Chapter 13 The shop is built
After Yang Zhiwei returned, he brought several orders to Zhou Tian’s family the next day.
Zhou Tianxin was very happy and gave Yang Zhiwei some food as a thank you.
After three or four days like this, there were more people coming to the entrance of the station to sell food. Some people selling buns and steamed buns, and some fried dough sticks and soy milk were filled with soy milk. The station, which was originally deserted in the morning, was very lively.
With more choices, the customers who come and go will no longer only choose the Zhou family’s cakes. Therefore, the Zhou family’s business plummeted, and they couldn’t sell out the cakes they made for three consecutive days.
The weather is hot now, and the cake will become rotten if it is stored for a long time. Zhou Tian had to eat the cake that she couldn't sell for three meals.
"It's not a solution to continue like this." Zhou Hui was a little worried. His leg wound was scabbed now and he could walk, but he could not exercise vigorously and could not stand for too long.
He was going to go back to the factory, but he was afraid that his sister would not be able to work alone, so he stayed there first.
"I know." Zhou Tian felt the smell of cake in her throat, "Don't be anxious, people think of it, they can always think of it."
It is early summer now, and the weather will only get hotter and hotter. At this time, I was the most popular to buy shaved ice cream. But in this era, where do ice makers come from? These are just thoughts.
"If it doesn't work, then go and carry the load and sell it." Zhou Tian said.
The so-called pole-carrying sale is a hawking sale like a peddler carrying things and walking around the streets. Especially in the countryside, it is easier to sell.
But there is only one adult man in their family, and Zhou Hui is going to work in the factory again, so Zhou Tian can only do this.
"How can that work? How tired you are like this?" Zhou Hui didn't want to.
"Otherwise? Money will not come to you at home. Are you willing to be so cowardly for the rest of your life?" Zhou Tian asked back, "At least there is still a chance now. When you can't do anything, you can only wait for death. That's despair."
Thinking of being able to be a poor village girl with no money in the future, Zhou Tian was so scared that she was much more energetic.
After doing it, Zhou Tian immediately prepared what she needed.
Seeing her sister's unyielding personality, Zhou Hui knew that it would be useless to persuade her again, so he simply dug a wheel for her overnight. The wheel was connected to the wooden board, put the basket on it, and pulled it with his hands in front, at least he didn't have to spend any effort when leaving.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Hui said, he was worried about his sister alone.
"I'll go again until dawn. Don't go to the remote alley. Don't worry." Zhou Tian was afraid of pulling his wound. "Let's do this, I'll take my younger brother and sister. They are also half-aged children. What's the matter? They're better than me alone. Do you think it's?"
"Okay." The two little ones put a pair of scissors on each side, and repeatedly reminded them, and then Zhou Hui let them go.
Due to safety issues, Zhou Tian waited until dawn to leave.
She held a cake basket and drove a cart along the street, and occasionally turned into an alley with more people and shouted. Not to mention, the fresh and soft cakes are quite popular among children, and the price is not expensive, so the business has been OK along the way.
This improved business made Zhou Tian feel a little more anticipated. Cakes are food. Some people eat them today, and they might want to eat them tomorrow; some people don’t buy them today, and they might want to buy them tomorrow. Speaking of which, this is also a market.
Two hours later, the basket of cakes was sold out and the temperature outside became higher. Zhou Tian quickly took her younger brother and sister home.
Not only is the hot weather at noon, but for lunch, adults also buy these snacks for children, so she can only go in the morning and in the evening.
After coming back and taking a shower, Zhou Tianyi counted the money, hey, he made a few more dollars. It was not as much as he had at the station before, but it was a rebound after a few days.
This time the whole family was in a good mood.
Zhou Tian crossed out the cost of the money and took another half into the deposit cylinder. The rest was the money he used to buy groceries.
You can’t just make money, you must repay yourself in a timely manner.
"Continue to eat meat tomorrow." Zhou Tian said.
"Oh yeah!" the two children shouted happily.
Zhou Hui sat by the stove and smiled silly. Although such a life was hard, he just felt very interesting, and he had much more potential than before.
"Tiantian, I have contacted bricks and tiles today. I will ask someone to help build a shop tomorrow. Do you think we will get the money or cook for us?"
The habit here is that you usually don’t pay for small work, and you basically make delicious meals at noon.
"I can't cook big dishes." Zhou Tian had never cooked meat dishes in the past, but she herself was a person who was not diligent in terms of grains. It's okay if it was simple, but the big dishes were too complicated for her. "If you don't just take the money, maybe they would be happier."
Zhou Hui nodded, "I think so too."
After the brothers and sisters discussed, a few workers came to their home the next day. Because the shop to be built does not have to be particularly large, three or four workers can basically complete the work in three or four days.
Maybe it was Zhou Hui who said he would pay for his wages, and those workers worked very well. They came in the morning and left at night without any delay.
Seeing that the hot weather was hard, Zhou Tian thought about it and made an extra meal for them at noon. The teapot was always filled with honeysuckle and jasmine.
"Just my girl is not very skilled, you just eat it. I won't say anything else, but I can only eat it." Zhou Hui said politely.
Those men didn't expect that the boss would be so polite, and they felt very helpful. They had a lot of food and worked quickly and well. In less than three days, the shop was built.
Zhou Hui and Zhou Tian went in and looked at it and found that they were doing a good job. The walls were neat and cleaned up very cleanly.
"Our family, I will find us a few more jobs in the future. We will live on the dock. You can find it by asking." Before leaving, the leader said.
"If you have to, you have to get it." Zhou Hui followed his sister's instructions and packed a bag of cake for the workers one by one and took them back. Seeing that the workers refused, he said, "It's not much money for the children to eat. You have done a good job, so this is what you should get."
The workers were particularly impressed by this and their favor towards the Zhou family became increasingly high.
"Then we brothers are welcome. If you have any questions in the future, remember to find us."
"no problem."
When they saw those men leaving, Zhou Hui couldn't help asking his sister, "Are you too polite?" He invited them to dinner and delivered things. It would be fine if their family was rich, but the key is that their family didn't have much money.
Zhou Tian directed the young man to turn on the new shops for ventilation, and said, "I have observed it carefully these days. They are honest in their meals, never looking around, and there is no irregularity. Such people are more honest and reliable, and they are also strong, so they must ask them for help if they have anything to do in the future."
