Chapter 7 The Problem of Making Money!
Feeling that after her sister's burden of life was completely unloaded on her, Shen Mengyue also looked relieved, and her whole person was unprecedentedly relaxed.
I wasn't angry, and my face showed a sense of relief.
First, he cleaned up the messy house that the two of them tossed around, and then went to ask the uncle of the locksmith's shop downstairs to spend seventy yuan to change a better lock for his house.
Although it may not be able to prevent my sister from prying the door again with that ghostly yellow hair, it is better than nothing.
After all, she can't afford a better security door, and there's no need.
She really didn't want to occupy the old house left by her parents, but just wanted to protect the relics they left inside.
Sooner or later, she will leave this small city, and when she finds a new place to live and moves the relics left by her parents, she will have no nostalgia anymore.
My sister wants it, just give it to her.
Anyway, this house has no property rights, and it is the family room of the workers in the factory when her parents were still workers in the county textile factory.
It's a pity that the textile factory closed down later, so her parents would go to work as construction workers halfway.
Fortunately, this house was not returned, and you can continue to live there.
However, it can't be traded, it is very old, it can be called old and dilapidated, many people have moved out, and I don't know when it will be demolished.
After tidying up the house again, Shen Mengyue sat at the dining table in the living room, took out the two passbooks in her hand, and prepared to calculate how much money she still had.
The first one is the passbook left by my parents.
Looking at the numbers above that have not been touched since she had withdrawn a few strokes three years ago to hold funerals for her parents, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Mom and Dad left so suddenly, she didn't even see the last side, she didn't have a last word, the original good home, it was gone overnight, and the real family was ruined.
Even if he is lucky enough to live a life again, he has not lived until before his parents died to make up for this regret.
On the contrary, she lived until the eve of her sister's break with her, and she didn't know if fate deliberately made people, so she was so angry that her liver hurt.
The savings left by my parents totaled about 50,000 yuan, and more than 40,000 yuan was used for their funeral three years ago, and there were 11,200 yuan left.
Seeing that this number has been fixed on the passbook for three whole years, she is a wry smile,
Because of the inheritance left by her parents, she really didn't move a cent.
In the past three years, I and my sister have eaten and worked hard to earn money by working the construction site.
Especially myself, I am reluctant to eat anything and buy anything.
That's why the uncle and aunt in the canteen on the construction site will pity her like that, a weak woman, not only has to support herself, but also has to provide for a younger sister to study in high school for three years, how can it be so easy?
She often secretly opened some small stoves for her, and other workers didn't say anything, but they also saw it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts.
And his salary, because he is only a small worker, is not a regular worker, so it is not high, only about 15,000 a month.
Most of them, she supports her sister to study, and she hardly spends it herself.
So she took out another passbook of her own, and looked at the numbers on it, her expression became more and more bitter
After three years, she was tired and tired, and she only saved a total of 6,000 yuan.
The 6,000 yuan was really pulled out of her teeth.
Originally, the 6,000 yuan was also going to be used for my sister to go to college, but fortunately, now I have saved it, and I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.
In addition, I still have a month's salary on the construction site, which is also about 15,000.
She had calculated it before, and all of them were added together, and she went to work for a month of summer work, which was just enough to raise 20,000 yuan for tuition, so that she could go back to school, but now it seems that it can't be done.
Because since my sister is determined to marry that yellow hair at the moment, she wants to take away the more than 10,000 yuan of savings left by her parents from her hands, so she can no longer count it in her tuition fees.
And with less than 10,000 yuan, she is far from enough to make up 20,000 yuan for school choice fees, which is a big difference.
It's a finger count, she must earn at least 13,000 yuan in the next month!
13,000 dollars in 08!
In this era when everyone's salary is generally more than 1,000 yuan, it is too difficult for her to earn 13,000 yuan a month!
Even if she goes to the construction site to work as a small worker, the salary is slightly higher, and it is difficult to have about 1,500.
And that's just the tuition, not counting the living expenses of her repeating a year of high school.
She knows how much academic pressure she has in the third year of high school, if she really wants to go back to school and be admitted to a good university, she must not be half-hearted, she must find a way to make up her living expenses for this year!
In other words, if she wants to go back to school and study with peace of mind, she must earn at least 20,000 yuan in the next month to truly get rid of her worries.
Twenty thousand dollars!
Thinking of this huge number, Shen Mengyue was big for a while.
Although Teacher Liu and Teacher Zhao said that they would apply for various financial aids for themselves, this subsidy did not come down after all, and she didn't know how much it could be, so she didn't consider it either.
After three years of hard work, Shen Mengyue has become quite cautious, and often thinks about problems to the maximum extent so that she will not be forced into a desperate situation.
Therefore, this subsidy is at most regarded as an unexpected joy as icing on the cake, and cannot be used as her real hole card, let alone relying on this subsidy to survive.
I'd rather be more prepared than be less prepared!
Otherwise, when the time comes, it will really be called that the earth and the earth are not spiritual, and you will have to be distracted to work, and you will be busy working in vain.
However, although it was difficult, Shen Mengyue did not give up lightly.
finally had a chance to return to school to study, it can be said that she really exchanged her life, how could she give up easily?
Even if she gives up her life, she must complete it and realize it, so as to live up to her for a lifetime!
At this moment, her gaze became more firm than ever, and there was a kind of persistence that insisted on Qingshan not relaxing.
And taking a break from high school to work for three years, Shen Mengyue not only maintains a trace of intelligence and dexterity as a student, but also has a touch of sleek sophistication as an adult, which can be said to be quite lively.
She understands that in the remaining month, no matter how hard she tries to earn, she will not be able to earn 20,000 yuan.
Manual labor is always the cheapest and most efficient way to make money, and it is impossible to really make a lot of money, even if their foreman does not have 20,000 yuan a month.
Otherwise, she would not have been thinking about returning to school and relying on reading to change her fate of being at the bottom forever.
If you want to make real money, you have to find another way!
It's just that in the past three years, she was still young, and her sister had just entered high school, so everything was stable, so she couldn't take risks, so she chose to go to the construction site to work as a small worker and rely on her dead salary to support her sister's education.
And now, she has no way out, if she doesn't succeed, she will become a benevolent, and she must fight, so this risk, if you don't take it, you have to take it!
Thinking about it, after hiding the two passbooks again, Shen Mengyue locked the door and walked out.
Be prepared to go out and find a good way to make money quickly.
Along the familiar streets and alleys, she has been working at the construction site for three years.
In fact, when she was working at this construction site before, she heard a group of workers and uncles talk about what kind of business is the most profitable.
Selling snacks at the night market outside the construction site is considered the most lucrative way for all the workers and uncles.
It's simple and easy to use, and the cost is not high.
I thought that one day when I retired and returned to my hometown, I would also get a small cart like this and try it.
Especially the night market at their construction site and even at the entrance of the school is even more profitable.
I heard that those who sell fried skewers, meat buns, fried rice, and cold noodles and hot and sour noodles are doing very well, and there are thousands of yuan of running water in one night!
In particular, their construction site is undergoing a major renovation of the West City and District, and thousands of workers come in and out every day.
In addition, there are some family homes for employees of state-owned enterprises left over from the early years, and there are more than a dozen tube buildings, and tens of thousands of people live in them.
People come and go, and this passenger flow is considerable.
In a word, as long as the snacks you sell taste good, are affordable, and have a large amount of fullness, you can't make a mistake, and you can earn 8,000 a month, which is not much better than her simple hard work?
Of course, it is said that it is a million profits, and it is not true that it does not require capital.
If you want to set up a stall to sell snacks, a modified trolley equipped with a gas stove and kitchen utensils is a must.
In addition, you have to find someone to learn special snack recipes and crafts, you can't really fool around, and you are not stupid.
Finally, you have to deduct the cost of materials for the first few days of trial operation, after all, don't think that the business is too good at the beginning, even if your snacks are really delicious, it will take time to build a reputation.
The cost of these miscellaneous items adds up, including the cost of each snack, is also different, so at least two or three thousand yuan must be required.
And it is not necessary to ensure that your food stall can really operate, and doing business is really quite mysterious, it is indispensable for strength and luck, and there is a little bit of fate.
Maybe the things you make are delicious, but they can't be sold, and what people do is obviously very ordinary, but the business is booming, and no one can help it.
At that time, you can only reluctantly accept your fate and wait to lose money.
In short, there are risks and benefits, and not everyone has the talent to do business.
So even though there are many people who know that this kind of food cart stall is very profitable, and they are envious, they rarely try it themselves, because they know that they don't have that talent.
Seeking stability is always the first choice for most people, and they will not break their comfort zone so easily.
And, without doing evil, it is impossible for people to make money beyond their own knowledge.
And setting up a stall to sell snacks is the most likely way to earn 20,000 yuan a month within Shen Mengyue's cognition, and in addition, she has no other way but to start from this aspect.
It just so happened that the group of workers she met on the construction site happened to have relatives and friends who were selling snacks nearby, so she was ready to get to know the situation and be prepared.
After all, if you can find someone to take with you in anything, you will definitely be able to avoid a lot of detours.
If you can't say it, you can make money quickly, so as to make up 20,000 yuan for tuition.
Her luck is also not bad, the few co-workers and uncles she knows who have a good relationship with her parents happen to be off work today and are sitting in the work shed.
When they heard that Shen Mengyue was going to quit their jobs and was going to invite them to a meal and thank them for their kindness in the past three years, several of them resigned again and again.
Because they know how difficult it is for this little girl, after the death of her parents, in order to support her sister to study, she came to the construction site to work as a small worker at such a young age, tired and tired, she was originally a yellow flower girl, but she was like a little black boy, and she couldn't earn a few dollars, and her salary was only half of theirs.
So he never asked her to have a treat, but for the sake of her parents, he organized a group to take her to dinner if she had nothing to do.
Shen Mengyue saw that everyone was embarrassed to go, so she didn't hide it, and directly told these elders who knew her parents well about her intention to quit her job and go back to study.
Suddenly, these co-workers and uncles were very happy when they heard that she was going back to school, and they were all happy for her.
Especially those co-workers and uncles who knew how difficult she had been in the past three years, they all applauded her, saying that she had finally survived, and her sister had finally been admitted to college, and it was time to think about it for herself, and it was better to study!
Only by studying can you sit in the office, so that you don't have to endure the wind and sun, and you don't have to work hard to make money like them.
The work on the construction site is really not something that she can come to as a little girl.
In the past three years, how much she has suffered, these workers and uncles who are familiar with her parents have all seen it.
At this moment, they all sincerely and unconditionally supported her to go back to school and stop working on the construction site, otherwise, she would have no interest for the rest of her life.
Only people like them who have never studied and rely on hard work to make money can really understand how important it is to study and go to university!
It can really change fate, and you don't have to struggle at the bottom all your life like them.
They themselves are already forty or fifty years old, and they already have a family and a business, and this is the only way to do it in this life.
But seeing that the sensible, filial and hard-working child who used to be a co-worker can go back to school, I am still happy for her from the bottom of my heart.
With such an eager look on his face, he was even happier than seeing his children enter college.
They all began to work together to help her find a way.
When I heard that she was still short of 20,000 yuan in school choice fees, she was going to set up a food stall in the night market outside the construction site to make money.
Immediately, Uncle Chen, who had a good relationship with her parents back then, of course, stood up and said that he had a big nephew who was selling fried skewers in the night market outside, and he could take her to find a way.
It's not just talking, it's just taking her to find someone in a hurry, for fear of delaying her going back to school.
A group of co-workers and uncles followed her to this fried skewer stall.
Before and after the stall, looking at the five co-worker uncles who were traveling with her, Shen Mengyue immediately stepped forward sensibly and ordered fried skewers of more than 100 yuan, and brought a case of beer, and then moved the small table under the tree in the warm afternoon breeze, and greeted a group of workers and uncles who had taken care of her a lot in the past three years to eat.
"Come on, Xiaoyue, don't be busy, come and try my eldest nephew's skills?"
"It's no secret, he's been working here for almost four years, and many people come to eat the fried skewers he makes, which is very famous in this night market!"
"Really?" Surprised, she hurriedly picked up a fried skewer, Shen Mengyue took a quick taste, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Well, it's delicious, no wonder his business is so good, Uncle Chen."
This is really not a compliment on her, but this Uncle Chen's nephew's fried skewers are really good, so this is the main reason why although it is not yet night, there are many other food stalls nearby, but he is the only one here, but he has already sat at a few tables.
They were all attracted by his unique taste!
And if she can really learn this craft, she can't really earn enough tuition and living expenses for the next year in a month.
After all, fried skewers are the snack category with the lowest threshold, not to mention the high profit, there is no difficulty, and it is easy to get started.
I just don't know, can I learn it?
Because of such good craftsmanship, even if the stall owner is Uncle Chen's nephew, it is impossible to teach people easily, right?
It is not unreasonable for the world to say that the disciples of the church starved to death of the master.
So although she was excited, she was a little worried, a fried skewer was full of thoughts and fears.
Seeing this, Uncle Chen smiled and comforted her, signaling her to rest assured, everything can be done with herself.
Immediately, he said to the stall owner who had just finished frying the last table of fried skewers.
"Okay, eldest nephew, don't be busy yet, take a rest, come here, uncle has something to tell you."
"Huh!"
When I heard this, I saw this stall owner in his early thirties, white and fat, with a general's belly, wiped his hands with an apron, and ran over to the road.
"What's the matter, uncle, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I heard you say before, your child is about to enter elementary school, and the two of you are going to go back to your hometown after finishing this month, right?"
"It doesn't matter if you go back to your hometown, but you can't throw away such a good fried skewer stall casually, otherwise, what if your uncle and I still want to eat fried skewers in the future? So ......"
