The leisurely life of rebirth.

Chapter 13 Selling Steamed Buns

"Little sister is really smart. My younger brother is five years old and can't count!" Seeing Fang Monan's full-bodied appearance, the students beside him also laughed.

“那当然,1像铅笔细又长;2像小鸭水上漂;3像耳朵听声音;4像红旗迎风飘;5像秤钩来买菜;6像口哨嘟嘟叫;7像镰刀割青草;8像麻花扭一扭;9像勺子来吃饭;10像筷子加鸡蛋。”方默南一边说,还用手指数数。

After the person next to him listened, he thought about it vividly, and said, "Wow... I'll say it again, let me remember it, and teach my sister later." "My brother..."

For other students who have younger brothers and sisters, let Fang Monan read it again and write it down.

Someone knew grandma, "Ms. Mo, your granddaughter is really smart."[

Grandma was more happy to praise them than to earn money by selling steamed buns, and she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

Soon the nearly fifty steamed buns brought by Fang Monan and the others were sold out.Others who didn't buy it looked at the empty dustpan, "Why are they sold out so quickly, are you coming tomorrow!" asked eagerly.

"Come on, come tomorrow." Fang Monan said.

Grandma watched them leave regretfully without saying anything. Now she anxiously wants to know how much she bought.

Fang Monan and the others rushed home with their autumn tigers on their heads, sweating profusely. They didn't care about being thirsty and hungry, let alone washing up. The door didn't even open, and grandma was in the corridor, panicking He poured out the money in the carton on the small wooden table and counted it.

It was a total of one and twenty-five cents, not counting the food stamps. Grandma couldn't believe it was so much. She counted it three times back and forth, and it was true.Grandma snapped her fingers excitedly, and muttered to herself: "How much is deducted for flour, briquettes, and miscellaneous expenses... There is actually one yuan in net profit. If you work every day for a month, it will be 30 yuan. It is more than your aunt’s salary, and the steamed buns are sold out in such a short period of time, and the quantity can be steamed more, so there will be more than this amount of money in a day, how is this possible.” Although it was just an accident, it cannot withstand careful consideration. Thinking about it, grandma was imagining a better life in the future.calm down!In this way, the flour stored in the attic of the family is also settled.Nan Nan's mother has no other skills. In the past two years, she has been selling cheap flour at home.

You must know that people’s wages at that time were only 30 to [-] yuan. My aunt was a temporary worker and her salary was only a dozen yuan at that time, so my grandma was frightened by her calculation.I was stunned, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Fang Monan put all the money into the cardboard box, and thought calmly, people were curious on the first day, that's why they had such a good harvest, and the family who went to high school had some wealth, no matter how poor the parents were, they wouldn't be poor Students, especially those who live in the school, have to have money for their children to eat. In addition, the quality of steamed buns is better than that of public ones. Although they are one or two cents more expensive, some people still bite their teeth and buy them.After the freshness at the beginning, the sales will decline. She calculated in her mind that she could earn five or sixty yuan a month, regardless of the cost and uncertain factors. It should be very easy.

Looking at grandma's joy now, I guess she would continue to do it without Fang Monan's encouragement.

What Fang Monan thinks is that the key is the follow-up issue, this is how she can persuade her grandma to persevere.

Even in the era of the movement, the private economy has not been completely banned, and there are still some professionals in the county town who set up stalls to make ends meet.For example, book stalls, watch repair stalls, fried food stalls, popsicle stalls and the like.

Now the times are different, and they can do it in a fair manner. Their steamed buns still have an advantage for the public.

Self-employed in the early 80s, stocks in the late 80s, real estate in the 90s, and the Internet in the 21st century.These are the most profitable. In the early 80s, you could get rich by setting up a street stall. Even though there were historical reasons, most of them didn’t dare. At the end of the 80s, when you buy original stocks, you can make money when you buy them, but many people don’t believe it.

You must know that in the 80s, as long as you do something, nine out of ten, you will become a member of the group of people who get rich first in the eyes of future generations.How many people have felt that they were born at the wrong time, or regretted that they missed the good time to go to sea.But in that era, being an individual was indeed, in the eyes of most people, a tossing around without doing business.Most of the practitioners, many of them are reformed through labor, or idlers on the street.Everyone would rather stay in the factory and work hard from morning to night, earning the dead wages of 30 to [-] yuan a month, and feel that the money earned is at ease.

Fang Monan was also very happy to see the smirk and happy smile on his grandma's face, and finally found a job for his grandma with no technical content.The important thing is not how much money they can make, but to cultivate their awareness.A few years later, isn’t there a popular saying, those who are in charge of the business are not as profitable as those who sell tea eggs!When you encounter a problem, you can solve it.However, all the issues she considered were quickly resolved by Mr. Lin. Those who are knowledgeable have foresight.

Grandma smirked. Fang Monan sat on the small wooden table with the box in his arms. He didn't wait for grandma to recover, but waited until his aunt came home from get off work.Looking at the family, one big and one small, sitting in front of the door stupidly, without even opening the door.

"Nannan, what's the matter with your grandma?" The aunt looked at her and asked, pointing to the stupid grandma.

"Oh! Look." Fang Monan gave her the cash box.

When my aunt saw so many bills and coins, she raised her eyebrows, "What's going on?" [

Fang Monan told her what happened just now. Obviously, although my aunt was a little surprised, but at noon, after working all morning, she was tired and hungry, and eating was the most important thing, and she didn't count carefully.Grandma: "Mom, what do we have for lunch?"

"Ah!" Grandma came back to her senses at this time, "It's noon, let's eat steamed buns!" Opening the door of the house, looking at the empty steamer pot, "Oh no, we sold all the steamed buns." At that time, only Thinking that if you can't finish it, it will be broken, so just put it inside, and forget to keep a few for yourself to eat.She slapped her thigh, "It's easy, Xiaoyan, you get scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and shredded cucumber, I'll roll the noodles now. I can eat hand-rolled noodles at noon."

"Okay, I'm going to pick tomatoes in the backyard." Fang Monan got up and ran down the stone steps to the backyard to pick 'tomatoes and cucumbers'.

After lunch, Mr. Lin also came back from get off work. He usually eats lunch in the unit cafeteria, and comes home to settle dinner by himself.Grandma, aunt, Fang Monan went to find him together and talked about it.

After listening to the words, Mr. Lin thought for a while, and said, "Big girl, Xiaoyan reads newspapers these days. You must know that the national policy is open, so we don't violate the policy by doing this."

Grandma nodded happily when she heard what he said.

Mr. Lin looked at her and asked, "Do you want to continue working?" Seeing that grandma was happy, he quickly waved his hands, "Listen to me, although the policy allows it, but you also know that our county is small, and people's thoughts may still be stuck. At that time, you understand what I said," saw grandma nodding, and continued, "I am not afraid of other people's gossip, pointing, gossip and so on." He also nags some possible influences on grandma .

Seeing that the old man had spoken out what she was worried about earlier, Fang Monan felt relieved.Now it's up to grandma's choice. I looked at grandma nervously, fearing that she would retreat in the end, and I could see that I couldn't help. These are all things that need to be connected with her. Others can't help, so I can only wait anxiously. with.

Auntie was also on the side, rubbing her hands, looking at grandma nervously, unexpectedly!After careful calculation, if she set up a steamed bun stand, she would earn more than her.Money touches people's hearts, she is a little excited, but she is afraid that her grandma will not do it.She worked in the county party committee and had contact with many people, and she had heard similar things.At that time, she thought about what she would do if she encountered such a thing. Now that it was her turn, she was not afraid of what others would say!People in the whole county probably knew about the messy things about their family when they quarreled with their elder brother and got bruised and swollen. Was she still afraid that other people's gossip would affect her?

The room was silent, only the annoying cicadas were heard outside the tree. From the beginning, grandma was excited, but was poured by the old man with a basin of cold water. She lowered her head and thought calmly for a long time. Then she raised her head and faced him firmly. Said: "I want to do it. I'm not afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks. I'm so old that I can't see through anything. Seeing my granddaughter can't even eat meat for a year, I feel distressed; My heart aches for moving bricks and mud all day, doing the job of a big man; Nannan's mother and her father are three points short in front of her in-laws, it's just that they have no money to make trouble, and the family is miserable. Do it, why not do it , The policies allow it, so what am I afraid of, as for those who gossip, I am not afraid."'Grandma said as she shed tears.

Grandma thought of her second sister in the countryside again, the two morning conversations between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law touched her greatly.She wiped away her tears, and said more firmly: "I'll do it, if there is anything else you need to pay attention to, you can tell me now."

My aunt also shed tears when she heard grandma's words, and when she heard her mother's distressed words, she was even more moved and just called "Mom...Mom..."

Fang Monan ran to grandma and hugged her and said, "Grandma, you are awesome!"

Mr. Lin waited for the family to vent their emotions, and said to his aunt, "Go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau tomorrow to apply for a business license and handling fees."

My aunt said: "No need to go tomorrow morning, I will go in the afternoon. I will go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau first, and then I will go to the police and taxation departments. I will ask all the departments. Although people are leaving the tea, my old man also knew a few people when he was still there. Even if I cry, I will ask them to help, let's do it, and don't bother us anymore."

"It's good if you know," Mr. Lin nodded. It's just right to have an aunt going, orphans and widows. Besides, when Mr. Mo was alive, he was a good person, and those people were too embarrassed to bully them, and there were people covering them to enjoy the shade when they set up a stall. . "The stall is in front of the high school. Let me tell you. After all, I am also from the Bureau of Culture and Education. The principal of the county high school knows me very well. I guess it's not a big problem if I say hello."

Listening to their discussion, Fang Monan realized that there are people in the court who are good at handling things, and they are related to Huaxia, and they have to be related to everything, even setting up a stall has to be related.Otherwise, wait to be kicked out!Networks are actually a kind of wealth.

Fang Monan is even more gratified that grandma's final decision may be because of poverty!Finally, the first step has been taken, and now we can only start with the simplest items of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. The purchasing power of the county is not strong, and no one buys things that are too expensive.Yi, Fang Monan has an idea, but she can't start here, she has to enter the space from other places at night and then add up, her first pot of gold may be settled soon.

Only when grandma earns money can Fang Monan's food be eaten openly.It doesn't feel good to eat alone and have nothing to share with the family.

One afternoon, my aunt asked for leave and didn't go to work. She ran all the connections that could be used on this street. When she came back, her eyes were red. Smile, it seems that things are done.In the evening, Mr. Lin also said that there is no problem setting up a stall at the gate of the high school. He also told my aunt the good news. He won her a qualification to attend and told her to study hard.

My aunt jumped up happily, promising to study hard and live up to their expectations.

Grandma's first step has been taken like this. Maybe there will be more troubles and problems in the future, but Fang Monan believes that they will be able to overcome them. [

The next day, Fang Monan took advantage of the fact that it was not too hot, and her grandma started steaming steamed buns after eight o'clock. She asked her grandma for eight cents, and went to the post office to buy stamps to send the letter.The people at the post office thought she was small and ignorant, so they didn't want to sell her.But when she heard that the adults in the family had something to do, she came here for them, and she was able to let her go, and she was cute, with a sweet mouth, and the people at the post office were enthusiastic about putting stamps on her to send things.It's not at all like the ugly faces, ugly words, and difficult things that are usually seen in state-owned units. It must be because she is too cute, Fang Monan thought so smugly.

Looking at a big bulging envelope sent away, inside are five clothing design drawings that Fang Monan worked hard in the space all morning picking and drawing, thanks to the fact that when he worked in an American clothing store, the store not only sold There are also a lot of famous brand clothing and clothing magazines, including nostalgic classic series, and she has read a lot in her spare time. Although she couldn't afford those clothes at the time, it doesn't prevent her from enjoying them!

The most important thing is that the store where Fang Monan is located accepts customization, so she is not very good at drawing in this store. She learned first-hand clothing drawing, and also learned how to cut, so that when she wanted to quit, the boss No matter what, she refuses to let her go. Although she has no talent in design, she is willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, and she is rigorous in her work.

Clothing design drawings are not just a simple drawing of a style. A small piece of clothing looks simple but contains countless small details. How to design to highlight different features, how to design to make it comfortable to wear, shoulders, waist and The crotch, the buttocks have their own little mysteries contained in them.In addition to the style, color matching, collocation, and the side of the clothing, Fang Monan succeeded in "stealing" in this area, and he is very professional.
