Qin Liu excitedly told Li Laohan about the proceeds of copying books.

Li Laohan was so excited that he burst into tears, he slapped Li Dalang's ass a few times, and said, "Learn to write with your mother well, and you won't starve to death in the future!" ”

Qin Liu completed the task of copying books in a few days, handed over an errand to the owner of the grocery store, received two thousand dollars, and received a new paper and pen and a copy of the book.

When I went to the errand a few days later, the grocery store owner looked very embarrassed, saying that the last book had not been sold out yet, and he should not copy new books for the time being.

However, he still happily gave the money to Qin Liu.

He kindly reminded: "Girl, our town is small, and the people who buy books are all past merchants, and the demand is limited. However, the money in the capital is easy to earn and the rent is expensive, and the Xuanfu is colder, and the Tartars come from all over the place, each with its own bad ......"

The boss thought about it in pieces, but Qin Liu shivered.

She has an instinctive fear of the capital.

A voice in her heart reminded her: "No, I can't go back to the capital!" ”

This fear did not come from herself, it seemed to be from the original body.

I don't know what kind of terrible situation the original body encountered in the capital, which made her so frightened that she was engraved into her blood and bones.

The death of the book copying plan did not discourage Qin Liu.

There is no endless road, and since she can find a way to copy books to make a living, she may not be able to find something else.

At this time, she was still a little grateful to God for giving her such an excellent original body.

A short time later, Maang came over and shared good news with her.

"I belong to Huailaiwei, and our brother-in-law is the post man of our town's post station. The inn has an external façade, which was originally rented out. Now it's empty. Facing the street, the location is excellent, if you can rent there to open a dumpling shop, I look reliable! ”

Qin Liu hesitated a little: "Is the post station willing to rent it to us?" ”

Ma Ang looked proud: "I mentioned it to our hundred households, and he said that as long as he is invited to eat meat dumplings every month, this matter will be wrapped up in him!" ”

Qin Liu smiled: "This can work!" ”

Just do it, Ma Ang immediately took Qin Liu to see the façade.

At this time, the weather was much warmer, and it was early in the morning, and there were many more pedestrians on the streets than in winter.

Qin Liu asked Ma Ang to ask about the rent of the store.

Maang was very good at things, bought two pieces of meat and two packs of snacks, and went directly to Baihu's house.

Baihu's surname is Zheng, and he is a bold man in his thirties, so he directly asked Yicheng He Laosi to come over. He Yicheng's errand was found by his brother-in-law, how can there be any reason not to agree? And he gave a very low rent: 200 yuan a month.

Ma Ang was overjoyed, and immediately gave Zheng Baihu and He Yicheng a few deep bows.

Zheng Baihu waved his hand haughtily, and said with a smile: "You and my brother, what are you polite?" ”

He had a lot of paperwork to deal with, but he couldn't read a few of them, so it was very difficult for him to do it. There used to be a literate soldier, but unfortunately the Tartar soldiers attacked a few years ago, and that man was killed in battle. Now, with Maang's help, his errand is much smoother.

However, subduing Maang to follow him with all his heart is also a problem he needs to think about. The current demand for rental housing in Maang is the right opportunity.

For He Yicheng, the store is idle, and the rent is high, and it belongs to the post station, and if he puts it in his pocket, it is easy to be said that he is corrupt. It's best to do favors. It turned out that the store that was rented out was a grocery store, and it always lost money, and it couldn't be recovered for 200 yuan a month.

The next day, Ma Ang took half a day off, went to the post station to sign a lease, and then let Ma Yue and Qin Liu Zhang Luo go.

The store area is not too large, and there are four or five long tables in the front hall. In the kitchen, the stove is built, and if there is firewood, you can start the fire, and there is a small yard in the back where you can pile up firewood and sundries. There is also a well. There is a small cubicle on the second floor that can accommodate people.

It's really a sparrow, although small, with all kinds of organs.

Qin Liu, Ma Damiang and others cleaned the store inside and out, and went to buy iron pots, big bowls, tables, chairs and benches, and talked about butchers, farmers, grain shops and other channels.

The signboard of the dumpling shop was written by Qin Liu himself, and Li Laohan chiseled out words on a large wooden board.

Although there were not many guests on the first day, the post station ordered 200 dumplings to make tooth sacrifices for the servants, which was a big business.

Zheng Baihu also brought Xiaoqi and more than a dozen people to cheer. They wanted to give money, but Qin Liu refused to accept it. Zheng Baihu didn't say much, but the next day someone sent a large piece of meat, which was worth the food money for the first day.

Qin Liu smiled bitterly. This Zheng Baihu is really good at being a man! However, it is also a good thing. Zheng Baihu doesn't like to take advantage of small advantages, and Ma Ang's life in the military camp is much better.

Qin Liu calculated the accounts that night, and bought ten catties of meat today, spending two hundred yuan, ten catties of flour for a total of seventy yuan, vegetables cost thirty yuan, and the total cost was three hundred yuan.

The income is one hundred and fifty yuan, but it has lost money.

Fortunately, there are leftovers of dumplings and meat flour.

It seems that we have to do a good job in the management of raw material procurement, otherwise it will really go out of business.

After closing, she dragged her tired body back to Li's house, the children were already asleep, and Li Laohan was still waiting for her.

Old Man Li pulled the old hoarse voice and asked worriedly, "How is it today?" ”

It can be heard that he has always been concerned about the success or failure of the dumpling shop.

Qin Liu was stunned and said, "It's okay, it's finally open." Jiro is pretty good today, right? ”

Jiro can already eat some rice cereal, and he doesn't necessarily need her to be there all the time during the day. Qin Liu only needs to go home and feed twice when there are few people.

Li Laohan, a disabled old man without two legs, is pulling two children at home alone, and the hardships and fatigue are no less than her.

Qin Liu suddenly understood that this dumpling shop was not only hers, but also Li Laohan's hope for the future life, as well as the expectations of the Ma family brothers and sisters for the future life.

She's got to work harder.

Erlang slept soundly, she peed for him, and he tilted his head, and he booed smoothly without opening his eyes.

Qin Liu's heart suddenly brightened.

Once raw and twice cooked. When she first took Erlang, she always couldn't grasp his need to shout, and there was inevitably a map drawn by Erlang on the bed.

After more than a month of running-in, she was able to accurately grasp Erlang's needs. It's been a long time since bedwetting happened.

In fact, there are many people who come to the dumpling shop today to ask the price, and when they heard that a plate of dumplings costs ten cents, many people shook their heads and left.

Although there are passers-by in this town, everyone's purchasing power is limited.

Instead of just making dumplings, it is better to sell noodles and brown rice porridge together.

The next day, Qin Liu set up a stove at the door of the dumpling shop, and steaming brown rice porridge was boiling in a large urn on the stove.

In the past, pedestrians asked for a price, only a penny for a large bowl, and a small plate of cold wild vegetables was also included.

On the same day, the brown rice porridge alone was sold for 300 yuan.

The shop was too small to sit, so many people stood on the side of the road outside the store, blowing and sucking on the hot and sticky brown rice porridge, squinting in comfort.

There are not only brown rice, but also rice, peanuts, etc., which are warm and delicious, and a pinch of salty wild vegetables can not only soothe the hardship, but also warm the body.

In the evening, Qin Liu calculated that he would make a net profit of 100 yuan on this porridge!

However, this is because she did not include the wages of several people, and if she did, it would have just been tied.

Qin Liu was inspired, so he thought of developing more single products.

Is it possible to do it in the nest? Passers-by can buy dry food on the road.

Qin Liu discussed with Aunt Ma, and Aunt Ma was a little entangled: "Everything else is fine, but the kitchen is too small, steaming nests and cooking dumplings, I'm afraid that the turnover will not be opened." ”

Qin Liu pondered for a while and said, "Can you steam it on the first day at home, take it and put it on the stove to heat it up?" ”
