Chapter 357 The small shop is open

Lu Xingjun and his wife quarreled for most of the night because of Lu Fengqin.

Although they lived in the same house, they were in the same yard after all, so other people heard it. Li Yue'e did not try to persuade them. On the issue of educating children, if the eldest couple had different ideas, the two younger ones would have to worry about whether the eldest child could change the situation and whether they would be taught in the wrong way again.

Lu Changzheng and his friends, who were far away in Guangzhou, did not know about the affairs of Lujia Village.

At this moment, Lu Changzheng was accompanying Su Tingqian to negotiate with the staff at the Guangzhou Railway Station.

Although Su Tingqian cannot resign yet, Mo Yurong has already resigned. Since he had promised the leader at the beginning, he still had to implement the necessary preparations as soon as possible.

Once this matter is opened, there will definitely be people with a keen sense of smell who will catch wind of it. The country will collect reference data, so it is impossible for them to be the only one. What they want now is to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.

Director Jin, who is in charge of Yangcheng Railway Station, did not expect such a thing to happen, but since the other party brought him the instruction with a red seal, he had no choice but to cooperate.

Director Jin took the instruction and read it again and again, and asked uncertainly: "Professor Su, did the leader really say that it would be done in our railway station?"

After all, this instruction only stated that in order to cooperate with the country's specific pilot projects, the Su family was allowed to engage in small-scale business activities within a certain range. But it didn't explicitly say that they had to come to the railway department's train station.

This instruction was obtained by the Su brothers through many connections in order to have more autonomy, so the scope of operation is very large.

"The leader said that we must first solve the people's livelihood problems, the train station..." Su Tingqian said the problems he found.

Director Jin nodded. They naturally knew these problems, so didn't they have a small shop at the train station? But thinking of the problems of the small shop that Su Tingqian just mentioned, he didn't say anything further.

They had no choice. What to sell was not their business. Their leaders also spent a lot of effort to get the gang to agree to open a small shop here. As for the few choices, people only have those kinds of food. They can't move a state-owned hotel here, right?

As for the problem of closing the store at night, there was even less that could be done. People were going to work and leaving work as usual. Could they really prevent them from leaving work?

Thinking of this, Director Jin seemed to understand the intention of the leader. There must be competition in order to make progress. Maybe someone else would join in...

Director Jin had long disliked the female salesperson in the small store. Not only was she lazy at work, but her attitude was also very bad. Not to mention the passengers, even the staff like them would ignore her when they went to buy things. She was either reading newspapers, knitting sweaters or sleeping.

But unfortunately, this small store only had the female salesperson as an employee, and no one else. It was useless for someone to report it. It was said that it was someone's sister-in-law who suppressed it.

"Okay, since the leader has said so, we will naturally cooperate with him." After Director Jin finished speaking, he asked the logistics department to send the key, and then took people to choose a place.

The train station at that time did not take into account the issue of selling things, and there was no space planned for shops. The few remaining empty rooms were also in the corners. If people wanted to buy things, they had to come specifically, which was very inconvenient.

Su Tingqian walked around and finally pointed to a location that all passengers entering and leaving the station would pass by, and asked: "Director Jin, do you think I should choose this place?"

The train station at that time was not like later generations, where passengers entering and leaving the station would use different passages. At this time, many passages were shared.

Director Jin frowned, "You want us to build a store for you here?"

"No, just give me this place and I will prepare the store myself."

"Professor Su, Deputy Commander Lu, we can't build here randomly. If we want to change this place, we have to get approval from the leaders above."

Su Tingqian waved his hand, "Don't worry, we won't do anything rash. Just give us the space on the edge of this piece, and then I will bring a mobile shop here. You know what a mobile shop is? It will look similar to the newsstand in the post office now..."

After the college entrance examination was resumed, the propaganda department was liberalized, and many newspapers and magazines were resumed. It was really troublesome for people to buy these at the post office. In order to meet the people's increasing cultural needs, the post office selected several streets with high traffic in several large cities and tentatively launched the newsstand model on the streets. Yangcheng is one of them.

Director Jin thought about the newsstands that had appeared on the street two months ago and felt that it was feasible, but he did not dare to agree immediately, saying that he had to apply to the leader first.

After the two left, Director Jin called the leader above. After learning that the other party had an instruction with a red seal from the state, the leader gave Director Jin full responsibility for the matter, as long as it did not affect the normal operation of the train station.

The next day, Director Jin called the number that Su Tingqian had left, saying that the leader approved it, but they must be careful not to affect the normal entry and exit of passengers.

Su Tingqian naturally agreed. After work, he asked Lu Changzheng to drive him to the train station. The father-in-law and son-in-law chose a spacious place, near the edge, and measured the size. After

the matter was settled, everyone began to divide the work.

Su Yiyuan asked Xu Qifa to find someone to build a small iron shop.

Su Mo and Lu Changzheng were given the task of getting the raw materials. If they wanted to sell food, they would need rice, flour, meat and vegetables.

They could get all of these from Xu Qifa's free market, but the things in the free market were expensive. Except for meat, Su Mo's ability could produce everything else, so there was no need to waste the money.

Besides, the things produced by Su Mo tasted much better than those grown locally. Delicious food was the first key to retaining customers.

The couple took the instructions and used their connections to go to the grain station and the agricultural and trade market to get a monthly purchase order of 500 kilograms. Of course, this was just a cover. They only purchased part of the goods so that they could mix the things that Su Mo had promoted into the goods.

Su Tingqian and his wife, one was busy asking old chefs who were good at making snacks from all over the country, and the other began to practice cooking.

At the end of March, the two houses were also decorated, and the overall effect was quite satisfactory. The two houses cost a total of 900 yuan, including materials, labor, and customized cabinets.

The combined area of ​​the two houses is more than 400 square meters, which is only more than two yuan per square meter.

The leader of the construction team even asked someone to take pictures after the decoration. When they took the job, they would show this, and the level of their construction team would be different.

The decoration of Su Mo's house may seem ordinary in later generations, but it was very grand in this period.

In early April, the freezer that Xu Qifa bought from the port city also arrived. A total of two freezers were purchased, more than 1,000 yuan each, and the two freezers cost more than 2,000 yuan.

The custom-made tin house store was also completed, which cost more than 200 yuan. If it were in the countryside, it could be used to build a house.

Everything was ready, and everyone was busy preparing to open the business.

On Sunday, April 10, 1977, the Su family's first small shop opened!
