It's impossible to start a big project now. After all, it was only 1977. If you want to go through the legal procedures, it will take at least two years.
To make a small fuss, we can only start with food and clothing.
As for wearing clothes, Hua Zhao feels that she can barely be a designer. After all, many handicrafts in her previous life were related to clothing, such as pajamas, sweaters, and embroidery. She can do these.
And she has an eye for fashion.
But if this person doesn’t make money, how can he open a tailor shop to do private customization?
She doesn't have that kind of skill, and Xu Mei's temper probably doesn't have that professional quality either.
So let’s start with food.
It wouldn't be possible for Xu Mei to open a restaurant with her mother, but selling snacks might be possible.
After 1977, there are relatively few restrictions on the movement of people, and it is not that difficult to go out. There are more and more people at the train station.
Selling steamed buns is more profitable than selling tea eggs.
In addition to train stations, there are also major factories, schools, and family homes. Any place with a lot of people, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell.
Zhang Guilan's craftsmanship is beyond praise, and the ingredients she provides are even more impressive.
It was decided happily! She wanted to sell steamed buns!
However, she was soon struck.
Nowadays, food is limited, as well as vegetables and meat. You cannot buy as much as you want.
Make bricks without straw.
"It would be great if this was in the countryside." Hua Zhao sighed.
When the time comes, the big yard, private plot, and her "craftsmanship" will allow her to have as many vegetables as she wants.
But now, people line up all night long to buy a single piece of Chinese cabbage.
Ye Shen heard this and was immediately embarrassed.
He originally wanted to bring a better life to his daughter-in-law, but after bringing her to the capital and living in a big house, he brought her countless troubles.
Now you want to go home and farm?
How can this work!
"You just want to sell some food?" Ye Shen asked.
"Yes." Hua Zhao said, "It's not limited to steamed buns, but also dumplings..." She smiled, but now she discovered that what she thought was the simplest thing was actually the most difficult.
"What about selling meat?" Ye Shen asked.
"Huh? Rice and noodles are hard to make, but meat is easy to make? Don't use the Ye family's connections." Hua Zhao said.
She knew that with the Ye family's relationship, it was very simple to get some rice and noodles, but she didn't want to use it.
Ye Shen pondered for a moment: "It doesn't matter. Then it can only be the pig's head and feet. When the time comes, let Liu Qian and the others go to the slaughterhouse to contact them." He smiled and said: "So
If Liu Qian is eloquent, he will definitely be able to get it done."
Liu Qian was one of the three people he called over to fry popcorn with Zhang Guilan before. He was the most eloquent. With his mouth, he could buy things from the slaughterhouse without the Ye family's connections.
In the slaughterhouses in the capital, hundreds of pigs are slaughtered every day. The amount of pork is rationed, and the amount is allocated wherever it is. There cannot be any differences. However, there are no tasks such as pig drainage, heads and hooves, and they are all slaughtered.
The field handles it yourself.
Whichever unit you have a good relationship with, you will give them some, or even give them to no one, sell them to internal employees, and no one will say anything. This is the welfare of the slaughterhouse.
Of course, this is not possible when supplies are tight. At that time, rice bran had to be allocated. But isn't it 1977 now? The shortage of supplies has been greatly improved.
In a few years, these will be unlimited and you can buy them if you have money.
It was the first time Hua Zhao heard about these unspoken rules in the slaughterhouse, and he was very excited: "I asked why I didn't see pig head meat and pig meat being sold in the market. I just saw a few pig hooves occasionally."
In fact, there are some, but they are usually bought by the first few lucky customers who queue up early in the morning. After all, the water and the head and feet are cheap.
Nowadays, the price of pork is only 20 to 30 cents per catty, and there is no vote for pork, which is only 1 cents per catty. Who doesn’t care about it? They all buy it and take it home to make fried liver.
Some people who got up early and queued up were actually heading into the water with their heads and hooves in mind.
...
Hua Zhao was a man of action and asked his mother to call all three of Ye Shen's comrades to his home tomorrow.
They had been here the first day they arrived, and Hua Zhao had personally cooked and entertained them. This was their second visit.
When your children are one month old, you should actually invite them over for a meal.
"By the way, have Zhuang Yuanwu and the others recovered from their injuries? Have they left?" Hua Zhao asked.
They came to the capital together, but after returning to the capital, Hua Zhao was busy taking care of Ye Shen and dealing with troubles. After giving birth to the child, he even ignored them and forgot about them.
"It's time to invite them over for a meal." Hua Zhao said.
Although they were wrong at the beginning, Hua Zhao chose to forgive them now that they had not caused an irreversible situation.
Besides, she had to specially thank Zhuang Yuanwu. Without him, she might not be able to see Ye Shen again.
"I haven't left yet, but it's coming soon. I heard I'm going back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year," Ye Shen said.
Although the three people were injured less than him, it was still relative. Each of them actually had several broken bones. They were injured for 100 days, and they also took a long vacation.
Except for Chen Feng, who is from the capital, Zhao Yong and Zhuang Yuanwu are both from outside the city.
"That's good. Let's invite them to have dinner together tomorrow." Hua Zhao said, "I'll cook it myself."
Ye Shen pushed her down with a smile... He liked the way she worried about him and the way she accepted his friend, which made him happy and at ease.
Of course, what he likes most is her delicate appearance...
