Chapter 12 The Soy Sauce Man
Chapter 12 The Soy Sauce Man
“I’m selling soy sauce, I’m selling soy sauce.” Jin Changzhu carried a load of soy sauce and went to Xiaofeng Village, which is the farthest away from Jinshui Village.
Xiaofeng Village has many households, with a total of one or two hundred households in each village, making it a large village.
“Oh, soy sauce is also sold door-to-door now. I happen to have no soy sauce at home. How can I sell it?” A woman poked her head out of the kitchen and asked Jin Changzhu.
Jin Changzhu looked uncomfortable as he listened to the other party's question, and his reaction was a beat slow: "One funnel is three cents, two funnels are fifty cents."
“It’s the same as the soy sauce in the store.” After listening to Jin Changzhu’s words, the woman had already come out of the kitchen to see the soy sauce.
"You smell it, it's the same, and it's fresh. It was just pulled from the factory yesterday." Jin Changzhu opened the lid of the bucket and let the woman check.
“It looks good, I want two funnels.” It’s all soy sauce. Buying it there instead of buying it will save you time when you don’t have any soy sauce at home and have to go all the way to buy it.
"Oh, good." Jin Changzhu didn't expect that there would be business when he entered the village, so he was overjoyed. At the end, he gave the woman a little more. The woman was very satisfied and happily paid 50 cents.
In Jin Changzhu's view, this was a good start, which quickly increased his confidence.
After collecting the money, he started shouting again: "I'm selling soy sauce, thirty cents for one funnel, fifty cents for two funnels."
In Tongye Village, Hu Dong was carrying a load of soy sauce and did not want to enter the village.
It's shameful, it's shameful. He thought he had gotten to this point. He never thought that one day he would get to the point where he went to the countryside to sell soy sauce.
“Uncle, I believe you can sell better than my father.” Jin Yao’s sharp words rang in his ears, and he gritted his teeth and got up, carrying a load of red barrels into the village.
Mom, even if it’s just to make Yaoyao look at him, he’s going to give it a try.
If you don’t just sell soy sauce, who is afraid of you?
“We are selling soy sauce. Fragrant and fresh soy sauce, priced at 30 cents per funnel, 50 cents per funnel, everyone, come quickly.” Hu Dong started shouting loudly as soon as he entered the village.
"It's really a soy sauce seller. It's really fresh. Now soy sauce is also sold door-to-door. Let's go and have a look." Several men were coming back from the fields. When they saw Hu Dong, they stepped forward out of curiosity.
“Brother, look at how fresh it is, would you like some?”
“It looks pretty good, why don’t you go to my door and let my mother-in-law see if she wants some.” The man seemed unable to make up his mind.
“Okay, wherever your home is, I’ll go with you.”
“Right ahead.”
“I’m selling soy sauce, I’m selling soy sauce.” Hu Dong shouted while following the other person. His shouting was very rhythmic and attracted the attention of many people.
“Seller of soy sauce, bring me two funnels.”
“My house is gone too, here are two funnels.”
"It will take a few days to buy it at my house. Seller of soy sauce, will you come over in a few days?" "Come, come." Hu Dong was busy helping everyone pack the soy sauce and replying to everyone, with a smile on his face. Ears from ear to ear.
I never expected that selling soy sauce would be so popular.
Before lunch time, the load of soy sauce was empty. Hu Dong whistled and hummed and happily rushed home carrying a load of empty buckets.
I saw my brother-in-law at the entrance of the village and saw that his bucket was empty.
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, how are you?” Hu Dong chased after him.
Jin Changzhu smiled so brightly that he could see his eight teeth: "Dongzi, your idea this time is quite good. Look, all of them were sold out in less than one noon."
“Mine is also sold out.” Hu Dong felt even better after being praised by his eldest brother.
The two brothers went to their own houses one after the other.
Hearing that they were coming back, Hu Xiuying's heart was in her throat: "How are you, Changzhu? Is there any business? I'm very worried at noon."
“Sold out.” Jin Changzhu grinned.
“All sold out?” Hu Xiuying didn’t believe it and wanted to get up and come down to take a look.
“Sister, look at you, I still don’t believe it. There is nothing wrong with the business I chose. It’s just that I’m more tired and I earn less. No matter how much it’s money, it’s not.”
Hu Xiuying finally felt relieved when she heard that everything was sold out: "Thank God, it's good if it's sold out."
“Brother-in-law, take out your money and see how much money we two brothers earned this noon.” Hu Dong didn’t want to tell Hu Xiuying more, he just wanted to count the money he earned today.
Most of them are 50-cent bills, but there are also 10-20 cent bills.
Seeing her uncle counting the money neatly, Jin Yao's lips curled up slightly. They were sold out faster than she expected.
"Haha, a full fifty yuan." Hu Dong slapped his thigh, fifty yuan, which is close to half a month's salary of his eldest brother.
“Fifty yuan?” Hu Xiuying was dumbfounded, not expecting so much.
“Brother-in-law, come here, these twenty yuan are yours.” After counting the money, Hu Dong immediately paid his brother-in-law his salary.
Jin Changzhu was a little embarrassed, holding it in his hand and smiling honestly.
“If the soy sauce sells well, I’ll buy more tomorrow and travel more around the country.” Hu Xiuying’s mood has improved a lot. It’s good if she can make money.
“It’s time to eat, let’s eat first.”
"Yes, let's eat first. After dinner, Yaoyao and I will go to the county. This time I will buy another 200 kilograms of soy sauce." Hu Dong set a goal.
Jin Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, his uncle was indeed a man of action.
