A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 192 [192] Zhuo Kee Snacks (3000)

No matter what others think, anyway, Zhuo Lin thinks that eating delicious food in this sneaky way is very exciting and very old-fashioned.

Parents are people who have survived hard times, and there is no room for waste. Even if they drink porridge, the bowl must be licked clean.

The oil in this era is not greasy at all, and it can be licked clean, so why use dish soap, hot water, plant ashes, etc. to clean it?

That is simply a waste of raw materials!
Of course, there was no dish soap to use either.

Tired from traveling all the way, my stomach was already growling, so when the food was served on the table and everyone was seated, the family enjoyed a good meal in an excellent atmosphere. The most important thing was that no one came to disturb them, especially comfort!

No matter what time it is, Zhuo Lin will always be the most popular and cherished one. At the dinner table, her parents will give her food, and ask her about her life in school with concern. She didn't say anything about being expelled. The family also kept it a secret, so her parents didn't know about it, so naturally she wouldn't be so stupid as to just tell it.

After dinner, Zhuo Lin helped her mother clean up. In this era, the kitchen is in the corridor, and the water room is also in the public area. It is not similar to the scene in the TV series "Golden Wedding", but it is exactly the same, so when the mother and daughter are holding the bowls and chopsticks When going to the water room, the neighbors praised her vigorously.

One or two neighbors even asked her if she was free during the winter vacation and if she could help their children with their homework. "Of course, there must be a benefit fee."

Before Zhuo Lin could say anything, Wang Juan refused: "My child is tired from studying at school. I plan to let her relax when she comes back. I didn't even ask her to help in the shop. I'm going back to my hometown early tomorrow morning, so I'm sorry. Ah, I'm afraid I can't help you."

The other party was disappointed, but they didn't show it, but when they turned their heads, Zhuo Lin clearly saw their mouths raised.

"Mom, aren't you afraid of offending them?"

Wang Juan is a confident person now, and she is not worried about offending them at all.

"What offends them? Their families don't have your father's right to speak in the factory, they don't have my ability to make money, and their children don't have my confidence. In the future, they will have more opportunities to curry favor with us. What am I afraid of? What should I be afraid of?" It's them, not me!"

Zhuo Lin raised her eyebrows, "Mom, you have changed, you have become more philistine, and the reality is also in line with the laws of this society."

Wang Juan couldn't help but glared at her: "Daughter Rabbit, I'm you. Mom, how can a girl say that? I'm a philistine? I'm a petty citizen, and I've been busy all day in my small restaurant. You say I'm unrealistic Is it possible? Let me tell you, people’s hearts are the most vulnerable in this world, and I have no interest relationship with them, why can’t I refuse them? Listening to you, you still think I’m meddling in my own business?”

"No, no, mom, that's not what I meant. It's just that some people may not be able to say no because of the face of their neighbors. In fact, I think you and your aunt did the right thing. You have to refuse when you should. It doesn't matter. It's best to stay far away, only in this way will there be no embarrassing incidents."

"My daughter knows a lot. The fact is that it must be like this. You don't know how many wonderful people I have met in the past few years. Some people are unimaginably mean. The service industry is not good, especially like this The neighbors in the building, as long as they go to buy things from me, there will be people who talk to me and insist on asking me to give them a cheap price. You say that my things are not unsalable, and I need their support? The most important thing is that they are justified. , as if without them, my business would not be able to continue, and in the end I had to hang up the sign of 'no bargaining', I am in business, not to help the poor!"

"Mom, to be honest, don't you really want us to help you here?"

Wang Juan shook her head, "What can I do for you? I hired hourly workers. Once I paid them, they would come and do it for me. You hold pens in your hands, so you don't need to work for me. Take it if you feel like it, sir." You don’t need to waste time here, it’s really boring, I’ll go to the library with your brother in a while, buy a few books and go home to read, now we can still do it, when we can’t do it, there are more opportunities Let you take care of us in turn."

Now Wang Juan's snack bar has expanded to three or four rooms, a large store of one or two hundred square meters, two nephews, nephew's wife, and her, a total of five people, and two housewives with difficult family life during the morning, middle and peak periods Come and help, steady and busy job.

In the morning, it sells hot and spicy soup, tofu nao, buns, fried dough sticks and other special breakfasts in southern Henan. At noon, it sells noodles, hot dry noodles, rice noodles, stewed noodles, and wontons. There are ordinary snack bars, and she has them here, and they are all They are freshly made, and in summer they are all arranged as cold noodles, cold dishes, etc. In winter, they are mainly hot food, because it is right at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there are people coming and going every day, and the business is really good. The most important thing is that this dish There is a bus station behind the market, so there is no shortage of customers in their house. After all, the taste of these snacks has been carefully thought out by her and Tao Yi.

The 5000-square-meter shop also has its own backyard and deep well. It cost [-] yuan to get it all down. It was cheap when there was only one shop at the beginning. Later, their business got better and the surrounding shops were crowded. To sell, the price was raised a lot. In order to open up these stores, Wang had to spend a high price.

Of course, these costs were quickly paid back. The backyard can be used as a place for people to live in, and it can also be used as a warehouse, and the excess can be rented out. Anyway, it is not a loss.

Moreover, Zhuoji Snacks has been working for so many years, and it has long gained a reputation. Not only has Wang Juan collected money without making any mistakes, but even the greetings and deliveries, and the communication with other small businesses and hawkers, have gradually tended to be strong women. The aunt was born strong, and her mother was cultivated the day after tomorrow, and her talent was extremely strong.

"When it's good, I can make a net profit of fifty or sixty every day. In normal times, I can make a net profit of twenty or thirty. It's a net profit, and all expenses such as salary costs are thrown out. Anyway, I think it's better than your father who worked hard for a month. Four fifty yuan is too much."

"My dad's salary has also increased?"

Wang Juan nodded, "It's gone up, and now I have become a master teacher. I have three apprentices by myself, and I have an income of 60 yuan a month."

Her parents' business is stable and they have money in their hands. Zhuo Lin is very happy, but at the same time, she has a new idea.

"Mom, have you ever thought about opening our shop to the capital?"

Wang was taken aback, Zhuoer and Tao Yi came over curiously after hearing this, "The capital city? That's at the foot of the former emperor, can it work?"

Tao Yi smiled and said, "I think it's okay. The two cousins ​​are very proficient in what they do now. Leave the couple to watch this store. Mom, you take the other couple to open a new store. We have experience in management and operation. When we arrive Over there, it is nothing more than finding a suitable shop, so that Linlin can see you often, right?"

Wang Juan had never thought about this question before, she hesitated for a while, Tao Yi said again.

"Zhuo Jian's goal is Beijing University. If he can pass the exam, we will have a home in BJ. Or more directly, hand over the shop in the county town to your nephew to take care of it. You will go to Beijing alone and start from a small shop. Do it, if you are too busy, you can hire temporary workers like here. The shop here is still ours, and Dad is watching at home, so there will be no major problems. The only downside is that you and Dad need to be separated for a long time ready."

Wang pursed her lips, frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and finally decided.

"I can't decide this matter. I will discuss it with your father after I discuss it."

Zhuo Lin naturally had no objection, but she still talked about her stall. When she heard that she set up a stall, Wang was stunned.

"You don't study hard, what kind of stall are you setting up? What a nonsense, our family is short of your tens of dollars a month for spending?"

Hearing that there were tens of dollars in pocket money every month, Zhuo Er pouted at the side and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Auntie, are you and my mother too eccentric? We only have ten yuan a month for living expenses, why does she have dozens of dollars?"

The most important thing is not that one person gives dozens of dollars, but two people give it. It seems that he and his mother also have pocket money, and Zhuo Lin, a miser, has never refused.

"I'm the only girl in our family, of course it's a different matter! Besides, I'm still a child, I have to eat better, and girls like to be pretty, so how much pocket money do my parents and uncles and aunts give me? "

Zhuoer stared straight at the eyes: "That's right, you have so much pocket money, why do you still want to set up a stall? Are you fooling around?"

But Zhuo Lin didn't think: "This is not nonsense, what you give me is for me, I earn it myself, I earn it myself, the two don't conflict, they can go hand in hand at the same time, besides, I just use weekends Time to set up stalls, not to mention too much every month, anyway, enough for me to eat and drink in our school, and it’s all the best. I feel very satisfied, I don’t feel hard at all, and I even feel very fulfilled Mom, come here, you don’t want to be far away from me, so it’s near the school, I’ll go to the school later to see if there’s any suitable shop for you, so I can see you often.”

"Why does it feel like you are setting up a stall for fun? Why do I usually feel the pressure of studying, and I don't think about anything at the weekend, I just want to sleep well. Since you are studying medicine, you shouldn't be more relaxed than us!"

Zhuo Lin snorted coldly: "Can you compare with me? I'm a genius, and you can't spy on the learning methods of a genius. Don't worry, I will keep my grades and not fall behind. Mom, you and my dad have to think about it carefully." , Actually, I think he can resign from his current job, but he likes this, and we can't force it, so it's just you two who are separated for a while."

"How can it be said that it is wind or rain? Alright, I still have to go to the store to have a look. You guys rest at home, and when you come to the restaurant in the evening, let's get together with your cousins ​​and sisters-in-law and have a good meal. Here It's inconvenient, you guys will come over together when your dad gets off work, and I'll go first."

With something on her mind, Wang Juan went back to the snack bar first.

　In the past few days, I have been queuing up for vaccinations, children's kindergarten rehearsals, and I have gone to help, tutoring homework, picking up and dropping off when they arrive, alas, it's hard to describe, I'm too busy, please forgive me for not being punctual.
