The first day of business is over, and everyone is exhausted. We were still a bit unprepared.
"Brother Liang, we need to hurry up with the recruitment. We need to get the people in as soon as possible."
Yu Yin rubbed her sore arms; she hadn't been active like this in a long time and felt a bit overwhelmed.
She felt that the money she had counted in one day was more than the total amount she had accumulated over the previous ten years. Now her mind was filled with all kinds of coins: one cent, five cents, ten cents, twenty cents, one yuan, five yuan... constantly swirling in her mind.
It was getting late, so Yu Yin told everyone to disperse and get some rest. They needed to restock early tomorrow morning, and the customer traffic was expected to be significant. She told everyone to spread the word about the free egg giveaway; don't underestimate the appeal of an egg.
Yu Yin and Lu Shurui carried the bags of money home with trepidation, fearing they might be robbed on the way.
I need to think of a way to deal with this tomorrow. It's not safe to flaunt so much loose change every day; it'll attract unwanted attention.
After dinner, there's still a big project waiting to be completed.
The family of six sat on the large bed in Yu Yin's room and began counting money—yes, counting money.
"An'an, you count the five-cent coins, Pingping counts the two-cent coins, slowly count the one-yuan coins, quickly count the five-yuan coins, Daddy counts the one-cent coins, and I'll count the rest. First, lay them flat, straighten them, tie them with a rubber band, and then count."
"knew."
The group, having received the order, began their operation. It was so much money! It was the first time they'd ever been so close to so much cash, and they were all quite excited.
"One, two, three..."
"Pooh……"
He quickly spat some saliva onto his fingers, which made Yu Yin grimac, and she quickly stopped him.
"Quickly, stop spitting, it's so unhygienic."
Yu Yin turned around and went downstairs. She found a few small sponges, soaked them in water, and brought them up for them to use.
Yu Yin, being a professional accountant, counted all the money first, then checked it twice before making a record.
"Children, do you need any help?"
"Need not."
They all have great perseverance. I don't know if it's because of the money, but the kids are full of energy and show no signs of fatigue.
They also spent the whole morning handing out flyers. An'an and Pingping even helped introduce the products, but their grandparents were so tired that they went to bed early.
Yu Yin stretched her limbs and suddenly felt old.
I looked in the mirror the other day and noticed I have crow's feet. I'm almost 30, and my child is already ten years old. Time really flies, and even the kids are making me old!
"Mom, I've finished counting. I counted twice!" Kuai Kuai was the first to raise his hand to indicate that he had finished counting.
"Mom, I've finished counting too, and I've counted twice." Slowly, the second person to raise their hand, may seem slow at times, but when it matters, Slowly is anything but slow.
Pingping and An'an finished counting their money one after another. They had more money, so they counted it more slowly.
"Now take turns counting to make sure the numbers are correct," Yu Yin issued another order, and everyone started working again.
Finally, after checking each person's work, it was confirmed that everyone was good at math and had not made any mistakes in counting.
Yu Yin tallied up the figures, and to her surprise, their first day's revenue was over two thousand yuan!
It's important to know that the local purchase price in Yunnan Province is not high. Even if Yu Yin pays the shipping costs herself, she can still make a much larger profit by dividing the dried goods into different grades and selling them in Shanghai.
Many people don't yet have this concept: similar products are sold at the same price.
Yu Yin categorized her items: large, complete pieces cost one price, smaller pieces cost another, and broken pieces cost yet another, generally divided into three levels.
After a day of trial sales, Yu Yin felt that customers were very receptive to this sales method. They chose different products based on their own circumstances and all felt that they had bought the right things, which made everyone happy.
"Kids, how do you feel after helping out all day? Are you tired?"
Yu Yin packed her things away and took the opportunity to talk to the children about some life lessons.
"I wasn't tired at first, and I was quite excited, but then I got a little tired," An'an said, expressing her feelings that making money was not an easy thing.
"It's not easy. You have to keep introducing it to others and deal with people who have a bad attitude." Pingping observed more closely and noticed the problem with the service attitude.
"It's not tiring, it's quite fun, I like it." Quickly experiencing the difference, he felt a great sense of accomplishment in introducing products to others and getting them to buy things.
"Tired, I don't like it." Manman's words are always so concise, he tries to say as few words as possible.
"Children, what Mom wants to say is that although earning money is not easy, we have earned a considerable amount of money today through our own efforts. In the future, you must remember that every penny you need must be earned through your own efforts. You cannot think of taking shortcuts. There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Yu Yin thought about some social news from later generations. Many young people, when they first enter society, want to enjoy good material conditions but don't want to put in the effort. As a result, many people take shortcuts, and once they take a wrong step, it's hard to turn back.
"You may not fully understand what your mother is saying, but remember this: as you grow up and become more independent, you will face many temptations. Think about it: the joy of counting money today comes from hard work, from every penny earned. Remember that feeling."
Following up on Yu Yin's words, Lu Shurui also explained some principles to the children.
Children may not fully understand or absorb this at this moment, but as parents, we must guide them throughout their growth so that they develop correct values and, regardless of wealth, become law-abiding and morally upright individuals.
"Mom, does that mean if we need money in the future, we can ask Mom and Dad for it, and not ask other people for it?"
Kuai Kuai's words left Yu Yin and Lu Shurui speechless, wondering if he intended to live off his parents for the rest of his life.
"Quickly, what Mom and Dad mean is that from now on we'll earn our own money and spend it ourselves. Do you still want Mom and Dad to support you for the rest of your life?"
Kuai Kuai was scolded by An An, but he wasn't angry and just laughed.
"Alright, kids, you've worked hard today. Go to sleep now, you'll have tasks to do tomorrow. Goodnight, my darlings!"
Goodnight, Mom and Dad!
The four children left their parents' room and went back to their own rooms to sleep.
"I'll deposit the larger denominations of money in the bank tomorrow morning, and keep the smaller denominations as working capital. I'll deposit them again before leaving get off work this afternoon. That way it will be safer."
Yu Yin and Lu Shurui chatted about these trivial matters, then yawned and prepared to go to sleep; they were really too tired.
"Go to sleep, don't think about it anymore, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
On a moonless night, it was pitch black, and the sound of snoring could be heard from inside the house; everyone was asleep.
