Chapter 297 What to do, you have to do it!
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, come over here and tell me how you did it." Su's mother was full of curiosity and waved to the three brothers Su Ping repeatedly, hoping to get first-hand information.
"Mom, we went to the slaughterhouse this afternoon," Su Ping responded and walked over. As soon as he sat down, he started talking. "At first, they ignored us. The second brother handed us a few cigarettes and said a lot of nice things to open up the situation. Then we discussed with them for a long time, and the staff agreed to reserve pork for us every day, but they had to give it to us at the daily market price, not the wholesale price."
When Su's mother heard this, she felt distressed. "We are losing so much money because you buy so much every day and don't even give us the wholesale price!"
"The second brother also said the same thing to others at that time," Su Ping smiled and looked at Su An. He didn't expect Su An to have such a strong ability to respond on the spot. "Then he proposed to reserve some large bones for us when reserving meat every day. The price is cheaper. Because when we asked, although these large bones are cheap, many people buy them. They say that they buy them to stew soup or cook dishes. There is not much meat on them, and the size is also considered a meat dish. Therefore, many people want large bones every day. If you go too late, you can't buy them!"
"That's good," Mother Su felt much better after hearing this, "Then did they agree to send it?"
"How can the people at the slaughterhouse have so much time to deliver the goods to our door?" Su An heard Su's mother's question and spoke directly. "It just so happened that when we were worrying about it and thought it was really not possible, we went there once a day to get the meat, and the father of the person in charge of the slaughterhouse came over to do some work. After hearing about our needs, he offered to help us deliver the goods. He said that he was idle at home and had nothing to do, so it was a good opportunity to deliver the goods to us. Not only could he make some money, but he could also exercise. The person in charge of the slaughterhouse saw that his father was so interested, and after asking for the address of our steamed bun shop, he felt that the distance was not bad and it wouldn't be too tiring, so he agreed to let his father deliver the goods to us in the future."
"That's not bad," Su's mother said to Su An directly after hearing this, "The father of the person in charge of the slaughterhouse should be quite old. He should be more polite to others, okay?"
\"Don't worry, Mom, I understand this!\" Su An agreed readily.
"What about the dishes? How about them?" Father Su asked at this time.
"We went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. After the third brother communicated with someone, the other party gave us the address and asked us to go and ask ourselves. The main reason was that they couldn't make reservations for us at the supply and marketing cooperative. As long as there were customers coming to buy, they had to sell them. Because they had made reservations for others before, they were sued and said that they were not serving the people. So now they are very sensitive about the reservation issue." Su Ping started telling the story to his family.
"Have you found the address provided by the supply and marketing cooperative?" Father Su was a little worried.
"We must have found it," Su Kang smiled. "After we went there, we told them what we needed. They were very polite and said they would deliver the goods to the supply and marketing cooperative every morning and then bring the cabbage and radishes to us. The price would be based on the wholesale price given to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the delivery fee would be 3 yuan per delivery."
"Sure, sure. Our bun shop opens early in the morning. They can put the buns in the yard behind the shop when they deliver them. It won't delay anything." Father Su was very satisfied when he heard this.
"No, why didn't you mention vermicelli? And we also sell tofu buns, so where's the tofu?" Su's mother counted and found that there was no supply of vermicelli and tofu.
"I just forgot to mention that we get vermicelli directly from the supply and marketing cooperative. There is a tofu grinder near our home, and we have already made an agreement with him. He makes two plates of tofu for us every day and delivers it to the bun shop in the afternoon." Su Ping added hastily after hearing this.
However, Su Ping seemed a little embarrassed. "The amount of vermicelli we need is quite large. If we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot every time, it may take a long time for them to supply us with the full amount. After all, there are many other people who also need to buy this, and they have to take care of the needs of others."
"Brother, don't worry about the fans," Su Yunyun said with a smile, "Have you forgotten? What are the specialties of our hometown county?"
"Specialties, what are they?" Su Ping thought carefully, "Yes, there are fans!"
"What's the point of saying this?" Mother Su was still worried. "The hometown is so far away from us, how can we use it? It's really like distant water can't quench nearby thirst."
"Mom, water from far away can quench your thirst," Su Yunyun said without any worries. "Wang Dali said before that he would come to Beijing after the New Year. He will arrive in the next few days. When he comes, tell him to help bring some water from his hometown next time. It can be used for a long time and it won't go bad anyway."
"That won't work," Su Ping said anxiously, "What if the time interval is too long and it can't be delivered in time?"
"It's okay," Su Yunyun tried to comfort him again. "He's going to the Northeast this time. There are many fans there. We can ask him to bring some for us in case of emergency. But since they're going to the Northeast to transport goods, they can't bring much."
"If I can bring as much as I can, I'll bring as much as I can," Su Ping was relieved. "This way I can make up for some of the shortfall. When I have some time off after school starts, I'll go to some supply and marketing cooperatives and buy some to stock up. This way, when Wang Dali brings back some fans from his hometown, it won't delay things even if there's a long gap."
"Okay, it's decided then!" Seeing that Su Ping accepted her proposal, Su Yunyun decided to wait for Wang Dali to come and tell him about this matter.
After waiting for a while, dinner was ready and they gathered together to eat dinner.
After dinner, they sat together and chatted as usual. During the chat, Su Tai took Su Ping out to talk. After a while, Su An and Su Kang also followed them out.
Their actions of walking out one after another attracted the attention of the others present. Su's mother asked Li Yue, "What are the boss and the others doing?"
Li Yue roughly guessed that it was about the rent of the house, because when Su Ping asked Su Tai to arrange to inquire about the market rent of the surrounding houses, she was standing by and knew about this matter. Now there should be some clues.
But because she was not sure whether it was about the rent, she replied vaguely, "I don't know either. I'll ask them when they come back."
As soon as the words fell, the four Su Ping brothers lifted the curtain and walked in, then said to Su Yunyun, "Little sister, when we first moved into this courtyard, we had already said that we brothers would pay you rent, and we can't live in your house for free. But because we just arrived in Beijing some time ago, we were busy with a lot of things, and then it was the New Year, and these few days we were busy with the bun shop, so we delayed telling you about the rent until now, please don't mind it!"
"Yes, little sister, we brothers didn't mean it!" Su An also looked ashamed.
"Brother, brother, you think too much!" Su Yunyun didn't expect that they would come back to talk about this after they went out. "I have never thought about it this way. Besides, we are all family. Even if you don't pay me the rent, I won't say anything. You are not allowed to say that in the future."
"Little sister, we know that you and Han Sen are taking care of us, but things have to be done as they should be!" Su Ping insisted, "So we have agreed that we will give you the rent today."
