After hearing the price, the aunties gathered together and murmured. Later, they seemed to think that the price was reasonable for buying fresh goods, so one of them shouted cheerfully: "Okay, then give me one dollar first. I'll go to my relatives during the New Year to see if they have eaten it. Haha"
Xu Mengyao packed the food for the aunt neatly, and finally grabbed an extra handful and put it in her hand, saying: "You are a straightforward person at first glance. Since you are the first one to buy, I must give you some extra. I wish you a happy new year and happiness to your family."
The crowd quickly formed a small circle. Seeing this, Brother Hu followed Xu Mengyao's lead and gave a few to the first few people to try. Wenxia watched from the sidelines as Huang Wenbin busied himself packing the food in snakeskin bags. Soon, the three buckets were empty. Huang Wenbin dumped the remaining food onto the table, picked up the three empty buckets, and hurried home.
When he came back, he only had two buckets in his hands and said to Xu Mengyao, "Juan, why don't you go back first? Wenrong may not be able to handle it alone."
Xu Mengyao had no choice but to empty another bucket and carry it back. Once home, she commandeered Huang's mother's stove and even asked her to help deliver the goods. The two sisters worked together, and indeed, the delivery was much faster. Some villagers came to buy some goods, and she noticed Aunt Feng looking back and forth from a distance several times, but she had no time to pay attention to her.
It wasn't until after 1 p.m. that everyone went home at Xu Mengyao's urging. Although everyone was exhausted, they were mostly excited and satisfied.
Huang Wenbin sighed, "This morning is equivalent to several days of our normal time."
Xu Mengyao reminded: "Because every family stockpiles goods before the New Year, so many people from the surrounding villages have to come to our street to buy. After the New Year, business will not be so good."
After dinner, Xu Mengyao suggested that everyone take a break and sell more tomorrow morning. The Huang siblings all agreed. Only Brother Hu hesitated and said, "Sister, why don't you make another bucket this afternoon and I'll sell it at the cinema entrance. It's so hard not to make money."
Xu Mengyao was so embarrassed by him that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother Hu, there's no end to making money. My arms are sore from lifting pots and pans today. I can't do this anymore."
Although the large pot on the stove can be shipped quickly, it is heavier and you have to stand the whole time. It is better to sit on a bench and watch the coal stove. After listening to this, Brother Hu hung his head and said nothing.
At this time, Huang Wenrong next to him spoke up: "Brother Hu, I'm not tired, I can do it. You can come and get it after 3:30."
Xu Mengyao looked at her sister in amazement, gave her a thumbs up, and thought: No wonder mother said that my eldest sister is a money-grubber, she is really working hard.
They worked like this until the end of the month, when they ran out of materials. Xu Mengyao announced she was closing the shop and preparing for the Lunar New Year. After deducting costs and the four people's salaries during those twenty days, Xu Mengyao had made a net profit of 1,855 yuan.
She gave each of the four people an extra 20 yuan as a bonus to thank them for their hard work over the past few days. Seeing everyone's happy faces after receiving the money, she felt a great sense of accomplishment. She herself finally had money. Only with money can money make money, and only with money can there be a sense of security!
