Chapter 205 [205] Three Thousand

In the 1970s, if I wanted to choose to do business, I would naturally have to be within the Third Ring Road. Places like Wudaokou were a bit remote. If there weren’t universities here, I’d be afraid that no one would come here in normal times, especially since it has not yet developed, it is even more unsuitable for business.

So, as soon as the old man opened his mouth, Zhuo Lin knew what it meant: "We must rent a house, but when we look at the shop, we also want to choose commercial streets near Wangfujing or Nanluoguxiang. If we want to find a house, we must have even given up the shop and the one who lives there."

If you can buy a suitable place of residence, with her family's savings, it should be enough to buy a single room like the one she lives in now. Buying a single room is better than renting a house, especially whenever the area is dark and the hats of outsiders are difficult to completely abandon. Therefore, buying a house is more reasonable than renting a house.

She habitually wanted to discuss this specific issue with Tao Yi, who seemed to be powerful in her opinion, because Tao Yi was reborn from an authentic capital city and had a certain background. He asked him to do this matter better than her, a foreigner who was so slight and disgusted.

Originally, the old man wanted to make the east wing of his family for them, but now Zhuo Lin said he wanted to go to the third ring road to find it, so he could only shut up and stop talking.

After dinner, Zhuo Lin began to clean up her nest. She didn't come back for a holiday and was still covered with dust. It was almost eight or nine o'clock when she brushed it inside and out. After that, she washed up and lay comfortably on her small bed. Looking at the tidy cottage, she was feeling comfortable.

No wonder everyone envies single life. Without the elderly, children make you worry. When you eat alone and your whole family is not hungry, it is probably the happiest and most comfortable period, so she has to take advantage of this period to make money and do what she wants.

The school has not started yet, and there are basically no people around. Selling cakes is definitely not good, making tofu, but the guy is not enough. She is too tired to make it by herself, and it is not good to stimulate vegetables. The demand is too high, and the physical energy it consumes is immeasurable. If they eat it at home, it is absolutely fine, but if they rely on this to make a living, it would be too difficult.

Finally, Zhuo Lin decided to sell tofu brain. Tofu brain is not tofu. It only needs to be filtered, boiled, and added brine to solidify. She could do it whether it was sweet or salty. So on the 7th day of the lunar month, she rode her own tricycle to the wholesale market and bought insulation buckets, large iron pots, filtered gauze medium millstones, etc., which cost about ten yuan in total. It was not expensive, but it was heavy. Because the millstone was too heavy, and she was worried that the car would be crushed, she specially asked someone to spend 50 cents to send her home.

The small millstone couldn't do anything, so she bought a medium millstone with a diameter of 70 to 80 cm.

I cleaned the grinder and dried it in the air, and went to the vegetable market to buy fifty kilograms of soybeans. At this time, soybeans cost eight cents per kilogram, and fifty kilograms cost four yuan.

Soak a pound of beans in six kilograms of water. After grinding the tofu brain, remove one kilogram of bean dregs, and there are six kilograms! One kilogram can produce three bowls of brain.

By this calculation, one pound of beans can produce 20 bowls of tofu brain. The insulation bucket she bought can produce about 150 or 60 bowls, which is eight pounds of beans. If the cost is included, the marinade, kung fu and heat can be calculated to be about 150 cents. She plans to sell these 160 bowls like this, without adding anything, three cents a bowl, six cents a bowl of sweet taste, and four cents a bowl of salty taste. According to the northern characteristics, more people who like salty taste should be, but children all like sweet taste.

When buying candy, you need sugar tickets. Anything that is scarce will use tickets to limit the quantity. Although it can be bought at a high price, the cost is too high. Although she can grow beets herself, the production process is too cumbersome, so she can't do it for the time being. She can only buy sugar from a supply and marketing cooperative. She has national sugar tickets in her hand, and several brothers saved money for her. No one in the family has it, but she has it. Maybe she really thinks that girls love to eat candy, and it is handy at this time.

According to people's consumption capacity nowadays, she dared to be sure that she could not sell the sweet food, so she only prepared one pound of this candy. Even if it was sold for six cents, she would give them a spoonful of it. If it was too much, she would not sell it.

After planning, I started to use celery and soybeans to make braised rice, and at the same time I had to buy some chili oil, sesame, peanuts, and large ingredients. I added a lot of auxiliary ingredients. The chili oil produced in this way will be very delicious and will invisibly become a magic weapon for salty tofu brain.

She prepared two kinds of salty braised rice, one is the traditional celery soybean, the other is the blended chili sauce and sesame sauce, and she also prepared some onions and coriander that she gave birth to herself, cut them into pieces, and sprinkle some of them if needed to increase the taste.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, she was busy from morning to night, picking beans and soaking beans. On the eighth day of the lunar month, she started working hard until eight o'clock in the morning, and finally made a big bucket of tofu brain. Then she hung up the signboard she wrote and left a small pot with the old couple. Then she rode a tricycle and started selling along the street. Because she couldn't make money from students, she went to make money from the people nearby.

She was pretty and had a bright voice. She couldn't shout at first, but later she became thick-skinned and shouted at the top of her voice regardless of the situation.

"The tofu is so hot, and the salty four cents a bowl. Everyone brings the bowl out to taste it. It doesn't taste good, so it won't cost you!"

She prepared a bowl herself, which is a small enamel bowl used by ordinary people. If anyone wants to taste it, she will serve it for others, put some ingredients, and pour it into her own bowl. Not to mention, this method is really good. Anyone who has tasted it said to taste good and buy it very happily. She is generous and will add a shovel to others more than usual, so that people can feel that the four cents spent is not a loss and can make the children fill them.

But when you encounter someone who likes to take advantage of it, you will pour some and taste it. Zhuo Lin is not used to the problem of these people.

"Auntie, there are only so many tastings. If you think it's delicious, please pay for it. If you think it's not delicious, you can not buy it."

"Hey, why are you so stingy? I haven't tasted it in one bite, can't I try it again?"

"Auntie, I just gave you a shovel. That's not a single bite, that's a lot of bites. If you can't taste so many bites, you don't have to taste it."

"How do you talk? Will you do business? If everyone is like you,"

"Auntie, if you come here with the intention of taking advantage of the situation, I am not willing to do this business with you, and I will not do business. I am just like that. If I have to be angry with you when I sell something, then I would rather not sell it. As for other customers, after they buy it, I will give you another shovel. That's what I want, but you, I don't want it, and I won't be willing to deal with you in the future. Please go slowly, thank you."

Because she was so angry that she was so angry that she didn't seem that cheap. What customer is God? That scorer!

"What you said is so ugly. What else do you buy? Just like her, can you eat what you make? Don't poison it!"

Zhuo Lin smiled and looked at her neighbors: "Do you want it any more? If you don't want it, I will leave. Open the door to do business. Who doesn't know how kindness can make money? But how much can I make in this bowl? If I look at the face of a person like her, then I would rather not sell it. After all, I have backbone!"

Seeing that they looked at each other and didn't talk, Zhuo Lin was not annoyed, and straight away packed up her things, rode a tricycle and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't leave. I want a bowl. I tasted it. It tasted pretty good. I need salty food. I'll have a bowl. Do you come every day?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said to others: "Not necessarily. I am a student. It's not that the school has not started. I want to earn some living expenses for myself. Our family is making tofu. I can't make tofu myself, so I can only make some tofu brains. If it's a weekend, I might be selling cakes at the school. I have to see the tofu brains. I will make it when I have time and don't make it if I don't have time."

"Just brag, and the students are going to make their own tofu brains? It's like you live by yourself."

The old lady was not convinced and was still rolling her eyes there!

"Auntie, you're right, I live by myself. My family is from southern Henan Province. I am from another place. I'm not here to buy me a house at the back of the school for the comfort of my life. I thought that before school started, I would come here to earn my living expenses first. My family is relatively independent, so I will sell my tofu brain to anyone, but I won't sell you because we scholars have integrity! Would you rather break than bend, understand?"

Although Zhuo Lin said with a smile, there was no warmth in her eyes.

"Wow, after talking for a long time, I'm still a foreigner, from southern Henan Province, right? The people there are the worst. They are so poor that they are dying of poverty. Have you gone to our capital to make a living?..."

Zhuo Lin had seen regional darkness in his previous life, especially the crime of southern Henan Province, as if you did nothing, but because some rat shit broke a whole pot of porridge, people would scold them everywhere they went, which made people in southern Henan Province feel depressed.

Look, the old lady seemed to have found a reason to blackmail her. She stood near her car with her waist and pointed and scolded her. Zhuo Lin ignored her and sent her to the customer who was willing to buy tofu brain. She packed up her things and looked up at the old lady, her eyes full of contempt.

"Auntie, no matter how bad we southern Henan people are, we will not stand here like shrews to slander and insult others. What's the case for you to be a Beijinger? So what if I am a foreigner? Just because I am from another place, I deserve to listen to your superior argument? What's your fallacy? Also, I'm not the cat and dog you mentioned, I'm the freshman of Huaqing University this year, and the top scorer in the national college entrance examination last year. What's your grandchildren better than me? What's your clamoring here? Am I proud? I'm not from a Beijinger now, so it won't be the case in the future? What's more, we've bought a house and settled a home here. We have all of you. What's the right to deny us here?"

Zhuo Lin said this, too lazy to look at her more, and rode her bike and left. She could still hear the person in a daze from afar, and kept saying negative words such as "bragging" and "nonsense"...

She tugged her lips disdainfully. Some people are like this. They are neither willing to admit that their skills are inferior to others, nor do they want to admit that they are excellent. Is it interesting to compare their strengths with their weaknesses?
