"I asked the family that raises rabbits, and he told me." Lin Su said.
"Thank you, Huzi." Li Aihong originally thought that the rabbit cage he was talking about was just a child's toy, but she didn't expect him to make it so well. "You have such a skill. If you do some carpentry, it would be quite profitable."
"Let me take a look first." Lin Su said with a smile.
He does know a lot of skills, but carpentry is just for convenience. If you want the little one to not have to worry about money in the future, you can't rely on the strength of one person alone.
The current environment does seem difficult, but it is also the best time for the country to open up its policies and go into business. If you seize this opportunity, you can definitely become one of the first people in the country to become rich.
If he just wanted to start his own business, he needed to earn enough money first, but he didn't need to tell the adults about this, because although he mentioned that he was twelve years old, he was still just a child in the eyes of adults.
"Okay." Li Aihong wrapped half a rabbit for him before he left. "Thank you so much for today. Come to our house for dinner often in the future."
"Thank you, Aunt Li." Lin Su took the half boiled and roasted rabbit.
Lin Su also bought all the necessary grains, oils, rice and flour for the family. The stove was ready and only needed to be repaired before it could be used. The various dishes were generally grown by farmers themselves, and Lin Su bought them directly. He was also willing to spend money on eggs and milk.
Since there is little milk now, Lin Su bought goat milk and used peanuts to remove the fishy smell. It’s not that he is extravagant, but his body is already malnourished. If he doesn’t supplement nutrition well, it will be a joke if he grows too short in the future.
Other dark histories are acceptable, but this kind of dark history is absolutely unacceptable.
He bought some goat's milk himself and sent a bottle to the Li family every day. The goat's milk, which had been free of fishy smell, had a rich aroma. The little guy already had a milky aroma, and he looked even softer after drinking the goat's milk.
This was a good thing for Li Xiujian, so Mother Li no longer stopped him. She would just invite Lin Su to have breakfast with her every time, and they became more familiar with each other after a few interactions.
Li Aihong is a tailor and interacts with her neighbors frequently, so naturally she saw the row of rabbit hutches.
Rabbits grow fast. The little ones who were not weaned started running around the cage in just a few days. They were very pleasing to the eye.
The adults couldn't help but ask a few questions after seeing this. Li Aihong thought of many ways out for Lin Su and told him the truth.
With this, Lin Su took on a few carpentry jobs. He first made small shelves, then large cabinets and drawers, and earned about a hundred yuan from them.
After making his first profit, Lin Su stopped doing it and stopped taking any work.
Li Aihong didn't ask much about his affairs, but she thought that this child was a man of his own ideas.
There is a market in the county town every month. Every time this day comes, the villagers go to the market as if they had agreed.
This place is not far from the county town, only ten miles away, which would only take a few minutes to drive in later generations. However, in this place and at this time, people went to the market early in the morning, and those with families would walk there. The better families had an ox cart, and they would occasionally give villagers a ride on the cart.
There were limited ox carts, so the business took off. Lin Su spent five cents to rent a seat for himself. Sitting on the ox cart, he could see people walking to the market all the way.
The adults were fine, but some of the children were tired and couldn't help but yelp when they saw the ox cart passing by. Five cents doesn't sound like a lot, but if you live frugally, it can buy a meal, so few people would spend it on hiring a cart.
The little guy originally wanted to come, but Mother Li was busy. She was obviously worried about Lin Su taking care of such a young child alone. Going to the market is probably the most interesting thing for children of this era. The fact that he couldn't come to the market made the usually well-behaved little guy shed two tears. It was only when Lin Su promised to bring him candied haws when he went back that the little guy stayed at home obediently.
When he arrived at the market, Lin Su made an appointment with the driver to go back, then put on his backpack and went into the market.
There were huge crowds of people, and it was bustling everywhere. There were many vendors selling daily necessities, and there was also a lot of food, such as fried cakes, candied haws, noodles, and sugar men. These foods were not very interesting to people in later generations, but they made people who used to only eat pickles willing to spend money to try them.
This era is indeed full of business opportunities. Lin Su bought a lot of things, including sugar, hawthorn, lampshades, and nail clippers. They were all wholesale items. He bought large quantities and they were cheap. He carried a full basket, had a meal here, bought a string of candied haws to take with him, and then got on the ox cart to go back.
People don’t have much money nowadays, so they spend a lot of time buying things that are in front of them. If they really need something, they will just wait until next month.
"You bought a lot of things." The coachman took a look.
"Yes, they are all needed." Lin Su said.
The money we have now is far from enough, and the child’s body has many limitations in various aspects, but there is no need to rush everything. It is also fun to watch the little one grow up slowly at this age.
"Uncle, can I hire your car and make another trip in a week? I'll give you fifty cents." Lin Su said when he arrived in the village.
"Okay, Huzi is a big money maker now," the man chuckled, "just come to me if you need anything."
"Okay." Lin Su jumped out of the car with his things on his back.
Although his journey was bumpy, it was easy enough, unlike other people who walked all the way home. It was already dark when they got home, and they were exhausted from carrying their things all the way.
After returning the items to his own home, Lin Su knocked on the Li family's door with the candied haws. As soon as he knocked, he heard excited voices and the sound of clattering footsteps: "Brother Huzi, Brother Huzi!!! Mom!"
"Here I am." Li Aihong obviously couldn't hold back her laughter, "I'm craving for candied haws."
The door was opened, and the little guy called out "Brother", his eyes fixed on the candied haws in Lin Su's hand.
Lin Su smiled and handed him the candied haws, saying, "Be careful of sore teeth."
"Tanghulu, Tanghulu." The little guy was obviously a little happy, but when it was handed to his mouth, he raised it up and said, "Mommy, eat it first."
Li Aihong patted his head and said, "Mom doesn't like sweet food, Tangtang can eat it by himself."
"Brother Huzi." The little guy held the candied haws to Lin Su.
[Host, you're second.] 06 said.
[When he comes of age, I'll be number one.] Lin Su said.
It would be fine if he was jealous of other people, but the little guy was obviously very filial. This was his mother in this life, and Lin Su was not so stingy as to say that.
"Tangtang, eat it. Brother has already eaten." Lin Su said.
"Oh!" Li Xiutang's eyes lit up. It was finally his turn. He licked it and his eyes curved up. "So sweet."
