"We are destined to be together. I will give you a discount price, a total of 4 dollars."
Four dollars is not too much for so many big things. Yang Mumu nodded and took out four dollars from his pocket and handed it over.
At the same time, he asked, "Aunt, do you know where I can build boxes? I want to build a few boxes for clothes and cotton wool."
Aunt Yang laughed and clapped her hands. "Mumu, you've asked the right person. I'll take you there. My eldest brother knows how to make cabinets. He's the carpenter in our brigade, and his craftsmanship is the best in our brigade. Most of the people in the brigade work for him. Young people like to ask him to make furniture for their new homes when they get married. I'll take you there so he can give you a discount, a price that a family member would pay. The educated youth would never get that price."
"Then I would like to thank you first, Auntie, it's time to get off work, let's go now."
Yang Mumu was too lazy to go through the trouble herself, so it was convenient to have someone she knew to guide her.
"Okay, leave these things here with me. I'll help you take them to the Youth Home when you come back. I have a cart at home, so it's convenient for transporting things."
Yang Mumu agreed and took Aunt Yang's hand to go to her eldest brother's house.
Aunt Yang’s eldest brother lived not far from here, and it only took him fifteen minutes to walk to the place. Her eldest brother just came back with a hoe.
"Brother, let me introduce you to a new educated youth in our brigade, Yang Mumu, from our family. She wants to make a cabinet, so I brought her to you specially. You have to give her a price of your own."
Aunt Yang came close to her eldest brother and whispered, "I heard from the team leader that she will be our team's scorekeeper in the future, and this educated youth is a very nice person."
After hearing this, Aunt Yang's eldest brother looked at Yang Mumu with a smile on his face and said, "You want to open the cabinet? Okay, since you are brought by my sister, we are still relatives, so I must give you our own price. Come in with me."
"Thank you, Uncle Yang."
Yang Mumu followed Uncle Yang into the backyard, selected some wood, and made two 100*50*46 storage boxes with camphor wood.
As shown in the picture: If you use this box to make a large cabinet that can hold several quilts, the total cost of wood and labor is 7 yuan.
Aunt Yang's brother thought that he would not lose money by giving her this price, as the wood came from trees on the firewood mountain that was allocated to his family. Although he gave her a generous price, he was only paying for the time cost and craftsmanship.
Compared with the three cents per work point he earned during a working day, even if he earned a full ten work points in a day, he would only earn thirty cents. However, he could earn back the seven yuan by using his rest time to process boxes in just six or seven days, which was definitely a huge profit.
Yang Mumu thought that to make these things in the city, one needed furniture tickets. Plus, the most popular boxes for weddings were made of camphor wood, which were even more expensive. It would definitely be more than that.
Neither side will lose money, it is a win-win for both parties.
She calculated it in her mind, said nothing, and gave the 7 dollars readily.
When Uncle Yang sent Yang Mumu out, he reminded her, "It will take at most seven days. Then I will send the box to the Youth Home for you. But you can't tell others the price. I used to sell it to the Youth Home twice as much. If anyone asks, just tell them it's double the price."
Yang Mumu smiled happily and nodded: "Okay, uncle, I will definitely not leak a single word. Thank you, uncle. If there are any new educated youth who want to make these things, I will introduce them to you."
These frank words also made Uncle Yang happy.
"Okay, then uncle will thank you in advance. I will make sure you can use the box on time."
After leaving Uncle Yang's house, she returned to Aunt Yang's house to push her things, and Aunt Yang personally helped her deliver them to the yard.
"Mumu, remember to help your aunt spread the word."
Yang Mumu held Aunt Yang's hand and responded loudly, "Okay, Aunt, I will definitely help you promote. Given our relationship, if someone asks me, I will recommend you first. But whether they go or not is not up to me to decide. But if I need anything in the future, I will come to you to choose."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back first."
Aunt Yang's face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and she pushed the cart back happily.
Yang Mumu moved all the things into the house, picked them up one by one, and placed the dustpans and baskets against the wall.
At this time, He Yuan and Xia Zhizhi, who had gone out to buy things, just came back. When they saw what she was packing, they ran over to ask curiously.
"Mumu, you've thought of everything. I didn't even think about buying these things. Where did you get them? I want to buy some too."
He Yuan touched the broom with her left hand and the dustpan with her right hand, feeling extremely curious.
Yang Mumu immediately kept his promise and recommended it to them.
"It's the one who painted the white walls not far from us. They have the same last name as me. They got it from Aunt Yang. Her eldest brother is a carpenter and can make cabinets."
"Okay, I'll go get some back."
He Yuan didn't even hesitate. After finding the place, she turned around and prepared to buy it.
"Wait for me, I'll go take a look too." Xia Zhizhi shouted from behind and ran up.
Liu Qingwan had just returned from talking to the captain about building a separate house, and when he saw the things they were moving, he went over there to exchange them.
After a while, Gu Xingzhou and Song Yan passed by and saw Yang Mumu recommending it again, so they went to buy it. Li Jianhua heard it from behind and followed them.
In the end, even Lu Qianyao, who came back dejected, went to change the broom.
When Yang Mumu saw this expression and saw him coming back carrying a broom, he wanted to laugh. He looked a bit like a jinx.
Over there, Aunt Yang and her eldest brother received several big orders in succession, all wanting the same item that Yang Mumu bought. They were so happy that they couldn't help showing their teeth.
In just a short while, Yang Mumu promoted their products for them and attracted so much business, allowing them to make a lot of money. They liked Yang Mumu even more sincerely.
This kid is very capable. He really helps when there's work to do and really does promote things. I have to send him something to thank him.
In return for the favor, Aunt Yang personally gave Yang Mumu two more baskets to express her gratitude after finishing her work.
Uncle Yang was thinking that he had to work overtime to finish the boxes and cabinets for her as soon as possible, and then use the remaining wooden boards to make a shoe rack to give to this child. Such a good child must be treated well.
Holding the colander, Yang Mumu also mentally classified Aunt Yang as someone she could get along with.
The next day, the first day of work, Yang Mumu went to the team strictly according to the specified time.
When the team leader introduced her to the brigade accountant and handed over the scorekeeper job to her, she was a little surprised when she found out who the accountant was.
