When Zhao Xiaohong saw someone, she immediately asked for help: "Master, I am running out of oysters and river shrimps. Can you buy some for me?"
Lin Qin rode away on his bicycle without saying a word.
The seafood wholesale store was not far from here and there were people inside the store at the moment. As soon as she got there, she told Lin Shaojun about the situation.
Lin Shaojun immediately took out six bags of oysters. "Are these six pounds enough? I still have eight pounds of river shrimps. They were originally intended for Guoxing Restaurant. You can take them first. I'll tell Brother Wenjun later."
Lin Qin nodded, "Then pack them all up for me and keep a record of them first."
When the things were delivered to Zhao Xiaohong, she immediately took the bucket and went to borrow water. Fortunately, she had brought out flour and sweet potato flour.
Lin Qin helped her watch the stall while she went to the side to mix the ingredients.
It took a lot of frantic work to mix the batter.
They started frying shrimp cakes and oyster cakes. The aroma spread far away instantly and the stall’s business became better and better.
Lin Qin had agreed to help and there was no reason for her to leave halfway, so the help lasted until after three in the afternoon.
Everything is sold out.
Lin Qin asked: "How are you going to get back now? Call a tricycle to take you there?"
Zhao Xiaohong said embarrassedly: "My second brother rides a tricycle. I'll wait and see. If he comes here, I'll ask him to take me back. If not, I'll wait a little longer. He'll come to pick me up around five o'clock."
Lin Qin looked at the sky and twitched her lips. "You'll have to wait a long time. I'll go to the seafood store and ask Shaojun to ride an electric tricycle to help you. We have an unused cart at home that you can borrow to set up your stall. Come find me in Nanxi later."
"Master, you have helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you!" Zhao Xiaohong's eyes were filled with tears.
Lin Qin didn't care, "You already call me Master, so what if I help you a little? It's too formal!"
After Lin Qin left, Zhao Xiaohong quickly packed up her things.
After a while, Lin Shaojun came. With his help, the problem that was bothering Zhao Xiaohong was solved. Moreover, the electric tricycle was effortless and fast to run, and it arrived at her place in the blink of an eye.
Lin Shaojun looked at the narrow and cramped rental house in front of him, asked a few more questions, and almost knew Zhao Xiaohong's situation.
Because she made money, Zhao Xiaohong gave the money for the oysters and river shrimps to Lin Shaojun on the spot.
After Lin Shaojun left, she first calculated the money she had earned that day and wrote down the figures carefully on paper. Since she could barely read, only she could understand the accounts she kept.
After a careful calculation, she found that she had earned more than 15 yuan in one day by setting up the stall. She was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
He quickly hid the money, took out a little bit of it and went to Nanxi to find Lin Qin to rent a cart.
At her insistence, Lin Qin charged her three dollars and rented the cart to her for six days.
In the evening, when Zhao Xiaohong's brothers and sisters came home from get off work, they were all shocked to learn that she had earned more than 15 yuan a day by setting up the stall.
It was not until they saw the money with their own eyes and heard Zhao Xiaohong vividly describe her experience of setting up a stall today that the three of them gradually accepted the fact.
Zhao Weiguo was very happy. "Little sister, you are luckier than us. You have a noble person to help you. Work hard and save up your own dowry first."
Zhao Xiaohong stopped smiling and said through gritted teeth, "Brother, why don't you guys set up a stall with me? I only make 15 yuan a day, which means several hundred yuan a month!"
Zhao Weijia laughed and said, "Do you think setting up a stall is so profitable? You just happened to be there during the National Day. If it were any other time, you definitely wouldn't make as much money. Plus, you can't set up a stall when it's windy or rainy. If you calculate it over the whole year, you may not make as much as working for others. Don't get carried away and give up your good job at the nursery to set up a stall!"
Zhao Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly, "Second brother is right, you must not lose your job at the nursery."
That job was the most respectable one among the four siblings, with a high salary, and it was really hard to find one even with a lantern. Most importantly, they still owed favors to their relatives, so they couldn't just quit the job.
Zhao Xiaohong nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job on that job. I just want to balance it. For example, the afternoon snack at the nursery is scheduled at three o'clock, and I can usually get off work at three-thirty. I will set up the stall now and close it around seven in the evening. I should be able to make a little money by setting up a stall in the city center for two hours. In the morning, I go to work at seven-thirty, set up the stall around five, and close it a little after seven, or let my third sister set up the stall.
She doesn't go to work until 10 a.m., and my third sister will set up the stall until 9:30 a.m., and she can keep the money she earns. Isn't that good?"
Zhao Xiaoqing and the other two looked at each other. After a while, Zhao Weiguo nodded and said, "If you can take care of both, I have no objection."
Zhao Weijia also expressed his opinion, "In this case, I will pick you up at night, it will be safer."
Zhao Xiaoqing had even less objection.
Because it was still the National Day holiday, Zhao Xiaohong set up her own stall. Zhao Xiaoqing would go to help for a while in the morning. He witnessed the booming business with his own eyes and had a different perspective on making money by setting up a stall.
In just seven days during the National Day holiday, Zhao Xiaohong earned more than a hundred yuan from setting up a stall, which gave everyone a lot of confidence.
However, business has obviously slowed down a lot after the National Day.
Zhao Xiaohong thought about it and decided to set up a stall at the vegetable market in the morning and then go to Friendship Square in the evening.
It's no wonder that after moving to a new location, business picked up. On average, she could earn more than two yuan in the morning. If Zhao Xiaoqing set up the stall for a longer time and caught up with other people at work, she could make more, usually three yuan.
I can earn an average of three yuan a day by setting up a stall in the evening.
At the end of the month, Zhao Xiaohong can earn an extra 160 yuan without affecting her work at the daycare center.
Zhao Xiaoqing also saved an extra eighty or ninety yuan, which was not a small sum of money for her.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohong did not forget her main job while setting up the stall to make money, and that she continued to care about the children's food as always, Lin Qin nodded secretly in her heart and attended class peacefully.
Winter vacation is here in a blink of an eye.
Teacher Su found a bunch of materials for Lin Qin in advance and said seriously, "You have been taking classes for two years and your foundation is very solid. Don't slack off during this winter vacation. Finish these papers well. I will grade them for you when school starts. You must pass the college entrance examination next year!"
Lin Qin nodded resolutely, "Teacher Su, I will not let you down."
After Teacher Su left with satisfaction, Lin Qin's shoulders collapsed. She quickly packed up her things and went to the daycare center to pick up her child, passing by Sister Fang's workstation.
Sister Fang called her, "Wait a minute, girl. I have something for you."
"What's this?" Lin Qin walked over curiously and found that it was two sets of baby clothes given by Sister Fang. She immediately shook her head and refused to accept them. "Why are you spending so much money?"
Sister Fang scolded, "Don't think I don't know that you helped Xiaohong to set up a stall to make money! Those children are also filial and sensible. As soon as they made money, they came to pay me back eagerly and bought me a lot of things, saying that they wanted to thank me for taking care of them.
I feel guilty, but seeing that their lives are much better, I am happy. We will not see each other again until next year after this holiday. This is a little gift from me. I will be unhappy if you don't accept it!" (End of this chapter)
