Chapter 577

After arranging all this, it's the end of the term. Han Mingxiu's final exam is just like a fish in water, and her second summer vacation after going to university is coming.

On the first day of summer vacation, Han Mingxiu took Xiaoqiu and her sisters to Wangfujing Department store to sell orange juice.

In these days, the state's management of vendors is not as strict as that in modern times. Therefore, even if they go to Tiananmen Gate to sell things, they don't have to worry about being driven away, let alone being confiscated by the city management.

Because today is the first day of the stall, Han Mingxiu wanted to explore the way, so he didn't bring them too many oranges, only took 100 Jin.

In addition, she also prepared 20 cups, a bucket of water for cup brushing, and some ice cubes, which were put in the ice cream box prepared in advance.

At the gate of the department store, Han Mingxiu stopped the tricycle, put the things in order, and began to yell loudly: "orange juice, fresh orange juice, twenty cents a cup, everyone come to taste it..."

While shouting, Han Mingxiu took out the juicer, expertly squeezed out a glass of orange juice, and then took some ice from the box and put it in the orange juice.

"Don't miss it when you pass by. It's natural juice with ice. It's good to drink and quench your thirst..."

After Han Mingxiu yelled, many people were attracted. Then, a young man in fashionable clothes took out 20 cents and handed it to Han Mingxiu.

"Comrade, give me a drink."

As soon as Xiao Qiu saw that business was coming, he quickly squeezed a glass of orange juice and excitedly handed it to the young man, "comrade, here you are..."

The young man took the cup and took a sip.

"Well, it's delicious!" After a sip, the young man was immediately surprised by the taste of the juice and gave a thumbs up.

"It's delicious. The taste is incomparable..." as he said, he gulped down the orange juice in the glass.

In order to make the orange juice sell well, Han Mingxiu specially chose the pure transparent glass. In this way, the beautiful color of orange juice can be displayed in front of customers at a glance, causing everyone's desire to buy.

After drinking a cup, the young man felt that he still had more than enough, so he bought another one.

With his live advertising on the spot, people came to buy it constantly, "comrade, give me a drink..."

"I'll have one too..."

The business of the stall is booming all of a sudden. Many people passing by here see that everyone is buying juice around here, so they all come to buy a drink. Anyway, twenty cents is not a big sum, and everyone can afford it.

In this way, one by one, Han Mingxiu and Xiao Qiu are busy squeezing fruit juice for customers. Xiao Si is responsible for collecting money, and Xiao Wu is responsible for brushing cups.

A few people were very busy. In less than two hours, they sold all the oranges of one hundred jin, and they licked their lips with regret.

"Look, sister-in-law, we've sold out of juice!" Xiao Qiu, while packing the boxes, exclaimed excitedly, "can you tell your friends that if we get more oranges every day, 100 Jin is not enough to sell!"

Xiao Si tightly covered her satchel and said excitedly: "yes, according to this sales method, we can sell three or five hundred jin a day without any effort."

"Yes, yes, it's not very hot these days. If it gets hot after a few days, our juice will sell better." Xiaowu also said excitedly.

When Han Mingxiu saw the excited look of his younger sister-in-law, he was also very happy that he could do something for them, so he said with a smile, "OK, I'll tell him tomorrow and let him prepare 500 Jin for us one day. I think we can sell it to 500 Jin in this hot Chengdu, but we don't have to ask. If we can't sell it, we'll take it back and drink by ourselves."

When Xiao Qiu heard that she couldn't take it back, she threw her braid and said firmly, "sister-in-law, we can sell it, we can sell it! If we can't sell it, we won't go back to our dorm. We'll go back when it's sold out. "

Although it's summer vacation, their sisters still live in school.

Because it is a technical school, the main place to learn technology, it is not the same as those schools to learn cultural knowledge. During the summer vacation, there are still some classes in the school, so the dormitory and canteen are not closed. In Xiaoqiu, they can continue to live in the dormitory and eat in the school canteen.

As soon as Han Mingxiu hears Xiaoqiu say that she won't go back if she can't sell all the oranges, she knows that the child is reluctant to leave the oranges, but Xiaoqiu and her friends are all girls after all. It's not good to go back too late. It's too late. It's very likely that you'll meet bad people. Even if you don't meet bad people, the girl's family will always go back so late and suffer intangible cultural heritage.

So, Han Mingxiu gave them a death order: every night before 9 o'clock must return to the dormitory, whether sold out or not! If you can't finish the sale, keep it for tomorrow. If the time of the night is put off, throw it away.

Just a few oranges, which is more important than the safety of girls?

Although they were reluctant to throw oranges, they all listened to their sister-in-law's words. Since her sister-in-law asked them to do so, they only reluctantly agreed.

When they went back to the quadrangle courtyard to deliver the tricycle, their aunt and sister-in-law counted the money they made today.

A hundred jin of oranges, no more, no less, just made ten yuan.

It only took them more than two hours to earn ten yuan, which is almost as much as what they earned when they worked in their hometown for a month.

The next morning, Han Mingxiu went to the siheyuan on the other side of the turret, and put 500 Jin oranges in the wing room of the siheyuan. Xiaoqiu and her family came to the siheyuan to pick up the goods at about eight o'clock.

Because orange juice is not like other kinds of food, you don't have to go out too early, and few people want to drink it in the early morning. Basically, you can go out at eight or nine o'clock.

It's hot now. It's eight or nine o'clock when they go out. They can go out at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Their sisters can take turns to rest when they are not busy. In this way, they won't be too tired, and it won't affect making money. They kill two birds with one stone.

Han Mingxiu only went out with them for one day and never went to the stall again. After all, this is their own career, and she has completed her responsibility by guiding them on the road.

If she follows them every day, one is that she doesn't have so much time, and the other is that Xiaoqiu will have psychological burden.

If she works with them, Xiaoqiu will definitely want to give her a share of the money they earn. If Han Mingxiu doesn't want the money they give her, they will feel guilty and feel sorry for her. Therefore, from the next day, she will let them work alone.

In addition to every morning to the corner of the courtyard to send a fruit, every two nights to go there to collect a "purchase capital," the rest, basically don't worry about Han Mingxiu.

It can be seen that their sisters are very active and surprised by their income.

Once when she went to collect money, Xiao Qiu said excitedly to her, "sister-in-law, I never dreamed that I could make so much money doing business! Otherwise, I'll sell juice all my life. I think it's more profitable than being a tailor. "

Han Mingxiu immediately corrected her thinking and said, "you can't just look at the immediate interests. If you look at the immediate interests, selling fruit juice is really better than making clothes, but selling fruit juice is not a long-term solution. It's only these two months in a year that fruit juice can sell well. After these two months, who will drink fruit juice?"

"What's more, your skill of clothing cutting is your skill, which can be used to support your family at any time. However, the business of selling fruit juice is subject to certain conditions. If it is beyond the scope of the conditions, you can't do it. So, it's better to have one skill in hand."

After listening to Han Mingxiu's words, Xiao Qiu gives up the idea of dropping out of school to sell juice. She just secretly made up her mind that even if she went back to school in the future, she could come out and sell juice for a while in the evening. She would not give up such a lucrative business easily

At present, the industry selling orange juice is the only one in the capital, and the price of orange juice is not expensive, and the taste is sweet, so the business is very good.

The three sisters sell a lot every day. They can sell out 500 Jin of oranges every day. That is to say, they earn 50 yuan every day.

Only a week after the holiday, their sisters saved hundreds of yuan. In addition to the tuition money that Han Mingxiu paid them in advance, there is still a sum left.

One day, it rained heavily. Because of the heavy rain, they couldn't go out to the stall. Xiaoqiu's sisters came to Gao Da Ye's house together and gave Han Mingxiu the tuition money he paid for them.

Jianfeng brother and sister-in-law helped them out of the tiger, arranged their future, and helped them earn so much money. They really appreciate their brother and sister-in-law.

They don't want to owe their sister-in-law too much, otherwise they will have a psychological burden, so now that they have money, they hurry to return the money to their sister-in-law.

When he came to Uncle Gao's house, Han Mingxiu was sitting at home reading the letter.

The letter was written by the elder sister. Since the elder sister and her family came back from the capital, the frequency of communication between the two sisters became more frequent. When they came to the capital, the elder sister was more knowledgeable and cheerful than before. Even the letter was longer than before.

In this letter, the elder sister told her about her family's problems.

First of all, the eldest sister's family has built a new house. The original three Adobe houses in the family have been turned into five big ridged red brick houses. Now if they go back to their hometown, they will have a place to live, so they don't have to go to grandma's house to find lodging.

In addition, Xiaojing, the eldest daughter of the old uncle's family, is engaged. An inspector of the target town grain store is scheduled to get married on the sixth day of next month. The old uncle specially tells Han Mingcui to let her try to inform Han Mingxiu so that Han Mingxiu can come back to attend the wedding.

It's impossible for Han Mingxiu to go back.

Although she is now in the summer vacation period, there is nothing wrong, but she is not willing to run back and forth.

It's mainly because her relationship with the old uncle's family is not so good that she has to go back for their family's sake. Although the old uncle was ok with her when she lived in the village, it was only OK. He didn't help her this lonely niece too much. Just like when she was forced to marry Zhang Er donkey by her grandmother, when she was angry and hit the wall, her uncle didn't help her.

So, Han Mingxiu just remitted some money to them and went back with them to do his best.

There is no need to be too close as long as the relationship between some relatives can be maintained until it is "OK". Only those relatives who have experienced the test are worthy of being treated and maintained with heart, and those who have not passed the test are not worthy of paying more attention.

In the letter, the elder sister also told her a gossip.

This gossip is the most popular one in the whole commune, that is, Secretary Gao has been removed.

It's hard to say the reason. It's because Secretary Gao had an improper relationship with a woman.

It is said that Secretary Gao and that woman have been together for several years. Since the death of secretary Gao's wife, he has been running with that woman's broken shoes. Recently, unfortunately, he was blocked in the quilt by the old woman's husband. Then the woman's husband got angry and picked up Secretary Gao and beat him up.

Secretary Gao is in his fifties, and he is used to being respectable. He can't beat a man in his thirties. He was beaten to death by the man who was so anxious that he just threw it on the street for everyone to watch.

It was exposed.

As a commune cadre, he has made such a low-level mistake, which has brought a very bad impact on the society and seriously affected the prestige of Party members and cadres in the hearts of the masses. Of course, the higher authorities will not tolerate him.

So he was relieved of his post as commune secretary and let him go home to be an old farmer.
