Chapter 58 How about developing a side business?
Gu Xueer shook her head and said obediently, "Aunt, I don't need to eat it every day. I just need to eat one pill occasionally."
In the past, at my grandmother’s house, eggs were given to my uncle’s children. She couldn’t have any of them. She could only eat an egg when she came to my grandmother’s house during the Chinese New Year.
Third Sister Gu nodded in agreement, "Yes, just eat one occasionally, no need to cook for her every day."
Su He glanced at Third Sister Gu and said, "Third sister, just let the child eat it. We have enough eggs at home."
Don't be so cautious
Gu's mother said to Gu's third sister, "Eat your meal quickly. You don't have to worry about this." The aunt felt sorry for the child.
Sister Gu lowered her head and ate.
It was settled. From then on, Mother Gu cooked an egg for Xueer every day. And every time they ate the egg, Third Sister Gu was very careful.
Even Gu's mother felt that her daughter was a little too nervous.
Su He also noticed it, but she ignored Third Sister Gu and didn't explain anything. She was already like this, so why should she say anything? Just let her be, be cautious if she wants, and don't worry about her.
She has been thinking about making extra money recently. The book says that house prices are very high in the future, so after the heroine Gu Li was reborn, she used the system to make money while studying.
She was working in the black market, doing reselling. She was reborn in 1970, and in 1977, in seven years, she had earned more than 10,000 yuan. That damn girl might have made money.
After graduating from university, I started a business while working. I used the money from my business to buy houses, courtyard houses, and land.
In short, I have money, free time and a tall and handsome boyfriend. I am basically at the peak of my life.
Su He was not that obsessed with housing. This might be because housing was allocated as part of their job, and also, housing prices were not high during their time.
I heard that in the future, it would cost more than one million to buy a house of about 100 square meters. This is in a small city. If it were in a big city like the capital Haishi, it would cost seven or eight million to buy a house of 100 square meters!
Su He was shocked and didn't understand. Was the house made of gold? It was so expensive!
What does seven or eight million mean?
In his 20 years of life, the most money Su He had ever seen was the 3,000 yuan that Gu Jianhua brought back from the army. He could not imagine how much money 8 million yuan could be. How much money could a house hold?
Su He was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that since she knew that house prices would be so expensive in the future, could she save money and buy a few houses in big cities when the reform and opening up came?
Right, you have a house to live in now, and the government takes care of it, but you also have to consider your future generations!
Since houses are so valuable in the future, why not save money to buy a few for your children and leave them as an inheritance.
This way, if the children have any difficulties in the future, they will have an inheritance to sell.
Oh, and there are antiques.
I heard that this will be valuable in the afterlife, almost as much as a house.
There is a saying in the book: Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, while gold is valuable in troubled times.
Their era was neither a time of chaos nor a time of prosperity, so both were worthless. In fact, if anyone had these things, they would be criticized.
Su He wanted to exchange some antiques and gold items, but she had no place to put them. Yes, there was no space in her system.
Items purchased from the system mall can be stored, but items purchased from outside cannot.
She asked the system, and learned that mustard seed space can be obtained through lottery, but the probability is not high because mustard seed space is a very high-level thing and their space-time bureau is also in short supply.
Su He was thinking that collecting gold antiques could be put on hold and he could start a side business first.
For example, like the heroine, she sells things on the black market.
Reselling makes money quickly and is very lucrative, so Su He was tempted.
Moreover, she has a natural advantage, the system mall, where the products are more cost-effective than those in the real world, and she doesn’t have to spend money, only points.
There is no cost, so she makes a lot of money!
Her annual goal was not high, just to earn one thousand yuan would be enough. There were still more than ten years to 1978, so she could at least save ten thousand yuan.
They also saved the 3,000 yuan that Gu Jianhua received as a pensioner, and used their monthly salary to cover household expenses. He made more than 40 yuan a month as a police officer, and with her 60, it was more than enough for them.
Su He thought about it all night and decided that if she wanted to do this side job, she couldn't tell anyone and had to do it secretly.
But there was a problem that stumped her. She and Gu Jianhua went to and from get off work together every day, and she didn't have time unless she was on vacation.
I need to think about this matter carefully.
The most important thing now is to find the entrance to the black market. She argued with Gu's mother that the beef was bought on the black market, but in fact she had never been to the black market.
Don't be impatient, she takes it step by step slowly and carefully.
Since she had this idea, Su He would keep an eye on the black market and also asked her colleagues indirectly.
Her colleague’s surname is Lin. She is about the same age as Gu’s second sister, in her thirties. She teaches Chinese. There are five children and two elderly people in her family, a total of nine people.
But only she and her man have jobs.
With so many mouths to feed at home, the food is definitely not enough every month, so I occasionally go to the black market to try my luck.
Teacher Lin whispered, "This thing has no fixed location. In order to avoid inspection, the transaction location will be changed every few days."
"Finding a place like this is all about luck and experience."
