Chapter 288: Big Pie
"How's the grocery business?"
Zhang Jing looked at Luo Hui and asked. She didn't care about it before, but now that she has her own shares in it, Zhang Jing will naturally ask about it.
"Business is very good. We sold more than 20 skirts and more than 10 pairs of sandals on the first day. As for other products, Aunt Zhao often goes to get them to replenish them."
Luo Hui nodded and said.
Although Wang Chunyan has a childlike personality, she is very smart when it comes to helping Zhao Dajiang do business. She knows where each item is placed and the price of the goods.
The food was average but always cooked through. Sometimes I forgot to add salt, and sometimes I didn’t add seasoning.
Wang Chunyan prepared both meals today because the grocery store was too busy.
However, she did not say these things. After all, it was enough to eat cooked food. The main purpose was to fill her stomach. At home, she often only ate until 80% full at this time, because the crops in the fields were not yet mature, and the crops from last year's autumn harvest had to be saved until the autumn harvest.
Apart from the fact that the food at Zhao Yi's house is more delicious, the food at home tastes like this too.
There are basically no condiments in the countryside. Most of the seasonings are salt, or onions, ginger, and garlic grown in the fields. The taste is only good when someone is holding a banquet.
The most delicious things I have ever eaten, apart from those in the city, are the fruits in the yard of a house in the village that are ripe, which a few friends would pick and eat when others are at work and no one is home.
"Your clothes are a bit indecent, so don't wear them to the store tomorrow. Try this dress, and I don't really like this skirt."
Zhang Jing took out the Dacron shirt that someone else had given her, and the two skirts that Zhao Yi had brought from Shenzhen. She really didn't like these clothes. The clothes she wore were either bought and sent by Su Hong, or made by herself.
Luo Hui was a little hesitant to reach out to take it.
"Take it if you give it to me. You should dress up a little girl."
Zhang Jing smiled and handed the altered clothes to Luo Hui. She had worked in the garment factory for so many years that she could basically tell the size of the person's clothes at a glance. Plus, their body shapes were similar, so there wasn't much room for alteration.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Luo Hui was somewhat touched.
What money the family had was spent on her older brother or younger brother. She seldom had new clothes to wear. Most of the clothes she wore were her mother's old clothes that she had altered after she bought new ones.
These clothes and skirts looked almost new, and she was still a little uncomfortable with it.
As for Li Baoyu and the others across the street, they had already achieved financial freedom. Whenever they bought the cloth they liked, they would ask Wang Fang to help make it. They would just tell her what style they wanted. Although Wang Fang was not a formal garment factory worker, the styles she made were almost always similar.
Luo Hui hurriedly took a shower and changed into a skirt. She put her clothes into the washing machine and stood shyly beside it.
"My second brother and his wife still disagree."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"Hey, these two are the same. They don't want to do good business and insist on being workers."
Zhao Yi said helplessly.
"Who cares? If they don't want the money, we'll help save it and buy them a house in the city later."
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said.
"Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Zhao Yi nodded.
No matter what others do, they all want to stand out, but they just want to keep to themselves.
"I will go over to the factory tomorrow to take over. Boss, are you sure you want to continue this business?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and asked seriously.
Although she spoke toughly to Li Fang and the others, Zhang Jing was still a little worried.
"Can you spend all the money you have in your pocket now?"
Zhao Yi did not explain but asked back.
Now, if the family uses the income to sell all the goods, there will be more than 100,000 yuan in savings. Zhang Jing feels a little dizzy now. When they got married, they couldn't even take out 20 yuan, and they never thought that one day they would have so much money in their pockets.
"You haven't seen the special economic zones in Shenzhen. Private individuals can set up factories now. The products they produce are very popular in the market. Maybe one day our city will also be able to set up private factories. By then, you will be the factory manager and have the final say."
Zhao Yi smiled and painted a big picture for Zhang Jing.
"That's right. If we don't allow business, what will happen to the many foreign guests who come to cities like Shenshan Mountain and invest so much money?"
Zhang Jing thought about it and nodded.
As for the idea of starting a factory and becoming a factory director, it was just something she thought about; Zhang Jing didn't dare to take it seriously.
Zhang Jing took Luo Hui to the restaurant to watch TV. At this time, Chen Yan had also finished a day's work on electronic watches. He sold three watches and earned fifteen yuan.
"Brother Yi, how can people change so much?"
Chen Yan looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
Ever since Zhao Yan settled down here, Chen Yan has basically been running between the city and Xiongjia Village. As for the Linkou Commune, he has completely handed it over to his father-in-law's family.
As for the question Chen Yan asked, Zhao Yi knew who he was talking about: Fan Chao and his group who had wanted to force him to borrow money.
“People look at things from two sides. What you see is not necessarily the truth. Everyone looks at things from different perspectives. For example, if they don’t have a job and want to make money, how can they do that without a job?
When there is hope and motivation, who would be willing to do something that is uncertain? ”
Although Zhao Yi didn't like them very much, these people were just young and ignorant. If they made mistakes at this age, they would have to pay for it themselves. Of course, it would be best if they could get back on the right track.
If he had continued like this, by 1983 he might have had to go to labor reform for who knows how many years.
Chen Yan didn't quite understand what Zhao Yi meant by the duality.
"What does Brother Yi's duality mean?"
Chen Yan looked at Zhao Yi curiously and asked.
Zhao Yi was quite optimistic about Chen Yan as he could eat his game every now and then. Although he sold electronic watches in the city, he did not lose business in Xiongjia Village. He would always keep a few pounds of game and send it to Zhao Yi instead of selling it to restaurants. He did not eat with Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing, but ate alone in the restaurant across the street. I never thought of taking advantage of Zhao Yi's family.
Zhao Yan's food rations were all carried by him from Chenjia Village.
“Two-sidedness means that you can’t look at a problem from only your own perspective.”
Zhao Yi explained.
However, Zhao Yi still doesn't like these young people. Sometimes they are really fearless, but once they make a mistake, it is too late to regret.
Patting Chen Yan on the shoulder, Zhao Yi didn't say anything else.
"Brother Yi, I try not to associate with them."
Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't like those people, Chen Yan looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"Just don't follow them and do something stupid."
Zhao Yi did not pay attention to this matter. He only had business dealings with those people and did not have any friendship with them.
