Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Agency point?

This is great.

The commune members were very happy. In the past, there was no sales agency in the village. If they wanted to sell eggs, they had to go to the commune. They also had to go to the commune to buy things. Although it was not far, it was still a waste of time. Especially when there is no salt and matches for cooking, it is impossible to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them temporarily, so you can only borrow them from your neighbors.

If this is available in your own village, you can buy it anytime if you need it. It’s just a few steps away and it’s no trouble at all.

Accountant Liu, Captain Gu and Xia Mingshuang had discussed that she worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, so it would be convenient for the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver soy sauce, vinegar and the like. If there were too many eggs sold by the villagers, Xia Mingshuang would have someone send them to the supply and marketing cooperative to complete the task. .

Of course, it will be convenient for Xia Mingshuang to eat eggs at home in the future, as he no longer has to buy them secretly from others.

Now people bring it here openly and you can eat whatever you want as long as you pay for it.

The members held a meeting, and Xia Mingshuang also applied to the leaders at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Director Gao naturally agreed. This sales agency belongs to the supply and marketing cooperative, but does not need the supply and marketing cooperative to pay employees. How great.

That afternoon, Xia Mingshuang put in the goods that should be brought in and asked Zhong Lian to drive them over.

She goes to the supply and marketing cooperative on her way to and from get off work, so she doesn’t need to stock up on any goods.

Liquids such as soy sauce, vinegar, and kerosene are directly packed in plastic barrels, which are tightly sealed and will not lose their smell.

Everything else is fine.

When Xia Mingshuang and Zhong Lian came over, the children had already finished school. Gu Nianjun and Da Zhuang didn't need Xia Mingshuang to do anything. They helped Zhong Lian move in and arrange everything.

Consignment points generally sell daily necessities needed by commune members, mainly soy sauce, vinegar, matches, salt, kerosene, needles, threads, pencil books, clam oil, mouth oil, balsam, etc., such as more expensive cream, cigarettes that require tickets, For brown sugar, white sugar, wine, fabrics, etc., whoever has the ticket needs to tell them in advance, and Xia Mingshuang will help them bring it, so there is no need to come in and leave it at home.

For these few things, there is no need to prepare the room. A wooden shelf can be placed directly.

There is no need for sales agents, as long as there are people at home who need something, they can just come and buy it.

It is estimated that most of the time I have to rely on a few children as sales agents, and they have the most time.

While they were busy, Guixiang's mother-in-law brought some eggs over and said, "Oh, I'm about to cook sweet potatoes. There are no matches at home. Please bring me two boxes of matches."

Xia Mingshuang and Zhong Lian were checking accounts in the room. They didn't hear Er Zhuang greeting them warmly outside.

Erzhuang: "Nai, it costs you four cents to buy two boxes of matches, and one cent for an egg. Why don't you just buy a pack of ten boxes of matches, three eggs are enough."

The old woman's brain was not that bright and she couldn't figure it out. "An egg costs five cents, a box of matches costs two cents. This..."

Erzhuang's little mouth piped up to her and said, "Nai, you partner with the neighbor. You can buy matches this time, and he can buy them next time."

If a family buys ten boxes of matches, they may be worried about the return of tide, so just buy them together.

He thinks more about his grandparents and makes less money from them.

The old woman was happy when she heard it and said, "Yes, this is suitable, just buy it like this."

She bought one pack and took it home, leaving two boxes at home and two boxes for each of her neighbors. When she ran out, the next neighbor would be responsible for coming over to exchange the matches for distribution.

She took a pack of matches and left happily.

Soon someone came to buy salt and soy sauce.

The soy sauce is made by the weight, two and a half. If you are reluctant to make a pound, one pound is enough.

Anyway, it’s close, so you can buy it anytime.

Soy sauce is sold in large quantities, so it comes in a large-mouth plastic bucket. You can unscrew it and measure it directly with a jug.

Vinegar and wine are both packed in small-mouth plastic buckets to avoid losing their smell.

Erzhuang was quick with his hands and feet, and he was quick at calculating accounts. He quickly served a group of people who came to buy things, and he even remembered the account books clearly.

When Xia Mingshuang saw the accounts, it was clear at a glance that this guy was really smart when it came to money.

She said to Erzhuang: "You are responsible for selling goods at the consignment point, and you will be paid ten cents a day."

She thought that people like Gu Jialing only came here to buy things a few times a day, and they didn't even know if they could make a dime.

Erzhuang didn't care whether the dime was more or less, he felt that the symbolism was more significant. This was his salary!

After checking the accounts three days later, Xia Mingshuang found that the items sold at the consignment point were actually sold very quickly.

In just three days, I sold a dozen chilblain ointments, twenty clam oils, and twenty tubes of mouth oil. I also sold seven boxes of balsam, four bottles of snowflake ointment, and someone ordered fabrics.

Chilblain ointment and balm cost nearly [-] cents a box, clam oil and mouth oil cost [-] cents, and snowflake ointment costs [-] cents a bottle. You can buy it in bulk when you use it up.

After dinner, Xia Mingshuang checked with Er Zhuang, "When did you sell so much? Didn't you take it to school to fool teachers and classmates?"

Erzhuang: "..." Mom is so awesome!

He said: "Mom, it's not my fault. No one in the village sells it, and everyone doesn't use it. Now we sell it, and someone buys it and tries it, and finds it useful. Then the neighbors get jealous when they see it, and they also buy it. Come and give it a try. Why don’t you buy the expensive one? The dime one will last your whole family a month.”

As for those who buy balm and cream, it is naturally the young and wealthy young wives and eldest daughters.

Zhao Peihong and Gu Heping's wife came over and bought cream, balm, chilblain cream and clam oil.

Now they are working very steadily as part-time workers at the train station. Except for two days of farm work that they have to work at home, they can work at other times to make money.

Other temporary workers can work for at most ten days a month, or three to five months a year, but they work for at least ten months a year.

Fifty-five cents a day is a lot of money.

Anyway, they are not short of money in the countryside, so they are naturally willing to buy things.

In addition, Captain Gu, Accountant Liu, Aunt Guixiang and others came to buy. Ding Daijin also came to buy balsam and clam oil.

Those who have eggs at home can exchange them for eggs, and those who don’t want to part with eggs can use money to buy them.

Seeing the business opportunity, Erzhuang took some to the school to sell to the teachers in the past two days. Several female teachers and young male teachers bought it. Who should buy it? The price sold by Erzhuang is the same as that of the supply and marketing cooperative, so they don't have to run errands in the cold weather and endure the cold.

When the educated youth in the brigade heard about it, they also went to the school to find Erzhuang to buy clam oil, balsam and other things. There was also an educated youth who ordered fabrics from him. They agreed on what kind of texture, what kind of material, and how many feet they wanted. When she came back, she took the cloth ticket with her. Come and get the money.

Xia Mingshuang looked at the accounts and then at Er Zhuang, and asked suspiciously, "Did you skip class?"

Erzhuang immediately raised his hand and swore, "Mom, are you looking down on me too much? I don't have enough time to sell just this little thing during class and after school."

If his mother hadn't said that country people are too hard-working and it's hard to get money, he really wants to raise the price, so giving him one or two cents for running errands isn't too much, right?

He didn't increase the price because he liked selling things. He always felt that he had a sense of accomplishment every time he got back a penny from an item he sold.

Of course, he was embarrassed to tell his eldest brother and the others, for fear that they would laugh at him.
