The mother and daughter poured out all the change in their money bags, sorted them one by one, and counted them two or three times. Chen Meiyun's eyes lit up, "There are fourteen and four dollars here! My dear, this small business is too big."

Make money!"

Lin Liqing was confident and said with a smile: "Mom, you haven't calculated the capital yet! Two pounds of bananas and one pound of banana chips cost 30 cents, sugar is 10 cents, firewood is 5 cents, and the cost is only 45 cents. What's the cost?

Not counting my hard work! But just deducting the money for bananas and sugar, the profit is about 7.2 yuan, and I am already very satisfied."

This is the first time in her life that she has made money on her own, which is of great significance.

Chen Meiyun smiled from ear to ear, "Yes, yes, your eldest brother kills pigs for about fifty yuan a month, your second brother also earns more than fifty, and your sister-in-law sells pork at a stall and makes a profit of more than two yuan a day, which is not as good as yours."

this!"

After saying this, Chen Meiyun quickly reminded: "If your elder brother asks you how much money you make, don't just say everything stupidly!"

Lin Liqing was a little dumbfounded, "Mom, I'm not stupid! But my eldest brother and the others are really good to me. If they want to do this, I can sell it wholesale to them, just like my little brother."

"That's fine!"

Chen Meiyun was really happy. Regardless of Lin Liqing's dissuasion, she killed a rooster to celebrate with the whole family that night, and asked Lin Guoan and Yu Xiaoping to bring the children over to eat together.

Looking at Chen Meiyun's attitude, the second roommate knew that Lin Liqing had made money, and he was also very happy.

After the meal, Lin Liqing gave Yu Xiaoping four and a half yuan.

Yu Xiaoping's face changed drastically, "What are you doing?"

As she said this, she pushed the money away.

Lin Liqing explained: "Second sister-in-law, this is the money I paid for buying those bananas of yours. My brother has settled the accounts and it is your turn."

This time Yu Xiaoping sent her thirty kilograms of bananas. How could she get it for nothing?

Yu Xiaoping looked back at Lin Guoan.

Lin Guoan paused and asked Lin Liqing: "Did you make money? Won't you lose money?"

"No!" Lin Liqing said firmly, picking up the money again and stuffing it into Yu Xiaoping's arms, "Second sister-in-law, keep it quickly, or I will be embarrassed to ask you for bananas in the future.

Besides, if my business does well, I will definitely have to buy bananas from you in the future, how can you not charge me every time?"

"That's impossible!" Yu Xiaoping accepted it with a smile, her eyes bright, "Sister-in-law, I still have seventy or eighty kilograms of bananas over there that can be harvested in two days. How many can you ask for?"

Lin Liqing hurriedly said: "Give it all to me. My second sister-in-law will also help me keep an eye on which banana store in the village sells it. You can take it back for 134 cents, and I will charge you 150 cents."

"That's great! I'll go ask tomorrow!" Yu Xiaoping's eyebrows curled up with joy. Who would complain about the lack of money? No matter how skinny a mosquito's legs are, they still have meat.

Lin Guoan saw that the two women were chatting happily, so he thought: "In this way, I will buy some for my little sister and take it to the factory for everyone to try. Maybe I can also attract some business for my little sister."

"Then I will wholesale it to the second brother. I will sell it for 80 cents per pound outside, and wholesale it to the second brother for 70 cents. The second brother will sell it for 80 cents, and I will make a profit of 10 cents for you. How about that?" Lin Liqing said happily.

Lin Guoan smiled helplessly, but still nodded cooperatively. He didn't want to make this money at all, he just wanted to help his little sister as much as possible.

After the family finished eating, Lin Guoan and Yu Xiaoping also took their children back.

After they left, Lin Guoye arrived home.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Mom, where is my sister?"

Chen Meiyun pointed to the small backyard, "I'm busy! How are you? Your sister generously gave you a pound of banana chips today. Have you gotten any business for her?"

"I was just about to talk to her about this!" Lin Guoye was a little anxious and rushed to the small backyard without bothering to chat with Chen Meiyun.

"Sister, give me ten pounds of banana slices tomorrow!" Lin Guoye arrived before anyone else.

Chen Meiyun who followed over immediately became happy, "Yo! You can do it! Are you really selling it?"

"No! Mom, sister, let me tell you, today I generously gave some to the whole class and even the two classes next door. Everyone said it was delicious. Several people came to me during the lunch break.

I bought it. Some families who were well off bought a pound at once, saying they were going back to feed their nephews and nieces.

But most of them are bought for half a catty or two or three cents, and I keep the money in my account anyway!"

Lin Guoye dug out his small ledger, making Lin Liqing giggle.

"Okay! I'll give you ten kilograms tomorrow." As she said this, Lin Liqing worked harder and harder. With the extra ten kilograms, she would have to go to bed two hours later tonight.

Lin Guoye was also happy and gave 7.7 yuan to Lin Liqing. The remaining 1 yuan was the difference in price he earned. In one day's work, he earned one yuan. If he did this every day, he would be able to save about 20 yuan in a month.

.

Lin Guoye felt more and more excited and even ate one more bowl of dinner than before.

This provoked Chen Meiyun to keep talking about the fact that a half-grown man was living in poverty. It was only because of the easy life in the past two years that he could do this. Before, he would never have even thought about it!

At dawn the next day, Lin Liqing left ten kilograms of banana slices and rode a tricycle out. People in the village would still ask curious questions. She only said that she was going to the city to find her elder brother and sister-in-law. She didn't say a word besides, and everyone made up their own minds.

She went to sell pork with Xu Hui and didn't ask any more questions.

Like yesterday, Lin Liqing went to the school gate to set up a stall first.

It was only half past six, and there were almost no students in front of the school. However, many nearby residents who were passing by to buy food came to her place to see what was fresh. She also gave people a piece of food for free, but some people paid for it, and they were richer than the students.

, they all cost 50 cents or 80 cents.

She has not been idle since she came here.

The stall selling tofu pudding next door is also doing a good business. Someone asked the tofu pudding owner Lin Liqing about her banana slices. The couple praised them vigorously, so people who had eaten tofu pudding also came to buy some to enjoy freshly.

Lin Liqing saw this and was naturally very grateful to them. When the school gate closed, their stall became a little deserted.

Lin Liqing left a bag of banana chips for them. During the chat, she learned that the two couples were nearby residents. The man's name was He Rongguang and his wife's name was Ye Lan. Both of them were warm-hearted.

When she left the school gate, Lin Liqing still had many feelings. People in this era were relatively simple and not as social as they would be twenty or thirty years later.

Because business was good yesterday, Lin Liqing specially prepared ten kilograms more banana slices. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when they were all sold out, and it was almost five o'clock when she returned to Jiaonan Village.

The days are short in winter, and it’s almost dark at five o’clock.

When Chen Meiyun saw her, she asked: "All sold out?"

Lin Liqing nodded.

"Three hours later than yesterday." Chen Meiyun said.

Lin Liqing parked the car in the parking shed and explained: "I got ten more kilograms, which is not bad. From now on, I will sell it at thirty kilograms a day. I plan to go to other schools so that more people will know about it."
