Seeing that Shen Huai had a good attitude of admitting his mistake, and was very polite in delivering the freezer again, Chen Yuan stopped embarrassing the other party: "Come back when you find time to let Shen Mingyuan rest, I think his matter is not easy to solve, but it's not No chance at all."
Shen Huai was very happy when he heard it, and he didn't know how much cold eyes his brother had received, so he also felt distressed, and was very excited for a while: "Chen Yuan, thank you."
"You're welcome, I wish him well too." Chen Yuan found that after she agreed to this topic, Shen Huai's index increased again. Shen Huai's index is now [35], and it is also because of the joint relationship, so as long as she helps Shen Mingyuan, she can't help but You can get Shen Mingyuan's happiness value, and you can still get Shen Huai's index, and the three children can have a similar situation.
So of course she will not let go of any chance to generate energy, and Shen Mingyuan's help must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
It has been several days since Shen Mingyuan received the news from Shen Huai, because their newspaper office only has one day off work a month, and there is something at home that requires him to come back to help.
He resolutely agreed, and rushed home as soon as the holiday was over, because Shen Huai's house was very close to Shen Chang'an's house, and Shen Mingyuan didn't know if he was afraid of Shen Chang'an, so when he passed by their house, he deliberately lowered his voice. Fortunately, I didn't meet any acquaintances.
As soon as Shen Mingyuan entered the house, he saw Chen Yuan and two neighbors were making dumplings. He greeted him and asked, "Second sister-in-law, can I help you with anything? My second brother said that there is something at home, so let me come back."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the house happens to be making dumplings, and you're here just in time, let's come and make dumplings together."
Shen Mingyuan's body trembled, nodded, and carefully glanced at Jiang Yuexiang and Mrs. Wu who were sitting on the side. Seeing that the two did not show any strange expressions, but looked at him with a kind smile, they relaxed. He took a breath and smiled at the two of them.
He washed his hands, found a place to sit down, and carefully took a dumpling wrapper with his somewhat unnatural arms, and was surprised to find that the dumpling wrapper was emerald green, very thin in the palm of his hand, but very resilient , the shape is very beautiful, and the second sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really clever.
Shen Mingyuan's posture has always been weirder than normal. His disease is a neurological problem, which cannot be treated at all. Chen Yuan thinks that the medical technology of 5035 can be cured, but at that time, such diseases did not exist anymore.
There is no good way now, but Chen Yuan remembers a few very effective rehabilitation therapies, and when he has the opportunity, give it to Shen Mingyuan to let him practice more. If the effect is good, at least he can control his body to reduce tremors, and his appearance should be as similar as possible. Like a normal person, this should be what he wanted.
Not long after Chen Yuan made the dumpling wrappers, she got up and said, "You guys go wrap the dumpling wrappers first, and I'll boil the water. After the children are out of school, we can start cooking."
"Okay, I'll leave it to us, go get busy." Jiang Yuexiang waved her hands and said briskly. She and Mrs. Wu are now more and more fond of running to Chen Yuan's house. Originally, the men in the family still had opinions. As a result, a piece of pajamas was stuffed in and immediately shut up. They liked it very much, and encouraged them to come and visit Chen Yuan often.
Her family's old man, Gao, chooses to show off his pajamas when he goes to work, and others envy him when he sees them. Everyone in the work unit thinks his wife is good at craftsmanship. Moved here to be a neighbor, because too many people were tempted, and the land prices in nearby communities increased.
Jiang Yuexiang had to admire Chen Yuan's ability, which seemed to attract everyone's attention casually.
After Chen Yuan went to the kitchen to boil water, Shen Mingyuan felt that the atmosphere in the room became even more anxious. The main reason was that he was not familiar with the two elder sisters, so he had nothing to say, and the main reason was that he was afraid that the elder sisters would ask him about his situation, or Think about those three aunts and six wives talking about Zhou Qingmei before.
But what he imagined didn't happen. The two elder sisters were just chatting on their own and didn't notice him at all. Shen Mingyuan heaved a sigh of relief and sat aside quietly making dumplings.
Jiang Yuexiang and Mrs. Wu said: "Now I see that there are apples shipped from the south for sale on the street. They seem to be shipped by private individuals. They look very fresh. How much is a catty?"
"I just asked when I came here, eighty-five cents a catty."
"It's so expensive, grab your money."
"If it's not expensive, I'll buy some for my children to taste. The huge red apples look bright red, and I think they will be delicious. No matter how expensive they are, there will be people snapping them up. There will be no shortage of rich people at any time. "
"You're right. I'm reluctant to part with such expensive fruit. That thing just satisfies my hunger and can't be eaten as a meal."
"Speaking of which, you said that these outsiders have a lot of brains. If you send apples to us, the price can be tripled. After removing the gas money and labor, it is definitely a profitable business. That truckload of apples It’s definitely not a problem to earn a few hundred dollars.”
"Earning so much, isn't it better than going to work? No wonder people like to be a loser now. This is a lucrative business. If you do it well, you can definitely make a fortune."
Shen Mingyuan clucked his tongue as he listened to it, he didn't expect this apple to be so expensive, one apple could cover his two days' food expenses, steamed buns cost a few cents, and a catty of apples was only eighty-five cents, how many steamed buns could he buy? And it's really profitable. A few hundred yuan is an astronomical figure for him. He still owes his second brother money. After this month's salary is paid and the twenty yuan compensation is paid, there is nothing left. What money, so it is really difficult to make money.
Why is it so easy for others to make money? There is a huge gap between people.
"If you do it well, you can make a fortune, but there are also those who still lose money. I have a relative who is a good civil servant who doesn't want to work anymore. He insists on suspending pay and staying in his job. When he sees others going to sea to make money, he also goes to sea to do business, and he loses in the end. He went bankrupt, and came back to work in despair this year, tossing around for a while, he said that he is not smart for business, and it is better to have a job."
"That's right, there are different people in doing business. Some people lose money, but some people can make money. But remember not to be too ambitious, and do it in a down-to-earth manner. Whether you succeed or not in the end is a matter of courage. At least you know What kind of path is suitable for me to take, if it doesn’t work, I can go back to the original point and continue my original life, if I live in the safe zone all the time, then life is impossible and nothing will be achieved.”
Shen Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat suddenly when he heard these words, and he felt a little empathy, but he didn't say anything, but continued to listen carefully.
"It's normal to have risks in doing business. In fact, everything you do in life has risks, but it depends on whether you can bear this risk. After all, wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as you are willing to work, you will definitely get results, and you must seize opportunities while you are young. , It’s too late to regret it when I’m old.”
"You're right, but I don't have that brain. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Only those who are bold and cautious can succeed. I am timid, so I dare not do business."
"If you don't try, you may never know if you are the material, so this is the difference between successful people and ordinary people."
What Jiang Yuexiang and Mrs. Wu said was heard by Shen Mingyuan. Seeing that he was lost in thought, the two of them gave each other a wink. Feeling that the words must have worked, Shen Mingyuan nodded secretly. Their acting skills are really good.
Today's words are the beginning of changing Shen Mingyuan's thinking. As long as he has this awareness and is willing to work hard in this direction, his efforts will not be in vain.
Chen Yuan didn't say it herself, but asked Jiang Yuexiang and Mrs. Wu to convey it in a dialogue. It was because she didn't want to turn this purpose into a preaching, which would change the nature and make the other party feel more pressured. If Shen Mingyuan misunderstood In my own opinion, it backfired.
So the whole process is easy to listen in, and that's the best way to achieve the best results. When Chen Yuan came out of the kitchen, she saw the pensive expression on Shen Mingyuan's face and the winks from Jiang Yuexiang and the others, and she knew that the matter was successful. I owe the east wind.
At this time, Dongfeng also came back, and Shen Huai had just arrived home with two bags of big red apples in his hands. Shen Mingyuan knew at a glance that this was the kind Jiang Yuexiang and the others were talking about just now.
Shen Huai took out the apples, washed them, put them on the plate, and said to everyone: "Come and eat the apples, this apple tastes very good. I saw a lot of people buying apples at the intersection, and they were all scrambling for apples. They waited in line for a long time to get them." of.
Shen Mingyuan looked at the apple handed by the second brother, the words of the eldest sister just now felt very real now, such an expensive apple just thought that it was so expensive, would anyone really buy it? Now his second brother bought it, and he bought a lot of it, and he queued up to buy it. Is it really so easy to sell
Picking up the red apple, he put it in his mouth and took a bite. It tasted very crisp and sweet. No wonder it was so expensive, because it was really delicious. He had never eaten such a delicious apple.
And it's eighty-five cents a catty, it tastes so sweet, it tastes crisp, and it tastes so happy.
Chen Yuan next to him suddenly fell silent, eating an apple would make the child happy enough, and he was too satisfied.
This apple left a deep impression on Shen Mingyuan. Although it tasted good when he ate the dumplings, he was absent-minded all the time while eating. When the meal was over, he left early.
Shen Mingyuan left Shen Huai's house to look for the place to buy apples according to what they said. Sure enough, he found a lot of loose apples on a truck. At this time, there were still many people buying around, but the number of apples on the truck was not much anymore. , most of the car has been sold short. The leading apple seller shouted at the crowd with a loudspeaker: "Go and have a look at the fresh apples. They are delicious. If you don't buy them today, you will have to wait until next week."
After the group of apple buyers sold them all, they would take another cart to go back. It took about four or five days on the road, but every time the business was very good, the apples sold quickly, and the long distance transportation was worth it.
Not long after, the apples had been robbed, and Shen Mingyuan saw that the last few pockets of apples were also sold out, leaving only some bruised ones, but generally speaking, there were not many left, and the other party's business was really good.
He is envious when he sees other people doing business and making money, and he also feels that he is just physically disabled and not stupid. Anyone who has a job can break away from the circle and go into business. Most of the fines are fined, so it can be said that he has nothing, and people are not afraid, so what is he afraid of? If you don't make money, it's a big deal that you are still as useless as you are now.
If you never dare to step out of your comfort zone, you will probably accomplish nothing all your life, and you will definitely regret it when you get old.
Shen Mingyuan was determined to fight for his own life. From that day on, he had been paying attention to which stalls on the street had good business and which stalls had low capital.
Because he only has more than seventy yuan on him, he borrowed it from his second brother. If the business is too big, he really dare not touch it. If you are cautious, you will go hard, and it is easy to fail and return.
Of course, Shen Mingyuan had to think carefully about which business was most suitable for him.
Catering and selling snacks is pretty good, but he doesn't know any craftsmanship, so it's impossible to make amazing flavors.
Moreover, his movements are a bit too slow. A normal person spreads a pancake quickly and finishes it very quickly. After he is proficient, he cannot be very fast. Most customers will not wait patiently and will choose other stalls. The frequency of hand shaking leads to high error rate, and the early practice is a waste of materials. It is very likely that the materials are used up and he has not practiced well.
Selling vegetables and fruits requires trucks and stores, and the investment cost is even higher. He is poor and empty now, and he can't afford to bother.
Besides, it is not good to sell clothes, it is easy to throw the goods in the hands.
After much deliberation, there were really few business deals that suited him. Shen Mingyuan was a little depressed, and his ambitions were not as optimistic as before, but he still did not give up going to the market, and he would definitely go to the market every day during his lunch break and after get off work.
He never gave up on doing business in his mind. Finally, one day, Shen Mingyuan saw an old man selling melon seeds on the street. The melon seeds he sold were measured in glass cups, and each cup cost ten cents.
The melon seeds are fried, Shen Mingyuan bought some to try, the taste is very fragrant, very addictive, and the melon seeds in this cup were eaten up very quickly without knowing it.
He watched secretly from the side, and found that sometimes the old man would put his thumb into the teacup quietly, so that the space in the teacup would be occupied by his fingers, and the amount of melon seeds in a cup would be reduced a lot. He didn’t know that he was selling melon seeds just now. When, did he zoom in on the thumb.
Shen Mingyuan is not ashamed of this kind of behavior of cutting corners and materials. It seems that there is nothing wrong with doing business. This is not a businessman of his duty.
But this business looks good to him, as long as there is a basket for melon seeds, a mobile stall can be set up anytime and anywhere.
This old man's business is mediocre. Although he is not very popular, he can't eat a fat man with one bite. The cost of this business is small, and the profit is also returned. Even if he loses money, the loss is small.
Just do what you say, Shen Mingyuan bought tens of catties of raw melon seeds, asked a blacksmith to make an iron pot, and fried melon seeds at home. The work of frying melon seeds looks simple, but in fact it is not easy to operate, but it is a rough job, as long as you use your hands Just keep turning the shovel.
Because he was afraid of burning the pot, he kept paying attention to the fire underneath. After frying for a long time, he still felt that it was not very fragrant.
There was no way for Shen Mingyuan to start the second pot. The taste of this pot was much better, and his technique of frying melon seeds became more and more proficient. I feel that this action is relatively simple and does not require skills, as long as you have strength.
By the time the third pot was fried, Shen Mingyuan felt that the taste was very similar to that of the old man. His melon seeds were bigger and more satisfying to eat than the old man's. This was his advantage of melon seeds, and he hoped to attract customers.
Before selling them, Shen Mingyuan sent the melon seeds he fried to the Shen family for his second elder brother and second sister-in-law's children to taste them together. Because they were too much fried and they couldn't finish them, he even gave some to the landlord.
I also want to send some melon seeds to the two elder sisters who inspired him last time. Thanks to them for their words, I awakened myself in the mist, but when I told them these words, they kept laughing without saying anything. , feels weird.
Chen Yuan didn't expect Shen Mingyuan to move so fast. She thought that after being inspired, it would take a while for the other party to make up his mind. alright.
Although selling melon seeds does not make much money, the advantage is that the risk is small and the operation is very simple. It is very suitable for novice Xiaobai to do it, and he is also very discerning in his choices.
The moment Chen Yuan received Shen Mingyuan's fried melon seeds and put them into her mouth, she already noticed that something was wrong. There was a lot of black ash on the skin of the melon seeds. You might not be able to notice anything after eating one, but you can feel it if you eat it with your tongue. blackened.
The melon seeds inside the skin are very crisp, but not particularly fragrant. If the taste of nuts can be rated, this melon seeds can only be rated as one star. The taste inside is okay, but the outside is too black and gray.
In the process of frying, this kind of situation will inevitably occur, so the melon seeds should be cleaned, then fried and soaked, put on the stove and slowly roasted on a low heat, the taste of the melon seeds is the best, after all, the melon seeds are also A kind of snack, you can’t escape the taste when you eat it. Of course, the more delicious it is, the faster it will be sold. If it is not delicious, no one will care about it.
After get off work in the evening, Shen Mingyuan took his roasted melon seeds to the night market to sell them. In order to attract customers, he even wrote a sign beside him, saying that it was ten cents a cup.
It didn't take long for someone to take care of it and bought a cup of melon seeds, but it never opened again.
In the next few days, Shen Mingyuan didn't sell more than 2 catties of melon seeds, and he didn't know what went wrong with him. Although the old man's business wasn't that good, it wasn't so bad. He wanted to point out It may be more difficult to make money with this.
Moreover, if the raw melon seeds in the house were not fried, they would probably be moldy and infested with insects. He was really not willing to fail like this for the first time in business.
Shen Mingyuan suddenly felt like a dying fish on the cutting board, and he didn't want to give up any chance. He just got the salary from the newspaper yesterday, worked hard for a month, and only 5 yuan was left to make up for the loss. Gross 8 points, looking at such a shabby salary in my hand, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When she saw Shen Mingyuan again, Chen Yuan already guessed that his melon seeds business was not very good, so she took the initiative to tell her why she came.
"Third brother, I heard from your brother that you are in the melon seed business? Do you need help? My sister-in-law also wants to do this, why don't I invest money, how about you implement it?"
Shen Mingyuan was in distress, but he was not optimistic about the melon seeds business, so he explained to Chen Yuan seriously: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't agree, it's just that the melon seeds don't make money. I lost all my capital after working for a few days."
