"Five Guans, little brother, you want to have five supervisors by one person. We are twenty-four of us, and we have 120 Guans together. We must first talk about what to do."
Liu Pan heard that he needs to pay for five guanxis. For a moment, five guanxis are five thousand wen. Putting aside two guanans in the previous year is not bad, everyone now has a few dozen guanans, but five guanns are definitely not. small amount.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "Yes, I actually want to take you to make jelly."
"Little brother, I just make jelly. I don't need the much money you said." Gui Er began to wonder if the other party was a liar. How much money should I make to make jelly
"Sister-in-law Guier, how much do you cost?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
"Cost? I use broad beans and mung beans to make jelly, usually half a catty of mung beans plus one and a half catties of broad beans, four catties of jelly, and a lot of dregs must be filtered out. I sell two lumps a day, and one lumps 30 jin. One portion of jelly is about scraped Come out in twos or twos, just scrape out..."
"Two hundred servings, the ingredients are seven and a half catties of mung beans and 22 catties and a half of broad beans. According to the current Yizhou food price, a catty of good mung beans costs five cents, and a catty of normal broad beans costs about two and a half cents. It is said that Douziqian is probably ninety-four essays, and you only make 306 essays a day only for Douziqian."
Zhang Xiaobao opened his mouth when he saw that the other party was slow.
Gui Er nodded again and again: "But I didn't make that much."
"Of course, because you have to add sesame sauce, garlic juice, sweet and sour and aniseed soup, especially sesame sauce and sugar, the price is not low, the cucumber will come down in a few days, I don’t know if you can put it in it. , If you put it, you will have to add cost, but the price can't go up.
If the price is high, you can't sell two hundred copies, you are attracting customers at a higher cost than others. Except for this money, if you don't spend water, you will be paid by Brother Liu, and you will not spend money for firewood, but Brother Liu will give you directly. "
Zhang Xiaobao analyzed and summarized some situations.
Liu Pan had been frightened by Zhang Xiaobao's analysis before, and now he still looks very scared, asking: "How do you know that firewood does not cost money?"
"Because there are a lot of goods coming from the terminal with wooden boards. Some goods must always be wrapped with wooden boards, and some are unpacked directly on the spot. If you take out the contents, the boards will be useless. You can help others to remove the boards for free. , Naturally left to you.
At that time, part of you will be taken home for home use, most of which will be used to make jelly with sister-in-law Guier. Others sell jelly without soup. Aunt Guier deliberately adds soup to quench your thirst, and it is cleaner than drinking raw water.
Oh, the cost is not right, because Sister Guier always scrapes a few times when she sells you, not a three or two, but Sister Guier sells things at the wharf, you don’t need to worry about it. Any expenses. "
Zhang Xiaobao said everything in it as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"You...little brother, are you doing intelligence?" Liu Pan asked with wide-eyed eyes.
Wang Juan chuckled: "No, we have to care about such seemingly small things. For ordinary people, every stitch and thread is precious. We need to know the approximate total income, average income, and at the same time. To understand how ordinary people live, every small family, together to form a big family, is not the same as money, and it cannot be expressed by numbers alone.
Anxious for the people's urgency, thinking about the people's thoughts, is not just a verbal joking thing, I don't know the price of oil and salt, how to calm the people? The two of us seem to be from wealthy families, but we care more about trivial matters than you. "
Liu Pan and the others were dumbfounded, but they really couldn't figure out why the two people who were rich and wealthy knew so many things that had nothing to do with wealth.
Listening to the voice of this baby girl has a high meaning, like talking to an official, the difference is that it is more realistic than what the official said, as if the life of oneself and others has a relationship with him.
"Brother, since you know, let us make jelly? Guier can't sell it alone, we can't help her sell it." Liu Pan reiterated the jelly.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded: "Of course, sister-in-law Guier, you can directly say how much profit you make in a day, that is, if you exclude all other money, you make a net profit."
Gui Er breaking her fingers, lowered her head and said, "Probably, there are about 120 letters, mainly sugar, vinegar, and sesame sauce are expensive, but the salt is not much. If you eat too much salty, you can use the aniseed for many times. , I cook it in a gauze bag.
They sweat at work, and if I don’t put the soup, they have to drink other water. Since it’s all put, let’s sell it. Anyway, more people eat it. "
Zhang Xiaobao snapped his lips: "The sesame sauce is expensive because of the low yield of sesame seeds. What did Sinong Temple think? I thought it would be enough to increase food production? With the increasing living standards of the people, the demand for other commodities is also... .
Sister Guier, the cost is too high. Brother Liu and the others have to help you carry water, help you transport the soup, and they have to help you split the plank. They only need to ride in for two quarters of an hour every day, then it is ten. One to five hours, or they can call in to help.
In other words, basically what you pay every day is the full work of two people. This is still because the court has helped you take on the part of raising your children, because your identity gives you the exemption of any tax, which is equivalent to one person earning money. Sixty cents.
According to the normal income, there is indeed a lot of money, but you have the convenience of traveling between the terminals, just like this money? There are a lot of other snacks at the terminal. What a good location and what a good opportunity. If I do it myself, I will integrate the entire terminal’s business in half a year. I think I don’t earn 600 guana a day. pay. "
"If you earn, you will lose." Wang Juan interrupted, letting Xiaobao waste so much time, only earning 600 guana a day, how much talent was wasted
More than twenty people in Liu Pan were stunned again. Who, who is too crazy, wants to integrate the business of the dock, do you know how deep the water is in the dock? Six hundred cans a day, dreaming may be okay, and when you wake up from a dream, you will startle yourself.
A liar is definitely a liar.
Liu Pan's eyes changed when he looked at Zhang Xiaobao, as if he wanted to catch the opponent at any time. When he saw it through, if the opponent ran away, he had to catch him back, causing him and the others to lose a lot of money.
Zhang Xiaobao swept away at random and saw what the other party was thinking. He took out two hundred guan banknotes from his arms and patted Liu Pan's hand: "I will give out two hundred guan, cooperate with you, and wait for you to make enough money, and pay me back. ."
"Uh... You don't want interest?" Liu Pan didn't believe it.
"No, see if the money is true or false." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand.
"Are you not in the stock?" Liu Pan vigorously observed the money. Really, and the money is still very new, he rubbed it lightly and snapped.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head: "No entry."
"Then what's your picture?" Liu Pan now doesn't treat Zhang Xiaobao as a liar, but as a fool.
"I'm really not short of this money, I will help you, I am kind-hearted, okay? I do good deeds, okay? I leave a good reputation, okay?" Zhang Xiaobao asked continuously.
"Okay, okay, okay." Liu Panben asked, shaking his head up and down: "Then, start making jelly now?"
"Prepare the ingredients first, plus your 120 pens, a total of 320 pens, buy a lot of broad beans, just a little bit of mung beans, you can borrow a taste, right?" Zhang Xiaobao asked the barley.
"Yes, now I feed the animals, and only go to places in the northwest to eat, where other things are not long and cheap, buy them?" Liu Pan asked confusedly.
"Buy, you have to change the mill. The small mill is too slow. Some people sell bean cakes. Go and buy. In this season, there are sorbus eggs on the mountain. Buy, change the big pot, build the big stove. Trolleys, wooden reels will do. Buy the beans and soak them first. We will come back at noon two days later. You will have almost the same preparations. Don’t sell them at the stalls."
Zhang Xiaobao finished his instructions and planned to leave.
Liu Pan stopped him: "Little brother, where do you live, if you don't come by then, how can we find you?"
"You don't need to find me, I promise. Unless there is a special accident, then I will let someone tell you. Don't worry, I will go in for two hundred guns. I don't care if you want the paperwork. I really don't want to pay for it. , How can you sell things."
Zhang Xiaobao would naturally not be able to leave an address for them, and their identity would be exposed.
After talking, he strolled with Wang Juan and walked out the door. The sky was already dark, and only the crescent moon hung in the sky on the third day of the junior high school, which could not be illuminated at all.
Liu Pan and a group of people sent Zhang Xiaobao out of the house with all kinds of different thoughts, and then followed the two people to the road outside. When they saw the servants who patrolled the street, Fang turned around and went back.
Zhang Xiaobao took out a small flashlight, opened it with a snap, and looked at the ground in front of him, and said complacently, "Thanks to my preparation."
As soon as the voice fell, a flashlight covered the ground in front, and people who emerged from various places guarded him and Wang Juan.
Turning off his flashlight, Zhang Xiaobao chuckled towards Wang Juan: "Thanks to the fact that I prepared a group of guards, the road became brighter when the flashlight signal was sent."
"You just used the flashlight to send a signal?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.
"Absolutely." Zhang Xiaobao nodded solemnly. Under Wang Juan's gaze, he finally couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I actually want to experience the tranquility of the night with you alone, okay. Actually, I don’t want to experience any tranquility. I am more fully prepared for the guards than I am, and give some face to others."
"Who watched it?" Wang Juan asked.
The road suddenly became dark, and there was no gasping around.
"Heavy-bearing training tomorrow." Zhang Xiaobao's angry voice sounded in the night sky.
…
Liu Pan's group sent a few back to each home to report a letter, saying that they were going back later, a torch was lit in the yard, and the rest of the people sat quietly around the two hundred guan qian.
"I'm still dreaming up to now. You said that you should be a good individual and have to spend money to let us buy things without any benefit. What does he think?" Liu Pan seemed to say to others, and seemed to be talking to himself.
Without waiting for others to speak, he said again: "Could it be that spies from other countries broke into the dock in Yizhou and wanted to buy through us. Now let us lower our guard and lead us to rebellion in the end?"
"Brother Liu, don't think about it." Gui Er said, "Where are the spies? Xiaobao, Juanjuan, and Xiaobei are all in Yizhou. They will let the spies live? Didn't you see many outsiders appearing at the dock? They are all intelligence personnel sent by them. At noon today, there were the most. I always feel that they are surrounding us.
I think that person is not bad. Maybe he has money at home and is idle to find something to do. Especially that girl, she knows she is a kind person by looking at her eyes. Maybe she is afraid to see others killing a chicken. Could it be a spy? "
Liu Pan still had difficulty persuading himself. He patted with his hands on his legs neither lightly nor heavily: "The kid said that a few hundred words sell me a set of Datang’s best cosmetics. What is the internal price? The original price is more than 700 tons, you believe. ?"
"Why are you buying cosmetics?" Guier asked, grasping the key point.
"I... I..." Liu Pan was speechless for a while.
"Sister-in-law Guier, do you still have to ask? Of course I bought it for you. Brother Liu is alone. What kind of makeup? The best one. Wait until you use it. I have to ask Brother Zhang Xiaobao. Let him come next time. Get me a set too, buy a few hundred pens for a few hundred words, it's cheap, and give it to my mother-in-law later."
Some people in the crowd spoke loudly, and there was no lack of jokes in the words.
"Go go, make a fool of yourself, Guier, don't listen to him nonsense, I... I just see you..."
"Big Brother Liu, just buy it, just don't be deceived." Gui Er blushed and lowered her head. Fortunately, everyone's face was red when the torch was shining.
The scene was consciously embarrassed, and Liu Pan could not speak.
"Mother, mother, we are back." At this moment, a girl's voice came from outside. As soon as the courtyard gate opened, a girl and a little boy ran in hand in hand.
"It's so lively." The little girl yelled happily when she saw a group of usual uncles and uncles. The little boy also showed excitement, just as crowded.
"Late tonight?" Liu Pan finally found a chance to speak.
"Today, Xiaobei and the others came, and they ate a lot of canned food in the evening, and then Xiaobei and the others sang a song, and it was not a long time until the end. She sent someone to take us outside, and one person gave us three cans and one fish. , Fish in the sea, a lamb chop, and a braised pork."
The little girl said happily, taking the cans out of the schoolbags of two people, three for each person, six in total, and put them in a row.
"It's not easy for Xiaobei and the others to make some money. You still care about what they want. She said it. Their family will never give this money. Their money is of great use." Gui Er said to her child.
The little girl pursed her mouth: "No, someone said it was delicious, so she gave it. She also said that the most correct way to spend money on us is that they don't need to spend money at home."
"Yes, the girl is right." Liu Pan hurriedly protected, pulled the little girl to his side, circled the little girl with an arm, and said: "Give it, remember to study hard, and repay them in the future."
"Father, how do you repay me?" The little boy ran over and asked, leaning on Liu Pan's other side.
Everyone ignored the little boy's address to Liu Pan, and they talked about them one by one. Some said that they would pay back when they learned well, some said they would go to the Ministry of Engineering, and some said they would be teachers in other schools. It's lively again.
Liu Pan concluded: "Anyway, you two should study hard. You will do what you need to do in the future. Don't think that Beckham and the others are stupid and give you things for nothing. They are good to you and want to repay you. Others... He said his name is Zhang Xiaobao?"
Liu Pan, who was educating his children, figured out many things in an instant, and was stunned.
"Brother Liu, what Zhang Xiaobao?" Guier asked.
"Just, it's the two people who came to the house. The man's name is... Zhang Xiaobao." Liu Pan swallowed hard and replied softly.
"Isn't it called Zhang Xiaoyu?"
"Yes, no, I asked him at the beginning. He said his surname was Zhang Xiaobao. I didn’t believe it, so I changed it to Zhang Xiaoyu. When I was eating jelly, Guier, you just said that there were a lot of people on the dock at noon. What about us? He took out two hundred tongs at will and left them alone. He said he had internally priced cosmetics, and he said he could make us rich."
Liu Pan began to summarize everything.
"Big brother, you mean..." a brother of Liu Pan asked, only half of the question could not go on.
Another continued: "Didn't Gui Er's sister-in-law say that the girl's eyes are kind."
Liu Pan nodded: "No wonder his hands are so powerful. It is said that he is very good at hitting. Yes, kind, yes. Of course the cuckoo sees us as kind. Before listening to them, I felt wrong. It's the people's livelihood, and it's the people's.
Oh my God, how big a pie fell and hit us on our heads, hurry, go back to rest immediately, get up tomorrow morning and do as he said, let you buy whatever you want, Guier, we have encountered a great thing. "
"You met. Brother Liu is the lucky person. Did Xiaobao ask you anything else?" Guier's eyes lit up, and she felt the air in the night breathe so comfortable.
Liu Pan hugged the two children vigorously: "You don’t need to ask, Xiaobao guessed it directly, saying that I squatted there to eat, one was to give up my position, which shows that we have a good relationship, one is that we can see you from the side, and you were at that time. The most beautiful, he said I like you, and he said it right, it’s amazing."
"Awesome, big brother is also amazing." Someone started shouting again, but others followed suit.
"Go, a bunch of stinky men, I won't tell you anymore, come girl, let's go back to the house, ignore them, and read well in the evening, but don't be too tired."
Gui Er stood up, pulled her girl and walked into the house.
Liu Pan had only one child by his side, staring his eyes wide: "Go back, and get up early tomorrow. Whoever dares to be lazy, I will take care of them."
"Brother, are you not going home? It's late and the road is dark." A man ran for two steps to the gate of the courtyard and shouted back.
"Back, I'll follow you back to your house." Liu Pan got up to chase, and a group of people laughed and walked out.
"Go, take you into the house, I will come here early tomorrow morning." Liu Pan said to the boy in his arms.
"Father, everyone else has a father. You stay and send my sister and me to school tomorrow, and I will have it too." The little boy is indeed more sensible because he was born in this era.
Liu Pan hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Wait for a few days, wait until you make more money with Xiaobao, then I will send you to school."
…
Two days passed quickly.
While Liu Pan and others were waiting, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came by appointment in the afternoon.
Both of them brought things. Zhang Xiaobao carried two grinding discs in one hand. The grinding discs were not big, one weighing 30 kilograms, and most people were tired from carrying it, so it was no problem for him.
Wang Juan was holding several gears and V-belts, as well as the shaft of the grinding disc.
"It's all here. We'll bring you something. In fact, you can do it yourself. I'm afraid of wasting time. I will make the inner courtyard of my house ready. There are a few more parts, wood. Assemble, the two fine grinders can be stepped on and turned manually."
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao met, he smiled and said.
Wang Juan followed with a smile and said, "Come here with two men, the gears in my hands are heavy, and my eyes are so kind, you are ashamed to get me involved? Be careful that you suddenly become unkind."
The first reaction of Liu Pan and the others was to look around. Sure enough, a man was found waving his hand on a tree more than 30 meters away from the courtyard, and there was a more than 50 meters on the eaves of someone else’s house. With reflection like a mirror, they instantly guessed what it was.
Immediately someone ran up to Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao, held out their hands in a formal manner, and took the things.
"Compared to your children, you are far behind. They will definitely not be afraid of Beckham." Wang Juan said again with a smile.
Liu Pan slapped his thigh vigorously: "Yes, I'm afraid of anything, don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Xiaobao Juanjuan wants to see it in his dreams, who is afraid of whoever is ashamed in his heart, Brother Xiaobao, I didn't expect it to be you that day. I figured it out later, everything was ready, and everything that should be soaked was also soaked, waiting for you to take us to make a fortune."
"Okay, get rich first, and then get married. How can you do it well? It's not Big Brother Liu." Zhang Xiaobao said, clapping his hands on Hui.
"Yes." Liu Pan said firmly.
Then everyone started to get busy, especially the new wooden accessories. They were all ready in an hour, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to assemble.
The two quickly installed two small mills with gears, and then began to let everyone grind the soaked broad beans, mung beans and highland barley.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are responsible for grinding the sesame seeds they brought. The small mill rotates quickly. The sesame seeds are ground into a fine powder, which is a mixture of sesame sauce and sesame oil. It's sesame sauce.
The steamed beancake is also ground into powder and mixed with sesame sauce sesame oil in a certain proportion.
"Xiaobao, are you cheating?" Liu Pan couldn't help asking.
"What's the fake? Soy flour is also delicious, and it contains sesame oil, which is more nutritious than normal sesame sauce. I am reducing the cost while improving the nutrition and taste. How much does it cost to put all sesame sauce? Do you want to try it? , The taste is better, and there is no poison."
Zhang Xiaobao explained.
"What about highland barley?" Liu Pan asked again, highland barley is cheap, very cheap.
"Highland barley also has starch, and it doesn’t taste good because it tastes too slippery, but the jelly is slippery. I want to use rice. It’s too expensive. Who stipulates that the jelly can only be mung beans and broad beans? I will make them in the future. Different jelly can be used as the raw material for whatever is cheap in the local area."
Zhang Xiaobao has to explain, otherwise it is easy to make people suspect that he is cutting corners, information is asymmetry, and of course less money. The principle of jelly is starch molding, and a little bit of alum is added if it is not easy to shape.
Liu Pan smiled like a teacher, looked around, and asked, "Is the jelly we make in the future delicious and cheap?"
"Absolutely, I can lie to you? Yamanashi, boil it, so you don't need to put sugar and vinegar, sour and sweet, why spend so much money." Zhang Xiaobao didn't see the Yamanashi egg, fearing that they would not buy it.
"It's piled up in the backyard. Who knows that it can replace vinegar and sugar, thinking it's for other purposes." Liu Pan waved his hand, and immediately two people ran to the back to carry the pear basket.
Zhang Xiaobao was satisfied and said, "Very good. You will find that the soup cooked with pears is better than the sweet and sour soup. It's not that I said you, you have to use your brains."
"We are not as good as you, no wonder you dare to say that you can earn at least six hundred Guans per day in the trading of integrated docks. It is true. Even if you don't reveal your identity, we believe you can. You are Zhang Xiaobao. We feel that there are less six hundred Guans. , Does not fit your identity."
Liu Pan said very seriously, he is not flattering, the opposite is not someone else, he is a legendary character, is six hundred quinces money for others
"Well, then I have to show my skills. When I did it before, there was a lot of dross, and it was wasted to throw it away. Today I will tell you how to reduce the dross." Zhang Xiaobao calmly accepted the flattery and began to "deep" the raw materials. .
