Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

Gu Chun opened the wooden box, and a sweet smell wafted out.

She took out a piece of chestnut cake and said, "Manager Yu, try this chestnut cake."

Yu Shengli took it and saw that the pastry was dark yellow in color and was indeed a chestnut. It was round in shape and had a lotus pattern on the surface.

That sweet smell just now is this!

He took a bite, and the fragrance of chestnuts spread in his mouth, with the sweetness of sugar. The texture was soft, and it was as if he could eat chestnut particles.

Simply delicious.

He finished one piece in two bites and his eyes lit up.

Gu Chun thought, "That's it!"

There was still a polite smile on his face, and he took out another piece of yam and hazelnut cake for him to try.

After finishing the pastry, Yu Shengli was already eyeing her wooden box.

"Well, this comrade..."

Gu Chun smiled and said, "Forgot to introduce myself, Manager Yu, my name is Gu Chun."

Yu Shengli now had a sincere smile on his face, "Okay, Comrade Gu, do you want to sell these pastries in our grocery store?"

He had already guessed his purpose, so Gu Chun stopped beating around the bush, "Yes, Manager Yu."

Yu Shengli pondered for a moment, "How many pastries like this do you have?"

"Manager Yu, we have made these in the first batch so far, and there are still 50 yuan left.

You can try selling it first and then place an order with us. "

Yu Shengli was a little disappointed when he heard that it was only fifty yuan. There was no need to try this, it would definitely sell well.

The pastries were novel and tasted better than those on the shelves now.

"That's the price..."

Gu Chun was confident, "I've calculated the cost and will give you thirty cents per dollar. What do you think?"

The shortbread they are selling now uses oil, sugar, and flour, and costs an average of 80 cents a piece, and it also requires pastry coupons.

Yu Shengli thought for a while and agreed. After all, he could eat this pastry. It contained sugar and possibly flour, which were not cheap.

"Okay, you keep the fifty pieces of pastries, and I'll ask the finance manager to give you fifteen yuan."

After Gu Chun received the money, Yu Shengli sent her out.

Before leaving, she wrote down the phone number of the Gujia Village Committee for Yu Shengli and told her in advance if she wanted to place an order next time.

After returning home, Gu Chun took out the money.

He Ling's eyes widened when she saw fifteen yuan.

Just a few pastries, sold for fifteen yuan!

"Chun, why is this grocery store willing to spend so much money to buy our pastries? Are they coming to us to get the money back?"

Gu Chun shook his head, "Auntie, no. The price I gave them for one yuan is thirty cents, and fifty yuan is fifteen yuan. No problem."

"Thirty cents, just that piece of cake?"

"Auntie, do you know? The cake I bought for Master Xiao last time cost one yuan and eighty cents!

We give them 30 cents for this, and they can sell it for 60 cents without a ticket, and someone will definitely buy it. "

He Ling shook her head, "It's amazing, you girl, you are so smart. I made you fifteen yuan in one go."

Gu Chun took out five yuan and gave it to her, "Auntie, this is yours. You helped make the pastries."

Another dollar was given to each of the children, "This is the money you pay for helping to pick chestnuts."

I gave the uncle two yuan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle, double the salary."

He Ling was a little surprised when she took the money, "Chun, why are you sharing the money? Just take it yourself. I'm just doing a favor, so why can I still charge you money?"

The children saw that their eldest aunt wouldn't accept it, so they didn't dare to take it.

Gu Chun smiled and said, "Auntie, you deserve this. You all should take it."

After hearing the eldest sister's words, the children all collected the money.

He Ling wanted to say something else, but Gu Chun quickly said, "Auntie, let's discuss what happens next."

"What happens next?"

"According to the current policy, individuals are not allowed to run businesses. I thought, most of these pastries are made by you, and you have the skills.

We discussed with the village party secretary to set up a small workshop in the village, recruit a few villagers, and make cakes together.

Even if you invest in technology, you will get dividends when the time comes. "

He Ling and Gu Daniu were stunned when they heard her grand plan.

This is a big deal!

One can imagine how happy the villagers would be if this workshop was completed!

First of all, it can make money. One piece can be sold for 30 cents, and the cost is less than 10 cents.

Chestnuts, hazelnuts and yams are wild in the mountains, and sugar and glutinous rice flour are not used much.

The cost is really low.

What’s more, they can all have jobs!

Rural people have always wanted to go to the city because they have a job and can receive a salary.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was impossible and that they were just dreaming.

Gu Chun was helpless and sighed in his heart.

"Uncle, let's not say whether it can be done or not. Let's talk to the village party secretary about this first."

Gu Jianguo, the party secretary of Gujiacun, is now the most fond of Gu Daniu's family.

Not to mention Gu Zhenzhu, who went to work in the city, Gu Xia could also bring an old doctor to give them free medical treatment.

He himself has suffered from rheumatism for many years. After a few injections, he is much better now!

Now that he heard that Gu Chun wanted to help the village set up a workshop and sell things to the supply and marketing cooperative, he was even more amazed. This family is full of talents.

He doesn't have confidence even in this matter. What's the use of just verbally planning like this?

Unexpectedly, he received a call from the grocery store the next day.

I heard Gu Chun discussing with Manager Yu on the phone about adding a batch of pastries, two hundred yuan, and I need them tomorrow!

He immediately informed the village cadres to come to the meeting.

By the time Gu Chun came out after making the call, they had already discussed a charter.

I have to say that there are no messy procedures. Everyone works together to do one thing well.

It's not that difficult.

People in this era were relatively simple. When they heard that this could help the villagers make money, the cadres all agreed.

So in the end it was agreed that this workshop was owned by Gujiacun, and the products were all bearing the Gujiacun name.

My eldest aunt, He Ling, is a technical investor and earns 10% of her work points at the end of the month.

The location of the workshop is a warehouse at the foot of the mountain, and there is no way to clear it out in a short time.

So the first batch of goods is still made in Uncle Gu’s yard.

Gu Jianguo found a few families who didn't usually act like monsters and whose lives were difficult.

It was promised that each person would be paid ten cents a day if the goods were sold.

This idea came from Gu Chun, and the first batch of people had to get cash in order to have confidence in this workshop.

There were three employees in the first batch. One was Gu Dazhi’s daughter-in-law named Niu Cuihua.

One is Xiaozhuzi’s friend and Goudan’s mother, named He Danniu.

There is also Aunt Luo who has a relatively difficult family. Her husband is dead, she has a paralyzed mother-in-law at home, and her children are still young.

When they heard that it was only ten cents a day to help, they came very happily.

One cent a day is three yuan a month, which is a lot of money.

The village cadres also chose them because they all love to be clean, unlike some women in the village who are sloppy. Who would dare to eat the food cooked by such people?

Gu Chun saw that the hands of the few people who came were clean, their hair was neatly combed, and their clothes were patched but clean.

I feel very satisfied.

She didn't interfere and let her aunt take charge.

After all, she was just starting this matter, and they had to do it themselves later.

The eldest aunt also works in an orderly manner, assigning tasks to them all, and has learned the assembly line method without a teacher.

I worked until the afternoon and made more than two hundred pastries.

The next day, Gu Chun took Uncle Gu to the grocery store to deliver goods.

Because she planned to let her uncle deliver the goods independently next time, she gave her clear instructions along the way.

"Uncle, this list was written by the village, indicating how many things were handed over.

After you go to the grocery store, you have to ask them to stamp it, so that it is considered a delivery. "

This delivery order was also Gu Chunti's suggestion. In order to avoid wrangling in the future, it is still necessary to prove it in the document.

Uncle Gu nodded, and his niece said that if this was done, he would be dedicated to delivering goods in the workshop, and he would have a job.

When I arrived at the grocery store, I saw many people gathered around the counter, making it noisy like a vegetable market.
