"We still need to save money to buy a house!" Sun Cuilan felt heartbroken when she thought about how much money she had spent these past two days. However, she couldn't resist Zheng Dandan's pleading and finally compromised and agreed, "Okay, okay, send them all!"
"Go to the nursery to study in advance, maybe our family will have a few college students in the future!" Zheng Dandan saw that Sun Cuilan still felt a little sad, so she made a promise to her.
By the time the eldest daughter Pi Dan took the college entrance examination, the number of admissions places had become relatively loose, and it was not too difficult to get into university. So what she said was not entirely empty talk.
"If Pidan can get admitted, it will be worth the money I spent on him." Sure enough, when Sun Cuilan thought that Pidan could be admitted to university one day, her mood suddenly became much better.
Now that the house is rented, the next thing is to deal with the inventory at home.
At Zheng Dandan's suggestion, only the eldest and second brothers and their spouses returned to their village. They didn't need to bring the goods to the county town; they could just sell them in town.
"Here, the cost." Sun Cuilan took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Zheng Dandan.
With their preferential prices, the goods always sell out quickly after they appear. Today was no exception. In a short time, they sold more than 200 yuan.
Zheng Dandan took it without hesitation, "Mom, I'm going to take a rest."
It's time to go to the system space to check the results!
Before her consciousness entered the system space, Zheng Dandan spent several minutes preparing herself mentally. She had gained a lot recently, and she wondered what good things the system had unlocked waiting for her!
"Congratulations to the host for gaining experience points. You have now reached level five. You need 5,480 experience points to level up. You have gained 507.62 yuan in wealth, bringing your total wealth to 98.6 yuan. You have unlocked the fish and meat section, and new items: corn, bamboo shoots, watermelon, glutinous rice, soy sauce, and pork belly. Please keep up the good work, host."
The 999 announcement was not long, but Zheng Dandan was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Pork belly! Fatty but not greasy pork belly!
For a modern person who has enjoyed the freedom to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, it is undoubtedly a torture to suddenly go into an environment where vegetarian food is often eaten.
"Girl, why are you smiling so foolishly?" Sun Cuilan, who was cleaning the room, saw Zheng Dandan smiling foolishly and asked with concern.
"Didn't I go meet Cheng Huadong today?" Zheng Dandan was increasingly comfortable using Cheng Huadong's name. "He said he could help me sell pork belly."
"What, pork belly?" Sun Cuilan was shocked. Meat was very scarce these days, and many families could only enjoy a little meat at the end of the year. Even if their family had workers, they could only eat it once a month!
"Yes, pork belly." Zheng Dandan's expression was delighted, her eyes sparkling. "Next, he will also provide us with corn, bamboo shoots, and watermelon."
"My girl, do you think he likes you?" After a long time, Sun Cuilan came back to her senses and asked Zheng Dandan.
"What are you talking about? He and I are just business partners." Zheng Dandan denied it. She didn't understand why Sun Cuilan's thoughts suddenly turned to this.
"How could he take such good care of you if he doesn't like you?" Sun Cuilan asked. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right.
"Mom, you're overthinking it. He can also make money by working with me." Zheng Dandan said helplessly.
"Then why doesn't he cooperate with others?" Sun Cuilan questioned. After doing business for two days, she knew very well the difficulty of selling things.
"Does anyone else have the courage? Not everyone dares to take the first step. When I asked you to do business together in the beginning, weren't you afraid? Also, how do you know he didn't cooperate with others..."
Zheng Dandan tried her best to persuade Sun Cuilan and finally stopped her wild thoughts.
Sun Cuilan stopped arguing about whether Cheng Huadong liked Zheng Dandan. She started to care about the product trends. "When will the new products arrive?"
"Today." Zheng Dandan said.
It had to be today! She was drooling over the lack of meat for so long; she hadn't had enough yesterday at noon! She wanted to eat roasted pork belly, but unfortunately, she didn't have cumin powder or Sichuan pepper powder...
Zheng Dandan became distracted as she thought about it, her mind full of modern delicacies.
In the evening, Zheng's brother and sister-in-law finished dealing with the goods at home, caught the last bus, and returned to the county town with hundreds of dollars.
"It was so thrilling. We were almost caught by the patrol today." After coming back, the second sister-in-law Fang Xiaoyu said to everyone in the Zheng family with lingering fear, and He Yuegui also looked horrified.
"What's going on?" Zheng Dandan was very surprised. They had been to the town several times, but the patrol team didn't care.
"They're probably jealous," said the second brother, Zheng Jiangong. "Our business is so good, and we're collecting money non-stop. Who wouldn't be jealous? When we left, a few hooligans wanted to follow us. Luckily, we were coming to the county town, and they didn't want to spend the money on the train tickets, otherwise we'd be in trouble."
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. Fortunately, we came to the county town. Otherwise, you can't sleep well tonight." The eldest brother Zheng Jianye echoed.
Zheng Dandan frowned. Gangsters collecting protection fees has always been a headache for people.
"Mom, how much money do we have now?" Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Cuilan and asked.
"Wait a minute." Sun Cuilan went into the bedroom, took out the money, counted it, and replied, "A total of two hundred and thirty-seven dollars and thirty-five cents."
"Brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, how much did you sell this afternoon?" Zheng Dandan's gaze fell on the Zheng brother and sister-in-law again.
"A total of three hundred and twenty-seven." Zheng Jianye took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Sun Cuilan.
"That should be enough." Zheng Dandan nodded.
"Enough for what?"
Everyone in the Zheng family looked at her in confusion.
“Buy a tricycle.”
"Why buy a tricycle when you have everything you need?" Sun Cuilan didn't understand. She didn't want to spend the money at all. Although money was being earned generously these days, it was also being spent generously. Often, before it even warmed up, it was already gone.
"We bought a tricycle for business transportation. We have a lot of heavy stuff, and it's limited to carry when we put it in a backpack. It's better to use a tricycle to carry more things, which is convenient and saves effort. The most important thing is that the problem my second brother mentioned is more obvious in the town, but it also exists in the county. We stay in one place all the time and are easily noticed. The tricycle has a characteristic, which is its strong maneuverability. We can change places frequently without attracting attention." Zheng Dandan explained in detail.
"But a tricycle is not cheap." Sun Cuilan frowned. After buying the tricycle, they would have very little money left.
"If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Even if it's not cheap, you have to buy one. With a tricycle, our safety factor will increase a lot. Moreover, this is an investment. Sooner or later, you will earn back the extra money. Just like when we moved to the city, it seems to cost money, but in fact it makes more money and has a high rate of return." Zheng Dandan said to Sun Cuilan with a firm attitude.
"I think what Dandan said makes sense. It's cost-effective to buy a tricycle." Zheng's father supported.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look tomorrow. We don't have any industrial tickets left. After you finish your business tomorrow, exchange them for more industrial tickets." Sun Cuilan was finally persuaded.
