1987: Sleepless Tonight

It is best to get some Moutai in the store.

Lu Hao thought.

For cigarettes, you have to get some big brands of cigarettes, rare products from other provinces.

What you have that others don't, will show up big.

When it was time to get off work, Lu Hao picked up some vegetables, hugged a big watermelon, and drove back.

When he got downstairs, Huang Minghua from the canteen took the initiative to call him, "Boss Lu, we sold 16 bottles of soda today."

Lu Hao nodded.

The sales volume is a bit low. There are many families living in the dormitory building, and they only sell 16 bottles in a day. The price is more expensive than other brands of soda, which should be the main reason.

The price difference of 5 cents can buy a catty of green vegetables. Even if there is a possibility of winning the lottery, many people still choose the cheaper soda, and the economic conditions of many families in the garment factory are not good.

However, one day's time can't explain anything. The chance is relatively large. It will take at least a week or even longer to come to the conclusion that both the supply and marketing cooperative and his own store are selling well, so he doesn't panic.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of the canteen is that it covers a wide area. Even if there are more than 100 supply and marketing cooperatives in the city, the coverage point is actually relatively small, but the canteen can be found in every village, and every street in the town.

The potential is huge.

Holding the watermelon in his arms and serving the dishes, Lu Hao went upstairs and entered the house.

As soon as the door opened, Nini stared at the watermelon in his hand, "Mom, look quickly, Dad brought back a big watermelon, bigger than my stomach."

She ran over, "Dad, come on, give me the watermelon."

"Then you have to hug it." Lu Hao gently put the watermelon in her hand.

He quickly put the dishes on the table and stood by, waiting for the girl to call him for help.

Connie blushed, she moved the watermelon into the kitchen and put it in the bucket, then moved the bucket with a grunt, wanting to go out, "I'll fetch the water, wash the watermelon, and then let's eat the watermelon."

"Isn't it heavy?" Lu Hao asked.

The watermelon is very big, about 10 catties. I thought the girl would call him for help, but I didn't expect to carry it to the kitchen, put it in the bucket, and moved the bucket a little bit, thinking of fetching water at the end of the corridor, but I didn't make a sound.

The food potential is huge!

"We're going to eat soon, what watermelon are we going to eat?" Su Min asked, "Watermelon costs [-] cents a catty, and it's such a big one, so it's worth [-] yuan? I just ate it a few days ago, so don't always bring such expensive fruits back home." .”

The wholesale price is 1 cents, and the selling price is 4 cents. A 2-jin watermelon costs 10 yuan, which is enough to weigh two catties of meat.

"Then I'll go get some water and soak it until we're done eating." Nini didn't give up.

I have a little cough, and Su Min is not allowed to eat the iced fruit.

She added, "Auntie Chen brought rice wine over just now, and we have to reciprocate. We can't finish eating such a big watermelon, so we can share some with her."

Lu Hao looked at the refrigerator and asked Su Min, "Has the little widow brought rice wine over again?"

"Well, she was very polite and brought over a lot of rice wine. Nini and I ate some just now, and there is still a lot, enough for two or three days." Su Min nodded.

"If so much is stored in the refrigerator for a long time, it will easily go bad." Lu Hao said, "I'm afraid she is a bit stupid."

After complimenting the rice wine once, Chen Linjiao remembered that the ingredients for making rice wine are not expensive, but it takes some time.

Su Min gave him a white look, "It's his intention, how could you say that? I'll send half of the watermelon up later, we can't finish eating such a big watermelon."

"Then I'll fetch water, and deliver watermelon to Aunt Chen after dinner." Nini was full of motivation again.

After beating around for a long time, she still wanted to eat watermelon.

In order to eat, this girl really not only has great strength, but also has a very flexible mind.

"Father will help you." Lu Hao went over, picked up the bucket in one hand, picked up Nini in the other, and went to the end of the corridor.

After receiving the water, soak the watermelon in it, and put the rice on the table.

Lu Hao looked at Su Min, "I'll give the little widow a watermelon later, let's go out as a family to digest food."

"Yeah." Su Min nodded.

She only thought that what Lu Hao said was just walking around the courtyard of the community and blowing some air.

After eating and sitting for a while, Lu Hao and Nini went upstairs to the door of the little widow Chen Linjiao's house after cutting a small half of the watermelon.

The door is closed.

"Aunt Chen, I'm bringing you watermelon." Nini has the temperament of a social cow, and she didn't know Chen Linjiao very well before, but after only a few days of work, she shouted that she was very close.

"I'm here too." Lu Hao interjected.

On a hot day, the door is closed, and there is another woman, so I am afraid of being cool in the room.

Not suitable for children.

The door opened, and Chen Linjiao was neatly dressed and eating, but it was relatively simple, just a plate of potatoes and some pickles.

"Aunt Chen, Dad brought back a watermelon, cut it in half and brought it to you. It has been soaked in water just now, and it's still cold, but it's not as iced as it was taken out of the refrigerator. It won't hurt your stomach if you eat it." The piece of watermelon was still held by Nini.

The girl raised her stomach and lifted the watermelon up, "Aunt Chen, help me quickly, it's so heavy, I can't lift it anymore, I carried this watermelon up from downstairs."

Chen Linjiao quickly took it over, "Thank you."

She looked up at Lu Hao again, "How much is it, I'll get it."

Turn around to get the money.

Lu Hao called out to her, "What kind of money do you want? If you really want to give me money if you're still so far away, you might as well throw away this watermelon and feed it to the dogs."

After being yelled at by him, Chen Linjiao fell silent.

"Father, what are you feeding the dog with such a big watermelon? Even if Auntie Chen doesn't want it, you can still leave it for me to eat." Nini's focus was very different, "You're such a waste!"

She looked at Chen Linjiao, "Aunt Chen, this is something to share, you can't ask for money, I still have it at home."

Lu Hao looked at Chen Linjiao who was rubbing the corner of his clothes, "Don't send rice wine next time."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chen Linjiao to reply, he added, "Don't think too much, the rice wine you made is delicious, but you can't finish it with so much, it's a waste and wastes your time."

Chen Linjiao's dim eyes lit up instantly.

She really thought about it just now.

"You are so old, you have been married, and you are still so sensitive." Lu Hao shook his head, "Don't leave the watermelon overnight, you don't have a refrigerator, eat it today."

He and Nini turned around and went out the door.

Chen Linjiao followed and sent them to the corner of the stairs. She watched Lu Hao and Nini go downstairs. She was expressing her gratitude in this way.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go downstairs for a stroll." Lu Hao took a piece of watermelon, took a bite, and said.

The door is locked, a family of three, each holding a piece of watermelon, went downstairs.

Lu Hao walked directly to the gate of the community. Su Min was surprised when he saw it, "Go outside the courtyard?"

"Well, let's go outside." Lu Hao nodded.

He took the mother and daughter to the direction of the vegetable market.
