Arrive at the front--
Ah Chen glanced around at the still bustling crowd of customers, then walked towards the stove.
"Brother Chen, I'll clear that table first and serve you a new one." Amei came over carrying a small earthenware bowl.
Ah Chen waved his hand, indicating that he should save room for something else, and then whispered to the girl, "That table from earlier is free! Consider it a meal for that idiot on his way out."
"Okay, I understand!"
The girl wasn't surprised at all, and readily agreed with a smile. She then took a set of drinks from the side and gave them to Ah Chen.
"Brother Chen, you should try it. When Lanmiao brought the goods over, she said this was a new product this year and it tastes great."
Ah Chen looked at the set of four small white bottles in his hand.
AD calcium milk?
"How much does a set of four of these 220ml bottles cost?"
A-mei held up a slender finger, "Four pieces."
Forehead--
Ah Chen thought it was too high, after all, eastern Guizhou is a very poor area!
Those who enter the Miao village are rich, so if we don't fleece them, who should we fleece?
Amei whispered to Achen, "Brother Achen, we don't have enough of these; they're often out of stock."
Ah Chen knew that this product was only launched in 1996 and was very popular!
Chu Yanzhou mentioned that when he saw it that day, a set of these would cost at least four yuan.
Logically, prices in the Miao village should have been raised further, but because everyone is not well-off, it would indeed be difficult to sell if prices were raised.
Seeing that there were many people, and worried that those who understood their Miao language would hear her if she spoke, A-mei pulled A-chen to the position where she was in charge of collecting money.
There are wooden planks blocking the way, so people can see when they come.
Then he said, "The cost price of a small bottle is six cents, so we can make a profit of one dollar and sixty cents from this small batch."
"Also, Brother Chen, look at this cabinet, there are many different kinds of cigarettes, and there are cigarettes underneath. Do you want a smoke? I'll get you some! There's the kind of Hongtashan that Brother Yi mentioned, and Asima too."
As they were talking, the girl handed him a bag as well.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "Brother doesn't smoke, put it back."
When Ah Chen asked how much he could earn in a day, Ah Mei asked, "Is it all of it, or just what's on the shelf?"
"Everything, including food."
"Um--"
A-mei said, "We sell more than 500 every day, sometimes up to 1,000. It's just that there are too many people and we can't keep up."
"Do you like this kind of life?"
"I love it, all of this is thanks to you, Brother Chen!"
"That's because you're capable! In the future, Brother Chen will find you better opportunities. We can't let such beautiful girls do this kind of smoky and fiery work every day."
"Thank you, Brother Chen! Brother Chen, my name is Ayou."
"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll remember that."
Although Ayou is here, she is not a girl from Quedong Village, but from another branch.
Regardless of which branch of the family the girls belonged to, they all felt very friendly towards Achen.
So, when Ayou was busiest, as soon as she heard that Achen was free, she dragged him along to deposit money, since it was over three thousand.
Amei is alone, and she's worried about losing it.
The bank is located in a central position within this row of stilted buildings.
A branch of the Agricultural Bank of China.
Not only were Miao people guarding the entrance, but there were also public security and special security personnel.
Such strictness is not without reason, after all, during the Miao New Year, the Miao people release a large quantity of various sacred fruits.
The wealthy merchants who come to buy the fruit have to transfer money, often in amounts of tens of thousands.
Not only that--
The Miao people who run small businesses every day earn money, but they are also worried about being robbed in large groups, so they usually start depositing their money after 3 p.m.
This is not--
When Ah Chen entered, there were probably more than a hundred Miao people, each of them clutching their bags tightly.
The design of the bank counter was still considered reasonable for that era.
Five or six service points have been opened, in addition to two large-amount windows and one VIP window.
The banks in Quedongzhai have deposits that surpass those in the town, and even in the county.
Even in the city, the amount of funds is not necessarily as large as here.
Therefore, at this bank branch, only amounts over 100,000 are considered large sums.
VIP memberships require a minimum investment of 300,000 RMB to process there.
During the Miao New Year, the branch manager of the city branch personally oversees the operations at this branch.
"Why are there still so many people! Brother Chen, we have to queue up!" Ayou prepared to join the queue and told Chen that it was safe once they got here.
Ah Chen said, "Wait a minute, let me see if I know anyone here. If I do, I'll get you a VIP card, that will be faster."
"Hey, hey, hey... Brother Chen, come back."
Ayou wanted to bring Achen back, since she only had a little over three thousand yuan to deposit, and could only deposit it here, not at the large deposit or VIP deposit places.
But who knew--
Ah Chen tiptoed over there, then immediately came back and pulled Ah You towards the VIP area.
But as soon as Ah Chen appeared in the bank, all the uncles, brothers, and sisters recognized him.
I didn't notice earlier because Achen wasn't wearing his Miao sword.
At that moment, everyone looked at him excitedly and greeted him.
"Shh!"
Ah Chen hurriedly told everyone not to reveal themselves!
Seeing this, Uncle and Brother both laughed, wondering if Ah Chen was going to cause trouble again.
"Brother Chen, this won't work, they won't do it."
"Don't say anything! Give me the passbook and the money, and let's see how the bank staff here are handling things."
There were many Miao people queuing at the other counters, but at the VIP counter...
When Ah Chen arrived with Ah You, a bald, wealthy businessman had just finished his business and there was no one in line, so he went straight up to him.
"Fill out the remittance form first."
The staff member, in his thirties and dressed in work clothes, spoke curtly. He glanced at Achen and, noticing the absence of a Miao knife, could basically confirm he wasn't a Miao person, so—
He simply placed the form on the table and continued playing with his pen.
After all, what Miao person doesn't have a Miao knife after the age of sixteen?
As for this attitude, it might ruin him!
Sure enough, upon seeing this, Ah Chen frowned slightly and asked directly, "Is this the kind of service your bank provides? You don't even ask the customer if they are depositing or withdrawing before giving them a deposit slip. Does this so-called VIP window only handle deposits and not withdrawals?"
The staff were stumped by Ah Chen's question!
Clearly, they hadn't expected the people who came to the Miao family to buy sacred fruit to be so impulsive.
You know, which of those wealthy businessmen didn't eagerly ask for the remittance slip when they arrived, speak to him politely, and then inquire about the fruit orchard while filling it out?
Unlike Mu Achen, who speaks neither Miao nor the local Han language, but rather fluent Mandarin.
Therefore, the staff member naturally became arrogant.
"How much do you want to withdraw? I won't process your order if it's less than 300,000."
How much cash do you have here?
"Most people can't take it all."
Is it impossible for an average person to collect it all?
Ah Chen smiled. "Alright! If I remember correctly, your bank has to work overtime during the Miao New Year! I'll withdraw 300,000 first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Chen took out the Agricultural Bank of China card that Uncle Agan had given him from the Nine You Space.
