When it comes to making money, everyone loves it. Qiu Jianshe has tasted the sweetness. He receives two boxes of eggs from the tricycle driver every day. In the evening, he delivers the boxes back to the girl's home.
I still go to the team to collect eggs, but not as often as before, only twice a week.
After coming back, he and Li Qingmei went out to practice setting up stalls.
"Comrade, I've been looking for you for days. Your eggs are bigger and more delicious than those elsewhere. Everyone at home says they're different..."
Qiu Jianshe gave the job of serving female customers to Li Qingmei.
"Big sister, the urban management chased us away a few days ago. We are mobile vendors and don't have a fixed place. Where is your house? I will take it to your door later."
Li Qingmei was quick and nimble. She weighed the eggs and put them into her net bag. "Please make the net bag thicker. If these were smaller eggs from other people's houses, they would have leaked out."
"I was thinking about it the other day. I turned around and put the two net bags together. Oh, by the way, besides eggs, what else do you have?"
Seeing that the couple were neatly dressed, smart, and had no dirt under their nails like the ordinary country folk, she was willing to take care of a little more of their business.
Li Qingmei was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "You asked at the right time. I have half a bag of millet and dried dates. Do you need anything?"
"How much are your red dates and millet?"
Li Qingmei quickly opened her pocket and asked her to check the quality. "This millet is 1.4 cents per pound. Since you're a regular customer, I'll charge you 1.35 cents. Red dates are selling for 70 cents per pound in the market now, so I'll give you a discount, 68 cents per pound. How much do you want?"
The woman saw that Li Qingmei's open pockets contained millet and red dates, both of which were of better quality than those sold on the open market, and the prices were also fair. "I want all your millet and dates, but you have to give me the pockets too. I didn't plan to go out today, so I didn't bring anything with me."
Li Qingmei glanced at Qiu Jianshe and replied, "How about this? Ask my shopkeeper to deliver it to you. Otherwise, even if you have a bag, you'll have to carry it back yourself. It's more convenient for him to ride a bicycle..."
You don't have to fold out a pocket, and you can still have a good experience. Li Qingmei couldn't remember the word her daughter said for a moment, so she just wanted to send the Buddha to the west.
"That's fine, thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Qiu Jianshe pushed Li Qingmei's bicycle over, draped the cloth bag over the front beam, and left with the buyer. Li Qingmei remained where she was, guarding the bicycle with the egg crate tied to the back seat, wondering if she should imitate the others and shout a few times...
Qiu Yuling came over after get off work to see how her parents' free trade business was going.
Li Qingmei smiled so hard that her teeth showed, "It's great. Beijing is really a great place. If I were in my hometown, I would definitely not be able to earn this much money."
She was completely confident in her daughter, and pulled her hand into her room, "It's been just under three months since the end of the first month of the lunar year, and I've earned over two thousand. Your father and I have decided that we're not in a hurry to go back home.
After your third brother and his wife graduate this year, if they are assigned jobs and the kids don't need us to take care of them anymore, we will go out and buy a small yard to live on our own.
It would be best if it had a backyard where I could raise a few chickens and grow some vegetables. When you guys are on break, you can come over and have something to eat and drink..."
In the past, she would never have thought about buying a yard. She would have saved the money she had until she grew old.
But Qiu Yuling gave her a new idea. She knew that her daughter was far-sighted and that nothing she persisted in doing would fail or fail. It would be better for her to learn from others than to go out and learn from her daughter.
"Buying a yard? That's great. So, do you mean you don't want the one I bought for you?"
"No, save it for Nannan's dowry, or wait until your parents-in-law come over to live with you. Your father and I have our own hands and feet and can earn a living."
Another one, given by her daughter, she always feels short of breath.
"That's fine. I happen to have a yard. I want three thousand dollars. It's an absolutely great location. The best part is that the back wall faces the street. I can open some doors and windows on the street side and turn it into a small shop or something."
She had already had her eye on that place, but the owner had only recently contacted her. It met Li Qingmei's requirements: a large yard, and most importantly, a front and back yard. She could build two rooms next to the backyard wall, either as a shop or renting them out to sell breakfast. It wouldn't interfere with the main house, nor would it affect the life in the front...
Qiu Yuling gave her a brief description. Li Qingmei was a little impatient. "I'm still short of more than 800. How about you take me to have a look first?"
Just go when you say you want to go. Li Qingmei went over to take a look and found that it was just as her daughter said. Moreover, the yard next to it had doorways dug out on the side facing the street, just as her daughter said.
"They did it quickly enough." Li Qingmei thought she was ahead of others.
Qiu Yuling explained, "This was originally the back door of the courtyard. Later, it was blocked off for some reasons. Then, for personal reasons, the state took it back and rented it out to other people. For convenience, it was opened again.
The house I’m showing you is relatively well-preserved, and the key point is that the owner is eager to see cash, so he didn’t just leave it here and wait for the price to be raised…” Those who have some skills and family background are scared and just want to take advantage of this opportunity to cash in and leave.
"Then my money isn't enough, is it? I was thinking of negotiating with someone and giving them 2,200 first, and then getting the remaining 800 next month."
When Li Qingmei heard this, she was instantly disappointed. How could she come up with eight hundred yuan in a short time? Eight hundred yuan was not a small amount. In the past, their family could not earn more than one thousand yuan in a whole year.
Now that I have a business, I am making some money, but it’s not like I can just make so much money.
Qiu Jianshe only mentioned that Qiu Yuling sold a broken bowl to buy a yard, and Li Qingmei didn't think much of it. She figured that if she sold a few thousand and scraped together enough to buy the yard, there wouldn't be much left.
He had never thought that his daughter had any extra money, so he decided to give up the idea. "Let's wait and see, maybe if there's a yard that costs a thousand yuan, I'll take a look."
"Do you like it or not? Just tell me clearly." If she doesn't want to buy it, then she will buy it.
"I like it. The location is great, everything's good. Like you said, even if we don't open a shop ourselves, we can still make a lot of money by just tidying up the doors and windows and renting them out."
According to her understanding of the market conditions, if she rents a room for five dollars, she can earn ten dollars a month just by doing nothing. Even if she and Qiu Jianshe do not need support from their children, it is enough for them to live.
What's more, they are still very ambitious and think that the job of bicycle peddler has great prospects, and they plan to do it well.
