Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"That's right. Then, Dad, do you know how big that place is?"

“How big is it? To be honest, it’s only about four or five square meters!

Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?

Or do you have any ideas?"

"Dad, I was thinking, if the place is interesting enough, we can make it and sell it right away, or make it and sell it at the same time, will it be more popular?

And in this way, not only can we attract more customers, but we can also make more money.

It is much more convenient than doing it at home, but it is too much for one person to handle it this way."

“Yes, if that’s the case, then making pancakes and other food wouldn’t be very suitable, after all, there are too many types and they are complicated.

Another thing is that some people can’t wait, which is not good. ”

"It's really not appropriate, mother, do you have any specific suggestions?"

“My suggestion is simple. Since it’s not appropriate to make so many kinds of food, let’s just make a single type of food instead!

In other words, how about just selling pies or big buns? "

"It's not a big problem to make pies, but if it's steamed buns, I'm afraid many people would choose to sell steamed buns first, after all, selling steamed buns is easier than pies."

"That's right, it takes more oil to make pies and sell them.

But then again, if we were to make pies, wouldn't we have to have several kinds of fillings? It's impossible to sell just one, right?

Also, since we have a stall, do we have to sell porridge there?

After all, we already have a stall, so it would be a shame not to sell porridge there.

Also, when we go to state-owned restaurants to eat, they provide free pickles. Should we also provide free pickles?"

"Really? These are all problems. Dad, Mom, what do you two think about this?"

“I don’t have any idea, but whether I sell porridge or provide free pickles, I need a charcoal stove and coal.

You know, coal is still in limited supply now, and we have extra coal at home, not to mention that we use it for small business outside. "

"What shall we do then?

You can't just give up, right? "

"Thinking of what?

Isn't it just charcoal?

Since we can’t decide on the use of coal, then we can switch to charcoal, which doesn’t produce smoke. If that doesn’t work, we can just use dry wood. A living person won’t be suffocated to death by urine.”

"It's true, is there anything else?"

“Also, we have to make sure that we have all the supplies for the next day the night before we open the stall. We can’t wait until the goods run out and then try to restock them.

By the way, there will have to be a dedicated person to keep an eye on the stall, see what is missing and go home to replenish it in time.

After all, the stall area is limited and it is impossible to put so many things in.

Otherwise, if something doesn’t sell well, there will be fewer and fewer repeat customers.

But this is only temporary. After a while, we will find the pattern and won’t have to go through so much trouble.”

"It can only be the."

"By the way, Mom and Dad, you only want to do it on Sundays and holidays, what about on weekdays?

Is this stall usually empty? "

“What can I do if it’s not empty?

Our parents both have to go to work, so do we have to rent out the stall?"

“It’s not impossible to rent it out, but I’m afraid we’ll be caught by the higher-ups. If there’s no time limit, we can actually set up the stall every day.

If it goes on like this for a long time, my parents may not be able to bear it physically. "

"Old Third, this is a good idea. Let's not talk about other things. Now I have nothing to do after get off work every day. If I can continue to set up the stall, I can at least kill time, even if I don't know how much money I can make."

"That's true. We don't ask for a certain time every night. We can just work out for two or three hours a day."

"That's right, we don't care how much we sell, at least we have something to do.

Wouldn't it save you from having to listen to noise in the yard or arguing when you get home from get off work every day?

To be honest, if we have that time, we would rather go out and set up stalls to earn money than stay at home."

"Dad, Mom, you two have a great idea, but I just want to know, if you plan to do it at night, do you still have to continue selling pies?

It’s not necessary to prepare the filling and make the dough early in the morning.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Won't it get nasty over time?"

"Yes?

Mom, my second sister is right. This is a big problem. You can’t do that when you’re in the food business.”

"Look at you two, what are you in such a hurry for?

I'm just talking to your father, it's not certain whether he will do it or not, right?

Besides, if we really planned to set up a stall every night, we would definitely not be able to continue making food.

After all, as you two siblings said, we don’t have the time, the energy, or the ability.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to continue cooking, but our family is ordinary people and we live in a rented house. Besides, there are several other families living in the yard.

Even if you want to buy a refrigerator from a department store, to be honest, it's not very realistic.

Since it is not realistic, we have to think of other ways, otherwise it will be a problem for the stall to be empty for a long time. "

"Yes, but what should we do specifically?"

“What’s good?

Mom and Dad, you see the weather is getting hotter, how about going out and selling some popsicles?

This thing is not expensive, and it’s just a small wooden box of popsicles. If you sell it near the train station, it will be sold out in no time.

As for when the weather gets cold, we will think about other things. If that doesn’t work, we can also sell big buns at that time. But it is still several months away from that time, so we will decide what to do then.

Let's talk about the present situation first. What do you think of my proposal? "

"this?"

"Don't mention it, it's not impossible to sell popsicles. It just so happens that my family just bought a bicycle a few days ago. I can pick up the popsicles and put them on the back seat of the bicycle.

When you are not selling them, it would be so convenient to just move the popsicle boxes into the house.

It doesn’t take two people to sell popsicles, and we can still sell them on Sundays.

The most important thing is that this thing doesn’t take up space.”

"Yes, my sister and I can help out on Sundays.

At that time, it doesn't matter which of us, brother or sister, pushes the bicycle to sell popsicles.

Even if you just walk around the streets, it won’t be hard to sell popsicles.”

"Yes, is my method okay?"

"Yes, yes, but what about during the day?

We have everything arranged for the night, but what about the day?

You can't leave the stall empty during the day, right?"

"Second sister, if it's empty, then just leave it empty!

Besides, just because we don’t set up the stall during the day doesn’t mean there’s nothing to sell, right?
