Chapter 41: Hope is in Tomorrow

After all, Zodiac Zhou, who was watching the children from a distance, was across the street.

He didn't hear Huang Han's singing at first, thinking that his son had taken a break and started shouting again. Unexpectedly, within two minutes, his view was blocked by a wall of people.

He was stunned for a long time, and found that more and more people were gathering together. He felt something was wrong, and hurriedly walked towards Huang Han, but he was holding the bicycle and couldn't squeeze in, and because he was afraid of losing the bicycle, he did not dare to leave it.

Extremely anxious.

Fortunately, there were no sounds like "There was a fight! There was a robbery!", which was enough to prove that nothing had happened. He held the bicycle and slowly moved in. I don't know how many people rolled their eyes.

When Huang Han sang again, there were already one or two hundred people gathered here. No one made any noise, only whispers, praising the child for singing so beautifully.

After the song was sung, there were endless cheers. The loud voice not only bought two tea eggs for himself, but also shouted to others to pay for the eggs.

In a short while, seventy or eighty tea eggs were sold out, and there were even a few people who had already paid for them but didn't buy any.

It was estimated that it took a total of forty-five minutes to complete the first transaction. The initial net profit was estimated to be more than two yuan, which was already much higher than Huang Daozhou's daily salary.

Half of the crowd dispersed, and the anxious Huang Daozhou pushed his bicycle in. At this time, he no longer cared about worldly views, hugged Huang Han and said in tears:

"Dad will never let you go out to make money again. Dad will find a way so that you can eat white rice and meat."

The items were sold out. Huang Han was in a good mood. Suddenly he was a little surprised to see Huang Daozhou like this and asked: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited? Why are you still crying?"

Huang Xin said: "Dad, we may not have any tea eggs to eat. They will be sold out in a while, and there is only soup left in the pot."

The little girl was already jumping for joy and said: "Dad, Dad, I brought tea eggs to five uncles and aunts today, and I remembered to collect the money. I don't want to eat tea eggs, I want to make money and be filial to my parents."

Since the soup for boiling tea eggs is to be used repeatedly, the lid of the pot has been closed after selling the tea eggs. Huang Daozhou was so concerned that he did not notice that many onlookers were holding tea eggs in their hands.

I want to see my children.

At this time, Huang Daozhou was greatly surprised and asked doubtfully: "Sold, sold out?"

"Then there's still a lie?"

"How come it was sold out all of a sudden?"

Huang Han wrote lightly: "There are thousands of people coming and going here, and there are only a hundred tea eggs. As long as they can be sold, of course they will be very fast. Let's go home quickly. I also want to tell you the details of tomorrow's plans."

explain."

This is no lie. The cinema can accommodate more than a thousand people to watch movies. It chooses to do business at the intersection of the two shows. Not counting other people, there are nearly 3,000 people just watching the movie.

There will definitely be many people who miss meals because they are in a hurry. As long as dozens of people spend money to buy tea eggs to satisfy their hunger, this small amount of goods will certainly not worry about sales.

After making money, Huang Xin and Huang Qi were both happy. Of course Huang Han could keep his composure, but Huang Daozhou seemed to be still mumbling.

Walking lightly on the way home, the happy little girl sang, "Ronghua, velvet flower..."

Huang Xin also hummed along...

Huang Qi held Huang Han's hand and asked Huang Han to teach him something he didn't know how to sing. The little girl remembered it very well and basically learned the song in less than ten minutes.

After returning home, Huang Han saw Zhang Fangfen still wiring threads under the dim incandescent lamp.

He said happily: "Mom, thanks to your good wishes, we will have a good business and make a lot of money. All one hundred tea eggs have been sold. Customers all say that the tea eggs you boil are delicious."

Mom laughed, "Really?"

Huang Xin immediately took out all the money and said, "One to five, ten to start counting."

The business income was quickly calculated, and I received a total of four yuan and thirty-five cents and six and a half kilograms of food stamps.

Huang Han said: "Dad, we are not greedy. We will cook another 150 tea eggs tomorrow, which will be enough to fill a rice pot and sell them.

In order to maximize profits, I would like to ask you to get off work early at noon and go to the production team near your factory to visit a few houses. I believe that fifteen kilograms of eggs can be collected without visiting ten houses. You can bid 20 cents per kilogram.

That’s totally fine.”

Zhang Fangfen said: "Dao Zhou, Huang Han is right. When a hawker goes to the countryside to collect eggs, the price will not be more than 20 cents. Sometimes they also pay on credit. If you give them cash, you don't need to pick big ones. As long as they reach ten per pound, it should be very convenient."

easy."

Huang Daozhou thought for a while and said: "Fifteen pounds of eggs save five cents per pound. It should be seventy-five cents, which is more than twenty yuan a month. In the middle of winter, it is more than half a month's salary of mine."

.”

Huang Han smiled and said: "I guess it will take you an hour to do it. When you find a permanent partner, it won't even take an hour. It will be easier to make money than if you think about going to the ship dock to work as a coolie!"

Money moved people's hearts. At this moment, Huang Daozhou saw the hope of changing poverty. He no longer hesitated and said, "I will definitely buy fifteen kilograms of eggs and bring them back when I go home at noon."

Huang Han said: "It doesn't matter if fifteen pounds is more or less, my sister will give dad four yuan.

We will continue our business tomorrow, but there is no need to go so late. We can arrive at the entrance of the cinema before 6:30, which is still an hour before the movie starts at 7:30 pm, which is enough time for us to sell out all the tea eggs."

Huang Han has proven the feasibility of the plan with actions, and got a profit of more than two yuan tonight.

If we can sell fifteen kilograms tomorrow, and go directly to the farmer's house to collect the eggs, saving five cents on the cost, the gross profit of one tea egg will be about three cents, and the net profit should be more than four yuan.

If you can complete the target tasks every day, you can get a net profit of 120 to 130 yuan a month, which is equivalent to more than three times Zodiac's salary.

Starting from 1979, Huang Daozhou's salary was raised from 20 yuan for living expenses to 34.8 cents a month. The previous salary was not supplemented by a penny, and his level was reduced by two levels.

If you can continue the small business of selling tea eggs, I believe you will be able to get out of poverty soon, but it will not be easy to become rich.

The problem is, who doesn’t know how to cook tea eggs? Such a low-end business will soon encounter too much competition.

"Those who build atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs!" This sentence is pure nonsense. There are so many people selling tea eggs, and it is impossible to make a small amount of money to support the family by doing this.

Therefore, Huang Han had no illusions about how long he could do it. As long as he could do it for a few months and accumulate a few hundred yuan, he would be satisfied.

What does it mean to be big with a small amount of money? Huang Han will operate slowly with the capital of a tortoise, and he can also complain if he becomes a tycoon: "The thing I regret most is that I caught the tortoise and got the first capital

.”

I hope tomorrow will be a quiet and peaceful Friday night, but Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen seem to be tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.

After nearly twenty years of hard work, gray hair has climbed up to my temples before I knew it, but my family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to install a fluorescent lamp.

It would be great if I could really earn four yuan a day, one hundred and twenty a month, spend more than thirty yuan to install a fluorescent lamp, and spend more than eighty yuan to buy that old "Butterfly" brand sewing machine.

My sister had already written to me and said that she had taken a close look at the sewing machine that was on sale at the second-hand shop.

I used it carefully and regularly wiped it with oil, and basically no parts were rusty. I originally insisted on paying 90 yuan, but my sister agreed to give it 3 yuan after being kind.

Should I write a letter to Shanghai tomorrow to tell my sister to buy that sewing machine? But what if the tea egg business is not so easy to do and I can’t save the money?

My sister's family has five children, and they are not well off. They have given money in advance but they cannot come up with it. My brother-in-law may lose his temper with his sister.

While Huang Daozhou was thinking wildly, Zhang Fangfen at the other end of the bed kicked him lightly and said, "What's wrong? You're tossing and turning and can't sleep?"

"Yeah! My mind is very confused. I'm a little happy and a little worried. I can't sleep."

"Dao Zhou, I'm a little worried that Huang Han is so assertive all of a sudden. Ancient books say that children who are precocious will not live long!"

"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. My son will definitely live a long life. Don't think too much and go to bed quickly."

"In three to five days, I will be able to sell out a few pieces of clothing that people are eager to ask for. If the tea eggs can still sell well tomorrow, I will be prepared to reduce the work of mending seams."

"That's how it should be. Seeing you sewing non-stop every day makes me feel uncomfortable, not to mention it. I just won't do such boring sewing work in the future."

"It's not that I don't mind the hard work, but I feel that I can't earn twenty yuan a month despite the hardship. It would be great if I could really earn more than one hundred yuan a month by selling tea eggs."

"Who knows! Money you don't get doesn't count."

"I'm thinking! If my family really has more than 150 yuan a month, how should I spend it? I can only spend two yuan on eating meat every day!"

"Hey! If you really eat meat every day, you won't be able to eat much in one meal. One dollar is enough. But it's useless if you have money! How can my family have so many meat tickets?"

"It doesn't matter. I can buy chickens for my children. A little rooster weighing less than two pounds can be bought for about one yuan."
