After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Originally budgeted 2000 yuan to buy clothes, but ended up spending less than 500 yuan.

Jiang Xiaoman asked Jiang Cancan to keep the rest of the money, and told her——

"I heard that the next step is to divide into groups. You should observe carefully these few days to see which players Wei Sheng and his assistant Xiaobai are closer to. If they come to play with you, you don't want to. Don't be restrained, don't be afraid, play with whoever you want."

"But don't spend too much money. When someone invites you to eat cake, you invite others to drink milk tea. In short, to be friends, you have to keep in touch, remember?"

Jiang Cancan's family didn't have any suitable elders to teach her the principles of life, so Jiang Xiaoman, the "big nephew", had no choice but to teach her by herself.

"Yeah! Brother Jiang Xia told me that too. He even bought milk tea for some girls who are willing to play with me." Jiang Cancan nodded.

"What? Someone in the program team doesn't want to play with you?" Jiang Xiaoman keenly grasped the subtext in Jiang Cancan's words, and immediately frowned.

Don't look down on the exclusion between children.

Children look innocent, but in fact, the more this kind of arrogance and contempt from the bottom of their bones, the more hurtful they are.

When Jiang Xiaoman was admitted to the County No. [-] Middle School with the best grades in the township, he was often looked at by people when he first entered school, such as wearing clothes that were too rustic, speaking in a heavy dialect, and being out of gregarious.

Anyway, if a person doesn't like you, he can find 1 shortcomings in you, instead of reflecting on whether he is prejudiced against others.

What Jiang Xiaoman is most afraid of is that the players of the same period will crowd out Jiang Cancan collectively.After all, children who can learn art from elementary school usually have not too bad a family background. In contrast, Jiang Cancan and them are simply not from the same world.

"I don't know, I think they might be angry, because Teacher Xu, Brother Wei Sheng, and other teachers like me very much." Jiang Cancan pouted. She had never encountered this kind of situation before. know how to deal with it.

"But Brother Jiang Xia told me to leave them alone. Anyway, after the group stage, I might not see them anymore."

Jiang Xiaoman: "...that's true!"

Teacher Jiang Xia is really sober in the world!

"Then don't worry about it! Just train hard and keep close to Wei Sheng and Brother Xia."

Because he bought a lot of clothes, Jiang Xiaoman found a post office nearby, sent a parcel directly to the village, sent Jiang Cancan back to the TV station, and went back to the hotel to get his luggage and prepare to go back.

Unexpectedly, before he reached the bus station, he suddenly received a call from Jiang Xia.

"The rock honey you gave Wei Sheng, get me some and send it to me later, and I'll transfer the amount to you."

"You want to drink it yourself? Then I'll bring you some. Our local honey is also very good. That rock honey is too expensive, one hundred and fifty pounds!"

"It's not for me to drink. I plan to buy some as a gift. What is one hundred and fifty catties? Didn't I go to our brother Jiang's birthday party last time? I couldn't find a place to live. A big fan in our group booked a room for me. Good guy! More than 3000 in one night!"

"I gritted my teeth and could afford the money. The problem is that when that guy booked the room, he probably didn't expect that Brother Jiang actually lived in that hotel! The paparazzi are all running to surround the hotel where the birthday party is held. Who can tell?" Thinking that Brother Jiang actually lives in my hotel haha, Brother Jiang and I live upstairs and downstairs! We also ran into each other in the elevator..."

"I owe you a big favor. Buy me six catties of rock honey, and ask for the best! I'll send you the courier address, just send it to her."

Jiang Xiaoman: "..." He probably would not be able to understand the world of groupies and the laws of logic in his whole life.

Just because I ran into the actor in the elevator, did I owe him such a big favor?

That is one hundred and fifty kilograms of high-quality rock honey!

If he knew it earlier, he would have asked for a price of [-], and he could still make a little difference.

Zai Yizai Jiang Xia, this wicked rich man! ! !

After taking the bus to the train all the way, after returning to the county, Jiang Xiaoman found a cheap hotel near the station, put his luggage away, got on the bus and went straight to the wholesale market in the county.

The custom here is to build a new house and treat guests for three consecutive days. On the first day, the immediate family members and hired helpers come over early in the morning to help process the ingredients and prepare things for the next day. The three meals on the first day plus a snack in the afternoon are all prepared by the host.

The next day is the day, the most guests come, and there are a lot of ingredients, tobacco and alcohol to be prepared.On the third day, all the other guests have left, and the rest are basically relatives and friends who came to help, but they only need to prepare a hearty meal at noon, eat and drink enough, and give the rest of the dishes to the relatives and neighbors who came to help One point, this house banquet is over.

On the way back, Jiang Xiaoman took a small notebook and counted all the tobacco, alcohol and ingredients to be used in these three days.

According to the number of relatives, friends and helpers provided by Jiang Youliang, he roughly calculated the things he needed. Today he will ask the price in the county first, and then come to buy it tomorrow. After buying it, he will hire a small truck to transport it back directly, saving money. Come to the county for another trip.

The wholesale market in their county town is a mix of several markets, all kinds of fresh, chilled, and frozen. Jiang Xiaoman strolled all the way here, and he went in and asked about the prices of almost every one, not only the retail price, he also asked After all, he bought a lot, and this time he had to rent a pickup truck to take it back. If the price was right, he planned to buy more and give the school a share.

Unexpectedly, while walking, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in a store.

"Well, are you Lin Mao?"

"Jiang Xiaoman?!" The boy named Lin Mao raised his head, recognized the appearance of the person coming, and immediately jumped up happily.

"I look just like you from a distance, does your family open a shop here?" Jiang Xiaoman happily put his arms around his old classmate's shoulders.

Lin Mao's family is from the county seat, but his family background is average, and he used to belong to the "marginal group" who was not very popular in school.

Back when Jiang Xiaoman had just been admitted to County No. [-] Middle School, he was pushed out by his classmates because of his accent and other reasons. Lin Mao and him were regarded as "sick and sympathetic", and they sat together in the last two rows.

But then Jiang Xiaoman's grades skyrocketed, and he soon became the favorite of teachers in various subjects. He was transferred from the second-to-last row to the second-to-last row. You dress like a beggar, as long as you can get the first place in the school, you can still get the worship of the whole school.

In this way, Jiang Xiaoman, a top student, and Lin Mao, a low-achieving student, went farther and farther during the three years of high school. Later, Jiang Xiaoman went to the key class, and Lin Mao fell to the ordinary class. The two rarely interacted with each other.

I heard that Lin Mao didn't go to university, and after graduation, he went home to help his parents in business. He didn't expect to open a store in the wholesale market. This is much better than his "proletarian"!

"Why did you come to the wholesale market? Buying something for the family?" Lin Mao was also very happy to see his old classmates, especially the top student back then, and ran inside to get him a bottle of iced drink.

"My old house has collapsed, and now the new house has been built. I want to invite people to dinner, so I came here to buy some frozen goods, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. You know, my family lives in the mountains, and these things are too expensive to buy in the town. gone."

"That's for sure! The villages and towns below get the goods from us, and then hire a car to transport them back. In such a hot day, they have to buy and freeze them, and they also need to make money by opening their own shops. Isn't it expensive?" Lin Mao Pointing to the frozen goods displayed in the store, "Choose what you want to buy. The prices outside the wholesale market here are all the same. The government manages it, but the wholesale price can be discussed a little bit. If you want, I will give it to you directly." You have a good wholesale price."

"Yo~ Boss Lin is doing well, can he make his own decisions?" Jiang Xiaoman teased him.

"Where, it's been called online shopping in the past few years. It's not easy to do business offline. The monthly electricity bill for frozen goods is very high. Fortunately, my store has no rent, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to make money, and I have to go inside. For money, there are already three shops selling frozen goods in the market this year." Lin Mao sighed.

"That's true, okay, then I'll buy it at your house, but it's not today, I'll pick it up first, and you will help me get the goods ready at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll find a truck to pull them up and leave."

After drinking the drink, Jiang Xiaoman stood up to leave, but he added Lin Mao's WeChat. "Old classmate, talk back, I still have a lot of things to buy at home."

Lin Mao didn't dare to keep him, but insisted on inviting him to dinner at night, "If you don't go to my house, just the two of us, I'll take you to a small hot pot!"

Jiang Xiaoman nodded, made an appointment with Lin Mao to wait for him in the store at five o'clock, and hurried to buy other things.

Soybean oil in the county town is much cheaper than in the town. Seeing that a barrel of ten catties was only 48 yuan, he asked the boss to order ten barrels in one go, and kept half for his family, and the rest for the school, five barrels of soybean oil, Enough to feed the school for two months.

He ordered four boxes of [-] bags of coarse salt with a wholesale price of [-] cents a bag, and it only cost [-] cents!

I also bought two barrels of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, four barrels of rice vinegar in ten catties, and some dried fungus, white fungus, and dried shrimps for various side dishes. I didn’t have enough garlic at home. If you buy a bag, other households have it, so you don’t need to buy it again.

In the evening, Lin Mao took him to a newly opened small hot pot restaurant near the market. This restaurant just opened and held an event. One person, one pot, unlimited drinks and dishes, and it was only 40 yuan per person.

This kind of cheap hot pot restaurant is very popular in a small county like theirs. Fortunately, they went early, otherwise they would definitely have to wait outside for a long time.

While sitting down and waiting for the food, Lin Mao couldn't help asking about Jiang Xiaoman's current situation.It stands to reason that Jiang Xiaoman should have graduated from university and went out to work now, why is he still at home?If it is said to build a house for the purpose of returning home, that would make sense.

"How can there be a job? Our major is completely out of business this year. I will be unemployed after graduation haha. Now I'm going back to my hometown to start my own business. I plan to sell some agricultural and sideline products and local specialties online." Jiang Xiaoman smiled.

"Open an online store? That's good! In fact, our county can really do some online business. Among other things, it's just the wild mushrooms and various dried goods that come down from the mountains every year, as well as our local honey. Seriously, if you really grow big and want to recruit people, can I follow you?" Lin Mao raised his glass to clink a glass with Jiang Xiaoman, downed half a glass of cold beer in one go, then put down the glass and sighed road--

"Xiao Man, you don't know how difficult it is to do in the wholesale market now, the price war is too fierce, and some people are too lazy to go to the market and place orders directly on the Internet. I have seen it online, and some online stores sell it. It’s cheaper than in our store, and although the quality is not as good as in the store, it’s so convenient! Place an order and have it delivered directly to your home!”

"Then you never thought about opening a store online?" Jiang Xiaoman gave him a sympathetic look. In fact, he also belongs to the kind of people who often pluck their wool on the Internet. There is no way, poor!If you can't make money, it's good to save a dollar.

"Difficult! I've inquired before that express delivery needs to be done in large quantities to be cheap. Otherwise, ordinary express delivery is very heavy, and the express fee alone can scare people to death. And when people open online stores, they usually have their own cold storage. Unlike our wholesale and retail businesses, who rent cold storage from others, the cost is too much to bear.”

"That's fine! If there is a shortage of people at that time, I will call you, but I am afraid that your parents will not agree." Jiang Xiaoman smiled, "I think you are almost getting married, and your uncles and aunts did not force you. Go on a blind date?"

"When you get married, you must live in the county seat. If nothing else, the conditions in the county seat must be better than those in our countryside. If you dare to take your child to the countryside to go to school, I guess uncles and aunts Could break your legs."

"Who said it wasn't? He urged me to go on a blind date all day long!"

With a miserable expression on his face, Lin Mao picked up the wine glass and poured another half glass of cold beer.

Jiang Xiaoman looked at his old classmate sympathetically, and couldn't help but feel glad that his father hasn't urged him to get married yet.

So being poor has its advantages, because the family is too poor, and his father knew the current conditions in the family, and no one on a blind date wanted to marry, so he simply gave up urging the marriage.

What's the use of urging?It's not that they are in a hurry, the girl is willing to marry.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoman was full of gratitude to the poor family for the first time!

Really, he didn't want to marry at all!

Compared with getting married and having children, he wants to get rich overnight...
