Rebirth of the house of thieves

Zhang Yan's initial estimate of the time was too optimistic. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the last meeting with Zou Junming. He left Wang Yue at Jiang Dapeng's house and borrowed a bicycle to go to the town to see the situation.

Wang Yue was carrying a book and a notebook.Lin Qiaoxiu moved a low bench and a wide high bench for him to use as a writing desk

"Read, drink water when you're thirsty, and ask me if you can write." Lin Qiaoxiu put a glass of sugar water on the table, looked at him with a smile, and sat down on a chair beside her to do her needlework.

"Thank you, auntie." Wang Yue responded obediently, and sighed in her heart, how long will she be pretending to be a child, why does time pass so slowly?He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and continued to write according to the textbook.

Time passed unconsciously, there was a loud noise outside, and a group of people ran into the yard.

"Read!"

Wang Yue looked up, it was Wang Rui and Wang Mingjie.

Several people asked in one go:

"Yueyue, is Zhang Yan back yet?"

"How long has he been gone?"

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Lin Qiaoxiu frowned and coughed lightly.

"Keep your voice down, don't scare Yue Yue."

The children calmed down consciously and greeted Lin Qiaoxiu politely.

Wang Yue didn't feel strange about their reaction. Lin Qiaoxiu exuded a gentleness and demureness in her words and deeds, which made people subconsciously become obedient in front of her.

"Zhang Yan hasn't come back yet?" Zhou Lanlan asked again, looking a little impatient.

"No." Wang Yue put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, and decided to rest for a while, "It should be soon."

A rumbling sound came from far and near.Everyone didn't take it seriously, and after a while, they saw a tricycle driving past Jiang Dapeng's house, and Zhang Yan's figure flashed past in the carriage of the tricycle.

"Zhang Yan is back!" Wang Mingjie yelled and rushed out of the yard.He saw white foam boxes piled high in the carriage, which must contain popsicles and ice cream!

A group of people came and ran away.

Only Wang Yue was left to pack his books and pencil case slowly and put them in the small schoolbag that Zhang Yan bought for him.

Lin Qiaoxiu nodded secretly, feeling that it was very rare for this child to be calm at such a young age, and she liked it a little more.

"Auntie, I'll go back and have a look."

"Go, come and play with aunt when you have time." Lin Qiaoxiu said kindly.

When Wang Yue returned home, Zhang Yan was sending the tricycle driver master away.Several foam boxes were placed on the floor of the main room, and Wang Rui and the others crowded around excitedly.Feng Xiaoyong was quick-tempered and wanted to open it, but was stopped by Wang Rui.

"What's the rush? Listen to what Zhang Yan has to say first."

Wang Yue saw that Wang Rui himself didn't realize his conviction in Zhang Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

He approached curiously and counted seven foam boxes in total.

Zhang Yan looked at Wang Yue first, and didn't find that he was wronged or injured, so he looked at other people, "You can hear what I say next, and those who don't obey the arrangement will not have to participate in the activities organized by me in the future. .”

It was the first time Wang Rui and the others saw him so serious, they didn't dare to speak, and nodded obediently.

"We have a total of eight people, and we will divide into four groups. It will be safer for two people to work together. Yueyue and I are in one group. For the rest, you should group yourself."

After discussing for a while, everyone decided that Wang Mingjie and his younger sister Wang Lili were in a group, Wang Rui was in a group with Zhou Jiawei, and Zhou Lanlan was in a group with Feng Xiaoyong.

"I bought these seven foam boxes and the small quilts that wrapped them. I sold them to you at the original price of ten yuan each. They can still be used next summer. If you don't plan to sell them next summer, you can count them as Rented it from me."

Wang Rui immediately said, "It's better for me to buy it."

Everyone else is thinking the same.

"Give it to me when you have money. Except for my box, each of you has forty popsicles and thirty ice creams in the box. You should count it first." Zhang Yan moved the box that belonged to him.

For the other boxes, each of Wang Rui had one, and he untied the quilt first.After opening the lid, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.I saw that the popsicles and ice cream inside were red, green, and rainbow... the colors were rectangular, oval, candied haws, and five-pointed star... just looking at them is tempting, and I can't wait to take a bite immediately.

"These popsicles and ice cream are so beautiful!" Wang Lili stared at her eyes and couldn't help licking her lips.

"I've never seen such a special popsicle ice cream before!" Zhou Lanlan looked at Zhang Yan with admiration, "Zhang Yan, where did you buy it?"

"I'll tell you when the time comes. Let's count first." Zhang Yan signaled them to close the lid.

After counting the number of people, Wang Rui said that there is no problem with the number.

Zhang Yan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "The purchase price of popsicles is 10 yuan, and the retail price is 30 yuan; the purchase price of ice cream is 0 yuan, and the retail price is 20 yuan. The purchase price is also I paid in advance. Don’t rush to give me the money. Copy down the price on this piece of paper and take it back to your parents. You can tell your parents about selling popsicles and ice cream. Remember to say it clearly. It doesn’t matter if your parents don’t agree, I will find someone else. Also, don’t forget to get the change ready. The speed is fast, and we will start after you come back.” It’s past ten o’clock, and the temperature is already quite high. Time to cool down.

When Wang Mingjie and the others heard that they wanted to find someone else, they all made up their minds to convince their parents, asked Wang Yue to borrow a pen and paper, and copied down the purchase price and sale price.

Wang Rui had memorized it, so he didn't copy it, and trotted home.

Wang Yue opened his and Zhang Yan's boxes, and saw at a glance that there were more popsicles and ice cream in the box than the others, at least a hundred.It seems that Zhang Yan is very confident.Popsicles of various shapes and colors are sorted and crowded, which looks neat and easy to take out.

Zhang Yan picked up a watermelon-flavored ice cream and handed it to him, "I can only eat one."

Wang Yue frowned.He is an adult anyway, could he be very greedy?He opened his mouth to take a mouthful of the ice cream, and he couldn't help nodding. The taste was really good, both ice-sweet and soft.He reciprocated by taking a candied haws popsicle and handing it to Zhang Yan.

The two waited at home for a while, and a group of people came in outside.It was Wang Rui's parents, and the village chief Wang Fugui also came.

"Zhang Yan, I heard Mingjie said that you plan to sell ice cream, let's come and have a look." The village head said with a smile.

Zhang Yan got up to greet him, "All uncles, please come in, just happen to give us advice."

Several parents looked curious, they had never seen children doing business before, and it would be a skill if their children could really do it.They opened the box and looked, and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the popsicles and ice cream.

Wang Fugui nodded affirmatively, "These ice cream popsicles are good, better than others I've seen."

"It's not bad, it's just..." Zhou Jiawei's mother hesitated, "You bought so much on the first day of selling, what if you can't sell it?"

"Mom!" Zhou Jiawei blushed and tugged on her sleeve.

The other parents were speechless, and they were a little worried about this issue.

Zhang Yan didn't change his face, "Today's purchase volume is determined by me. If it can't be sold out, the loss will be counted on me. From tomorrow on, you can decide how much to buy. I will only take the lead."

Wang Ruirui's father glanced at Zhou Jiawei's mother intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Wang Rui with a smile: "Wang Rui, this is the first time you have done such a big thing. Dad supports you. How much you buy every day is up to you." Decided, you keep the money you make, and if you lose money, it will be father's." He looked at Zhang Yan thoughtfully.

Wang Rui smiled back at him happily, and said excitedly: "Father, I will definitely behave well."

"This is the money for the purchase and the money for the box and quilt. Zhang Yan, you take it. Thank you for being willing to take Wang Rui." Wang Rui's father took out the money from his trouser pocket and handed it to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan thanked him and took it over, and handed it to Wang Yue.

Zhou Jiawei's mother blushed a little and laughed dryly.

Wang Fugui also gave the money, "Selling ice cream and popsicles can not only earn pocket money but also exercise courage. be careful."

Wang Rui and the others impatiently asked their parents to help carry the boxes.

Zhang Yan stopped them, "Don't be in a hurry. It's not safe to go too far away, we only go to nearby villages. Wang Mingjie and Wang Lili went to Lijia Village and Changhe Village, Wang Rui and Zhou Jiawei went to Yuqian Village and Yangshu Village, Feng Xiaoyong and Zhou Lanlan went to Zhao Village. Jiazhuang and Hongqi Village, Yueyue and I sell in our village and Green Lake Village. No one can cross the border.”

Wang Rui's father took a deep look at Zhang Yan.This kid is amazing.

He lifted Wang Rui's box easily, "Wang Rui, let's go."

Leaving Wang Yue's house, seeing no one else around, he whispered to Wang Rui, "Zhang Yan is a smart boy, son, remember to spend more time with Zhang Yan in the future. I think you will learn a lot by staying with him. something."

Although Wang Rui was quick-witted, he half-understood what he said, "I understand, and I also think Zhang Yan is very smart."

Wang Rui's father smiled and said nothing, suddenly full of expectations for his son's future.

After everyone left, Wang Yue and Zhang Yan tied the two boxes to the back seat of the bicycle.

"Yueyue, are you really going?" Zhang Yan looked at the scorching sun outside.

"Go!" Wang Yue strongly expressed his wish.

Zhang Yan put on a sun hat for him, and made him carry a small backpack containing change, then put him on the front bumper of the bicycle, pushed the bicycle out, and first circled the village twice.

They were a group with a tight population, and other people in the village didn't know that they were going to sell popsicles and ice cream. It was strange to see Zhang Yan riding a bicycle with a familiar foam box on the back seat.

"You have to shout." Wang Yue urged Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan countered, "Yueyue, come and yell, you are cuter than me, and they will definitely buy it if you yell."

Wang Yue rolled her eyes, "I will share half of the money I earn."

"No problem." Zhang Yan did not hesitate.

Wang Yue let go of his voice and shouted: "Sell popsicle ice cream! Delicious and beautiful popsicle ice cream, there are red, green, rainbow; watermelon flavor, orange flavor; candied haws shape, five-pointed star..."

He was young, and his voice was crisp and loud. Soon, many children and young people ran out of the house hearing the sound.When the adults saw that it was Wang Yue and Zhang Yan who were peddling, they felt a little sad after being surprised. A child without parents is like a grass.Many adults who were reluctant to buy snacks for their children in the past are willing to give their children a few cents to buy a popsicle or ice cream.

The unique popsicle ice cream was loved by children, and more than a dozen were sold in less than 5 minutes.

Wang Yue kept count in secret.Walking around in Xingfu Village, they sold at least sixty sticks, not only for children, but also for many adults.He understood that because of the sympathy of the villagers for them, tomorrow may not be such a good result.In fact, he couldn't figure out why Zhang Yan chose Xingfu Village. It was impossible for the villagers to "sympathize" with them every day.

Thinking about it, he asked the question in his heart.

"Of course I didn't expect to rely on their sympathy." Zhang Yan looked at his small and soft body with a smile.He chose Xingfu Village only because Xingfu Village is the closest, and he sells more in Xingfu Village, so he spends less time in Green Lake Village, and children can spend less time basking in the sun.

He didn't continue to explain, "Go to Green Lake Village."

Green Lake Village is the neighboring village to the east of them, and the lake where they encountered the double-headed snake belongs to Green Lake Village.

Zhang Yan didn't ask Wang Yue to yell again, but after yelling a few times himself, he waited under the shade of the tree at the head of the village.Soon the first child came to buy ice cream. I don’t know how he publicized it. More and more children and young people came to buy ice cream. In less than 10 minutes, all the ice cream and popsicles were sold out. Wang Yue’s little The backpack is already full of money.

After returning home, the two tidied up the money.Both ice cream and popsicles are counted. You can calculate without counting. In less than two hours, the two earned a total of 80 yuan.

The cost of 40 yuan, net profit of 40 yuan.

Wang Yue nodded seriously, "40 yuan a day, 1200 yuan a month. That's right, compared to the monthly wages of many people today.

Capital is high. "

Zhang Yan wasn't sure if he was comforting himself, so he simply didn't express his opinion.

Wang Yue took a notebook and wrote a few strokes.

Zhang Yan leaned over and saw that it read:

Wang Yue - Date - Credited

Zhang Yan——Date——Credit

Wang Yue wrote "25 yuan" in the column of his name, because it was agreed that he would share half of the money he earned today.

Zhang Yan shook his head and let him go.

Wang Yue remembered one thing, and tilted his head to look at him, "Yan Yan, do you think we should set up a public account? Daily expenses, including school fees and so on, will go to the public account."

"Necessary?" Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows.

Wang Yue nodded solemnly, "It's very necessary. First, we can't live in a muddle; second, this is conducive to cultivating our enthusiasm for making money."

Zhang Yan thought about it, and felt that this would be good for both of them.He is confident that he can make more money than Wang Yue, but men have self-esteem, and the two of them share the usual expenses, which is affirmation to Wang Yue; in addition, isn't this more proof that the two are an inseparable family?

"In this way, in the future, if our single income exceeds one hundred, we will put three-fifths into the public account, and if the amount is too small, we don't need it."
