116. Business
Although the hukou has fallen, it does not mean that you will be able to have a job immediately, you need to wait for the company to recruit workers, and you have to conduct a physical examination when recruiting, and you can only go to work if you are qualified in all aspects, and now it can only be said that you have taken the first step.
Ruimin really took Wang Youyuan's words to heart, and wanted to arrest the matter of reading and literacy, but he didn't know how to learn it, so he asked Shi Dayong to buy him a dictionary, and looked at this book casually, and looked up the dictionary when he encountered a word he didn't know, and then marked it on the book.
Shi Dayong is under a lot of pressure, calculating that he needs money in all aspects, he can't wait to divide himself into two halves, do more jobs and earn more money, every day he feels that there is not enough time, and he is busy chattering for a blink of an eye, not to mention the mess in his hometown, that is, now his own home, the three big and two small are still pointing to him to feed alone, every time he goes home from duty, Ruimin's twenty-year-old young man is dangling in front of him so that he is anxious, and there is no sign of recruitment until now, and Ruimin can't go on like this, Shi Dayong thought about it and saw if he could do some small business.
Since he had this idea, every day he deliberately inspected all walks of life, this look, really let him find business opportunities, Shi Dayong ran outside all the year round, and went to many places, after comparing with the prosperous places, he always felt that he was cold and lonely, as if he was missing something, until one time, he was really hungry, and he wanted to buy something on the side of the road to cushion his stomach only to find that there was not even a snack seller on the street.
With this discovery, he injected more and more energy into this area, and after confirming that his idea was feasible, he was ready to discuss it with his family.
There is Sun Xiufang at home, the old man, some things are Sun Xiufang in charge, especially in terms of eating, Sun Xiufang is still the thought of the older generation, it is good to eat full, and if you can save it, she is reluctant to make fine grains to eat every day, and often paste cornmeal cakes to fill her hunger, and it is very simple to make, cornmeal is alive into a ball, wait for the water in the pot to boil, grab a piece of noodles and shoot it into a cake, go down to the water along the edge of the pot, cook for a while, the cake is cooked, and the soup is there, and then fry a big pot dish casually, a simple meal saves money and pressures hunger.
Wang Ying doesn't care, she listens to her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law, and I will cook whatever you say.
It's been a long time, Ruimin doesn't want to, I came out of my hometown to enjoy happiness, you eat almost the same as your hometown every day, so what's the point of me coming out? Later, as long as Sun Xiufang arranged to eat cornmeal cakes again, he objected, "Mother, I eat cakes every day, I've eaten enough, can't you change your appearance?" ”
"Change? What a change! This is much stronger than eating dried melon noodles in your hometown, at least you don't have heartburn after eating, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, your eldest brother earns money alone at home, can you live without saving your life? Although Sun Xiufang said this, she also felt sorry for her son in the end, and she also steamed some steamed buns with white flour every once in a while.
On this day, after dinner, the family chatted together, and Shi Dayong mentioned his thoughts to everyone, "Mother, fourth, I'll discuss something with you." ”
Ruimin thought that there was news about his work, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”
"That's right." Shi Dayong lit a cigarette and was about to take a puff.
Wang Ying snatched the cigarette directly from the corner of his mouth and snuffed it out, threw Shi Xiang into his arms, and glared at him sternly, "Don't smoke, choke the child carefully, you hold San'er, I'll wash the dishes." ”
"Oops, hey." Shi Dayong hurriedly took Shi Xiang, "You will brush it later, listen to me first." ”
"What's so important? I have to listen. Wang Ying sat down, but didn't go to bouldering, but poured a glass of water for Shi Dayong, "Here you go, drink some water, and smoke less cigarettes in the future." ”
Shi Dayong smiled at Wang Ying, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Mother, the fourth, the current situation of our family, everyone knows in their hearts, we are short of money, and now there has been no information about recruitment, and it is not a matter for the fourth child to always wait like this, I want to discuss with you, or let's do a small business?" ”
"What's the business? Boss, our ancestors have never been a businessman, are they in the middle of it? Sun Xiufang said while taking the soles of her shoes.
From the point of view of running a family, Sun Xiufang can be regarded as a typical good wife and mother, as long as she is free every day, her hands are not idle, and the shoes of the family are all taken out by her, which is here for the eldest son, and the time is even more generous.
Shi Dayong knew that his mother would say this, "Everything is done by people, we can't learn if we don't know how to do it, fourth, what do you say?" ”
Hearing that it was not his job, Ruimin was a little disappointed, but he didn't understand anything, since the eldest brother planned it, he was right to listen to the eldest brother, "What do you say, big brother, I just listen." ”
"Dayong." Wang Ying reminded: "How can we have the capital to do business? ”
"I've thought about it." Shi Dayong hugged Shi Xiang and shook it gently, "Don't worry, let's invest less first, if it's easy to do, slowly expand again."
"What have you figured out what to do?" Wang Ying saw An An napping on the side, knowing that the child was sleepy, she brought a basin of water over to wash An An.
"Well, I've figured it out." Shi Dayong said: "I've been watching it for a long time, and there is not even a single one selling food on the street, or I will sell snacks, but I really can't sell them, and if I can't sell them, I can't eat them myself." ”
"What to sell? Bun? Noodles? Ruimin asked: "Then where is our stall, do we still have to rent a house?" ”
"Don't be that troublesome." Shi Dayong shook his head, "We don't have that much capital, I think so, or let's rub the twist and sell, the twist thing is supported, but it is sold slowly, and it can't be broken in three days or two days, let's do it at home, do it and go out to sell it with a basket, and come back to get it after selling, and save rent without delaying taking care of the family." ”
Wang Ying served An An well, covered her with a quilt, and then came back to take Shi Xiang, and then coaxed herself, "Dayong, I won't rub twist flowers." ”
"I will! I will! Sun Xiufang hurriedly said that she had lived for such a long time, as long as it was something on the stove, she wouldn't have it.
There is a saying that goes like this: the old man should be worshipped, and the child should be coaxed. Shi Dayong touched Wang Ying with his elbow, "Look at it, learn from our mother, our mother is still powerful." ”
Wang Ying said at the right time, "That's, who is our mother, or she can support your six brothers." ”
This can be said to Sun Xiufang's heart, not to mention the fact that the family is poor, just to say that her six sons, which one of them is Yushu Linfeng, oh, the fourth child is an exception, but he also became like that because of illness.
Sun Xiufang was comforted by her son and daughter-in-law, and immediately began to promise, "Don't worry, as long as our business starts, my mother promises to make the twist flowers fragrant, and let them eat one and think about the second." ”
Shi Xiang was drowsy in Wang Ying's arms, seeing that he was about to fall asleep with his mouth open and blowing bubbles, Wang Ying lightly sent Shi Xiang to the quilt, and came back to continue to discuss with everyone, "Dayong, why did you light the cigarette again?" It had only been long since she arrived in the bedroom, and Shi Dayong, a big smoker, put the cigarette that had just been snuffed out into his mouth again.
Shi Dayong hurriedly turned his head to the side and took two puffs in a row, and went down with a long breath, the cigarette went down halfway, and he sneered, "Hehe, it's all ordered, don't smoke and waste." ”
Wang Ying pulled over the bench and sat down, and asked Shi Dayong, "Have you forgotten?" How much money can we make with a twist? ”
"I've already done the math." Shi Dayong put the cigarette in his mouth and took the paper and pen, "I'll write to you, the supply of grain is one dime and eighty-one catties, the supply of oil is seventy-one catties, and one catty of noodles can produce twelve twist flowers, and we sell twist flowers for a dime, let's set this price is not expensive, right?" A dime is a dime like you, and you are willing to buy it for your child, right? ”
"Yikes! Big brother, a pound of noodles can be sold for one or two, and you can make more than one dollar by removing the noodles. As soon as Ruimin heard that he could make so much money, he immediately sat up straight in high spirits, if the business could be hot, he would sell him one hundred and eighty catties of noodles a day, and he would not earn a hundred yuan less, which would be much more than earning at work.
"How do you count this account, you don't count oil, you don't count fire, and kung fu doesn't count money!" Shi Dayong then calculated, "I'm talking about the price of the supply of grain, our family adds up to a total of 70 catties of grain, if the business can continue, it will definitely not be enough, the wheat outside the supply is five cents a catty, a pound of wheat can be beaten into noodles can produce seven halves, so the cost of noodles is six cents and seven, the oil is not enough to buy high-priced ones first, and then find a way, anyway, the twist is not too oil-absorbing, let's just make a hard money, what's the matter?" Can you do it? ”
Wang Ying has been calculating in his mind following Shi Dayong's train of thought, even if he uses high-priced grain to do business, he will make a profit, not to mention that there are more than 70 catties of low-cost supply of grain as a base, "I think I can do it, mother, what do you say?" ”
"I listen to you, and I will follow you if you say you can do it." Sun Xiufang is illiterate, but she will calculate the account of more money and less money.
Ruimin was eager to try, "Big brother, I think it's okay, or let's try it first, and then talk about it." ”
There was no objection, Shi Dayong, the planner, had a sense of accomplishment, he spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and said: "Since everyone agrees, I think we should start the business as soon as possible, tomorrow, mother, you will start teaching Yingzi to rub twist flowers, fry twist flowers, Ruimin, sell twist flowers This matter will be handed over to you." ”
"What? Big brother, you let me sell twist flowers? Ruimin agreed to do business, but he didn't expect his eldest brother to let him go out to sell, "I've never sold anything, I don't dare." ”
"What's not to dare?" Shi Dayong looked at Ruimin with hatred, "What is it that people outside can eat you, if you don't go out, who will go out, our mother or your sister-in-law?" Our mother and your sister-in-law not only make twist flowers every day, but also have to watch the children take care of the family, you say yourself, who else is suitable except for you as an idler? ”
Shi Dayong was really a little scared when he was angry, he shrank back and muttered, "I'll go, I'll go, why are you so loud?" ”
