Chapter 150: Help
Lan Yingjie blushed, looked at Lan Xin excitedly and asked, "Sister Lan Xin, can I really go sell tea eggs?"
Lan Xin smiled and nodded. Lan Qing and others beside her laughed and said, "How can I deceive you?"
"Brother Lan, Sister Lan Xin, that's not what I meant." Lan Yingjie said anxiously, fearing that Lan Xin and the others would misunderstand him.
Lan Xin smiled and said, "Okay, stop teasing him." She then reminded Lan Yingjie, "Did Lan Xi tell you everything?"
"I've said it." Lan Yingjie nodded.
Lan Xin continued, "I thought about it. The tea eggs in the city have to be priced differently. The conditions there are different from those in Sanqing Mountain. If we sell them both at 26 cents, it won't be a good deal. I'll give it to you at 20 cents, and you can sell them in the city at 24 cents each. You'll make 4 cents on each tea egg."
This is what Lan Xin thought of after looking at the sales volume over the past two days. There are many people in the city, but only fifty tea eggs were sold after half a day. There shouldn't be a problem, such as the price not being right.
After all, there are many food choices in the city. If you don’t want to eat tea eggs, you can go home and cook them. The market is too small to sell them at the same price as Sanqing Mountain.
Besides, even in the future, the prices at scenic spots and train stations will be different from those at ordinary places. It is not reasonable to force a single price on them now.
"Really?" Lan Yingjie widened his eyes in disbelief, then his face turned into ecstasy.
He didn't know much about doing business, but when he heard that the tea eggs were going to be sold for 2.6 cents each, he wondered if it was too expensive. Then he reflected on himself and thought, why was the price so expensive? It was just that he was too poor.
Now Lan Xin has lowered the price for him. Even though 24 cents an egg is still expensive in his opinion, it is much cheaper. Lan Yingjie is very excited now. If the price is lowered, more people will buy it. As long as there are people who buy it, he can make money.
You can make four cents from one egg, and you can make 40 cents by selling ten eggs!
Thinking of this, Lan Yingjie wanted to jump up on the spot.
When Chen Baoni and the others heard the price that Lan Xin offered to Lan Yingjie, they had some objections. Li Xia spoke awkwardly.
"Lan Xin, why are the prices of tea eggs sold in this city so much cheaper?"
Lan Xin raised her eyes and looked at her, her eyebrows curved: "You sell at a higher price, and you earn more, isn't that good?"
"The situation in the city is different from that in Sanqingshan. Sanqingshan is currently an exclusive business, and the goods have to be carried up the mountain, so an extra one or two cents is acceptable. It's different in the city, where competition is fierce, so we have to follow the city's prices."
After listening to Lan Xin's explanation, Li Xia and the others looked at each other and felt that they also meant the same thing. After all, the cucumbers and tomatoes sold by Aunt Mo and others in the mountains are just a little more expensive than those sold in the city, and this has to be taken into account the hard work pay.
Moreover, the tea eggs were sold at a higher price by two cents, but Lan Xin also gave them an extra cent of profit. If they were not family members, how could she give them such a big profit? After realizing this, Li Xia and the others had no objections.
After saying this, Lan Xin looked at Lan Yingjie and warned him, "Yingjie, you have to remember that I gave you the tea eggs at 20 cents each so that you can sell them in the city. We each have a sales area, and you cannot leave your sales area and sell them in other places."
"If I find out that you take these tea eggs back to Sanqing Mountain to sell them, it will be considered a violation of the agreement. Don't come to me to buy from you anymore." Lan Xin said heartlessly. This profitable business should of course be left to her family.
Lan Yingjie nodded repeatedly as a guarantee, "Don't worry, Sister Lan Xin, I know all this, and I will sell it well in the city. I swear, if I sell it in Sanqing Mountain, I won't make a penny, and my intestines will be broken."
Lan Yingjie had not read much and could not think of how to make a promise, so he immediately stretched out his hand and swore a solemn oath, and Lan Xin and the others could not stop him.
"Okay, okay, don't swear any more!" Lan Xin hurriedly stopped him: "Just remember these words."
"The rest is that you need to prepare a pot for the tea eggs, and find a way to borrow or rent a bicycle to make it convenient for you to travel back and forth. As for the payment, in the first month, I can deliver the goods first and pay later. That is, I will give you the tea eggs first, and you can come back to give me the proceeds after selling them in the evening."
Lan Xin spoke one sentence at a time, and Lan Yingjie listened very carefully. Lan Xi, who was standing beside her, patted her chest and assured her, "Sister, don't worry. I have told Yingjie all these things."
"Yes, Lanxi told me everything. Sister Lanxin, your family are all good people." Lan Yingjie quickly handed out a good person card.
Lan Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, alright. Apart from this, let me tell you where you can put it and what you can say..."
Lan Xin held Lan Yingjie's hand and talked for half an hour, telling him all the techniques on how to sell tea eggs. Chen Baoni and others on the side also told her the secret. After all, they had been selling them for a few days and had some experience. Looking at the poor Lan Yingjie, they couldn't help but want to tell him to sell more tea eggs and make more money.
They talked for another hour.
Old Mrs. Lan also found a helper for Lan Xin, but surprisingly, his surname was not Lan.
Old Mrs. Lan pulled Lan Xin over and whispered to her the origin of this person. This person's name was Ma Cuihua. Her parents were blinded by the bride price and married her to a man from Lanjia Village named Zhang Changshan.
Zhang Changshan was a man with a low IQ. He was tall and strong but had the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old. He was bullied every day and could not get married even at his old age. So his parents spent a lot of money to marry Ma Cuihua.
Zhang Changshan had a high fever when he was a child and his brain was damaged. Although he was stupid, he was not violent. He lived a peaceful life with Ma Cuihua and listened to her in everything.
But the man in charge of the family is a fool, and all the burdens fall on Ma Cuihua. A woman has to support three people in the family, big and small. The living conditions at home are not very good, and they are a well-known poor family in the village.
So at this moment, Old Mrs. Lan thought of Ma Cuihua. At least she could make some money and improve her life.
Lan Xin fell silent after hearing this. It was not a good thing for both adults and children for a man with a low IQ to get married and have children, but it was someone else's family affair and she had no control over it.
Moreover, the two have been married for several years and have two children. They seem to be living a good life. Ma Cuihua is able to control Zhang Changshan, and the two children do not show any mental inheritance. They are fortunately.
Life was hard, but Ma Cuihua was very strong and she carried the whole family alone. Lan Xin felt pity for her. After all, it didn't matter who she asked for help. If she asked relatives, everyone in the village would be relatives, so it would be a bad idea to ask someone with a difficult family to help her, which would be a good thing.
