Chapter 281 Feeding them is worse than feeding wolves(1/2)
There is a room in my new brick house that is specially used to open a consignment store.
There is also a room specially used for members to "storage" things.
Some time ago,
When the canteen was first opened, the members' need for cash suddenly dropped a lot because they didn't have to pay for meals.
Therefore, during that period of time, the business of the agency store was very poor!
The number of members who come to "deposit" items so that they can exchange some cash for return has been significantly reduced.
However, since the Chinese New Year is approaching, the cafeteria is simply unable to prepare a reunion dinner that meets the different needs of the members.
So during the period when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the business of the agency store is surprisingly good!
Many members of the commune have killed chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and other poultry at home, except for those they use to eat during the New Year.
The remaining poultry were all taken to the consignment store for "storage".
Because at this point in time, the members have heard some rumors: after the New Year, it is very likely that the production team will gather all the members' poultry into the "breeding farm" in the production team.
Raised collectively.
The eggs obtained from the farms will be filled into the large canteen for unified arrangement and centralized adjustment.
From now on,
The production team will no longer allow members to raise livestock and poultry privately.
In fact, even if they were allowed to raise them, most of the members would not have the ability...
Luo Xuan just entered the house.
Zhang Da, who was responsible for guarding the agency store, breathed a long sigh of relief, "Luo Xuan, you are finally back!
There are too many members who exchange things for money!
As a result, my weekly capital in the agency store is now a little hard to turn over! It almost drove me to death."
Luo Xuan felt slightly strange, "Didn't I leave you 500 yuan a while ago?
How much does a duck cost?
A few handfuls of rapeseed moss only cost a few cents, how could they not be enough?"
Aunt Zhang sighed, "You don't know, since the food in the cafeteria has 'changed',
There are more and more people bringing their belongings at home to cash out at consignment stores day by day.
They are all raised at home, and the little things grown secretly are really worthless."
"But we can't handle the large quantity!"
Zhang Dada: "In our consignment store, we have to spend 20 or 30 yuan on any day. Let's collect the things from the folks first, right?
How many days can the 500 yuan last for?"
In the agency store, the scale of acquisitions has now begun to expand. This is what Luo Xuan ordered Zhang Da to do.
In the past, members of the commune would take the slightly more valuable things from their homes and
Take it to a consignment store for "storage".
At that time, Luo Xuan rarely participated in this kind of "barter" transactions between the villagers.
I only occasionally encounter people whose families are really in big trouble and need money urgently.
Zhang Dacai would take out the money and first buy the things brought by the members with advance money.
Then hand it over to Luo Xuan and take it to the frog market for processing.
actually,
At that time, Luo Xuan was equivalent to helping out on a voluntary basis.
Freely help those members who are particularly difficult and worthy of your own help to help them tide over the difficulties.
However, if you think about it from another angle.
The agency store maintained this business model in the first few months.
In fact, it is also profitable for the consignment store: at least the members of several brigades who live nearby know privately that they go to the consignment store of Zhengxing 6 Production Team.
You can sell what you have and buy what you need at the same time.
Since then,
A "miniature farmer's market" spread among the people and not open to the public has begun to take shape.
Now Luo Xuan has begun to allocate special funds to ask Zhang Da to increase the purchase of poultry from the members.
This is equivalent to setting up a poultry and egg souvenir company in disguise.
Luo Xuan took out 800 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Da, "Da, you need to take this money to work around first.
However, you must be low-key when purchasing things.
It is best to put the things brought by the villagers overnight, so as not to make them think that these things have been bought by other people in need."
Luo Xuan told Zhang DaDao, "Also, when you purchase something, you must look at the other person's character.
It doesn't matter that the goods arrive, we don't expect to make the money of three melons and two dates.
What we value is who the other person is, who is he, and is he worthy of our help?"
Zhang Da happily took the money.
With a smile on his face, he praised: "How could we not say that Luo Xuan is so awesome!
Look, even the public servant couldn’t earn such a large amount of money in many years, but our family Luo Xuan said he would pay for it, so he took it out!”
Zhang Dada: "As for what you said, don't worry! I know it well.
Just like that Erniang Ye and Mrs. Wang came to store something, even if it smells bad, it won't be sold!
After dealing with them twice like this, Ye Erniang, Wang and the rest will never leave their things with me again, hahaha..."
Ever since Zhang Da helped Luo Xuan take care of the agency store, not to mention she could get a fixed salary every month.
Let’s just say that running this agency store can bring her a sense of accomplishment and the connections she can build.
This made Mrs. Zhang fall asleep so happily that she even woke up laughing!
"See them coming with a smile and then leaving with a sad face.
At the same time, I still wonder why other people’s things can be bought as soon as they are taken away? But no one cares about their things.”
Zhang laughed so hard, "You don't know, seeing the expressions on their faces really relieved me!"
"Zhang Da handles things appropriately!"
Luo Xuan gave her a thumbs up, "This Chinese New Year, I will send you a big red envelope!"
"Hahaha, then I would like to thank our family Luo Xuan."
Zhang Da laughed loudly, "Dahe, Uncle Zhang, you are not short of money now! I will save it for you. When our Luo Xuan gets a wife in the future, I will buy you some property... Hahaha!"
After settling down at Zhang Da's place, Luo Xuan returned to the room where he lived.
I worked hard to build three main houses, but now I only have one room left for me to live in.
As for the bamboo house next to it, because Ji Xuyuan had gone into the mountains, the house was temporarily empty.
Luo Xuan planned to take it over temporarily and use it as a secret warehouse.
Ji Xuyuan's prestige in the entire Red Star Commune is actually quite high.
It's just that his identity is a bit special.
Therefore, neither the commune cadres nor the cadres in the production team would say anything to him publicly.
But in fact, deep down in their hearts, everyone still respects Ji Xuyuan: a person who is usually not petty, throws money away at every turn, and a person who is particularly capable of spending money.
A person who has nothing to do with the world,
I never say that the Dong family is a rich old man, but the Xi family is short.
Who wouldn't like that?
Although he had sold that hut to him, even though Ji Xuyuan said he would not be living at home for a long time...
But no one dared to step into his hut!
"A lot!"
As soon as Luo Xuan returned to the house, Xiaocao stretched out his arms and ran towards Luo Xuan with tears on his face, "Hug!"
"Be good, Xiaocao, don't cry, don't cry."
Luo Xuan knelt down, gently held Xiaocao in his arms, and reached out to wipe away her tears.
He said softly, "Aren't you happy to see your brother?"
"happy!"
