Chapter 9 Buying Grain

Chapter 9 Buying Grain

Next comes the much-anticipated moment of sharing the small sums of money.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Meng Qing took out a money bag.

What is inside is the result of everyone’s hard work today.

That 375 cents.

Dahua and others who participated in the meal delivery also took out the wooden board with the signature on it.

Sister Xiaoqing said that they depended on this thing to make settlements, so they couldn't forget it.

One by one they lined up honestly.

Before distributing the money, Meng Qing spoke first, "From now on, we will be a family, and everyone will contribute to the family, so part of the money everyone earns will be given to the public school, and it will be shared by everyone. Now everyone

The wage is 5 cents for each successful order, so pay 3 cents for each order to the public, and keep 2 cents for yourself. It is up to you whether you hand over the reward or not. If you hand it over, it will be registered separately."

Everyone has no objection to this. It was Sister Meng Qing who found such a good thing, and even asked them to leave two notes for every order. If they ran a lot, they would have a lot of money in one day, and they didn't even charge any reward.

silver.

When the copper coins were actually given to them, Dahua and the others were all laughing so hard that they couldn't even see their teeth.

Of course, Meng Qing would not forget the four people who handed out flyers. Although they did not deliver takeaways, they still worked hard, so Meng Qing also gave each of them 5 cents as wages.

Xiaofang and the others, who thought they didn't have it, looked at the five coins in their palms and their faces turned red with excitement.

This was the first time they made money.

I looked left and right, but I couldn't get enough of it. It looked like I wanted to look into Qian's eyes.

The big ones, Dahua and Xiaofeng, couldn't stand it anymore, so they carried the four of them past.

Seeing their happy faces, Meng Qing also had a smile on his face.

I feel that everything I do is meaningful, even if it is not for anything else, just to protect this smile.

At the same time, Meng Qing also registered the performance of everyone. Among them, Dahua gave the most. One person made fifteen orders, and he also received tips for eight of them, ranging from 2 yuan to more than ten yuan.

The reward alone is as much as 60 pieces of paper.

Next were three boys, Xiaofeng Xiaoyun and Shitou. They were all around ten orders and didn't reward much. Meng Qing thought maybe these three boys weren't sweet enough.

The total reward from three people is almost the same as Dahua alone.

The rest are kept in the same order as seven or eight orders, which are all very good.

What surprised Meng Qing the most was that one of the little girls named Huahua took out a small purse from her arms, which contained a silver peanut weighing two coins.

If it were replaced with copper plates, it would cost almost 200 copper coins.

Without exception, they were all handed over to Meng Qing for safekeeping.

After keeping all personal accounts, Xiaotong took out the food for the first time, earning a total income of 225 Wen, plus a tip of 320 Wen + 2 coins.

With a little money, Meng Qing couldn't help but want to buy something.

There are really too many things missing.

Meng Qing thought for a while that he wanted to buy this, and for a while he thought he wanted to buy that. Finally, after calculation, he felt that he might not have enough money on hand, so he had to sneak Dahua, who was still excited, and Dabao, who had business talent, over to ask them for some advice.

The little girl Juhua was still too young. Although she was talented, Meng Qing still didn't drag her along.

After listening to Meng Qing's words, Dahua and Dabao who were pulled over rubbed their noses. Do they want to buy so many things?

They feel that life is very good now, with new clothes, new shoes and wages.

It turns out that in the eyes of Sister Meng Qing, they still lack so many things.

As the eldest sister, Dahua is determined to continue working hard and earn more money. Just like Sister Meng Qing said, they will be a family in the future. With so many younger brothers and sisters, she has to work hard to support them.

.

Silently make fists to cheer yourself up.

Dabao's eyes were shining, and there was only small money in his eyes. After today, he became very interested in making money.

And I strongly agree with what Sister Meng Qing said, money is not saved, but spent. This is not called a waste of money, it is called an early investment.

Hearing this, Dabao felt enlightened, as if he had found his life goal.

While looking at Xiao Qianqian, he also looked at Meng Qing with burning eyes.

Meng Qing saw the two people's completely different performances and thought to herself that she had aroused Dabao's interest in doing business.

It seems that even if you have talent yourself, you need someone to guide and inspire you.

Studying must also be put on the agenda.

As the saying goes, reading makes people wise. It is impossible to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone with this money. I don’t know if I can afford the three-piece enlightenment set.

Or she can go somewhere to enjoy the autumn breeze. No, how can she say it is about doing business? It is obviously to solicit sponsorship?

Meng Qing kept thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

The time is still too short. Anyway, the deed is signed for three days. When the time comes, I will take this deed and the bill from Tianyue Building to Director Liang. I think there may be an unexpected harvest.

The three of them finally discussed it and decided to buy some rice. Only by eating well would they have the strength to work. They couldn't just rely on Tianyuelou's food all the time.

Dabao volunteered and roped in his little buddy. Shitou Xiaofeng wanted to go with Meng Qing.

Naturally, Meng Qing would not refuse, and it was regarded as giving Dabao a practical lesson.

After bringing enough money, we headed towards the grain store.

After calculating the rations needed for twelve people, I arrived at the door of the grain store and saw today's grain price written on the door.

A dou costs 60 cents. Presumably due to the disaster in the north, food prices have risen a lot. According to Dabao, a dou cost 40 cents before.

"Shopkeeper, the price of grain has increased a lot." Meng Qing talked to the shopkeeper, hoping to get some news. Generally speaking, the world is not peaceful, and these grain merchants react faster than the government.

"It has risen. There is no harvest in the north, and there is little food in the south. That's why it has risen. But the quantity is definitely enough. How much do you want, little lady?"

"I originally wanted to buy more grain, but I never thought that the price of grain has risen so much, and I can't buy much anymore." Meng Qing pretended to be in trouble. The price of grain is so expensive, whether he should buy it or not.

The shopkeeper of the grain store saw that Meng Qing and his party were all wearing the simplest linen clothes. He thought they were from poor families, so he kindly reminded him, "If you want to buy grain, it's better to buy more now. You won't know how to store grain."

bad."

When Meng Qing heard this, his thoughts moved and he asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the price will increase later?"

"It's hard to say, it just depends on whether God will give you face." The shopkeeper said evasively.

Meng Qing understood. It seemed that the drought in the north was getting more serious. Where the disaster was more serious, the price of food fluctuated more severely.

Although Dabao doesn't understand why they are just chatting when they are just here to buy food, Dabao will keep it in mind and think carefully about things he doesn't understand. For example, right now, he puts his ears up high and listens to Meng Qing and the shopkeeper.

all words.
