Chapter 198 Being Smashed by a Pie
Boss Li came out of the processing room and saw Li Changle who was looking at jewelry with a small bag. He smiled and stepped forward, "Young man, I'm right, oyster beads are difficult to shape and it's not easy to get a set of oyster beads."
Jewelry!”
Li Changle smiled, took off the army green cloth bag and put it on the counter. He opened the bag cover and opened a slit to give him a look at the beads inside.
Boss Li took a look and saw that there were dozens of them, far more than the few he saw last time. His eyes widened in surprise.
Li Changle put away his bag and said softly: "Boss Li, there are many people coming and going in your store. For safety's sake, we'd better go inside to look at the goods. I'm afraid we'll be robbed later."
"Follow me!"
After all, it was the owner of the Daikin Store who was used to big scenes, but after a moment he calmly opened the cabinet door and took Li Changle to the reception room.
She politely poured him a cup of tea, took two plates from the low cabinet, placed them on the velvet-covered table, and motioned for him to pour the beads into them.
The pearls under the light are sparkling and dazzling, as soft as the moonlight of the full moon, making people unable to take their eyes away.
There were thirty-five beads in total. Zhou Ruonan picked three pea-sized white beads and kept them. This time he brought a total of thirty-two beads.
There is also a pack of unshaped ones, which he plans to send to the drug store to ask for the price, and if possible, sell them as well.
Boss Li calmed down his surprised expression, looked at the beads on the plate one by one, took a small handful, picked out a few beads and weighed them, confirming again that they were all natural oyster beads.
The beads sent this time are as big as five-cent coins.
Especially those golden beads and two black ones, they were so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away. He had to have someone design them carefully.
He picked up a caliper, classified and measured the beads of several colors, and placed them according to size.
Li Changle saw Boss Li divide the thirty-two beads into three parts.
Three golden beads and three white beads are one share, nine white beads are one share, three black beads are one share for another four gold beads, two pink beads and the remaining white beads are one share.
Ten minutes later, Boss Li looked up at Li Changle, pointed at three golden and three white beads and said:
"I will give you a purchase price of two hundred and sixty for these six beads, two hundred for these fifteen, and the remaining eighty-one."
Li Changle thought for a moment, took the three black beads, put them in a pile with the two hundred and six beads, looked up at Boss Li and said:
"Boss Li, these nine are all at 280 each, and the others are at the price you said. If you think it's okay, we'll make a deal."
After Boss Li pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Deal."
Nine of the two-hundred eights totaled two thousand five hundred and two, twelve two-hundreds totaled two thousand four, and eleven eighty-eights totaled eight hundred and eighty, totaling five thousand eight hundred yuan.
After the accounts were calculated, Boss Li stood up and went to the door and shouted outside. A young boy came over and gave instructions in a low voice. After a while, the young boy came to the reception room with his bag.
Boss Li took the bag, took out the money and put it on the table, pushing it in front of Li Changle, "Xiao Li, please order some."
"good!"
Li Changle counted the scattered piles of banknotes, and then began to count the bundles of brand-new ten-yuan bills. After counting, he said to Boss Li, "That's right."
Boss Li watched him pack the money and said, "Xiao Li, I would like to ask, can you still collect oyster beads like this?"
"It's very difficult. The oysters that produced these beads were found in an extremely hidden place. It should be difficult to find them elsewhere."
"If you find other good products in the future, just send them over."
"Okay!" Li Changle shouldered the bag and suddenly thought of those shapeless beads, "Boss Li, I still have a pack of shapeless beads here. I want to find a drugstore to sell them. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Turn right when you go out and walk about a hundred meters. There is a good Minsheng Pharmacy. I will call you later and you can go find them."
"Thank you!" Li Changle said goodbye. Boss Li walked him to the door before turning back.
Li Changle walked out of the gold shop with his bag on his back. After walking for about a hundred meters, he saw Minsheng Pharmacy. As soon as he walked in, he knew he was here to sell oyster beads.
After looking at the goods, I took away the oyster beads at a price of ten yuan and one tael.
Li Changle put the 130 yuan he earned from selling beads in his trouser pocket. With a huge sum of money in his pocket, he didn't plan to wander around and buy anything fancy. He went out and called a rickshaw, got in and told the rickshaw driver his address, and went straight to the old street.
After sitting for a while, he took out a cigarette and lit it, holding the cigarette in his mouth while lazily leaning against the back seat of the rickshaw.
Looking at the dusty buildings on both sides of the street and the pedestrians passing by, I thought about what I had done in less than a month since I returned, and I still felt like I was dreaming.
I pressed the banknotes in my bag and thought that after I went home and divided the money from selling beads, I would have more than two thousand yuan in my hand. Taking advantage of the fact that the price of ships was not high, I went to the shipyard to inquire about the cost of ordering a tin ship.
How much?
If the difference is close, just order the boat first, and when the boat is built, the money saved should be enough.
Thinking about what happened on a boat in my previous life, I think an iron boat is better. Even if there are slightly bigger waves, I don’t have to worry about being knocked apart by the wind and waves, and I can go fishing in farther seas.
The fish caught can be used to dry more dry goods and send them to Lucheng...
Thinking of this, he thought of his mother-in-law's salary again, and still felt that the salary for January 28 was really too little.
Besides, the mother-in-law was willing to endure hardships with her for their sake. If they were the only ones who were okay, he would definitely support her as his own mother.
But there are still three partners. Brother, sister-in-law and Awei must feel grateful now. If time goes by, they will take these gifts for granted...
Li Changle thought about it and decided to go back and talk to Anan about his thoughts and ask her to persuade his mother-in-law that after the goods are fully stocked, it would be better to sell as much as she said before.
"Little young man, the old street is here!"
The rickshaw driver interrupted his thoughts. Li Changle got off the car and paid. He saw two children and a fat kid sitting on the ground grabbing food. The container placed at the door was pushed back into the store for some reason.
"Abba!" Li Xiaohai shouted happily, "Abao's mother-in-law bought all the dried fish in our house."
Li Changle was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, "Does A Bao have a lot of family members?"
After saying that, I felt that I had asked a stupid question. Even if there were more people, they would not be able to eat hundreds of kilograms of dry food, unless they set up a factory at home.
"I don't have many family members, but my uncle's family has many." The chubby Yan Abao stood up, opened his arms and made a big circle, and looked at him proudly, "More than the children in our class."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
"Uncle Zhou, my mother-in-law wants a lot more dried fish. Go home and dry the dried fish quickly. Don't take Xiaohai and Xiaozhou away. Let's play together."
"School is about to start. They have to go home to school and come back to play during the holidays."
Li Changle rubbed the heads of several children, went in to look at the sold-out containers, and strode to the backyard, where the scent of puffed balls hit his nostrils.
"You're back!" Zhou Ruonan, who was washing melons in the yard, looked at him with a smile, "Did you sell it? What's the price?"
"The price is good, it sold for more than five thousand in total!" Li Changle said, taking off the bag and handing it to Zhou Ruonan.
Zhou Ruonan and Zhou's mother both looked at the big unity in the bag excitedly, "It's great. After selling so much, if I save some more, I can buy you a tin boat."
"Ask about the price when we get back." Li Changle said, and asked excitedly, "What's going on with the Yan family?"
Zhou Ruonan smiled and said: "Just after you left, Grandma He came to buy some dried shrimps, dried oysters and horse mackerel heads. After going back for a while, she brought Lin Hui over.
Lin Hui said that she also wanted to purchase these things, and asked me to pack them all and weigh them, and also said that the goods would be delivered every two weeks in the future."
"Does his family run a factory or a school?" After Li Changle finished speaking, he remembered that there should be no private schools these days.
"His family doesn't have a factory or a school." Zhou's mother took over, "I didn't ask where Yan Zhenbang works. I only know that his wife works at a normal university, and she does purchasing."
As she spoke, she sighed again, "No wonder the old saying goes, good intentions are rewarded. You saved A Bao last time, and that's why we have today's business. Every drink and every peck has its consequences."
Li Changle didn't know if Yan Abao was saved in his previous life, but now he felt like he had been hit by a pie.
Zhou Ruonan happily gave him a list, "Ale, Lin Hui asked us to prepare three hundred catties of eels, dried cuttlefish, two hundred catties of dried shrimps, and one hundred and fifty catties of green turtle heads."
"The requirements are that the hygiene must be guaranteed, the variety should be richer, and the pickling should not be too salty. Delivery is once every two weeks. Send it directly to her at the normal school, and she will tell you the quantity you want next time."
Li Changle looked at the list, "Where's the price? Have you agreed on the price with her?"
"She gave us the dried fish at the price we sold it for." Zhou Ruonan thought for a moment, "She also said that as long as the unit price does not exceed two yuan and a half a pound, she can send it."
Li Changle was pleasantly surprised after hearing this, "Did she say when she would get the goods she wanted today?"
"The sooner the better!" Zhou Ruonan said, "It seems like I have to go to the pier to collect some when I get home before I can show them in the sun."
Li Changle calculated that three hundred kilograms of eels would require nearly a thousand kilograms of fresh fish, and even more cuttlefish. It would take at least five to six kilograms to harvest one kilogram of dried fish.
"Let's take the two o'clock shuttle bus back and rush to the pier to collect a batch!"
"Business matters!" Zhou's mother said cheerfully, "Chuiyuan has been taken out. You two sit down and eat. I'll call Xiaohai and Xiaozhou to come back."
Li Changle thought about the salary and told Zhou Ruonan what he was thinking on the way.
"Yes, once the business is done, it won't take a year and a half. Your concerns are justified. I will tell my mother-in-law."
"Now that we know how much profit a pound of dried fish can make, let's go back and talk to my brother and the others. Let's discuss how much of a pound of dried fish is appropriate for my grandma?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Ruonan pushed Chui Yuan, "Eat, we have to go to the station later."
"There are still two hours left. Let's eat together when grandma comes."
