A bowl of plain noodles in a state-owned restaurant costs only 80 cents, and it comes with meat scoops.
Tao Xiaotong stopped Shen Junqian from buying a hair flower.
Shen Junqian didn't care whether she wanted it or not, and he picked her hairpin with great interest.
The old lady was afraid that Tao Xiaotong would not buy anything, so she praised Shen Junqian: "Girl, look how good your boyfriend is to you. He bought you five hairpins and hairbands at once. I've been selling hairpins and hairbands at the gates of various universities, but I've never seen your boyfriend be so generous."
Shen Junqian insisted on buying it, and Tao Xiaotong had no choice but to choose the style with him.
Shen Junqian spent one yuan and fifty cents to pick out two hair ties and three hair flowers.
When the lady selling hairbands and hair ornaments left with a smile on her face, Tao Xiaotong complained to her, "This is too expensive."
"Don't you think this is a good deal?"
Having been with Shen Junqian for so long, Tao Xiaotong naturally knew what he was thinking about.
Before getting on the bus, she held Shen Junqian and said, "Please don't do that. There is a person who is engaged in speculation in our Foreign Language School and he has been punished by the school."
"You are currently a student in the Department of Economics at Kyoto University. If you are punished, it will affect your job search when you graduate."
Tao Xiaotong got on the bus with many instructions and asked Shen Junqian to give Lu Baiwei a hairband and a hair flower.
Shen Junqian accepted the hairband and flower that Tao Xiaotong had given him. He did not agree with his partner's statement that he was not allowed to do business.
The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.
When he was in the county, he was in charge of the black market and was considered the leader of speculation and profiteering.
The capital city is a market that is much larger than a county town. The policies are becoming more and more relaxed, and he would feel uncomfortable if he was not allowed to do business.
Every time he saw people secretly selling things at the school gate, he wished he could take their place.
He felt that there were business opportunities everywhere in the capital and it would be a great loss not to get involved.
After seeing Tao Xiaotong off, Shen Junqian walked through the alley and returned home excitedly, holding the hairband and hair flowers.
Turning around the screen wall, he called Lu Baiwei: "Sister Weiwei, look what this is, it's the hair ornament and hairband Xiaotong bought for you."
The butterfly-style hairband is a style I have never seen in department stores.
Moreover, this style of hair ornaments and hair ties is not difficult to make for Lu Baiwei, who had run a clothing business in her previous life. She can design a bunch of clothing styles, and this style of hair ornaments and hair ties is easy for her to design and hundreds of patterns in minutes.
Lu Baiwei also became interested. She asked Shen Junqian: "How much is one?"
"Three cents!"
When Lu Baiwei heard the price Shen Junqian mentioned, her eyes lit up.
Shen Junqian bought the hairband not only to give it to Tao Xiaotong, but also to show it to Lu Baiwei.
"I remember you and your cousin both learned how to make clothes from your aunt. You can make hair ties and flowers like this, right?"
"Of course we can, but Jun Qian, we are students at Kyoto University now, and we don't have the time to sell these hair ornaments and hair bands everywhere, right?"
Shen Junqian thought about it and agreed.
His sister Weiwei would go back to the military compound with He Ting to look after the children every weekend, and Zhou Yanfeng and Tang Yunling would also have to go back to be with their families. Normally, everyone was at school studying and had no time to do this kind of small business.
If you set up a workshop in your house privately and sell it to others on a wholesale basis, you may easily be reported by neighbors.
After all, since the house is haunted and they still live here, many neighbors are watching them.
Thinking that it was obviously a profitable business but he couldn't start it, Shen Junqian fell silent, and even the twinkling light in his eyes dimmed.
Of course Lu Baiwei knew why he suddenly became dispirited.
She felt that what she had said when she was diagnosing the old comrade was correct. Shen Junqian was born to be a businessman, and he would feel uncomfortable if he was not allowed to do business.
Seeing that his wife kept teasing Shen Junqian, He Ting couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, Vivi."
He Ting invited Shen Junqian: "You have to take some time next week to go to the Agricultural University with me."
The last time Professor Chen Wen and his wife came to the house, Guan Xiaoli didn't come.
In the past, when I was in the countryside, thanks to the guidance of Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying, it was necessary to visit Professor Chen at the Agricultural University.
Just bring Tao Xiaotong with you when the time comes.
However, Shen Junqian thought so and asked He Ting: "Are you going to the Agricultural University to see Professor Chen and Liu Zaicheng for something?"
"I have something to ask. I want to find out if Professor Chen and Liu Zaicheng can supply rabbit meat to our restaurant if we open a restaurant near the school."
no!
Why did he want to open a restaurant with He Ting?
How come he doesn't know it himself?
Shen Junqian asked him: "Do you want us to open a restaurant together? Do you want to cooperate with the street office?"
As long as it is related to doing business, Shen Junqian is full of energy.
Now he has all his skills but nowhere to use them.
When he heard that He Ting wanted to open a restaurant, he became excited.
Some state-owned restaurants are also joint ventures.
That's why Shen Junqian asked this question.
He Ting said this even though he knew how dedicated Shen Junqian was to doing business. Lu Baiwei felt that she and he were truly a family.
After being given a cold look by Lu Baiwei, He Ting knew what his wife meant, and quickly told Shen Junqian the news that Lu Baiwei had found out during her medical consultation.
"I thought the signal from the old comrades was that the upper level would liberalize the individual economy, but due to historical reasons, no one went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to apply for a business license for the individual economy. I received this signal at the time and thought why not be the first to try it out."
God knows how frustrated Shen Junqian is when he can’t do business.
When Shen Junqian heard from He Ting that the higher authorities might liberalize the individual economy, he felt as if a long drought had finally brought him a downpour, and that it was time for him to show his talents.
He was also very fortunate to have chosen to be a brother to He Ting.
Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the news first.
"Eat, this crab must be eaten."
"Whether it succeeds or not, we have to try."
Shen Junqian discussed with He Ting: "Let's not worry about whether Professor Chen and Liu Zaicheng can supply meat rabbits for a long time. As long as we can open a private restaurant, I think the business will be prosperous just by relying on the dishes that Weiwei makes in the countryside. This restaurant will definitely not lose money."
"We can make braised dishes, pasta, cakes, and anything else."
In her previous life, Lu Baiwei started out as a cook alongside Yin Zhihe. She has her own secret recipe for braised dishes.
She nodded in agreement: "I can make braised dishes. I have a recipe."
"Then it's decided!"
Shen Junqian said to He Ting, "Let's go to the Agricultural University this weekend. Before that, when you and I don't have classes, we'll take time to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to handle the formalities. No matter what, we'll have to get this business license."
To open a restaurant, not only do you have to get a business license, but you also have to figure out the source of the food, choose and rent a shop, consider labor costs, and so on.
Although He Ting received signals from old comrades that the private economy would soon be liberalized, he still encountered a lot of resistance in the process of applying for a business license.
"A-Ting, you need to apply for a private business license, but there is no such regulation."
