Chapter 106 The Poor Household in the Yard



Three days later.

Liu Xiaojun slept until noon.

In the past two days, he hired a guy who was specifically responsible for collecting money. After observing him for two days, he found that the guy was honest and had no bad intentions, so he felt relieved.

This roast rabbit shop has people collecting money, people taking care of tea and hygiene, and people specifically in charge of roasting rabbits. There is no need for him as the shopkeeper anymore.

He can now quietly be his hands-off boss and think about more profound things.

This roast rabbit shop can now operate normally, but if it wants to open a chain store, the first thing is to ensure the source of ingredients.

At present, a roast rabbit shop consumes ninety to one hundred roast rabbits a day, and there are never enough rabbits to feed.

We have to find a way to find someone who specializes in raising rabbits.

While thinking, I took my toothbrush to the middle courtyard to wash up, and saw Grandma Liu in the backyard walking back with her grandson after washing up.

Look at how skinny they both are. It seems they often don't have enough to eat.

Liu Xiaojun remembered that when he was investigating the "rabbit stealing" case in the courtyard, he found Grandma Liu and her adopted grandson making matchboxes.

Making matchboxes is a benefit only available to low-income households. Grandma Liu and her grandson can probably earn five yuan a month from making matchboxes, which is barely enough to make ends meet.

Before, when Liu Xiaojun's family was not able to eat enough, Grandma Liu gave them a piece of sweet potato.

Although a piece of sweet potato is not very useful, it is the best thing that Grandma Liu, who herself cannot afford to eat, can come up with.

Now that I'm doing well, I'd better let Grandma Liu help me if she can.

Besides, I can’t say I’m helping you.

He hired people to raise rabbits and paid them 12 yuan per month as apprentices. This not only solved the food problem for the two of them, but also solved the problem of rabbit shortage. It was a win-win situation.

Liu Xiaojun brushed his teeth and went to the small kitchen to eat the breakfast that Liu Huizhen had left for him. After he was full, he went to Grandma Liu's house.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Grandma Liu opened the door.

"Xiaojun, why is it you? I heard from the neighbors that you opened a roast rabbit shop at the foot of Zhengyangmen. It's so impressive. Your family is living a good life now, and your mother has finally made it through." The old man smiled innocently.

It's just that there are so many good people these days. Even though our own families can't get enough to eat, we sincerely wish other families well when we see them doing well.

Liu Xiaojun looked at Grandma Liu and the little boy Liu Xiaolong who was holding rice porridge behind her.

"Nanny Liu, what is Xiaolong holding in his hand?"

Grandma Liu: "It's windy outside, come in and have a cup of hot water first."

Liu Xiaojun originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the old man's enthusiasm.

When the warm water arrived, Grandma Liu explained.

"This is the rice paste filled with paper bags from the He Supply and Marketing Cooperative. This one is for salt, and the other one is for sugar."

When Liu Xiaojun heard this, it seemed that this was another kind of work benefit that low-income households could receive.

"How much can you and Xiaolong earn each month just from these handicrafts?"

Grandma Liu shook her head and said helplessly:

"What kind of money can I make? This can only ensure that I don't starve to death."

"A paper bag that holds one jin costs 2.5 cents. If Xiaolong and I work hard, we can earn three or five yuan a month, which is just enough to buy cornmeal."

Liu Xiaojun: "Grandma Liu, my roasted rabbit shop needs to expand, but I don't have enough rabbits at home and I need two people to take care of them. I'd like to ask you and Xiaolong to help me raise the rabbits. I'll pay you and Xiaolong a total of 15 yuan a month. Would you like to go?"

Grandma Liu waved her hand: "Fifteen yuan is too much. I'm an old man, and Xiaolong is just a kid. What does he know?"

Grandma Liu insisted that fifteen yuan was too much, and after some haggling, they finally settled on twelve yuan per month.

After sending Liu Xiaojun away, Grandma Liu turned to Xiaolong and said.

"Xiaolong, this Brother Xiaojun is a good man. He didn't look for a capable young woman in the whole hospital, but instead found our family of old, weak and disabled people. You must remember this kindness in your heart, okay?"

Xiaolong is ten years old this year and is old enough to remember things. He nodded as if he understood.

I dipped my finger into the paste in the bowl beside me and took a bite. It was strangely sweet.

Grandma Liu looked down and immediately patted Xiaolong on the back of his head.

"You little bastard, you only know how to eat sticky things. You've already eaten all the sticky things that the supply and marketing cooperative used to stick to paper bags!"

Nowadays, the rice paste used to dip paper bags is all made of rice slurry. It does not require any technology or hard work, and you can eat it directly.

The next day.

Grandma Liu took her grandson to the surrounding area early in the morning to cut grass for the rabbits to eat. When Liu Xiaojun woke up, the two were already waiting at the door.

Looking at the backpacks behind Grandma Liu and Xiaolong, Liu Xiaojun nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

He took the two of them to the backyard and explained some important matters about raising rabbits, then left the backyard to them.

I rode a 28-inch bicycle to the store.

Before entering the store, I could see diners queuing from a distance, and the aroma coming from the roast rabbit shop became more and more fragrant.

It seems that I chose the right person to give the task of roasting the rabbit to my uncle. When I got closer and saw that the roasted rabbit just out of the oven was basically the same as the one I roasted myself, I felt relieved.

"Uncle, starting tomorrow, the store will only sell a maximum of sixty roast rabbits a day. During this time, please breed more rabbits at home, otherwise there will be no rabbits to supply."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Wenwu wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief before saying, "It's really hot next to the oven."

After explaining everything he needed to, Liu Xiaojun walked back.

Now the business of the roast rabbit shop can basically keep his income stable at around 1,000 yuan per day. If he opens ten similar roast rabbit shops at the gates of different blocks, the daily revenue will exceed 10,000 yuan.

Since he came to the 1950s, he must have made a career and contributed to the development of the country.

Liu Xiaojun plans to use the money he earns from the roast rabbit shop to open a radio electronics factory. Coming from the future and at the forefront of the times, he knows that radios are not widely used at home and abroad, and this is also an opportunity.

If I can make the radio first and then export it abroad, I can make money and generate foreign exchange for the country, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking about this, Liu Xiaojun decided to implement the next plan first and expand the roast rabbit shop.

However, this plan still needs to be discussed with the street office. After all, this is the era of public-private partnership, and it is safest to link everything with the official authorities.

Just go.

Liu Xiaojun rode his 28-inch bicycle towards the street.

at the same time.

Xu Damao's home.

Xu Damao has been avoiding going to work by everyone in the compound for many days.

There was no way, he knew the miserable state Jia Dongxu had been interrogated by the aunties after he came back from the cell last time.

If he were to encounter it, he would be scolded all the time, just like Sun Wukong encountering Tang Monk's golden hoop.

As soon as I stepped out of the door with my left foot, I saw Second Aunt coming out from the opposite side with a basket of vegetables.

Just as I was about to hide, I was caught by the second aunt:

"Xu Damao, what are you hiding from?"
