Chapter 496 Li Shanshan ran away
Today Chen Xiumei went to the commune again and made fifty dumplings and fifty steamed buns to take back.
In less than two hours, there was not a single one left.
Now she is more confident.
"Very good, they all praised my steamed buns for being soft and fluffy, and said my buns were generous in filling and tasty."
"Once your tricycle and flour arrive, I will make 100 steamed buns, 100 steamed buns, and 50 tea eggs every day."
This isn't enough to sell, is it?
After tasting Chen Xiumei’s steamed buns and steamed buns, Xu Zijin felt that her business would definitely get better in the future.
Moreover, now Chen Xiumei is just doing small business, wandering around selling buns and steamed buns, not at a fixed place.
Once people know that she sells at the same place every day, business will be better.
Hongqing Commune is a large commune. It used to be a town with all the units in the town.
There are hospitals, schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, credit unions, purchasing stores, grain stations, commune offices, etc.
Especially the schools, which have primary, junior and high schools.
In the era of large population, each class in school had more than 50 students.
The more units there are, the more staff there are.
And there is no breakfast at work.
In the future, I’m afraid that even if we make 300 buns and steamed buns a day, they won’t be enough to sell.
But Xu Zijin didn't say much.
Chen Xiumei herself will know when the business is successful.
The two chatted about business for a while and then went home to cook.
However, Lu Hanzhou still found out about Li Shanshan's visit.
His eyes were cold: "If a person is determined to kill himself, you can't stop him, don't take it to heart."
Xu Zijin sneered: "I don't care about it. It has nothing to do with me."
Now she is eager for Li Shanshan to go to Guangdong Province.
If it is so easy to go to Guangdong Province, who wouldn’t want to go there?
Going there and getting some goods back is like picking up money.
Xu Zijin knew that money was not so easy to pick up.
If she were just a weak woman who was reborn, she wouldn't even dare to think about going to Guangdong Province, let alone go there.
She had a feeling that Li Shanshan was on the road to death...
Two days later, Xu Zijin was having breakfast when Chang Qiumian came over with a large basket of vegetables.
"Teacher Xu, did you know? Li Shanshan ran away."
Run away?
Xu Zijin was a little curious: "Where did you go?"
"I heard she went back to her parents' home."
Go back to your mother's home?
I’m afraid not necessarily?
It’s better that she ran away, Xu Zijin thought to himself: the compound will be much quieter without Li Shanshan, this nuisance.
"Sister-in-law, you grow these vegetables really well!"
"Thank you."
Chang Qiumian changed the subject and stopped talking about Li Shanshan. He then started talking about the summer vegetable planting plan...
After breakfast, Xu Zijin, Chen Xiumei and Wang Jianqiang went to the town with the notice to pick up the package and took the quartermaster unit’s car.
Wang Jianqiang is a man with strong hands-on ability.
After opening the big package, he had built a brand new tricycle in about half an hour.
Wang Jianqiang rode it for a test ride and exclaimed: "Oh my god, this bike is awesome!"
Of course!
If electric vehicles didn’t exist at that time, Xu Zijin would have wanted to get Chen Xiumei an electric one.
Wang Jianqiang rode the bike back, carrying 300 kilograms of flour and two people.
The two of them didn't want to sit down, but he didn't want to.
There was no choice, so Chen Xiumei and Xu Zijin both sat on it, but were pulled back by Wang Jianqiang.
"Brother Wang, your strength is unmatched."
When they arrived at the gate of the division headquarters, Xu Zijin gave a compliment.
Wang Jianqiang laughed: "This is all flat road, and this bike is easy to ride, not tiring at all."
All right.
A flat road is still a road, weighing five or six hundred kilograms.
After entering the family compound, the two of them came down.
Soon, this tricycle became the object of observation for the entire compound...
"Sister Xiumei, did you buy this?"
A military wife looked at Chen Xiumei with envy and asked.
Chen Xiumei kept laughing: "Yes, but it was Teacher Xu who helped. Her cousin bought it for me from Guangdong Province."
Wow, so far?
The military wife was shocked: "How much does this cost?"
Chen Xiumei smiled and said, "Three hundred yuan."
Three hundred yuan...
All of a sudden, a group of military wives opened their mouths, unable to close them.
"What did you buy it for?"
Chen Xiumei did not hide it because she couldn't hide it at all.
"It's too much time to stay at home every day. It's difficult for a man to support a family with his salary alone."
"I was thinking, since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well make some steamed buns and stuff and sell them in town."
“What we can’t sell in the morning, we’ll sell in the countryside.”
"It's almost spring ploughing time. Country people go to work early, so they're hungry by ten o'clock."
How much money can you make from selling steamed buns?
A steamed bun costs six cents.
A meat bun costs eight cents.
But the cost is not low at all. Flour has to be bought with coupons, and you can only make one cent at most from a steamed bun or a dumpling.
I only make one dollar if I sell one hundred.
To make a hundred buns or steamed buns, you have to get up at four in the morning.
Everyone thinks that Chen Xiumei doesn't know how to settle accounts.
——It’s really not cost-effective to buy a car worth hundreds of dollars and make only one cent from selling a bun.
Chen Xiumei doesn't care what other people think.
When she was making dough, she used the dough making machine that Xu Zijin gave her.
One pound of flour can make seven buns or steamed buns, which are bigger than the five that others make.
Moreover, she used refined flour but spent cheaply.
She sells buns for eight cents each and steamed buns for six cents each.
Calculated in this way, the profit of each one is nearly three cents.
There was also her vegetable cake, which was big and fragrant, five cents each, and everyone scrambled to get one.
Because she had tried it before, Chen Xiumei was not worried at all.
The couple moved the flour into their home. Wang Jianqiang took out his tools and started tinkering with the tricycle according to Xu Zijin's method...
Soon, a stove was installed on the tricycle.
"Sister-in-law, put some charcoal here so your buns will stay hot until noon."
It’s good to be hot.
Hot buns are delicious.
Chen Xiumei nodded excitedly: "I will start working tomorrow!"
Xu Zijin laughed: "Hahaha, then I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth!"
"Thank you, Zijin. Let's have dinner together next Sunday."
Chen Xiumei has mentioned the matter of eating several times.
Now that the fake mother-in-law is gone, Xu Zijin nodded and agreed: "No problem, I will help you when the time comes."
"Well, it's a deal."
The two sisters agreed, and Chen Xiumei excitedly went to tinker with her money-making tool.
Xu Zijin had proposed all the ideas she could about the Wang family's business, and she would not interfere too much in the subsequent matters.
Qi Hong's mother arrived, and Xu Zijin went to see her specially.
Since her good sister's mother was here, Xu Zijin prepared to treat her to a meal.
Qi Hong immediately refused: "No, Zijin, my mother is not in the mood to eat, forget it this time."
Xu Zijin was curious: "Where is she?"
Qi Hong let out a long breath: "I went to find Su Qiaoying."
