"Who can't make money? Can't you make money too? You sell tea eggs, and you make more money than those who work as formal employees."
She must have gone to the countryside to collect these eggs. The eggs in the supply and marketing cooperative were 5 cents each. She must have gone to the countryside to collect them. She could have gotten 1 cent cheaper, which was 4 cents each. She sold them for 10 cents each. Adding the money she earned from coal and tea, and adding 1 cent as the cost of each egg, she made a net profit of 4 cents.
She had a pot of fifty eggs. Every day when Li Shuping passed by on her way to work, she would see that there were only a few eggs left in the pot, so she should be able to sell them all.
10 pieces are 0.40 cents, 5 pieces are 0.40 cents which is 2 yuan, 2 yuan a day is 60 yuan a month!
This is higher than Lam Kwok Tung's salary. You won't know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked.
Zhou Cuilan was startled. People in this alley looked down on her because she was selling tea eggs at a stall. When they bought her tea eggs, they all acted superior to her, as if they were taking care of her and doing her a favor. This was the first time that someone said that her business made more money than those working in offices.
The secret that I had hidden for so long was actually seen through by her!
From her expression, Li Shuping knew that she didn't want anyone to know that she did this business to make money and just wanted to get rich quietly, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Sister Li, you have a really sharp eye." Zhou Cuilan gave Li Shuping a thumbs up. "Since you've figured it out, I won't hide it from you. Setting up a stall is better than going to work. Just like the entrance of our alley, people won't chase you away if you set up a stall here. There's a lot of people coming and going every morning when I go to work and afternoon shifts, so I basically don't have any eggs left. The only downside is that I can't set up a stall when it rains."
"Don't I need any documents?" Li Shuping asked.
"We are street vendors, not self-employed individuals who open shops to do business. What documents do we need? As long as we don't set up in front of big units and set up in Zhongwang Street, no one will care."
As Zhou Cuilan was talking, she looked at Li Shuping and asked, "Sister Li, you asked so many questions, don't tell me you want to set up a stall, too?"
Li Shuping nodded, "That's the idea, but you can put it aside. I don't know how to sell tea eggs."
Zhou Cuilan smiled and said, "I also know that your sister Li is not the kind of person who would compete with others for business. Selling food is still very profitable now. State-owned restaurants have bad attitudes and bad food, and no one is opening private restaurants. People are tired of eating the food at home, so they want to change their taste."
"I know that the stalls around here that sell fried cakes, pancakes, and spicy soup are all pretty good."
"Are you still selling spicy soup at a stall?" Li Shuping looked surprised.
"It's delicious, only 10 cents a bowl, lots of people go there to eat."
Li Shuping's penis moved violently.
After walking around the town for a while, I took care of Li Shuping and went home to cook lunch.
Aunt Yuan was still sitting by the door sewing her shoes. When she saw Li Shuping, she smiled and greeted her, "Shuping is back."
"Auntie, is the family cooking?"
Aunt Yuan smiled and nodded, "My daughter-in-law is cooking it. Let's eat together at her house at noon."
Chun Bao's mother was picking vegetables in front of her house. When she heard this, she cursed in her heart, "You are so fake."
"No, I still have some millet porridge left over from this morning, I'll just heat it up for lunch. Auntie, can you lend me some soy sauce?"
Aunt Yuan was startled by the question, then smiled and shook her head, "No need, my daughter-in-law went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get a call this morning."
"Yes, then you can return the soy sauce you borrowed from me yesterday. I'll go back and get the bowl now."
The smile on Aunt Yuan's face froze. Was Li Shuping asking her whether she wanted to borrow the soy sauce in order to pave the way for her to return the soy sauce?
The most important thing is that she would actually take the initiative to pay for it herself!
Liu Mingxiang, who had been scolded in the morning, stood at the door of her kitchen and sneered: "They say that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. She lent her some soy sauce and asked her to pay it back. I have never seen such a stingy person."
Li Shuping paused, frowned at Liu Mingxiang and said, "What do you know, young man? As the old saying goes: If you borrow, you can repay. If you borrow, you can repay. If you don't repay, your whole family will die! Am I stingy and reluctant to part with that little bit of soy sauce? I am doing this for the good of Aunt Yuan's family."
Liu Mingxiang: “?”
"Of course, my Aunt Yuan is such a kind old lady. At first glance, she is someone who can accumulate virtue for her grandchildren. She will definitely not take advantage of others or borrow money without paying it back."
"Auntie, do you think I'm right?" Li Shuping looked at Aunt Yuan with a smile, as if waiting for her approval.
The flesh on Aunt Yuan's cheeks twitched wildly, "Yes, yes."
Can she say it's wrong?
She is said to be an immoral old woman who borrowed things and didn't return them until her whole family died, and she didn't even give them to her descendants to accumulate virtue for the future.
She had been taking advantage of others for decades, but she ended up falling for someone who seemed the easiest to take advantage of.
This was a huge blow to Aunt Yuan.
"Pfft..." Chunbao's mother quickly covered her mouth with her hands. She thought that Li Shuping looked gentle and was an easy target to bully, but she didn't expect that she was wrong.
It was the first time for her to see someone make Aunt Yuan, who was so shameless, suffer a setback. It was so satisfying.
Qin Ye stood at the door of his kitchen. This was the first time he saw Grandma Yuan fail to take advantage of him. Grandma Yuan was very good at taking advantage of others. Even someone like him had been taken advantage of before.
Qin Ye's family conditions were the worst in the entire compound. His father was an alcoholic and beat his wife when he was drunk. When Qin Ye was four years old, his mother was finally beaten away.
Not only did Qin Ye's father not restrain himself, he drank even more and beat the child.
He was originally an accountant at a quilt factory. Four years ago, he was fired from the factory because he drank too much and made mistakes in the accounts. At the age of fourteen, Qin Ye also started working odd jobs to support his family and his father.
Qin Ye stretched his head and took a look, and saw an aunt with a gentle and kind face. She looked very similar to the girl he bumped into, especially her eyes. She should be the girl's mother.
Li Shuping brought a bowl, and Aunt Yuan bit her tongue and asked her daughter-in-law Huang Qionghua to bring out the soy sauce.
Huang Qionghua glared at Li Shuping. This was the first time for her family to return something they had borrowed, and it was also the first time for her mother-in-law to borrow money.
Huang Qionghua fell down bit by bit, afraid of falling down too much.
Li Shuping grabbed her hand and poured the water, and half of the bottle of soy sauce was poured out.
"Too much, too much," Huang Qionghua shouted.
Li Shuping pulled back her hand and said, "Not too much, not too much, just right. I bought some new soy sauce yesterday and I only used a little bit myself. You borrowed it and only half a bottle was left. It's just right that you return the half bottle to me."
After saying that, Li Shuping left with half a bowl of soy sauce.
Huang Qionghua and her mother-in-law looked at her back and stamped their feet in anger. What about their soy sauce?
After lunch, Li Shuping took a nap and then went out with a basket and a sickle. Shepherd's purse was fresh at this time, and she wanted to dig some shepherd's purse by the river in the suburbs to make shepherd's purse dumplings tomorrow morning.
The area where they live is full of factories and is close to the suburbs. If they want to eat some wild vegetables, it is convenient to go to the suburbs to dig them up, and it only takes half an hour to walk.
Li Shuping is fine, just walk slowly and consider it as exercise.
After about forty minutes, we arrived at the river. Across the river were green mountains and rice fields.
“What a beautiful view.”
Standing between the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, Li Shuping felt relaxed and at ease.
Regardless of the bad people and bad things in the Lin family, this man is too free and easy.
There were a lot of shepherd's purse by the river, and they were still very tender. Li Shuping dug them along the river bank.
When she dug to a reed, she found something red in the reed, like a red dress.
I’m afraid it was the person who was washing clothes by the river and fell into the river.
The clothes looked pretty good, so Li Shuping, who was used to being frugal, wanted to pick them up and take them home.
She found a long branch, stretched out her hand to hook the red clothes in the reeds, hooked them and pulled hard, and a swollen hand floated out of the water.
"ah--"
The screams that pierced the sky startled the water birds on the river.
