Chapter 37 Counting Money
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Of course, how much do you want to buy?"
"Buy one for fifty bucks!"
People who work on ships have a lot of cold bodies. His mother worked on ships in her early years. When the weather is cold, her legs hurt easily and she often has trouble sleeping at night.
But last night, after his mother drank some brown sugar, her legs didn't hurt as much and she slept soundly.
Her daughter-in-law felt warm all over.
He feels it works better than the brown sugar he buys in the store.
The reason why Jiang Zhiluo dared to shout that it was good for the body was because spiritual spring water was added to the red pond, which was indeed good for the human body.
And the effect is quite obvious.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that many people bought a few dollars at once yesterday, hoping to try it and see how it tasted.
Knowing that drinking it is good for the body, people are naturally willing to spend money on it.
"Okay, I'll give you fifty bucks."
Jiang Zhiluo saw that he had taken the basket himself.
Jiang Zhiluo gave him fifty yuan and he paid a hundred coins.
After seeing this, people who originally wanted to buy something for five or six yuan directly said they would buy something for twelve or fifteen yuan.
Everyone bought a little more.
There was also an old lady running over breathlessly, "Hey, girl, you were selling brown sugar here yesterday."
Jiang Zhiluo patiently replied, "Yes, yesterday was my first day here selling brown sugar. Auntie, what can I do for you?"
The old lady looked at the little girl's sweet and soft smile, and thought it was sweet and pretty. She also smiled and said, "It's a good thing you are here. My daughter said she bought brown sugar here yesterday."
Jiang Zhiluo understood, "Auntie, are you buying brown sugar?"
The old lady said, "Yes, yes, to buy brown sugar. My daughter couldn't leave today because of something, so she asked me to come and buy it. I was worried that you wouldn't come. I was also afraid that I would be late. We live in the west end of the town, which is a bit far."
"I don't know how you made this brown sugar, but it tastes really good and makes my stomach feel better."
"My little girl is in confinement after giving birth, so I might as well buy some more for her."
The old lady looked at the pretty and gentle girl and couldn't help but say a few more words.
In fact, her eldest daughter had her period last night and had a severe stomachache. Strangely, after drinking the brown sugar, not only did her body warm up, but she also didn't feel the pain.
The old lady naturally thought that this drink would work.
Jiang Zhiluo thought to herself that the spiritual spring water was indeed good for the body. Cui Hejin seemed to cough less yesterday.
If brown sugar can make everyone healthier, that would be a good thing, and Jiang Zhiluo would be happy to see such a thing happen.
So when she was making brown sugar yesterday, she also added some Lingquan water.
"Auntie, how much is this?"
"I'll buy twenty yuan first, girl, will you come to sell brown sugar again in the future?"
"They should all be here in the next few days."
If there are no more beets in the future, we cannot guarantee that we will sell brown sugar.
But she would also think of other profitable businesses.
"Then buy thirty dollars first."
"good."
Because old customers still come to buy and say the effect is good, everyone has a herd mentality, and those who don’t want to buy can’t help but join in the fun and buy a few pieces to take home and try it.
So business is good.
People started coming and going at the dock, and Jiang Zhiluo started shouting.
Mrs. Cui received a bag of copper coins, which felt heavy when she put them in her pocket. She was so excited and happy that she no longer felt embarrassed and started shouting as well.
"Selling brown sugar, selling brown sugar..."
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised when she heard Mrs. Cui shouting.
I didn't expect that this old lady who grew up in a wealthy family, lived a pampered life and was very well-mannered could also shout.
Although she was shouting loudly, Mrs. Cui still blushed.
But after shouting a few times and getting a little used to it, I didn't feel so embarrassed.
In this way, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui sold brown sugar together, and by noon, they had sold all of it.
Old Madam Cui looked at the empty backpack, her face and eyes shining with excitement.
"Zhiluo, we've sold all the brown sugar. I didn't expect business at the dock to be so brisk."
"You don't know, back then, with just a small basket of eggs, I might not be able to sell a single ounce even if I set up a stall in town all day."
Thinking of her previous experience of setting up a stall, Mrs. Cui sighed with emotion.
It is also because it is not easy to sell things at a stall, so Mrs. Cui doesn't like to come to the town to sell things.
But I never thought that when I set up a stall with my daughter-in-law, I don’t have to worry about not being able to sell anything, and business is booming.
They were busy all morning.
Old Madam Cui handed the purse to Jiang Zhiluo and asked her to keep it.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Everyone thinks brown sugar works, so they'll buy more."
Mrs. Cui said, "Then let's go harvest beets this afternoon."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "We'll collect some, but we won't do so much in the afternoon. It's too tiring to work until the early morning, and it's not good for your health."
Mrs. Cui has been able to eat her fill these days, and with the spiritual spring water, she is feeling a little better and no longer gets out of breath after doing any work.
But working late every day is still bad for your health.
It can't be that intense.
Mrs. Cui originally wanted to say that she was not tired, but when she thought about her daughter-in-law who was still young and looked thin, and she didn't want to tire her out, she nodded.
The two of them didn't stay in the town any longer and went straight home.
This time, the two men went home, closed the door of the inner room directly, sat down at the table in the inner room, poured out the copper coins in the purse and began to count them.
"One cent, two cents, three cents..."
Mrs. Cui looked at the big bag of money and counted it happily.
Jiang Zhiluo also counted together.
Grabbing a handful of copper coins in your hand and listening to the sound of them colliding is a really good feeling.
Jiang Zhiluo spread out the copper coins and looked at them, and she knew exactly how many copper coins there were in total by just looking at them.
This is the ability I learned in the organization in my previous life.
But now that she has come to this place, she is still willing to enjoy this kind of happiness that ordinary people have.
She also counted them one by one.
Count out every hundred coins and put them aside.
After counting twice, Old Madam Cui said excitedly, "Zhiluo, it's 982 coins. This is what we earned this morning."
Mrs. Cui couldn't believe it, but after counting it twice, it was the same number.
Besides, they also knew how much brown sugar was cut in the morning, but if some people bought more, Zhiluo would give them one or two pieces as a gift.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and nodded gently, "Yes, mother, this is the amount."
Old Madam Cui excitedly grasped Jiang Zhiluo's hand and said, "Adding the money we got from home before, we have one or two taels of silver."
After being exiled, Mrs. Cui understood best what one tael of silver meant. How could she not be excited?
If you run your business like this, you can make a lot of money in a month.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Jiang Zhiluo was still in a relatively calm mood, but when she saw how happy Madam Cui was, she couldn't help but smile.
Mrs. Cui gave the money to Jiang Zhiluo for safekeeping and let her have the final say on household matters.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't act pretentiously and put the money safely in the space.
Over the next few days, the two of them made brown sugar every morning and went to the town to set up a stall.
While busy, Jiang Zhiluo almost ignored Cui Hejin.
