Seeing him like this, Teacher Nie couldn't help but tease him again.
"Teacher Jiang, you are so outstanding, I guess your wife must be outstanding too! What does she do? I will be a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in the future, so I have to move around more. You have to bring her out so that we can get to know her!"
"My wife is very outstanding, at least in my eyes she is the best. There is a long time to come, and we will have the opportunity to get to know each other. However, we just got here not long ago, and she hasn't found a job yet!" Jiang Cong never hesitated to praise Qin Man.
"Then your wife should also be a college student, so it would be easy for her to find a job!" the political teacher interrupted.
"She is not a college student, but she can speak foreign languages!" Jiang Cong replied.
"You can speak foreign languages? That's amazing!" Teacher Nie was shocked when he heard this.
In this day and age, knowing foreign languages is a skill! If you use it well, you can earn as much as college students and skilled workers.
"She can do whatever she wants, as long as she likes it!" Jiang Cong absolutely respects Qin Man's decision.
The next day, after delivering the clothes and settling the bill of twenty yuan, Qin Man also returned her deposit and ID card, and she decided not to continue doing this.
I paid the rent yesterday, and the total including water and electricity is 18 yuan.
I still have a few dozen dollars left for living expenses, which is more than enough to spend.
"It's time to get paid, and today is your day off, so why don't we go out and have some fun?" Qin Man suggested.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. You can go wherever you want to play!" Jiang Cong held her hand and looked at her profile tenderly.
"The landlady said there's a snack street near your city's No. 1 Middle School. There's a lot of delicious food there. Let's go there and take a look!"
"Okay!" Jiang Cong nodded in agreement, and the two went to the snack street hand in hand.
The snack street is located on a street below the department store. It is bustling with people coming and going, and all kinds of small vendors set up stalls here to do business.
There are local snacks, noodles and porridge, small gadgets, fruits, and clothes stalls. You can find everything here.
The department store next door has an even more comprehensive range of products.
Qin Man walked around here, bought some food, and looking at the flow of people here, she thought to herself that if she could set up a stall here to do business, she should be able to make a lot of money.
As long as you can stand out from the crowd of the same old things and come up with something different, your business will definitely be good.
But the rent for this location should be quite high.
So Qin Man pulled Jiang Cong to a stall where a lady was selling pancakes.
"Big sister, give me a pancake with grilled sausage!"
"Okay, it's 1.2 cents for grilled sausage!" said the eldest sister with a smile.
Jiang Cong took out his change and paid for it proactively!
"Sister, how long have you been setting up the stall here?" Qin Man started chatting with her while making pancakes.
"I have been making pancakes for three years. In the past two years, I was wandering around the streets, selling wherever I went, for fear of being chased away by the urban management. Now that I am allowed to set up a stall here, I finally don't have to be afraid!"
"Look at the huge flow of people, it must be making a lot of money!"
"Well, it's just a little money to support my family. It's barely enough to keep from starving or freezing. It's lively here, but the rent is not cheap. I earn that little a month, and use part of it to pay the stall fee, which is just enough for me to eat and live. But I'm satisfied with this small business. At least it's better than my previous life of walking everywhere. It was so tiring, but I still didn't earn as much as here!" the eldest sister sighed with a smile.
"How expensive can the booths here be?" Qin Man continued to probe.
"Look at the area! I only have this little space, but I have to pay 35 yuan a month for rent. A pancake costs 8 cents, and a grilled sausage costs only 1.2 cents. Besides, the business here only opens at 4 pm, and we have to close at 10 pm!"
"Why, girl, you also want to set up a stall here to do business, right?" The eldest sister saw what Qin Man was thinking.
"Ah, I'm just asking!" Qin Man smiled embarrassedly.
Picking up the pancake, Qin Man started thinking while walking on the road. According to what the elder sister said, assuming she sold a pancake for eight cents and sold fifty a day, that would be four yuan a day, which would be one hundred and twenty yuan a month. Excluding the thirty-five yuan rent and the thirty yuan cost, she would make a net profit of fifty-five yuan a month.
She just made a rough estimate. According to the flow of people here, some people might even need to order grilled sausages!
A grilled sausage costs only four cents, and if you add it up fully, you can easily earn sixty or seventy yuan a month, which is much more cost-effective than working part-time!
Jiang Cong's monthly salary is only 55 yuan. If she finds a job, it will be about 40 yuan a month. After deducting the rent and living expenses, she can save 600 yuan in 51 months. Buying an apartment will cost at least tens of thousands!
Even if Jiang Cong passes the period, he will only be sixty years old a month. How many years will it take for her to become a millionaire?
So, working like a slacker is a dead end, she has to start a small business. If she does well in this business, she can buy a building and become a landlady in the future!
