049: smashing our jobs
"Hey, nothing else?"
Hu Li didn't hear the second half of the sentence and asked instead.
"It's okay." Zhao Peng changed the subject calmly: "By the way, you didn't tell me about your simulation results for this week last night?"
Hu Li curled her lips, "What's there to say about my grades? It's not like some top academics who have perfect scores in all subjects, nor a handsome young man who is in the top ten in all three subjects."
"If I guessed correctly, is that handsome young man here?"
"Pfft! Zhao Peng, you are so shameless." Hu Li was amused by Zhao Peng's aura of telling lies, and she was no longer so sad about her poor results.
"The total score is 362 points. Only Chinese language is 76 points, which is barely passing. Politics is 70 points, which is two points short of passing. However, chemistry has improved. It used to be 20 or 30 points. This time I scored 68 points."
“Really good!”
Zhao Peng expressed his sincere appreciation. He was very satisfied with the improvement in his chemistry score by more than 30 points in one week. As long as he has a certain foundation, continues to strengthen through exams, and corrects mistakes, it is not impossible to achieve a score of more than 100 points in the future.
After all, junior high school chemistry is really simple.
If my Chinese language score can reach 76, I will definitely be able to score 90 points if I write a good composition by then. Combining politics with current affairs, it is not impossible to score 80 points.
What's left is that English needs to memorize words to improve the score space.
Finally, there are only mathematics and physics left. Try to take the exams as much as possible. This time, the two subjects add up to 90 points. As long as you can get an extra ten or twenty points by then, you can achieve your goal.
"You must be laughing at me in your heart. This score is just half of Lun Shuang's score." Hu Li suddenly said coldly.
Suddenly happy, suddenly disappointed.
"It doesn't matter, you are not in the comparison range. Just like college entrance examination, some people can go to Qinghua University and Yanda University, and some people can only go to a junior college. It cannot be said that people who go to junior college are inferior to those who go to Qinghua University and Yanda University.
Isn't it, as long as we try our best to learn and learn the upper limit of what we can achieve?"
"Well, Zhao Peng, you are always so optimistic."
Zhao Peng smiled and watched Hu Li squatting beside her, putting the broken eggs into a whole plate, and couldn't help but rub her head.
"Because no matter how you live, it is just one day. Whether you are happy or not, this day will not be different, so why don't we make ourselves happy?"
Hu Li nodded in understanding, completely unaware that Zhao Peng's hand had rubbed her head.
With Hu Li's help, Zhao Peng finished cleaning up at around 9 o'clock. The two of them looked at the neatly arranged eggs and both showed satisfied smiles.
Zhao Peng suddenly saw some dust on Hu Li's nose, so he gently wiped it off with his thumb. Unexpectedly, his thumb was even dirtier, and instead wiped dust all over Hu Li's face.
"Are you acting like a hooligan again? Don't you see me kicking you?" Hu Li just said that, but in fact her feet didn't move at all. Zhao Peng smiled, wrapped his hands in his sleeves and wiped her clean again.
Hu Li knew Zhao Peng's purpose, so she didn't dodge and stood still.
After Zhao Peng finished wiping the dust, he saw that Hu Li's eyes were gently closed, her long eyelashes were like cute quills, her face was flushed, and her lips were as soft as raindrops falling on cherries.
I really want to kiss you.
I endured it again and again, but I couldn't stop talking.
Enduring the infinite melancholy, he sent Hu Li back to the game room and rode home by himself.
A night of silence.
The next morning, his brother did not come home from his aunt's house, so Zhao Peng came to the small yard early.
I thought I was very early, but I didn't expect that two egg sellers, Lao Li and Lao Liu, were already guarding the door of his yard. They were very happy to see him coming.
"Young man, let's get the eggs."
Zhao Peng greeted the two of them with a smile and asked casually: "The egg business has been pretty good recently. I think the two uncles are in a hurry to get the goods."
"It's okay, it's okay. Now the people's living standards have improved, especially in the city. Some people don't like to eat meat, so they only eat eggs. That's why we egg sellers can survive."
Zhao Peng opened the door and pointed to the neatly stacked egg trays on the wall, "Uncle Li, 1,500, and Uncle Liu, 2,000. I'll get them for you. 1,500 means 50 trays, and these are the 5 stacks. Uncle Liu's
67 plates, come on, that’s it, you count them.”
The two dealers looked at the eggs all over the ground, as if they were seeing a big girl, their eyes were full of greed, and they wanted to move all the eggs away.
"Young man, there seems to be a lot of eggs this week."
"Well, the chickens have reached the egg-laying cycle, and there will be so many every week from now on. After my two uncles have taken them, I can sell the rest myself."
The two looked at each other, Lao Li rubbed his hands, approached Zhao Peng, and said with a smile: "Then can we discuss and give us all your eggs?"
Zhao Peng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this.
In his opinion, the demand for eggs in the current market is limited. 7,000 eggs or up to 8,000 eggs can basically saturate the markets in nearby towns and villages. To sell more eggs, he must expand the market, such as going to nearby Linxian and Chixian counties.
etc.
But he didn't expect that these two people were very serious and wanted to eat all his eggs.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of how to answer his question.
"Yes, young man. Look, if you give it to us a little cheaper, you don't have to go to the market to sell it, right? You are a chicken farmer, and we are egg sellers. You must not be able to sell eggs as much as we can."
Come on. If you have time to sell eggs, you can do other things."
Seeing that Zhao Peng was a little hesitant, Lao Liu was on the side to finish the attack.
"What you two uncles say makes sense, but I don't give you a high price for my eggs. 27 cents is already quite low, and eggs are now selling for more than 3 cents on the market."
"Young man, you must give us some profit. We only earn a few cents from each egg. If one is broken, the profit from several eggs will be gone. It comes in the wind and rains, and business is not easy."
Haha~
Zhao Peng would naturally not be persuaded by this kind of rhetoric. There is nothing simple about doing business, and simple things are stipulated in the criminal law.
Since you eat this meal, you will definitely have to pay a corresponding price.
Are you tired from driving screws in factories, or are you tired from delivering food in future generations? Everyone is tired.
But it’s not just for life.
Doing business is not always beneficial, there is no profit, who wants to get up early and be greedy at night, and be afraid of trespassing.
"The price is already very low. If you two uncles think it is expensive, then I will take the eggs this time and wholesale them myself at the market for 27 cents. I think they will be sold quickly and I won't waste much time."
"You kid... you can't do this. Aren't you destroying our jobs? The eggs we charge are close to 30 cents. If you sell them for 27 cents, how can we do business?" Zhao Peng said.
It was going to be sold in the market for 27 cents, and Lao Li was frightened.
"Then the same is true for us. We also want to maximize profits when raising chickens. If we sell them too cheaply, our profits will also be reduced.
Just now, Uncle Li and Uncle Liu talked about the principle of time, so I can also use this to talk about it. If you come here to get eggs from me, you can save the need to collect eggs from farmers. Does this improve efficiency? "
Zhao Peng kept smiling when he spoke. He was neither frivolous nor offensive.
Business is business, and all the competition between us is just for profit. There is no real conflict with each other, and there is no need to argue with each other, which makes the relationship very tense.
