Rebirth in 1984: Cornered by Second Sister in Bathroom

Back in 1984, he woke up with four stunning sisters, but also unpleasant people whom they were with, which lead to downfall in the tides of the times. Determined to make up for his past mistakes, J...

Chapter 7 Thinking about a way out

It has to be said that prices are really cheap at this time, but many people are still reluctant to buy meat to eat.

Even Jiang Sheng, whose eldest sister is the head of a factory, only eats meat once every two or three days.

Without food coupons and meat coupons, he naturally spent more money. Five catties of rice and five catties of flour, plus two catties of meat, cost him about three yuan in total. Jiang Sheng thought about going back to improve his meals and also think about what good opportunities might come his way at this time.

Choosing the right opportunity is crucial. Only with money can one have real power, and only then will he be able to help his four older sisters and reverse their tragic fate in their previous life.

However, it's still summer vacation, so it will take some time to figure out an opportunity within two months.

When I got home, the house was quiet. My eldest sister was at the factory and my second sister was at work, so everything felt empty.

Jiang Sheng took the rice and flour to the kitchen one by one, and then cut the pork into pieces and washed and cleaned it simply.

My eldest and second eldest sisters went to work at the factory and I was left alone at home. They usually ate lunch at the factory.

After blanching the vegetables, Jiang Sheng quickly prepared some simple cold dishes and steamed the rice.

Although his cooking skills are not good, he can still make porridge and prepare a few simple cold dishes with vegetables.

Jiang Sheng sat back down at the dining table, eating while thinking about what breakthrough to find next.

I'm only eighteen years old, so even if I do some business, I can do it under an adult's name, which is relatively more convenient.

However, accumulating initial capital by selling socks is rather slow.

In the 1980s, the most profitable things were electrical appliances and food.

Small home appliances are extremely expensive these days, but there are still quite a few wealthy people in Yanjing.

Selling small appliances is indeed a viable business opportunity, but precisely because it's profitable, there are many small appliance vendors here, making the competition extremely fierce.

Moreover, the unit price of electrical appliances is quite high. If they can't be sold, they will be stuck in your hands and you will lose a lot of money.

Therefore, if you really want to sell some high-quality, low-priced goods, and even if you lose money, you won't lose too much, you can only focus on food.

Let's talk about food...

Jiang Sheng raised his head, his eyes unconsciously looking towards the kitchen, where he saw the freshly washed pork on the cutting board, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, he can make canned food!

Aside from canned food, including canned fruit, these are all rare items in Yanjing City nowadays!

A regular can of fruit can sell for 20 cents a can, while canned food, such as chicken or pork, can sell for 1.5 yuan a can!

In the 1980s, when a pound of pork cost 96 cents, a can of pork weighed only a few hundred grams at most. After deducting labor and site costs, the cost could be controlled to around 70 cents per can.

If we can really sell in large quantities, after deducting the costs, the profit will be much more than just a little bit!

If canned meat can be so profitable, imagine how much more profitable canned fruit is.

Jiang Sheng became more and more excited as he thought about it. After quickly finishing his meal, he returned to his bedroom, sat down at his desk, and began to write furiously, thinking about solutions.

Making canned goods requires canning jars, sealing machines, can lids, and most importantly, a factory and hired workers.

All these aspects need to be considered carefully. As for the canned food jars, my eldest and second eldest sisters should have some connections in Yanjing City. We can ask them about it later.

Rubbing his slightly sore neck, Jiang Sheng put his pen on the table and realized that the room had already gotten a little dark.

Looking at the setting sun outside, he suddenly realized that it was already dark.

Before I knew it, an afternoon had passed.

I stood up and rubbed my shoulders. Just then, I heard the sound of the door opening outside. It must be my eldest and second eldest sisters returning.

Jiang Sheng opened the door and, sure enough, saw his second sister stretching and lounging on the sofa, looking somewhat tired. Her slender waist and long, beautiful legs were on full display, making one's breath catch in their throat.

As for the eldest sister, Zhao Nianmeng, she had just returned home.

Seeing Jiang Sheng approaching, carrying a money box, the second sister curiously came closer.

What is this?

Jiang Sheng placed the money box beside him and sat down opposite his second sister.

"This is the money I earned at the morning market this morning."

As Jiang Sheng spoke, he opened the money box, revealing it filled with bills and coins.

The second sister was shocked when she saw the money inside.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Sheng then casually recounted the story of selling socks that morning to his eldest and second eldest sisters.

The two women widened their beautiful eyes in shock when they heard Jiang Sheng say that he had earned more than 30 yuan in one morning.

“Xiao Sheng,” the eldest sister Zhao Nianmeng said with a serious face, “tell me honestly, where did you get this money from?”

Seeing Zhao Nianmeng's disbelief, Jiang Sheng felt helpless and raised his hands.

"Sister, if you really don't believe me, you can go directly to the wholesale market and ask. I set up a stall there this morning."

Jiang Sheng spoke with such seriousness that he didn't seem to be lying at all.

Zhao Nianmeng nodded with a suspicious look, then her face hardened and she scolded.

"If you need money, just tell me. You're a student, you don't need to do these things."

She was just being considerate of her younger brother; there was no need for him to go out and do business to earn some money just because of money.

"I just wanted to challenge myself."

Jiang Sheng still held his elder sister in high regard, and explained the situation.

However, the second sister, Zhao Xuehui, chuckled and grabbed a handful of banknotes from the money box.

"I never knew my brother was so good at business. I'm giving this money to my second sister. You don't mind, do you?"

Zhao Xuehui, with a gentle and kind demeanor, winked at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng looked helplessly at the witch, shook his head and chuckled, then grabbed a handful of banknotes and stuffed them into Zhao Nianmeng's hand.

"Big sister, this money is yours, as for the rest..."

Jiang Sheng scratched his head and chuckled, "I'll take this and buy some more socks to sell. Later, I'll give all the money to my eldest and second sisters."

"I didn't expect that Xiao Sheng still thinks about us."

Zhao Xuehui smiled broadly, looked at the money in the money box, and shook her head with emotion.

"Xiao Sheng has grown up; he's no longer that little brat who used to steal bird eggs with his bare bottom showing!"

Jiang Sheng was speechless. Looking at Zhao Xuehui's delicate features, which were full of teasing smiles, his chest trembled slightly, and he felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Quickly suppress that thought.
