The next day, Cai Anan woke Zhou Jin up early. The two of them went out without eating. Zhou Jin was afraid that his wife would starve, so he took a biscuit from the kitchen and put it in his arms.
When they arrived at the field, they only picked up seven or eight pears. These pears could only be sold for a little more than ten cents. They were still far from Cai Anan's goal!
It was not a problem for Cai Anan if her pears were gone. She could go to other people's houses to look for them!
Cai Anan remembered that there were a few pear trees in the nearby village. The Host had stolen pears with her friends when she was young. She wanted to take Zhou Jin to the neighboring village to try her luck.
When Zhou Jin heard that they were going to the neighboring village to pick up pears, she danced happily. They went to Li Village first, which was adjacent to Zhou Village. Following the original owner's vague memory, she found a few pear trees.
There was a woman weeding under the pear tree. Cai Anan had a sweet mouth and rushed over to call her sister-in-law. When the conversation was heated, she asked if she still wanted the pear that had fallen on the ground.
"This pear can't be eaten. Why would I want it? If you want it, just pick it up!”The woman was very straightforward. She thought that Cai An 'an was going to feed the pigs. Anyway, the pear would rot in the field, so she might as well give it a favor.
Cai Anan was very happy. The pears on the ground were money in her eyes!
She and Zhou Jin quickly picked up the pears on the ground. She roughly counted them. There were about a hundred!
In order to avoid future disputes, Cai Anan did not take the woman's pears for nothing. She insisted on giving her a dime. The woman refused for a long time, but in the end, she accepted it.
What was the difference between something that was originally thrown away and being sold for a dime? The woman was happy and told Cai Anan that she knew a few families who planted pear trees and could introduce them to her.
Cai An 'an thanked her and told her that she would come back tomorrow at this time. If anyone in the village needed pears, they could just come and look for her.
After settling this matter, Cai Anan and Zhou Jin carried a basket of pears and left. She had to hurry home to cook the pears. She could not delay the afternoon business!
Without any means of transportation, it was almost noon when the two of them carried the basket of pears home. Cai Anan's hand was about to break.
Zhou Jin saw that his wife's fair and tender hands were red and swollen from being strangled. He helped her blow gently. The man's fingers were a little rough, tickling her heart.
When Xue Guixiang saw Cai Anan bring back such a big basket of pears, she was surprised and pleasantly surprised. Her daughter-in-law was so capable, which was beyond her expectations.
After the family had lunch, Cai Anan asked Xue Guixiang to help cook the pears. This time, there were many pears of different sizes. She divided the pears into different sizes and put them into two baskets.
When she was distributing the pears, she counted them. There were a total of 110 pears!
With so many pears, she had to leave early. She had to sell them not only after school, but also between classes to ensure that all the pears were sold out.
Before going out, Cai An 'an asked Xue Guixiang to borrow a platoon cart from the village. She had a hunch that she would be able to collect a lot of pears from Li Village tomorrow. It was impossible for her and Zhou Jin to carry them back with their hands!
Cai An 'an and Zhou Jin came to school with two baskets full of pears. The pears were steaming hot, and the sweetness rushed to their noses. They were surrounded by a group of children as soon as they stood firm.
These children had asked their parents for pocket money this morning and were waiting to buy her pears.
"I want one!"
"I want to buy one too!" The children fought to be the first to shout.
Cai Anan smiled and said," Don't worry. The pears today are different from yesterday's. There are big ones and small ones. The small ones are two cents each, and the big ones are three cents. Do you want to buy the big ones or the small ones?”
The children had no idea what to do. The big pear was fragrant and soft, and the skin would break at the touch of it. The sweet juice inside was about to overflow. Who could resist such a temptation?
"It's a good deal to buy a big pear. Look, one big pear is worth two. If you don't buy it today, it will rise to four cents tomorrow.”
"Take a look, take a look. The big pear tastes sweet. If you don't buy it, you'll regret it immediately!”
Cai Anan rolled her eyes in her heart. Before she was reborn, she was the sole agent of the world's largest coffee shop. She had negotiated deals worth millions, but now she was spitting saliva and lying to a child for a penny!
"I'll buy a big one." A senior child came over and bought a big pear.
When the child saw his older brother buy big pears, he also took out money to buy big pears. In a short while, the basket of big pears was snatched away by a swarm of bees.
The basket of pears was quickly sold out. Zhou Jin ran home to fill it up again. He sold all the pears before school ended.
There were 40 big pears and 70 small pears. They sold for a total of 2.60 yuan. After deducting the capital, her basket of pears made a net profit of 2.50 yuan. In the rural areas that were closed in 1980, this was definitely a huge profit.
When they got home, Xue Guixiang had already borrowed the platoon cart. Cai Anan was going to harvest a large number of pears tomorrow, so she naturally wanted to sell them well.
It was definitely not possible to rely solely on the village school. The purchasing power of children was limited, so she had to broaden her horizons. What if he distributed these pears to other village primary schools to sell? This was a feasible method, but this operation required more manpower and resources. She could not handle it alone.
It was impossible to hire someone, as she would be poached very quickly. She wanted to make a quick buck for a few days while no one found out. By the time others found out, she would have made enough money. Imitation was possible, but it would never surpass it.
It would be best to focus on purchasing, then focus on selling, and shift to a market with more spending power. Currently, the most prosperous market she could come into contact with was the county town. The county town was ten miles away from the Zhou family residence. It was difficult to buy, process, and sell in the afternoon. It was hard work, but it could also obtain the greatest profit.
Cai Anan was full of energy. Xue Guixiang did not say anything else. She felt that her daughter-in-law might really earn enough money to pay off her debts. However, her heart ached for her daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law was only eighteen years old, only one year older than Yuan Yuan, but she was so hardworking. If she had not married into this poor family, she would not have to suffer like this.
Sigh, thinking of this, Xue Guixiang sped up the speed of making shoes. She couldn't help much, so she could only try her best to be good to her daughter-in-law.
When Cai Anan woke up the next day, she saw a new pair of shoes by her bed. The shoes had a red base and white snowflake velvet soles. They were thick and had fine stitches. They looked very pleasing to the eye. Her mother-in-law must have put them in while she was asleep.
"Anan, try on the shoes.”Xue Guixiang's honest voice sounded.
"Hey!"
Cai Anan put on the new shoes and stepped on the ground a few times. They were neither too big nor too small. They were both airy and practical. They were much more comfortable than the leather shoes of the future. With these shoes, she would not be afraid of getting tired no matter how many steps she walked!
She wore her new shoes and went out. Xue Guixiang asked her if she was okay, and her heart warmed."Mom, I'm fine."
Zhou Jin also chuckled. The two of them smiled face to face like a pair of clowns.
After breakfast, the two of them hurriedly pushed the cart out.
"Wife, come up. I'll push you.”Zhou Jin was afraid that his wife's new shoes would get dirty, so he let her sit in the car.
