Chapter 4 Making money and reading are not wrong
The net profit of fifty loaves is eighty wen, and the profit of five hundred loaves is eight hundred.
If you can sell 1,000 pieces of bread a day, you can earn 1,600 yuan.
Gee.
It's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
What is the concept of 1,600 texts?
During the Wanli period, Mr. Teaching collected a whole year's worth of money from each student.
If the Ningjia steamed bun shop is fully firepowered, it can earn nearly 600 yuan a year, which means that it can support 600 dolls to study in social studies at the same time.
"Dad, can you make a thousand cakes a day?"
With good intentions, it is natural to consider feasibility.
Dad is a veteran of this industry, and whether it is feasible has to ask him whether the old man is.
Ning Liang was secretly having fun, and he was startled when he heard his son's question.
"One, a thousand?"
Ning Liang shook his head again and again, and sighed: "How can you make a thousand." Even if I do it with your mother, I can only make two or three hundred. The main thing is that we still have to steam steamed buns, and we can use too little time. ”
Ning Xiu rolled his eyes when he heard this. Steamed steamed buns? That's how much money you can make. If you don't promote this fist product like finger cakes, and spend time on steaming steamed buns, it's no wonder that Dad can't make a lot of money over the years, and can only barely make a living.
"Dad, if you don't steam steamed buns and go all out to make finger cakes, how many can you and your mother make?"
"Don't steam steamed buns?"
Ning Liang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Four or five hundred is always fine. ”
Ning Xiu let out a sigh of relief.
Four or five hundred finger cakes are not less. You can earn 800 yuan a day, and you can earn 300 yuan a year.
"However, if the business is good, I can hire some people to make this finger cake, and it will not be a problem to make thousands of them a day."
The corners of Ning Liang's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile.
Ning Xiu waved his hand again and again: "Absolutely not." We'd rather make less money than hire outsiders to make cakes. ”
There is nothing technical about the finger cake itself, but the method of making it is a little complicated.
If the production method is revealed so easily, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not steal and imitate.
In this era when there are no patents to apply for, once someone makes an imitation, the original product will be greatly impacted.
The finger cake is a product that does not have much price space, and the price war is definitely not what Ning Xiu wants to see.
Although it was only a matter of time before imitations appeared, Ning Xiu hoped that the later the imitations appeared, the better.
"Xiu'er is worried that someone has stolen the method of making this finger cake."
Old Lady Ning Liu explained with a smile.
Ning Xiu scratched his head and said, "My mother still understands me, and there is a lot of profit from three hundred yuan a year." ”
Ning Liang nodded again and again: "A lot, of course a lot." ”
Three hundred yuan, Ning Liang has never seen so much money in his life.
When he thought that he could earn 300 yuan as long as he struggled for a year, his heart was as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
Ning Liu patted his son's shoulder with relief, and a stone in his heart finally landed.
As long as the finger cake is sold, the son can study with peace of mind.
The children of rich and noble families were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, so they can naturally eat and wait for death to live happily for a lifetime. Even if they are a little sloppy, the big family is enough for them to lose.
But if the children of poor families want to get ahead, there is only one way to take the imperial examination.
The county government and the township hall.
If you want to succeed in your career, you have to pass it one by one.
If you can really break out of the encirclement in the big competition and ascend to the Tianzi Hall, then this life will be completely transferred.
Follow his father to make steamed steamed buns? There's a future.
Don't look at the amount of money you make now, the official family really wants to rectify the Ning family, and there are ways to do it.
There is a way to break the county order of the family, and the prefect of the door.
In the face of power, any wealth is illusory, and only with power in the hands or someone in the court is an official, can you live with peace of mind.
After dinner, Dad and Niang went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, while Ning Xiu returned to his room to read.
He is a student member of the county, and it stands to reason that he should go to the county school every day. However, the atmosphere of public schools in the Wanli period was much worse than in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the students have a good relationship with the teachings, they can even travel around the world without going to the county school. As long as you return to your home country to take the exam at the time of the examination.
Therefore, Ning Xiu is not in a hurry to return to the county to study, and it is imperative for him to improve his family situation.
Of course, this does not mean that he has given up studying, and he can also study at home while improving his family situation.
As a history buff, Ning Xiu naturally knew what the imperial examination meant in the Ming Dynasty. In this era of the Eight Shares of Scholars, a scholar without fame is no different from a wasted person.
Although he has a lot of useful information, he can make a lot of inventions. But if you don't have authority in your hands, you're just making wedding garments for others.
Therefore, this book still has to be read, and it must be read to a famous place.
Money to earn, books to read, no one is missing!
Fortunately, Ning Xiu has all the memories of the original Xiao Xiucai, and he knows the basic Four Books and Five Classics, and Zhu Ziji's annotations are all in his chest. In addition, Ning Xiucai's eight-strand essay is also very good, it can be regarded as a small talent, and it is not completely impossible for Ning Xiu to work hard.
Ning Xiu sat at the desk and calmed down, and opened the notes of the four books to read.
The so-called annotations to the collection of four books refer to the "Annotations of Zhu Ziji", and Zhu Xi and his old man made annotations to "Analects", "Mencius", "University", and "Zhongyong". Most of the questions in the imperial examination are taken from a sentence in the four books, but if you want to solve the questions, you have to come from the perspective of Zhu Ziji's annotations, and it is by no means how you can write how you want.
Ning Xiu is a top-class talent, and his basic skills are also very solid.
What Ning Xiu has to do now is to simplify the complex and turn the parts into a whole.
Only by grasping the Zhuzi set of notes as a whole can we understand it thoroughly.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early this morning, Ning Xiu got up early.
After washing, he came to the front store and saw that his father and mother were already frying finger cakes, and he couldn't help but turn red.
"Dad, how is my mother's business today?"
Ning Xiu smiled heartily.
"Hehe, all the 200 finger cakes I made yesterday were sold out. Your mother and I are in a hurry. ”
Ning Liang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and pointed at the clay pot containing the silver coins, with two fine lights in his eyes.
"Dad, don't be in a hurry. When you're tired, take a break. Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Well, this bet on my son has won." ”
"Stinky boy, you don't need to meet to remind Lao Tzu that Lao Tzu will not force you to go to the Wang family to be a bookkeeper again. As for rest...... If it were your father on weekdays, I would really like to take a break, but today I can't. The purchasing manager of the Zhang family just came to the store and asked me to make 100 finger cakes before noon, but I can't be lazy! ”
Zhang's family?
Ning Xiu was slightly stunned, and asked casually, "Which Zhang family?" ”
......
......
ps: This is a very interesting life text, the rhythm will be very relaxed, there will not be too many bitter and hateful things, at least in the early stage, it can be regarded as an attempt by Lao Kun.
