Chapter 268 Cake
"Let's go back and buy a roast duck today."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"No, let's go to my uncle's house to eat today. I'll go to the department store to buy you a cake at noon. Let's go to my uncle's house to celebrate your birthday."
Zhao Yi smiled and knew that Zhang Jing was happy.
"OK."
Zhang Jing's face was full of smiles at this time.
Seeing that Zhang Jing was in a good mood, Zhao Yi did not stay in the store any longer and went straight home.
At this time, I happened to run into Tang Wenjie and Zheng Hongtao who had just arrived.
"Brother Yi."
The two men looked at Zhao Yi with a smile, then took out cigarettes from their pockets.
"Your sales speed is really terrifying."
Zhao Yi took the cigarette and smiled.
"The pre-sale method is of course faster. In the Central District and the Eastern District, we sell the ready-made goods, and let Song Laosi go to other districts for pre-sale. As long as someone asks him to place an order, he will deliver the TVs as many as they are ordered.
He was given two dollars as errand fee for a TV. ”
Tang Wenjie laughed.
"Will his income be too little if you do this? Since they are pre-selling for you, can you give them five dollars each?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
"In fact, two yuan is not a small amount. If he is lucky, he can deliver four or five machines a day, which is almost ten yuan. How can he get such a high salary in the factory?"
Tang Wenjie said indifferently.
If it weren't for his relationship with Zheng Hongtao, he wouldn't be willing to have any contact with Song Laosi.
Soon the two men walked into Zhao Yi's yard and handed the money they brought to Zhao Yi for counting. The quantity of goods they were purchasing was getting larger and larger. Now the two of them could purchase almost 60 televisions at a time.
After they finish purchasing goods today, Zhao Yi will have to go to the south to purchase more goods.
After the two men had handed over the work to Zhao Yi, they called on the porters to go upstairs to move the goods. The free time during Zhao Yi's trip to the south was time for them to relax.
"I'm going to the south tomorrow. You can stay in Rongcheng for the next three days. Come back to buy goods after three days. Otherwise, you'll have to spend money on food and drink if you stay here. There are no good friends to play with you."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"If you have money, you can have fun anywhere. If you don't have money, you can only watch others have fun. In fact, it's the same everywhere."
Zheng Hongtao smiled.
Hearing what Zheng Hongtao said, Zhao Yi nodded. It was true, but it was more fun to be with good friends.
"Let's go, Brother Yi. Let's come back in a few days. Remember not to let the customer forget about the washing machine I pre-sold."
Zheng Hongtao was about to get on the truck when he turned back and gave more instructions.
"Don't worry, I won't forget it."
Zhao Yi waved his hand.
Watching the truck slowly go away, Zhao Yi walked towards the department store to prepare a birthday cake for Zhang Jing that evening.
Nowadays, birthdays are rarely celebrated with birthday cakes as they are quite expensive. Most people just cook a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs. If the family has money for a child, they will buy him or her a small cake for one dollar and a bowl of noodles, and give him or her a few cents to buy some candy, and that's considered the birthday.
Zhao Yi went to the department store, bought a cake and a few bottles of soda, then carried the things home.
evening.
Zhao Dajiang, who had just finished packing up his stall, took Wang Chunyan back home.
When he just got home, the meal was almost ready. There was braised pork made from two pounds of fat, a five-pound braised fish, and a pheasant that Zhao Youfu met in the mountains. He also bought two pounds of pork liver at the vegetable market.
This is considered a relatively sumptuous dinner. I used to be reluctant to eat like this during the Chinese New Year.
"Dad, I'm going to call my eldest brother and the others to come over for dinner."
Zhao Youfu looked at his father and said.
"We're already here."
Zhao Yi was carrying a lot of things in his hands.
"Why don't you listen to me, kid? We have everything we need at home, so there's no need to send things over often."
Zhao Dajiang looked at Zhao Yi and reproached him.
"This is a cake. Today is Xiaojing's birthday, so it's a good time for us to celebrate. Here is the soda I bought at the department store."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone's faces were immediately filled with smiles.
"Happy birthday to you, sister-in-law."
Zhao Youfu and Zhao Mei hurried forward and spoke.
"Thank you, thank you."
Zhang Jing responded with a smile.
The two little guys immediately ran into the house and sat obediently beside Wang Chunyan, handing the crispy candies in their pockets to Wang Chunyan.
"Grandma eats candy."
"Thanks."
Wang Chunyan smiled happily when she took the candy.
"I didn't know it was Xiaojing's birthday today, otherwise I would have prepared two more dishes."
Zhao Dajiang said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Uncle, this is already a rich feast. The purpose of a birthday party is to have some fun. It's enough for our family to be happy."
Zhang Jing said quickly.
Zhao Youfu and Zhao Mei looked at the birthday cake curiously. They often heard classmates whose families had wealth say how delicious cake was. Today they could finally have a taste of it.
After dinner, Zhao Yi lit candles on the cake. After Zhang Jing blew out the candles, he began to cut the cake for everyone. Nowadays, cakes are not very big. A cake like this costs six yuan. Most families are reluctant to spend so much money.
"Brother, what's this thing on top? It's so delicious."
Zhao Mei looked at the cream on the cake curiously.
"It's cream. It tastes good when you haven't tried it before, but it gets greasy when you eat too much."
Zhao Yi explained.
"How can you get tired of eating this?"
Zhao Dajiang was a little bit unconvinced. He thought the cake was extremely delicious. How could he get tired of such a good thing? When he didn't eat it, the cassava in the mountains were all good things. He would not get tired of it even if he ate it as a meal every day.
"How should I put it, uncle, this question is a little difficult to explain."
Zhao Yan thought about it but still didn't know what to say. Now there was a general environment of food and clothing shortage. Although it has improved a little, the situation is not much better. Many teams are on the edge of food and clothing and have no extra money to spend, let alone such an expensive cake.
People nowadays think that fatty meat is a good thing, and children all like to eat fatty meat. But in a few years, those children will only eat lean meat and will not eat even a little bit of fat.
“It’s a bit greasy indeed.”
Zhao Youfu found it very novel when he first ate a piece, but after a few bites he found it a bit greasy as Zhao Yi said, but this kind of greasy feeling was more durable than when he was hungry.
"You just can't tell good from bad. This thing is so delicious."
After Zhao Dajiang finished the cake in his hand in just a few bites. The cake was not big to begin with, so each person had a piece and there was not much left in their hands.
As for Zhao Peng and Zhao Xuanxuan, they had finished eating long ago. They didn't dare to eat their fill when they had their meal just now, for fear that they would not have enough space for the cake.
After eating the cake, Zhao Yu chatted with his uncle's family.
"Xiaoyi, are there any houses in the city for around 200 yuan?"
Zhao Dajiang looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"No, I've asked around. A house that's a little bit remote costs more than 400 yuan. If you want 200 yuan, you can only buy one in the village."
Zhao Yi shook his head.
"If you plan to do business in the city for a long time, it would be best to buy a house with a storefront. You don't have to clean up the stall all day, so the price will naturally be higher."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said.
