Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 100 Small Business

The children laughed and encouraged each other, but they were also nervous and excited waiting for Xia Daohua's judgment.

Xia Daohua accepted all these ideas with a smile, and also took this opportunity to expand a few other snacks. For example, from hair cakes and jujube cakes, after a little thought, she expanded into jujube cakes, mung bean cakes, and chestnut cakes.

cake.

However, some improvements were made due to seasonal restrictions.

Xia Daohua herself also came up with a fancy pickle plan.

However, everyone thinks that the cost of pickles is too high. Because pickling pickles first requires a lot of salt, and salt is expensive and difficult to buy. Although Beiguan Town is adjacent to Bohai County, it is relatively convenient to buy salt.

of.

Xia Daohua did not insist, and put the pickle project at the end.

The money-making team was very excited and enthusiastically counted up the income from the bamboo tube rice.

In just over two months, they have earned nearly sixteen taels of silver.

Of course, this is mainly due to Erlang's big orders. You can't make so much just by setting up stalls and retailing.

It’s not that the sales volume is not good, the sales volume of the stalls is actually very good.

However, it would cost them too much to go to the city.

When you enter a town, you have to pay an entry fee; when you bring goods, you have to pay taxes on the goods; when you set up a stall, you have to pay a stall fee; when you close a stall, you have to pay a street cleaning fee...

If you catch up with the patrolling officer and take a fancy to the items in your stall, you must be filial, otherwise they may take away your entire stall;

If you catch up with that powerful kid, galloping, laughing and joking, knocking over your stall, or even injuring you or your customers, the few coppers you earn from setting up the stall will not be enough to pay for the soup and medicine!

Fortunately, the children choose the location carefully every time.

After several observations, we deliberately selected the corners where horses and carriages would not easily collide.

This kind of boundary is not a very good location for a small stall doing food business.

So no one wanted to compete with them.

It was not until later, when several incidents of dandy riding horses occurred, that the benefits of their stall became apparent.

However, because Xia Daohua and the others had always stayed in that nook and cranny position almost every time before, they were almost familiar with the patrolling officers.

No one among these small vendors dared to bully them because they were children. Occasionally, the adult who followed was a cripple (Erlang) on ​​crutches, so he would grab that spot.

Xia Daohua and the others continued to set up stalls at fairs, selling fancy bamboo tube rice, and at the same time they also added new products one after another - of course they couldn't release all the new products at once.

Instead, either add some new varieties and colors during festival days; or release some fresh food when followers appear on a large scale.

As they continued to accumulate, Xia Daohua discovered that the profits from their small business were pretty good.

Ignoring labor and only counting materials and expenses, on average, the cost of basically one tael can earn back almost 5 taels of income.

In addition to some special festival days, there are collections in the early, middle and late thirties of every month.

Even if they set up stalls at every market, including early preparation and post-cleaning, it won't take up much time.

However, although the money-making team was full of interest and enthusiasm, Xia Daohua felt that the business of setting up a stall, making money penny by penny, was a bit too slow.

The income that everyone should share is currently in the hands of Xia Daohua.

Because it was best hidden in her hands, and no one in the family could find it. There was no need to worry about the money being discovered by the parents, and if it was taken away without saying a word, they might even get a beating for hiding it.

In fact, children worry too much about this.

Since the family knows that every time they go to the market, they set up stalls happily and come back happily, how can they still not know that they are making money?

It's just that the adults underestimated these small businesses, thinking that no matter how hard the children worked, they couldn't make any big splash, so they deliberately didn't ask about their income.

Each person's income should be divided into specific amounts. They also kept a ledger, and the person who wrote it was Wu Lang.

Because all correspondence between Xia Daohua and Li Gan was done in paintings, Li Gan’s letters had to be read by Mr. Xia himself, and Mr. Xia had already begun to enlighten Wu Lang.

Of course, if any of the boys in other houses want to learn how to read, they can learn from Mr. Xia.

Although Mr. Xia has never studied for more than a few years, he has a solid foundation and can write well.

As for skills such as literacy, letter writing, and accounting, I am also very proficient.

The fact that Mr. Xia's family was able to purchase so much land and raise so many children was also related to Mr. Xia's ability to write and calculate.

It's a pity that Mr. Xia may have learned the lesson of Dafang. Although he is willing to educate his children, he is unwilling (of course, he may be really incapable) to send any more grandchildren to school.

When Saburo and Shiro heard that they had to continue working, they lost interest in literacy.

On the other hand, Erlang, Wulang and Liulang were all in high spirits.

But Rokuro was young after all, so he felt bored after recognizing a few words, so he quickly ran out to play.

Only an adult Erlang, a still-aged Wulang, and the "shameless" Xia Daohua were left. They insisted on listening to Mr. Xia's lecture every five days, teaching them literacy, writing, and abacus.

Mr. Xia was reluctant to teach Daohua at first. He felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate for a young lady to study the books of sages.

Xia Daohua, however, said in a sly manner:

"Sir, I'm not going to take the No. 1 exam, but I can't be blind, right?

It would be fine if we didn’t have a ready-made husband like you in our family. Since you are here, let me get the first chance to get the best chance of getting close to you!

Anyway, I won’t show off to outsiders!

If no one else knows about it, what's wrong with it?"

Mr. Xia didn't know whether he was frightened by her pestering, or was moved by her "Sir". In short, he actually agreed with Xia Daohua's theory that "one sheep can be driven, two sheep can be herded" and decided to accept it.

She is a non-staff student.

Xia Daohua happily brought Mr. Xia "Shu Xiu" - two pheasants that she personally "hunted" from the mountains.

Mr. Xia's literacy class has been going on for some time, and Xia Daohua has not been absent even once.

Although Mr. Xia was somewhat helpless towards her "deviant" enthusiasm, he secretly praised Zhou for Xia Daohua's tenacity.

Xia Daohua didn't know Mr. Xia's evaluation and didn't care much.

Her literacy with Mr. Xia is just a pretense. In fact, Da Chu's writing is no different from ancient traditional Chinese characters. Although Xia Daohua is not skilled in writing, she can recognize it without any pressure.

Her thoughts were mostly spent on the small business of the money-making team.

After thinking about it for a few days, Xia Daohua decided to put the pickles out.

But this matter was not convenient for her to run by herself.

Hehe, it’s one hundred chapters! Spread the flowers! There is expected to be one more chapter, but the next chapter will be very late, everyone will read it tomorrow, don’t stay up late. I love you, (づ￣ 3￣)づ!
