Take Taobao to ancient times

After the first time, there will be a second time. The first time the uncle's family and the second uncle's family sold charcoal was indeed under the influence of Lu Siyu, but the second time they took the initiative to send the charcoal over, and the sale was not cheap. s price.

The next night, the two families and Lu Siyu had dinner together.

"I thought this year would be difficult, but I didn't expect to find a good deal right now. This is all thanks to Xiaoyu's idea. I said that a scholar is a good person. If she didn't study, Xiaoyu wouldn't be so smart." The second aunt was boasting to Lu Siyu, and she seemed to have completely forgotten that not long ago she was feeling that Lu Siyu only knew how to read.

Lu Siyu was aware of the second aunt's temperament, and was not angry. He just smiled lightly and said, "Books are dead, but people are alive. Some people are dead no matter how many books they read. Some people can read books after only a few." Live, maybe that’s the difference.”

"That's right, that's the reason," Second Auntie nodded quickly, regardless of whether she understood or not.

Lu Siyu shook his head with a light smile, then looked at the silent uncle and uncle: "Is business going well today?"

"It's okay," the uncle said silently, "it's just that I always feel that it's not good for us to do business alone."

Uncle's temper has always been like this, he has a good character and is an honest person, that's why he told his uncle to take good care of Lu Siyu and the four of them after Lu's father and mother passed away. Although his business is a small business, he did make a lot of money this day, and he felt a little sorry for the money.

"This matter is easy to handle, why not let everyone do this business together." Lu Siyu chuckled lightly.

"How can this work? Everyone has made money, but we can't make money." The second aunt was out of temper, and she opened her mouth directly. Just take care of yourself.

"I think Xiaoyu is right." The second uncle glanced at the second aunt, "This business cannot be done by our family."

"But..." The second aunt wanted to say something else.

"Shut up." The second uncle scolded coldly, it's fine if the couple's selfish words are said at home, but it's not very pleasant to say outside.

"Second Uncle, please don't be angry," Lu Siyu said hastily, "Actually, I think what Second Uncle Niang said is also reasonable. Everyone's life is hard, and we can't patronize other people's business, but there is one thing. Are there not many charcoal stocks?"

Every household in the countryside will store some charcoal, but not a lot. After all, there are only so many opportunities to use charcoal, and there is not much scope of application. The charcoal that has been sold for two days will naturally be greatly reduced.

"Then burn it again." Second Auntie said suddenly.

Lu Siyu shook his head: "It's too late, let's not talk about how much work we need to burn charcoal, even if the weather is getting hotter, everyone in the town will have fewer opportunities to use charcoal, so the consumption of charcoal will be greatly reduced in the future. I have to keep my own charcoal for my own use, and if I sell them all, my life will not be easy in the future."

"That's right, Xiao Yu is still smart, as expected of someone who has studied," the second aunt praised repeatedly, and was completely convinced by Lu Siyu, "Then Xiao Yu, what do you think should be done?"

"We don't have enough charcoal, but there are still many people in the village who have charcoal at home. This year is difficult for everyone. I think it's better to help everyone and let everyone in the village go to the town to sell charcoal. But if someone If you don't want to go to the town, we can buy it at a slightly lower price than the town." Lu Siyu said in a low voice, although Lujia Village is not far from the town, there are still some people who are not willing to go to the town in the cold, so that , They can also do a reselling business.

"Ah? You mean we buy at a low price and resell them? Isn't that good?" Rao's second aunt had a straightforward temper, and she was a little embarrassed at this time. The rural people are sincere, and this kind of reselling business is really not good. Feel free to start.

But Lu Siyu shook his head: "Our prices are completely open. If the villagers want it, they can go to the town to sell it by themselves. If they don't want to, they can sell it to the uncle and the second uncle's family. Not to mention anything else, the village also pays for hiring people to work. Selling something, not to mention we have to take the goods to the town and county to sell, this is not something ordinary people can do."

"It's feasible," the uncle nodded, "we'll tell everyone the price of buying charcoal in the town, and then set a suitable purchase price. If you want to go to the town, you can sell it yourself. If you don't want to, let us go. If we sell it on behalf of others, we will earn a little money and not much money.”

After everyone discussed it, the uncle went to the village head early the next morning and told him about it.

In the past two days, Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu's family has been busy, and many people have noticed it, and some of them quietly found the village head to inquire about this matter. The village head was in a panic, but Uncle Lu actually came to the door Come.

After hearing Uncle Lu's narration, the village head immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, okay, I'm going to call the villagers to talk about this matter. If I can really make some money, this year will be a lot easier."

The efficiency of the village chief was naturally high, and he summoned all the villagers in a short while, repeated Uncle Lu's words, and emphasized that it was up to everyone whether he sold it to the town or to Uncle Lu's family.

Uncle Lu's purchase price is not high, which is about the same as the price they sell in the town. Ten catties is only about a penny. If the quantity is small, the difference is not too big. It's not much worse, and that's why Uncle Lu didn't rely on this matter to make money.

The price of charcoal sold by Uncle Lu’s house was three Wen a catty, and thirty Wen for ten catties of charcoal. In such weather, bury three or four catties of charcoal in the fire pit, and it can burn for nearly two hours, and then you can sleep in the bed for a warm sleep.

This is also the difference between the rural areas in the south and the rural areas in the north. The winter in the northern rural areas lasts for a long time, so basically every household sleeps on a kang. When the fire is burned at night, sleeping in the bed is absolutely warm, but the south is different. The winter in the south lasts for a short time. , and there is no kang, but in this era without air conditioning, even in towns and counties, every household has special equipment for burning charcoal. The charcoal is red, and sitting next to it is warmer than the bed.

There is a heavy snowfall in the south right now, and it was even colder when it just started to melt. In addition, roads were blocked in many places, and the supply of charcoal was insufficient, which made Lujiacun pick up a leak.

When the village chief shared the news, soon someone was ready to move, wanting to send the family's charcoal to the town for sale immediately.

The village chief also knew everyone's excitement, so he let everyone go without wasting too much time.

And here, Uncle Lu also returned home. He thought that many people should be rushing to sell charcoal right now, but not long after he arrived home, someone brought his own charcoal over.

"Uncle, our family doesn't have much charcoal, so why don't we just sell it to you?"

Ten catties of charcoal earns one penny less, and one hundred catties of charcoal loses ten pennies. If they can be sold, they will make a net profit of 290 pennies, which is not bad for the ten pennies.

Those who sent the charcoal to Uncle Lu's house were not only those who didn't have much charcoal at home, but also some honest people who knew that they didn't know how to run a business and didn't know where to sell it, so they all went to Uncle Lu's house.

For these people, Uncle Lu gave money directly and straightforwardly, not only the money for buying charcoal in the past two days, but also took out the copper coins at the bottom of the box at home, and collected the charcoal from these people in advance.

The uncle hesitated while paying the money: "I said we collect so much charcoal, what if we can't sell it?"

"This..." Uncle hesitated, "Why don't you ask Xiao Yu?"

I don't know why, after these two days, my uncle suddenly trusted Lu Siyu, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, so when my uncle asked, he thought of Lu Siyu, and wanted him to give him an idea.

"That's a good way, I'll go find Xiaoyu right away." The auntie said quickly, and rushed to Lu Siyu's house excitedly, explaining her reason for coming.

Lu Siyu was leading the three children to clean up. Hearing what the auntie said, he looked up at her and frowned slightly: "How about it, auntie, let me go over and have a look, estimate how many there are, and then make plans?"

"Okay, let's do this, then let's go." He followed his aunt to his uncle's house, followed by a bunch of little ones.

When he arrived at the uncle's house, Lu Siyu finally saw the pair of charcoals, which were more than he imagined.

"Xiao Yu, you're here," the uncle rubbed his hands, which had turned black from touching the charcoal. He looked at Lu Siyu helplessly, and said embarrassedly, "Everyone brought a lot of charcoal over here, I'm sorry No charge."

"I know," Lu Siyu looked at his uncle, "Is uncle wondering how to sell the charcoal?"

"Yes, yes, yes," the uncle nodded quickly, "Now everyone is sending charcoal to the town. I don't know if there are so many people wanting to buy charcoal."

Lu Siyu frowned slightly: "Uncle, have you considered sending it to the county?"

"County?" The uncle was surprised, but quickly waved his hands, "I dare not, the county is full of big families, they must dislike our charcoal."

Lu Siyu smiled: "Actually, charcoal, isn't it all pitch black? How do you know if you haven't tried it? The charcoal in the town should be a little saturated right now. If we want to sell it, we will naturally sell it at a higher place. As for whether you will dislike it or not?" , we can pick one first, pick out a pile of larger ones, and a pile of smaller ones. Those big households use more charcoal than small households. It is estimated that there is no inventory in the previous heavy snowfall. Now we It's just right to send it."

Small households burn charcoal at night at most, but large households probably use charcoal all day long. During this period of time, the roads are congested, and there is a real possibility of a shortage of charcoal.

"Is it really possible?" Uncle asked subconsciously, but he already believed in Lu Siyu in his heart.

"How about this, I went to the county with my uncle and my uncle, and my uncle and my second uncle stayed at home to collect charcoal, and sieved the charcoal by the way. The good pile and the poor pile were all made of good bamboo. Once the baskets are loaded, let's send a batch to the county to try." Lu Siyu said, he also wanted to visit the county.

"Okay, let's do it like this." The uncle responded quickly, and suddenly became interested.
