The next morning, Bai Dashan went out to work, while Li Chengcheng pushed the box and quilt on his bicycle and set off with Ling Ruoxue, Bai Shuli and the boy Bai Shuli brought with him, Xia Yunlai.
Xia Yunlai is also fourteen years old this year, but he has no chance to study.
His biological mother died of illness and his stepmother bullied him. He only had enough food to eat and endless work to do at home. Because he was suffering too much, Bai Shuli decided to help him.
Ling Ruoxue was a little unhappy when she saw two boys, Bai Shuli and Xia Yunlai, following her, "Li Chengcheng, why did you call these two boys to deal with the two of us?"
"We, two young and beautiful girls, went to the countryside to sell popsicles. Do you think it was safe? We were knocked unconscious from behind with a wooden stick and dragged home to the bridal chamber. What should you do?" Li Chengcheng frowned.
He frowned and said, "I asked the two boys to follow us, not only to protect us, but also to scare those who have ulterior motives. Do you understand?"
Ling Ruoxue nodded with all her thoughts in mind. Before, she thought that one dollar a day was too expensive. After all, she couldn't make so much money after working the previous day. But now after listening to Li Chengcheng's explanation, she realized that the money was well spent.
Arriving at the gate of the food factory, Bai Shuli and Xia Yunlai were a little nervous. They had never been to this place before!
Li Chengcheng took out the forty yuan she and Ling Ruoxue had collected together and handed it to the old doorman, "Uncle, we only have one bicycle and can haul up to two boxes at a time. Can we come over after we sell out?"
The old man nodded, registered them, and then led them to the warehouse to move the popsicles. After taking the popsicles out, they immediately put them in a box and protected them with quilts. Then the four of them left.
They don't go straight to the countryside outside the town to sell, but they sell in that direction as they go, selling as much as they can.
The popsicles sold for eight cents each, the same price as everyone else, so the people who bought the popsicles didn’t say anything, let alone bargain. They just bought them after asking the price. They saw that there were fewer and fewer popsicles in the box.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were afraid they wouldn't be able to sell it.
Li Chengcheng is not afraid. He will lose 20 yuan if he can't sell it. But if he fails to start a business for the first time, this is a bad start, which may affect his future business ventures!
When you come to the village, not many people are willing to buy popsicles, but as soon as the children at home yell, the grandparents still buy them for the children, so the sales of popsicles in rural areas are quite good.
After selling for most of the day, the popsicles were finally sold out. Li Chengcheng felt that selling popsicles in rural areas was unrealistic, because the consumption in rural areas was so strong, and it had to be sold in the town. She decided to sell them in the town the next day.
, sell wherever there are many people.
As for going to the countryside to sell popsicles, you can go there every few days. If you don't sell popsicles every day, it's a waste of time, because rural people can't buy popsicles for their children every day, and they won't make much money in the first place.
Who is willing to use half a day’s or one day’s work-point income to buy a popsicle!
After selling all the popsicles, several people were very tired, but they all felt happy and satisfied because this was their first time selling popsicles.
When they came to a forest, several people sat directly on the ground and adjusted their breathing. They felt as if their bodies were on fire. In fact, the summer temperature at this time was really not as high as the summer temperature in later generations.
Li Chengcheng took out all the money and carefully counted the forty yuan. This is capital, and he will use this capital to purchase goods tomorrow!
A thousand popsicles were sold today, and no one was willing to eat any of them. They sold them all. The total cost plus profit was eighty yuan. We first set aside a capital of forty yuan for the second day, and there were four more popsicles left.
A profit of ten dollars.
Li Chengcheng gave Bai Shuli and Xia Yunlai one yuan each, and then gave them a meal subsidy of twenty cents each, because in order to hurry up and sell the popsicles, no one had lunch.
There were still thirty-seven yuan and sixty cents left. Li Chengcheng and Ling Ruoxue each received eighteen and eighty cents. Ling Ruoxue did not expect that they would earn nearly nineteen yuan in one day, which was half a month's salary of urban workers.
If she persists for a month, she can earn five to six hundred yuan by herself, which is really amazing.
Ling Ruoxue couldn't help but admire Li Chengcheng. Although she had never read a book, she really had a brain!
Bai Shuli and Xia Yunlai took their one yuan and twenty cents, and they were very happy. If they could follow Li Chengcheng and sell popsicles for a month, their income would be almost the same as that of urban workers, but they both knew that summer is short.
, plus they will start school at the end of August, they can only make money for a month at most, but this is enough, they are not greedy.
"Ling Ruoxue, Bai Shuli, you two are students. You should study hard and make money while not missing out on classes, otherwise your family will blame me." Li Chengcheng raised his head and glanced into the distance. The sun was too dazzling and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Bai Shuli nodded, "Well, I will study when I get back. From now on, I will study for two hours every day when I get back."
Li Chengcheng nodded, "Yes, studying for two hours a day is enough. If the time is too long, the brain will be like a paste, and there will be no learning efficiency at all."
Ling Ruoxue turned her head and looked at Li Chengcheng. She always felt that she knew a lot and was not at all like an illiterate who had never read a book.
"By the way, when you go back, please don't tell anyone about the money we make from selling popsicles, lest everyone come to wholesale the popsicles and sell them. They won't thank us if they make money, but they will definitely trouble us if they lose money.
Even if we don't tell anyone who asked us to lose money, if they find out later and follow suit and sell popsicles, it has nothing to do with us." Human nature cannot stand the test.
Although Bai Shuli and Xia Yunlai didn't quite understand, they both nodded in agreement, especially Xia Yunlai. Who was he to tell? Tell his stepmother and let her take the money away? He's not stupid.
He was absent from work today, and his stepmother was probably going to explode when she found out that he didn't go to work. But in order to make money, in order to leave this environment that made him collapse, so what if he got a beating?
If his stepmother beats him, he will use it to pretend to be sick and go to the hospital for a check-up. Anyway, he will not work for his stepmother anymore. He will not get any food. What is he doing in this job?
Xia Yunlai hesitated for a while before speaking to Li Chengcheng, "Sister Cheng Cheng, can I leave my money with you? My house..."
Bai Shuli interrupted him, "Call Auntie."
How could he be shorter for no reason?
"Okay, give it to me! Just remember the money yourself." Li Chengcheng already had a simple understanding of Xia Yun's situation at home.
If Xia Yunlai had taken the money home, it would probably have become someone else's before he even covered it.
