The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1577 [1576] Buying weights

When Tan Yue came, she should have been more relaxed, but the kind-hearted Ding Wei was afraid that the little girl would not adapt to life in the capital, so she stayed at home every day and if there was no class in the afternoon, she borrowed books and went home to accompany her.

"Sister, don't worry about me. I'm quite adaptable. I finished my work this morning and copied a manuscript for you. You can see if it works later. Sister, your handwriting is really beautiful. I I’m too embarrassed to show you what I wrote.”

"Practicing handwriting also requires long-term practice. Don't worry, take your time. When I am free, I will show you the handwriting you wrote. As long as you change the habit of writing, you will soon be able to change it. Xiang The word Xiang used to be like this, but it’s much better now.”

Her calligraphy is the accumulation of several lifetimes of experience, and no one can compare to it. Even today's calligraphers are not as good as one-third of hers. This is the confidence she should have.

What Ding Wei asked Tan Yue to copy was the English translation. She was not used to copying the novel by someone else, so she simply didn't give it to her.

Even if it is an English translation, it needs repeated chewing and refinement to make it more perfect, so she needs to revise and revise the manuscript the first time, and then transcribe it when it is almost done. After Tan Yue came, I was afraid that she would be bored, Ding A job that Wei specially handed over to her.

Judging from the words on the manuscript, she wrote very seriously. Although she is not very satisfied with the results, she should be given a period of time to adapt.

After all, it is impossible for anyone to be herself, so why should she demand her own demands from others?

In the past, Tan Yue couldn't imagine the difference between college students and high school students. She has been in junior high school for one year, and her English learning is limited to the reading and writing of the 26 English letters. She didn't even learn the phonetic symbols. When Wei directly took the original manuscript and began to translate, she was stunned.

"Sister Weiwei, you are too good. You are a medical student. Why are you so good at foreign languages? No wonder Ding Xiang is the representative of the English class. She speaks English better than our teacher. Not only is it standard, but the writing is also beautiful. None of our teachers can match her pronunciation, but unfortunately we are far away, and she has limited opportunities to teach me."

"Learning English is also a gradual process. Language learning requires not only the environment, but also patience and perseverance. If you want to learn, we will start from scratch. I will give you some homework every day. Let's take it slowly,"

Not only did Tan Yue agree, but she was also very eager.

Ding Wei knew that Tan Yue had a solid foundation in elementary school, and she only knew the information from Ding Xiang, so she randomly produced a test paper, and found that Tan Yue really had a talent for learning, and besides, she was not too old. She has studied for several years, but as long as she is willing to learn, it will be easy to get into a technical secondary school.

With this idea in mind, Ding Wei decided not to let her stay in the capital for these years in vain. It just so happened that she herself had the desire to learn English, so she really put it into action and started teaching the 26 English letters.

The early study does not require her to waste a lot of energy. The effective study time of one hour a day is completely up to her to practice and read aloud. In addition to school study, Ding Wei also writes novels and translates manuscripts, even because of her good English. , and was called by the teacher to do some paperwork. Anyway, she is very busy, much busier than Xiumin.

Fortunately, she sometimes has no time to go home. Xiumin will help Ding Wei teach Tan Yue when she returns home. With these two private tutors from college students, Tan Yue's progress is also increasing day by day.

After more than a week of familiarization, Tan Yue has been able to boldly place the basket at her door and sell eggs.

But it may take a few days to save these eggs before they can be sold for fifteen cents.

Only four duck eggs were raised, and Ding Wei pickled the eggs into salted duck eggs and put them away. When they got up to drink porridge in the morning, they cut up one and ate it. The taste was just right, because raising ducks requires water, although there is a pool in the backyard But it's still too small, and it's dirtier than raising chickens, so I didn't think about increasing the number of ducks.

So they took advantage of the weekend to go to the countryside to buy four female quails, two male quails, ten successfully hatched pullets, and dozens of catties of grain husks. These are essential nutrients for raising these little guys. There are a lot of spare rooms in the cover room, so keep it and have a look.

Ding Wei's house must not be able to use up the excrement from washing the chicken house and duck house, so she asked the fellow villagers who came to pull the manure and asked them to come and pull the manure once a week. Not only did they agree, but they also treated Ding Wei Thank you.

Their chicken house is cleaned diligently, not dirty, almost tasteless, there is noise, but not loud, so no neighbors complained about them.

On the contrary, the renters in the front yard were very surprised that Ding Wei and the other little girls could feed chickens, ducks and quails, and even bought a few because their eggs were bigger, which was much more affordable than the same price outside.

No matter who collects eggs every day, they will take the small ones and keep them for themselves, and sell the big ones.

There is chicken feces on the surface of the eggs, and they will not be washed with water, which will damage the surface protection layer, so buying such eggs is a very normal phenomenon in this era.

Eggs are sold at most [-] eggs a week, because the quantity is not large, so one or two people can make rounds when they come over.

Ding Wei also taught Tan Yue to make some handmade soaps, which are made with a lot of plant ash water, oil and spices. The spices can be bought in chemical stores. The handmade soaps they make have a unique taste and are relatively affordable. Although it is not a branded product, it is quite clean after washing your hands and face. The key price is also cheap. You can buy a large piece for ten cents, which is enough for a month or two.

They don't make handmade soap every day, but they need to accumulate plant ash for a month. In order to get more plant ash, Tan Yue goes out to collect firewood almost every day. As long as it is not raining or windy, she will ride a tricycle to the suburbs to collect Firewood, the firewood picked up can not only be used for cooking, but also can be saved to make handmade soap.

"Since you go to the countryside every day, why don't you buy some eggs and make marinated eggs, and then ride a tricycle to a crowded place in the morning to sell marinated eggs. How about it? Do you dare to try?"

There are many ways to make stewed eggs, there are simple salted stewed eggs, tea eggs, and fragrant stewed eggs marinated in stewed broth...

"You try the most common salted eggs first. You only need to buy enough big ingredients, put rock sugar, seasonings and soy sauce in salt water and soak the boiled and cracked eggs. We have bicycles and this kind of fire in winter. Little stove, you can drive it to a crowded place and try to see if you can sell it!"

It’s hard to talk about everything: “It’s hard to yell out the first cry, but if you really want to yell, that’s all. You won’t have any pressure later.”

Tan Yue really didn't dare, but seeing Ding Wei's encouraging eyes, she wanted to try again, so they made eight marinated eggs that night.

After tasting the braised eggs made by Ding Wei, Tan Yue really felt that her taste buds had been developed.

"It's delicious. It's delicious. I never knew that eggs can do this. I used to eat boiled eggs only when my grandma was around. I didn't dare to think about fried eggs. I have eaten poached eggs. My scrambled eggs are only It can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, and I have never tried this way of eating, Sister Wei, you are so amazing, it seems that there is no one who can’t do it.”

"Trying needs a process. Don't worry, you can learn it slowly. Here, here is 20 yuan, which is the start-up capital I gave you. Tomorrow, you go to the countryside to wholesale eggs. We will sell them for [-] cents. You want more at a time, see if you can get [-] cents, [-] cents, this is up to you to figure out the price, earn more if you get more, and earn less if you get less.”

"Everyone knows the price of eggs. You can sell them for fifty cents or two at most. You can only sell them at a lower price, but not higher than this price. If it is higher, no one will want it. After buying eggs, you can buy these kinds of big ingredients. , the price of aniseed ingredients is not cheap, salt and soy sauce are not expensive, but aniseed ingredients are expensive, which is why the purchase price is [-] cents, and the selling price is [-] cents, which is a bit unreasonable. This is not counting firewood, water, briquettes, etc. Cost, by the way, you have to buy a relatively good pot. You don’t need to worry about the pot, you just buy aniseed and eggs. Since we are going to make it, we have to make delicious food, so that you can earn money. "

"The cost is all paid by me. See if you can sell it for twenty-five cents. If you can't sell it, keep the cost at eight cents. Then I will give you three cents for each. I earn five cents. If you can earn ten cents , I will give you five or five points, provided that after all the costs are paid back, don't rush to refuse, listen to me."

"You are not too old now. If you are given the opportunity to make money, you can save money for school. In the future, you can choose to continue to follow me or go back to your hometown to go to school. We all respect you, but the premise is that you have to learn to be self-reliant. I can give you a chance, and the specific step to take is up to you."

When she heard that she could continue to go to school, Tan Yue was excited, her little eyes sparkled with excitement: "Really, really?"

"Yes, what I said naturally counts. Do you feel motivated now?"

"Sister, no matter how difficult it is, I will try it. Isn't it just thick-skinned? If thick-skinned food can be eaten, then I must try it!"

With motivation, Tan Yue began to plan what she needed to buy the next day. When she got Ding Wei's money, she also gave her a notebook.

"Here, just use this plastic notebook to keep accounts. How much you spend, how much you receive, and how much you have left every day is clear at a glance. This is the so-called purchase, sales and storage account, isn't it? Come, let me teach you how to do this account .”

Ding Wei taught Tan Yue hand in hand, Tan Yue learned seriously, and from time to time asked a few things that she would face when she bargained tomorrow. Ding Wei not only taught her how to negotiate with people, but also taught her how to develop them into long-term farmers.

"Now chickens are allowed to be raised in rural areas. Basically, they can be sold for [-] to [-] cents alone. If the eggs are small, they can be sold for [-] cents. You can also sort them when you buy them. The larger ones are more expensive. A little, the smaller one is cheaper, or you can just buy the small one, or just buy the big one, the price is up to you,”

"Some are sold by the catty, not by the individual. The price per catty is about one yuan and two, because there are seven or eight eggs per catty, so the price difference is not too much. Would you consider the scale?"

Tan Yue nodded fiercely, "Yes, I will. My sister-in-law works at the vegetable station. I have helped out occasionally, and I know how to read the scale."

"We have to buy a steelyard for ourselves. Some people who are not in their duty will tamper with the scale. When they weigh, you should remember to see if there is any magnet under their weighing pan. As long as the difference is not bad, it doesn't matter. But if there is really someone who cares about you, if you cooperate once, then don’t cooperate again, such people can easily get themselves into trouble.”

Tan Yue listened thoughtfully, and Ding Wei gave her a detailed analysis of who was difficult to deal with and who was easy to talk to.

"I'll buy pots and scales. You can try to buy others, and I won't bother you. Don't be afraid of being fooled. Buy it once and come back. The quality is good and the price is fair. We will go there often. Otherwise, change places. Replacement, after all, there is more than one family that sells these things."

In this day and age, all kinds of businesses are still in the hands of the state, and most people still do their jobs, and the quality is right for the price they charge. With the spring breeze of reform and opening up, many people think Bad people start to be moths, cheating, cheating, and shoddy, how few people like this have been in the past and present?

Or do you say that there is no profiteering and no business, or is it that ancient businessmen are not as good as farmers and workers?There is a reason for this.

Not only Tan Yue was listening carefully, even Xiu Min nodded frequently. When Tan Yue went to cook, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is there such a big gap between people, we are about the same size, but I feel that I have lived in vain all these years, let alone seeing people, I don't understand the big principles and small wisdom you said, sometimes It's hard to touch that string, and you don't think about it at all, I think you really have a delicate heart, so perfect, I can't find your shortcomings at all."

Ding Wei couldn't hear such a compliment: "You praise me so much because you didn't get involved in this aspect. Tan Yue actually sold my mother's Liangpi for a while before, so she understood a little bit, but after a long time, she changed it again. It's normal for her to feel apprehensive when she arrives in a big city. You can see that there are more and more stalls outside. I think we can let her try it. What if it's a way of doing business?"

Let's make small troubles this year, and next year she will let her pull into the car to sell snacks. Naturally, the money will be made more and more, and the business will grow bigger and bigger.

If people want to achieve self-breakthrough, they have to take the first step that they dare not take. Only when they feel that the first step is safe, can they dare to continue to toss. Doing business is actually the same as driving a car. Go with the flow, and don't be soft-hearted.

Ding Wei doesn't want to tell them too many great truths for the time being, only when they successfully set up a stall can they realize how difficult everything is at the beginning.

After school that afternoon, Ding Wei went to the hardware store to buy a thick iron pot with a lid, which cost eight yuan.

I bought two more steelyards, I just weighed an egg every day, and the kind of ordinary steelyard that sells a vegetable, I bought a ten-jin one, a thirty-jin one, and the ten-jin long head was copper-clad, with red ropes and weights , This one costs two yuan, and the [-]-jin one costs three yuan, a total of five yuan.

The three together add up to 13 yuan.
