044: The Oil Residue Is Not Enough to Sell!

300 catties of oil residue, only 9 yuan.

If Xia Xiaolan had discovered a business with such a small capital earlier, she would not have started by reselling eggs.

But if she didn't resell eggs, how could she step by step from Anqing County to a commercial city, and how could she find this profitable business? The cost of about 10 yuan, the profit can be 15 yuan. It is very tiring to ride back with 300 jins of oil residue, thanks to the good quality of the 28-bar bicycle in the 1980s, otherwise Liu Yong would have to be used by Xia Xiaolan.

Without the help of the principal and bicycle provided by Liu Yong, Xia Xiaolan would have no means of transportation, and rely on her to manually carry eggs and eels to the commercial city to buy them? That's the money-making copy of hell level difficulty. Xia Xiaolan thinks, take the oil residue as an example, no one thinks of making money from it, but they don't necessarily have a car.

Xia Xiaolan was happy after buying the oil residue, and finally did not have to go back empty, and made use of the one and two trips.

With the oil residue business, she can earn 15 yuan per trip with a load of 300 kilograms. When she comes to the commercial city the next day, she can earn an extra two or three hundred yuan a month out of thin air. The eel business has expanded into a new big customer. She won't need to bring eggs when she goes to the city in the future. She only concentrates on these two things. She can earn nearly 600 yuan a month. The business is done in November, and the cost of her wholesale clothing in Yangcheng is enough.

As long as there is capital, there are too many businesses that can be done in 1983.

I will review my homework in my spare time. I will take the 1984 college entrance examination in July next year. This is the short-term goal that Xia Xiaolan has set for herself.

"The speed of making money is still too slow. If you want to concentrate on the university entrance examination, you must have a sum of money in your hand before the New Year."

Xia Xiaolan carried 300 catties of goods and took a few breaks on the road. The desire to get rid of poverty and become rich supported her mechanically riding her bicycle. Although she was a college student in her last life, she didn't know how difficult the college entrance examination questions in 1984 were and how much she remembered what she had learned. In order to be admitted to university again, she must bury her head and study hard for a few months. At that time, the business in her hand will be temporarily thrown aside. Without any income, she must have a savings that can support half a year.

What is there to make money now?

She could only watch the cigarette business dryly, but couldn't get involved.

If she were a man, she would definitely devote herself to the smuggling business in full swing. The risks are high, but the rewards are amazing. A few votes can definitely accumulate the first pot of gold. But she is not only an 18-year-old girl, but also has a fox face, and goes to smuggle, not to mention the risk of goods, she must be compensated to others together!

Thinking of smuggling, Xia Xiaolan thought of Zhou Cheng inexplicably.

It has been several days since the man left, and he said that he would come to Anqing County, but I don't know if it was true or not. Even the fake Xia Xiaolan was not angry. It was a chance encounter, and Zhou Cheng didn't owe her anything. Instead, she had to thank Zhou Cheng and Kang Wei for their 'life-saving grace'.

Without the energy and capital to expand new business channels, Xia Xiaolan can only make a fuss about the existing resources.

Needless to say about the oil residue, 300 pounds would make her half dead. Unless she becomes a stocky female man in a short period of time, it is impossible to carry more oil residue.

Then only the eel remains.

The Municipal Party Committee Guest House and the Yellow River Hotel just opened a gap. She should use the face she had acquired in her previous life when she ran sales and continue to open up new big buyers.

Now it only sells 50 jin in two days, what about the increase in the two days to 100 jin?

That's an extra $300 a month.

The overall income has increased by 1/3. Xia Xiaolan feels that although this small goal is a bit difficult, it is not impossible to achieve. Today, because I didn't delay in the commercial city, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon when I got home. Liu Fen went out to collect eels, and only Li Fengmei was at home.

There were a lot of dishes prepared for the treat last night, but all the guests could eat it, so where can there be leftovers?

Li Fengmei was stewing crucian carp soup in the earthenware pot on the stove. She was going to wait for her son to drink it when he got home from school in the afternoon. He heard something and found that Xia Xiaolan was back.

"Why is it so early today?"

"Fortunately, everything was collected by the hotel's purchase."

Li Fengmei smelled a familiar smell and found that Xia Xiaolan didn't come back empty, and she also carried two baskets full of oil residue. She was surprised and delighted, "Where did you get it?"

This is probably three or four hundred pounds.

The two pigs at home can't finish it!

Li Fengmei just wanted to say that this thing would not have enough nutrition if it was left for too long, but suddenly thought that no matter how stupid Xia Xiaolan was, she wouldn't buy so many oil residues and put them back. Most of this was used by Xia Xiaolan to make money.

Li Fengmei hurriedly swallowed her words, almost not biting her tongue.

"Are you selling pancakes?"

The oil residues are pressed into cakes, each weighing about two kilograms, and have been fermented in the oil mill.

"Don't run an empty car, just bring in some oil cakes and come back to try. Aunt, didn't you say you can't buy oil cakes, take a bag and decorate it, we will definitely not be short of this thing in the future."

Li Fengmei shook her head again and again.

"It's your money, it's not something you picked up without capital, I don't want it."

Xia Xiaolan didn't take it seriously, "Don't talk about giving money, this stuff is cheaper than sweet potatoes, it only costs 3 cents a pound, and when I get it in the oil mill, it will cost 2 cents a pound. Probably can buy it.”

Li Fengmei thought, wouldn't that make 5 cents if you change hands?

She didn't know that Xia Xiaolan had decided to increase the sales of yellow eel. Given the scale of her business, she could earn several hundred yuan a month.

In less than a year, Xia Xiaolan can build several decent brick houses in the village.

Where is this from the Xia family?

The money-losing goods that are not in production are clearly a golden doll who can make money. If Liu Yong hadn't revealed to Li Fengmei that he still had a sum of money in other people's business, Li Fengmei's aunt might be jealous.

But after thinking about it, the eel business will not be able to do until November, and Li Fengmei is no longer jealous.

She heard that Xia Xiaolan was going to transport the oil cakes to other villages to sell, and she patted her thigh, "Then why don't you sell it to the people in our village first. This thing is just like salt, and everyone who raises pigs lacks it."

Li Fengmei ran out and shouted, and many people really came to buy oil cakes.

Xia Xiaolan gave them 7 cents a pound, which was cheaper than what these people bought before, how could she be dissatisfied?

The 300 catties of oil cakes were almost not enough to sell in Qijing Village, and two other households said that Xia Xiaolan wanted to bring the goods back, so they must keep it for them.

Buying it for the villagers, 300 catties of oil cakes are 3 yuan less, but the gains and losses in the world are not calculated only by money. The people in Qijing Village were very satisfied, and Xia Xiaolan herself was very satisfied. She didn't press any capital, and she made money and favors.

"Oops, I forgot to leave some for the house."

Xia Xiaolan was too busy, and Li Fengmei didn't say she refused. She helped to weigh the oil cakes just now, her hands were greasy, and she was reluctant to pour the water after washing her hands, so she took it and poured it into the pig's trough.

"You have to bring the oil cakes back in two days, so don't be in a hurry."

After finishing the business, Xia Xiaolan took a basin of water and scrubbed the bike clean. The baskets containing the oil residues were also washed and dried, and then she cleaned up herself. Both calves were trembling during the bath. It was obvious that I was using too much force. It is not easy to make money. With 300 kilograms of oil residue, I even rode all the way back to Qijing Village from Shangdu City.

When I became an executive in my last life, my metabolism slowed down as I got older, I didn’t dare to eat too many times, and I had to take time to exercise to keep my body in shape. With her current activity level and age, she really won't gain weight no matter what she eats. The advantage of returning to youth is that people are full of fighting spirit and vitality!

Liu Fen didn't come back until 7pm.

Seeing Xia Xiaolan, she was quite nervous. I don't know why, but there are a lot of people selling eels to her today, and she received more than 80 kilograms of eels.

"Your business is well-known in the Four Miles and Eight Townships. Will there be people who want to follow suit and sell the eel?"

Liu Fen's worries are not superfluous.

Xia Xiaolan was very happy that her mother knew how to think independently.

"They can't sell them in Anqing County, they can only send them to Shangdu. The market in Shangdu is so big that one or two followers can't harm my interests."

Xia Xiaolan no longer plans to go the retail route. After taking over the purchases of the Municipal Party Committee Guest House and the Yellow River Hotel, the doors of other similar units in the commercial city are waving at her from afar.

"I'm not afraid of getting more eels. As long as it doesn't exceed 100 catties a day, I have the confidence to sell them."

Xia Xiaolan was bragging with her mother, and Chen Qing called her outside.

Xia Xiaolan went out, "Brother Chen Qing, why are you back today?"
