90s Little Struggle

Chapter 38 Gossip
"It's really not easy to start a business." Mrs. Zhao smiled shyly, and left in doubt.

Only then did Wu Julan complain with a gloomy face: "It's a shame that she said this. I said why she keeps coming to our house recently. So that's the idea?"

Xiao Hong understood her thoughts very well: "She is afraid of losing money in business. She is worried that her capital will be wasted. Now that she knows that our business is profitable, she is naturally jealous."

This is the tragedy of the poor!

They can't afford to lose, so they can only stare at how others make money and want to follow suit.

But I didn't expect that the market was so big that it was impossible to keep up.

In the end, it will evolve into malicious competition, and the final profit will be less and less.

"Then what should we do now?" Wu Julan thought that she hadn't avoided the second sister-in-law in the past, and her intestines were green with regret: "These days she came to steal a teacher to learn art, so she will definitely come to steal our business. "

Xiao Hong went to open the seasoning jars, and after counting them, she understood what was going on: "Mom, our family's seasoning packets are missing a packet."

Wu Julan took a deep breath and trembled all over: "I, I'll go get it back!"

"No need." Xiao Hong hurriedly pulled her: "I grind some seasonings into powder, and they can't recognize them."

There is no motherhood yet, in fact, in more than ten years, these can be roughly found on the Internet, and they cannot be regarded as secret recipes at all.

Besides, she didn't intend to do this for a long time.

Even if there is no place to buy goods and cannot open a clothing store, it is not difficult to open a small restaurant.

Her eyes scanned her mother's belly, and according to the progress in her dream, she should be pregnant too.

Then Wu Julan can be considered an advanced maternal age, and it would be more at ease to live outside.

Besides, if they live outside, she and her sister can also go to school, instead of living on campus.

She is really not used to the current dormitory where more than ten or twenty people live together.

Wu Julan still had a sad expression on her face: "They don't want us to be happy, they see that we have made some money, so they follow us to grab business."

"Mom, let's go to the town and open a small shop?" Xiao Hong urged her solemnly: "We have done business now, and we have a bottom line in our hearts. We can sell wonton dumplings, and we can also sell lo-mei in the store. We can definitely make money of."

As for buns and steamed buns, that was their shortcoming. None of them could make buns look good, so she didn't dare to think about it.

But for wonton dumplings, she can adjust the meat filling, and her stepfather can roll out the dough. Even if the mother is pregnant by then, she won't be too tired.

Wu Julan was a little moved when she heard this, but she was also worried: "There are already two dumpling and noodle shops in the town. If we start this business again, will there be any customers?"

"There are a lot of people in the town, and there will be no shortage of customers if we open two more." Xiao Hong has already begun to think about where to open the store: "Now there is one in the vegetable market and one near the hospital. We can consider opening it next to the high school. .”

Wu Julan was a little worried: "But there is a cafeteria in high school? Will anyone eat it?"

"The three meals in the cafeteria are simple, and there will be no food after that. High school students are growing up, and they will be hungry before the hour. They will definitely be willing to eat something delicious after evening self-study." Xiao Hong thought, from ancient times to the present, It is the best money for children.

Especially high school students, not only are they tall, but also they are under a lot of pressure to study, and the food in the cafeteria is not good, and there is little oil and water.

Open there, after morning self-study and evening self-study, there must be more people visiting their store.

Wu Julan was also a little moved when she finished speaking: "Then when we have dinner, ask your uncle what he thinks."

On the dinner table, there are braised crucian carp in soy sauce, stir-fried beans, especially fried tomatoes with eggs, which are very simple and delicious home-cooked dishes.

After eating, Xiao Fang got up and wanted to clear the table, Wu Julan said: "Fang wait a minute, let's talk about something, what we sell now, people will follow suit, I want to open a small shop near the school."

She repeated Xiao Hong's previous advice to herself.

I said again that Mrs. Zhao Ersao secretly learned her own craft and wanted to sell lo-mei.

In the end, she looked at the three daughters and added: "In this way, Yanyan can also go to the town to study in elementary school, and we can take care of you, what do you think?"

Now that the two daughters have grown up, they are slim and graceful, and there is another incident of robbery by the former bastard, she is really worried about their safety.

Xiao Fang's heart moved after hearing this: "Dad, I think Mom's idea is good. The Qiancun Primary School is mixed with different ages. It is really not as good as the primary school in the town."

Yanyan is even more excited, she likes the town very much, they use electricity instead of kerosene lamps, especially a store with a TV and a lot of delicious food: "Great, let's go to the town then? "

"Really go to the town?" Zhao Laosi was a little flustered: "If you go to the town to open a restaurant, the cost is not small, and the storefront may not be cheap, and you need to rent a place, all of which will cost money! No three 400 yuan I'm afraid I won't be able to settle down."

"To so much?" Wu Julan gasped when she heard that so much money was required, and retreated: "Then let's do this business first, and we can earn as much as we can!"

She looked at the disappointed faces of her three daughters, and forced a smile: "Let's take our time, it's good to do small business like this now, there is no need for a storefront, and the capital is not much."

Xiao Hong realized that they had no urgency to make money.

And they tend to be conservative.

If you think about it carefully, it's not that they are too timid, but that they may only save one or two hundred a year in the past.

Now I want to open a shop and start a business, but I am worried that I will lose so much money.

"Mom, I've saved more than 300 yuan in this business." Xiao Hong said simply: "I'll take it all out, and you can use it first. If you lose money, it's our busy work these days. If you earn it, wait until the New Year. Give it to me again, okay?"

Wu Julan quickly declined: "How can I ask for your money!"

Xiao Hong smiled: "Believe me, this food business won't lose much, and we will definitely make money."

"I think you are still young now, we are a family, and we have money, so it doesn't matter if we try."

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, she raised her foot and stepped on the foot of the younger sister next to her, and asked her to help herself with actions.

When Xiao Fang heard this, she glanced at Xiao Hong with complicated eyes, and finally said: "Mom and Dad, I also think what my sister said makes sense. We have also sold lo-mei, and we can indeed make money."

Fourth Zhao clenched his fists, and finally nodded: "You are right, I will go to the town tomorrow to see if there is a suitable store."

The whole family started discussing for a while, and then Zhao Laosi put on his long rain boots, carried some bamboo cages, and held a flashlight, and went to get out of the cages in the dark.

When he came back, the three daughters had already gone upstairs, so he took a shower in the corner of the yard with a bucket of cold water before returning to his room.
