Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

On the appointed day, Shen Chang asked someone to clear the stall. Liu Yumei and her partner went there early in the morning and put the boiled sugar on the stall.

In two days, they bought tools and ingredients everywhere, but they only had time to make peanut candy and maltose, only 30 kilograms of each.

Xiushui Street opens early, so the two of them came here early in the morning. Ji Qinglan also went over to help after having breakfast.

The high prices here are incomparable to those in my hometown. Similarly, the sales prices are also very different from before.

At the end of the day, Liu Yumei counted her money and found that she had bought more than 130 yuan. After deducting the cost, she actually made nearly 80 yuan, which was ten times the profit in the county town.

Thinking that she could make such a profit by making only two kinds of candy today, if she added more varieties, she could earn three thousand a month.

Thinking of the profit, Liu Yumei jumped up excitedly and discussed with Ji Qinglan that she would add two more varieties tomorrow.

Ji Qinglan said nothing, as long as you are happy.

"It's lively here. When you have some free time, go walk around and see what other stores are selling. Knowing yourself and your enemy will help you win every battle."

Liu Yumei was thinking about whether to make rice candy or sesame sticks. In fact, she also knew how to make candied haws. That was the simplest. She just needed to wash and cook the selected hawthorns, then string them with bamboo sticks and coat them with syrup. Children loved it the most.

She was completely immersed in her own thoughts and ignored Ji Qinglan's reminder for a moment.

Ji Qinglan shook his head and said nothing more.

After packing up, Liu Meiyu and Zhang Jianguo went to purchase some more supplies. They worked up all night to make four kinds of candy, a total of more than 100 kilograms. They were full of confidence and were busy every day, going out early and returning late.

Ji Qinglan only helped to set up the stall in the first three days. Once they were completely settled, she stopped going and started to busy herself with her own things.

Xiao Yi was on a business trip in Yangcheng for a week and also returned by plane.

The two would chat on the phone for a while at night. Ji Qinglan asked, "What time is your flight tomorrow? I'll pick you up at the airport."

"I'll be in Beijing at 3pm tomorrow. You don't need to come pick me up. The company has already arranged a car to pick me up."

Thinking that he would report on his work and preside over meetings at the unit when he returned, Ji Qinglan gave up.

"While you are back, how about we invite Sister Yumei and the others to come over for dinner?"

"I haven't seen them for many years. Just arrange it for you."

"Then I'll arrange it. You won't be able to make it tomorrow, so let's do it the night after tomorrow! Call all the children back. Also, I want to install a telephone at home."

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up. He had wanted to install a phone for a long time, but Ji Qinglan had never nodded. This time, his wife finally understood.

It will be convenient to call my wife in the future.

He said, "I'll call the telephone company tomorrow to apply."

Ji Qinglan said quickly: "Why do I need you? I'll go to the telephone bureau and fill in the application form."

She knew that many people were applying for telephones and many were waiting. She had only decided to install a telephone in the past few days. Every time she made a phone call in the store, there were always people coming and going, and her ears were always perked up to listen to some gossip.

She didn't even dare to answer Xiao Yi's call, fearing that Xiao Yi would say something embarrassing on the other end of the line.

Although Xiao Yi appears to be very serious in front of outsiders, he would always say things that are inconsistent with his personality in front of her, leaving her speechless.

"Don't feel burdened. Installing a telephone at home will also facilitate my work. My boss will support it."

The call was made in the evening. Ji Qinglan went to the telephone bureau early the next morning to fill out the information, and the person who installed the phone came in the afternoon.

It goes without saying that Xiao Yi’s contribution was well known.

In less than an hour, a red telephone was installed in the front yard living room of Ji Qinglan's house.

This is the speed of light in China.

For four days in a row, Liu Yumei and Zhang Jianguo did it all by themselves. Especially every night they had to make nearly 200 kilograms of sugar, neither of them could straighten their backs.

However, both of them were happy.

As long as there is gain, it is worth it no matter how much you earn.

After dinner, the happiest time for the two was counting money.

Liu Yumei bought a special notebook to keep accounts, and she and Zhang Jianguo counted today's income.

"How much did you make? Two hundred and eighty-three, less than yesterday. I still have peanut candies and candied haws. I don't need to make more today. I feel like business hasn't been good these past two days."

"But it's true. We don't buy candy every day. Besides, there are eight candy shops in the whole Xiushui Street, and three of them are storefronts. They have large spaces and a wide variety of products, including melon seeds and peanuts. We can't compete with them." Liu Yumei concluded. After coming here for a few days, she has visited Xiushui Street thoroughly and has a preliminary understanding of the market here. He is no longer the newbie he was when he first arrived.

Especially when you see people coming in and out of other people's homes, it would be a lie to say you don't feel envious.

They get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs, but their business is not even a fraction of others'.

Liu Yumei still feels this gap in her heart.

Zhang Jianguo was still immersed in this high income, silently calculating in his mind how much their savings would be in thirty days.

"Jianguo, I see that the candies they sell have nice packaging, a wide variety, and taste good, but I don't know where they get them from. Let's get some, especially some melon seeds and peanuts to go with them."

Qinglan had told her at the beginning that the packaging of candies is very important and buyers should be attracted to them at first sight.

When she saw the colorful candy wrappers in other people’s stores, Liu Yumei realized where her gap was and she had to change.

She can't just earn this little money every day. She also wants to buy a house here, bring her children here and give them a good education.

Liu Yumei was always very excited by the fact that Ji Xincheng could speak English at such a young age.

Zhang Jianguo reacted and said in embarrassment: "Wife, we just got here, how can I know all this? How about I ask Brother Shen?"

Liu Yumei shook her head, "No, Shen Chang helped us because of Xiao Yi's relationship. We can't trouble him anymore. Besides, he's a clothing wholesaler, so he may not know anything about this."

"It's okay to ask. I think Brother Shen is very friendly to us."

Liu Yumei just felt that she was such a fool that she had no eyes to look at him. They had been here for a few days and still hadn't figured it out? Who was Shen Chang? Everyone called him Boss Shen.

If Qinglan hadn't brought them here that day, Shen Chang would have ignored them, let alone given up his profitable stall.

She doesn't have a big face, but she knows her own weight.

Liu Yumei told him about her plans for the next two days.

"I've been thinking about this these past two days. We seem to earn a lot every day, but we both work ourselves to death. We stay up until 2 a.m. every night and get up at 6 a.m. to set up the stall. If we continue like this, sooner or later we'll be done for."

"Wife, it's great that you figured it out. I've wanted to say it for a long time. I haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days. I'm so tired."

Liu Yumei was both angry and amused, and she thought the man didn't know.

"Shall we go wholesale as well?" Zhang Jianguo said. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but was worried that his wife would call him a lazy man. Actually, he could do it himself and had spent money to buy the tools.
