Chapter 058 Mid-Autumn Festival
Rong Mei nodded and then gave Chen Chunlan some analysis.
"Of course it's true. You have good skills. If you set up a stall, your business will definitely be better than that of the stall owner. I'm not exaggerating when I say that you should prepare to use sacks to carry money. Look, in just a short while, the stall owner has sold so many bowls of rice. A bowl costs 40 cents, and the cost is less than 20 cents. This is also including the coal. The profit from adding meat is even higher. At this rate, even if the business is bad, he can at least sell 100 bowls a day. Of course, it is hard work. Look how busy the stall owner is."
In this day and age, it is not difficult to make money by setting up stalls, but one has to be able to endure hardships to make the money. Not only do you have to get up early and go to bed late, but you also have to endure the wind and rain.
Of course, you also have to endure the ridicule and strange looks from others.
Chen Chunlan shook her head vigorously after hearing this, and the muscles on her face trembled slightly with excitement. "I am not afraid of hardship. No matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as growing crops at home. Besides, as long as I can make money, I don't care about the hardship."
While listening to Rong Mei's words, Chen Chunlan was also silently calculating in her mind. Even if she made 1 cent per bowl, she would still make 10 yuan a day. Moreover, the profit could reach 2 cents. If she could sell 200 bowls a day, how much money would she make in this month!
Just thinking about it made her so excited that she could hardly speak.
I don’t even have the appetite to eat noodles.
He looked at Rong Mei anxiously, "Sister, can we go back later? I want to go to the market and take a look at the boilers and stoves, as well as the bowls and basins."
"Okay, no problem." Rong Mei agreed with a smile.
Seeing Chen Chunlan's style of doing things as soon as she says it, Rong Mei feels that she can get rich by setting up stalls, and who knows, she may have even greater luck in the future.
In her opinion, being hesitant and thinking of ten thousand perfect plans is not as good as taking action once and for all...
On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Rong Mei took the lead in organizing dozens of military wives in the compound to go to the military camp early.
The soldiers in the kitchen squad were also driven out of the canteen to take a day off, and the original canteen was directly requisitioned by the sisters-in-law.
Dozens of military wives were chatting and laughing, some were washing, picking, and cutting vegetables, cooking dishes from their hometowns.
The whole scene was lively and harmonious.
It was a bit tiring, but seeing the soldiers wolfing down the food, some even with tears in their eyes, the sisters-in-law felt that it was all worth it!
Not long after lunch.
The art troupe brought several large Dongfeng trucks with covered carriages, and the front camp sent many soldiers to help carry things and build the stage in preparation for tonight's art performance.
It is said that three women make a play.
There are so many people in the art troupe, but Rong Mei only knows Kang Xiangtong, Cui Mengmeng, Shi Jing, and Guan Chanjuan.
What a coincidence.
This time, all of them are in the performance lineup.
Two dancers, one singer, and one in a band.
As soon as Kang Xiangtong arrived, she was looking for Rong Mei.
“Rongrong, Rongrong!”
Rong Mei, who was learning to make dumplings in the cafeteria:........
Chen Chunlan, who was sitting next to Rong Mei, knew Kang Xiangtong. She was wrapping dumplings in her hands and greeted people with a smile, "It's Sister Kang who's here."
"Hello, Sister Chunlan." Kang Xiangtong responded with a polite smile.
Then he turned his gaze to Rong Mei's hands, and laughed as he looked at the crooked dumpling skin that Rong Mei had pinched.
"Rongrong, what are you packing?"
She finally understood why it was Deputy Captain Zhou who cooked. As for Rong Mei's cooking skills... it's hard to describe.
Rong Mei didn't feel ashamed at all and answered as a matter of course, "Of course it's dumplings."
Kang Xiangtong pointed at the "unknown object" in Rong Mei's hand with a smile, "But dumplings should have wrinkles and be flat, why is yours round? It looks like a steamed bun, but it doesn't look like a steamed bun."
Rong Mei kept moving her hands, but appeared calm as she said, "If I say it's a dumpling, then it's a dumpling. It doesn't matter what the dumpling skin is or what the filling is. You're just going to eat it anyway, so don't worry too much about the little details like the appearance."
In my mind: This damn hand, why is it so uncontrollable, it can’t even pinch a piece of skin properly!!!
Chen Chunlan was laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "Haha, I don't know who will be lucky enough to eat what Rong Meizi prepared."
Finally she found something that Rong Mei can't do.
"I'll eat it, I'll eat it, Rongrong, please save some for me later, I'll eat it, I'm so lucky!"
Kang Xiangtong was very supportive. Since they had to set up the stage in advance and do a rough rehearsal, their art troupe would also have dinner here with everyone in the evening.
Rong Mei's mouth twitched, "Okay, then I wish you will be lucky enough to eat all of these I packed."
Thinking that she had something serious to discuss with someone, Kang Xiangtong stopped playing around, looked around, covered her hands with her hands, and leaned close to Rong Mei's ear to ask.
"Rongrong, where is your deputy head Zhou?"
Rong Mei stopped what she was doing and glanced at Kang Xiangtong suspiciously. "What's wrong? Do you have something to do with him?"
"No, no." Kang Xiangtong was shocked by Rong Mei's eyes and shook her head and waved her hands.
Afraid that Rong Mei might misunderstand him, he quickly said, "Cui Mengmeng is here today, too."
She came just to tip off Rong Mei. If she could come to find Rong Mei, maybe Cui Mengmeng could go to find Zhou Nanxu privately.
As a good sister, how could she watch her good sister's man have the opportunity to get along with another woman?
She saw that Cui Mengmeng's eyes were always busy as soon as she entered the camp. She looked here and there, and it was obvious that she was looking for someone.
Maybe others didn't notice.
But she is different. She has been paying attention to Cui Mengmeng's every move.
"Isn't it normal for her to come?" Rong Mei withdrew her gaze and didn't take it to heart at all.
Seeing Rong Mei's indifferent attitude, Kang Xiangtong's eyes widened and she spoke anxiously in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that she will go to Deputy Head Zhou?"
Rong Mei's face remained expressionless, "Zhou Nanxu doesn't like her."
In Kang Xiangtong's opinion, he is still so confident.
Kang Xiangtong thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
Rongrong is so outstanding and beautiful, so Deputy Captain Zhou must be quite capable.
She was worrying for nothing.
I immediately felt relieved and was planning to join in the fun and order two.
Just after washing my hands, I saw Cui Mengmeng walking straight into the cafeteria.
Cui Mengmeng was indeed looking for someone.
But he was not looking for Zhou Nanxu, but Rong Mei...
