In the village.
Bingzi was standing next to a light blue Wuzheng light truck, smoking. The hired workers were weighing bags of dates, keeping accounts, paying the bills, and emptying the dates into the truck.
He saw Li Shu coming from behind, and Lian smiled and walked through the crowd to meet him.
The roads in the jujube field are narrow and vehicles cannot enter, so Jing has to rely on Boss Jing to push out bags of jujubes with a cart.
However, there was still plenty of time, because the dates from the previous stores had not been weighed yet, and it would take some time for them all to be weighed. Dozens of bags of dates were piled into piles, and piles of dates were piled aside.
"Ashu, let me give your jujubes a proper name first." Bingzi said.
"No, no, just wait in line." Li Shu declined. He was not in a hurry to go home and there was no need to jump in line. Besides, he was surrounded by fellow villagers. Even if he didn't say it, others would definitely scold him if he jumped in line.
Of course, Li Shu doesn't care so much whether others scold him or not, but it's just not necessary.
The two went to chat under the willow tree nearby. They said that Zhang Jinlian's cousin "Sun Han" would be responsible for the money. Bingzi waved to his cousin "Xu Ling" and gave him 50 yuan to buy two packs of cigarettes. The remaining to buy popsicles.
It was approaching noon, and the sun was so hot that oil appeared on people's faces.
Grandma, the little girl, the big orange cat, the white squirrel, and the thrush went home. Grandpa stood not far away chatting with a few old men. The big yellow dog ran around among the crowd, occasionally raising its legs to nuzzle at the base of the telephone pole. Some water.
Looking at Xu Ling running away, Li Shu smiled and said: "What kind of cousin is this? Is he an adult?".
Bingzi has a resolute face and a tall stature. He wears short sleeves and has bulging tendons on his arms.
"I'm just 18 years old this year. He's my uncle's cousin." Bingzi saw Xu Ling running into the canteen: "But his child is already two years old, and he has been married for three years."
"Ahem~" Li Shu almost choked on his own saliva. He looked at Bingzi in shock, and the serious expression on his face told him that he was not joking.
"I am 18 years old this year and have been married for three years. Did I get married when I was 15 years old? So young? And how could such a small Civil Affairs Bureau issue a marriage certificate!?" Li Shu said.
"There is no marriage certificate." Bingzi said with a smile: "Don't look at this boy. He is gentle and quiet. He seems to be quite shy, but it is just a disguise. He is a big scumbag. When he was in the third grade of junior high school, two girls came to him. Fighting over being his girlfriend.
In the second half of the third year of junior high school, a girl got pregnant. The girl wanted to marry him. The girl's family had no choice but finally agreed to the marriage, held a banquet, and planned to get a certificate when she was old enough. ".
Li Shu was slightly silent. The branches of the willow tree behind him were swaying in the hot wind. There were many sparrows singing in the trees. He asked curiously: "Then his current wife is one of the two girls who fought back then?"
"No!" Bingzi said.
"Niubi 666~" Li Shu didn't know what to say anymore.
"Hey, several years have passed, and a lot of things have changed." Bingzi lamented: "His wife originally wanted to marry him, but now she thinks he makes less money and is thinking about divorce. Without a certificate, he is not legally married, and he My wife is only 18 years old, so getting married will be very easy.
But now in the Cold War, we haven't really divorced yet. Now I am helping him make some money. Who knows if he can win back his wife. ".
Li Shudao: "I got married too early and I didn't think about many things clearly."
Xu Ling ran back from a distance, and the two stopped talking about Xu Ling.
"Brother, I bought two boxes of cigarettes and 20 popsicles...Brother Li Shu, eat some popsicles!"
"Thank you." Li Shu was not polite, took an old popsicle, tore open the package, took a bite and held it in his mouth. There was a little bit of sweetness in the coldness.
The old popsicles are rectangular in shape, milky white, and seem to be frozen directly from sugar water. There is no cream, chocolate or other things.
In the summer of 2018, popsicles were still available for 50 cents each, which Li Shu thought was quite rare.
Bingzi took the cigarette and put it in his pocket, took an old popsicle himself, and then asked Xu Ling to distribute the popsicles to the villagers, who ran to distribute the popsicles.
Most of the people who received the popsicles looked at the soldiers gratefully.
"I didn't ask you before, how did you and Zhang Jinlian come up with the idea of doing live streaming? Do you want to do it together as a team?" Li Shu asked.
"Um... The opportunity came when a dozen of us boys went on a blind date at Zhang Jinlian's house on the Chinese New Year day. Then Zhang Jinlian and his grandfather gave an emotional speech, about "cherishing the present" and "living every day well" and so on. " .
Bingzi said: "That day I took a video and posted it on DouLe. Unexpectedly, after a while, the video became surprisingly popular, and now it has 4 million likes!
I captured Zhang Jinlian in that video, and there were so many people praising her beauty in the comments, and some people bet that she would start a live broadcast soon.
At that time, I thought that this was also an opportunity. Instead of earning a salary of two to three thousand, I might as well work hard. I am afraid my life will change from now on. If the hard work fails, I will go back to work. ".
Li Shu couldn't help but nodded.
The two were chatting casually. Boss Jing had already brought all the dates back and was also queuing up.
Li Shu watched as a cart of dates was filled, then a light truck pulled them away, and another light truck came to continue loading.
"Do I need to sort these dates before selling them?" Li Shu asked.
"It needs to be sorted." Bingzi said: "I found an open space in the south of our village, put up a shelf and covered it with a tarpaulin, and asked workers to sort and pack the boxes inside.
It is expected that about 20% of the bad and small dates will be picked out. These small dates will be sold to county date factories. They will probably want them at a cheaper price.
Last night, I sold more than 1 million yuan and over 300,000 kilograms of dates. In order to build a good reputation, I plan to buy one kilogram of dates and give him 1 kilogram and 1 tael. If I buy 2 kilograms, I will give him 2 kilograms and 2 taels.
In this way, even if some of the dates are overripe and spoiled during transportation after arrival, throw away the spoiled ones, and the remaining dates will still be enough. Jin Lian also said during the live broadcast that he would send out more. ".
After a slight pause, Bingzi continued: "This year, the county date factory collects dates at a price of 8 cents per catty. We collect them at a price of 1 yuan per catty. Our price advantage is huge. It can be said that there is no shortage of dates."
Li Shu's pupils shrank: "You just said that you sold more than 300,000 yuan of dates last night, with a turnover of more than 1 million yuan, so the average price is about 3.3 yuan per catty.
Now the price is 1 yuan per catty, and the price difference is 2.3 yuan. How much can you earn after excluding other costs? ".
"The cost is the 20% of the low-quality dates I just mentioned. If the county date factory is willing to collect those dates at a price of 3 cents per catty, I will be satisfied.
Then there are labor costs, express delivery fees, sending more dates, etc.
I can earn an average of 1.1 yuan per kilogram of these dates, so I am satisfied. It is estimated that the profit is about 33% of the turnover. "Bingzi said.
Li Shuwei was stunned: "33% of the turnover? If you sell more than 1 million yuan in one night, you will make 330,000 yuan in that night, and you will be rich immediately!"
"Hehe, we only sell dates for a few days, and there is no such a big turnover when selling anything else." Bingzi said with a smile, his face almost turned into a morning glory.
