The next day before dawn, the fourth child of the Han family came to look for Su Yue.
The eldest of the Han family, Han Aimin, is only twelve years old this year, and standing in front of Su Yue only reaches her shoulders. He is very thin and looks like a child in Su Yue's eyes.
Su Yue felt guilty for using child labor.
Han Aimin did not feel that he was being used as child labor at all. On the contrary, he was simply too pleasantly surprised. When he got home yesterday, his mother told him to let him run errands for Su Zhiqing to sell things in the town and share 20% of his profits. He thought he had heard it wrong. stand up.
He dislikes going to work the most, not because he is tired, but mainly because he is young, and the brigade only distributes work such as mowing grass and collecting cow dung for their children. The work points are not enough for him to eat, but he can't if he doesn't go, otherwise the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law will feel that the family has idle people and cannot live in peace.
In fact, his favorite thing is to help his mother go to town to sell things like eggs. He finds it very interesting, even if he has to walk back and forth for more than two hours, he does not feel tired. But it took a long time for the family to go to town to sell things to subsidize the family, which made him very regretful.
Now Su Zhiqing asked him to help sell things, and he was willing to do so, let alone making money. He ate the moon cake that Su Zhiqing gave to his eldest brother last night. He had never seen or eaten that kind of moon cake, but it was so delicious that one wanted to bite off his tongue. It would be hell if no one bought such a moon cake.
He was sure that the moon cakes would sell well.
Because of the deliciousness of moon cakes, Han Aimin admired Su Yue very much, scratched his head and praised her: "Sister Su Yue, the moon cakes you make are so delicious, I have never eaten such delicious moon cakes."
Su Yue laughed, took out two moon cakes from the basket containing moon cakes and handed them to him, "Take it and eat, this is your breakfast, come out in the morning without breakfast, don't walk hungry."
Han Aimin shook his head quickly, and took out two wotou from his small satchel to show her, "Sister Su Yue, my mother gave me a wotou in the morning, I have breakfast, this moon cake is so delicious, it will definitely make money, don't Waste it, keep it for money.”
I didn't expect him to be so sensible, but Su Yue liked this child more and more, and thought about it and said, "That's fine, you sell it first, if we can't sell it, we'll eat it ourselves."
Han Aimin immediately disagreed and said, "Why can't it be sold! Sister Su Yue, don't worry, I will definitely sell out such delicious moon cakes."
Seeing how confident he is, Su Yue rubbed his head, "That's fine, I'll reward you when you sell out, and my sister will cook you something delicious."
Han Aimin's eyes lit up, he secretly swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Sister Su Yue, how do we sell these moon cakes? How much does it cost?"
There is only one kind of moon cake on the market. The filling is the kind of green and red silk with rock sugar, plus some melon seeds and peanuts. No matter what people think, Su Yue feels that it is a bit difficult to describe whether it is visual or taste. If you give it to her She couldn't eat it.
Moon cakes like this are still a rarity, and they are generally not available for purchase. Not only money but also tickets are required.
It's not her boasting, the moon cakes she makes are definitely more than the moon cakes like this, and they can be bought without a ticket, so she wants to be a little more expensive than the moon cakes here.
So Su Yue asked Han Aimin, "Aimin, do you know how ordinary moon cakes are sold?"
This Han Aimin really knows that the prices of the things in the commune are clear, "Nowadays, you can usually buy four moon cakes with one ticket, but each moon cake needs an extra 10 cents. If there are no tickets, they will be sold privately to For others, add five cents more."
That's it, then if you don't need a ticket, the moon cake will be about 15 cents a piece, which is quite expensive.
So Su Yue decided: "If you love the people, then our moon cakes will be set at 20 cents a piece, and we don't need a ticket. Of course, if someone has a ticket, we will also want it, whether it's an oil ticket or a food ticket. You can count the money for others, okay? Is it?"
Han Aimin nodded neatly immediately, "No problem, Sister Su Yue has everything on me, and it's getting late, I have to sell it quickly."
Su Yue saw that he was more anxious than her, and was funny, and hurriedly stopped him, gave her the address of Sister Jiang's house where she bought the cake last time, and asked him to go to Sister Jiang's house to sell it first.
Last time, Sister Jiang asked her to show her something delicious.
After Han Aimin memorized the address, he carried the basket and ran away in a hurry. Su Yue was stunned by her footsteps, and felt that she was far inferior to being an adult as a child.
This kid is amazing.
Han Aimin didn't come back until evening, and when he came back, he ran to look for Su Yue without even going home. His face was flushed red, his eyes were extra bright, and he looked very excited.
Su Yue estimated that it was selling well.
Sure enough, before Su Yue could ask, Han Aimin took the initiative to whisper excitedly: "Sister Su Yue, all the moon cakes are sold! Look!"
After talking, he took out a lot of money, and there were all kinds of tickets in the middle, including food stamps, postage stamps, and many non-staple food tickets.
"Yeah, I made so much money." Su Yue was fine when she saw the money, but she was excited when she saw these tickets. The main reason is that now everyone has a limited number of tickets, so they want to buy some. You can't buy anything, but with a ticket you can. The last time she went to the market, she used up all the counting tickets she had, but now there are so many suddenly, can you be unhappy
Han Aimin: "The first one I went to was the one you gave me the address. I asked their family to try it first, and everyone said it was delicious, so I bought eight yuan right away, and I didn't wait for me to go elsewhere to continue selling it. Well, Sister Jiang told me not to sell it elsewhere. She said she wanted to help me ask them if there was anyone else in the factory to buy, and then several would buy it after tasting it, and the mooncakes in the basket would be sold directly there. It was sold short, and I didn’t have time to sell it elsewhere.”
The more Han Aimin said, the more excited she became. "Sister Su Yue, there are still several shops in the compound of the textile factory that were late and didn't buy it. They asked me if I had any more, and asked me if I would go to their factory tomorrow to sell them."
"Yeah, that's great." Su Yue didn't expect moon cakes to sell so well, she thought it would be difficult to sell because of the high price.
Su Yue immediately went into the house and took out all the moon cakes she made today, "Aimin, I made another basket today, you can take it and sell it there tomorrow, and by the way, ask each household if there are any relatives. If you want to buy, you can pre-order the quantity and deliver it to them the next day.”
Han Aimin excitedly took the basket, as if he had seen countless money beckoning to him.
Su Yue counted the money and votes in her hand. There were twelve votes in total, plus five yuan and thirty cents. She took out three votes, counted another one yuan and handed them to Han Aimin, saying, "Here, Aimin. , this is what you deserve today."
Han Aimin naturally knew how much he had earned today, so he shook his head immediately, took out a ticket and two cents and returned it to Su Yue, saying, "Sister Su Yue, you need oil, flour, and sugar to make moon cakes. You should go to buy the money and give it to me later, how can you give me so much, so you will lose money."
Su Yue did not pay for the cost, and directly calculated 20% of the income according to the amount of income, but did not expect this child to be so upright, if others would have accepted it happily.
Su Yue couldn't help but like this child even more, the character of this child is really good. Such people are also good partners.
Su Yue was not polite, accepted the ticket and money he returned, and then took out a package of food wrapped in oil paper for him, "Then take this, this is what Sister Su Yue made today, and it's a reward for you. , don't refuse this."
Even though it was wrapped in oil paper, the incessant fragrance still lingered on his nostrils. Han Aimin took a breath, and his saliva was about to come down. He smiled and took the oil paper bag and said, "Sister Su Yue, then I won't be polite to you. , thank you ma'am."
"Okay, no thanks, go home, there are flower rolls in the oil paper bag, eat it hot."
"Hey, I see." Han Aimin happily took the basket and ran away.
When Han Aimin got home, the family was eating. His mother saw him coming back and said, "Why did you come back? Hurry up and sit down to eat."
Before Han Aimin sat down, the third daughter-in-law of Han hurriedly asked, "How is it, fourth, how was the sale today? How much did you make? Did Su Zhiqing give you any money?"
The old lady Han's face suddenly became stiff, and she reprimanded: "It's none of your business! What are you doing so actively? This work is the work of the fourth child, and the money is earned by the fourth child himself. It's hard to imagine this. want?"
The third daughter-in-law of Han murmured in a low voice, "We are all a family. Whoever earns money must give it to his mother. Isn't what the fourth earns the family earns?"
Mrs. Han was too lazy to care about her, so she asked Han Aimin to eat quickly. The child ran away all day, and he definitely didn't eat at noon. He must be starving now.
Han Aimin was indeed starving, but he was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he took out the oil paper bag that Su Yue had just given and handed it to Mrs. Han, "Mother, this is the food that Sister Su Yue gave me just now. She said it was a reward for me. Warm up for everyone, let's eat together."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the people at the table were fixed on the oil-paper package, especially the children, their eyes were shining.
"This Xiao Su is polite, and I'll give you something to eat." The old lady Han happily opened the oiled paper bag, revealing three white roll-shaped buns inside, and there were circles of red fillings on them, like a flower Flower-like, pretty tight.
Han Aimin explained, "Mother, Sister Su Yue said it's called Bean Paste Flower Roll."
The second daughter-in-law of Han smiled and praised: "Mother, this flower scroll is really beautiful, like a flower, Su Zhiqing's hands are really clever."
The old lady Han glanced at Han Aiguo who was silent and said with a deep smile: "No, this little Su is really a wonderful person, I have never seen such a capable girl, and I don't know who can be in the future. I am fortunate to marry such a good girl."
The third daughter-in-law of Han didn't care whether she was married or not, and couldn't wait to say, "Mother, hurry up and get hot, and give us a taste. It's so delicious."
The old lady Han rolled her eyes at her, "You know how to eat, I've never seen you so active at work."
The third daughter-in-law of Han didn't care about being told, she still smiled, as long as she had something to eat.
Mrs. Han went to the kitchen to warm up the rolls, and then divided them into several portions, each of the family had to try one portion.
"Mother, this flower roll is so sweet, it's even better than Dabai steamed buns!" Han Lao San's wife wanted to bite off her tongue.
Even the second and third brothers Han, who have never spoken much, were satisfied and praised.
The children don't need to talk about it, they gnawed on them so much that they couldn't even talk about it, and the way they devoured it was as if they had never eaten in eight lifetimes.
The old lady Han looked at Han Aiguo and asked with a smile, "Aiguo, what do you think it tastes like?"
