Seeing that they came back so quickly, Hua Zhao knew that their business was good today.
"Is anyone looking for trouble? What are the reactions of other vendors?" Hua Zhao is still most concerned about this.
"No, everything is fine." Zhang Guilan said with some worry: "Only one vendor came to buy a cup of melon seeds, and then they all gathered together and muttered, not knowing what to say. Later there were several vendors
Come to me and buy a lot of melon seeds."
"It's okay, they won't do anything, and we haven't taken much of the market from them." Hua Zhao said, "If they come again, tell them that the melon seeds you produce will be gone when they are sold out. I wish them a prosperous business."
Those hawkers cannot be farmers from the countryside who come to the city to make extra money. They can only be unemployed people in the city who do this professionally.
It's been 1976. Although not all educated youth have returned to the city, those with connections have returned. However, there are not so many jobs arranged for them, so they can only stay at home.
Now that the policy has been loosened, there will be more small businesses and hawkers on the streets.
They work all year round, but they only sell it for a month or two, so there is not much conflict.
With Hua Zhao's guidance, Zhang Guilan felt more at ease and happily counted money with her children.
Today she carried 20 kilograms of melon seeds on her back. Each of her three children weighed 5 kilograms, which equals 15 kilograms. However, some of them were used during the trial. After all, some people have not bought them. You have to try them before buying.
At last count, the total was 165 yuan. Adding in the 75 during the day, I made 240 yuan today.
Ye Shu was so excited when he saw it: "Why is it so easy to make money?" She never knew.
This is different from Hua Zhao making a lot of money digging ginseng. That one is rare, and there are few people in China who make a fortune from ginseng like her.
But selling melon seeds is different. Anyone can sell it, even children.
Although it is said that Huazhao's melon seeds are good and expensive, just look at other people who sell them for 25 cents. I heard that their business is also good and they sell more than Zhang Guilan. If the income is divided by 2, they also make more than 100 a day.
That’s more than 3,000 a month!
In the past, she had never thought that a hawker could make money like this.
Ye Shu was still stunned in amazement, but Zhang Guilan had already left the money with Hua Zhao and took the children home to sleep.
In her alley, there were only a few single-family houses, and the rest were large courtyards, with many people and idle people. She was afraid. But she felt relieved if she left them here with Hua Zhao.
The people living in this alley are different. People around them also know who lives here. If a thief comes and doesn't know the truth, he will be frightened when he enters the yard.
What kind of family would live in such a big yard? Most thieves can't afford to offend it.
Hua Zhao put all the money in a special wooden box and said, "Yes, the money now is really good."
This is a golden age, and it is already beginning to take shape.
After a few decades, it would be a dream for mobile vendors to sell melon seeds and earn what others earn in seven or eight years in a month.
But now, as long as you dare to do something, there is money everywhere, you can pick it up at will.
But there are too few people who dare. Firstly, they are afraid of being caught, and secondly, they are afraid of being embarrassed.
Some people know how to make money, but they won't give up their jobs that barely make ends meet and go out to set up stalls. They can't afford to lose that person.
Maybe it’s the humble mentality of businessmen that has been passed down for thousands of years, or maybe it’s because the crackdown on the private economy was too harsh in the past. Everyone thinks that small traders and self-employed people are a very shameful profession. Only those who have no other choice will do it.
...
In the next few days, with Ye Shu's around-the-clock company, Zhang Guilan felt relieved. She went to the train station and the movie theater every day, making a lot of money.
She also felt the joy of picking up money and couldn't stop at all.
The market at the train station is still so tepid because there are no old customers and almost all the customers are new every day.
But she can sell 30 kilograms in a day. At night, she and her children can sell a total of 50 kilograms, or 80 kilograms in a day.
