After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 138 Business is open

The next morning, Lan Xin washed up and started to boil water to cook tea eggs.

The first day of the tea egg business has to be done seriously.

Lan Xin picked out two hundred eggs for the first pot, and planned to let Chen Baoni and the others take fifty tea eggs each to sell to see the market situation first.

The small double-handled aluminum pot was too small to boil two hundred eggs, so Lan Xin had to use the newly bought large aluminum pot to boil the eggs.

"Oh, I originally intended to use it to boil water for bathing." Lan Xin muttered as she put the washed eggs into the pot.

Lan Qing, who came to help, smiled innocently: "Then why not just use the small pot to boil water?"

Lanxi pointed at the double-handled aluminum pot that was originally used to cook tea eggs. Lanxin's mouth twitched and she looked disgusted.

"If I use that pot to boil water for bathing, I will smell like tea eggs."

The smell of the tea eggs was so overbearing. The pot had only been used to cook the tea eggs three times, but now the whole pot was filled with a strong smell of tea eggs.

Lan Xin had no doubt that if she used this pot to boil water for a bath, she could turn into a human-shaped tea egg.

"When you come back from the city today, just buy me a new pot." As she said that, Lan Xin took the time to give Lan Xi the money for the kettle, and Lan Xi took it and put it away.

"Sister, just wait for me to buy you a great pot!"

Lan Xin chuckled, "Okay, I'll be waiting. How's your bike?"

Speaking of this, Lanxi showed a proud expression on her face, "I made an agreement with my brother that I would rent his bicycle for three yuan a month!"

"Wow, you can do it." Lan Xin was surprised. She didn't expect that Lan Xi rented a bicycle from Lan Qing's family.

When Chen Baoni got married, the dowry she brought was a bicycle that was 80% new. Lan Qing was so proud of it that after the marriage, she rode the bicycle around Lanjia Village several times to show off.

This is the coolest thing for Lan Qing, a stuffy and old-fashioned person.

I didn't expect that he was willing to rent the bicycle to Lanxi.

Lan Xi tilted her head back, revealing her double chin, and laughed dryly, "I begged my elder brother for a long time. He made it and promised not to damage the car before he lent it to me."

According to Lan Qing's loving nature towards his younger brother, if he wanted other things, he would just ask for them. But now he wants to rent the bicycle to Lan Xi. He must feel sorry for the bicycle and wants to use this as an excuse to get Lan Xi to pay more attention and cherish the bicycle as much as he does.

Chen Baoni was going to the mountain to sell tea eggs, and she couldn't ride the bicycle up there. Lan Qing and the others were going to harvest rice in a few days, and after a busy farming season, they wouldn't be able to use the bicycle, so they rented it to Lan Xi.

After all, the Lan family really dotes on their younger brother Lanxi, allowing him to skip harvesting rice this summer and instead sell tea eggs to earn tuition fees.

When the eggs were cooked, Lanxi was knocking on the cracks with a large spoon. Then, the sound of a tractor came from outside Lanxin's door, accompanied by Aqing's voice.

"Sister Lan Xin, Sister Lan Xin."

Lan Xin opened the gate and went out to take a look. It was indeed A Qing and his brothers who came. In the back compartment of the green-painted tractor, there were boxes of soda piled up.

Ah Qing jumped off the tractor and greeted Lan Xin with a smile. He pointed to a young man who had parked nearby and said, "Sister Lan Xin, this is my brother Xie Shaowu. He works in the soda factory. Just tell him how much soda you want."

"Okay, what kind of sodas are available and what are their prices?" Lan Xin looked at the sodas in the carriage with shining eyes. Looking at the words printed on them, there were quite a few brands, and they all sounded familiar.

"There are Arctic Ocean, Jianlibao, and No. 2 Factory..." Xie Shaowu parked the car and pointed at the soda in the car.

"There are quite a lot. Do you have any Coke?" Lan Xin nodded and asked.

Xie Shaowu shook his head with a bitter face: "That imported stuff is very expensive, three times the price of this soda. I don't have it here, but I can find it for you if you want it."

"Do you want it?" Xie Shaowu looked at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin shook her head. Of course, she would sell the one with the widest acceptance. Coke has not yet completely penetrated the domestic market and become the dominant beverage. Just buy some for yourself and forget about selling it.

After asking a few questions, Lan Xin thought for a while and finally said, "I'll order 30 boxes of Arctic Ocean first. This quantity is enough for the preferential price, right?"

Although there are many brands available, Lan Xin still chooses the one she drinks the most. It's not like they run a store that sells only soda, they just sell it with tea eggs to quench thirst in the mountains.

There are so many brands that it’s hard to choose. It’s better to just buy one. If you buy in large quantities, you can negotiate the price.

"Thirty boxes is a lot."

Hearing this number, Xie Shaowu looked at Lan Xin in surprise.

He had never seen many people who dared to take such a large quantity of soda at the first time. Especially in Lanjia Village, which was far away from any other village or shop. It was quite bold to sell soda in a small store in this small mountain village and take so much goods at one time.

"Yes, how much?" Lan Xin nodded.

Xie Shaowu gave Lan Xin a price. Lan Xin thought about it and was willing to accept it. It was quite favorable. Finally, he said, "We need to recycle the soda bottles. You need to pay a deposit."

"Okay, come back and pick it up in ten days."

Lan Xin knew that soda now comes in glass bottles, not plastic bottles, and they all need to be recycled, disinfected and reused.

She estimated that Sanqing Mountain should be able to consume thirty boxes of soda, and she conservatively said it would take ten days.

Xie Shaowu's eyes widened when he heard this. "Don't scare me. My road is not easy to travel. I won't come if it's only one or two boxes."

In this mountain village, Xie Shaowu really didn't believe how many bottles of soda could be sold in these ten days.

Although the wholesale price he sold to Lan Xin was not high, the price of soda itself was not low. Villagers were rarely willing to spend money to buy soda. With the money, they would rather buy wine.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you make a wasted trip." Lan Xin assured.

"Do you have thirty boxes of Arctic Ocean in your car?" Lan Xin said suspiciously, looking at the soda in the tractor compartment. Don't say it's good, it would be funny if there weren't so much soda.

Xie Shaowu was still clear about how much soda was in the car, "There were just this many boxes."

After saying that, he and Aqing moved all the soda out of the car, moved it into the yard and placed it in the thatched hut.

Looking at this desolate courtyard, Xie Shaowu still found it hard to believe that Lan Xin could sell all thirty boxes of soda in ten days, and he muttered to himself.

For my brother's sake, if it really can't be sold and it's still before the expiration date, I'll make an exception and return it to Lan Xin.

Who knew that at this time, Lan Xin reminded him again: "Ten days later, if you come here, remember to bring another thirty boxes of Arctic Ocean."

Hearing this, Xie Shaowu's eyes widened even more, almost falling out, but after receiving the money for the goods from Lan Xin, he nodded with a smile. Who cares? He just has to sell it anyway, he has already reminded her.

As soon as Aqing and the others left, Chen Baoni's three sisters-in-law came over carrying a pair of winnowing baskets, and were surprised to see the soda.

"Hey, where did this soda come from?"

Lanxi sipped the sweet drink and said, "I bought it wholesale. I said that when we are in the mountains, we can sell tea eggs and soda at the same time."

"Is it possible to be like this?" Chen Baoni and others expressed that they were greatly surprised.

Soda can be sold in the mountains? Why haven't they seen it before?

Lan Xin drank her soda with a smile on her face. Of course, no one thought of this for a while.
