In the afternoon, song Dashan fixed the wooden board made by Li Mo on the outer wall of the donkey cart carriage with a rope, and then drove the cart to Uncle Wang's house to pull vegetables.

Song Dashan helped Uncle Wang to move the baskets of vegetables into the car, just when the pile was full, leaving only a vacant seat for Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang didn't get on the bus immediately, but was looking at Song Dashan's wooden board fixed outside the carriage.

Song Dashan asked Uncle Wang with a smile, "Uncle Wang, can you understand the meaning of the board?"

Uncle Wang nodded with a smile, "I understand. Although you Uncle Wang and I don't know the characters, I can understand the painting. I can see at a glance that you are going to use donkey cart to pull goods, right?"

Song Dashan nodded and said with pride, "Uncle Wang, you are right. This is the board made by my daughter-in-law."

Uncle Wang was surprised. "Can your daughter-in-law write?"

Song Dashan nodded, "well, yes, she has learned before, and she can write general words. Now Xiaobao is also taught by her, saying that she wants to enlighten Xiaobao and send him to school when he is old."

Uncle Wang can't help patting song Dashan on the shoulder. "Good boy, you can be regarded as a good daughter-in-law. You are a wonderful daughter-in-law. You should cherish it."

Song Dashan grinned, "of course, I will treat her well."

Uncle Wang looks at Song Dashan's stupidity. It's funny. He is really a young man. He is very warm to his daughter-in-law.

Uncle Wang got into the car, and song Dashan drove to the town.

On the way, Uncle Wang said to song Dashan, "Dashan, you know that Uncle Wang's family now depends on growing vegetables and selling vegetables. From time to time, they have to pull vegetables to the town. It's not cost-effective for Uncle Wang to buy a donkey cart. They usually can't use it, and they don't have the time to use it, so they all plan to rely on your donkey cart to pull vegetables to the town, and then they will trouble you."

Song Dashan said as he drove along: "Uncle Wang, you're welcome. You can take care of my business if you ask me to pull vegetables. You can rest assured that I'll pull vegetables for you at this price in the future, and the price will not rise easily."

Uncle Wang laughed, "thank you, uncle."

Later, Uncle Wang said to song Dashan, "Dashan, Uncle Wang has a business to introduce to you. Let's see if you want to. There is also a farmer who serves food for the restaurant with me. It's also because his son has the opportunity to work in the back kitchen. His family always hire a donkey cart to help them pull the goods. It seems that there is a lot of money every time. If you pay your price, he will certainly be willing to ask you to pull the food. I can help you talk about it then. "

Song Dashan was very happy and asked, "Uncle Wang, where does that family live? Is it far away? "

Uncle Wang said: "that family lives in Xiaoxing village. The distance from the town to their village is similar to that from the town to our village. It's about half an hour's journey from our village to their village. If you help his family pull vegetables, you need to spend half an hour more to go to his home, and then go to the town. Do you want to do that?"

Song Dashan's mind moved. It didn't matter to him to spend half an hour more. He didn't want to. He said immediately, "uncle, thank you so much. I'll trouble you to talk to that family about this. I'll see if he is willing to change my family's goods. I'll give it to him according to 40 Wen a car."

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "if he wants to say that he doesn't want to ask you for your price, it's a fool. Don't worry. Uncle Wang told you when he saw him today that it can basically be done."

When he got to the town, song Dashan drove the donkey cart to the door of the restaurant and helped Uncle Wang move the vegetables down.

When the dishes were almost moved, Uncle Wang came over with a man who was about 50 years old and was swarthy. He said to song Dashan, "Dashan, this is another restaurant supplier I told you. Just call uncle Xing. Lao Xing, this is Dashan. I'm following his donkey cart today."

Song Dashan nodded to the man with a smile and cried, "Uncle Xing."

Uncle Xing nodded and said, "just now your uncle Wang told me about you. Are you willing to pull me vegetables according to 40 Wen per car?"

Song Dashan nodded.

Uncle Xing was more happy than before and said, "Dashan, I'll give you my food in the future. Generally, restaurants deliver food every ten days a month. In order to get away from Uncle Wang, I can be one day behind. Every time you give Uncle Wang a dish, you go to my house and give it to me the next day. Do you think that's ok?"

Song Dashan nodded, "Uncle Xing, that's settled. You tell me your specific address, and I'll go to your house on time to serve you."

It was settled that song Dashan took Uncle Wang back to the village.

Back home, Li Mo was washing the sheets and quilt covers. Song Dashan tied up the donkey cart and quickly came over to pull Li Mo up. "You get up. You can't wash such a big thing. I'll wash it."

Song Dashan pulls Li Mo up, gives all the money he makes today to Li Mo, and then squats down to wash the sheets and quilt covers.

Li Mo smiles, lowers his head and kisses song Dashan's face heavily. "It's so nice to meet you!"

Song Dashan's eyes lit up again.

Li Mo runs back to the room to collect the money.

In the evening, before it was dark, Mei Zi and tie Zi came with the little tree.

"Brother, sister-in-law, tie Zi's injury is almost healed. I told him to have a rest for a while, but he didn't want to stay at home. He had to come to take the burden and sell the goods tomorrow. So we're here. Tomorrow morning we'll go to the town with my brother and buy some snacks. Then we'll go down and sell them. "Li Mo looked at tie Zi and asked, "is it really OK to hurt? You can't be brave. "

Tie Zi patted his shoulder, "sister-in-law, it's really no problem. Originally, it's not a big injury. It's better after so many days' rest. Don't worry. I won't try to be brave."

Song Dashan nodded and said, "you will go to town with me tomorrow morning."

The family had dinner together and went to bed early.

Because the room opposite is occupied by Mei Zi's family tonight, song Dashan has no place to send Xiao Bao, so he has to go to bed in a depressed and orderly way.

Li Mo laughs.

Angry song Dashan kneaded Li mo after Xiao Bao fell asleep.

The next day, song Dashan took tie Zi to town, and Mei Zi stayed at home.

Towards noon, tie Zi and song Dashan came back. Tie Zi came in with a package and opened it on the table. There were all kinds of candy and small cakes inside.

Tiezi took some of each to Xiaoshu and Xiaobao. The rest was wrapped in paper and put into the burden.

Tie Zi said, "in the afternoon, I will go home with a burden. I'll just hawk along the road to see how my business is." Tiezi said, thinking of something, he took out a rattle from the package he brought back and showed it to the public. "Today, I saw someone selling his own rattle, so I bought several. I think children should like to play with it, so I'll try to sell it together. That person gave me a low price and charged me two Wen each. I plan to sell it for three Wen each. If I can sell it, I'll go to town next time I'll buy some on the market

Li Mo nods and affirms tie Zi's way of doing things. "If you see any small things in the future, if you think you can sell them to make money, try to sell them. If you can't, don't sell them. If you can't, just sell them. There are many kinds of things, and they are popular. After that, you go to the old place every other time, and everyone knows you and looks forward to you. Then your business won't worry."

Tiezi thinks the same way. He plans to try more things that are likely to sell well in the future, and try to increase the variety as much as possible, so that villagers or mountain people can buy what they need without going all the way to town.

Li Mo suddenly thought of a thing: generally, people in the village or in the mountains will go to the town to sell some small things, such as eggs, chickens, ducks and geese at home, and food at home. Everyone likes to save them and then sell them in the town. But if tie Zi meets people who want to sell things in the process of selling, he can also buy them at a price slightly lower than that in the town Come here, and then sell it to the town. You can earn money in the middle. It's just that you can sell and receive the goods without delay, and you can earn a cent more.

Li Mo told tie Zi what he thought. Tie Zi also brightened his eyes and nodded, "yes, I can ask if someone wants to sell something in the process of selling things. If so, I can take it back and take it to your house to sell it for me when I go to town. In this way, I can make money without delaying my selling. I share the money equally with my brother."

Song Dashan quickly waved: "I'll sell it for you, but take the money, I don't want it."

Mei Zilian said: "how can we not? We'll take advantage of you. If you want to help us purchase goods, you don't charge us the fare. Now you have to help us sell goods. If you don't charge us the money, tie Zi won't accept the goods at all. Anyway, we don't have time to sell them in the town."

Tie Zi nodded.

Song Dashan is about to speak, Li Mo interrupted him, said: "well, you listen to my sister and brother-in-law, the family also clear accounts, brother-in-law only time to collect, no time to sell, you help him sell, get money you take three points, the remaining seven points to my sister and brother-in-law, so, no one said."

Li Mo made a decision. Mei Zi, tie Zi and song Dashan didn't speak any more. They acquiesced in such a distribution.

At this time, Li Mo continued what he had just said before he could say: "just now, when it comes to collecting things, you can also exchange things for things. Some poor families can exchange things with you, but you should slightly reduce the value of his things to ensure that you can make money."

Mei Zi clapped her hands. "Yes, some people are poor, and I don't think they can come out with money. There are some eggs and food in the family. If they can exchange things, they will certainly be willing to."

Li Mo said to tie Zi, "tie Zi, you're going to sell out or collect more things in the future. Come to your house in the evening and tell your brother that your brother will go to the town the next day and buy what he should buy for you, then sell what he should sell for you, and then come to get the goods and money."

Tie Zi nodded.

The whole family sat down for lunch. After dinner, tie Zi took Mei Zi and Xiao Shu home. Tie Zi was carrying the burden and planned to sell them on his way home. The first place was from this village.

Li Mo and song Dashan simply pick up Xiaobao, lock the door, and follow tie Zi. They can see off their husband and wife and see if they have anything to help. After all, it's the first day, so it's hard to avoid problems.

Tiezi took out a rattle when he went out of the house.

The sound of rattle drum soon attracted many people to look out from the door. At the first glance, tiezi knew that it was the peddler selling goods, and tiezi also timely called out: "selling oil, salt, vinegar, rice, flour, candy, dim sum, sewing toys ~"

tiezi's call was straightforward and easy to understand. Everyone who heard it knew what he was selling, and soon someone gathered around and looked at tiezi curiously It's my burden.When tiezi saw that there were more people, he simply put down the burden, opened the lid, revealed the goods inside, and said to the surrounding people, "what do you want to buy? My price is the same as that in the town. It's not more expensive than that in the town. You can buy it directly from me and save money and go to the town. "

They all looked at the things tiezi sold. Some people saw that they were short of things.

A woman said: "my family is running out of soy sauce. I'm going to make do with it. I'll buy it in town next time. Since you sell it, I'll just buy some, but how do you sell soy sauce? "

Tie Zi took out a special spoon for soy sauce and showed it to the woman, saying, "elder sister, I'll use this spoon to make soy sauce for you. It's five Wen a spoon."

The woman looked at the soy sauce spoon. It's very deep and has a lot of capacity. It seems that it's bigger than the spoon used to sell soy sauce in the town. Generally, it's five Wen a spoon in the town. From this point of view, it's really not expensive for him to sell.

The woman immediately went home, took out the small jar of soy sauce and said to tie Zi, "then give me a spoonful."

"All right." Tie Zi then scooped out a full scoop of soy sauce and put it into the jar for the woman, without any leakage.

When they saw the woman shopping from the peddler, others began to buy. Some wanted to buy some flour, some vinegar, some children wanted adults to buy sugar, some children wanted cakes, and another child fell in love with the rattle and insisted on buying it. Finally, the adults bought one for him, which made the children around unable to move their eyes.

The business is surprisingly good, but tie Zi is only busy, and doesn't ask Mei Zi to help. After all, he has to practice more, and he will sell the goods alone in the future.

When Li Mo sees this, he and song Dashan stand in the distance and watch, but they don't come forward to help. People in the village think that they are also out to see the peddler. Only a few people recognize Mei Zi. When they are curious, they know that the peddler is Mei Zi's husband, and they tell each other that they are acquaintances. They can't pit them, and they even greet each other to buy things.

It took tiezi an hour to greet all the people in Daoyuan village. They bought all the things they should buy. Now they can carry on to the next place.

But tie Zi found that he couldn't go today.

Because a lot of things in the burden have just been sold. Now we have to report them to song Dashan, and then we will go to the town tomorrow to bring some.

Therefore, tie Zi and Mei Zi went back to Li Mo's home.

Do you see a peddler in the village? Everyone is fresh. In addition to the substantial benefits of selling tiezi, many villagers have come to buy it. If they sell it like this, many things will be gone. According to this speed, it is not enough to support the next village, and they will buy it again tomorrow.

Mei Zi and tie Zi were worried about not being able to sell things. They didn't expect that their business would be so good on the first day. It was unexpected.

Plum mouth corner is tilted, and Li Mo squat in the side of the burden to see what things to have no, calculate how much to buy again tomorrow.

Rice flour oil and other things were bought a lot at the beginning. Today, only a part of the burden is filled, and then it can be replenished. That is to say, other things with little stock are almost sold, so we have to buy them again.

Most of the sweets and pastries were sold, and only one rattle was left. Even Lima's ointment was only sold in two boxes. Lima's ointment was directly replenished, and the rest would be restocked in the town tomorrow.

Song Dashan carefully wrote down what he wanted to buy. Tie Zi and Mei Zi went home.

The next day, tie Zi came before noon, still carrying a burden.

Li Mo is surprised, "how to come to take goods now?"

Tie Zi wiped his sweat and said, "yesterday I didn't have much left. When I went back to the mountains, I immediately sold it. I didn't have to go to other villages. Today I didn't sell anything except rice flour oil. I came to wait for my brother to come back and sell it in the afternoon."

Li Mo nods, knows tie Zi's business is good, also is happy for him.

When it was almost noon, song Dashan came back with his donkey cart and took a lot of things from the carriage, which tiezi wanted, several times more than last time.

Tiezi checks one by one, puts the things he bought back into the burden, calculates the price, and gives the money to song Dashan. Then, regardless of Li Mo and song Dashan's request, he runs away without lunch.
