Hao Mei thought she would feel uncomfortable and cry for a while, mourning the end of her twenty-one-year marriage.
But the fact is that after returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Rutang dragged her to set up a stall in Port D.
Hao Mei was not given any time to shed tears.
Hao Mei's complicated mood only lasted for a moment, and soon she was distracted by her daughter's booming business.
In two hours, three large pots of Poon Choi were sold out, and two large barrels of beer were gone.
It was extremely hot today. The workers drank a lot of beer and one barrel was sold out. Rutang asked Xiaoyue to ride to the brewery to buy another barrel.
"Mom, let's start adding dumplings tomorrow. Can you make them? If you can make them, I'll give them to you at a 50-50 ratio," Rutang said to her mother.
"No matter how much you share, no mother would care about her children and ask for money." Hao Mei felt that she should help her daughter.
It's not easy for a young couple to start a business, but she can help a lot.
"That won't work. You've been helping me cook these past few days, and I haven't contributed much. Brother Yaoyang told me to split the accounts. He said that if I give you money, I'm afraid you won't want it, so I might as well split the accounts. Even if we do business together,
.”
"I am only your daughter, and all my money is for you." Hao Mei felt warm in her heart when she heard that it was her son-in-law who said it.
It is good for children to have this filial piety, but she cannot have it.
"Okay, if you don't want to share it, then Brother Yaoyang and I will be filial to you, and you can't refuse." Rutang guessed that her mother wouldn't want it, so it doesn't matter, she would compensate her mother from other places.
In fact, Rutang can do all the work that Hao Mei does by herself.
It's not that she's too lazy to help her mother, it's that her mother just got divorced and needs to do something to divert her attention, and she can't be allowed to calm down and think about it.
Seeing that Hao Mei agreed to help make dumplings, Rutang gave her the profit analysis.
"We sell dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel. People at the seaside like to eat them. The mackerel doesn't require a ticket. The cost of buying it from fishermen is only 30 cents per plate, and with 15 pieces per plate, our profit can reach more than half."
Not everyone can make dumplings stuffed with mackerel fillings, and they can become very fishy if not done well.
But Hao Mei has mastered the secret of removing the fishy smell, and the dumplings she makes are excellent.
"Mom, according to your speed, you can wrap at least five in one minute, and you can earn 15 cents in three minutes. If you wrap two hours a day, how much do you think it will cost? Six yuan."
Rutang calculated the number of outsourced workers in Hong Kong. Selling forty more plates of dumplings a day was definitely a piece of cake.
"Two hours is not enough. I have nothing to do when I'm free, so pack more!" Hao Mei suddenly became energetic and immediately forgot about the old man Chen Fu.
Seeing her expression, Rutang knew that she had made the right move and continued to paint a cake for her mother.
"I asked about houses in the city. A house like Sister Hua's with a yard can be bought for more than 2,000. If we work hard for two months, we can settle down in the city."
Although there is no concept of commercial housing yet, it is possible to choose a factory with poor profitability and buy a house. The price of more than 2,000 yuan will take an ordinary worker several years to save, but for a small business like the Tang family,
For traders, it’s not that difficult.
"Buy your own house?! Settling in the city?" Hao Mei was surprised.
Rutang nodded, why not?
Now that she has divorced Chen Fu, she should not go back to Dali Village. Although her mother is in good health, farming is too tiring after all. It will only take a few months to divide the fields into households. Once the production team is disbanded,
A landless rural divorced woman like her mother would have a very difficult life in the village.
Grandma has made it clear that if her mother's family doesn't give her land, Chen Fu's side will definitely get nothing, so she might as well stay in the city and enjoy the blessings.
"Mom, Brother Yaoyang and I have several plans to make money now. Setting up a stall and selling food is just a transition. When we have capital in hand, we will have other livelihoods, and we won't be so tired by then.
I remember that the current number of houses in the capital is more than 30,000 yuan."
House prices in the capital are always expensive. In a northern seaside town like D City, you can buy a small bungalow outside the city for 2,000. In the capital, it is more than ten times more expensive. However, if you save enough money to buy a house in the capital,
That's a huge profit.
Buying a few second-ring courtyard houses and hoarding them will be astronomical in future generations. If you get a set of 30,000 yuan in later generations, you won't be able to buy even one square meter. For Rutang, going to the capital to stock up on houses is almost like picking up money for free.
, when the family has money, the more the better.
To Hao Mei's ears, these words became a fantasy.
"A house worth thirty thousand yuan?! Is the roof made of gold or the walls are made of gold? Why is it so expensive? You can steal the money." Hao Mei thinks that being a household with ten thousand yuan is already a big deal, but she can afford to buy a house with tens of thousands of yuan.
It seems crazy.
"Big cities have a lot of room for development and value-added, but that's all for the future. Let's take care of the immediate things now. The future is promising, and -" Rutang paused, holding up his hand.
on the belly.
"Brother Yaoyang and I plan to have a baby as soon as possible. You have to help me. I don't know how to take care of a baby."
"That's a good relationship!" Hao Mei's whole body lit up when she heard that her daughter was going to have a baby.
Rutang's trick works well against her mother-in-law, but it works even better against her own mother.
Hao Mei felt that the future was very promising. Her daughter planned to have a baby, so she had to help her make money quickly and buy a house so that the baby would have a home.
Thinking about it like this, I wish I could put on my wings and rush home, make dough, steam buns, and make dumplings without wasting a minute.
All Hao Mei thinks about is helping her daughter make money, and thinking about Chen Fu for a second is a waste of money.
Life is full of motivation. No matter whether that old scumbag lives or dies, she will be satisfied as long as she takes good care of her daughter.
Yu Yaoyang is a man of his word. When he returned to the village, he took out 500 yuan from his pocket.
Chen Fu's whole body lit up when he saw the money, and he reached out to take it with a smile on his face. Yu Yaoyang took the money back.
"Go to the village chief and you must have a witness."
Chen Fu nodded hurriedly. His mind was all about money. Even if he was asked to kneel down and bark like a dog, he would be happy.
When he arrived at the village chief, Yu Yaoyang gave the money to Chen Fu in front of the village chief and declared that the two families would have no relationship in the future. If anyone in the village said that his wife was unfilial, he would really take action.
The village chief wanted to persuade Chen Fu to stop being a monster. Hao Mei was a woman who knew how to live a good life. She would definitely regret abandoning her wife and daughter for a few hundred dollars.
But when Chen Fu said that he was divorced, the village chief could only shake his head. Chen Fu was really seeking death, and he would cry in the future.
Chen Fu carried a huge sum of money and went straight to the gambling place. He didn't even want to go back home, lest his brothers would ask him to borrow money when he returned home. He would gamble a few times first and get used to it.
I don’t know what’s going on today, but several of his card partners are not here, and there are only a few young street guys at the card table, all of whom are Yu Yaoyang’s subordinates.
Chen Fu didn't realize at all that he had stepped into the trap of Rutang and his wife, so he sat down and started gambling.
He was lucky and kept winning money. Chen Fu became more and more inflated. When he was very excited about winning, the door opened.
