Volume 1 Chapter 0042: Stall Training
After Xian Weimin helped Men Saner away, Nan Yi, who was helped to the bed, opened his eyes.
His eyes were very clear, and he didn't look like a drunk at all.
I got up, went to the bathroom to drain the waste water, and then ran to the kitchen to make myself a glass of honey water.
Holding the cup, he smoked a cigarette in the yard. On the way back to his room, he heard some noise in Nan Ruoyin's room.
He stood outside the door and knocked. When he heard someone say "come in", Nan Yi pushed the door open and went in.
“Is Doraemon good?”
"It's nice, but I can't understand a lot of the words."
"Then you should study English as soon as possible. Once you learn more, you will be able to understand everything."
Nan Ruoyin was watching a videotape of Doraemon, the English-dubbed version released by Lijiaopo, which Nan Yi asked Men Saner to get from Hu Jianren.
There are many Hu Jian people in Southeast Asia, so it is very easy for them to import smuggled goods from abroad.
At present, the two places where parallel imports are rampant in China are Hujian Ludao and Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. All foreign new things that appear in the mainland, except for Xiangkeng, basically come from these two places.
"Dad, can you watch it with me?"
"Okay, but you should go to bed after watching this episode."
"Um."
Nan Yi leaned on Nan Ruoyin's bed, and Nan Ruoyin leaned against him.
"What's this episode about ?"
"Forty-five years later, Nobita from the future arrives in the present."
"Forty-five years? What a coincidence, didn't I come forty-five years later?" Nan Yi thought silently.
"Dad, do you think there is really such a machine that can travel through the past and the future?"
"I don't know. Dad has never seen it. But Einstein proposed the Theory of Time Relativity. He had a hypothesis. If the speed exceeds the speed of light, time can flow backwards.
If you want to know whether it is possible, you can find a way to verify it when you grow up."
"Well, I want to make a Doraemon. I also want a treasure bag and a cat-shaped robot. Dad, can you help me make a bamboo dragonfly?"
"Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Nan Ruoyin's mention of the bamboo dragonfly reminded Nan Yi that bamboo dragonflies and hula hoops are things that children love to play with, and it is possible to make some quick money by making them.
It can only be quick money, so I'll just give up on long-term business. Seeing that this thing sells well, factories will be set up immediately. My quality is not as good as yours, but I can sell it cheaper.
Are you biting me?
Chinese people are experts at following trends. When something becomes popular, people who “learn” from it will emerge in droves. In a few decades, not to mention industrial products, even appearances will follow the trend.
"Oh, this one is so beautiful, I want to look like this too."
Men are blessed , as their sisters-in-law who look the same as their wives are valued in the thousands.
Looking around, there are thousands of wives. Are you scared?
"The episode is over, time to go to bed."
"Um."
Nan Ruoyin shrank down, crawled into the quilt, closed her eyes, and then opened them again.
"Dad, sing to me."
"good."
Nan Yi tucked in the quilt for Nan Ruoyin and patted it gently with his hands, "Let's row the oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls..."
A soft call was heard, and Nan Yi tiptoed to turn off the TV and VCR, closed the door, and returned to his room.
Since the time when Nanyi went to the countryside, and especially after the college entrance examination, the return of educated youth to the city has become an inevitable topic.
In the past, we tried every possible way to return to the city through various crooked means.
In order to get the quota to return to the city, some people pretended to be sick, some people untied their belts, and as long as they could return to the city, there were people willing to do anything.
This year, educated youth no longer need to find ways to return to the city in secret, as the policy has been relaxed.
In these two months, a huge number of 7 million educated youth returned to the city.
Many of those who returned to the city in small numbers earlier were unable to find a place to stay and became unemployed. Now that so many people have returned at once, the pressure on employment is even greater.
The city became even more chaotic. At the entrance of the alleys, there were often groups of young people hanging around. Every morning, a lot of Erguotou bottles could be cleared out of the alleys.
Aunt Huang from the Baihuashenchu neighborhood committee went door to door and set up a duty roster, with each household taking turns to clean the alley twice a day.
Today, it is Nan Yi's turn.
It happened to be the weekend, so Nan Yi didn't let Aunt Yu go. He took Nan Ruoyin with him to clean up.
Nan Yi had a rope hanging around his waist with a snakeskin bag tied to one side. He walked in front while Nan Ruoyin picked up bottles behind him and put them into the snakeskin bag with a clinking sound.
"Dad, can this bottle be sold for money?"
"Yes, I can sell them. One is ten cents each, and ten is ten cents each."
"I have already picked up eighty. Doesn't that make eight cents?"
"Yes, after we pick up all the items, we can collect ten cents. What do you want to do with this ten cent?"
"How much is a pound of meat today?" Nan Ruoyin asked after thinking for a moment.
"It has gone up. It was already 76 cents yesterday."
"Oh, it's so expensive. Didn't it cost 73 cents last year ?"
"The number of live pigs slaughtered in the second half of last year was less than in the first half. There is a certain shortage of raw meat supply across the country. It is normal for prices to rise, and they will continue to rise. By then, my father's monthly subsidy will not be enough to buy a pound of meat."
"Oh, does that mean we won't have meat to eat anymore?"
"How could Daddy let you go without meat? Next year, Daddy will send you to study in a country where there is plenty of meat. You can eat meat every day."
"Dad, can I not go? I don't want to leave you."
"No, Dad is counting on you to help him in the future. How can you help him if you don't study? Are you going to eat the meat for him?"
"Hehe, OK, I'll help dad eat meat."
"Little girl, you only know how to eat meat. Daddy will start arranging work for you tomorrow. Why don't you go and do business with Daddy?"
"Okay, Dad, what business?"
"You will definitely like it. Let's make pancakes and you can eat them while selling them."
"Pancakes for breakfast?"
"Yes, it's the pancake. Don't you like it?"
"Okay, let's sell pancakes."
Nan Yi was not teasing the child, he really planned to sell pancakes.
In the afternoon, Nan Yi packed up Nan Ruoyin's belongings and asked her to move to the old villa in Gongzhufen first.
Then he went back to the dormitory alone.
Like countless other days, Wu Renpin was still reading in his dormitory.
"Renpin, let's go out. I have something to tell you."
Wu Renpin put down the book and followed Nan Yi to the corridor outside in confusion.
Nan Yi took out a cigarette and gave one to Wu Renpin.
"I've quit." Wu Renpin waved his hand.
"You can quit buying cigarettes, but you can't quit smoking. It's just a hobby, why quit? Just put it in your mouth and smoke."
Nan Yi put the cigarette into Wu Renpin's mouth and lit it for him with a lighter.
"I came to you today because I want to cooperate with you in business. After eating here for more than a year, many students who are not short of money have already found the food in the cafeteria unpalatable. Look at the restaurant behind the school, many students hang out there.
So, I plan to take you with me, and we will go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together to apply for two individual industrial and commercial business licenses and set up a breakfast stall. You can make spicy soup, and I can make pancakes.
We have two licenses, so we can open a stall and work together. This way, we can get around the problem of not being able to hire workers."
"Is it okay to sell breakfast? The school won't allow it, right?"
Wu Renpin was a little moved after hearing this.
