Jiang Tian was worried at first because her grandparents had never run a business and wouldn't be able to adapt all of a sudden.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of trial operation, grandparents did even better than she had imagined!

The goods that my second uncle found for my father-in-law were all things that could be put on the shelves and had a relatively long shelf life. Unexpectedly, when Grandma He went to the street to buy vegetables, she found that after nine o'clock every morning, when the stalls in the town were closed, there were no vegetables to buy.

After the old couple discussed it, they decided to set up another vegetable stall in front of the supermarket.

Grandpa He watches the store in the morning, and Grandma He takes a small stool to sit on the roadside when the morning market is about to close. When she sees vegetable sellers on the road carrying unsold vegetables home, she stops them to ask about the price.

Generally, the vegetable vendors will give discounts on the unsold vegetables. The prices are much cheaper than those at the morning market, and some are even half a dozen or even discounted.

When the price is right and the vegetables look good, Grandma He buys them at a low price, saving people from having to carry them home from far away. She also sells them at a stall and earns some pocket money.

After a while, everyone in the town knew that if they missed the morning market and wanted to buy vegetables, they could go to the nearby "Xiangjun Supermarket".

Since I was here and bought some vegetables, I suddenly remembered that I had run out of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, so I bought some at the supermarket and brought them back.

Grandma He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and sell some vegetables. If she couldn't sell them, she could eat them herself so it wouldn't be a waste.

Unexpectedly, this small vegetable stall actually attracted a lot of customers to the supermarket.

Later, those who often went to Shuangfeng Town to set up stalls to sell vegetables, fruits, and local specialties all year round also knew that there was a "Xiangjun Supermarket" on the provincial road. If they had unsold fruits, vegetables, or local specialties at the stalls, they could go there and ask.

I heard that the boss couple are very nice people. As long as the goods are good and the price is right, they can basically sell them.

As they were selling, the He family elders suddenly discovered one day:

Why does the store make more money from selling fruits and vegetables than the supermarket does from selling groceries and daily necessities?

By the time Jiang Tian found out about this, the He family's elders had already changed the layout of the three front rooms:

The two rooms on the right remain unchanged, and they are still equipped with shelves to function as supermarkets.

The room on the left was vacated and used as a small family vegetable market, selling fruits, vegetables, dried vegetables and salted fish purchased from small vendors.

Later on, many people in the town who were too lazy to get up in the morning to go to the morning market got used to having a leisurely breakfast after getting up, and then strolling to the "Xiangjun Supermarket" and sitting at the door to listen to others chatting and gossiping. When they had enough fun, they would go to the small vegetable market next door to pick out some vegetables for lunch and take them back to cook.

Mr. He is also a good person. After finding out that everyone likes to sit in front of their supermarket and chat, the old man spent some money and built a rainproof shed in front of his house using bamboo and reed mats.

Now, even on a rainy day, it doesn’t stop everyone from chatting and gossiping at the supermarket entrance.

Gradually, the entrance of "Xiangjun Supermarket" has become the favorite gathering place for local "gossip lovers"!

The reason is very simple -

First, the entrance of Xiangjun Supermarket is a poured cement floor, which is clean and flat.

Second, the He family elders were generous people. When they were chatting and gossiping, they would go in to get some water or use the toilet, and they would not mind. Sometimes when they were chatting happily, they would cut a melon for them, wash a few peaches, etc.

Third, and most importantly, the He family has a color TV!

This color TV was bought by the two sons-in-law of the He family for their mother-in-law with their money pooled together, as a gift to celebrate their new home.

The two elders of the He family were not stingy people. They found out that everyone wanted to watch color TV, so they moved the TV to the supermarket counter at night, with the screen facing outside, so that people sitting outside could also watch TV.

It is no wonder that the He family's color TVs are so popular. In 1986, the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" was rebroadcast countless times. After its premiere during the Spring Festival of that year, it was so popular that even if it was rebroadcast countless times, people would still watch it with great interest and couldn't stop watching it if they randomly opened an episode.

Later on, the entrance of the supermarket owned by the He family became as lively as a night market at night.

Grandma He was not idle either. She asked Grandpa He to look after the store. She moved out the coal briquette stoves at home and placed them under the eaves. There were specially made large frying pans on both coal stoves.

One is filled with fried golden and fragrant hairy eggs, which are divided into two types: "whole eggs" and "hairy eggs".

A "whole egg" is a solid egg that has failed to hatch and has not yet grown into a chick, while a "hairy egg" is a chicken egg that has already hatched a chick.

Sprinkle some rapeseed oil in the pan and slowly fry until the surface is golden brown. When eating, sprinkle with chili powder or pepper according to personal taste.

The sale starts at six o'clock in the afternoon and continues until after nine o'clock in the evening. When business is good, four or five pots of raw eggs can be sold in one night!

In the other pan were the local specialties stinky tofu and stinky dried tofu, five cents a piece. Some greedy people would buy ten pieces at a time and still not be satisfied.

The two uncles of the He family probably never imagined that the color TV they bought for their elders was originally intended to help them relieve their loneliness and pass the time.

As a result, the two elders used the color TVs that their sons-in-law gave them as a show of filial piety as props to attract customers.

Originally, the two aunts were worried that the store was busy with people coming and going every day and that their parents’ health might not be able to cope with it.

As a result, after making a few phone calls, I found that my parents' voices were getting louder and louder, and both of my aunts were speechless.

Is this the power of money?

After receiving the call from her second aunt, Jiang Tian laughed out loud. After that, she told He Aiqing not to worry, as she had already found helpers for the two elders.

Jiang Tian’s homeroom teacher probably never imagined that his student would return to campus again, but not as a student.

Instead, he came back as a boss to recruit workers.

Very few students from township middle schools can be admitted to technical secondary schools and high schools. Every year, more than half of the students fail to pass the entrance exam and either return to the village to farm or go out to work.

There are also some girls who started school late and are older, and whose families have brothers who are waiting to give money to marry a wife. After graduating from junior high school, nine out of ten times they have to go on blind dates and get married under the arrangement of their families.

But this year is different.

These students who failed the high school entrance examination have a new way out:

Their junior schoolmate Jiang Tian, ​​representing the "family business", came to the school to recruit apprentices!

Although it's just an apprentice, the competition is quite fierce.

As schoolmate Jiang Tian said, the reason why the school recruits apprentices is mainly because junior high school graduates are all under the age of 18, which means they are still minors and are considered child laborers.

But my junior schoolmate said that I could start as an apprentice in the factory, and once I had mastered the skills and turned 18, I could become a formal worker in the factory.

I heard that the worker with the fastest hands in the rice dumpling factory can earn hundreds of yuan per month just in piecework wages!

Who wouldn’t be moved by this?
