229 Partnership Selling Firewood

Seeing that the Song family's business was doing so well, and hearing that bean sprouts were sold for five cents a pound, Wang Laoshuan was completely convinced by the Song family.

When facing the Song family, I couldn't help but lower my head.

On the way back, Wang Laoshuan couldn't help but sigh with his son.

I feel that the Song family is really different from the past and has become more prosperous.

Wang Dashan just listened and did not respond.

"It's not that hot now. I'm going to leave the city later and go to the mountains outside the city to see if I can pick up some dry firewood. We are also short of firewood at home now."

Fortunately, the kitchen built in the Liu family's yard was large enough, and there was a straw shed next to it where they could put firewood.

Next, they don't have to worry about the problem of stacking firewood.

"I'll go with you!" Wang Laoshuan said immediately.

Now that everything has settled down, it's time to work hard to make money with my son.

Food is so expensive, so they have to hurry up and make more money.

"Forget it. If one more person leaves the city, the entrance fee will be increased."

"You clean up your home and go to the neighborhood to familiarize yourself with the situation."

"We will leave the city together tomorrow morning. When we leave the city, you will come back in the evening." Wang Dashan said.

As for him, he probably has to go in and out of the city several times. After all, he has to sell firewood.

Wang Laoshuan thought for a moment and nodded.

"All right."

After returning home, Wang Dashan pushed the cart out the door.

After leaving the city, we followed the official road to the nearest mountain forest.

Then without saying anything, he started to get busy.

There is not as much firewood in the mountains and forests here as there is in the mountains behind the village.

But due to the drought, there are many dead trees in the mountains.

It didn't take much effort for him to collect firewood.

Wang Dashan worked alone, and finally got a cart full of firewood before dark.

Then he rushed back to the city before the city gate was closed.

Because it was too late, Wang Dashan did not go to sell firewood, but directly pushed the firewood back to Liu's house.

When the Liu family saw this, they all praised Wang Dashan for his ability.

After only going out for a while, I got back so much firewood.

Aunt Liu asked Wang Dashan about the selling price of firewood.

When I learned that firewood was now sold for two bundles for five cents, my heart suddenly moved.

The cart of firewood in Dashan probably contained eight bundles of firewood. Two bundles sold for five cents, and eight bundles equaled twenty cents.

If I could sell them all, I would make a lot of money.

"At noon and night, thank you for lending me firewood, auntie."

"This bundle of firewood is what we pay back to you. I'll take it to the kitchen for you!" Wang Dashan said, taking down a bundle of firewood from the cart.

Then, he walked towards the Liu family's kitchen.

Aunt Liu said that he was too polite and asked him to slow down with a smile.

Entering the Liu family's kitchen, Wang Dashan directly put the firewood behind the stove.

Then he was ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Aunt Liu.

"Da Shan, I heard my daughter say, and your sister said, your firewood business is doing well now?"

Wang Dashan was stunned.

"Auntie, you're joking. What kind of business do I have?" he replied.

"Hey, why don't you forget it?"

"I heard that over there in Yong'an Lane, there are no less than ten families who order firewood from you. Besides, every time you bring firewood to the town to sell it, it sells very fast!"

"Is this the case?" Aunt Liu looked at Wang Dashan with a smile.

Wang Dashan scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's because my father and I don't have much firewood, so we sell it quickly." He replied.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's eyes lit up.

"Does this mean that if there is a lot of firewood, it can be sold?" he asked immediately.

Wang Dashan thought for a while, "It should be possible. After all, there are many families in the town who are short of firewood."

Aunt Liu's eyes instantly brightened.

His eyes moved, and then he actually grabbed Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan was almost frightened.

Aunt Liu then let go of Wang Dashan and smiled at him sheepishly.

"Don't get me wrong, Auntie has no other intentions."

"I just want to ask you, can you let your uncle and Erniu brothers collect firewood and sell it with you?" Aunt Liu finally expressed her thoughts.

Thanks to the thousand kilograms of grain they bought from the Song family, their family is now less stressed about food rations.

But after buying food, the family had less money.

Next, we have to prepare for winter. If we don’t seize the time, how can we make more money?

The eldest son has already gone to work at the dock. Although it is hard work, he is making money every day.

But the younger son has been looking for work for many days, but he has found nothing.

As for the old man in her family, he is already old and can't even find a job.

It would be a good idea to let the younger son and the old man follow the Wang family and his son to collect firewood and sell it.

Wang Dashan was silent, thought for a while, and didn't reply.

Aunt Liu quickly accompanied her with a smile.

"Just think that they are working for you. In terms of wages, if you make money, just give them some of it!" he said.

It's normal for this child to hesitate.

After all, collecting and selling firewood is something that almost everyone can do.

After leading a disciple, the disciple may have to compete with the master for business. At that time, the master's business may be affected.

Wang Dashan quickly looked at Aunt Liu with a smile.

"Auntie is joking. If uncle and brother Erniu really want to do something with me, I can't treat them badly," he said.

Given his current situation, he really doesn't have to worry about selling the firewood.

If two more people can help and collect more firewood a day, we can naturally make more money.

Next, he lived with his father at Liu's house.

Now, Aunt Liu comes to talk to me about this matter. He wants to refuse her. If the two families get along in the future, there will be a gap.

Wang Dashan thought for a while.

"Let's see. The current price of firewood in the town is five cents per bundle."

"If uncle and brother Erniu are willing, they can sell it to me at half price."

"Just help me deliver the firewood to the official road, and I will take care of the rest."

In this way, he could only concentrate on delivering and selling firewood to the city.

With his father and the Liu family helping him collect firewood, the amount of firewood he can sell every day will increase a lot.

Aunt Liu pondered slightly.

Wang Dashan's idea is similar to the previous cooperation between the Song family's daughter-in-law and their family.

Their family focuses on delivering goods, and then the other party sells the goods after they get them.

"Just send it to the official road, not into the city?" Aunt Liu asked.

Today's city entry fees are quite high.

If you really want to load a cart full of firewood and make a trip into the city, you have to pay six coins.

If a cart carries eight bundles of firewood, it only costs 40 cents for one trip.

After deducting the six cents entry fee, there are still thirty-six cents left.

After deducting the wages of her old man and second son, there is only sixteen cash left...

Although sixteen coins were a lot, he had to go in and out of the city, and he had to walk through the streets to sell firewood.

If things go wrong, selling the firewood may cost more than collecting firewood.

Thinking of this, Aunt Liu has basically concluded that she can do this job.
