Chapter 236 Investment Crisis
The next day, the number of people going to work in the fields decreased significantly.
Early in the morning, you can hear the buzzing of tractors going to the county to pick up people.
Those selling duck feet all carried a large basin covered with a cover to prevent dirt, and went to the county to sell their goods.
There were so many people making duck feet that the whole village was filled with the delicious smell.
The people working in the fields also boasted to each other: "The duck feet we cook at home are really amazing. The soup is so delicious that it can even be used to soak the soles of shoes!"
The person next to him laughed and said, "Have you ever soaked the soles of your shoes?"
"My money-spending wife wanted to pour out the remaining sauce, but I couldn't bear to let her. So she cooked some noodles for me and dipped them in the sauce. The taste was incredible."
When the person next to him heard this, he quickly said, "What? You can still cook noodles? My family is bankrupt!" He immediately slapped his thigh in regret.
Lu Xiang said that they didn’t know how to preserve the marinade ingredients, and if they were kept for a long time they would go bad, so she suggested that they change them every day.
Everyone thinks it's thrown away once a day.
When I heard this today, I was surprised. Can it be eaten with noodles?
The man continued, "Of course it is. It has braised meat sauce and so many seasonings. It's so delicious. Pair it with two duck feet! Tsk..." As he spoke, his saliva was about to flow out.
The people next to him asked, "Why didn't you make any? Besides, it's good to have some at home. It can improve your life!"
The third brother said, "My family's money is managed by my wife. She doesn't want to pay the interest, so she didn't do it!" Hearing what they said, he was also greedy. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Seeing this, the people around hurriedly tried to persuade him: "It's all the same anyway, we're all making money."
That day, many people were waiting for the braised duck feet vendor to return. I wondered if so many people could make any money out there. He didn't return at noon, so we waited until the afternoon.
The vendors came back one after another. As soon as they entered the village, other people heard about it and immediately put down their hoes and went over to ask.
Unexpectedly, the man went straight home and started working.
Everyone hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is it selling well?"
The sister-in-law who came back said, "It sells well. I brought too little today!" She was still conservative and didn't dare to make too much for the first time, fearing that it wouldn't sell, so she only made 30 kilograms.
The people in the county were very happy to buy things. If they had never tasted it before, they would spend a dollar or two to buy it. It sold out quickly.
She bought a bus ticket to get some extra to sell tomorrow.
When the people around heard about it, they looked forward to their family members even more! They hoped that they could be as lucky as her and sell out everything.
Later on, they all came back one after another and sold very well.
They had never seen the way the county folks shopped. Just as Lu Xiang had said, as long as the county folks loved the food, they would spend whatever they could.
Chunhua had wanted to see everyone laugh at her. With so many people trying to sell the same thing, she probably wouldn't be able to sell it.
After asking around, I found that most of them were sold out, with only one or two households having ten or eight left, which was not wasted and was just right for the family to enjoy with wine.
Those who went out to sell braised duck feet all gained experience after going through this day.
Their tastes are not much different, but their sales speeds vary.
The most important secret is to find a good place and then be bold and courageous in promoting your products.
The villagers have a natural fear of the county, so if they want to start selling their wares, they need some mental fortitude. But I've gained experience this time. Next time, I plan to grab a spot and sell at the factory gate.
The whole village was bustling with activity, as if it had returned to the days of the collective.
The village chief was also happy. His son and daughter-in-law had sold all 50 kilograms of meat and bought him some sausages. Everyone was very pleased.
When Aunt Lu heard this, she snorted coldly, showing great disdain. They refused to make money lying down and insisted on getting up early and working late to earn money.
Ten days passed, and it was time for Aunt Lu to pay the interest, but my cousin still hadn't shown any movement.
Aunt Lu called my cousin directly and asked her to send the interest over.
When she fought with Lu Xiang, it was always the west wind that prevailed over the east wind, or the east wind prevailed over the west wind.
Now her influence is far less than Lu Xiang's, so she is just waiting for the interest money to arrive so that she can promote it well.
She was holding her breath, but no one answered the phone when she called her relatives.
When Aunt Lu returned home, she saw more than 30 people waiting for her to pay the interest.
Aunt Lu said, "My cousin is out on some business. Please wait for two days!"
"Why is this money so late?"
"That's right, I'm still waiting to use the money." Everyone was dissatisfied and grumbled.
Aunt Lu said, "Alright, everyone has problems. Why don't you trust me?"
Everyone thought about it and realized that the interest for the previous few months had been paid on time, so they didn't bother with the past few days and left together.
After these people left, Aunt Lu became anxious. After careful calculation, she realized that she had paid Sister Li's 200 yuan in advance, and she had also taken the money from the few people who asked for money back. In addition, she had not yet paid the money for buying soybean oil for the previous event.
Her cousin still owes her more than seven hundred yuan.
No matter what I say when we meet this time, I have to get my 700 yuan back.
Aunt Lu didn't have to ask for the interest every time, my cousin sent the money early. Today is the day, why hasn't she come yet?
Aunt Lu called twice more, but still couldn't get through. She couldn't wait any longer, and she didn't even want to send a message. She couldn't sit still, so she took a bus to the county town.
Now everyone is watching Lu Xiang help them make money, and if Aunt Lu fails now, she will be laughed at.
I just want to get the interest back quickly.
Aunt Lu went to her cousin's house in the county. But when she arrived, she found no one in the house and an old lady was sweeping the yard.
Aunt Lu quickly asked the old lady about her cousin.
The old lady said, "He moved out a week ago!"
When Aunt Lu heard this, she was terrified. Her heart was shaking, her breathing was gasping, her eyes were wide open, and her face was flushed red.
Seeing her like this, the old lady quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
Aunt Lu felt a chill in her heart: "How could this happen?" She had given her cousin a total of 10,000 yuan. What would she do now that this person was gone?
The old lady said, "She only rented the house for two months."
Aunt Lu was anxious: "Then where is she?" Before coming here, she was still thinking about the interest, now all she needs to do is give her the principal! If it's gone, how will she explain it to the villagers?
Aunt Lu still had a glimmer of hope in her heart: No, no, my cousin must have been delayed by something.
But why didn't he answer her call?
Now, as long as we can contact my cousin, everything will be easy to talk about. Aunt Lu's hands are getting colder and colder. I have a bad feeling in my heart.
The old lady said, “I don’t know!”
Aunt Lu's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. Only then did she realize that she and her cousin had always been in a one-way communication, and she knew nothing except an address in the county.
