Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"Yes?

Mom, even though Beijing is better than that small county town, they may not be willing to leave their hometown after all."

"That may not be the case. Your uncle Huang and his wife dare not say so, but the rest of their family may not be sure, especially those who are still unemployed. How can they ever stop earning a few work points in the fields?

Also, seeing their own children grow up, shouldn’t they make plans for them in advance? "

“Yes, but I always feel that it is not easy to convince them.

And since we want to sell buns, how should we cooperate with them?

Should I use the money in the early stage to help rent a shop, or help purchase things?

They may not be able to take out this investment money right away, but they may have it in the long run, right? "

"Old Two is right. This is indeed a problem. Let's think about it again."

"Mom, I think we might as well do this!"

"How to do it?"

"It's nothing, actually. We just need to pool our money and ask around in Beijing to see if there are any shops for sale. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, we can buy them first, then fix them up and rent them out later.

This way, we don't have to worry about becoming estranged from Uncle Huang's family because of money issues.

After all, when working together, it’s easy to have disagreements if you’re not careful, and over time, the relationship will become sour.”

"Yes, the method you mentioned is also feasible. What about the matter of selling buns?"

“Selling steamed buns is easy. Just write to them and tell them that many private individuals are selling steamed buns in Beijing and making a lot of money.

With my uncle Huang's intelligence, he will definitely understand what we mean. Besides, they don't have to worry about food problems when selling buns in the county town.

If we move to Beijing and really start selling buns, just the food issue will be a huge problem.

After all, let’s not talk about others, we just use the food we use to sell pancakes!

Don’t we know the truth here?”

"That's right, the third brother is the most thoughtful. Let's do as you say. However, if we do this, we may have to postpone our plan to move out of here.

That means we will have to live in this yard with everyone else for a long time!"

"Just postpone it!"

"That's right. Anyway, the other families in the compound all know that we sell pancakes on Sundays. Didn't you see that the family across the street also carried a basket of pancakes to the train station early in the morning this Sunday?

Don’t tell me that you were seeing off any relatives. Even if you were seeing them off, you wouldn’t give them so much food.

What’s more, I saw them selling pancakes near the train station, but I don’t know how their business is going.”

"Let's not talk about whether it's good or not. It's not easy for them to save so much flour with so many people in their family. I don't think they can keep the pancake business going for long unless they can get a regular supply of food."

"That's right. Fortunately, the market is not strictly regulated now. Otherwise, not only will our family be prone to accidents, but other people will also be worried."

"That's true, but now that the people in the yard know that we sell pancakes at the train station, I think it won't be long before they have some different ideas."

"No matter what their ideas are, as long as we don't follow their wishes, nothing will happen.

Also, selling pancakes is one thing, but if someone covets our pancakes and asks for one, we can't give it to them for free.

It’s not that we are reluctant to give away that piece of pancake, but there are too many children in the yard, and it’s not a good idea to just give it away.

Not to mention that we don’t know how long we will live here. Once or twice is no big deal, but if it happens too many times, won’t our family lose a lot of money? "

"Second sister, don't worry about this. My sister and I are not at home most of the time. We only come back on Saturday afternoons after school. In other words, our mother doesn't know how to make pancakes on weekdays.

Even if we made pancakes, it was on Sundays, and we had to get up before dawn. By the time other people in the yard got up, we would have already been at the train station with our baskets.

If they want to eat our pancakes, they can either tell us in advance or buy them at the train station.

It is simply impossible to eat our pancakes on a regular basis.

On the other hand, it’s not necessarily the case for the house opposite ours.

Not to mention the children of the other two families in the yard, don’t their own children eat that?

Don't forget, their children are so young. Even if they want to make money by selling pancakes, they have to take care of the children.

It’s impossible that your own children won’t eat any of it, right?

That is simply unrealistic and could easily lead to other problems in the end.”

"That's true. So, our family only sells pancakes on Sundays and holidays every month. It may seem like we make little money, but it does have some benefits."

"That's right, the profit of this pancake doesn't look optimistic at the moment?"

"That's for other people. We don't have that kind of worry at all."

"Yeah, we sell so many types, there's always going to be one you like."

"That's right. Fortunately, we don't make a lot of each of them, and they are well-known. Otherwise, they might not be so easy to sell."

“In fact, when it comes down to it, making food is not difficult at all. You just have to not be unwilling to earn the profit because you think it is too small.

In fact, it is often counterproductive because the profit is small, but the cost is also low, so the profit is relatively not small.

Let’s talk about other things, just take our family as an example, we only sell on Sundays in the past few months, and the money we earn is more than a worker’s monthly salary.”

"That's right, otherwise the family across the street will be jealous.

They are jealous and are starting to follow suit!"

"Okay, stop talking about the family across the street. They may be jealous, but they haven't done anything out of line. There's no need for you to keep talking about them."

"Aren't I just giving our family a reminder?

After all, we all live in the same yard, so if anyone does something wrong, it will be easier than anyone else!"

"It's easy, but why don't you see that our kitchen is not outside. Even if she has that idea, we have to give them a chance. Without this chance, it's useless even if she has the idea."

"Third brother, your second sister is right, don't take things in the courtyard too seriously.

Even though the other family didn't sell much, they still reaped the benefits. I dare say that even if they had any ideas in the past, they don't have the time now.

I'm afraid all my time is spent on how to make money.

As for the other two households in the courtyard, not to mention that the family living in the back house is busy selling candied haws, the family living in the main house must also be thinking about how to make extra money?

After all, there are so many children in the family, how can they be supported by just one person's salary?
