The newly established Luzhou brigade is gradually getting on the right track. Zhang Qiang's job is still the same as in S County, often traveling for duty, while Wang Ying is assigned to logistics, responsible for collecting water bills, electricity bills, rent and other tasks.

Wang Ying's salary is low and has increased year after year, but prices have also increased at the same time. It is really not enough to support a family of six with just a few dozen yuan.

Wang Ying also discussed with her mother-in-law whether to start up the mahua business again, but she gave up the idea after going to the city to do some research. Firstly, people are now more open-minded, and there are so many people making snacks outside.

, Secondly, people's living conditions have improved, and Mahua is not a rare thing at all. Thirdly, there is a manpower problem. Wang Ying has to go to work, and Sun Xiufang cannot be busy alone.

Although Cui Yunxiang and Wang Ying's family are not assigned to the same row, it does not prevent the two families from traveling frequently. I often make delicious food and send a bowl to your family. If you find something good, don't forget to send me a portion.

When Wang Ying was resting, Cui Yunxiang came to Wang Ying to chat with her needlework.

There is a lifestyle train that starts from Shijiazhuang and ends in Handan. What is the lifestyle cart? It is a mobile store. However, this store runs on a train line. This train will stop in Luzhou every Sunday. Because

Things are both comprehensive and cheap. On this day, if the necessities at home are not enough, Wang Ying and Cui Yunxiang will meet to go shopping together.

I don’t know when knitting became popular in the team. Family members who didn’t have to work would get together and chat with each other when they had nothing to do. When Wang Ying came home from get off work, whenever he met them on the way, he would chat enthusiastically and praise them.

As time went by, her hands started to itch, and she wanted to learn to knit a sweater for Shi Nian.

Cui Yunxiang is now considered an expert in knitting sweaters. Not only has she knitted a sweater and trousers for her whole family, but she is also planning to knit a coat for herself.

The wool at this time was all in strands, and they needed to be wound into a ball of thread first. Wang Ying basically did this job for her. The two of them sat across from each other, one was responsible for holding the thread, and the other was responsible for winding the ball.

Wang Ying circled the ball of thread in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this color is so beautiful. It will definitely make you look whiter when you wear it. I want to knit a sweater for Nian Nian. The car will come again tomorrow. Let's

Are you going to buy a pound of wool? When you get the thread back, you can teach me how to weave."

"Okay." Cui Yunxiang rotated her arms following Wang Ying's force, "The doubanjiang at home is almost gone, and I want to buy some doubanjiang. Zhang Qiang and the other two like to eat pickled vegetables."

"They also like to eat cocoa. I don't have much at home, so I will buy some tomorrow." Wang Ying thought for a while, "Let's ask who else wants more. Why don't we go get a bucket and come back to share it?

Come on, you can save a lot of money."

"Yes, I'll ask later." Cui Yunxiang said with a smile: "You still know how to pass it. If you want me, you just know how many kilograms to buy and eat, and then go buy it after you finish eating."

"Can you do it if you don't know how to make it? You can make a lot of money. Look, if you buy a kilogram for free, it costs us one yuan and two. The wholesale price is one yuan a kilogram, and a bucket of twenty kilograms. You can save four yuan. Let's join forces.

Isn’t it very easy for four or five families to share four or five kilograms of it?”

Cui Yunxiang: "Listen to you, I'm not as good as you in saving money."

Wang Ying put the wrapped thread ball into the basket at Cui Yunxiang's feet, and the two of them unfolded another strand of thread to hold it up and continued working.

The two were chatting and laughing, and before they knew it, the two kilograms of thread were wrapped. Cui Yunxiang took out a pair of bamboo needles and started to start. Wang Ying was interested in learning, so she pulled the bench and sat next to Cui Yunxiang to see how she used the needles.

"This is easy. Just go around this way and then come back here..." Cui Yunxiang flexibly picked up the needle and thread in her hand and showed Wang Ying step by step.

"Yes." Wang Ying studied very seriously. She thought she was not stupid. She took Cui Yunxiang's needlework and practiced it for a while, and she felt confident, "Okay, I know it. I will buy wool tomorrow."

.”

Cui Yunxiang's family had already bought a bicycle. The next day, she took Wang Ying to the train station.

The lifestyle bus arrived at ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, the bus had already arrived. There were many people coming to buy things. From a distance, you could see people on and off the bus. This is similar to going to a market, but the difference is that you can only come here to buy things.

Commodities cannot be sold here, and prices cannot be negotiated.

The two of them went to buy wool first. Wang Ying specially picked his favorite sky blue. If knitted in this color, his son would definitely look good on it.

Cui Yunxiang had already contacted several companies who wanted Doubanjiang, and the two of them went to batch a bucket of Doubanjiang and brought it out. Spending money can also make people addicted. When passing by the snack area, Wang Ying was cruel and weighed the children.

Two pounds of broad beans, two pounds of animal crackers.

Cui Yunxiang is much more generous with her money. She will buy whatever brothers Zhang Qiang and Zhang Jun like to eat.

It is said that a young man must live in poverty, and brothers Zhang Jun and Zhang Bing are at the age where they need to make a living. According to Cui Yunxiang himself, feeding these two brothers is like feeding pigs, and they can eat no matter how much they cook.

On the way back, Cui Yunxiang did not ride a bicycle because she had bought a lot of things. The two sisters pushed the bicycle back.

Wang Ying also wants to buy things generously, but her money is tight and she cannot spend it carelessly.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of business would you like to do now? I want to take advantage of my free time to start a small business to earn some money. In the future, the children will get older and there will be more places to spend money. I am just pointing out the salary of these two cents.

But it doesn’t work.”

Cui Yunxiang thought about it and said, "I think, they say eating, drinking and having fun, eating comes first. I think it would be feasible to think of ways to specify food."

"Eat?" Wang Ying pursed her lips, "You mean making snacks? I don't have the time."

Cui Yunxiang smiled: "There is a lot of food-related business? From vegetables and fruits to hotels and restaurants, they are all related to food, not just snacks."

Wang Ying's eyes lit up, "I don't dare to hope for the big one, but I can still think about the small one. I think I can still do it selling vegetables. I set up a stall in our yard every day after get off work, but I don't know where the vegetables, melons and fruits go." Restock."

Speaking of food, Cui Yunxiang remembered something, "Lao Zhang mentioned it to me when he came home a few days ago. He said that the food they order at the station is very cheap, and the vegetables grown in the fields cannot be eaten by ordinary people, nor can they be sold.

The price is good. Kidney beans here are 4 cents per catty, and kidney beans over there are 10 cents per catty. If you really want to sell vegetables, when Lao Zhang comes home, I will ask him to collect some vegetables for you and you can sell them.

Let’s try selling it, even if it can’t be sold for a while, it won’t stop us from eating it ourselves.”

"Kidney beans over there only cost a dime a pound. It's too cheap!" Wang Ying was tempted by such a large profit margin. Before the vegetables arrived, Wang Ying began to calculate how much money she could earn. She earned three dollars per pound.

Mao, I earn three yuan for ten kilograms. If I can sell ten kilograms of it a day, wouldn't it be much higher than my salary in a month? The more she calculated, the more Wang Ying felt that this business was feasible. She said to Cui Yunxiang with full confidence: "Sister-in-law, I want

Before Brother Zhang comes back, tell him to collect dozens of kilograms of vegetables for me, and I will try to sell them."

"Okay, these are all small things." Cui Yunxiang agreed happily, and was even happy that she could help Wang Ying. When Zhang Qiang came home from his shift, she assigned the task, "Old Zhang, I remember what you said last time

, the food at the place where you are stationed this time is particularly cheap."

"That's right." Zhang Qiang raised the basket in his hand, "Look, I brought this back from over there. It's so cheap."

"Let me take a look." Cui Yunxiang looked through the vegetables inside, including round and large purple eggplants, juicy tomatoes, cucumbers with thorns on the top, and slender kidney beans. "Oh, old man.

"Zhang, this dish is really good." Cui Yunxiang took out a cucumber and took one bite without even washing it. "Wang Ying wants to start a small business. I told Wang Ying that your dish is cheap, so I'll give it to her."

Come up with an idea and let her sell vegetables. When you come back next time, think about helping her collect dozens of kilograms of vegetables and let her try selling them."

"Okay." Zhang Qiang squatted by the basin and finished washing his hands, then stood up and shook the water drops on his hands, "I was just thinking, Wang Ying's family has no other way to make money. Selling vegetables is not bad, as long as she wants to

Just do it, I will collect it for her, so that I can come back every two or three days and bring enough vegetables for her to sell for two or three days."

Cui Yunxiang: "Then I'll leave this job to you."

Zhang Qiang said with guarantee: "I'll do the work, don't worry."

When Zhang Qiang was stationed again, he took the time to visit nearby farmers and selected a few whose vegetables grew well. He ordered several dozen kilograms of vegetables and agreed to pick them the day after tomorrow when he left.

Wang Ying has not been idle these two days. She went to the city to understand the market conditions first. This understanding did not matter, it made her more confident. The prices of vegetables in Luzhou City are indeed much more expensive than in the station.

.

When Zhang Qiang returned home, the first thing he did was to deliver the vegetables he had collected for Wang Ying to her. The first batch of vegetables that she was looking forward to finally arrived. After Wang Ying handed over the money to Zhang Qiang, she couldn't wait to set up her stall.

Got up.

The vegetable stall was placed at the gate of the family's courtyard. The pole was temporarily borrowed from the neighbor Jiang Lianxi's family. Wang Ying sat on the horse with a plastic sheet spread in front of her. Fresh vegetables were placed on the plastic sheet.

It was time to get off work, and Wang Ying's demeanor could tell at a glance that this stall was newly opened. Colleagues passed by here when they went home and came to take a look.

Wang Ying's job is to deal with every household. Every month she comes to check the water meter and electricity meter, and then collects the fees and returns them to the team, so everyone is familiar with her.

Colleagues joked with Wang Ying, "Hey, Wang Ying, has she changed her career to selling vegetables?"

"Yes, I want everyone to support me more." Wang Ying was not afraid at all and smiled generously.

"No problem, as long as your food is cheap, it doesn't matter who you buy it from."
