After Shi Zhen set up the stall with Qian Qiqi that day, he turned on the radio and listened to the broadcast.
In the early morning, many radio stations were silent and only played some music. After getting up and looking for money for a while, I found one that played the morning news.
The two listened to the news while doing business.
Shi Zhen felt that the radio was worth buying, as it allowed him to understand the outside world.
You must know that although he was reborn, he has long forgotten many things in this period.
The radio that Shi Zhen bought was very precious, whether it was money or Guan Baiyu.
Especially Guan Baiyu, he usually hugs the radio as carefully as a child. When putting the radio on the table, he also needs to put a clean cloth under it.
The radio has been used for several days without interruption, and when the sound suddenly became "hissing" because of the lack of electricity, Guan Baiyu almost cried, lest it be broken, making Shi Zhen not only laughing and crying, but also a little sad.
The battery is not cheap, so Guan Baiyu will be more careful when listening to the recording. After he learned a few sentences with the radio in his arms, he immediately turned off the radio, and then recited while working, until he had memorized all the words of the sentence, and then he listened to the rest.
Shi Zhen looked at it, and it was really unpleasant, so he could only buy more batteries and put them back.
He has always been saving, but he also feels that the money that should be spent must be spent.
Moreover, he earns a lot of money.
Shi Zhen's rice ball business is very stable now, because the cost is not high, and the income is not bad, he can earn twenty or thirty a day.
As for Qianqi, some people said that the pork head was too fat and wanted to eat lean meat in a salad. Shi Zhen bought some lean meat and cooked it.
In addition, for the vegetarian salad dishes, they added kelp and bean sprouts, and they also began to sell 50 cents of vegan salad dishes.
Various changes have added a lot of business to the cooked food stall.
Now this cooked food stall is set up all day, and the net profit is about 50 yuan. After deducting the money, it can earn Shi Zhen about 40 yuan every day.
Shi Zhen was already thinking about adding more money to Qianqi. He was afraid that if he gave too little money, he would go out and do it alone.
Money has followed him in the last life, but not in this life.
There is also a fried skewer stall, as long as it doesn't rain, it's no problem to earn twenty.
In April, the city of J gets hot. Generally, it is enough to wear a long sleeve and a thin coat outside. Sometimes the sun is shining, and a short sleeve is enough.
At the same time, the rain also increased.
The rain didn't affect Shi Zhen and Qianqi too much. At most, Shi Zhen didn't sell fried skewers at night, but it affected the couple who learned from Shi Zhen and the others to sell cold-cut pork head meat.
The couple can't build a shed, so they can't set up a stall on a rainy day.
Sometimes they cooked too much pork head meat, and they didn't sell it the day before, and it rained the next day... In the end, they had to wait until it rained before selling.
Cold-cut pig head is salty and not easy to spoil, but if it is not well preserved, customers who are picky can still eat it wrong. His stall eventually caused some complaints from customers because the food was not fresh.
Forget it, the price of pork head meat is no longer as cheap as it was at first, and now it costs eighty cents a pound, so the profit is naturally less.
Setting up a stall is actually not that simple. The woman in this couple is fine, she is a down-to-earth business man, but the man has come out to set up a stall, but he is afraid of losing face. , I always want to give the worst part to others, but refuse to give a little bit of profit... Isn't this chasing guests
His business was getting worse and worse.
Suddenly one day, the man didn't come to set up the stall, and after the woman set up the stall by herself for a few days, she changed the things she was selling.
The people in the town basically have coal stoves in every household to boil water or something. This woman brings two coal stoves here every day. Put a large pot on each, one pot full of zongzi, and the other pot full of tea eggs—she sold zongzi and tea eggs instead, and the stall didn’t stay open all day. When Shi Zhen closed the stall, she followed Close the stall.
Shi Zhen felt that this woman was very smart.
In fact, if he had dumplings
The craftsmanship of zizi may also sell zongzi along the way, but he can't make zongzi, so he can only give up.
The people here eat meat dumplings, and the woman sells two kinds of dumplings, one with pure lean meat and one with pork belly, both for one yuan. There are about thirty or forty in a large pot. If each dumpling earns thirty or forty cents, She can earn ten yuan a day, plus tea eggs... She set up a stall in the morning, and she could earn ten or twenty dollars.
Zongzi are more expensive than rice balls, and fewer people buy them. It's not like he can sell more than 100 rice balls in one morning.
Without this family, it was good to get up and grab business with money, but soon other people followed suit. At the entrance of the junior high school in the town, someone set up a stall selling rice balls similar to Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen was also quite helpless, but this kind of small business never lacked imitators, and he couldn't stop it.
Fortunately, there are still a lot of people who come to buy rice balls from him, and some small workshops will order a dozen or 20 from him in advance.
Shi Zhen bought some bottled dairy beverages, namely AD calcium milk strawberry milk and the like, and put them on the side and sold them, and he could earn an extra dollar or two every day.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of April.
Shi Zhen didn't have any free time every day. After all this tossing, he could earn fairly well. After deducting the cost and various odds and ends, he could save an average of seventy or eighty per day.
Before buying a tricycle and a radio, he emptied his deposit twice, but at the end of April, Shi Zhen still had a deposit of 1,000 yuan.
This is the first thousand yuan he has earned in his life, and it is worth remembering.
But he wants to buy a gas stove. He wants to buy a coal stove... It costs money.
Before Shi Zhen could add things to the house again, Shi Xinghuo's work of repairing the river was finished, and he temporarily lost his job.
He's a tough guy, but it's also good, that is, he never slacks off, plus he's strong and strong enough, the bosses on the construction site, whether small or big, like him very much and close the accounts. In the Qing Dynasty, they all said that if there was a job next time, they would ask him to do a small job.
But even so, he still has no income at the moment.
Shi Zhen asked him to fight for himself and offered him five yuan a day's salary.
If Shi Xinghuo could do a little bit, Shi Zhen wouldn't give him such a low salary, but Shi Xinghuo really couldn't do a lot.
Fortunately, Shi Xinghuo was very satisfied with this salary, and even he was walking in the air recently.
When the work on their construction site was over, he got four hundred yuan at a time.
In addition to what Shi Zhen had saved for him before, he now has a deposit of 600 yuan!
In Anshan Town, there are also rich people who drive cars and take their big brothers. The cigarettes and alcohol that the bosses on the Shixinghuo construction site smoke and drink are very expensive.
If you were someone else, your mentality might get worse after seeing more of them, but Shi Xinghuo was different.
He didn't notice all that!
He just remembered what his parents told him - earn more money outside, and if you have money, you can marry a daughter-in-law.
And according to the situation in their village... he's already rich now.
Although it is not enough to marry a daughter-in-law, but if this continues, he will be able to marry a daughter-in-law by the end of the year!
Shi Xinghuo laughed every day, loudly answering Shi Zhen's words and doing the work he could.
For example, wearing fried skewers, he has no problem doing this.
With more people at his disposal, Shi Zhen is thinking about expanding his business... Ahem, he plans to add a variety of rice balls.
Glutinous rice is used to make rice balls, and there is a tradition of eating glutinous rice during local festivals.
The glutinous rice is divided into two kinds: sweet and salty. Shi Zhen liked a salty pork ribs glutinous rice very much in his previous life.
It was steamed with glutinous rice mixed with soy sauce lard and pork ribs.
If the rice balls are made into this flavor, they must be delicious!
Shi Zhen tried to cook a pot of glutinous rice with lard soy sauce and used it to knead the rice balls.
Wrapping fried dough sticks peanuts in lard soy sauce rice... It's so delicious! It definitely suits the taste of people who have no oil and water in their stomachs.
This kind of rice ball itself is salty, so it is not good to put pickles, but you can add a little crunchy mustard to improve the taste.
Shi Zhen also made egg skins and cut the end of ham. In the future... Wumao's rice balls are only
There is a small section of fried dough sticks, two or three peanuts and minced mustard and chopped green onion. If someone buys a one-yuan rice ball, they can give two pieces of fried dough sticks, more peanuts, and egg-skinned ham sausage.
On May 1st, schools and factories are all closed, but Shi Zhen and the others are not allowed to have a holiday, so they continue to sell their stalls as usual.
The breakfast business on the rest day is usually a little worse than usual. Although Shi Zhen has launched new products, he has not prepared much.
He used to sell a large pot of white rice every day, but this time he made half a pot of white rice and half a pot of soy sauce lard rice.
After arriving in town, Shi Zhen greeted people who were familiar with them, said that there was a new variety of rice balls today, and asked if they wanted them.
The glutinous rice cooked in soy sauce lard is really fragrant, plus the first time I saw it... Many people bought it.
This rice ball is a bit like a zongzi when eaten. Although the filling is not meat, it is still delicious. The most important thing is that a rice ball that can satisfy adults only costs fifty cents, while the zongzi next door requires a piece.
Therefore, even though there are many less working days to go to work and go to school instead of eating breakfast at home, and buy a rice ball on the way, Shi Zhen still sold out all the rice at eight o'clock.
He went home and slept for two hours. When he slept, Shi Xinghuo had already made the skewers for him. When he woke up to eat, he went straight to the town to sell fried skewers.
After all, during the festival, the town is very lively during the day.
At this time, people will not stop going because the town is lively one day, but the more lively, the more they want to go to the town to watch the lively... As a result, there will be more people.
It would be a shame not to sell fried skewers these days!
Shi Zhen sold a lot of fried skewers this day. If it weren't for the best-selling ham and sausages, there was no need for any preparation. The customer could completely unpack them on the spot and put them in the frying pan. things to sell.
So, at four o'clock in the afternoon, when Guan Baiyu came to look for him, Shi Zhen said: "Xiaoyu, I won't go home for dinner tonight, you go and get me some food, by the way, I also let Shi Xinghuo cook more fried skewers. Bring it to me, there should be many more guests tonight."
In fact, it is not impossible to buy some to eat, but he thinks it is not worthwhile, and anyway, Guan Baiyu will send him fried skewers, and by the way, send some rice to deal with it.
"Yeah!" Guan Baiyu responded and ran home immediately.
He was especially happy to help Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen explained to Shi Xinghuo before, and asked Shi Xinghuo to make more strings. When Guan Baiyu returned home, he saw that Shi Xinghuo had already made a lot of strings.
He asked Shi Xinghuo to make some more skewers, and he cooked rice with an electric rice cooker, and fried two more dishes.
Seeing this, Shi Xinghuo said, "I'll go too." He wanted to go to the town to play.
When Shi Xinghuo was going to town, Guan Baiyu naturally wouldn't stop him, so he and Shi Xinghuo went to deliver things to Shi Zhen.
When they got to town, the rice cakes, dried tofu, potato chips, chicken hearts, etc. were all sold out, and Shi Zhen was frying shrimp chips for people.
Shrimp slices are sliced, a bit like colored plastic slices, but they can be fluffy when fried in oil.
Shi Zhen finished frying, put it aside to dry, and when the temperature is low, sprinkle some salt and pepper and bag it for others.
Seeing Guan Baiyu and the others bringing things over, Shi Zhen took it with a smile and continued to work. He only said, "The town is very lively today, let's go shopping."
Guan Baiyu didn't answer, he stood beside Shi Zhen and started to help Shi Zhen skillfully.
Shi Xinghuo went elsewhere to watch the fun... He really couldn't help here.
Shi Zhen was busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and learned that someone would come to town to sell lottery tickets tomorrow.
Now some lottery tickets are drawn on the spot.
The organizer will pull all the prizes and so on, and all kinds of lottery tickets that have been scratched to receive the prizes are neatly placed.
Of course, the most important is "thank you for your patronage".
Sometimes the poorer people are, the more willing they are to spend money to buy such things, just like decades later, most people who insist on buying lottery tickets for a long time do not do well.
And now... Shi Zhen can be sure that the town will be very lively tomorrow.
The fried skewers he usually sells are mostly 50 cents and expensive.
I don't have much to prepare because it's not easy to sell, but tomorrow... Shi Zhen plans to prepare more fried chicken wings and drumsticks to sell.
No. 1 was too busy that day, and Shi Zhen didn't have time to settle the accounts at night, but he felt that he had earned at least one hundred yuan.
Although it is very tiring, it is really a happy thing to be able to earn so much.
I should be able to make a lot of money in the past few days, so when Guan Baiyu proposed to help Shi Zhen the next day, Shi Zhen did not refuse, and asked Guan Baiyu to follow him to town early in the morning.
When he was selling rice balls, Guan Baiyu bought some chicken wings and drumsticks according to his request, and when he finished selling the rice balls, he did not go home to rest, so he set up a stall next to the square where lottery tickets were sold. Fried skewers.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the lottery tickets went on sale, and various prizes were displayed.
The first prize this time is a 17-inch black and white TV, the second prize is a bicycle, there are several in total, and the third prize is an electric fan, and the number is even more.
There are a few other prizes, the most being... Mimi shrimp sticks.
Shi Zhen glanced at it and didn't look at it. In his opinion, it is better to sell fried skewers to make money than to hope for the award.
There are a lot of people coming to town today, and there are also a lot of people who come to buy fried skewers. He is surrounded by people!
Fortunately, Bai Yu was there to help, otherwise he would not be busy.
Today, Shi Xinghuo couldn't go anywhere to watch the fun. He skewered the skewers directly behind Shi Zhen's stall today, and immediately put it on Shi Zhen's skewer stall.
Seeing this situation, Shi Zhen felt sorry, and said to Shi Xinghuo, "Brother, I've been busy these days. I'll give you ten yuan a day for your wages."
Shi Xinghuo said, "Oh... Ah Zhen, can I buy fried skewers for five yuan with my salary?"
Since Shi Zhen started this fried skewer stall, he has been greedy every day, but it is a pity that Shi Zhen wants to sell it for money, so he doesn't eat it very much.
Shi Zhen: "…"
Shi Zhen is not very interested in things like fried skewers, but if Shi Xinghuo likes it... Shi Zhen asks him to choose a few things he wants to eat, with a five-dollar limit.
Shi Xinghuo picked out a two-piece fried chicken leg, and used other fried skewers to make up three dollars.
It was noon now, and there were a little less people. Shi Zhen threw the fried skewers into the pot and asked Guan Baiyu, "Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat?"
"I don't need it." Guan Baiyu refused, these can be sold for money!
"Choose a bunch, it's not much money." Shi Zhen said.
"Then... a fried sausage." Guan Baiyu picked out a small sausage of fifty cents a piece.
Shi Zhen also threw it into the pot.
These things were fried quickly, Shi Zhen spread the sauce, sprinkled the powder, and handed it to Guan Baiyu and Shi Xinghuo after processing.
Shi Xinghuo feasted on it, but Guan Baiyu handed it to Shi Zhen as usual.
Shi Zhen bit about one-fifth of it and said that he didn't like it, but Guan Baiyu only tasted it bit by bit, and he cherished it very much.
For the first time, Shi Zhen knew that a fried sausage could be eaten for half an hour.
During the period, someone came to buy fried skewers, and Guan Baiyu took his fried sausages in his mouth to collect money, which was very cute.
"Isn't this Xiao Yu? Your stall is doing well!" A voice sounded, Shi Zhen looked down and saw Guan Pingguo.
Ahem, Guan Pingguo is really short.
The little grandma, the eldest son who has never been married, is short and has a small head. He looks a bit sharp-mouthed. He holds several lottery tickets in his hand and stands next to Shi Zhen's booth to scratch the prize.
If you shave it, your face will look a little ugly.
This lottery ticket costs two yuan a piece. Shi Zhen thought about letting Guan Baiyu buy one to play with, but he gave up after thinking that there would be many places to spend money in the future.
Guan Pingguo has no income at all, so he bought a dozen or so in one go... How much do you want to make a fortune
However, for this kind of thing, only a few people can win the lottery, and most of them are used as a denominator.
Sure enough, Guan Pingguo didn't scrape out anything, so he could only pick up a few packs of Mimi shrimp sticks, which were consolation prizes.
Shi Zhen set up a stall here today, and he has met a dozen people from the village. Some of them left after saying hello, and some bought something, but no one stayed.
Let's chat with him, after all, he looks very busy.
Guan Pingguo, however, after he didn't win the lottery, kept talking nonstop, saying that according to his speculation, there might be a first prize in the box, and that he brought too little money to buy it...
"Shi Zhen, you lend me some money, I'll buy it, and when I win the first prize and sell the prize, I'll pay you back double." Guan Pingguo said.
Shi Zhen: "..." I won double the payout, but what if I didn't win
Shi Zhen didn't speak, and Guan Pingguo said again: "Shi Zhen, I'm really sure, at least I can win the second prize!"
"Uncle, my family owes money, and the money I earn will be used to repay the debt, so I can't lend you the money." Shi Zhen made up a random reason.
It is impossible to borrow money anyway.
Does he have money to give Guan Baiyu flowers? Why loan to Guan Pingguo
"It's not like I won't pay you back!" Guan Pingguo was a little annoyed.
Shi Zhen smiled and said nothing.
Guan Pingguo can bend and stretch, and at this time, he said: "If you don't borrow it, you can't borrow it... You fry a sausage for me." He pointed to the big sausage that Shi Zhen sold for one yuan.
Shi Zhen said, "Uncle, this sausage is one yuan."
"Don't you give money after eating? How can you give money before you eat?" Guan Pingguo said.
Shi Zhen was too lazy to maintain the surface peace, and looked at him with a cold face: "Uncle, are you rich? The things I have here will only be fired after I have given the money!"
Of course Guan Pingguo has no money.
He didn't dare to steal Shi Zhen's things and run away like his mother.
Guan Pingguo said angrily: "You are a foreigner, what a shame! Guan Baiyu, are you just watching him bully your uncle like that?"
Guan Baiyu ignored him.
Guan Pingguo was even more angry: "Guan Baiyu, you have a backer and are arrogant? Do you think he is really good to you? He just eats you, lives you for nothing, and treats you as a free worker! You do nothing. Know!"
Guan Baiyu generally does not argue with these elders. He is not a serious Guan family member, and he always feels that he is bowing his head.
But now he is very angry: "Don't talk nonsense, my brother treats me well!" He knows best how his brother treats him!
Guan Pingguo's face was full of contempt: "He treats you well? I bah, it's not that you are not allowed to study..."
"Have you finished yet? Believe it or not, I'll throw oil on you?" Shi Zhen said: "Guan Pingguo, if you want money and have the ability to go to your son, don't go to me! Also, you still want to win the lottery with your virtue? Go home Go to sleep, there is everything in your dreams."
Guan Pingguo, who hated others to mention that he didn't have a son the most, glanced at the frying pan, blushed and ran away.
When Guan Baiyu saw it, he looked at Shi Zhen with admiration, what his brother said was really good, and hit Guan Guoping at the sore spot!
Or his brother is the most powerful, articulate, no one is afraid.
