Duan Qiuyue's home had been cleaned up, although it was still dilapidated and damp, but the hut in front of it had been cleaned, covered with white plastic sheeting, and the glass had been wiped again. She was sweeping the floor, and when she saw me and my eldest brother coming, Duan Qiuyue was very happy and greeted her directly.

"You're here? I was just going to find you! Your family is red, when will you be able to do it? Honghong, Qiao'er is here! She turned around and shouted.

Sun Hong agreed and walked out of it, she was a little thinner than before, but she looked very energetic.

I was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Let's transport the coal from my side first, we live in the building now, except for a little coal burned on the stall, the rest will be given to you!" ”

Sun Hong and Duan Qiuyue were very happy, this coal was a big expense, and they gave it to them, in addition to making box lunches, they didn't need money to burn coal. The eldest brother had already sorted out the coal before, and the four of us found a carriage and transported it directly.

Then I discussed what to use to make lunch boxes, pots and pans, if I can't buy it, I won't buy it, plastic boxes and sanitary chopsticks and napkins or something, I'll buy it, and in addition to that, I discussed what to do.

"I think the provincial city makes shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried fish, fried tofu or something, and we can also make something else. What about tea eggs? Put one in a box. ”

Sun Hong said: "Those who make a lot of effort like to eat a greasy, oily eggplant in sauce, roasted potatoes or something. If you sell it to people in those shopping malls, you can sell it lightly. Get some spinach, cauliflower or something, it looks good. ”

"That's fine! In addition, some people don't like to eat, so they have to steam some steamed buns. ”

"You don't need more on the first day, a hundred."

I nodded, and took notes as I discussed with her. Duan Qiuyue also smiled and nodded when she saw her daughter's serious appearance.

We decided to start the lunch box business tomorrow, and when we were ready, we left her house. On the way, my eldest brother was always worried that I wouldn't be able to bear it: "You haven't rested much, what if your body can't bear it?" ”

I smiled and said, "I'm still young, it's okay, I'll earn some money to pay for living expenses when I go to school." ”

"I'll give ...... this"

"Big brother! I am not polite to you as a family with you. Now that I have the ability, how can I make you spend money? What's more, you have children to support and want to buy a house soon, if I really can't do it one day, I will definitely trouble you. ”

The eldest brother had to nod and agree, when he returned to the stall, the sister-in-law was counting the money, today's business seemed to be good, she saw us coming, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Qiao'er!" It's unfortunate that you've arrived, and a guy who bought a house just left just now. ”

I was stunned: "Really? ”

"No, she wants to buy that bungalow, and she is willing to give one thousand two."

I thought about it, shook my head and said: "Don't sell, this price is too little, Sister-in-law Bai looked at me as an acquaintance, and I was in a hurry to sell it for 1,000, and the house would be at least 1,500, or even 2,000 might not be unsold." ”

"Will it work?" The sister-in-law was a little worried.

"Okay!" I said, "It's getting more and more expensive anyway, so I'm not in a hurry to sell it, just sell it before the end of this year." I can't agree to a price of one thousand two. ”

The price of the building has skyrocketed since about '93, so I just need to buy the house within three years, and as for this bungalow, I can sell it if I can, and if I can't sell it, I will wait for demolition.

The sister-in-law sighed: "Qiao'er, I'm very happy that you can sell it for a good price, but when will your eldest brother and I be able to buy a house, it's getting more and more expensive, we really can't do it." ”

I smiled and grabbed my sister-in-law and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you buy it, and I guarantee that you can pick a cheap house with appreciation value." ”

I don't know anything else, but I know exactly where the city will develop in the future, and if I can, I'm ready to buy a house and save some money.

Now I don't have any money left, after buying my sister-in-law's house, all the money in the canteen has been spent, and I only have about 200 yuan in my hand, and the rest of the regular and treasury bills cannot be moved, and the only hope is to pin on selling lunch boxes.

The next day, my eldest brother went to work normally, and I went to Duan Qiuyue's house early. I steamed the rice and started cooking, because I thought about what I was going to do yesterday, so it was very convenient when I came.

Because Liang Yan was selling fish, I first went to the stall and bought all the leftovers she couldn't sell at a low price.

Liang Yan smiled: "Qiao'er, you tell me honestly, is there any project with money?" ”

I said, "I want to sell some lunch boxes." ”

Liang Yan looked at me worriedly: "Are you okay with this little body, that work is tiring!" ”

"Okay! There's a sister-in-law in the stall, and I'm doing something else. I smiled and said goodbye and left.

Although we are the main force, Duan Qiuyue is not idle, helping us cut a few strips of tofu into small pieces and fry them in oil, and Sun Hong and I cut shredded potatoes and stir-fry.

Duan Qiuyue saw that Wai Wushu had put so many potatoes again, and sighed: "This year's potatoes are too expensive, these can't be used for money?" ”

"It's okay, this is what I went on before, just calculate the money according to the cost price." I said with a smile.

"Qiao'er, you didn't make any less money, did you?"

I said, "I don't make a lot of money, it's all hard money, but you can't tell my mom that you know her character." ”

"Don't worry! I understand now that you are completely different from your mother. Duan Qiuyue said seriously.

When I think of my mother, I feel bored again, and sometimes I really wish I could not live without this mother.

The area of the room was too small, and it was filled with the smell of oil smoke after a while, and the room was steaming, choking Sun Hong to cough.

I said, "Go out, I'll do it myself!" ”

"No, I can't stick to this, and I don't have to do business." Sun Hong insisted on not going out, but just opened the window.

The two of us worked together to fry more than a dozen large pots of vegetables, and then put them one by one, used the car to sell them, and first went to the shopping mall and commercial street to take a turn, and sure enough, the sales were good.

We use cheap materials, so we sell cheaply, the lunch box of vegetarian dishes is eight cents, and the meat dishes are two pieces. In a short time, more than 20 boxes were sold.

As soon as Sun Hong came out of the market, she cried excitedly: "Qiao'er! I'm really happy, it turns out that I'm not a waste, Gao Hu always says I'm useless, and I think it's really over. ”

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You're not a waste, someone like Gao Hu is a real waste!" ”

Sun Hong nodded: "Yes." I must do a good job so that my mother doesn't have to worry and no one can underestimate me anymore! ”

"That's it! Keep it so you won't regret it. ”

We sold out a few shopping malls and went to the construction site, they bought a lot, but they always disliked the lack of food, and some people thought the dish was not good.

"I want to order more cauliflower, I don't want shredded potatoes."

I smiled and said, "I see!" Tomorrow I will bring the rice and vegetables to the spot, and today will be ready! "I add a big steamed bun to each of them.

On the way back, I discussed with Sun Hong, the construction site was supposed to be in charge of food, and those people came out to eat because the oil and water were not good, so we would eat a variety of meat dishes, and then raise the price, they would make a lot of money, and they would not be disgusted.

Sun Hong nodded: "Qiao'er!" You really have a business mind, I can't even think of it. I'm really inferior to you. ”

"After a long time, you naturally thought of it, and this was also thought of when I was in the provincial capital."

We walked a few more construction sites, and sold dozens of boxes left, so we sold them in the streets and alleys, and then because the food was cold, we sold it cheaper.

When we went home, excluding the cost of grain and vegetable oil, we made a total of nearly 80 yuan today, which was a lot less than I imagined, in fact, I was quite disappointed, I thought I could earn 100, a family of 50.

But Sun Hong and Duan Qiuyue were already so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together.

Sun Hong said: "I can't pay more than this money a month as a temporary worker, no wonder everyone is doing business." ”

I smiled and said, "There are losses and profits in business, and it is also hard, but the public unit does not have to worry, this is the gap." If you don't feel pity, you have to earn more. ”

"Yes! I'll listen to you! ”

In fact, Sun Hong is a few years older than me, but she is all dependent on me now.
