Chapter 46 Relatives from the Aunt's House
Song Quan delivers one more trip of water, earning three more yuan a month. He is very concerned about this matter.
"What do you want to do?"
Fang Mingche said, "You are engaged in bamboo weaving, right? You can only do the basics?"
It would be fine if he could only weave fences and baskets. The handsome young man Lao Li from the surrounding villages can do it. It does not require much technical skills. It will not attract tourists!
After hearing his words, Song Quan, who was sitting down to take a breath and drink tea, said, "Who are you looking down on? I can even weave the twelve zodiac signs."
You can look down on him, but you can't look down on his craftsmanship.
"Is it fast?"
"It's okay."
"Then what else can your handicraft cooperative do?"
"Paper cutting, dough figurines, shadow puppets, and revolving lanterns." Song Quan listed them all.
Fang Mingche said, "Can they all be done on the spot?"
"Yes. Some require tools, but they are not complicated."
"Then how are your sales?"
Song Quan shook his head. If the sales are good, will he come to deliver water?
"Then go back and ask your leader if he wants to organize some people to sell at my stall. There are so many people in the square."
If they come here to show their talents, his stall will become more popular. If he sells a few hundred more bowls of tea a day, Ah Yan will have more smiles on her face.
Business has been slow these days, and she is vomiting.
Song Quan looked at the square and saw that people were coming and going. This is really a good place to set up a stall.
However, more and more people are setting up stalls now, and it is not easy to get a good spot. Xiao Fang now has to come in advance to reserve a spot.
Moreover, if he sets up a stall next to Xiao Fang, in case foreigners come to see and ask, he can translate for them.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask. Wait for my news!"
If it really generates income, it will definitely be a good thing.
In the afternoon, Lin Yan came back with Teacher Gao and said happily, "Luckily, I have been reviewing for the past two years, and I have also intensively studied math, physics and chemistry in the past ten days. I passed the baseline test successfully! They also agreed that I could just take the materials and review at home. I brought back a lot of materials, and we will look at and do them together later. And I only need to pay one semester's tuition, which is more than fifty yuan."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay!"
After dinner, the two of them took the things that Lao Xie, the owner of a small restaurant, bought on the black market and took the bus to Lin Yan's cousin's house.
Lao Xie's family goes to the black market to buy things every day. Otherwise, where would he get so much meat and vegetables to cook for the guests?
Just ask him to bring things and pay a handling fee.
Fang Mingche and his friends bought a bottle of Moutai, a bag of White Rabbit candy, a bottle of malted milk, and a few pounds of apples. It's very impressive!
When they arrived at their aunt's house, their cousin Xiao Gang, who was still in middle school, saw them, put down his pen and hurried out to greet them, "Cousin, this is..."
"This is your brother-in-law and niece. Yanyan, call uncle!"
Yanyan looked up and shouted, "Hello, uncle--"
"Good boy! Mom, Dad, cousin and brother-in-law are here." Xiao Gang smiled at Fang Mingche as a greeting.
Their aunt and uncle were winding balls of yarn in the house.
Their uncle spread out the washed yarn with both hands, and their aunt sat in front of him and wound it.
Lin Yan and Fang Mingche brought the children in, and their aunt hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll have to make some noodles for you. Xiao Gang, go and make noodles for each of you."
Every household cooks for everyone, and no one has rich food.
If you come at the last minute and don't have any food, you can only make noodles.
Why bring so many things?
She heard that her cousin's ex-husband brought the child to BJ. She didn't expect that he would come to her place.
Lin Yan hurriedly said, "Aunt, we have eaten, we have eaten. Uncle--"
Uncle nodded.
Fang Mingche put the things on the table, "Aunt, uncle, this is a little gift."
Uncle stood up, but he still had the wool in his hands, and was about to call his son over.
Lin Yan sat over and took the remaining wool from his hand to her own. Then she sat down and helped her cousin to wind the wool ball.
Uncle sat over, "Xiao Fang, what's the matter with you? Do you want the child's mother to persuade your father?"
He thought that his elder brother-in-law still disagreed.
Xiao Gang went to mix sugar, boil water, and make tea. Guests are guests. What's more, they are relatives and brought so many things.
Fang Mingche said, "That's not necessary. Grandpa Yanyan has already agreed that as long as I get into college, we will remarry. I came here today because I want to trouble you with something."
The uncle looked at the gifts on the table and said, "It looks like it's a big deal. I dare not take on all the responsibility. Tell me what it is first."
Fang Mingche said that he and his wife set up a tea stand in Tiananmen Square.
The business was good at first, but now there are several similar stalls, and the business is greatly affected.
"I just want to ask if there are any unsalable goods in the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative. I want to wholesale them and resell them using that stall to make a little profit. If you don't need the receipt, it should be possible to sell them. BJ House, it's not easy. You really need money everywhere!"
The cousin said in surprise: "Can I really set up a stall to do business?"
Lin Yan nodded, "Of course, aunt. I went to the street office to register and was praised. Moreover, now there are many streets and alleys in the square that have car repair stalls, shoe repair stalls, fruit and vegetable stalls, etc. "
Xiao Gang brought tea to Fang Mingche and Lin Yan, and then went to the side to take care of Yanyan drinking sugar water.
Lin Yan couldn't help but say: "Xiao Gang is much more decent than Lin Yi."
The cousin said: "Lin Yi is also spoiled by your mother."
One son and one daughter, the daughter is as beautiful as a flower. Her sister-in-law actually coaxed her daughter to go to the countryside.
If Xiao Fang hadn't rescued her, would Yan have been able to come back so intact?
Lin Yan said, "My dad actually spoils her. His girlfriend requires him to have a formal job and the betrothal gift must be three times the price of a ring. Lin Yi went home and made a fuss, but my dad still agreed."
The uncle remained silent while the aunt and niece were talking. He might be responsible for what Fang Mingche said.
Fang Mingche saw him reaching for a cigarette, so he quickly took out his cigarette and gave it to his uncle. Then he struck a match to light it for him.
The uncle took a few puffs and said, "The supply and marketing cooperatives are unsalable. Can you still sell them? Once they leave the warehouse, they cannot be returned."
It is indeed possible to do so, otherwise it will be troublesome to pile them up in the warehouse.
Some things were not sold out last year, but similar products planned to be sold this year will be delivered on schedule according to the planned quantity. The unsalable goods piled up in the warehouse do take up some space.
It is impossible to distribute them as welfare. In that case, someone will definitely not sell them out on purpose in order to share the things next time.
Fang Mingche nodded, "I know. At worst, I can just ship it back to my hometown and sell it. I'll say it's from the BJ Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so it'll definitely sell. It's just a little troublesome!"
He only used one thousand yuan as capital. If he really lost money, it would only be the income of the big bowl tea stall for two or three months.
But the chance of making money is still relatively high, it's worth a gamble.
