Chapter 152 Reunion with He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan

Sun Shan asked eagerly, "Second cousin, where do you think we can sell it?"

Is there any wholesale market? I can just sell it directly to the merchants in the wholesale market.

Sun Shan had a classmate whose family grew vegetables and sold them. I remember he said that he got up before dawn every day to pick the vegetables. After picking a truckload of vegetables, he would transport them directly to the vegetable and fruit wholesale market. Vegetable vendors would then come to look at the vegetables. If they were satisfied, they would take the whole truckload away and then wholesale them to smaller sellers.

Sun Shan wanted to sell flowers this way instead of setting up a stall and selling them slowly. Although the prices were lower, he didn't have to spend time and he didn't have to waste money.

He Shuyu thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about how to sell flowers. We do have a market that specializes in selling flowers here. The flower sellers in Hejia Village all get their goods there. I need to ask my family about this."

Sun Shan understood it clearly, but different trades are like different mountains. If you are not in this trade, how can you know clearly? So you still have to find out clearly.

He Shuyu suddenly said, "Shanzi, you can try to sell it in Hejia Village and see if you can sell it. As for the flower market, let me ask clearly first."

Sun Shan was not good at doing business. He was thin-skinned and not good at talking. He especially hated bargaining and was afraid to go out to sell things. He shook his head and said, "Second cousin, it's better to sell it directly to others and sell it all at once."

He Shuyu also knew that Sun Shan was a reserved person, unlike De Ge'er who liked to talk, so he nodded and said, "I'll ask my family tonight and tell you."

Sun Shan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Second cousin, if you sell it, I'll give you a share of the profits."

He Shuyu was happy and tapped Sun Shan's forehead: "Hey, how much can you give me? I want a lot."

Sun Shan held up a finger and said, "I'll give you 10%. I'll give you 10% of whatever you sell."

I don’t know whether this is a lot or a little, but I’ll give you 10% anyway.

He Shuyu shook his head: "Forget it, I was just kidding you."

Sun Shan asked again, "Second cousin, how much do you think my flowers cost per pot?"

Sun Shan planned to set the price at 25 wen per pot, which was neither expensive nor cheap, and the flower vendor could earn 5-10 wen. It was affordable for middle-class families.

If you can buy all of them at once, the price can be reduced to 20 cents per pot.

I can earn 2000 taels from 40 flower pots. Excluding the 10 taels for the flower pots, farmyard manure, and shed building, I can still make 30 taels.

As for labor, I didn't count it. In this era, the least valuable thing is labor, and if you do it yourself, you get what you earn.

It was good enough for an ordinary farmer to save 5 taels of silver in a year. Sun Shan saved 30 taels of silver at one time, which was considered profitable.

He Shuyu didn't understand either. He thought about the potted oranges he bought for the New Year. A slightly larger pot cost 200 wen, and the two pots displayed in the store cost a total of 500 wen.

As for the colorful chrysanthemums surrounding the bottom as a backdrop, each pot costs 20 cents.

The hydrangeas grown by Sun Shan are a rare variety in winter. They are not seen in the market, and the flowers are so beautiful and pleasing to the eye, so they should be sold at a higher price.

He said seriously, "I think one pot will sell for 50 wen."

Sun Shan was shocked. Why is it so expensive? A pound of pork is only 10 wen, and a pot of flowers is 50 wen. Is the second cousin's estimate too outrageous?

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Second cousin, is it too expensive?"

He Shuyu had never sold flowers before, so he was a little hesitant: "Shanzi, how much do you plan to sell a pot for?"

Sun Shan answered truthfully: "I have to sell a pot for at least 20 wen to make a profit. As for how much, I don't know."

He Shuyu understood that the price of 20 cents was much lower than expected and should be easier to sell.

He patted Sun Shan's little shoulder and said, "I'll ask Grandpa to come over tonight. He knows more about it."

Sun Shan said gratefully, "Thank you, second cousin. I'll give you a share of the profits from the sale."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside. Sun Shan knew who was coming when he heard the voice before he saw the person.

Soon two little fat men appeared in front of them. Who else could it be except He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan?

He Shuqiang ran over quickly, panting and shouting loudly: "Brother Shan, you are here."

Then he saw He Shuyu and added, "Brother Yu, you are here too?"

He Chunyuan, who was following behind, ran over happily. He wanted to call out "Brother Shan", but when he saw the hydrangeas all over the yard, he cheered in surprise: "So many flowers, so beautiful."

He Shuyu said to the two siblings, "How did you know Shanzi was coming?"

He Shuqiang replied with a smile: "Brother Han, Brother Yao told me."

He complained to Sun Shan, "Brother Shan, when did you come? Why didn't you come to play with me? I came to find you as soon as class was over."

Sun Shan looked at He Shuqiang carefully. He had grown taller, fatter, and had more flesh on him. He was thriving and looking more and more like his grandfather and father.

As for He Chunyuan who was flying among the flowers, she was taller than two years ago, but also fatter, with a round face and a round body, and even two round little flower buds on her head. Oh, she was the female version of He Shuqiang.

Sun Shan hadn't seen He Shuqiang for a long time, and was delighted to see him again. He smiled and said, "I just got here yesterday. I was waiting for you to finish class today, so I came to play with you."

He Chunyuan touched the hydrangeas on his left and right, tilted his round head and asked, "Brother Yu, Brother Shan, where did these flowers come from? I love them so much."

As expected, every girl likes flowers. The colorful sea of ​​flowers can make girls dizzy.

He Shuyu pointed at Sun Shan and said, "These flowers were planted by Shanzi in Sunjia Village. They look beautiful, don't they?"

He Chunyuan nodded vigorously: "Beautiful, Brother Shan, your flowers are very beautiful."

Her eyes are shining as she looks at you. Even if you are slow-witted, you know that the little girl wants flowers.

Just take it if you want it. Anyway, you grow it yourself, so the cost is low.

Sun Shan said to He Chunyuan, "Sister Yuan, whichever pot do you like? I'll give it to you."

After hearing this, He Chunyuan smiled so hard that his whole face looked like a pale steamed bun, which looked festive.

Pointing to a blue pot, a red pot, and pots of different colors, he said, "Brother Shan, this pot, this pot, and these, I like them all."

He Shuqiang couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly, "No, you can't like so many. You can only choose one. You have to sell these flowers."

He turned to Sun Shan and said, "Brother Shan, are you bringing it here to sell?"

Sun Shan nodded.

He Shuqiang looked like he was saying, "Look, I got it right." He patted his chest and said righteously, "Sister, did you hear me? You can only take one pot. The others must be exchanged for money. Girls should not be greedy."

He Chunyuan felt wronged when his brother said this. It was so embarrassing to say it in front of so many people. His eyes were red.

Sun Shan quickly said, "Yuan Jie'er, don't listen to your brother. If you like it, take it. You can also give me a few more pots. I planted them, so they are not worth much."

After hearing this, He Chunyuan stopped crying and laughed. She looked at He Shuqiang proudly and continued to choose flowers.

Sun Shan warned him: "Although these flowers are beautiful, they are poisonous. Do not eat the leaves, rhizomes, and petals."

He Chunyuan nodded hastily and said, "I understand, Brother Shan, flowers are for appreciation, not for eating. I won't eat them."
