She had already thought of these excuses. Sooner or later, others would find out that Sister Xiuhong was selling herbs.
After hearing this, Aunt Wang smiled happily and said, "Qingqing, you are truly conscious. Contributing to the country is our duty, but improving the lives of military dependents and giving them a job is also something we, as families of cadres, should consider."
"I heard from Xiaomei that you guys have already sold it in the county once?"
Yesterday Xiaomei only told her how to do it, but didn't say how much it could be sold for.
The army is surrounded by mountains. If my sister-in-law doesn't have a job while accompanying the army, she will have something to do and won't have the time to deal with so many trivial matters.
Not only does it give you something to do, but it also allows you to earn money to supplement your family income. Which military wife wouldn't be happy? I'm afraid they'll be scrambling to get it.
Aunt Wang thought about it last night and felt that this was a very good thing, but Lin Qingqing left early the next morning and she had no time to tell him. After work, she hurried to the military compound.
Lin Qingqing: "We have this herb called Wodong right now. It's quite difficult to process, takes time, and involves many steps. We dry it and sell it to state-owned pharmacies for 1.3 yuan per pound."
She could already see what Aunt Wang was thinking.
This may lead to the situation that after teaching the soldiers in the lower-level societies, one has to teach the military wives in the compound.
So we can’t let Aunt Wang think that this is an easy way to make money.
Aunt Wang ignored Lin Qingqing's previous words and only heard the price of one yuan and thirty cents. She opened her mouth wide and said, "Oh my goodness, this can be sold for one yuan and thirty cents per catty?"
Lin Qingqing nodded. "Sisters Xiuhong and Hongyi are now working together to get herbs. They work non-stop day and night and can get more than a pound a day."
Aunt Wang opened her mouth even wider.
It's more than one pound a day, which is more than one yuan. Isn't it more than what those sisters-in-law in the military factory earn?
Seeing that Aunt Wang was completely lost in her own fantasy, Lin Qingqing reminded her, "Aunt Wang, this herb can only sell for over a dollar because it requires a lot of processing. Not all herbs can be sold for just a dollar and a half per pound."
Aunt Wang's eyes sparkled. "That's all right. I thought you were selling these herbs for a few cents a pound, but now you can only sell them for a fraction of thirty cents. They're all good stuff."
"Qingqing, when you're done with the community, can you teach the families in the compound how to identify herbs and sell them?"
Lin Qingqing: Can I still say no?
"I can teach you, but my sisters-in-law have different cultural backgrounds, so some learn faster than others. There are also a few problems, so you'll have to figure out how to solve them when the time comes."
She had to make it clear first that she was only responsible for teaching, not managing.
Don't do good things and then be blamed behind your back.
Aunt Wang looked at Lin Qingqing anxiously: "It's okay, tell me, what's the problem?"
Lin Qingqing pondered for a moment before unleashing the questions she had been thinking about: "First, what if my sister-in-law can't learn to be angry? Second, what if she only picks the ones that fetch the highest price in order to make more money? Third, herbs are wild, so the more you pick, the less there are. What if my sister-in-law throws away the bad herbs, wasting them? Fourth, what if the herbs she buys are substandard and the state-owned pharmacies won't accept them?"
"Auntie, there are so many sisters-in-law in our compound. It's hard for me to teach them all, so I don't have the energy to take care of so many things."
Lin Qingqing let's be frank first, she is not the kind of person who likes to take on things.
