Rebirth 85: Profits start from repairing sewing machines

Chapter 3 The First Money
Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't answer, the factory manager was a little embarrassed.

"Factory Manager, it's not impossible!" Chen Cheng said at this time, "Six yuan is six yuan!"

The factory is overjoyed.

This is a saving of four dollars!
Don't underestimate the four dollars. Now the per capita salary may not be forty. The average salary is just over one dollar a day. He can save four dollars, which is already a lot of money.

"Come, come, come!" The factory manager was generous and gave Chen Cheng six yuan.

Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

His current monthly rent is ten yuan, that is to say, there is still four yuan short of the rent.

No, you have to earn ten yuan!

"Director, the machines here should break down often, right?"

"Isn't it!" The factory manager said helplessly, "After all, the workload is heavy, it's like this."

"Or I'll do machine repairs for you guys!" Chen Cheng said his purpose.

The factory manager was startled, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Little brother, I can't afford you!"

You must know that the salary of a mechanic is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, at least about 45.

It costs three yuan a day.

Although it is said that the machine is easy to break, it only happens two or three times a month.

If you really ask a mechanic to come back, you will only be busy for two or three days, and you don’t have to work for the rest of the time. The factory manager himself feels that it is too wasteful.

"I don't need such a high salary!" Chen Cheng naturally understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Well, I won't stay with you permanently. If your car breaks down, you can find me. As for me, the monthly fee is also Not high, 20 yuan a month, if you break it, call me to fix it, and I can do other things in normal time, so that your cost is saved, and I also save time, right?"

The factory manager was stunned for a moment, this idea was unexpected to him.

"Look, if you repair it like this once, your machine will cost ten yuan, and if you repair it three times a month, it may cost thirty!" Chen Cheng said, "If a few more machines are broken, you may need more money , and now you only need to give me 20 yuan a month, and I will be there whenever you are called, and I will not charge any money except for the replacement of equipment, what a deal!"

The factory manager thought about it and found that this business could really be done.

"Little brother, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true!" Chen Cheng said.

"Where is your shop?"

"Uh... I have just graduated from the teacher, and I don't have a store yet, but I will open it soon. I can give you the address of my home first, and then you can just come to my home to find me. If I am not at home, you can find me at I left a note at home. I will definitely come when I see it, and I won’t run away, so you can rest assured.” Chen Cheng assured.

After thinking for a while, the factory manager nodded, "That's fine, just as you said, 20 yuan a month, our car has an accident, you have to come and help us fix it, no extra charge."

"It's done!" Chen Cheng was overjoyed.

With my craft, I can finally make money!

"Then...then I have to pay one month's salary first!" Chen Cheng said.

The factory manager hesitated.

"Don't worry, the factory manager, do you think I rely on this craft to make a living, so can I blame myself?" Chen Cheng asked.

The factory manager thinks about it, right now, mechanic repair is a rare job now, can someone with this skill still be guilty of deceiving others?

Isn't that smashing your own job!

After figuring this out, he immediately gave Chen Cheng another 20 yuan!
Here it is!
Chen Cheng is overjoyed!

Enough, he earned enough to pay the rent!
"This is my home address!" Chen Cheng wrote down the address of the rented house, "My store has not opened yet, but my store will open soon, and then you can come and find me there, yes It will be near this street.”

"Okay!" The factory manager also laughed.

Soon, Chen Cheng took the money and left here.

When I got home, the first thing I did was to go to the landlord's house.

The landlord's house is actually next door to their house.

Seeing Chen Cheng approaching, Sister Lan was a little contemptuous.

"Don't plead with me. If you can't pay the rent tomorrow, then you will move out. I have already given you a chance!"

"I'm not here to plead!" Chen Cheng chuckled, and took out a ten-yuan note, "Here, this is our rent for this month."

Zhang Lan stood there stunned, a little dazed for a while.

"You... where did you get the money?"

Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Sister Lan, I earned this money, why do you care so much, come on, take it, don't ask my wife for rent, if you want rent in the future, just come to me."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng turned his head and walked away gracefully.

"Virtue, I'm happy to be like this with a few dollars!" Sister Lan was a little unconvinced, "It's not a useless thing!"

Chen Cheng ignored him, and returned home humming a little song.

I ate some noodles in a hurry, and it was lunch.

In the afternoon, Chen Cheng went to the vegetable market.

I bought some meat and some vegetables, and it cost a total of one and thirty cents!

It is unimaginable!

After returning home, he started to get busy.

Cut the pork into cubes and cook with some potatoes.

I chopped some minced meat, stuffed bitter gourd, and stuffed eggplant, and finally fried a vegetable.

perfect!

After doing all this, I still feel that it is not enough.

Chen Cheng went to the canteen again and bought two bottles of Jianlibao!
In 84, with the help of the Olympic Games, Jianlibao became popular.

At that time, it cost one yuan and five cans!
Of course, for the Chinese people at that time, it was still very expensive, after all, the wages per day were only more than one yuan.

It can be said to be a luxury!
After doing all this, Chen Cheng waited for the two of them to come back.

After waiting until around seven o'clock, the two came back exhausted.

Compared to Shen Zhihua, Nian Nian was in good spirits, and walked in bouncing around.

"Mom, it smells so good!" As soon as I came in, I saw a table full of dishes, as well as the two bottles of Jianlibao that I couldn't take away from my eyes anymore.

Niannian immediately smacked her lips.

Shen Zhihua was exhausted enough.

Today she gritted her teeth, and in the end she only moved two trucks of bricks, and was scolded by the driver for wasting time.

Mental and mental exhaustion, but only earned two dollars!
But when she saw the dishes on the table, her face turned pale instantly.

Tears fell down without disappointment!

"Zhihua!" Chen Cheng was taken aback.

"Chen Cheng, are you really going to force me to death!" Shen Zhihua seemed to be collapsing, "You... Who are you going to invite to dinner? There are drinks and meat, how much did you spend!"

She worked so hard to earn two yuan, but when she looked back, she realized that it was not enough for Chen Cheng's meal.

She is desperate!

It's like falling into a bottomless abyss.

"Zhihua, don't get me wrong, I didn't invite anyone to dinner, just our family..." Chen Cheng quickly explained.

"Stop talking!" Shen Zhihua suddenly broke out, "I've had enough, I've really had enough! Don't lie to me anymore, don't lie to me!"

Niannian looked at Chen Cheng in fear, for fear that Chen Cheng would be violent to her mother.

"Zhihua, I didn't borrow any money. I made money today. This is the food I bought with the money I earned. I know you have worked hard these days. I specially cook the food for you, really!"

what?
Shen Zhihua was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong.
