Fight the Giants

  Chapter 46 The first one to eat crabs

   Except for Huo Xi who was thinking about something, the whole family happily counted copper coins.

The corners of Yang's mouth curled up: "I only collected fifty pieces of Gema today, and we sold thirty pieces at Taoyedu. One piece sold for an extra ten Wen, so that's three hundred Wen. I also sold some other things. How much do you need? Xi'er, what are the prices of the things you bought today?"

  Huo Xi came back to his senses, took out a small bookkeeping book from his arms, and reconciled with Yang, comparing the cost and selling price.

   Other miscellaneous items also earned thirty or forty renminbi, oil, salt and tung oil, and everyone bought some. But the bulk is still cloth and wine.

  In addition to the three hundred Wen for the cloth, "Wine actually got three hundred and sixty Wen!"

   Be good, you got so much this night!

   "Sister, how can there be so many, these copper coins are less than 300 Wen."

Mrs. Yang glared at Yang Fu: "The fish in the water tank, the shrimp and crabs in the shrimp cage and crab cage are not counted? They can't be sold for money? Wait until Xi'er and I make bald butter and dried shrimps and shrimps." Sell ​​it, not only get the money back, but also get a lot more.”

  Mr. Yang was very happy.

  Huo Erhuai hugged Huo Nian and happily watched her count the silver, with a smile on his face. I didn't expect to get so much on this day.

  Yang's hand counting the silver paused again: "Xi'er, you said that cloth and wine are so profitable, will the big guys go to the countryside to collect and sell them?"

  Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai also looked at Huo Xi together. Haven't tasted the sweetness, the business will fail?

  Huo Xi was also taken aback, thought for a while, then shook his head: "Maybe there is, but it's just a small mess. Their boats can't hold much."

   "That's right, it's not as big as our boat."

  If it is to open a shop and change a big ship, most people cannot make up their minds. Yang looked around her family's big boat, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. This big boat is worth it.

  Huo Xi's family is counting copper coins, and other families in Taoyedu are also talking about the Huo family.

   Mrs. Sun just bought an old boat from the Huo family for Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia. In the past two days, I have seen the two brothers fishing with great interest and hard work. They have also earned a lot of copper coins by selling fish for two days. I am very happy.

  Her family has four laborers and two boats, how can they not beat the Huo family?

   There are five members of the Huo family, two big and three young, and Yang has to take care of the younger one. How much can Huo Erhuai earn as a laborer?

   I never thought, people opened a shop in a blink of an eye. How fresh, Floating Grocery! In all these years, I have never seen anyone do this.

   And watching the excitement tonight, the four jars of wine were sold out at the same time, and they were sold out in no time. And that cloth, she counted there, sold thirty pieces! How much does that have to earn!

   Tossing and turning unable to fall asleep: "Father, how about we also go to the village to collect wine and cloth for sale?"

  Qian Sanduo was going to sleep when he was stabbed by the woman and opened his eyes.

  He also saw the excitement of the Huo family today, so how could he not feel hot in his heart. There is money to be made, can he not want to?

but…

"How much can you collect? How much can we put on the ship? It's okay to collect some for our own food and use, but I'm afraid you can't collect it for sale. If you only collect it for our own use, why bother to go to the countryside to collect it? Time consuming."

   There are already people who eat crabs here.

   It's also that they didn't expect this to make the Huo family ahead. No matter how much they try to imitate now, they probably won't make much money. It didn't have to delay their main business of fishing. Pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelon.

   Sun was annoyed.

   "The Huo family will come up with an idea in a while. What is this brain thinking that they want to open a grocery store on the water." Looking at other people's copper coins rushing into their accounts, it would be a lie to say that they are not jealous.

  Obviously there is a way to make money, but I can't make it myself, and I am scratching my heart.

   "Then make friends with the Huo family. If his family has any good ideas in the future, let us know a little bit. They eat meat, and we can also eat some soup."

   Mrs. Sun pinched the tender meat of his waist and abdomen, and drank the soup, so he couldn't eat meat himself!

  There are many people who think like Sun.

  But after careful analysis, I feel that if I want to do the same business as the Huo family, I don't have the capital.

   One is that the ship is not big enough, and the other is that there is no cost to receive the goods. If you buy a piece of cloth from the Huo family, you have to exchange it for fish and shrimp. How much can you stock up? What if the goods are ready and cannot be sold, and they are smashed?

   After all, there are only a few people who can take risks.

  Before going to sleep, Huo Xi was also thinking about this. What if someone opened a floating grocery store like them?

   What can she do to solve it?

   It seems that we still have to find a way from the source of goods.

  First, we must ensure the supply of goods, and we must always have a stable channel for receiving goods. The second is to control the cost at the source.

  When the cost is lowered, the selling price can be lowered. Even if other people do the same business as me, and others can't compete with me in terms of selling price, I don't have to worry about not being able to sell my products.

  Huo Xi wrote and drew on paper, calculating the capital of the family, how much he could buy, and what to do next.

  Before going to bed, put the purse snatched from Wu Youcai today, together with his personal jade pendant, into the box specially bought today.

  Just about to open the bilge and put it in, after thinking about it, she took out the pouch that Mrs. Yang made for her, picked up five gold beans and five silver beans in it, and put in one hundred taels of silver bills.

  The rest were still in the box, locked up, hidden among the clothes in the bilge.

  Take one hundred taels of silver bills and broken silver with you, so that if you see something good in the city, you won’t have no money to buy it.

  The bilge was put away and the cushions were laid, and then I lay down and slept.

  There are three cabins on the ship, Huo Xi has one for himself, he closes the cabin door at the bow, and draws the curtain that separates the Yang couple, forming a space of his own.

  2 meters wide and 1.5 meters long, enough for her to sleep.

  Huo Xi pressed the purse on his chest, thinking about the scene in the inner city today.

  Mother's dowry will one day be taken back from Mrs. Wu. Let her run the business, and let her spit out her capital and profits in the future!

   These five hundred pairs are not Wu Youcai's, nor Wu's, but mother's. It was her mother who sent flowers for her and Nian'er.

  Huo Xi cried again as she thought about her mother.

   Turned sideways, covered his head with the quilt, recalling frames of the past with his mother, tears fell more and more fiercely. Gritting his teeth, he rubbed and wiped on his eyes, and finally fell asleep slowly.

   In the compartment, Huo Erhuai, who was tired after a day of rocking the boat, snored early. Only Mrs. Yang stared at the pitch-black roof of the boat, heard Huo Xi's suppressed cries, and sighed deeply.

   Their family is poor, they have no power or power, and they can't help the child, so they can only follow her, and let her do whatever the child wants. No matter what she did, she and Huo Erhuai would stand firmly behind her.

  The next day, Yang woke up early and prepared breakfast for the family. When Huo Xi came out, he pulled her over and took a closer look at her.

  Huo Xi was still in a daze, his eyes were a little swollen, he hugged Yang Shi and squinted on her for a while.

   Yang's heart was so soft that it melted into water. This is her little padded jacket.

   "It's still early, why don't you sleep in the cabin?" stroking her hair.

  Huo Xi rubbed against her arms, "No, mother twisted a handkerchief, wiped my face, and then I woke up."

   Upon hearing this, Yang let go of her, quickly scooped up water, wet her handkerchief and gently wiped her face.

  Huo Xi became sober after being agitated by the water, raised her head and smiled at Yang. Yang's heart suddenly let go.
