The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

"It's sold out, it's sold out." As soon as Uncle Qiao said this, he was very happy, and turned to ask his brother: "How are you doing over there, are the things selling well?"

"It's also sold out."

"You don't know..."

The two brothers were talking while walking, Uncle Qiao opened the door and went into the yard.

Qiao Mingyong pushed the cart and bicycle back to the yard and parked it, and untied all the baskets tied to the rack.Brothers Qiao Mingzhong and Qiao Mingjing went up to help, and the cousins ​​were all talking about going out to sell things today.

It was the first time for everyone to do business and make money, so everyone was very happy.

Aunt Qiao, who was lying down and sleeping in the living room, woke up when she heard the sound outside. She brushed her messy hair twice and went outside. When she saw the man and children back at home, Aunt Qiao rolled her eyes with a smile. Shouted: "They are all back."

"Well, I'm back."

Uncle Qiao went into the house, sat down on a chair by the door, picked up the hookah and started smoking.

"I'm tired after walking so far."

"good."

Seeing that the man at home was sweating all over, Aunt Qiao went to get a cup and poured a few glasses of water over. Seeing that the man was smoking, she put it on the chair next to her and reminded her, "Drink some water, all of you."

"Okay, let's put it first." Uncle Qiao took a puff of his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of mist. He still wanted to take a puff of cigarettes more than drink water.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you. If we need to pour any water, we can do it ourselves. Why do we need to be so polite?" Qiao Chunfu took the water from his sister-in-law and nodded.Aunt Qiao laughed and said, "It's just about pouring a glass of water, so there's no such thing as impoliteness."

"Thank you, aunt." Qiao Minglang followed to the uncle's house, took the water that the aunt handed over, and thanked him.Seeing that the aunt was going to get a cup to pour water for the two young ones, he told the aunt not to bother so much. He poured a glass of water from the cup he drank and handed it to the two young ones.

Qiao Xiaofen drank half a glass of water, and gave the remaining half glass to her younger brother. The siblings hadn't drank water for two and a half days, and they were extremely thirsty, so they drank a glass of water with a gurgle.

The old man who was taking a nap in the house heard the sound outside, thinking that the eldest son and grandchildren had returned, he got up, walked out of the house, and was still wearing the thin shirt outside while walking.When we arrived at the main room, seeing our son and grandchildren had returned, the old man said lightly, "They are all back."

"father."

"grandfather."

"Father, sit here."

"Well, I'll just sit here, you all sit down."

Everyone sat down and took out all the money they earned today. Among the three sales teams today, Uncle Qiao's team went to the town. They sold a lot of things and made the most money.

All the money from the sale was poured out, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Oh, that looks like a lot."

"I don't know if there is 50 yuan."

"..."

Seeing such a large pile of money, everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

"I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've made so much money." Aunt Qiao was talking to her aunt in a low voice, and the two were wondering if there was 50 yuan in it.For them, 50 yuan is already a lot of money.

Huang Yan said firmly, "I think it's more than fifty."

In the past few years, it was not allowed to do business, and in the past few years, no one caught doing business, and gradually courageous people went out to do business.But for their families, apart from raising a few chickens and ducks and picking up some eggs to sell outside, they can't find any profitable livelihood to do.

This day is not bad, but if the family wants to eat and live a good life, they still have to think of a way.

Hearing the sound from outside, Chen Mingzhu put the child to sleep on the bed in the house, and then Chen Mingzhu came out of the room and stood beside her mother-in-law. She was also a little curious about how much money everyone made by going out to do business today.

The old man waved his hand and asked the grandson who read the most here to count the money, "Sun, go and count and see how much we earned today."

"Yes."

Seeing that the old man asked him to count, Qiao Minglang went forward to count the money. He inherited the memories of his youth, and he also knew something about the coins of this era. The coins were as small as ten cents and two cents, and the largest denomination was ten yuan. money.

He only received a few ten-yuan bills when he sold things today, so he is no stranger to this face-value money.He first found out several ten-yuan bills, and counted the ones with large denominations first, and then counted the ones with small denominations.

"It seems that it is really more than 50 yuan." Aunt Qiao covered her mouth and smiled from ear to ear.Huang Yan nodded in agreement, "Maybe there are a hundred."

Several pairs of eyes stared at the teenager who was counting money.

"Ten yuan, 20 yuan... one hundred... 110..." Qiao Minglang is a person who has done business, and it is not too difficult for him to settle accounts, so he quickly calculated the money.He looked up at everyone and reported a number, "The price here is 180, three yuan and twenty cents.

After deducting the money we bought fish and beans today, our net profit is about 110 yuan. "

The fish was bought from their second uncle, and the account has not been settled with the second uncle, and the money has not been given to the second uncle.Also, the beans are from their uncle's family, and the money for the beans has to be reckoned to the uncle's family, so this cost has to be deducted, and the rest is the money they earn.

"Okay, there are more than 100, very good." The old man was very happy to hear that.

"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be so many." There were smiles on everyone's faces, obviously they didn't expect it.

You can make so much money by doing business for the first time.

"Oh, I didn't expect us to sell so much money in one day."

Aunt Qiao originally thought that 100 yuan would be enough, but she didn't expect that it was almost 100 yuan. Even if the capital was removed, they could still earn more than [-] yuan.

Huang Yan nodded with a smile, and replied, "Yes, yes."

If they can earn so much money every day in this way, their family will soon be able to have money for their son as a bride price, find a matchmaker to tell their son that the girl is back, and when their son marries a wife, they will have a few fat grandchildren.Thinking of being able to hold a grandson soon, the smile on Huang Yan's face deepened, and she became more and more hopeful about doing business in her heart.

In fact, Qiao Minglang said that he didn't feel that he earned more than a hundred yuan a day. It was earned by the three of them together. After sharing it, each of them got about [-] yuan.It's still their labor that doesn't count as money, and each of them has paid so many people, so it can't be counted as making too much money.

If they didn't have so many people in their own family, and their own family members could do so much work, if they had to hire people, they would have to lose money in this business.

But for the first time in business, they sold everything and came back, did not lose money, and made money, which is already very good.Qiao Minglang can understand the feelings of his family members. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but after a good start, things will go well later.

"In this way, my old man is the master today, and the money earned will be used as capital first. After the balance is completed at the end of the month, you can calculate how much you have earned, and then divide it among your families." The old man was silent for a while, and then said : "We made a good start today, and the next day will be better, so we don't have to worry about this day."

"I was just about to say." Uncle Qiao agreed with the old man's statement, so he had no objections. In short, the money he earned couldn't run away here, so he asked everyone, "Are you all okay?"

"No problem, no problem." Qiao Chunfu naturally had no problem.

Qiao Minglang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Grandpa, uncle, uncle, my family has no money to buy vegetables, I want to pay ten yuan in advance, and the rest will be calculated at the end of the month, do you think so?"

"How, do you have any objections?" Knowing the situation of his grandson's family, the old man naturally had no objections, and asked the other two sons for their opinions.Uncle Qiao and Qiao Chunfu both said yes, and asked his nephew if ten yuan would be less, and he wanted to give ten yuan more.

"Just ten yuan will be fine." Qiao Minglang pursed his lips and said.

He didn't ask for the whole money, but took a few pieces of one yuan and a few pieces of fifty cents, and put the money in his pocket. After he had money in his pocket, he felt more at ease.Otherwise, the two pockets would be empty and there would be no money. Even the money for grocery shopping today was borrowed from the uncle. He couldn't borrow money from others every day.

Fortunately, they made money when they went out to do business on the first day today, and they will have the money to buy vegetables this month.

However, their family also borrowed a lot of money from a few uncles. After earning money, they have to pay back the borrowed money. Qiao Minglang still remembered the borrowing of other people's money. Just didn't sleep well one day.

Everyone is keeping the accounts well, and the money earned is placed with the uncle. After the general ledger is calculated at the end of the month, everyone will divide the money. No one has any objection to this.

The old man said that he would not take the money, and let them handle this matter themselves, and the money will be kept by the uncle for the time being.

After dealing with the accounts, they still have to talk about how much tofu and fish balls to make tomorrow.It was a market day for them today, and the things in the town are so easy to sell. Tomorrow is not a market day, and there are not so many people in the town. Uncle Qiao was worried that they would not be able to sell if they made too much, so he said to do it. a little less.

After learning about everyone's stall today, and that their items are basically sold out, Qiao Minglang suggested, "We still make so many these days, if it sells well later, we will make more."

There is no reason why things can be sold out now, they come back so early today, and if they reduce things tomorrow, they will make less money.

"I think what Minglang said is right." Uncle Qiao felt that what his nephew said made sense.

"Then do as you say, brother." Qiao Chunfu didn't have any objection to this, and he thought it would work if his brother thought it was right.

So after everyone discussed it, it was decided that we would still do so many things tomorrow, and we would decide whether to do more or less according to the situation later.Of course, the better the business is, the more things are sold and the better.

If the business gets worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer things to sell, then they don't need to do this business, they have to find another way out.

Today, on the first day of business, they sold out everything. This still gave the family a lot of confidence in doing business, and felt that doing business could make money.
