Chapter 126 The Taste of Heaven
So I watched the first person buy one after another until the bell rang, and then other people rushed out, making the line even longer. The first person in front hadn't finished buying yet.
By the time the first batch was sold out, two meat buckets were already empty. Finally, it was the second person in line, who was furious.
I originally only wanted to buy a pound of stew meat, but after a while, I bought two pounds. If I didn't buy more, I would have waited so long in vain.
The food sold out very quickly. The people from the steel mill arrived late, and by the time they got there, there was nothing left. Lu Xiang closed her stall and went back to Liu Pang's office to check. She had made about 600 yuan.
After dividing the money, Fatty Liu took Lu Xiang directly to Liu Zhang's place: "Come on, I'll show you the house!"
The drive there was very fast.
Liu Zhang was, after all, the son of the director of the county steel mill, so anything that caught his eye was bound to be good. He had a few apartments in his collection, and this one, with its square layout, was a particularly good choice.
Liu Zhang said that he had bought the house for 1500 yuan, and if he wanted it, he would sell it to her for the same price.
This house is in a great location. The price of fifteen hundred yuan was a few years ago. If it were to be priced according to the current price, it would be at least thirteen hundred yuan, which is a bargain for Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang's eight hundred yesterday plus the six hundred today make a total of fourteen hundred, still one hundred short.
Fatty Liu generously lent her a hundred yuan. Then the two of them took her to transfer the property.
Having connections in the county was convenient. Soon, the house was in her name. Looking at the thin ticket, Lu Xiang's heart was pounding.
When I went back and told Fu Qinhui that I had bought another house, Fu Qinhui was surprised. Then he secretly gave Lu Xiang a thumbs up and said, "Great."
Lu Xiang's face was filled with joy. "I originally wanted to keep it and move out. But it's not good to keep moving out. Now the house is empty anyway, so I rent it out. It makes thirty yuan a year!"
She didn't care about the thirty dollars, but the house had to be occupied, and it would be bad for the house if it was always empty.
She didn't expect that she could rent it out so quickly, so she just put up a rental notice with a give-it-a-day attitude. However, as soon as she put it up, someone nearby took down the notice and wanted to rent it.
The man added, "I have a relative who is coming to the county for medical treatment and is worried about where to stay. This place is very close to our home, so we can take care of him when he comes back."
Thirty yuan is not expensive anyway, otherwise they would not be willing to stay in the guesthouse every day.
When Lu Xiang saw that the other party was so sincere, she agreed.
Fu Qinhui said: "Our Xiangxiang is so capable. Is she tired? If it's very hard, forget it."
Lu Xiang said: "It's not hard. Some people want to earn this much money but can't!" It's a pity that it's a short-term business and it won't last for a few days at best.
How can making money be tiring?
Lu Xiang worked for ten days straight, and eventually even the neighbors came to buy from her. She increased the quantity every day.
Fat Liu used a lot of resources, contracting all the pig offal in the county, but even then it still wasn't enough to sell. I heard that the fertilizer factory later had some complaints about this, asking why he didn't sell it to them?
Everyone wanted to try the pig head from the popular steel and spring factory. What kind of heavenly flavor was it? They could eat it for over ten days straight and still not get tired of it. Everyone spread the word about it, saying it was amazing. But there was no point in spreading the word; it was all sold out.
After ten days of work, Lu Xiang earned a total of 5,000 yuan. After paying Liu Pang back 100 yuan, she still had 4,900 yuan.
Lu Xiang deposited 4,000 yuan in the bank and took out 200 yuan from the remaining 900 yuan.
After returning to the village, I gave one hundred yuan to my mother-in-law and one hundred yuan to my parents.
Both of them were a little surprised and said no, but Lu Xiang insisted on giving it to her.
The two parents reluctantly agreed. Xiao Cailian is rich now, but she was afraid of being poor before, so she still likes money.
Seeing Lu Xiang coming back, she gave him another hundred yuan. How could she hold it in? She went out and boasted to others, saying that Lu Xiang went out to work and earned money and gave it back to her: "Where in the world can you find such a good daughter-in-law!"
The person next to him said sarcastically, "You praise Lu Xiang every day, aren't you afraid that the other daughters-in-law will be jealous?"
Xiao Cailian said: "Why are they jealous? They treat Lu Xiang better than I do."
For a moment, everyone was a little envious and said that Lu Xiang had fallen into a lucky nest.
There are some capable women in the village who still suffer from their mothers-in-law's anger after marriage. Unlike Xiao Cailian, she treats Lu Xiang like her own daughter.
After Lu Xiang returned, Fatty Liu also gave him some news: "There's a quota for buying refrigerators this year! There are 200-liter, 300-liter, and 400-liter refrigerators, selling for 500, 1,000, and 1,500 respectively.
Electrical appliances are still given preferential prices by their factory. If you buy them normally, you will have to pay double the price.
After all, these days, only rich people can afford a refrigerator.
Lu Xiang thought about it and decided that 200 liters was still too small. She ordered 300 liters for 1,000 yuan and went to the bank to transfer the money to him.
Fatty Liu said, "They will deliver it specially for her. Leave the address in the village, but it will take at least a month for delivery!" This made Lu Xiang mentally prepared.
The roads in the countryside are difficult to navigate, and deliveries have to be made by car, one order at a time. I don't know how much inventory is already overstocked at the refrigerator factory.
After Lu Xiang came back, she rested for a few days. Although she made money, she was indeed tired.
After returning, the village chief found Lu Xiang and said, "Go check out the vegetable greenhouse."
Lu Xiang went over to take a look, and when she arrived she found that some other village cadres had also come.
The village cadres only knew about this vegetable greenhouse, where an old professor was conducting research in a mysterious way.
They had never been there before, and when they came in, they found eggplants, beans, peppers, and other vegetables growing there. It was like a large vegetable garden, with more than 30 varieties.
As expected of an old professor, he is really capable and can even research out-of-season things.
Many of them are from different seasons, and these people's eyes light up when they see them.
Winter is coming soon, the temperature is starting to drop, and everyone is starting to wear thicker clothes.
The villagers were accustomed to vegetables, but seeing out-of-season vegetables was new to them. No one dared to touch them, fearing they would spoil the delicate produce. The village chief was also delighted. Their village had these out-of-season vegetables, and other villages were sure to be jealous.
The village chief said: "When the vegetables have grown, we will send some to all the county leaders to make them happy!" The results came out in just one year!
It would definitely leave a lasting impression on their village. They still have some autumn vegetables now. When they run out of vegetables, they'll be able to sell these things. They'll have pricing power over off-season vegetables and can sell as much as they want.
