Transmigrated to the 70s: Starting as a Textile Worker

Gu Chun, a graduate of a prestigious university and a designer at a top apparel company, died unexpectedly during a bus robbery. She transmigrated into the body of an 18-year-old girl, also named G...

Chapter 76 Gujia Village Workshop

Gu Chun opened the wooden box and a sweet smell wafted out.

She took out a piece of chestnut cake and said, "Manager Yu, try this chestnut cake."

Yu Shengli took it and saw that the pastry was dark yellow in color. It was indeed chestnut, round in shape, and had lotus patterns on the surface.

That sweet smell just now was this!

He took a bite, and the fragrance of chestnuts spread in his mouth, with a sweet taste of sugar. The texture was soft, and it seemed as if he could taste the chestnut grains.

It’s so delicious.

He finished one piece in two bites, and his eyes lit up.

Gu Chun thought, "It's settled!"

She still had a polite smile on her face and took out a piece of yam and hazelnut cake for him to try.

After finishing the cake, Yu Shengli had already set his eyes on her wooden box.

"Um, this comrade..."

Gu Chun smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself, Manager Yu, my name is Gu Chun."

Yu Shengli now had a sincere smile on his face. "Okay, Comrade Gu, do you want to sell these cakes in our grocery store?"

He had already guessed his purpose, so Gu Chun didn't beat around the bush. "Yes, Manager Yu."

Yu Shengli pondered for a moment, "How many cakes like this do you have left?"

"Manager Yu, these are the first batch we've made, and we still have 50 pieces left.

You can try selling it first and then place an order with us."

Yu Shengli was a little disappointed when he heard that it was only fifty yuan. He didn't even need to try it, it would definitely sell well.

This pastry is novel and tastes better than those on the shelves now.

“That’s the price…”

Gu Chun was confident. "I calculated the cost and gave you 30 cents for one dollar. What do you think?"

The pastries they are selling now are made of oil, sugar and flour, and they cost an average of 80 cents each, and you also need a pastry ticket.

Yu Shengli thought about it and agreed. After all, he could tell from the taste of the pastry that it contained sugar and possibly flour, and the cost was not low.

"Okay, you can keep the fifty dollars of pastries, and I'll have the finance department give you the fifteen dollars."

After Gu Chun received the money, Yu Shengli sent her out.

Before leaving, she wrote down the phone number of the Gujia Village Committee for Yu Shengli, and asked him to let her know in advance if he wanted to place an order next time.

After returning home, Gu Chun took out the money.

When He Ling saw the fifteen yuan, her eyes widened.

Just those few pastries, and they sold for fifteen yuan!

"Chun, why is this grocery store willing to spend so much money on our cakes? They're not going to ask us for the money back, are they?"

Gu Chun shook his head. "Aunt, no. I give them 30 cents a piece, so 50 yuan is 15 yuan. No problem."

"Thirty cents for that piece of cake?"

"Aunt, do you know? The pastry I bought for Master Xiao last time cost 1.8 yuan and required a ticket!

We give them 30 cents for this, and they can sell it for 60 cents without a ticket, so someone will definitely buy it."

He Ling shook her head. "This is incredible! You're really smart, girl. You earned fifteen dollars in one go."

Gu Chun took out five yuan and gave it to her. "Aunt, this is yours. You helped make the cake."

He gave each child a dollar and said, "This is the money you get for helping me pick chestnuts."

I gave my uncle two dollars and said, "Uncle, you have worked hard, so I'll give you double your salary."

He Ling was a little surprised when she took the money. "Chun, why are you sharing the money? Just take it yourself. I just helped you. Why should I charge you money?"

Seeing that their aunt refused to take it, the children did not dare to take it.

Gu Chun smiled and said, "Aunt, this is what you deserve. You can take it too."

After hearing what their eldest sister said, the children put their money away.

He Ling wanted to say something, but Gu Chun quickly said, "Aunt, let's discuss what to do next."

"What happened next?"

"According to the current policy, you are not allowed to run a business individually. I thought that most of these pastries are made by you, as you have the skills.

Let's discuss with the village party secretary and set up a small workshop in the village, recruit a few villagers, and make cakes together.

Even if you invest in technology, you can get dividends later."

He Ling and Gu Daniu were stunned when they heard her grand plan.

This is a big deal!

You can imagine how happy the villagers will be if this workshop is successfully established!

First of all, it can make money. It can be sold for 30 cents per piece, and the cost is less than 1 cent.

Chestnuts, hazelnuts and yams grow wild in the mountains, and neither sugar nor glutinous rice flour is used much.

The cost is really low.

What’s more, they all have jobs!

Rural people have always wanted to move to the city because they can have a job and get a salary.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was impossible and they were just dreaming.

Gu Chun was helpless and sighed in his heart.

"Uncle, let's not talk about whether it can be done or not. Let's talk to the village party secretary about this first."

Gu Jianguo, the branch secretary of Gujia Village, now likes Gu Daniu's family the most.

Not only did Gu Zhenzhu come to the city to work, but Gu Xia also brought an old doctor to treat them for free.

He himself had suffered from rheumatism for many years, and after a few injections, he is now much better!

Now that he heard that Gu Chun wanted to help the village set up a workshop and sell products to the supply and marketing cooperative, he was even more amazed, thinking that this family was full of talents.

He doesn't have confidence in this matter. What's the point of just making a verbal plan?

Unexpectedly, he received a call from the grocery store the next day.

I heard Gu Chun discussing with Manager Yu on the phone that they wanted an additional batch of pastries, 200 yuan each, and they wanted it tomorrow!

He immediately notified all the village cadres to attend the meeting.
