Chapter 29: Bell Soldiers

29 Bell Soldier

Zhong Bing used to sell melon seeds, which made him some profit, otherwise he wouldn't have been willing to buy two tea eggs from Shen Yiyi to satisfy his hunger.

It's just that the profit is very low.

Moreover, melon seeds have low technical content, and many people are selling them, so the competition is fierce.

He sells from morning till night and only makes 20 to 30 yuan a month, which is quite good in the melon seed industry.

But Shen Yiyi's tea leaf eggs shocked him directly!

I kept thinking yesterday, if he put the energy he put into selling sunflower seeds into selling tea eggs, could he make more?

Because it can be sold not only in the night market, but also in the morning market.

And Shen Yiyi also showed him the way. Couldn't he sell it in front of the factory?

Shen Yiyi said, "I went to the morning market to sell once, and just as I finished selling, it was time for the workers to go to work, so I went to the factory gate to sell. After selling, I went to the family compound to sell. I took a break at noon, and I could go to sell once or twice in the evening. I could sell a lot in a day."

Zhong Bing immediately said, "Sister, can I sell tea eggs with you?"

"Okay, how much do you want to take today?" Shen Yiyi asked.

"Take ten kilograms first?" Zhong Bing asked.

Shen Yiyi said, "Where is your home? I'll send you 20 kilograms directly. If 10 kilograms is not enough for you to sell."

Zhong Bing is a very smart man. Ten kilograms of tea leaf eggs are definitely not enough to sell.

Zhong Bing was a little embarrassed: "My house is quite dirty and messy."

"It's okay. Is it far?" Shen Yiyi didn't care.

"Not far, just ten minutes."

Shen Yiyi pushed her bicycle and walked with him, chatting as they came over.

She wanted to employ Zhong Bing, so she wanted to find out about his family situation.

But Zhong Bing's family situation was really unexpected.

His father used to work in a mine, but something happened to him and he died, but he received compensation.

But his mother didn't stay and remarried. So he lived with his grandparents, but his grandmother also passed away last year, and now only the two of them are left.

Zhong Bing was selling melon seeds, and Grandpa Zhong was picking up broken ones.

Because of this, the house is quite messy.

Grandpa Zhong is not at home right now. He is out.

Shen Yiyi came over to identify the place and said, "We sell food, so we have to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. We don't just make a quick sale, we still have to focus on word of mouth."

Zhong Bing said hurriedly: "I know, don't worry, sister, I understand this principle!"

"Okay, I'll get you some tea eggs." Shen Yiyi said.

I went straight home and got 20 kilograms of tea leaf eggs, which I sent over in a clean plastic bucket.

"I'll leave these two plastic buckets here for you. When I deliver goods to you in the future, you'll have a place to put them." Shen Yiyi said.

Zhong Bing said, "Okay, how much is the total? I'll settle it for you."

"Let's talk about the money later. Once your tea leaf eggs are on the right track, it won't be too late for us to settle the matter. If these tea leaf eggs don't sell well, I'll give these to you." Shen Yiyi said with a smile.

After saying that, she rode her bike back home. Her family was still waiting for her to have lunch.

When Grandpa Zhong came back, he heard from his neighbors that his grandson had brought home a very beautiful woman.

Upon hearing this, the old man hurried back with a bag of waste, but no one was seen.

"Your Aunt Cai said you brought back a beautiful woman?" Grandpa Zhong asked hurriedly, and he couldn't help coughing because of his excitement.

"Grandpa, why are you so excited? That's my boss, and he brought me some tea eggs." Zhong Bing patted him on the back to calm him down, and quickly explained.

"Ah? Not your type?" Grandpa Zhong couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Zhong Bing said, "No, no, don't get me wrong. Sister Yi is married. She is a military wife and her husband is a soldier."

During the ten minutes she was home, Shen Yiyi also introduced herself.

It's very rude to ask about others without telling yourself.

Master Zhong sighed, "I thought you had improved and made great progress."

"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm only 21 years old, and I make my own money now. Don't worry, these tea leaf eggs will definitely sell well!" said Zhong Bing.

Grandpa Zhong said, "I don't know when my old bones will fail, so I want to see you get married before I die."

Zhong Bing hurriedly said: "Master, please don't say such things. You will live a long life..."

Zhong Bing's twenty kilograms of tea leaf eggs were all sold out from this afternoon to the next morning.

If Shen Yiyi hadn’t known that he would definitely sell out, and sent him another pot before going to the morning market today, Zhong Bing would have no tea leaf eggs to sell at the factory gate.

Shen Yiyi was also very busy. She didn't have time to come to the Zhong family until she sold her third pot of tea leaf eggs of the day.

Zhong Bing was very happy when he saw her coming, "Sister Yi!"

After Shen Yiyi's reminder yesterday, he did a thorough cleaning last night and the house was clean and many problems were solved.

Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Have all the tea leaf eggs been sold out?"

"All sold out!" Zhong Bing was also a little excited!

From yesterday till now, he has sold 30 kilograms of tea leaf eggs, which means he can earn 6 yuan, but how long has it been?! Today is not even over yet!

Shen Yiyi knew that Zhong Bing would never let him down, so she smiled and said, "Give me another 20 kilograms?"

"Okay!" Zhong Bing nodded and asked, "Sister, can you give me 40 kilograms of tea eggs that day?"

"As long as you can sell it, I can cook 50 kilograms for you." Shen Yiyi said.

"We need 40 kilograms now, and maybe 50 kilograms in the future," Zhong Bing said with a smile.

Shen Yiyi told him not to be anxious and to take it slow.

"We can't take it slow. There will definitely be more people selling tea leaf eggs in the future. We have to take advantage of this time and make as much money as we can." Zhong Bing said seriously.

He could be said to be one of the earliest people to sell melon seeds. In the past, few people did this, but fortunately, he was from a poor family and he always worked very hard.

So in the beginning, he made a lot of money.

The reason why he is still so poor is that his grandmother is in poor health and all his money is spent on medicine and medical treatment.

But precisely because of his experience in selling sunflower seeds, Zhong Bing understood that if you have money, you have to make it quickly, because you never know when this opportunity will disappear.

Shen Yiyi smiled, "You are right, but you also need to combine work with rest. Remember that your body is your capital."

"Yes, I remember that."

Shen Yiyi went back and brought him another 20 kilograms of tea leaf eggs.

This time, Zhong Bing paid her all the money, including the money for the two plastic buckets, not a penny less.

Before going home, Shen Yiyi called Lin Dazhi, who happened to be in the commune.

Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Boss Lin, do you have any eggs in your chicken farm?"

"Of course, how much do you want?"

"Five hundred kilograms."

"So many? Are you sure?" Lin Dazhi on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised.

"I can still tease you. Just send it to me directly." Shen Yiyi smiled.

"No problem, I'll take it home for you tomorrow!"
