Chapter 26 - 026 Guazi Business (Second Update, Wan Geng finished writing the first chapter
Seeing that Shen Huai had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, and he was sending the freezer, his attitude was very polite, so Chen Yuan did not continue to embarrass the other party: “I will come back when I have time to let Shen Mingyuan rest, I don’t think his matter can be resolved, but neither is There is absolutely no chance.”
Shen Huai was very happy when he heard it, and he didn’t know how much cold eyes his brother had received. He also felt distressed, and was very excited for a while: “Chen Yuan, thank you.”
“You’re welcome, I also hope he is well.” After Chen Yuan found out that 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 it. You can get Shen Mingyuan’s happiness value, you can also get Shen Huai’s index, and the three children can have a similar situation.
So of course she would not miss any opportunity to refresh energy, and help Shen Mingyuan should 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 to ask him to come back to help.
He agreed decisively, and hurried home as soon as he was on vacation, 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. When passing by their door, 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 making dumplings. He greeted him and asked, “Second sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with? My second brother said there was something at home and asked me to come back.”
Chen Yuan smiled: “There’s nothing wrong, it’s just dumplings being made at home, you’re here just in time, let’s come over and make them together.”
Shen Mingyuan’s body trembled for a moment, nodded, and looked carefully at Jiang Yuexiang and Sister Wu, who were sitting beside him. Seeing that the two of them didn’t show any strange expressions, but looked at him with a kind smile, he relaxed. He sighed and smiled at the two of them.
He washed his hands and found a place to sit down. He carefully picked up a dumpling skin with his unnatural arms, and was surprised to find that the dumpling skin was emerald green, thin in the palm of his hand, but very tough. , the shape is very beautiful, the second sister-in-law is really skillful.
Shen Mingyuan’s posture has always been weirder than normal. His disease is a neurological problem, which cannot be treated at all. Chen Yuan felt that the medical technology in 5035 could be treated, but such a disease no longer existed at that time.
There is no good way to do it now. Chen Yuan remembers a few very effective rehabilitation therapies. When there is a chance, she can give it to Shen Mingyuan to practice more. If the effect is good, at least she can control her body to reduce tremors and look as similar as possible. Like a normal person, this should be what he wanted.
After a while, Chen Yuan got the dumpling wrappers up and said, “You guys go wrap them first. I’ll boil the water. After the children are out of school, we can start dinner.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to us, you can do it.” Jiang Yuexiang waved her hands and said cheerfully. She and Sister Wu are now more and more like to run to Chen Yuan’s house. As a result, a pair of pajamas was stuffed in the past and immediately shut up. They liked it very much, and encouraged them to come to visit Chen Yuan often.
Her eldest son, Gao, chooses to show off her pajamas as soon as she goes to the work unit. When others see it, they envy him. When they envy him, they shudder. Everyone in the work unit thinks that his wife is good at craftsmanship. Moved over to be a neighbor. Because too many people were tempted, the price of the land in the nearby community increased.
Jiang Yuexiang had no choice but to admire Chen Yuan’s ability, she seemed to be able to attract everyone’s attention.
After Chen Yuan went to the kitchen to boil water, Shen Mingyuan felt that the atmosphere in the room became more anxious, mainly because he was not familiar with the two eldest sisters and had nothing to say, and mainly because he was afraid that the eldest sisters would ask him about his situation, or Think about the previous three aunts and six women talking about Zhou Qingmei.
But what he imagined didn’t happen. The two elder sisters just chatted on their own, and didn’t notice him at all. Shen Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly making dumplings.
Jiang Yuexiang and Sister Wu said, “Now I see apples shipped from the south for sale on the street. They seem to be privately shipped. They look very fresh. How much is a pound.”
“I just asked when I came, eighty-five-one pounds.”
“It’s so expensive, robbing money.”
“If it’s not expensive, I’ll buy some for my children to try. The oversized apples look red and bright, and I guess they’ll be delicious. No matter how expensive they are, no matter how expensive they are, some people will rush them. There will be no shortage of rich people at any time. “
“That’s right, I can’t bear to bear such expensive fruit, that thing is just to relieve my cravings, and I can’t eat it.”
“Speaking of that, you said that these foreigners are very clever. If you send apples to us, the price will be tripled. If you remove the gas and labor, it is definitely a profitable business. That truck of apples Making a few hundred dollars is definitely not a problem.”
“Earning so much, isn’t it better than going to work? No wonder people like to be a bad guy these days. This is a lucrative business. If you do it well, you can definitely make a fortune.”
Shen Mingyuan was stunned by hearing this. He didn’t expect these apples to be so expensive. One apple could catch up with his two-day meal cost. A few cents for a steamed bun, and a pound of apples cost 85 cents. How many steamed buns could he buy? And it’s really profitable. A few hundred yuan is an astronomical sum for him. He still owes his second brother money. After this month’s salary is paid to make up for the compensation of 20 yuan, there is nothing left at all. What kind of money, so making money is really hard.
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 still people who lose money. I have a relative who is a good civil servant who doesn’t want to work anymore. His family went bankrupt, and this year he came back to work in a daze, tossing around for a while, he said that he was not a business man, and it was better to have a job.”
“That’s right, doing business is also divided into people, some people lose money, but some people can make money, but remember not to be too ambitious, do it steadfastly, and the final result will be successful or not, it is all courageous, at least you know What kind of path is suitable for you to take, if not, you can go back to the original point and continue your original life, if you always live in a safe zone, then life is impossible, and nothing is accomplished.”
When he heard this sentence, Shen Mingyuan’s heart suddenly jumped, and he felt a little empathy, but he didn’t say anything, and continued to listen carefully.
“It’s normal to have risks in doing business. In fact, there are risks in doing anything in life, but it depends on whether you can take this risk. After all, wealth and wealth are in danger. As long as you work hard, you will definitely get results, and you must seize the opportunity while you are young. It’s too late to regret it when you’re old.”
“You’re right, but I don’t have that brain. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Only courageous and careful can succeed. I am timid, so I dare not do business.”
“You may never know if you don’t try, so that’s what separates successful people from ordinary people.”
What Jiang Yuexiang and Sister Wu said were all heard by Shen Mingyuan. Seeing that he was lost in their own thoughts, the two winked at each other, feeling that these words must have played a role, and nodded secretly that their acting skills were really good.
Today’s remarks are the beginning of changing Shen Mingyuan’s thinking. As long as he has this awareness and is willing to work hard in this area, his efforts will not be in vain.
Chen Yuan didn’t say it herself, but let Jiang Yuexiang and Sister Wu communicate it through a dialogue. That’s because she didn’t want to make this purpose a sermon, which would change the nature and increase the pressure on the other party. If Shen Mingyuan misunderstood. It’s the opposite of what you mean.
Therefore, the whole process is very easy to listen to, and that can achieve the best results. When Chen Yuan came out of the kitchen, she saw the contemplative expression on Shen Mingyuan’s face, and then looked at Jiang Yuexiang and the others, and she knew that things had been successful. I owe the east wind.
Just at this time, Dongfeng also came back. Shen Huai had just arrived home, and he was still carrying two big red apples in his hand. Shen Mingyuan knew at a glance that this was what Jiang Yuexiang and the others said just now.
Shen Huai took out the apple, washed it and put it on the plate, and said to everyone, “Come and eat the apple, this apple tastes very good, I saw a lot of people buying it at the intersection, and they were all rushing for the apple, and they waited in line for a long time to buy it. of.
Shen Mingyuan looked at the apple handed by the second brother. The words of the elder sister just now felt very true. I thought that such an expensive apple was so expensive. Would anyone really buy it? Now it was his second brother who bought it, and he bought a lot more. He still queued up to buy it. Is it really such a good sale?
He picked up the red apple and took a bite in his mouth. The taste was 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 pounds. It tastes so sweet, it tastes crisp, and it tastes so happy.
Chen Yuan next to him suddenly fell silent. Eating an apple would give the child enough happiness, and he was too satisfied.
This apple left a deep impression on Shen Mingyuan. Although the dumplings tasted good, he was absent-minded until the end of the meal, and he left early.
Shen Mingyuan went out of Shen Huai’s house and went to look for the place to buy apples according to what they said. Sure enough, he found a truck with a lot of loose apples on it. At this time, there were still many people buying them, but the number of apples on the truck was running out. , most of the cars have been sold short. The man leading the apple seller shouted at the crowd with a loudspeaker: “Let’s go and see the fresh apples, they are delicious. If you don’t buy them today, you will have to wait until next week.”
After this group of people who bought apples sold these, they went back and pulled a car back. It took about four or five days on the road, but every time the business was good, the apples sold quickly, and the long-distance transportation was worth it.
Not long after, the apples were all looted. Shen Mingyuan saw that the last few pockets of apples were sold out, and only some scarred ones were left, but in general there were not many left, and the other party’s business was really good.
He looked at others doing business to make money, and he was envious, and some felt that he was only physically disabled and his brain was not stupid. Anyone who had a job could get out of the circle and go to sea to do business. If most of them are punished, it can be said that they have nothing, and they are not afraid of it. What is he afraid of? If you don’t make money, it’s a big deal, or it’s still unpromising.
If you never dare to step out of your comfort zone, you will probably achieve nothing in your life, and you will definitely regret it when you get old.
Shen Mingyuan was determined to fight for his own life. Since that day, he has been paying attention to which stalls on the street have good business and which stalls have low cost.
Because he only has 70 yuan, he still borrowed it from his second brother. If the business is too big, he really dare not touch it. Although he has already figured out his determination to do business, he will not hesitate, but like the elder sister said, no If you are cautious, try hard, and it is easy to fail and return.
Of course, Shen Mingyuan has to think carefully about which business is best for him.
Catering and selling snacks are good, but he doesn’t have any craftsmanship, so he can’t make amazing tastes.
Moreover, his movements are a bit too slow. A normal person can make pancakes very quickly. After he is proficient, he can’t be very fast. Most customers will not wait patiently, but will choose other stalls. The frequency of hand tremors leads to a high error rate. The early practice is very wasteful of materials. It is very likely that the materials are used up and he has not practiced well.
Selling vegetables and fruits requires a truck storefront, and the investment cost is higher. He is now poor and can’t afford to toss.
And it’s not enough to sell clothes, it’s easy to smash the goods in your hands.
After thinking about it, there really aren’t many deals that suit him. Shen Mingyuan is a little down, and his ambitions are not as optimistic as before, but he still hasn’t given up going to the market, and he has lunch breaks every day, and he will definitely go after get off work.
He never gave up 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 tea cups.
The melon seeds were fried. Shen Mingyuan bought some and tried them. The taste was very fragrant. It was very addicting, and before he knew it, the cup of melon seeds was quickly eaten up.
He observed secretly from the side, and found that sometimes the old man would quietly put his thumb into the teacup, so that the fingers took up the space in the teacup, and a cup of melon seeds could reduce a lot, and he didn’t know that he was selling melon seeds just now. when he has no thumbs up.
Shen Mingyuan is not ashamed of this kind of cutting corners.
But this business looks good to him. As long as there is a basket for melon seeds, mobile stalls can be set up anytime, anywhere.
This old man’s business is average. Although it is not so popular, he can’t eat a fat man in one bite. The business cost is small, and the profit is also returnable. Even if he loses money, the loss is small.
Shen Mingyuan bought dozens of kilograms of raw melon seeds, found a blacksmith to make an iron pan, and fried melon seeds at home by himself. The work of frying melon seeds seems simple, but it is actually 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 it for a long time, it still didn’t feel very fragrant, and then frying it for a while, but the taste became bitter if he was not careful.
There was no way for Shen Mingyuan to start the second pot. This pot tasted much better, and his skill in frying melon seeds became more and more proficient. He felt that this action was relatively simple and didn’t require skills, as long as he had strength.
When 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 he was more enjoyable to eat than the old man. This was his advantage of melon seeds, and he hoped to attract customers.
Before selling it, Shen Mingyuan sent his fried melon seeds to Shen’s house for the second brother and second sister-in-law and the children to taste together. Because there were too many fried melon seeds, he even gave them to the landlord.
I also wanted to give some melon seeds to the two big sisters who inspired him last time. Thanks to them for what they said, I woke up in the fog, but when I told them these words, they kept laughing without saying anything. , which feels weird.
Chen Yuan didn’t expect Shen Mingyuan to move so quickly. She thought that after being inspired, it would take a while for the other party to make up her mind. All right.
Although selling melon seeds doesn’t make much money, the advantage is that the risks are also small, and the operation is very simple. It is very suitable for novice Xiaobai to do it.
When Chen Yuan received Shen Mingyuan’s fried melon seeds and put them into her mouth, she had already sensed something was wrong. There were a lot of black ashes on the skin of the melon seeds. You might not notice anything if you eat one, but you can eat them with your tongue. Blackened.
The melon seeds inside the skin are crispy, but not particularly fragrant. If the nutty taste can be rated, this melon seed can only be given one star. The taste inside is okay, but the black and gray outside is too thick.
In the process of frying, this situation will inevitably occur, so you should clean the melon seeds before frying and soaking, and put them on the stove to fry slowly on a small fire. The taste of the melon seeds is the best. A kind of snack, you can’t escape the taste when you eat it. Of course, the better it is, the faster it will be sold. If it is not delicious, no one cares.
After get off work in the evening, Shen Mingyuan took his fried melon seeds and went to the night market to sell them. In order to attract customers, he also wrote a sign and put it next to him, a cup of 10 cents.
It didn’t take long for someone to come to care and buy a cup of melon seeds, but it never opened again after that.
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 was not so good, it wasn’t so bad. He wanted to point out. It’s probably more difficult to make money with this.
And if the raw melon seeds in the house are not fried again, I am afraid that mold and insects will grow. He really is not willing to do business for the first time and end up like this.
Shen Mingyuan suddenly feels like a dying fish on the cutting board. He doesn’t want to give up any chance. He just took the salary from the newspaper yesterday. Gross 8 points, looking at such a shabby salary in his hand, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
When she saw Shen Mingyuan again, Chen Yuan had already guessed that his melon seed business was not very good, and she took the initiative to express her intentions.
“Third, 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 said that he was suffering, 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 didn’t agree, but the melon seeds didn’t make money. I worked for a few days and paid all the capital.”
