Seeing that they came back so quickly, Hua Zhao knew that their business was good today.

"Is anyone looking for trouble? What are the reactions of other vendors?" Hua Zhao is still most concerned about this.

"No, everything is fine." Zhang Guilan said with some worry: "Only one vendor came to buy a cup of melon seeds, and then they all gathered together and muttered, not knowing what to say. Later there were several vendors

Come to me and buy a lot of melon seeds."

"It's okay, they won't do anything, and we haven't taken much of the market from them." Hua Zhao said, "If they come again, tell them that the melon seeds you produce will be gone when they are sold out. I wish them a prosperous business."

Those hawkers cannot be farmers from the countryside who come to the city to make extra money. They can only be unemployed people in the city who do this professionally.

They work all year round, but they only sell it for a month or two, so there is not much conflict.

With Hua Zhao's guidance, Zhang Guilan felt more at ease and happily counted money with her children.

It's been 1976. Although not all educated youth have returned to the city, those with connections have returned. However, there are not so many jobs arranged for them, so they can only stay at home.

Now that the policy has been loosened, there will be more small businesses and hawkers on the streets.

Ye Shu was so excited when he saw it: "Why is it so easy to make money?" She never knew.

This is different from Hua Zhao making a lot of money digging ginseng. That one is rare, and there are few people in China who make a fortune from ginseng like her.

Today she carried 20 kilograms of melon seeds on her back. Each of her three children weighed 5 kilograms, which equals 15 kilograms. However, some of them were used during the trial. After all, some people have not bought them. You have to try them before buying.

At last count, the total was 165 yuan. Adding in the 75 during the day, I made 240 yuan today.

In the past, she had never thought that a hawker could make money like this.

Ye Shu was still stunned in amazement, but Zhang Guilan had already left the money with Hua Zhao and took the children home to sleep.

But selling melon seeds is different. Anyone can sell it, even children.

Although it is said that Huazhao's melon seeds are good and expensive, just look at other people who sell them for 25 cents. I heard that their business is also good and they sell more than Zhang Guilan. If the income is divided by 2, they also make more than 100 a day.

That’s more than 3,000 a month!

What kind of family would live in such a big yard? Most thieves can't afford to offend it.

Hua Zhao put all the money in a special wooden box and said, "Yes, the money now is really good."

In her alley, there were only a few single-family houses, and the rest were large courtyards, with many people and idle people. She was afraid. But she felt relieved if she left them here with Hua Zhao.

The people living in this alley are different. People around them also know who lives here. If a thief comes and doesn't know the truth, he will be frightened when he enters the yard.

But now, as long as you dare to do something, there is money everywhere, you can pick it up at will.

But there are too few people who dare. Firstly, they are afraid of being caught, and secondly, they are afraid of being embarrassed.

This is a golden age, and it is already beginning to take shape.

After a few decades, it would be a dream for mobile vendors to sell melon seeds and earn what others earn in seven or eight years in a month.

...

In the next few days, with Ye Shu's around-the-clock company, Zhang Guilan felt relieved. She went to the train station and the movie theater every day, making a lot of money.

Some people know how to make money, but they won't give up their jobs that barely make ends meet and go out to set up stalls. They can't afford to lose that person.

Maybe it’s because of the humble thinking of businessmen that has been passed down for thousands of years, or maybe because the crackdown on the private economy was too harsh in the past. People think that small businessmen and self-employed people are a very shameful profession. Only those who have no other choice will do it.

But she can sell 30 kilograms in a day. At night, she and her children can sell a total of 50 kilograms, or 80 kilograms in a day.

Hua Zhao took a look and thought, this can't work. The melon seeds at home will be sold out in ten days! She has to start working on new things.

She also felt the joy of picking up money and couldn't stop at all.

The market at the train station is still so tepid because there are no old customers and almost all the customers are new every day.

Does she know how profitable melon seeds are? The melon seeds produced by her family have no value.

The two came to the overseas Chinese store.

Zhang Guilan came to urge me. She thought that the melon seeds were about to be sold out, which made her feel pain and happiness. She was so happy to make money every day, but it was so sad that she would no longer make any money soon.

Hua Zhao took Ye Shu to go shopping. She was very curious about what new way to make money Hua Zhao said. Hua Zhao said that it was a business that was not inferior to melon seeds.

Hua Zhao's family did have a color TV, but she was asked to put it in the backyard to show it to her grandfather. She didn't like watching the current TV.

Hua Zhao went straight to the West Point District.

"What do you want to buy?" Ye Shu asked curiously. What kind of profitable business is related to overseas Chinese stores? Or is it something Zhang Guilan can do?

It's not that she looks down on Zhang Guilan, she can see clearly that with Zhang Guilan's current level and courage, she can only sell snacks in front of train stations and movie theaters. Ask her to sell TV sets, and she hasn't watched TV many times.

"It's not okay to throw away this. It's expensive and has a short shelf life. If it can't be sold, it will be thrown into your hands." Ye Shu said.

"I don't buy bread, I buy ingredients." Hua Zhao found the ingredient section in the corner, which sells salad dressing, tomato sauce and various baking materials.

Overseas Chinese stores are open to all overseas Chinese and even foreign guests. Ordinary people have to look at the level of the store if they want to enter. They can either use U.S. dollars or overseas Chinese coupons to buy things. They don't accept pure RMB.

The pastry area is full of breads and pastries, and they are all very expensive. A small loaf of bread starts at 1 yuan, and they are all made with authentic foreign tastes.

"You want to go home and make pastry by yourself? Can you do it?" Ye Shu asked curiously.

If you make it yourself, the cost will be greatly reduced. How much flour does a small loaf of bread cost? 1 cent or 2 cents?

She saw her target, butter.

A box of butter weighing 2 pounds costs 10 yuan with a coupon, which is not expensive. Of course, it is only for her or overseas Chinese.

"Wait a minute, let's not buy an oven first." Hua Zhao said: "You also said that pastries are not easy to sell, they are easy to get into your hands, and they are time-consuming and laborious. Do you think kneading bread is easy? It is much more laborious than kneading steamed buns.

, you have to knead out the fascia, you can’t make a few pots a day, and you can’t make any money.”

"Then what are you going to do?" Yeshu became even more curious.

This is more profitable than melon seeds!

"Let's go buy an oven!" Yeshu pulled her upstairs.

She put a lot of effort into this bag of corn. She secretly cultivated it in a flower pot in the side room while Ye Shu was practicing dancing every day. It was somewhat similar to "exploding corn" corn.

The particles are small, slender, compact in structure, hard and transparent, and are best for making popcorn.

"You'll know when you get home." Hua Zhao pretended.

After returning home, she went directly into the kitchen and took out a small bag of corn from the food cabinet.

Yes, Hua Zhao plans to make buttered popcorn. The seeds she cultivated, coupled with its creamy taste, can conquer everyone.

Then she can't make buttered popcorn.

Otherwise, ordinary corn can only be popped out using a professional popcorn boiler.

The pan was also prepared when the house was being repaired, and it was very big. She needed to bake a pancake or something, so it was perfect for making popcorn.

It would be perfect if the pot lid could be reworked and equipped with a stirring function. Well, I'll take care of that soon.

Now, put out a pot of buttered popcorn and conquer Yeshu!
