Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

Xu Dongsheng was not aware of the loving mother and filial son situation regarding Yi Zhonghai's family. At this time, Xu Dongsheng helped the drunk Xu Dazhuang to bed and made him fall asleep, then he hurriedly cleaned up the mess.

"Dongsheng, you're back?"

When Xu Dongsheng cleaned up the dishes and was about to go back to the house, a voice suddenly came from the door. It turned out that Xu Damao had returned. Xu Damao was wearing flashy clothes and pushing a bicycle with two gift bags tied to the bicycle. It seemed that he had bought some gifts to give to others.

"It's Brother Damao, are you going to meet the parents?"

When Xu Dongsheng saw that it was Xu Damao, he immediately started talking and asked Xu Damao with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention it. They kicked me out. I don't know what happened recently. It happened three times in a row. I was always defeated by my future father-in-law. I said it all, but when I met my future father-in-law, something went wrong.

Now that you are back, come to my house. The fresh Beijing cakes I bought today have not been touched at all. By the way, tell me how your trip to the countryside went this time."

When Xu Damao heard Xu Dongsheng's question, he not only did not show a happy expression, but instead looked as if he had eaten a fly. He had done this two or three times in a row, and the results were always the same. He felt that it was almost done, but then problems arose when he met the parents. He could not find what the problem was for a while.

However, seeing Xu Dongsheng coming back, Xu Damao also started to think about making money and starting a career, so he invited Xu Dongsheng to their house to eat cakes together.

"Well, that's great. I just got a jar of good wine. Let's drink it together."

Xu Dongsheng nodded, went back to the house and picked up a jar of the wine he brewed himself, the corn wine he was following. This was the wine Xu Dongsheng brewed when he went to the countryside after he mastered the brewing skills. However, there was not much, only two jars, and he got the jars from his fellow villagers.

"That's what I told you. You have to go farther away. The area around the capital has been turned upside down. It's hard to find a source of goods around the capital. Have you been to the other villages I gave you, except for Daoxiang Village?"

The two men took a sip of wine, and then Xu Damao asked Xu Dongsheng if he had visited other villages. He only knew that Xu Dongsheng's plan at that time was to go to Daoxiang Village, and he had only been there for three or four days, so there was not enough time to visit several villages.

"No, I went to Daoxiang Village with the address you gave me. I didn't go to any other villages yet because I didn't have enough time. I was lucky at Daoxiang Village and got 60 kilograms of sparrow meat jerky and two chickens. The meat jerky was bought at 1 cent per kilogram, and the purchasing department charged me about 20 cents. For the two chickens, I spent half a kilogram of White Rabbit."

Xu Dongsheng shook his head and said that he was lucky this time as he completed the task of more than 100 kilograms in Daoxiangcun.

"It was really luck. According to what you said, at that time, all the grain in the village was paid to the government, and no one hid grain. It was good enough for you to receive 60 kilograms of sparrow jerky and two chickens. But the price you gave was too high. In the countryside, one dollar for a chicken is very expensive.

As for the dried meat, it was secretly left over when the four evils were eliminated. It basically cost nothing. You can get it for 1 cent per pound. If it were me, 2 cents per pound would be the maximum I could get.

They only earn a few cents for every cent they work for a day, sometimes even less than the money for a pound of food in the city. You don't know, in the countryside, five dollars can get you a wife that you like, and two dollars is almost worth half a wife.

It is very difficult to make some money in the countryside, and the materials purchased in bulk cannot be sold. If they are sold, it is illegal. Therefore, money is very useful in the countryside. If it were me, I could get these two chickens for two dollars at most, and the dried meat for three dollars.

I know you are eager to complete the task and you want to purchase more things, but once you have given this price, if you go to that place to purchase next time and lower your price, people will look down on you. Even if your price is a little higher than others, they will sell to those who are loyal to you.

However, if you continue to purchase goods in the countryside at this price, there should be plenty of supply, but you may not earn as much as other buyers."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao began to tell Xu Dongsheng that if he, Xu Damao, purchased these things in the countryside, he would spend a lot less money, but he thought that Xu Dongsheng did this because he wanted to make more money.

"I didn't think about that. I just bought whatever the factory offered me. Besides, we didn't give them any invoices, so we've already taken advantage of the farmers. If we make a profit from the difference, it would be against our conscience. If someone finds out, wouldn't that be speculation? This is illegal and we must not do it."

Xu Dongsheng didn't expect Xu Damao to say such a thing, but he really didn't think about making money from farmers. He bought things according to the market price, that is, the factory's purchasing price, and would not deliberately lower the price. After all, farmers have a hard time these days. It's not easy to make some money. Why would he cut it off? He doesn't need this little money, so why bother?

The factory gave him the purchase price and he had the purchasing authority. He could legally and reasonably pay for some hard-to-buy things. It was already very good. Why should he exploit others? As for making money, if Xu Dongsheng wanted to make money, it would be too easy for him. Besides, he couldn't do much with money now. On the contrary, he could do more with food.

Therefore, Xu Dongsheng was not planning to make much money all at once. He only needed to complete the purchasing tasks mentioned above. If he could buy anything from the countryside, he would buy it at the market price. If he couldn't buy enough, he would use the food in the hemisphere to make up the rest.

There are now several thousand kilograms of rabbit meat in the hemisphere, and now there are chickens. When there is a chance, I will get two piglets in and raise some pigs. In this way, it can meet daily needs. As for food, it is harvested once a day, and each crop is over a thousand kilograms. Xu Dongsheng can only increase the distance between plants and plant more seeds of Chinese medicinal materials.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about grain and oil for the time being. If it weren't for the worry that the food was from the wrong source, and since he was a buyer, he might find more interesting things if he went out more often, Xu Dongsheng would have wanted to stay at home and complete the task with the food in the hemisphere. In this way, he would have money and indirectly reduce the pressure on food.

This is only a temporary solution, after all, his own safety is the most important. Even if he can only live to be 80 years old, Xu Dongsheng can enjoy 40 to 50 years after taking off, so why bother to seek death?

Therefore, Xu Dongsheng doesn’t have much idea about making money. He just wants to live a good life with less trouble and fewer worries.
