Selling farm eels to support the family

The couple hurriedly took a bowl of noodles for themselves, and as they ate, they saw a young man pushing a wooden carriage.

“Do you want to eat noodles?”

The owner of the stall immediately stood up and asked.

The boss was ready to open the pot and put in the noodles.

But the young man smiled, and shook his head, and said, “Uncle, aunt, I am not here to eat noodles.”

The couple was stunned for a moment.

Not to eat noodles?

So for what..?

“I came here to sell eel,”

the young man said with a smile.

Of course that young man was Jiang Zhou.

After Jiang Zhou finished talking, he quickly lifted the bucket from his wooden carriage.

It's half a bucket full.

The inside was pitch-black, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that everything was a blackish-yellow rice field eel.

A large eel can weigh more than half a kilogram

The couple fell silent for a moment, then looked at each other.

the boss' wife smiled and said, "Young man, you have good taste. This fish is pretty good! "

"How much for a kilogram?"

ask the boss while eating noodles.

Jiang Zhou pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle, Auntie, my rice field eels are all captured from the fields. The size is big and very delicious. The blood of the paddy eel is also good for the body."

"Try you guys think, what if RP. 4,000 for a kilogram?"

RP. 4,000 to one kilogram.

Much cheaper than meat.

It cannot be compared to the modern era.

However, in the 1980s, this was a natural thing.

After all, a kilogram of fatty meat can be eaten in for a long time and can be cooked into oil and fried fat.

Not like an eel.

It takes a lot of oil to cook rice eel, the cooking process is also troublesome.

Only the people in the county would be willing to buy it, In the countryside, absolutely no one wanted it.

The market price is usually Rp. 4,200 per kilogram.

When Jiang Zhou gave a price of Rp. 4000 it made sense.

Justjust right...

After hearing Jiang Zhou words, the couple immediately smiled.

"Good! aye! Young man, you are indeed honest in business."

While saying that, the Boss asked his wife to take the scales inside the stall.

"Your rice field coats look good, the size is also decent. Tell you what, in the future if you catch it again, you can deliver it to me. No matter small or big, I will buy it Rp. 4,000 to a kilogram, how about?"

The boss said with a smile.

At that moment, Jiang Zhou also smiled widely.

"Good! Thank you uncle!"

"You're very forthright, your business is sure to prosper!"

After being reborn, she understood the importance of having a sweet mouth.

Sure enough, those few words made his boss smile happily.

After a while later, the boss' wife had returned.

The boss's wife carried a hollow bamboo basket and an ancient scale, and she poured out all the eels in the wooden bucket.

After weighing.

“Total 2.55 kilogram”

Ckcc.

Not more or less.

Jiang Zhou silently gave a thumbs-up to himself inwardly

Wouldn't he be able to save money on buying scales?

“Alright, this is Rp.20.400 take it!”

The boss handed over the money.

Jiang Zhou kept it carefully, thanked him once more, then walked away.

Rp.20,400 added with Rp.7,800 from the daylili sale, today he has produced Rp.28,200

It's just that, there's capital to buy the rice field eels in this money.

Jiang Zhou counted for a moment.

The total money he can use now is Rp.23,560

Jiang Zhou looked at the pile of money in his hand. Suddenly he rubbed his forehead helplessly

Uh!

Everything was difficult at the beginning.

Yet...

Now that he had found a new way to sell the rice field eel, jiang zhou was confident that if he raised some capital, he could turn his goal into an even more profitable business.!

............

Supply and Marketing Cooperatives.

Jiang Zhou carefully selected the cloth on display at the counter seriously.

Actually, there is now a sewing shop.

But the finished clothes in the tailor shop are more expensive, and the models are not very good.

In addition, some women from wealthy families have developed the habit of reading newspapers and watching TV every day.

Especially the TV series from York City, after it aired, the style of clothing in it must have become popular.

Therefore, women in this era usually bought their own cloth in supply and direct marketing.

Then they would choose a model and ask the sewing shop to sew it.

Those who have money will buy good materials, and those who have no money will buy cheap materials.

His clothes.

Jiang Zhou also had his own ideas.

As long as he took advantage of the business opportunity and good means, he could definitely make a lot of money.

However, the money for the initial capital is still lacking.

Jiang Zhou had no intention of taking business advantage of others.

He watched the carefully rolled cloth, and finally he chose a cloth with a pattern of small flowers.

A bright yellow color coloring one petal one petal daisy flower with a small daisy flower decorating it.

The material is pure cotton, including good material.

Jiang Zhou knew if Liu Mengli was here, he would definitely not let him buy him this cloth.

Yet.

Let's just say this is the selfishness of jiang zhou himself.

Although the money Rp.23.560 in his hand to buy eel rice fields.

However, Jiang Zhou had his own thoughts.

Between the speed at which he makes money and the happiness of his daughter.

He would definitely choose the second option without hesitation.

“Friend, I want to buy this floral patterned fabric, how much is it per meter?”

the counter guard came over, and held out a long ruler in his hand, pointing to the pile of cloth, and said, “Do you want this one?”

Jiang Zhou nodded.

the counter guard said "This fabric is a high quality cotton cloth. If there is a cloth ticket, one foot Rp.2,000 if you do not have a cloth ticket Rp.2,600 "

Jiang Zhou took out his cloth ticket.

six pieces of cloth tickets.

jiang zhou bought a six-foot-tall cloth, the cloth was only enough to make clothes for his two daughters.

Jiang Zhou paid, then took the cloth, and rushed home.

............

Jiangzhou felt pain in his calves and his stomach was hungry.

He pushed the wooden kerta that contained an empty bucket. When he came back, he also picked wild celery.

Arriving at home, he pushed his wooden cart into the yard, he immediately walked to the water tank, then took the water with a spoon, and drank it in a big gulp.

Inside the house, Liu Mengli was picking vegetables with his two children, when he heard a voice, the two cute children immediately ran out.

“Ayah~ You're back?!"

"Zoe, miss daddy~"

the voices of the two children sounded very cute.

One left and one right, they crashed into jiang zhou's arms .

Liu Mengli also took a quick look out.

When he saw the water spoon in Jiang Zhou's hand, he frowned slightly.

"There's boiled water inside the porcelain vat. Do not drink raw water. It's not safe,"

said Liu Mengli.

Jiang Zhou smiled and agreed

He put down the water spoon, then stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the noses of the two cute children.

“Dad, Mom said Chloe and Zoe will have new clothes!"

Chloe's thick-haired little head jumped up and down in jiang zhou's arms, her spoiled appearance warming jiang zhou's heart.

"Zoe, want to wear flower skirt~"

Zoe has been eating and drinking a lot in these two days.

His little face looked a little round.

Now his face was a little stye and reddish, no longer as yellow as before.

Jiang Zhou could not help but pinch his little face gently.

“Do Chloe and Zoe want to wear a flower dress?”

Jiang Zhou asked.

As soon as the two little ones heard the flower dress, their eyes immediately sparkled.They hugged Jiang Zhou's legs and rubbed their heads on his feet.

"Year of flowers~Gaun bunga~"

"Chloe likes flower dresses~"

"Zoe also~"

Jiang Zhou wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Then he smiled and said "Well, then Chloe and Zoe close their eyes first, they can open their eyes soon!"

The two children closed their eyes obediently.

Jiang Zhou walked up to the wooden carriage and took out a six-foot-tall cloth wrapped in newspaper.

The six-foot-tall fabric is almost five square meters.

It was enough to make a set of clothes for his two children.

Jiangzhou picked up the cloth and walked to the side of the two cute children.

The two children were closing their eyes nervously. They held out their hands to close their eyes.

However, they were really impatient

The two little ones quietly peered through the gaps of their fingers

"Have not been~ yet?"

Chloe asked in a cute voice

"Zoe, want to see it~"

Jiang Zhou walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "already~"

When he heard it quickly the two children let go of their hands and opened their eyes.

A beautiful and clean piece of daisy cloth appeared before the two cute children.

The two little boys were dumbfounded.

They had never seen such beautiful little flowers!

“good?”

Jiang Zhou asked them.

"Good! Chloe likes! Like!"

"Zoe likes it too! Gorgeous "

The two little children jumped up and down and wanted to extend a hand to touch the little flowers, but they were afraid to dirty them

Their extremely cautious countenances made Jiang Zhou feel sad and touched.

Then she said “Let mom make a dress for Chloe and Zoe, okay?”

Liu Mengli had also come out from inside the house.

He immediately saw the small flower cloth that was in Jiang Zhou's hands.

Liu Mengli walked over with an unwilling heart.

“This material is pure cotton?, per one foot it takes at least two thousand, right?”

He feels a little unwilling with his money, “Kids grow up quickly, so wasteful if you buy a fabric material as expensive as this.”

Jiang Zhou just smiled.

“As long as the child likes it, the money will not be wasted,”

Jiang Zhou knew.

Although Liu Mengli was not willing with his money, he was clearly very satisfied with the cloth.

After all, who doesn't like good clothes?

In addition, the clothes were for his own son.

“Unfortunately, I can't buy you fabric to make a” dress

jiang Zhou suddenly said.

His eyes looked straight at Liu Mengli.

Liu mengli was stunned.

Her cheeks feel a little hot.

"I've got clothes to wear, no need..."

"The paint will look beautiful to you."

Before Liu Mengli finished speaking, Jiang Zhou interrupted.

Jiang zhou looked at him with a smile. Her eyes were gentle and loving with affection that Liu had never seen before.

His heart is beating fast.

Her cheeks were also very hot.

“Later in the afternoon I will go to Auntie Zhang's house in front of the village, to borrow the sewing machine”

Liu Mengli quickly changed the subject and said slowly.

Jiang Zhou did not think too much.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel and smiled.

“I'll cook.”

The pork purchased for the Qingming Festival has not been exhausted.

For fear of being broken.

Jiangzhou marinated it with salt.

Jiang zhou cut a piece of meat, put it in clean water and washed it twice carefully, to remove the salt cleanly.

After that, Jiang Zhou only started cooking.

Fried pork with wild celery, dried chili peppers picked in front of the house, then boiled a bowl of steamed eggs, and pork liver soup left over yesterday.

Last is one large pot of white rice.

With Jiangzhou's current earning speed, it was still a little difficult to eat fresh meat every day.

After all, he had just been reborn a few days ago.

This family is like a straw house that is hollow everywhere, all of them need money.

Jiang Zhou was in no hurry either.

He also had to steady his pace, step by step towards success.

One day, she will be able to make her children live better lives.
