Aunt Ma clapped her hands and said excitedly: "This is a good idea, I'll steam!" ”

The next day, Aunt Ma went back an hour early, kneaded the coarse grains and fine grains soaked in advance into a ball, and put them on the steamer to steam them.

She didn't dare to do more, according to what Qin Liu said, she only steamed thirty.

As a result, before the morning was over, thirty were sold out.

Two nests for a penny, this price is attractive to everyone.

People passing by, who have money and don't have money, buy two as dry food.

A month has been spent in hard work.

Qin Liu carefully settled, removing the cost of raw materials such as rice, flour, firewood, etc., and made a net profit of 3,000 wen a month, which just included her total investment in buying tables, chairs, benches, pots, bowls, spoons and other items!

She was so excited that she cried with joy!

Finally found another way to make a living!

However, she also quickly calmed down.

The reason for the success of this road is the dedication and hard work of several members of the Ma family.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been able to open the store alone.

Qin Liu called Aunt Ma, Ma Yue, Sister Li Feng and others together to discuss the distribution of income.

When they first opened the store, they deliberately avoided this question.

Because no one is sure, this store will be profitable.

If it loses money, the risk of investing in the water is all borne by Qin Liu.

Although Ma Ang has a military salary, he can only maintain the food and clothing of his family for four yuan a month, that is, two hundred and eighty yuan, and if he wants to have money to open a store, it is estimated that he will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Qin Liu calculated the input, income, and other aspects of the dumpling shop, and concluded: "Up to now, the money spent is as much as the money recovered, and it is considered that there is no loss or gain." However, after all, we worked hard, and we still divided the silver. ”

Qin Liu divided the three thousand texts into four parts, one of which was seven hundred and fifty texts.

Aunt Ma, Ma Yue, and Sister Ma Feng had three pairs of eyes shining together.

A neat string of copper coins was placed in front of him, looking beautiful and docile, and his heart was so excited that he was about to beat!

Ma Yue stretched out his hand and gently touched the string of copper coins, as if caring for the beautiful little white rabbit, and even the hemp rope of the string of copper coins looked extremely cute.

It's not like he's never seen so much money.

But it's the fruit of my own labor, and it's only for a month, which is so exciting!

At this time last year, he was still a poor boy who couldn't fill his stomach and had a stone in his mouth to quench his hunger, but at this time this year, he not only had enough to eat, but also made money!

So much money!

Marrying a daughter-in-law is not a problem!

Ma Yue was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but Aunt Ma held him down.

Aunt Ma quickly calmed down, she gathered all the money in front of everyone, piled it up in front of Qin Liu, and said with a serious and serious expression: "Girl, don't decide this matter yet." When Maang returns, you will discuss it again. ”

Qin Liu didn't insist, and happily accepted Aunt Ma's proposal. The initial investment is also the money spent with real money. She also pointed to earning the money back sooner.

She divided the money in advance, but it was just to show her attitude and sincerity - to distribute the fruits of labor with the Ma family according to their work. It is also a reassurance to the Ma family: he is not a person who sees money and is mercenary.

The next day, Maang made a special leave to come over.

There was a man dressed as a military master standing aside, and no one in the dumpling shop dared to make trouble.

Taking advantage of the lack of people, Ma Ang called Qin Liu to the courtyard behind the store and said his opinion: "First, the silver earned in the first month is your capital, and we can't ask for it. Second, if we make a profit in the future, we can split it in half, and if we lose it, we will also lose it. We can't have the majority of the Ma family. ”

"However, Aunt Ma, Ma Yue and Sister Feng are all working hard......"

Maang did not budge: "Who doesn't work hard? Uncle Li is also very hard at home with two children, and it is also very hard for the children not to see their mother for a day. ”

Qin Liu was stunned, and didn't insist on his opinion: "Okay then." Whether it's more or less, that's it, please bear with me. ”

Maang didn't stay any longer, fetched a few buckets of water from the well and put them in the large wooden basin beside him to wash the dishes.

The weather is getting warmer and the roads are getting more and more pedestrians. Qin Liu repeatedly adjusted the recipe, focusing on an affordable price that fills the stomach.

As the number of guests increases, new problems arise.

Even though she bought several more bowls, she still couldn't wash the dishes, and there were two large pots of porridge outside the house, which were still in short supply.

She has the heart to dig a well and build a large pool outside the door, so that those who are in a hurry to eat can wash the dishes and pick up the vegetables by themselves, and have a self-service mode, otherwise it will be really too busy.

But the cost of drilling a well is not low, and if the store is not rented to them when they turn around, the investment will be wasted.

She couldn't make up her mind for a while, but just complained to Aunt Ma and them.

Aunt Ma made a good suggestion: "The matter of digging a well, let it go first and then release it." I have a good proposal for this dishwashing job. We have a child next door to the neighbor who is an orphan, his father and mother have passed away, eleven years old, he has a meal alone, it is better to let him help wash the dishes, let's take care of him three meals a day. ”

Qin Liu naturally readily agreed.

The child, called Zhuzhu, was as thin as a monkey, only as tall as an ordinary eight or nine-year-old child, and his face was yellow, and it was evident that he had been malnourished for a long time. But the child is hardworking and capable, his hands and feet are nimble, and he cherishes this hard-won opportunity to make a living, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, wiping the table, running errands, buying vegetables, noodles and meat, and rushing to do any work.

The increase in the number of customers drinking porridge has had a great negative impact on the dumpling business.

However, most of the guests who can afford to eat dumplings can live in the post station, and some people order dumplings to be delivered to the post house room.

In the second month, he earned 6,000 yuan. Half of it was given to the Ma family, and half was held by herself.

Qin Liu really didn't expect that just doing business for the lower class poor could have such high profits!

New porridge and bun shops soon appeared in the town, forming direct competition for her business.

Qin Liu didn't mind. Although the porridge bowl is as big as theirs, the porridge is much thinner, and there are no nuts such as peanuts and mung beans that add to the taste.

Experienced regular customers are still more willing to spend in their stores.

On the contrary, because of the diversion of these stores, the reception pressure of their stores is much less.

In the next few months, it is the peak season for business, and there are not only a lot of merchants coming and going on the road, but even some tourists who ride horses to the grassland to see the scenery.

There are also some squads passing by the town, but those people are passing by on horseback, and the grain and grass are provided by special personnel, and they have nothing to do with their dumpling shop.

Just in June, the weather was unusually hot, Erlang wilted, and his appetite was lost. Li Laohan complained with some regret: "It's all the old man's fault!" A few days ago, when I saw that the child was eating well, I couldn't help but feed him a few more bites, for fear that he would accumulate food ......"

Qin Liu said with relief: "It's not a big deal, it's good to be hungry for a few meals." ”
