The next day.
After breakfast at home, Aunt Guo and Aunt Guo II and other married women came back one after another.
Guo Jianping and the other men were smoking, drinking tea and chatting at Uncle Guo's house, while Aunt Guo and the others went to Guo Youxing's house.
A group of women gathered together to chat and gossip, and everyone was having a great time.
As she was talking, Aunt Guo started talking about her going to sell things.
"Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, so I went to town early in the morning with half a basket of eggs and two chickens. I just shouted a few times on the roadside and sold them all in no time."
Aunt Guo: "It's selling so well! I'll try it someday."
In fact, what Aunt Guo said was quite moist for a while.
At first she was embarrassed to speak, but when she saw others selling their things and leaving, she became anxious and started shouting.
As she shouted, the first business began.
Having tasted the sweetness, Aunt Guo became even more enthusiastic in selling her products.
In just a few minutes, all her chickens and eggs were sold out.
"Aunt, you can collect some chickens in the village and sell them in the town or the county. This way you can make a profit of one or two cents per chicken." Deng Qingling said.
"Really? Can you really earn so much?" Aunt Guo asked excitedly.
“Of course not, food sells the best, but don’t take too much at once.
"There are probably about ten at most, and it's best to sell them all before buying them back, because too many chickens can easily get sick," said Deng Qingling.
It’s not that she likes to interfere in other people’s lives. We are all family, so she just gives some suggestions.
Whether they do it or not is their own business.
"That's right. I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle." said Aunt Guo.
When Aunt Guo got home, she told this story to her uncle. He learned from it and went fishing and catching eels whenever he had time. He also carried fruits and vegetables to sell.
They think every penny they can earn is a penny earned.
These things are not worth much money anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they can’t be sold. At worst, we can keep them for ourselves.
You know what, with their try-it attitude, they earned almost 70 or 80 yuan in the first month.
Of course, this is all in the past.
In fact, you can make money no matter what business you do at this time.
Even collecting scrap can make money.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
After chatting with Aunt Guo and the others until after 10 o'clock, Deng Qingling and Guo Jianping took their children back to her parents' home.
Deng Qingling didn't bring anything with her, so she took some milk candies and mooncakes that Guo Jianping brought back from the county town and distributed them to the three brothers of the Deng family.
The Deng family split up a few years ago, but they only separated the households but not the family.
This means that everyone still lives together, but their household registration and finances are independent.
They usually handed over their food to Liang Haidi.
Whenever there was something going on in the village, the three brothers would pool their money and Liang Haidi and her husband would go to the banquet.
But since they are your own brothers and sisters, you don’t have to be so stingy. You still have to give them what they deserve.
So Deng Qingling simply gave a holiday gift to each of her brothers' families, so that her brothers and sisters-in-law would also be happy.
Deng Qingling saw her second sister-in-law patting her clothes from time to time, as if they were dirty, so she couldn't help but ask: "Second sister-in-law, the clothes you are wearing are quite nice. When did you make them?"
You know, her second brother and his wife are usually very frugal, and they would like to split every penny into two parts to spend.
Deng Qingling hadn't seen the couple wear new clothes for many years.
"Really?" Liang Meidi touched the clothes again and said with a smile, "This was just made two days ago. Your second brother said I haven't worn new clothes in years, so he brought some cloth back and asked me to make one for myself."
"By the way, sister-in-law, why aren't my second brother and A Guang at home today?" Deng Qingling asked.
"Your second brother took A Guang to collect the goods. The goods they collected some time ago were sold out early yesterday when they went to the county town." Liang Meidi was very happy when she talked about this.
Fortunately, she did not stop Deng Guorong from doing business, otherwise where would he get new clothes?
Deng Qingling: "What goods? Chickens? Eggs?"
"We collect them all. We go to mountainous areas to collect them. The prices are much cheaper there. Pheasants, rabbits, mushrooms, fungus and so on are very easy to sell in the county town." Liang Meidi said with a smile.
Ever since Deng Yangguang went to help Deng Qingling in her shop, he has been persuading his father to do some small business to somewhat ease the burden on the family.
So a few days before school started, Deng Guorong and his son started doing business.
At first they only sold chickens and eggs in the town, but later they saw people selling wild game and so they decided to expand their business.
They drove ox carts to collect goods, and did not hesitate to do anything, taking whatever could be sold.
After harvesting the crops, the father and son went to the county town to sell them. There were many people in the county town and the consumption was high, so the products were easy to sell.
Normally, when Deng Yangguang went to school, Deng Guorong would do it alone, and during holidays, the father and son would work together.
As for Deng Guorong's eldest son, he took advantage of his uncle Deng Chun's relationship to work as an apprentice in a factory in the town.
Deng Qingling: "Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about opening a store in town or in the county? That way we won't have to worry about our things getting wet in the wind and rain."
It’s just like the grocery stores in later generations, selling everything. How great!
"Open a shop?" Liang Meidi was stunned.
Yeah, why didn’t they think of it?
If you open a shop, you can not only sell the mountain products you collect, but also sell peanuts, beans, vegetables and other things grown in the fields.
I heard that in the county town, even a green onion has to be bought with money, so these things can definitely be sold.
Deng Qingling: "Yes, but if you really want to open a store, I suggest you buy it. I'm mainly worried that the landlord will see that your business is doing well and will raise the rent or ask you to leave."
After all, malicious rent increases and evicting tenants are not uncommon in later generations.
