Jia Yi raised his head and took a look.

"Grandma He, it's you..."

"Xiao Yi, I have come to see you several times."

"Oh, Grandma He, what do you want to see me for?"

"Oh, you're not the old man in my family. All the people who have been short of food and clothing for decades have come here. He's getting old. He can eat well, but he has a loss of appetite and can't eat anymore. I didn't expect that the old man ate the loofah you gave me.

It's very sweet, and my appetite is much better now...I just want to..."

Grandma He suddenly felt a little embarrassed as she spoke.

"Since grandpa likes to eat, I still have some dishes here... Just wait, I will bring them to you."

With that said, Jia Yi came in and picked up a ten-pound winter melon and put five loofahs in the bag.

Last time, we planted an acre of winter melon and luffa, and harvested several thousand kilograms, and now they are all piled up in the warehouse.

"Grandma He, I'll give you this winter melon too. I believe grandpa will be fine soon."

"Well, thank you, Xiao Yi. Let's do this. I'll buy these dishes with my money..."

"No, Grandma He, you helped me do such a big deal last time. I haven't thanked you yet."

Jia Yi quickly interrupted.

Seeing that Jia Yi insisted on not accepting it, Grandma He said nothing more and looked at the melon seeds in Jia Yi's bag.

"Are you still selling melon seeds..."

"Yes, there is a huge demand for melon seeds during the Chinese New Year."

"Do you want more? If so, I'll help you find people who need it to buy it."

"Really, thank you very much. I still have more than two thousand kilograms here, and I am worried about it."

Grandma He said and turned around to find someone.

Within two minutes, Grandma He brought five people over. It turned out that it was the new year and all the acquaintances of Grandma He came to buy things.

"Xiao Yi, each of them weighs ten pounds."

He said and motioned for them to hand over the bags.

Jia Yi scooped up the melon seeds one by one.

"Oh, that's good. The bowls have been changed."

Jia Yi smiled awkwardly.

Pass the melon seeds to Grandma He.

"That's right, it's almost 11 pounds, and I'm not short of anything."

The group of people brought by Grandma He smiled happily.

"This is eleven dollars..."

Everyone took the melon seeds and handed out money.

"No, just charge ten yuan. You were all introduced by Grandma He. For Grandma He's sake, I can't charge more. But I'd like to trouble you to promote it. Don't worry, it's all the same price."

It turns out that as New Year’s Eve approaches, the price of melon seeds in the market has gone up a bit.

"Okay, I'll help you promote it when I get back..."

Everyone agreed in unison, after all, it would not be a shame to recommend such cheap and affordable melon seeds to relatives and friends.

"Xiao Yi, you are really good at business..."

After everyone left, Grandma He said funnyly.

Jia Yi could only giggle.

"Why don't I thank you, Grandma He, for this? Grandma He, if you have anything to do, please go back first."

"Oh, you don't need me here anymore...Okay, I'll go back first."

Seeing Grandma He's resentful eyes, Jia Yi quickly spoke up to cover up her embarrassment.

"Where? I don't have to rely on you to help me. If you have anything to do, just leave first..."

Business was particularly good in the afternoon. I was selling melon seeds while sitting at the gate of the courtyard.

This is how business is done, as long as the product is good, it will be sold quickly if it is passed on to ten people and spread to hundreds of people.

By four o'clock, Jia Yi had sold more than 2,300 kilograms of melon seeds, and there were not many people walking on the street.

No one has come to buy melon seeds for a while, and the market is almost saturated.

Jia Yi packed his bags, locked the door, and was ready to go home.

Well, looking at the stalls on the street, Jia Yi hesitated for a moment and decided to go shopping and buy something.

The first is the pork stall. There are only a dozen kilograms of lean meat left, eight pig trotters, and ten big bones. Oh, the bones are picked cleanly, and there is no trace of meat left. Hello, butcher.

Technology.

Thinking of the salty braised pig's trotters and the bone soup as white as milk, Jia Yi's mouth almost watered.

"Little brother, come here, I'll give you these two sticks. They're just for giving away. Take them..."

The boss looked at Jia Yi staring at the meat stall, drooling, and said generously. At this time, people buy meat with the aim of fat meat. Everyone is short of oil and water. Few people buy lean meat and bones.

of.

"Uncle, I'm here to buy meat."

Jia Yi smiled sheepishly.

"You also saw that there is only lean meat left. Do you want more?"

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"Well, lean meat is cheaper. It costs you one dollar and five pounds."

"Okay, I want them all..."

"What... aren't you afraid of being beaten by your father when you go back?" The uncle looked at Jia Yi in surprise.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Everyone in my family likes to eat lean meat."

"Well, I won't be responsible if something goes wrong."

We weighed the meat and found it was more than sixteen kilograms in total. Calculating sixteen kilograms, it cost twenty-four yuan.

"Uncle, sell the rest to me."

"Well, if you give me one of the eight pig's trotters, I'll give you all the stick bones."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

"No, it's time to close the stall..."

Jia Yi quickly paid twenty-five yuan, found a deserted place, and took everything to Taoyuan Warehouse.

Seeing that it was still early, I continued shopping.

I bought a lot of spices. The wild boar meat is inedible without spices and the meat hurts. It cost ten yuan. These spices are really expensive.

I saw sweet potatoes again and bought a bag to make seeds.

I originally wanted to buy flour, but I thought the half-acre of wheat in the space would be harvested in two days, so I didn’t buy it.

It's 4:40, hurry up and get in the car to go home, otherwise you will be taught a lesson if you go back late.

Sitting in the car, happily counting the small coins in the warehouse.

Today I earned 2,200 yuan from selling melon seeds. I spent 75 yuan to buy wild boar meat, 10 yuan for spices, 25 yuan for pork stalls, and 5 yuan for a hundred pounds of sweet potatoes. A total of 100 yuan was spent.

Fifteen yuan, a net profit of two thousand and eighty-five yuan.

Including the remaining 154 yuan before, Jia Yi now has 2,239 yuan, which is Qin Huairu's salary for eighty-one months, which is more than six years.

When returning home, Jia Yi passed by the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and saw several children playing with firecrackers and slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot. Traveling through time didn't even enhance my memory. Bad review."

I walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bottle of good wine for one yuan. There was also a pound of peach cakes worth 20 cents each, and two firecrackers worth 20 cents each.

When he thought of the little sisters shouting happily and jumping up and down when they saw the firecrackers, Jia Yi smiled proudly like an old father.

No, I'm only twelve years old and not married yet. I can't think about it any more, or something will happen if I think about it again.

We are almost at the door of our house. Let’s grab some things to take home for the New Year.

Jia Yi caught four crucian carp weighing more than a pound from the creek, controlled the temperature, and the fish were immediately processed and frozen.

Then he put four pig's trotters, six pounds of lean meat, two stick bones, half a pound of fungus, and two pounds of melon seeds in the bag.

Well, I only have one hundred and thirty-nine on me. If I put too much, I might scare the whole family.

"Brother, you are back..."
