Chapter 78, Back to the Countryside
Lin Yi smiled and said nothing about Wu Jingxiu's words.
I calculated the profit, because there was no discount this time (the price was rising wildly during the Chinese New Year, and the supermarket naturally would not discount), so there was a profit margin of up to 33%, and the net profit was still considerable.
520,000 yuan, and then throw away more than 40,000 gifts from the promotional activities, and there are still 475,000 yuan. This is the net profit in January, that is, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.
"Have you sold so many shopping cards this month?" Jiang Hua was shocked by the supermarket turnover and quickly calmed down. In fact, at that moment, she regretted asking to leave.
But she still held it over, so she pretended to read other reports casually, but the 300,000 shopping card really scared her.
Because she often ran to Xiangtan during this period and also had to take care of BBK Electronics, she was so surprised that she stayed in supermarkets this month.
"This shopping card has been sold very crazy recently. Many people have bought it in big ways." At this time, Xu Bing, who was rooted in the front line, interjected, but everyone understood his hidden meaning at once.
Who can buy a shopping card with a large amount? It must be the unit. This thing is also a magical tool for sending blessings during the Chinese New Year.
After calculating the accounts, Lin Yi called out Jiang Hua, Wu Fangfang and Hou Fugui alone.
In fact, at this time, I have said everything I should say, and I have already explained what I have to say, but Lin Yi still communicated some of his thoughts with everyone.
At the end, he took out three envelopes from his backpack and handed them to the three of them in turn: "Thank you for the hard work in the past six months."
Wu Fangfang accidentally glanced at the three envelopes and found that there was no signature, which meant that it was the same. She took it with a little excitement.
After touching her, according to her experience in dealing with money over the past six months, she should have 5,000.
Five thousand, think about it, five thousand, putting it in the past, it was a savings of several years, but now it is a half-year bonus. Wu Fangfang is really calm inside.
This money is different from what I handled before. It belongs to her. At this moment, she felt that her life had hope and her blood was boiling.
Restraining his excitement, Wu Fangfang glanced at the other two, and then gave Lin Yi a grateful look.
Lin Yi nodded and said to her: "Thank you for your hard work during the Chinese New Year."
She and Guan Ping are the top figures in Lin Yi's arrangement for on-site supermarkets, one is responsible for daily operations and the other is responsible for safety work.
Hou Fugui, Jiang Hua and others came after the second year of the junior high school, but they would not be idle either and had other tasks in the provincial capital.
Riding on Honda Old A, with chicken, duck, fish and three fresh chicken, duck, fish and some other products in the supermarket, Lin Yi went to his aunt's house.
My aunt's family is very lively this year, and all three sons and one daughter have brought their whole family back for the New Year.
As soon as Lin Yi entered, he shouted sweetly all the way. Before he could say a few more words to Sister Yangjuan, his eldest uncle asked, "Do you have any contact with that beast?"
When Lin Yi heard that Yang Hua was called a beast again, he grinned and shook his head: "Brother Hua may have gone on a trip, and I am waiting for news about him."
"This one is killed by a thousand swords." After hearing this, my uncle paused expressionlessly, and when he turned around, he hated him for not being able to speak five words.
However, the aunt who happened to be brought out of tea heard it. Seeing this, Lin Yi quickly fled. It can be foreseeable that a suppressed war of words would definitely break out.
"I have to go back so late, so I won't stay for the New Year?" Yang Juan and his wife didn't match the atmosphere at home, so they came out to see Lin Yi off and escaped the war and had some breathing.
"I have to go back, happy New Year, see you again." Lin Yi blinked his eyes and left without waiting for a reply.
It is said that it will be snowy and winter on New Year's Eve, and the weather is gloomy and cold people will tremble to have the atmosphere of the New Year.
No matter how bad it is, if it is windy and rainy, it will be called the New Year.
I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune, but when Lin Yi drove to two-thirds of the road, it really started to rain.
Although it is not too big, it is not in a hurry. But with the wet and cold wind, Lin Yi's palms with bulging clothes feel cool.
Maybe it's like memory, it's going to snow heavily. Lin Yi said this in his heart, and his thoughts recalled the past.
I have been alone this year, so why bother myself so uncomfortable? When the rain gets heavier and my whole body is moist and not warm, Lin Yi has a moment of thinking that this home is optional, so why bother to persevere?
However, when I think of my grandfather's old yard, the two black and white photo frames on the shrine, and the two old men's protection for themselves, Lin Yi's mood calmed down again.
The rural road is very narrow, with more gravel on the ground and messy. If you accidentally run the tire from this stone, you are forced to jump from this stone to that stone.
In the eyes of others' envy, we walked along the way, but there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the families on the roadside were busy hanging lanterns and pasting couplets.
Occasionally, a few naughty boys threw a cannon at Lin Yi, but before Lin Yi changed his face, he heard the parents who killed chickens and plucked their feathers suddenly raised their voices.
Then, a perfect performance ended. Lin Yi couldn't stop carefully, and the child was hiding away. The fierce parents just now watched Lin Yi go away and bowed their heads to start working.
This cycle goes on and on.
If someone really cares about it, he will definitely be choked: Who didn’t grow up like this?
Back at the intersection again, Lin Yi looked at the time, and there were seventeen minutes more than usual.
With his feet on the ground, Lin Yi found a few children huddled under the eaves of his house. He was arching his butt and concentrated on dismantling a long string of firecrackers. At the other end, there were many broken firecrackers and paper scraps left at the bumpy mud corridor.
Obviously, they "bullyed" Lin Yi and were not at home and regarded this place as a playground.
"Li Qiang, do your mother know that you are so noisy?" I felt like I hadn't seen these kind little kids for a long time. Lin Yi untied the rope and unloaded things.
"I know, my mother said she would come to your house to argue." Li Qiang didn't even look back, and he was still dismantling the firing line one by one.
"Li Qiang!" Hearing this truth, Lin Yi suddenly raised his face and raised his voice.
"Oh, run quickly." At this time, the children finally pretended to see Lin Yi, and then several people put firecrackers into their pockets in a few seconds, turned around and ran away.
A furious voice, "Stinky egg, you took my cannon."
A quibbling voice, "I didn't take it, Li Qiang robs the most, so I'll ask him for it."
A man with only his back left, "I don't..."
…
When a few people fled, they did not forget to make a fuss about the uneven distribution of the spoils.
Lin Yi felt a little tired after moving it. He didn't care about the wet clothes, so he bowed to the black and white illumination on the shrine, saying, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm back." Then he burned three incense sticks before he took off the clothes to change.
"You can't say hello?" After changing his clothes, Lin Yi walked out of the door while buttoning his buttons.
However, Na Zhen, who was wearing a big red tweed coat, was bent down to check the bags in Lin Yi's main hall.
"Isn't it the same if you say hello or not?" He opened a plastic bag, took out a bag of snacks from it, looked at it, and threw it back.
"Have you killed your chicken?"
"..." Na Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to such unnutritional words, but when he found a ham, he looked around and looked at it a few times, "How much does it cost to buy this one?"
"I don't know, it was given by someone else." Lin Yizhen couldn't remember the price of this ham, so she took it from the supermarket casually.
Maybe he didn't find someone interested, so Na Zhen stood up and finally looked at Lin Yi directly, "I thought you were not back for the New Year, why is it so late?"
"I went to the provincial capital." Lin Yi looked at the rainy curtain outside that suddenly became heavy, and said to Na Zhen: "Help me catch the chicken."
Killing chickens and ducks is a necessary skill for rural children, but everyone will experience this scene.
Either the chicken is killed but not much blood is flowing out; or the chicken can continue to breathe after only cutting the esophagus.
What's even more terrifying is that even though the duck was killed, the throat was cut with scissors, but it was still able to jump around.
The custom is to kill a rooster that is chirping during the Chinese New Year, preferably a red rooster, which represents prosperity.
Kill the chicken, pluck the feathers, break the belly, rub the sausage with salt, and take one set of steps, it will only take half an hour.
Lin Yi was busy throughout the whole process, and Na Zhen occasionally started to do it, such as adding a few pieces of firewood to the stove, handing a bowl, etc. The two of them chatted without saying a word during the whole process.
For example, in Na Zhen's internship, she chose CCTV, but she was just a financial channel, and she became a low-level intern.
But she vaguely revealed that she might continue to study for a master's degree after the internship. However, she was also hesitating, and Lin Yi, who was busy, did not take on this.
Also, she helped Lin Yi pay attention to the Siheyuan incident, which was a bit difficult, but it was also hopeless.
When it comes to antiques, Na Zhen said that this is fine, but she said that after the New Year, she would get those things first, so as not to have too many dreams.
The two of them didn't say anything special, but they felt that they had everything in every aspect of life.
In the middle, Na Zhen asked him: "Does the bookstore make money?"
"It's OK. I think I will never have to worry about having this bookstore in my life."
"Is that right? But one of my roommates runs a noodle restaurant. The business was very good in the first year, and many diners said it tasted good.
But the next year was getting worse. My roommate told me that in the first year, they were the only one in the community. Later, there were more and more noodles and noodle shops, and the people made them better than theirs.”
"Oh, can't I make me happy to have the New Year?" Lin Yi was also convinced by the sister next door, and he made a lot of sense.
"Let's go." Na Zhen, who had a calm expression, said a little sleepy, and then left quickly without being bound by his master when he came and went.
