Seeing that they came back so soon, Hua Zhao knew that their business was good today.
"Anyone looking for trouble? How did the other hawkers react?" Hua Zhao was still most concerned about this.
"No, it's all good." Zhang Guilan said worriedly: "Only one hawker came to buy a cup of melon seeds, and then they all gathered and muttered, not knowing what to say. Later, there were several hawkers. Come to me and buy a lot of melon seeds."
"It's okay, they won't do anything, and we haven't robbed them much of the market." Hua Zhao said: "When they come again, you can tell them that the melon seeds that you own will be sold out, and I wish them a prosperous business."
Those hawkers can't be farmers from the countryside who come to the city to make extra money, they can only be unemployed people in the city who do it professionally.
It has been 76 years. Although not all the educated youths have returned to the city, those who have the means have returned. However, there are not so many work arrangements for them, and they can only stay at home.
When the policy is loosened again, there will be more small traders and hawkers in the streets and alleys.
They do it all year round, but they only sell it for a month or two, and there is not much conflict.
With Hua Zhao's instructions, Zhang Guilan felt more relieved and took the children to count the money happily.
Today, she carried 20 catties of melon seeds on her back, 5 catties for each of the 3 children, which is 15 catties, but she used up some of them for trial eating. After all, no one has ever bought them, so she has to try them before buying them.
In the end, I counted down 165 yuan in total, plus 75 during the day, I made 240 yuan a day today.
Ye Shu's eyes were hot when she saw Ye Shu: "Why is money so easy to earn?" She never knew.
This is not the same as Hua Zhao digging ginseng to make a lot of money. That one can be met by chance, and there are not many people in China who rely on ginseng to make a fortune like her.
But selling melon seeds is different. Anyone can sell it, even children.
Although it is said that Hua Zhao's melon seeds are good and expensive, but just look at other people who sell them for 25 cents. I heard that their business is also good. They sell more than Zhang Guilan. A month is more than 3000!
In the past, she could never have thought of a hawker who could make money like that.
Ye Shu was still amazed, but Zhang Guilan had put the money in Hua Zhao's place and led the children home to sleep.
There were only a few single-family homes in the hutong of her house. She was relieved to leave it here with Hua Zhao.
The people living in this alley are different, and the people around also know who lives here. In case a thief really comes, you will be afraid when you enter the yard without knowing the truth.
With such a big yard, what kind of family should live there? Ordinary thieves can not afford to offend.
Hua Zhao put the money in a special wooden box and said, "Yeah, the money is really good now."
This is a golden age, and the beginnings of it are already beginning to emerge.
After a few decades, it is a dream that a mobile street vendor, selling a melon seed, wants to earn someone else's salary for seven or eight years in a month.
But now, as long as you dare to do it, money is everywhere, just pick it up.
But there are too few people who dare. First, they are afraid of being caught, and second, they are afraid of being embarrassed.
Even if some people know how to make money, they won't give up their jobs that barely make ends meet and go out to set up stalls. They can't afford to lose that person.
Perhaps it is the lowly thought of businessmen handed down for thousands of years, or it may be that the crackdown on the private economy was too harsh before. Everyone thinks that small business hawkers and self-employed are a very shameful profession. People who are desperate will do it.
......
In the next few days, with Ye Shu's all-weather company, Zhang Guilan was relieved. Every day, he ran to the train station and the movie theater, making money.
She also felt the fun of picking up money, and she couldn't stop at all.
The train station market is still so sullen, because there are no old customers, and almost every day customers are brand new.
But one can sell 30 catties during the day. In the evening, she and her children can sell 50 catties in total, and 80 catties in one day.
Hua Zhao saw that, this is not good, the melon seeds at home will be sold out in ten days! She has to start something new.
Zhang Guilan has come to urge her, she thinks that the melon seeds will be sold out, she is really hurt and happy. I am so happy to make money every day, but I will not be able to make any money soon, so sad.
Hua Zhao took Ye Shu to go shopping. She was very curious about the new way to make money that Hua Zhao said. Hua Zhao said that it is a business that is not inferior to melon seeds.
She knows how much the benefits of melon seeds are, how can the melon seeds from her own family have any capital.
The two came to the Overseas Chinese Store.
"What do you want to buy?" Ye Shu asked curiously. What profitable business is related to Overseas Chinese Store? Or can Zhang Guilan do it?
It's not that she looks down on Zhang Guilan, she can see clearly that with Zhang Guilan's current level and courage, she can only sell snacks at the entrance of the train station and the cinema. Ask her to sell TV sets, she hasn't watched TV a few times herself.
Hua Zhao's house has a color TV, but let her put it in the backyard to show her grandfather, she doesn't like watching the current TV.
Hua Zhao went straight to the West Point District.
Overseas Chinese stores are facing overseas Chinese and even foreign guests. Ordinary people have to look at the level if they want to enter the door. They either use US dollars or overseas Chinese coupons to buy things.
The West Point area is full of bread and pastries, and they are very expensive. A small bread starts at 1 yuan, and they are all made with authentic foreign tastes.
"It's not good to go upside down. It's expensive and has a short shelf life. If you can't sell it, you'll lose it." Ye Shu said.
"I don't buy bread, I buy ingredients." Hua Zhao found the ingredients area in the corner, which sold salad dressing, tomato sauce and various baking materials.
She saw her goal, butter.
A box of 2 pounds of butter costs 10 yuan for an extra coupon, which is not expensive. Of course only to her or the overseas Chinese.
"You want to go home and make your own pastries? Can you do it?" Ye Shu asked curiously.
If you make it yourself, the cost can be greatly reduced. How much flour does a loaf of bread cost? 1 point or 2 points?
This is more money than melon seeds!
"Let's go buy an oven!" Ye Shu pulled her upstairs.
"Wait, wait, don't buy an oven first." Hua Zhao said, "You also said that pastries are not easy to sell, easy to break in your hands, and time-consuming and laborious. Do you think kneading bread is easy? It is more laborious than kneading steamed buns. , I have to rub out the fascia, I can't make a few pots a day, and I can't make money."
"Then what are you doing?" Ye Shu was even more curious.
"You'll know when you get home." Hua Zhao betrayed him.
When she got home, she went straight into the kitchen and took out a small bag of corn from the pantry.
She had put a lot of thought into this bag of corn. It was a kind of "popped corn" that she secretly cultivated in a flowerpot in the wing room while Ye Shu was practicing dancing every day.
The particles are small, slender, compact in structure, firm and transparent, and are the best for making popcorn.
Otherwise, ordinary corn can only be popped out with the kind of professional popcorn boiler.
Then she can't make cream popcorn.
Yes, Hua Zhao intends to make cream popcorn, and the seeds she cultivates, coupled with its creamy taste, can completely conquer everyone.
The frying pan was also prepared when the house was repaired, and it was very big. She had nothing to do to bake a pancake or something, and now it was just right for making popcorn.
If the lid is reprocessed and has a stirring function, it will be perfect. Well, this will be done in a while.
Now, come out with a whole pot of creamy popcorn and conquer Ye Shu!
