After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Chapter 153

This time to collect tea cakes, Jiang Xiaoman originally brought some candies, snacks and pastries, I would like to thank these folks, after all, he himself has never urged them, but they have always kept this matter in mind, no need He urged, and made the tea cake by himself.

I didn't expect to see that he actually came to collect the tea cakes. The villagers were more enthusiastic than each other. Jiang Xiaoman was still confused at first, but after sitting down and chatting for a while, he finally understood the reason——

This year, many migrant workers in the village did not make any money, and some even borrowed the money for the bus tickets back home from other villagers.

After the new year, instead of leaving some money for their families, those who went out to work, they asked for a sum of travel expenses and living expenses from their families, patted their buttocks, and embarked on the return journey of "going out to make money"...

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoman was almost speechless.

This group of people also bullied these old people who had never been to the city.

Let’s not talk about working in a factory, including food and housing, as long as you don’t spend indiscriminately, if you can save 500 yuan a month, you can save 6000 yuan a year.

How could it be possible to find someone to borrow the travel expenses?

Those who have not entered the factory, even if they go to deliver couriers, deliver food, or even simply go to the gate of the community, they will not be unable to save hundreds of dollars a month.

To put it bluntly, the government doesn’t care much about migrant workers these days, and is worried that their wages will be owed. In some places, the construction party is even required to deposit a deposit in a designated bank account, even if the contractor runs away. It's not like you can't get a little salary.

So, even the reason that "the contractor is in arrears of wages" is untenable. Where did these people have the cheek to tell their family members that they have been away for a year and haven't saved a penny?

Jiang Xiaoman can figure it out with his toes, except for a very small number of people who really don't make any money by reciting, others, either go out on dates with factory girls to eat, watch movies, and spend all their wages.Or just watch the live broadcast and give rewards, and strive to be the top brother on the list?

Therefore, many families in the village this year have a very sad life after the new year.In addition to the start of school after the year, the children's tuition and miscellaneous expenses, and the family's living expenses...Jiang Xiaoman's income from tea cakes, in the eyes of these people, can really be called a timely gift!

After all, almost every household in the village has their own tea trees, which were abandoned before. Now they hear that tea can be picked to make tea cakes, and they go to pick them again. They are all tea from their own fields, and the cost of raw materials and labor is almost zero.

Even the tools for making tea cakes were given to them by Jiang Xiaoman directly. The whole production process was just a little firewood - people in the mountains went to the mountains to collect firewood by themselves, and this piece cost almost no money.

To make a catty of tea cakes, remove a few unqualified ones, and Jiang Xiaoman buys the rest at 50 yuan per catty, and 1 yuan for ten catties. Three hundred catties of qualified small tea cakes, almost a net profit of more than [-] yuan!

With this money, the children can occasionally give some pocket money to buy food when they go to school, and the family's expenses are also well off.

These old people and left-behind mothers who were abandoned in their hometown finally saw a glimmer of hope from despair. They can't wait to pick tea and make tea cakes day and night. Who would be willing to rest?

From this day on, Jiang Xiaoman set a rule for the cooperating tea farmers: If someone needs money urgently, there is no need to wait for him to come to collect the tea cakes, as soon as they are ready, he will send them over, and he can pay on the spot .

Jiang Xiaoman's tea-loving fans have lived a happy life ever since——

When the whole network complained that this year's new tea was too expensive, and Mingqian green tea was fried to start at 1000 yuan, they actually drank Mingqian's new tea cakes that cost more than 100 yuan a catty!

What makes Jiang Xiaoman speechless is that ever since he started hanging 68 yuan and a half catties of mini tea cakes on the little yellow cart, fans are reluctant to repost his videos, for fear that other netizens will also find that Brother Xiaoman's products are cheap and cheap. Delicious tea cakes.

After all, they don't have enough points for themselves, so those passers-by outside should stop joining in the fun.

This means that Jiang Xiaoman really only sells the seasonal tea cakes produced in his village, and sells as much as he takes. If he were to switch to another profession to bring goods, he would really hoard a large number of tea cakes, thinking that fans would help forward the promotion , I must be so angry that I vomit blood!

……

During the recent period, Jiang Xiaoman almost didn't go home. Although the courier station hadn't been renovated yet, it didn't need a well-decorated site for express delivery. Many courier stations in the city even rented people's garages to work.Jiang Xiaoman simply opened the business in the two newly built tile-roofed houses next to the rough house.

These two tile-roofed houses were specially granted to him by the village, and they are not considered his private property, because the village happens to lack a stop for buses to pick up and drop off.

In the past, the passenger buses passing by the village stopped directly at the school gate for convenience.

This year, the school was demolished and rebuilt. There are often construction vehicles coming in and out of the gate, and it is a bit dangerous for buses to stop here to pick up and drop off passengers.

The village chief saw that Jiang Xiaoman's location was just right, it was on the side of the road, and there were no other residents on either side, nor any dangerous construction sites. It couldn't be more suitable for Xiaoman to temporarily hide from the rain and wait for family members to bring umbrellas!

it's you! ! !

So, next to Jiang Xiaoman's house, there were two more simple tile-roofed houses, with a handwritten sign on it: Langshan Village Passenger Shuttle Stop.

The shuttle bus to the town runs every morning and afternoon, and stops here four times on its way back and forth. For the rest of the time, there is not even a ghost at this stop, but it is more lively when Jiang Xiaoman comes to send and receive deliveries.

Recently, he happened to be selling tea cakes, and the returned tea cakes were packaged here, and then he called the courier company he cooperated with, and asked their courier vehicles to come here to pick up the goods when they went to the town to deliver the goods.

It is convenient to cooperate with the courier company, so that he will sell local specialties in the future, and he no longer needs to hire a car to send to the county town, and the shipping fee is cheaper than the county town.

In fact, their village is so small, according to the regulations of the courier company, they are not eligible to join, but who made Langshan special?

As a poor "nationally famous" place, almost all townships in Langshan meet the current support conditions for express companies to "target poverty alleviation" and "open up online sales channels for agricultural products".

And what makes Jiang Xiao satisfied is that even the franchise fee, according to the counterparty poverty alleviation policy, if he can send and receive more orders than the contract after the one-year contract expires, or he has won awards in the local government's poverty alleviation project , can apply for waiver of joining fee...

Therefore, Jiang Xiaoman is not afraid even if his daily order volume is only a few dozen, because the express company is assessed based on the annual average order volume. It is the peak period when the volume of courier orders comes up.

What's more, because his express delivery point only charges one yuan per order, many migrant workers in the village now send things home, or young people in the village shop online, and they all like to write down the address here. There are also dozens of orders that can be received.

In the past, Jiang Xiaoman didn't understand why the town had to pay extra to collect the courier. Now that he has done it himself, he understands that people in the village have to go to the mountains to work during the day, and many people like to come to pick up the package after dinner. The electricity bill alone And overtime pay, if he hires someone to do it, he only charges one yuan per piece, and he will have to pay for it.

Jiang Xiaoman is a natural master of time planning. After discovering this problem, he has now adjusted his schedule accordingly——

During the day, no one came to pick up the packages, so he locked all the things in the next room, and only opened one room for passengers to get on and off the bus, or people waiting for the bus to rest here temporarily.He himself went up and down to work as usual.

In the afternoon, he came with dry food, and while packing the express delivery, he waited for the villagers to come to pick up or send the package after finishing their work.

Because he specially wrote a note at the door, agreeing that the pick-up time is from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm every day, so now this express delivery point in the village has become the busiest place in the village in the evening!

The old people in the village have to do housework and take care of their children all day long, unlike the retired old people in the city who still have time to dance in the square, so in the evening, they bring their children to the delivery point to see what other people's homes have received. , It has become a favorite amateur activity of the whole village.

Jiang Xiaoman can't see others idle and not making money!

Seeing that they were all right when they came back from the field, they rolled their eyes, and the next day, at the door of the express delivery point, they wrote a big "Mountain Goods Purchase List" with red paper and ink.

It listed some local specialties that many fans were asking about when shooting the video before, such as dried stalagmites, dried wild mushrooms, dried wild vegetables, farm smoked bacon and so on.

He himself often goes to the town to go to the market, and the purchase price he writes is basically the same as the price that the villagers carry to the town to go to the market to sell.

In this way, there will be a lot less time to drag the children over to watch the excitement when there is nothing to do.

What are you watching?

You can't earn a penny just watching the excitement, and sometimes the children start crying, and you have to go to the canteen to buy some snacks to coax them.

With this time, why not pick some wild vegetables, dry them and bring them to Jiang Xiaoman to sell for money?

The fans accidentally discovered that Jiang Xiaoman hadn't forgotten what they had been reminding them all the time. They were so moved, and eagerly said that this time the quantity seems to be relatively large, and they will definitely be able to grab a copy...

The fans guessed it right. Seeing around Qingming, stalagmites, bracken, and various wild mushrooms popped up in the mountains. Originally, many people in the village liked to go to the mountains to pick some back in this season, and dried them for their own homes. eat.

Sometimes someone who is short of money will carry some mountain products to the market to sell, but almost every family in the mountains is drying these dried vegetables, and the price is not high, and they often cannot be sold. As time goes by, everyone also stops picking mountain products to take selling mind.

I'm worried that Jiang Xiaoman will accept it for a while, and if he doesn't make money at that time, he won't accept it. Recently, people in the village would rather go to the mountains to collect mountain products with their children on their backs. Within a few days, people came to sell the dried mountain products one after another.

"Grandma Juying, look, your dried stalagmites are worth 15 yuan a catty, and the total cost is 72 yuan."

"And this miscellaneous fungus, remember to save more next time, and sell the expensive ones from the cheap ones separately! This time I will count you 20 yuan per catty, and the total here is 46 yuan."

"This dried bracken costs 12 yuan a catty, and you only have one and a half catties here, so the total is 18 yuan."

"Together these three things together, I should give you 136 yuan, do you want to count it?"

The trembling Grandma Juying listened carefully, and it took a while to realize, she shook her head with a smile, "It doesn't count, it doesn't count, Xiao Man, you can say as much as you want."

"That's right, I don't have that letter, Xiaoman, can you give me cash?"

Jiang Xiaoman also knew that many elderly people in the village could only use cell phones to make calls, and some of them didn't even have bank cards. I gave her 136 yuan in cash.

Granny Juying tremblingly took out a cotton handkerchief from her bosom, unfolded it, rolled up the money layer by layer in the handkerchief, took the empty woven bag, and left on crutches.

It was two days later that Jiang Xiaoman learned from other people in the village that Grandma Juying had a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter was married early, and she used her dowry to build a two-story house for her younger brother in the village. It's just that after the house is built, there is no money, and the house has not been renovated.

Now there are no other sisters or sisters in the family who can exchange gifts for the youngest son to marry a wife.

I can't get the bride price, and the house is still a rough one. Grandma Juying's youngest son can't get a wife, so he has been working outside. I patted my ass and went out to work.

I just feel sorry for Grandma Juying. She is very old and stays alone in her hometown, and she has to save money to supplement her son. I don’t know how much face her dog has grown compared to her son. It’s fine to pay money, but when you come back from the New Year, you still have to spend your mother’s money to visit relatives...

At this time, Jiang Xiaoman didn't know that he would soon have to deal with this "big-faced brother".
