Back to 70s: To build a career, don’t be a grudge but a group favorite

"Xiao Qi, I heard that only a few large factories can produce those handbags. Can our small shop do it?"

Xia Xiuhe was a little worried when she asked this question.

As soon as she arrived in the city, she thought the bag was beautiful and even asked about its price.

But that one time made her never dare to think about it again.

"Mom, no matter how good something is, isn't it made by people? People in big factories are people, aren't we people too? Don't be afraid!"

"But..." Leather is not easy to handle.

"Mom, I know someone at the leather factory. Too much is not enough, but a small amount is still okay."

Hearing Han Qiyue say this, Xia Xiuhe also became interested. Since her daughter knew someone at the leather factory, the raw materials should be available.

"I knew that my Xiaoqi is capable. Xiaoqi, whether our family can become a millionaire this year and whether grandma can wear a big red flower this year depends on you." Grandma Han said to Han Qiyue with a serious smile.

The old lady's eyes were full of hope at this moment, as if she had already seen herself being elected as a millionaire at the end of the year's meeting.

Han Qiyue was amused by the old lady's expression.

The old lady is quite ambitious and wants to become a millionaire.

In this era when many people still feel that talking about money is unworthy of their noble status, grandma's ideas are really quite avant-garde.

But this is really good.

If you can really become a millionaire, it is much better than dying in poverty.

"Grandma, don't worry. I guarantee that you can become a millionaire." Han Qiyue immediately expressed her opinion, saying that she would definitely help the old lady fulfill her wish.

After the matters regarding the tailor shop were settled, Han Qiyue said to Yang Chunzhi, "Aunt, I have some ideas about the restaurant. I think we should not only wait for customers to come to the restaurant, but also go out."

When Yang Chunzhi heard Han Qiyue talk about her plans for the restaurant, she became even more interested.

"I thought we could prepare another small cart, and when it's time for dinner, we could push a few iron basins of vegetables to the surrounding construction sites and markets. As long as the price is affordable, there should be many people willing to eat."

At this time in her previous life, Han Qiyue was imprisoned in the village and rarely knew what was happening in the outside world.

But she had also heard Du Cha talk to his daughters about how a family had become rich with a small cart.

If I'm not mistaken, mobile stalls are the most profitable these days.

People who are used to being poor are not very accustomed to eating out. The fast food lunch boxes on carts give people a cheap feeling and are more likely to attract customers.

It is a good choice to use it to accumulate funds in the early stage.

In particular, aunts and grandmothers are good at home-cooked dishes, which are more suitable for mobile stalls.

As for those Sichuan dishes I mentioned, just treat them as the store’s signature dishes. After all, you can’t push a cart and sell boxed lunches all your life.

"I like it. Let's give it a try." Yang Chunzhi was a man who dared to think and act, but he had no idea at the moment.

Now that Han Qiyue has put forward the idea, she will definitely be able to do it.

A few people were imagining the future and accidentally chatting until late at night.

The next day, it was Han Lao Da and Han Lao Er who came knocking on the door, and several people woke up in a hurry.

Boss Han asked with a smile: "I can tell from a guess that you must have stayed up too late chatting with July last night."

"Boss, you two brothers, wait and see if we have enough wood to make a cart and a cabinet."

Han Laoda asked in surprise: "Mom, why do you suddenly want to make this? The second child and I can make a cabinet, but we really can't make a trolley."

When Grandma Han heard her son say no, she wanted to say that the two of them were losers.

Han Qiyue said, "Grandma, this car is very particular and needs to be made by a blacksmith. I will draw a picture later and ask my eldest father to find a blacksmith shop to make it."

"And the cabinets need more glass so that customers can see the goods inside."

When Grandma Han heard so many things, she quickly said, "Thank goodness Xiao Qi reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it if I didn't make it."

Han Qiyue and her family had breakfast before going to the guesthouse.

By the time we arrived at the guesthouse, the other people had already gone out to have breakfast.

"In July, Jiefang took us to eat noodles. The noodles here are cheap and delicious. I ate a big bowl and added an egg."

When Hu Yuanyuan saw Han Qiyue, she started praising her before Han Qiyue even opened her mouth.

Han Qiyue smiled and asked, "Did you have beef noodles this morning?"

"Did you guess it?" Hu Yuanyuan said.

"We usually have beef noodles in the morning. At noon, we have cold noodles at home, and then we have臊子面 in the evening. These days, I promise that you can eat noodles in different ways." Han Qiyue said with a smile.

Wu Jiefang said hurriedly: "July, we can't eat at your house all the time. Every household is not well-off."

Wu Jiefang also knew the situation of the Han family. They were indeed not a very wealthy family. There were seven or eight of them and they had been here for a long time. If they lived and ate at the Han family all the time, what kind of people would they be?

"It's okay. We'll only stay in the provincial capital for three or four days, and then we'll go back to the city. The internship unit I found for them is a steel plant. Oh, it's not called a steel plant now, it's called a metallurgical plant."

When they heard that it would only take three or four days, they became less polite.

But the girls all had their own plans. They couldn't just eat and drink for free. When they went out later, they would buy some meat and vegetables.

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed. After being moved to two places, all the trinkets brought by Han Qiyue and his group had been sold. Only Han Qiyue openly left some for his family.

Several people began to count the profits this time.

"Jiefang, this is your half. Ours were sold together and it's hard to tell them apart." Hu Yuanyuan handed a thick stack of Great Unity to the fifth neighborhood.

Wu Jiefang quickly refused.

"I bought less, so you don't have to give me so much. Just give me 30% will be enough."

"That won't do. Although we have established a relationship, I am not someone who takes advantage of others. We still need to figure out what to do."

Hu Yuanyuan rejected Wu Jiefang with righteous words.

Wu Jiefang said: "If you give me half, you will suffer a loss. Otherwise, how about giving me 40%? Do you think it's okay?"

Hu Yuanyuan felt that this number was about the same.

"Okay then, our total income this time is 790 yuan, which is 800 yuan. I'll give you 320 yuan." Hu Yuanyuan took out a few banknotes and gave the rest to Wu Jiefang.

Wu Jiefang was still a little excited when he saw so much money.

It’s not that I’ve never seen so much money, but this is money I earned myself, so it has a different meaning.

"Then I'll take it. When I get back, I'll show the old man that my time out here has not been wasted. Not only did I get a wife, but I also made money."

Wu Jiefang laughed like a fool and Hu Yuanyuan couldn't bear to look at him.

When Han Qiyue heard Wu Jiefang talking about going back, she asked, "Jiefang, when are you going back?"

"The train is tomorrow afternoon. This trip will use up all my vacation time this year. If I don't go back, I'll be punished."

"Then I'll have to prepare some food and drinks for you later."

"Just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some food. It's July. No need to prepare too much. I'm a grown man."

"You should at least call me grandma, so how can I not prepare it for you? Besides, our small restaurant will open tomorrow, so you can have lunch and go back."

They had heard the news that Han's restaurant was going to open, but they didn't know the exact date.

However, a few people thought that since they were all here, it didn't matter when they opened.

I didn't expect that the time would come to watch it.

"Then let's all go and help tomorrow?" Ma Anmei said immediately.

Han Qiyue looked around and said with a smile: "If everyone goes to help, there will be more waiters than customers. However, I think you can pretend to be customers to attract customers."

Hu Yuanyuan was a lively person to begin with, and after hearing what Han Qiyue said, she immediately said that it would be nice to be a guest.

In the past two days, they have become familiar with the waiters in the guesthouse, and the waiters don't say much even if they stay in the room for a while longer.

But as there were still a lot of things to do at home, Han Qiyue said a few simple words and went home.

That evening, everyone was helping out in the restaurant.

When they were almost home, Han Qiyue remembered that there was an old refrigerator in the space that the farmer used before. It was produced in this era and could be taken out.

She simply found a tricycle and sent the old refrigerator back directly.

"Auntie, uncle, please come out and help!" Han Qiyue called out loudly as they reached the door.

When the people in the room heard Han Qiyue calling for help, they came out immediately and saw Han Qiyue standing next to a tricycle with what seemed to be a refrigerator on it.

It should be a refrigerator. They had heard people say that a refrigerator is like this.

"What is this?" Although Grandma Han guessed that it was a refrigerator, she still couldn't help but ask.

"This is a refrigerator, grandma. I just came out of the guest house tonight and someone said that their family had bought a new refrigerator and wanted to sell the old one, so I quickly bought it."

Grandma Han saw that the refrigerator looked like it had been used, so she didn't doubt it and just asked, "Is it okay?"

"No, grandma, I'm fine."

The two brothers Han Lao Da and Han Lao Er helped to move the refrigerator in.

Han Qiuyue gave the tricycle driver three cents, thanked him, and turned to go in.

"July, this is not cheap, right?" Yang Chunzhi asked.

"It's not expensive, Auntie. It's summer now and the food can't be kept for long. If the food goes bad and the customers are upset, it will not be worth it."

When Han Qiyue said this, everyone else in the family thought it made sense.

That’s right. Although a refrigerator is expensive, it can be used for a long time, so when you think about it, it’s not a big deal.

"If we want to develop our restaurant, we must make a lot of initial investment. This refrigerator is still a little small. I have to find a way to get two bigger ones in the future."

When he heard that Han Qiyue was planning to get two refrigerators, Han Laoda said hurriedly, "Qiyue, just enough is enough. You don't need so many. I heard that this thing consumes a lot of electricity."

"It's okay, Daddy. You'll know when we open tomorrow that it doesn't consume much electricity."

If you open a restaurant and run it well, you should be able to make a lot of money and you won't be unable to even afford a refrigerator.

A few people took inventory of the ingredients to be used tomorrow, and all the ingredients that were originally placed in cold water were taken out and placed in the refrigerator.

On the first day of opening, we didn’t prepare a lot of ingredients, just about a dozen or twenty items.

"We'll open at 10:30 tomorrow morning. Big opening sale, 30% off on everything..."

Boss Han seemed a little nervous at the moment, and kept muttering to himself, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to remember.

"Dad, don't worry. There will be a 30% discount tomorrow, an 20% discount the day after tomorrow, and a 10% discount the day after tomorrow. There will also be a big sale during the opening three days. If people at the same table spend more than five dollars, they will get a small cold dish for free." Han Qiyue couldn't help laughing and repeated it.

Tomorrow Yang Chunzhi and Grandma Han will cook inside, and the person who will greet them outside will be Boss Han.

Boss Han is a rough man after all. He has never done such a thing before and is afraid that he will say something wrong tomorrow.

"I haven't done this before, so I'm a little worried!"

"I'll be there tomorrow too, don't worry, big dad. Just pay attention to how I entertain the guests tomorrow."

After tomorrow, she will go to the city and can't stay here forever.

However, my family members are not stupid, and I believe they can handle it properly.

Boss Han nodded heavily: "I will definitely study hard tomorrow, don't worry, July, I don't believe I can't even do such a small thing!"

The family made sure that everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and then went back to rest.

Although we have opened a shop, everyone is still very nervous.

The shop will open tomorrow, and only my family will be there, no outsiders are invited, so there is no need to prepare to entertain guests who come to congratulate me.

But Grandma Han still remembered that Han Qiyue brought several classmates with him this time.

These kids have to be entertained.

"Grandma, no need. They will come over tomorrow and pretend to be guests ordering food."

"You let them be your babysitters?"

Grandma Han asked in surprise.

Several brothers of the Han family had the same idea as Han Qiyue.

The three brothers Han Xiangyang, Han Siyang and Han Luyang all go to school in the provincial capital, and only Han Wuyang is not local. Therefore, the three brothers have also invited a few good friends from the school to have dinner tomorrow.

The next morning, the Han family got up early. Xia Xiuhe originally planned to close the tailor shop first, but Han Qiyue said that the shop had only been open for a short time and could not be closed easily, so Xia Xiuhe gave up.

In the end, everyone else in the family went to help out in the restaurant, leaving only Xia Xiuhe in the tailor shop.

However, Xia Xiuhe still said that if she was too busy, she would come over to help.

She and her sister-in-law have gotten along very well over the years and neither of them has ever had a quarrel, so Xia Xiuhe naturally wanted to go over and help.

At half past ten, firecrackers sounded and people around and passers-by gathered to watch a new shop opening.

Han Qiyue and Han Lao Da greeted the guests with a smile and gave each person watching on the street a candy.

In the past two years, more and more people have opened shops. Many shops have already opened on this street, but people don’t think there is anything wrong with it.

However, it is rare to give out candies right after a business opens. Some people who know the situation say that this business must be in good condition as it has opened a second shop in such a short time.
