Reborn Craftsman

"Oh!" Liu Xing was not surprised when he heard that.

After all, it's very refreshing to have a popsicle in your mouth on this hot day.

Seeing that Yaya was sitting at the gate and eating popsicles, she didn't pay attention to the wound from the wasp sting in the morning, so she walked over with a smile.

"Brother, my grandfather has made a lot of popsicles!" As soon as we met, Yaya handed Liu Xing the half-eaten popsicle, her little face was full of joy.

Liu Xing saw that it wasn't good to pick it up, and it wasn't good if he didn't pick it up, so he picked up Yaya and walked towards the bamboo building in a daze: "Brother doesn't eat Yaya's popsicles, I will ask the village chief later!"

"Yeah, yum!" Yaya nodded repeatedly, her little hand was purple from the ice, but she still refused to put the popsicle.

In the living room, Village Chief Wang's face, which was stung by the wasp, has healed a lot, at least his eyes are no longer a line. When he saw Liu Xing came back, he immediately picked up a popsicle in the mold and handed it over: "Little Liu, come and taste my craft."

"Good!" Liu Xing put down the Yaya in his hand, took the popsicle and started to eat it.

"Hmm! It tastes good!" Liu Xing couldn't help but praised.

The sweet taste is just right, even the mung beans are not as rough as the morning ones, and this bite is very refreshing.

No wonder Da Kui was transported to Banqiao Town to sell and then disappeared. This is even better than those professional wholesale popsicles!

Village head Wang knew that Liu Xing was not lying, so he stroked his beard and smiled in relief: "Xiao Liu, it was you who proposed using saltpeter to make popsicles. It stands to reason that Dongyu Village shouldn't spy on the profits, but Our Dongyu Village is poor! So I want you to be more accommodating, can you make it easier for us to earn money for food?"

"Village chief, if you say this, you are out of your mind. If you want to use saltpeter to make popsicles to make money, just let it go. After all, this is a resource that your Dongyu Village can use. If it is in my place, it will not be so good. condition."

Liu Xing's words were not flattering at all, he was telling the truth, and most importantly, he never thought of taking the method of making popsicles from saltpeter for himself.

Even if you think about it, if it spreads, there will be no secrets at all, so it's better to sell it to Dongyu Village as a favor.

Besides, there are seasons for buying popsicles, and they can only be sold in summer. In winter and spring, I'm afraid no one will buy them.

Chapter 145 No Bragging

Seeing Liu Xing being so reasonable, Village Chief Wang was moved and said, "No wonder Mr. Zhang said that you are very different from other children. I still didn't understand what he meant at the time. Now it seems that you are indeed different. ah!"

"What are you talking about? I don't have one nose and two eyes, but an ordinary person!" Liu Xing sneered and waved his hands: "You can continue to work on your work! But I and the dozens of villagers who built bamboo houses for Ah Hu are really hungry. Now, can you ask some more people to help with the cooking?"

"Oh! Look at how busy I am, I almost forgot that there are so many people waiting to eat!" Village Chief Wang slapped his forehead and ran away in a hurry.

Liu Xing saw Yaya poking her head beside the mold for making popsicles, and immediately hugged her up: "You can't eat too many popsicles, your grandpa should be anxious when your stomach hurts."

"I only ate six today!" Yaya stretched out five fingers on her right hand.

Puff~~!

Liu Xing was amused by Yaya's adorable appearance: "Can you count?"

"Yes! Grandpa taught me!" Yaya raised her head confidently.

"That's good, but don't do what you just did in the future!" Seeing that there was no one in the living room, Liu Xing immediately walked out with Yaya in his arms.

At the gate, I ran into Da Kui who was busy.

Dakui was holding a big foam box in his hand, and his head was sweating. Seeing that Liu Xing was almost hit, he quickly freed his right hand to hold it: "I'm sorry! Are you okay!"

"It's okay!" Liu Xing said repeatedly.

"Then I'm busy!" Da Kui walked into the living room, opened the mold, put the popsicles into the foam box, and suddenly turned around and asked Liu Xing, "Xiao Liu, you know a lot, I want to ask you something."

"Speak!" Liu Xing leaned against the gate.

"It's like this. The popsicles I made with molds are in short supply in the town. Many villagers want to ask me to sell them wholesale. I hesitate to do this. After all, retail can make more money, but the wholesale volume It doesn't seem like a loss!" Da Kui scratched his head and expressed the doubts in his heart.

"If you want to make money from popsicles, you must do both retail and wholesale!" Liu Xing thought for a while and replied: "But popsicles are seasonal, if I were you, I would use saltpeter to make ice and research other things that can be sold for money , to fill in the gaps.”

"For example?" Da Kui held his breath.

Liu Xing's idea coincides with his, but more farsighted.

In fact, he had already thought about the seasonal problem of popsicles, but he had only read so much, so he couldn't think of other good ways to deal with it.

"Well!" Liu Xing pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "You can try to go to the city to wholesale some food that is not easy to preserve, such as seafood that is not available in Banqiao Town! There are also things from pigs. Use saltpeter to make ice and save it for sale, don’t underestimate the profit in it, even if you don’t make money, if you earn the electricity bill for the freezer, you will get rich!”

Originally, he didn't want to say this, after all, the thinking in it was a bit advanced. In 1993, the frozen market in the countryside hadn't developed at all, and it was in a state of disarray.

The reason, apart from the fact that the rural areas are too poor and the freezers are too expensive, is that there is no market for the wholesale of the foods he mentioned.

Da Kui still has a long way to go if he wants to do it.

But once it goes through, I'm afraid it will make a fortune.

Da Kui obviously didn't hear the essence of Liu Xing's words, he sighed in disappointment and continued to carry the popsicles in the mold into the big foam box.

This is the best way to sell popsicles in 93, and the foam box not only has light weight, but also plays a role of heat preservation.

Seeing that Dakui was not talking, Liu Xing smiled and hugged Yaya and left.

And at this moment, Village Chief Wang came back.

After Da Kui sorted out the popsicles in the foam box, he told him exactly what Liu Xing had said to him, and also included his disappointment.

Village head Wang Fuxu listened carefully, and after he understood it, he said: "Da Kui! I think Xiao Liu's opinion is feasible, and you don't even think about it. In Banqiao Town, there is not even a large icehouse now! If this is the first of its kind in Dongyu Village, I'm afraid it will really make a lot of money!"

"Because we don't need electricity bills at all for ice making, but only need free saltpeter!" Village Chief Wang added the key point, and his cloudy eyes radiated with wisdom.

Dakui was stunned, carefully recalling the meaning of what Village Chief Wang said, and then his eyes lit up: "Village Chief, you are right, the ice we make does not cost money, this is what we rely on, but other If the village knows the secret of this, I'm afraid it will soon follow suit! After all, there is nothing technical about using saltpeter to make ice!"

"Hahaha... You're wrong. People do everything in the world these days. There are a few who can be technical. The key is to be quick, to make money and gain a foothold in Banqiao Town, understand?" Village Chief Wang asked. Xu laughed out loud, pointing out the key point.

Of course, it was also Dakui's worry.

"I understand!" Da Kui picked up the big foam box: "But now let's sell popsicles to earn some capital first!"

"Yes!" Village Chief Wang nodded and watched Dakui leave.

The current Dongyu Village is really poor, and most of them have no money at all except for food and clothing.

If he can use saltpeter to make ice to get out of the current predicament, then Liu Xing really deserves his credit.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still unknown.

After all, autumn is coming soon, and popsicles, the magical tool for relieving the heat, will probably be eliminated.

……

The grain drying field at the gate of the bamboo building in the village head of Dongyu Village.

Da Kui was carrying a large foam box of popsicles and was about to ride his bicycle to the town to sell, but he was stopped by his short brother Da Shou: "I said Da Kui, it's time for lunch, don't you?" Do you want to rest?"

"You know what a fart, I want to make money! I can earn 20 yuan for a trip to the town!" Da Kui smiled mysteriously, and he was riding a [-] bicycle and preparing to go on the road outside the country.
