Chapter 235 Selling the Job
"That Xu Hexiao is quite interesting." Mr. Yuan said with a smile.
"You're quite generous. A chicken should weigh about 14 or 15 kilograms. If you don't need a ticket, I can sell it for a dozen yuan," said Mr. Wang.
The two returned to the house that had been sold, and Mr. Yuan's wife and daughter came to greet them.
"Didn't you go to handle the transfer of ownership? Why did you bring back two chickens?" asked Mrs. Yuan.
"This is a gift from someone else. Lao Wang is staying with us for dinner tonight, so let's kill this chicken." Mr. Yuan handed the chicken to his wife.
Mrs. Yuan took it and said, "Okay, I'll go kill a chicken. The weather is cold now, so let's eat firewood chicken. I learned how to cook it in the countryside. Stick a circle of pancakes on the edge of the pot, so you don't have to cook."
At five o'clock, the smell of food wafted from Yuan's house.
"Sister-in-law is a good cook," Mr. Wang praised.
"I've made this firewood chicken before, but it wasn't as fragrant as this." Mrs. Yuan was a little surprised.
Mr. Wang thought she was just being modest, but when he picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, he noticed something unusual - what delicious chicken!
"This chicken is good!" Mr. Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
Others nodded, "It's really good."
Mr. Wang smiled, "I think I know the purpose of Xu Hexiao sending the chicken."
"What's the intention?" Mr. Yuan was puzzled.
"He is trying to sell his chickens to us. Believe it or not, when we go to his house to buy chickens, he will definitely ask for an exorbitant price." Nowadays, private transactions are not so strictly controlled. At least, if you go to someone's house to buy a chicken, no one will care.
"How can he be sure that we will definitely go to his house to buy chickens?"
"This chicken is so delicious, don't you want to eat it a second time?"
"Uh...I want to."
In the evening, Mr. Yuan brought the wine that Xu Hexiao had sent him during the day back to his room.
He took the wine glass, opened the lid of the wine jar, and poured a glass.
"What a rich aroma, the aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of medicine, it makes me drool." Madam Yuan looked at the wine jar, then at the wine in the glass, "It's amber in color, this wine is good."
"This wine was also sent by Xu Hexiao." Mr. Yuan said, he put the wine under his nose to smell it, and then brought it to his mouth. At first, he only planned to take a sip, but he couldn't stop drinking it, and he didn't come back to his senses until he finished a glass.
"Aren't you afraid there might be problems? Why did you drink so much at once?" Mrs. Yuan looked worried.
Mr. Yuan carefully felt the changes in his body. "As soon as I drank the wine, a wave of heat surged up from my stomach and flowed to all parts of my body. It was like taking a hot spring bath. It was very comfortable."
"Really?" Mrs. Yuan thought her husband was exaggerating.
"You try it." Mr. Yuan poured a glass of wine for Mrs. Yuan and brought it to her lips. "Don't worry, drink it. It's okay."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The next second, her body also began to heat up. Her hands and feet, which were like ice cubes in winter and could not be warmed up no matter what, finally felt a little warm.
She hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.
"How is it?" asked Mr. Yuan.
Madam Yuan nodded, "Very good. Women also have the problem of cold hands and feet. Every time I have my period, I feel severe pain and my waist can't even straighten up. I won't drink this wine. Give it to my daughter."
"But your body is also suffering from severe cold." Mr. Yuan frowned.
"I'm old, so it's normal for me to have some minor ailments. My daughter is still young, and she has developed a chronic illness. When she gets married in the future, I'm worried that her children will have a hard time." Mrs. Yuan's voice choked slightly.
"Don't cry, I'll send the wine to our daughter right away. But there are only two kilograms of wine, and I'm afraid it won't be enough to regulate our daughter's health. I'll go to the Xu family tomorrow to ask and buy more, for both you and our daughter." Mr. Yuan said.
After spending 280,000 today, Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao felt a little pain. At 11:30 pm, the two of them went to the black market, carrying four sacks each. Lin Qi carried four sacks of food, and Xu Hexiao carried four sacks of fruit.
After coming out of the black market, the two men had more than 500 yuan in their pockets.
"It's too tiring for you to pound rice and grind flour every day. Let's sell wine. Wine is expensive, the profit is high, and it's not so tiring." Xu Hexiao said, "Ask the old leader of godfather to buy more medicinal wine."
Those people are rich and can sell medicinal liquor at a high price.
"Okay. In addition to the more expensive medicinal liquor, we can also sell some ordinary liquor. We can also sell some to Guoan's family. They also like our liquor very much. They have always wanted to buy some, but I always said we don't have any."
"Then we will start by doing business with people we know. When the market is more open and individuals are allowed to do business, we will buy a storefront and sell wine, grain, and fruit."
“We start our own business?”
"Yeah, let's start our own business? Let our godfather help run the store for us. He plans to retire this year, and when he sells his job, he can get five or six hundred dollars."
"Will this tire out godfather?"
"Then I'll go to the store?"
"Aren't you working anymore?" Lin Qi was a little surprised.
"I don't have to work. If I am allowed to do business, I will naturally do business on my own. Qiqi, you forgot that the Xu family has been businessmen for generations." Others think that working in a machinery factory is stable and decent, but he doesn't think so. He likes doing business from the bottom of his heart.
"It's up to you to decide. Since you don't have a job, I can still support the family."
"Qiqi, you're so nice." Xu Hexiao pecked Lin Qi on the face, then squatted down in front of her, "Come, I'll carry you back."
Lin Qi didn't act pretentiously. She leaned on Xu Hexiao's back and said, "You should sell your job by the end of the year. The policy is getting more and more relaxed now. If it's not next year, it should be the year after next, individual businesses should be allowed to appear. Next year, you should be busy with building the house. It may take one or two years to build such a big house."
"Okay." Xu Hexiao curled his lips. He found that he was still far behind Qiqi in terms of action. He was still thinking about selling his job in two years, but Qiqi asked him to sell his job now.
The only one who can talk about selling a job so nonchalantly is probably his Qiqi.
The next morning, someone from the Yuan family knocked on Lin Qi's door. The one who opened the door was Xu Hexiao, who was about to go to work. Seeing someone outside the door, Xu Hexiao was not surprised at all and smiled, "Morning, Mr. Yuan, have you had breakfast? Come in and have some more."
"I've already eaten." Mr. Yuan said, holding his wife's hand as he walked into the room and asked directly, "Mr. Xu, do you still have the medicinal wine you sent yesterday? We want to buy some."
"That medicinal wine is not cheap. It contains very precious medicinal materials. It costs fifteen yuan per pound." Xu Hexiao said.
"So expensive?" Mr. Xu was a little surprised, but when he thought of his wife's warm hands and feet all night, he felt that fifteen yuan per pound was worth it.
"It's so expensive, so we usually don't sell it to the public." Xu Hexiao said, pushing the bicycle out from behind the door, "I have to go to work. If you want to buy wine, go talk to my wife."
Xu Hexiao pushed the cart out and closed the door.
Lin Qi, who was hanging clothes, heard every word of the conversation at the door. After Xu Hexiao closed the door, she walked towards the door.
Today she was wearing a bright red cotton jacket. This bright color would easily make ordinary people look tacky. But Lin Qi's skin was as white as snow, and this color made her look even more beautiful.
The moment Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan saw Lin Qi, they couldn't help but stop and were stunned. How could someone be so beautiful?
"Would you two like to buy some medicinal wine?" Lin Qi asked.
"Yes, we want to buy medicinal wine." Mr. Yuan's face looked a little unnatural. It was really embarrassing for a man of such an old age to be staring at a young girl.
"Fifteen yuan per pound, how many pounds do you want?" Lin Qi asked.
"We'll take whatever kilograms you have," Mr. Yuan said generously.
"Then I'll sell you 100 kilograms first." Lin Qi replied.
Mr. Yuan: “….”
Such a precious medicinal wine, one hundred kilograms at once?
"If you don't want to buy so much, 50 kilograms will be fine." Lin Qi thought the other party didn't want so much.
"No, no, no, I want one hundred kilograms. If there are more, I would like to buy more. But the quality of the medicinal wine must be consistent with the one Mr. Xu gave us yesterday." Mr. Yuan said.
"Of course, the quality of our medicinal wine is only high, not low. There are only 200 kilograms of medicinal wine. Do you want it all?" In fact, there are more than 500 kilograms of medicinal wine. Now 200 kilograms have been sold, and Lin Qi plans to keep the rest and sell it slowly.
"I want them all. Besides the medicinal wine, do you have any chickens at home? We want to buy two." The chicken was indeed delicious and I wanted to eat more.
"Okay, but chicken is expensive, no tickets needed, two yuan a pound."
hiss--
Mr. Yuan secretly took a breath of cold air. As expected, Old Wang had guessed it right. The Xu family had asked for a very high price.
But they couldn't refuse.
"Let's buy two first."
Two chickens, no more, no less, exactly thirty catties, a total of sixty yuan. Add the three thousand yuan from the sale of two hundred catties of medicinal wine, a total of three thousand and sixty yuan.
Lin Qi was in a good mood after earning more than 3,000 yuan in one morning.
"We have a limited number of chickens, so we won't sell chickens in the future. But we also have rabbits and ducks, and they taste very good. You can come and buy them when you want to eat. In addition, we also have ordinary wine, including fruit wine with a relatively low alcohol content and liquor with a relatively high alcohol content. The quality is not available outside." Lin Qi said.
"Really?" Mr. Yuan asked.
"Hearing is not as good as hearing. I'll go pour some for you." Lin Qi said, turning around and bringing over a jar of fruit wine and a jar of liquor.
The fruit wine was wine. She poured two glasses of fruit wine first, and then poured two glasses of soju into clean glasses. She pushed the glasses in front of Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, "It's a little cold. Take your time to taste it."
Ten minutes later, Mr. Yuan not only bought liquor, but also fruit wine. He bought 100 jin of liquor and fruit wine respectively. Each jin cost 5 yuan, so 200 jin of liquor cost 1,000 yuan. Adding the previous 3,060 yuan, the total was 4,060 yuan.
"We don't have that much money on us. Could Mrs. Xu go back with us to get it?" Mr. Yuan said.
Lin Qi nodded, "You bought a lot of things, I will be responsible for delivering them to your door."
