"Even though I'm tired, grandma is happy." Chen Xiaoying was very happy and quickly divided the money: "It's agreed, half for each of us."
Liu Lanxiang felt a little embarrassed and looked at Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei opened his mouth and said, "Mom, take them all. I don't want them."
Liu Lanxiang's face almost fell.
Chen Xiaoying immediately said, "What kind of words can you say to make Lanxiang work in vain? She will have to work for a long time in the future."
Then he pushed the money to Li Yutong: "You give it to your mother."
She knew that the couple were shy and too embarrassed to ask for it directly.
Li Yutong counted out her mother's half and pushed it over: "Mom, save it and don't spend it carelessly."
"Do I ask you to teach me?" Liu Lanxiang said, smiling and went to get the money.
However, Li Yutong did not let go, and pulled her back, looking at her breasts.
Her grandmother, Chen Xiaoying, also looked at her.
"Grandma, do you want to keep selling sesame cakes to make money?"
“Too tired.”
There are many steps to follow, the food cooks slowly but cools quickly.
Chen Xiaoying had a better idea in her mind and asked tentatively: "Then what else can we sell?"
"Selling egg-filled pancakes? Selling buns?" Li Yutong tested her grandmother Chen Xiaoying.
Liu Lanxiang frowned: "Can it be done? Can your grandma do it?"
Anyway, the sesame seed cakes are really delicious, but the buns made by her mother-in-law are just average.
Li Hongwei glared at Li Yutong: "What do you know, little kid?"
Meddle in adults' affairs.
"Egg-filled pancakes, what's that?"
Li Yutong then started to talk about why selling these two items made more money than selling sesame cakes.
"Shaobing has to be kneaded and baked. It takes a certain amount of time to cook. When it is most delicious, people may not buy it. When it cools down, people will not want to buy it. They will definitely wait for you to bake the next batch and eat the freshly baked ones."
"If we leave these sesame cakes alone, no one will want them. So, shouldn't we bring the remaining sesame cakes back?"
She looked back and saw a dozen dry and cold sesame cakes on the table.
This is because Liu Lanxiang is thoughtful. Sometimes when she sees that there are few people around, she puts it back into the oven made of iron barrel to keep it warm. That’s why only this much is left. Otherwise, there would be more left.
"What you said makes sense, but how do you make egg-filled pancakes?" Chen Xiaoying asked.
Li Yutong just mentioned that all the food is made and sold immediately, and does not need to be made in advance like sesame seed cakes, and the flour used is also much less than sesame seed cakes.
As she spoke, Chen Xiaoying understood. Her eldest granddaughter, Li Yutong, had also returned. She didn't know why such a miraculous thing happened to two people in her Li family.
The eldest granddaughter Li Yutong used to take care of the children at home. She had nothing to do, so she carried the children on her back and sold egg-filled pancakes, spicy hot pot, and buns, and her business was successful.
It's just hard work.
Why do you do so much? Business is obviously good, so why can't you keep it for long?
I learned from her parents that her aunt on her husband's side was having a hard time, and her mother-in-law wanted to help, so while she was working, she said that the job should be given to her aunt or brother-in-law, and her husband didn't say a word.
She had no choice.
That's why we always give the ready-made stalls to others.
The eldest granddaughter's marriage ended in divorce in the end. She did not remarry. She took her daughter, who was not wanted by her husband's family, and finally opened a chain of hot pot shops. The daughter was also a hardworking person. She studied for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree and became a doctor. The son-in-law they found for her was also a doctor.
Moreover, her family is a medical family and they are nice people. Because her biological mother died early, the son-in-law himself doesn't want to have much contact with his stepmother. Li Yutong usually helps take care of her granddaughter, and the nanny does the cooking.
If you are not worried about others looking after the children, there are nannies who can take care of the children.
As long as you have money, you can enjoy it.
She was relatively satisfied with the ending of her eldest granddaughter, but it was all due to her efforts. The ten years she spent at her husband's house were the most difficult, and she was almost depressed because of it.
"Okay, then we'll sell egg-filled pancakes and spicy hot pot." Chen Xiaoying made the final decision.
Of course it will work.
"It's too fast. People always think the best is right. Who would buy egg-filled pancakes or spicy hot pot?" Li Hongwei objected.
Liu Lanxiang also objected: "I've never heard of it."
Chen Xiaoying just looked at Li Yutong.
Li Yutong said: "It's just a temporary plan. I'll start by selling sesame cakes. When I make enough money, I'll rent a storefront in the county town, or even buy one. Then I can do this for a long time. Not only will I not have to work in the sun, but I'll also have income every day."
"Where did you hear these things? You're just kidding me." Li Hongwei glared at Li Yutong: "You still want to buy a storefront. How dare you think of this when you have so little money?"
Li Yutong was usually very afraid of her father's glaring. When he glared at her, she would get scared and wouldn't dare to speak even when she was standing there.
But today, she is not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "The county town is far away from us, but even if we don't ride a bicycle, we can walk on our own, step by step, and get there sooner or later."
"We sell sesame cakes first. When we have enough money, we can buy a storefront. If we can't buy one, we can rent one and sell breakfast. For breakfast, we can sell steamed buns and egg-filled pancakes. When we have enough money, we can look for opportunities in the county town to do other things."
"Then where do you live?" Liu Lanxiang couldn't help asking.
Li Yutong said: "Leave one or two people to stay in the storefront at night, and the others will ride bicycles back during the day."
Now the national policy is good, there is a cement road starting from the entrance of the village, it is flat all the way, and it takes no more than half an hour to ride a bike to the county town.
When Liu Lanxiang heard this, she also thought it was feasible.
Chen Xiaoying was so excited that she wiped away tears without waiting for her son and daughter-in-law to object. She said, "My Xiaoyu is really amazing. She knows so much at such a young age."
"Xiao Yu is right. Li Heiniu in our village is a man who is daring and has even bought a collective housing unit in the city."
When we say we bought a collective-funded building, it is actually a building built with funds raised by the unit, and we bought one of the rooms in it, not the entire building.
This is enough to make the villagers envious, and they say that they have become city dwellers.
Why do villagers envy city people? Because city people look energetic, clean, have easy work, and earn more than villagers who dig in the dirt all day long. Most of them do not have tiring jobs.
How could the villagers not be envious?
Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang both thought of Li Heiniu at the same time.
Speaking of Hei Niu, of course, he is not called Hei Niu, this is a nickname.
His name is Li Genwang.
"How can I compare with them? They are all engineers." Li Hongwei never dared to think that he could become someone like Li Genwang.
Liu Lanxiang is from this village and also knows the story of Li Genwang's rise to wealth.
Li Genwang was the first prominent figure in Lijia Village.
In the early years, he was the first person in the village who dared to "speculate and profiteer". Later, when good policies came, he was the first group of people to find jobs in the county town with his two sons.
After working in several industries, he didn't make any money. Later, he worked as a laborer for a builder. After a few years, he learned everything and got to know a lot of people. He boldly organized a work team, pooled money together to take on the work, and then shared the profits among everyone.
Now, most of the relatives who work with him have houses in the county town.
Li Yutong was thinking that when Li Genwang was at his most successful, he built a residential complex with ten buildings. This was an extremely, extremely, extremely successful achievement for someone who started out as a farmer with no background and had worked his way up to this level entirely with his limited knowledge.
When she got married, housing prices in the county town were skyrocketing because the province had strongly supported the county and the city had been changed. A 30- or 40-story apartment with an elevator was selling for 9,800 yuan per square meter.
