Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Chapter 258: Shopping Mall Sales 2 (Additional Chapter)

Customers came in waves. There was no business at the moment, so Zhang Xiuhua talked with Li Jianguo about the land division.

"Someone came down to measure the land, and I think we'll be dividing the land soon. There are eight people in my family, so we can get at least 100 acres. I can't farm this much land by myself."

Not to mention Zhang Xiuhua, even Li Jianguo can't do it alone. Even if she bought a tractor, it wouldn't work. Unless all the planting, tilling, spraying and harvesting were done by machines, but the current agricultural level is not up to standard at all.

Li Jianguo was also worried, "What should we do?"

"How about we get some woodland?" Zhang Xiuhua expressed an idea that she had been thinking about for some time.

After hearing this, Li Jianguo thought it was feasible. "We can have forest land, but what should we plant? Plant pine trees? If they grow pine nuts, you won't be able to pick them!"

To get pine nuts, you have to climb a tree, and Xiuhua can't do it at that height.

"Instead of planting pine trees, plant blueberries." Zhang Xiuhua looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Blueberry? Isn't that a wild fruit?" Li Jianguo knew that there was a wild blueberry tree in his own private plot, but its fruits were too small and very sour. It was not cost-effective to grow it, right? !

"Yes! Blueberries, if you make them into preserved fruits, they will sell very well." What's even better is that blueberries are easy to carry when made into preserved fruits. After she makes them, he can take them to the capital by train, saving even the shipping costs. There is a market for this thing.

Li Jianguo thought about it carefully and it was feasible. He nodded and said, "Okay. But I think we can consider planting improved varieties from abroad. Wild blueberries are too sour."

"Okay! Go ask your comrades later to see if there are any blueberries suitable for our northern region."

After talking about planting trees, Li Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "We can plant blueberries in the forest land, and we can plant soybeans in the extra fields."

Soybeans are easy to plant, but if you want to plant corn or peanuts, you have to divide the fields into ridges and dig holes one by one to plant the seeds, which is too troublesome. Wheat has a low yield, so it is better not to plant it. As for vegetables? Leaving one acre of land is enough for their family to eat and drink.

Zhang Xiuhua thinks that instead of growing soybeans, "it's better to grow vegetables. We can grow two crops a year, while we can only grow one crop a year for crops. Besides, my sister-in-law is in this business, so we don't have to worry about not being able to sell the vegetables."

Li Jianguo thought about it carefully and it made sense, but he was a little worried, "I don't know if there are any restrictions on farming. Can I just grow vegetables?"

Zhang Xiuhua wasn't sure either, after all, the land hadn't even been divided yet.

While they were chatting, a customer came over. Zhang Xiuhua stopped the conversation and took the initiative to introduce herself to the customer.

Compared with other salespeople, Zhang Xiuhua's attitude was enthusiastic and meticulous. She not only taught them how to match clothes, but also helped them adjust their clothes. She was very sweet on the lips. People at that time were very shy and felt very proud to be praised. In addition, the clothes were not expensive, so they really paid for them.

By night, the mall was closed.

At this time, state-owned shopping malls will close at a certain time. They will not be open until after 10 o'clock in the evening like private shopping malls.

It was past five in the evening, and it was still dark. The family of three returned to their rental place carrying the goods.

Youcai and his two companions were waiting in the store. Maybe they were too bored, so they hung out the clothes and laid out the fabrics.

Because they didn't know how to match the fabrics, the sales were not very good. They only sold seven feet of fabric and only two pieces of clothing.

However, they did gain a lot from going to the Children's Palace. All 30 pairs of leggings were sold.

But it wasn’t Youcai who sold it, it was Yaoyao.

Zhang Xiuhua was a little flattered, because Yaoyao has always been very introverted. Youcai and the other two went out together, and Youcai acted as a lobbyist, while Jilin and Yaoyao were responsible for helping him. She didn't expect that she could actually sell it.

Youcai scratched his head and said, "It's not appropriate for a man like me to sell women's pants. Only when Yaoyao went there, someone would receive her."

It turned out that it was because of her gender. Zhang Xiuhua asked Yaoyao how she sold her products.

It was also Yaoyao's first time selling something. When she talked about this, her face was excited. "I asked them how much the leggings cost. They said they had saved up cloth coupons with great difficulty, and the price was the same as mine. I said I didn't need cloth coupons. So the boss bought it for me."

Zhang Xiuhua gave her a thumbs up and said, "Inquire first and then sell. Your idea is really good!"

It was getting late and everyone was hungry, so Zhang Xiuhua asked them to go to the restaurant next door to order dumplings while she packed everything and went over.

The children all ran to order food, while Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were sorting the goods.

The landlord who rented her house was also preparing his own vegetables, and he chatted with Zhang Xiuhua, "Did you really bring this stuff from the south?"

"Yes. I took the children to the south to do some work. I saw there were many factories there, so I brought some goods back to sell. Once they were sold, that was it." Although doing business can make a lot of money, and many people even start their careers through business, Zhang Xiuhua still doesn't plan to do business. In her previous life, she was too obsessed with making money, so she ignored the education of her children.

Jilin and Zhuzhu were still young, and it was the easiest time for them to be led astray. She stayed at home and would not let them grow up astray. As for making money? In addition to doing business, raising a chicken farm could also make money.

All roads lead to Rome. Even if the chicken farm doesn't make as much money as setting up a street stall, at least she has made money from both, so there is nothing to regret.

The landlord asked curiously, "I see that digital watches are selling very well. How much do they cost?"

How could Zhang Xiuhua tell others about her family's money-making method? No matter how stupid she was, she would not say it out loud. She just laughed it off and said, "It's quite expensive. Add to that the 70 or 80 yuan bus fare. I can only make back the bus fare for the children. If there is any leftovers, I will still lose money."

In short, you must cry poor and not make others jealous.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "If I didn't have something to do in the south, I wouldn't bother. It would be great to sell vegetables here like you. The vegetables will be delivered to your door, and you don't have to go out to get them yourself."

The landlord was jealous of Zhang Xiuhua's good business at first, but after hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. However, he still tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that were curled up, "We just make a profit from the price difference. The bulk of the money goes to your sister-in-law."

Zhang Xiuhua pretended to curl her lips in disdain, "What does she earn? She has to work day and night, in the wind and sun, to deliver goods from the countryside to the city, and she also has to pay for gas. It's better for you to stay indoors, out of the sun and wind, and just wait for customers to come."

The two of them were bragging about their business, and the talented man on the other side shouted in a loud voice, "Dad, Aunt Zhang, the dumplings are ready!"

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo also sorted out the goods, asked the landlord to help watch over the goods, and then went to eat.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Youcai whispered to Zhang Xiuhua that it turned out that the landlord not only asked Zhang Xiuhua, but also asked Youcai and a few others.

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that they would hear her, so she winked at him and said with a smile, "I'm just curious. Just like I'm curious about how much money your aunt makes. Well, it's not easy to make money. Look how hard your aunt works."

Youcai didn't understand Zhang Xiuhua's expression at first. He was still muttering in his heart: Isn't it profitable for Auntie Zhang to deliver vegetables to the city? Why did Auntie Zhang say that it's not profitable anymore?

Zhuzhu was smart and answered first, "Yes. Auntie earns her money through hard work."

After dinner, the family took the last bus back to the commune.

After arriving at the commune, I had to walk home.

Youcai finally had time to chat with Zhang Xiuhua, "Aunt Zhang, is that landlord trying to steal our business?"

"He is jealous of our electronic watches. He also wants to get a piece of the pie." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "You can't tell others about your profitable business. You have to keep it a secret to make a fortune. Otherwise, when he sees the money we make, he will come back and get a batch of electronic watches from Yangcheng and stop renting our shop. He will also steal our business and start a price war with us. So it is in our best interest to keep it to ourselves."

Talented and thoughtful.

When they got home, it was completely dark. Zhuzhu was tired after a whole day and fell asleep halfway. Li Jianguo carried her back.
