Chapter 228: Earning Money!

As soon as Song Tan laid this out, the vegetable peddler was moved.

Nothing else; years of struggling with the aunts in the vegetable market over those few cents of profit made his calculation ability exceptionally strong.

At this moment, he quickly reached a conclusion—

Based on the amount of vegetables Song Tan brought to the market each time, on average, it was about two or three hundred jin. Occasionally more, but sometimes less.

She didn't come at a fixed time. Sometimes three times a week, sometimes only once or twice.

Just calculate it as twice a week, 8 times a month, 300 jin each time; besides what she had to sell fixedly, this could also yield an extra 480 jin!

Over here, because it would take some time, and vegetables, after all, have some loss.

Based on Song Tan's personality, she definitely wouldn't let her spray more water on the vegetables to add weight. Plus, the old customers, who doesn't want the weight to be sufficient?

"Loss" is calculated as 100 jin, and he could still net 380 jin!

380 jin, 20 yuan per jin, netting 7600 a month.

Although he had to drive to pull the vegetables early in the morning, and maybe hire someone to clean these vegetables—but compared to those good vegetables, can these costs be called costs?

He already had the car himself; even if he didn't go to the mountains to pick up the goods, he would have to go wholesale early in the morning anyway.

As for hiring someone to clean the vegetables... for a vegetable garden of this scale, the vegetables aren't dirty at all; whether to hire or not is another matter.

At most, it's just picking off some yellow leaves and making them look neat and pretty; how much could it possibly cost?

This business is doable!

The vegetable peddler's heart was pounding, but he heard Song Tan say on the other end: "Old Zhao, why don't you help me find someone, preferably someone honest."

"If they shortchange the weight just to earn a few extra bucks for themselves, then I can terminate it at any time."

What words!

Old Zhao was unhappy: "I'm right in front of you, who else do you need to find? In the entire vegetable market, there is no one more honest than Old Zhao!"

Song Tan:...

Her suspicious silence for a moment instantly made Old Zhao unhappy:

"What do you mean by this? We've been setting up stalls together for so long, don't you trust me yet? Your big niece has even gone to live at your house, what else do you want?"

What words; those who know, know Zhao Fangyuan is here to do design at home.

Those who don't know would think she's here to be her daughter-in-law!

"Fine, fine, fine!" Song Tan could only agree.

After getting along for this period of time, Old Zhao was indeed a very reliable person. After all, acquaintances came and went at his vegetable stall, and he had never been seen shortchanging anyone.

At first, some customers didn't trust Song Tan's vegetables and borrowed his scale to test them, and they were all full weight.

"Fine, you're straightforward too."

"If you have time, you can come over in the next two days to learn the way; my mountain road is not easy to walk."

Just kidding!

The vegetable peddler thought to himself: when he bought this car back then, the village-to-village road hadn't even been built yet; he went back and forth to pick up goods, which wasn't harder than now.

It's just that he originally did wholesale business, but later the market was bad, business was hard to do, and to ensure freshness and effectiveness when picking up goods, he had to go back and forth in the middle of the night.

【To be honest, the best app for listening to books is Wild Fruit Reading, install the latest version.】

He couldn't bear the exhaustion.

That's why he sold his large truck to someone else and became a normal vegetable peddler safely and steadily.

Now Old Zhao was burning with enthusiasm!

"I can go this afternoon. My daughter said your food is especially delicious; let me stay for one night, and I'll pull the vegetables back directly tomorrow morning."

Earning money, whoever isn't active is a fool.

Song Tan:...

Fine, continue to find a fellow villager to arrange a place to stay.

Looking at her courtyard, it seems it really is time to rebuild. Day by day, more and more people are coming.

And she had a premonition:

—This kind of life is likely to continue for a long time.

Solving two major events in one morning, Song Tan truly let out a sigh of relief.

Brother Yanping had his own things to be busy with now; it wasn't realistic to accompany her to sell vegetables.

Qiao Qiao still had to attend class, and she was busy selling vegetables and collecting money by herself; she wasn't tired, just a bit tense in rhythm.

Who doesn't want to live a leisurely little life?

Now it's good; distribute all the work, and the money earned hasn't decreased by a cent—perfect.

Just then, the foreman in charge of building the house this time brought people back.

Zhao Fangyuan did the design, beautiful, simple, and fitting for young people.

But the foreman's years of experience didn't come for nothing.

Just wandering around the mountain, under the mountain, in front of and behind the house twice, he even ran to the other side of the road to take a look.

At this moment, he analyzed it to Song Tan one by one:

"To be honest, your design drawing is quite good and fits your house well, it's just much larger than the current place."

"On this side of the mountain, we have to dig a wider trench in advance, first to handle the anti-slip slope, and second to avoid muddy water underneath; the foundation will be more stable then."

"If that's the case, all those things you planted in front of and behind the house will have to be dug up."

Song Tan's current house also had wide trenches behind it, but they were often filled with fallen leaves, and Song Sancheng had to clean them up several times every year.

Building a house in the countryside, there aren't that many requirements. The back mountain was originally just a small hill, but it occupied a large area.

The place next to the house was a slanted gentle slope; no anti-slip slope treatment was done, but no trees were planted either, just some low shrubs and wild grass. It was simple to clean up.

Just expanding outward by two or three meters, the area of the entire house would be quite different.

"Furthermore, there is actually a large open space in front of your courtyard; I heard you plan to level it simply here, to make it convenient for parking or drying things later? Then all that construction waste dug out when tearing down the house can be directly backfilled underneath."

Honestly, building a house in the village is much more convenient than in the city.

"In the city, we have to watch the time for large trucks to enter and exit; here, it's far away, so any time is fine."

"And this little road at the entrance, it should be built by your own family, right? Is it a bit narrow? I see the design drawing indicates it will be widened later—then before widening, move an open space to the left; our workers will eat and live here, do you think it's appropriate?"

Appropriate!

Really calculating it, this large piece of land here all belongs to their own family; using it briefly to build a house is no problem at all.

As for renovating the water and electricity for the old house over there...

"I have a water and electricity master here who will go directly to reinforce it; no need to make it too good. I see that the adobe house over there is not young either; if there are materials left after building, if it's convenient for you, we'll just fix the house over there on the way."

Looking at the design drawing, one knew that the owner building the house this time wasn't short of money.

What this person in charge said was very reasonable, and the person looked very sincere; Song Tan was very convinced by this.

She only had one question:

"Can it be built in three months?" ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
