Chapter 6 Backup Options

Yuan Changhe's words, Yuan Dongchu was sour. The original father did really hard, he suffered for half his life, and it was easy for his daughter to grow up, and he had to worry about finding a good in-law for her, and he didn't think about his daughter getting married, what should he do when he was old.

She persuaded: "The money of those rich families is also earned from scratch, and we are also human beings, why can't we think about it?" ”

Yuan Changhe sighed when he heard it: "How can we have such a good life? ”

Yuan Dongchu almost clapped her high-fives, indicating that her motivation was up: It turned out that it wasn't, but now, you have such a good life - isn't this my coming!

"Can we try it? If you don't try, how do you know if our family has such a good life? Yuan Dongchu was clever, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, you have been working on the river for nearly 20 years and have met a lot of people, so it's really a waste if you don't use it." Why don't you and Uncle Zhou raise money to buy a boat, and how about we partner up in the river transportation business? ”

The Uncle Zhou in her mouth is the companion who worked with Yuan Changhe and fainted on the springboard, named Zhou Laiyun. The Zhou family is not a local, they fled here many years ago, the eldest son does odd jobs at the dock, and the daughter-in-law takes her daughter to do some embroidery work, and the family is passable.

"Huh? Buying a boat? "Such a huge amount of information? Yuan Changhe was stunned and didn't come back for a while.

Yuan Dongchu came these days, racking his brains to think about how to change the status quo? How can I make life better at home?

But it's really hard.

Usually, it's easiest to start with what you're eating.

The closest thing to communication between ancient and modern times is probably food.

However, in ancient times, materials were scarce and productivity was low, and even if the basic ingredients had not changed much since ancient times, they could not stand the low efficiency of cultivation, the regionality of crop types was too strong, and there was no efficient means of circulation between regions.

Except for the main crops and poultry and livestock, the rest of the vegetables and spices are very monotonous.

With the ingredients and condiments here, Yuan Dongchu thinks that with his own craftsmanship, he can't make too outstanding deliciousness.

At least the smell of the food she smelled when she passed by the only restaurant in town was not something she could make with the condiments and ingredients of the moment.

Moreover, in this era, the goal of the broad masses of the people is to survive, and it is a luxury to have enough food and clothing. Even if people say that they are a small rich family, they have to tighten their belts, and they must live a tight life, and it would be good to have food and clothing.

As for the tooth sacrifice, a snack, a snack, afternoon tea or something, those are the days that can only be lived by wealthy families.

For the taste buds of the family, their own chefs are excavated to their own homes through various means, and the technology is already very top-notch.

After all, the owners of wealthy families, especially their female dependents, can't expect to go to the small restaurants or restaurants outside to feast on their food.

She had thought that things like oil, sugar, eggs, and even milk were no different from ancient and modern times, and there should be a market for making a novel snack. She may be able to try and sell a few pastry recipes to restaurants and large households.

However, she dragged Xiaocui and Xiuchun around the main street of the town a few times these days, and found that the two pastry shops in the town actually sold shortbread and steamed cakes, combined with the current ingredients, there are many types of cakes, much more than the ones she planned herself.

Even the beaten cake is available, the difference is that the mold of the cake is more suitable for the meaning and aesthetics of ancient times.

She was afraid of exposing her blind spots in this matter, and after a lot of tricks, she found out that one of the two pastry shops was a decades-old brand, and it was said that those fancy cakes were learned by them from the county dim sum shop after spending money.

The other one was newly opened, simply operated by someone sent by a business in the county, and it had been open for almost a year, mainly for the supply of ships to and from the business.

The way to get rich that Yuan Dongchu could think of didn't work, so she had to start with her father.

To make money, of course, it is necessary to start from the long term and do projects with development potential is the right way.

River transport, what a prospect! In contrast, she really can't afford to do the food and pastry business......

Unexpectedly, Yuan Changhe was only stunned for a moment, and then poured cold water on her.

"How can the freight business be as simple as you think?" Yuan Changhe smiled bitterly, "The silver for buying a boat alone is not something that a few families like us can afford." Our family's more than a dozen taels of silver, after saving for so many years, have to give you a dowry, which is absolutely unusable. This is also the case with other families, even if the family has little savings, it is the accumulation of the family's hard work for many years, so will it be easy to take it out? ”

"Also, the forces on the wharf are complicated, Zhang Dahu has been in the freight industry for many years, if I rashly put aside his family and go it alone, and the Zhang family uses some means on the wharf, it will be difficult to move an inch. No one would risk my family's livelihood with me. ”

"Oh...... Let's put this aside for a moment. Yuan Dongchu didn't bother at all.

Buying a boat is indeed a big deal, she has inquired these days, and if several families have poured money into it, it is still possible to buy a small boat.

The difficulty is that even if each family has some savings, it is squeezed out of the teeth of the whole family, and it is difficult for people to take it out if they are not sure.

Furthermore, it is how to settle the displeasure of large households and how to intervene in the transportation of the wharf.

In the film and television dramas she has watched in modern times, the forces of the dock are tilting against each other, and it has always been bloody.

Although in reality it is not so blatantly fighting and killing, it is difficult to intervene as a few civilians.

She rashly proposed to Yuan Changhe, that is, to make a test, and give him a preventive injection by the way, so that he would know that his family would do big things in the future.

Plant a seed in your heart now, and when you mention it later, you can say it a little less.

She also has a backup plan.

"Then do another thing, you have been transporting goods on the river for many years, and there are many acquaintances at the upstream and downstream terminals, why don't you change your career to be a middleman? When you quit your job to Zhang's family, you can promise that if Zhang's boat runs away, you can make an introduction for free. In this way, you don't have to worry about Zhang Dahu stumbling on you. ”

Yuan Changhe stopped his movements in an instant, although he didn't respond, Yuan Dongchu saw that he was tempted.

She continued to persuade: "Even if the business is not very good at the beginning, once the situation is opened, you will definitely make more money than you can support the boat." If you get one or two big customers a month, maybe the reward of the customers can cover your current salary for the whole month. ”

"The important thing is that there is no cost to do this. You don't need to have the capital, you can still have a chance to win the future, what a good thing, do you say yes? "Keep fooling around.

Yuan Changhe was in a state of distraction, and it could be said that this proposal hit his heart directly.

He has been running boats on the river for more than ten years, and of course he knows the Chinese line. He also passed on the news of the stagnation of goods to his colleagues.

It's just that he himself has never had the idea of making money in this way.

At this time, Yuan Dongchu mentioned it, and suddenly realized that he could actually do this business.

And this career change is still good for the original owner. Even if the Chinese People's Bank of China can't do it, it's completely okay to turn back, just say a few more good words to the owner.

"Or ...... Let's give it a try? Yuan Changhe said tentatively, in his heart, he was already ambitious.

Yuan Dongchu also smiled and nodded again and again: "Mmmmmmmm, try, try." I'm sure you'll be able to do it, Dad. When our family makes money, and your road is getting wider and wider, we don't have to partner with others at that time, and we can buy a boat ourselves. ”

The rhythm of the old story is repeated.

"Ahem, let's put the matter of buying a ship on hold for now." Yuan Changhe really didn't have much confidence, "In the next few days, I will continue to run the boat, and then carefully look at the number of roads in this line." If you can see a little bit of a doorway, Dad will try it. ”
