Purchase of food
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the number of people in the mall had gradually thinned. Hu Yufeng had been standing all day and her feet were numb, but she was extremely excited, as if she had regained the passion she had when she and Xiu'er first set up the stall with a cart.
After seeing off the last customer, Qin Wenli looked at the time and it was almost six o'clock. Looking at the surrounding shops, I found that some of them had already pulled down their shutters. It seems that the shopping mall also operates from 9 to 6.
Seeing this, Zhou Cuicui knew it was time to go off work, so she hurried to pack up today's stall, while Hu Yufeng sat on a stool, sorting out the banknotes one by one.
These are all the harvests for today. Qin Wenli also came over and the two of them counted them separately. It took a while to count all the cash. When they added up the total, they were shocked by the result. They didn't expect that today's cash turnover was almost as much as the factory's half-month turnover.
Hu Yufeng once again sighed that the people in Qingyuan were too rich and could afford to buy things.
But today is the opening day, so it's normal to sell a lot. It will probably be impossible to achieve this performance in the future. Thinking of this, the burning emotions in my heart gradually cooled down.
Seeing Zhou Cuicui finished her work, Hu Yufeng called her over and said, "Cuicui, today is the first day of business. It probably won't be so busy in the future, but at the same time, you will be the only one looking after the store. Do you have the confidence to keep the store going?"
Zhou Cuicui nodded quickly: "Yes."
Of course she has to. Now her salary is determined by sales volume. The more she sells, the higher her commission will be. Her boss is not watching her all the time, and she can take a break when she is free. Where else can she find such a good job?
Hu Yufeng nodded with satisfaction, gave some more precautions, and prepared to close the door and go out to eat. It happened that Zhou Cuicui's husband had been waiting for his wife to come home for a long time, so he came to the address.
Qin Wenli pulled him along, and the four of them found a restaurant.
They didn't feel it in the store, but when they were stimulated by the aroma of the restaurant's food, the three of them felt very hungry.
After dinner, Zhou Cuicui and her husband went home, and Qin Wenli also drove his mother to the factory.
The summer evening breeze is usually gentle and soft, but it can be torn apart by a motorcycle, and it makes a crackling sound when it hits people's faces. Hu Yufeng holds on to the back seat tightly, accepting the whipping of the evening breeze with an expressionless face.
The next day, Hu Yufeng was still worried, so she went again with Qin Wenli. As she expected, the number of people coming to buy was no longer as crowded as yesterday.
There were even fewer individual customers on the third day...but this is normal. Everyone bought a lot in the first two days, and the fried dough twists can be stored for a long time, so they are not consumed so quickly.
The fourth day, the fifth day...
After a week, the shop's customer base gradually stabilized, with dozens of individual customers coming every day, and the bulk of the income came from wholesalers.
Seeing that Zhou Cuicui could handle it alone, Hu Yufeng stopped going.
Instead, he moved back to his hometown.
…
All the wheat seeds promoted last year were harvested some time ago. The people in the village are all practical people. They dried the wheat in the sun and kept it in the granary for half a month. They only sent it over after they were sure that it had not become damp again.
Qin Shengtian called and said that there were too many people delivering wheat and he couldn't handle it all by himself, so Hu Yufeng went back to help.
Although she is said to be helping, she is actually the main force. It's because this coward only knows simple math. He has been learning it for two years, but he still can't do addition and subtraction of numbers above three digits.
Seeing Hu Yufeng coming back, the villagers greeted her warmly.
"Hello, auntie." This is the shy young man.
"Hey, Boss Hu, how dare you come back to our mountain village?" This is the sour middle-aged man.
"Oh, sister, I missed you so much since you haven't been back for so long..." This is the fierce old woman.
No matter who it was, Hu Yufeng greeted them with a smile, then stood in front of the scale and started weighing them with a notebook in her hand.
There were those who had their own hidden thoughts in their hearts and cursed their bad luck: Qin Shengtian was ignorant of countenance, and he was just planning to brag, but who knew that he would invite back the tigress.
In two days, all the wheat was stored in the warehouse, and the noisy Qin family became quiet again.
Hu Yufeng was looking at the wheat in the two rooms with worry. The cat at home was useless. Not only could it not catch mice, but it was also scared by a big mouse and hugged her legs.
She was speechless. She had never seen such a cowardly cat.
It's all Qin Shengtian's fault. When she caught the kittens, she said she would go, but Qin Shengtian insisted that the kittens she caught were crybaby and noisy.
The ones he caught didn't make any noises, but they would tremble at the sight of the mice, which was quite cowardly!
Well, we still need to build a granary specifically for storing wheat, right?
Hu Yufeng did what she said and went to find Qin Wenzhen that night. He just finished building the new factory last week, and I heard that he has recently taken on a job building a new house.
As soon as she entered Qin Wenzhen's house, Hu Yufeng found that the house had changed drastically.
Not only was the house repainted, but a lot of fashionable furniture was also added. Hu Yufeng couldn't help but sigh that people still need to be diligent. As long as they are diligent, there is no need to worry about not getting rich.
When I saw Li Lanhua again, I noticed that her mental state was different from before. This is normal. Li Lanhua is still running her small business. Money is a person's courage. With money in hand, Lanhua will surely be confident in front of her husband and mother-in-law.
…
Before Qin Wenzhen finished work, Hu Yufeng took Lanhua aside to talk about the latest news in the village.
What new things can happen in such a small village? These are the only things that happened in the past six months.
The man from the xx family was caught having sex in a dilapidated cave.
The son of xx family was arrested just two days after returning home in glory.
xxx wanted a son so badly that he changed his wives three times before finally having a little girl.
xxx broke up with his son, and the son, in a fit of anger, recognized his biological parents.
Just when we were talking excitedly, Qin Wenzhen came in with a tired look on his face.
Li Lanhua quickly shut up and went to serve the meal. Her two daughters were patting the dirt and fetching water. Qin Zhu also turned down the volume of the TV, secretly glancing at the TV and his father at the same time, his head turning like a rattle and looking very tired.
After he finished his meal, Hu Yufeng explained her purpose and Qin Wenzhen readily agreed.
After finishing the serious business, Hu Yufeng didn't want to go home. She felt itchy to go back home without listening to all the gossip. But seeing that Li Lanhua was busy washing pots and dishes, he didn't want to keep her, so he got up and went home slowly.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the house, Qin Shengtian quietly told her a shocking piece of gossip.
Chen Xiulian had an affair with a man from another place who was about 40 years old and they usually lived together.
Good guy, Hu Yufeng exclaimed. Good guy.
She was even more shocked by the news that her lover, who was about 40 years old, lived in the same house with three other people.
No wonder when she asked what was new, Lanhua was speechless for a moment. How could she, as a daughter-in-law, explain it?
This, this, this... Hu Yufeng was so shocked that she stuttered. Chen Xiulian had never been a very contented person before, so when Wen Qing and Liu Rong were together, although she didn't say anything, she felt in her heart that this was just in line with her roots.
You didn’t bring them home before. Now these three children have become parents. Don’t you think about them?
"What are you considering? Do you know what the team members said? In front of Wen Zheng and Wen Qing, they said their mother found a little dad for them!"
Hu Yufeng:! ! !
"Then what?"
"The two Wenzheng brothers had a falling out with their parents. The eldest sister-in-law said they were cooperating in business, and the people in the village were talking nonsense. The eldest brother also chimed in and said that the young father was not there."
"Did they believe it?"
"What else can I do if I don't believe it? I can't chase him away. Wen Zheng has rarely appeared in the village recently."
"What about that man? Is he still here?"
If she went to take a look tomorrow morning, she would see what kind of man would fall in love with a sixty-year-old woman.
Unfortunately, Qin Shengtian's next sentence shattered her hopes.
"No, he took his sister-in-law to travel to the provincial capital."
Oh wow, Hu Yufeng was simply amazing.
After sighing, he looked at Qin Shengtian's old face, feeling a little disappointed. His lover took Chen Xiulian on a trip, but this old man was like a piece of wood compared to him.
Qin Shengtian:? ? ?
Why are you angry again?
If he knew what Hu Yufeng was thinking, he would probably say: Does he deserve it?
They used to sleep on the same kang, but now the other person has become more and more domineering, and she no longer regards him as a man from the bottom of her heart, so how could he dare to ask her to play?
…
The less you can see something, the more curious you are about it.
There has been nothing going on in the factory recently, so Wen Li could handle it even if he was there. Hu Yufeng simply said that it was hot and she wanted to stay at home to escape the heat.
This was the answer given to everyone who asked, which made Qin Shengtian feel a little stressed out, and he complained quietly to Lao Zheng.
"If you don't take care of such a big factory, what's the point of taking care of your family? You just don't do your job all day long."
Old Zheng smiled and said nothing, nor did he dare to say anything, because Hu Yufeng was right behind Qin Shengtian.
Qin Shengtian came to his senses and thought, it’s over, my life is over.
You are such a jerk, Old Zheng. You have caused me so much pain!
That day, Hu Yufeng had a sudden urge and insisted on following Qin Shengtian to grind flour.
What else could Qin Shengtian do? Just go, since he just happened to be in need of someone to hold his pockets.
The flour used by Lao Qin's family is all ground by themselves. The mill is right next to the national highway leading to Shangguan from Xiaogou Village. The wheat for grinding flour was brought in and soaked the day before, and today we are grinding the flour and bagging it.
When the mill owner met her, she greeted her warmly, calling her "sister" in a different way. It's not a blind attempt to get close to her. According to seniority, Hu Yufeng is indeed the elder sister, but this relative is a bit distant.
Grinding flour is a simple but boring job, and a bit choking, but this does not affect their gossip.
As we were talking, the boss sincerely suggested: "Sister, I know you are very busy. If you don't have time, just bring the wheat here and leave it there. I will grind it for you when I have time. Why bother with half a bag? It's too much trouble."
Half a bag? Hu Yufeng was puzzled. Her family was a big consumer of flour, and each time they would order at least five loads. Where did half a bag come from?
Hu Yufeng keenly realized that something was wrong.
He pretended not to care and said, "Alas, sometimes it's just a little short. What can we do? We don't even have enough to eat, so we have to rely on the factory."
The boss also laughed: "Indeed, that's what I said. Our son-in-law said that Wenli comes to grind half a bag every month. I was afraid that it was for family consumption."
"That's right..." Although Hu Yufeng smiled, her heart sank to the bottom.
Could it be that Wen Li did something he shouldn't have done behind Yang Xiu's back?
Hu Yufeng was a little absent-minded no matter what the boss said. There was only one thought in her mind: what would happen to this family if Wen Li betrayed Yang Xiu and had a family outside.
