, frowning.
Song Yan wanted to laugh. Did her daughter think she was omnipotent?
This morning at breakfast, Song Yan and Wei Aiguo both noticed that Shen Ruomei seemed a bit down and was not saying a word.
Wei Aiguo raised an eyebrow at Song Yan, as if to say, "Is this still because of me?"
When Shen Ruomei came home from school, she brought Song Yan her notes from today's class.
Song Yan: "Why do you look so listless?"
“No!” Shen Ruomei said.
