Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

After seeing off the guests, Ling Zeyang said to Ling Yue enviously: "Xiaoyue, I really didn't expect that in just a few years, you built such a big building in Qingpu City, which cost a lot of money Bar?"

In Ling Zeyang's perception, there are very few people like Ling Yue who bought ten lands in one go and built houses.

Most people buy up to three and have to wait years to build.

Some people even waited ten or eight years and couldn't build it.

Ling Yue didn't hide it from him, and said, "Brother, this building cost me 60 to [-]."

At the beginning of the construction, Ling Yue only had 21 yuan in his hand, and he borrowed 15 yuan from the bank and only built to the fifth floor.

It's just a pity that once the house is built, the money in her hands will be stretched again.

If she hadn't had three stores supporting her, she wouldn't have been able to build this building.

Ling Zeyang stared at her with wide eyes: "What, five or six million?"

Not to mention five or six million in his hand, even five or six thousand would not be available.

He quickly thought of something: "Xiaoyue, is selling clothes really that profitable?"

Ling Yue shook her head: "Not necessarily, I met a good time and found a good position. If I were in Fuqian County, I would definitely not be able to make so much money in a year."

There are much fewer people in Fuqian County than in Qingpu City, and the consumption level there is also low, but it is not a problem to earn three or four yuan a year.

Ling Zeyang made up his mind and made up his mind: "Xiaoyue, can you take me to do business? You know the situation of my family. One of your two younger sisters is studying and the other is working at home. I added a boy last year. These days are not bad. Tight."

Ling Yue agreed without the slightest hesitation: "Okay, don't you discuss it with uncle and the others?"

Ling Zeyang shook his head: "Why should I discuss this matter with them? I'm under a lot of pressure now. If I don't earn a little more money now, when the children grow up, study or marry a wife, which one doesn't cost money?"

"Brother, since you said so, let's do it this way. Starting tomorrow, you will manage the third store together with Mid-Autumn Festival. Then I will give you a bed there, and you can live there."

Ling Zeyang was elated: "Really?"

"I can't lie to you if I lie to anyone." Ling Yue laughed, "You can just do it here with peace of mind. If uncle asks, I'll help you explain."

"That's a good deal." Ling Zeyang said with a smile, and then thought of something: "It's just that I only planned to stay for two or three days when I came out this time, and I didn't even have a change of clothes."

"Look at what you said." Before Ling Yue could speak, Ling's mother interrupted with a smile, "Your sister owns a clothing store, and you came here as a brother and said that you have no clothes to wear. You're not hitting your sister and her husband in the face. ?"

Ling Zeyang laughed honestly: "Auntie, didn't I forget about it?"

Ling Zeyang slept in the same bed with Ling Qingfeng that night.

He was amazed: "It's no wonder Xiaoyue can build such a big building. I didn't expect that this clothing store alone has six or seven doors."

While spreading the quilt, Ling Qingfeng said: "Brother, my sister has opened three stores in total, and there are twelve stores in total."

Ling Zeyang stared at him with wide eyes: "What, Xiaoyue opened three stores?"

"Yes, it's just that there are two stores that are jointly opened with Ji Zhongqiu, and the money they make is also [-]-[-]."

"Mid-autumn season?"

Ling Zeyang muttered the name, and suddenly remembered: "Is it the young man who gave 200 yuan as a favor to my aunt on her [-]th birthday the year before last?"

Ling Qingfeng laughed heartily: "Brother, you may have to call him brother-in-law in the future."

"You mean he's Xiaohua's partner?" Ling Zeyang regained his energy in an instant, "Then why didn't I hear the wind?"

"Brother, can you stop gossiping like this?" Ling Qingfeng said with a smile, "If my sister hadn't built a house last year, they would have gotten married a long time ago."

Ling Zeyang patted his thigh: "But the relationship is good!"

That night, the two brothers chatted in bed for half the night.

At West Station, Ling Yue is dispensing bath water for Tongtong on the seventh floor.

Now there are no water heaters, let alone solar energy. When taking a bath, one must either burn a boiler or use a kettle to boil water and then pour it into the bath tub.

Tongtong is still too young to carry a kettle, and Ling Yue is not at ease to let her carry a pot full of hot water to make it herself.

"Mom, are we going to live here in the future?"

After a year of recuperation, Tongtong's face became visibly fatter.

Ling Yue poured her bath water and said, "Yes, as long as you like, you can live anywhere you want in the future."

Tongtong's eyes lit up: "Then can I sleep alone?"

Counting it, Tongtong is already almost eight years old, and it's time to let her sleep alone.

Ling Yue smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that you are already a big girl, and you can only sleep by yourself in the future."

If it weren't for the lack of conditions before, Ling Yue would have wanted her to sleep in a bed alone.

Tongtong quickly took off her clothes and got into the bathtub, and finished her bath happily. When she came out after changing clothes, Ling Yue had already made her small bed.

"Tongtong, you will sleep in this room from now on, call mom if you have something to do, and mom will sleep next door."

Tongtong jumped on the bed quickly, jumping up and down on the bed happily.

Ling Yue looked at her with a smile, and after she had danced for a few minutes, Ling Yue said, "Okay Tongtong, we have to rest early, you have to go to school tomorrow."

Tongtong got into the bed and tightly closed her eyes.

Back in the room, Ling Yue habitually sat at the desk, just about to spread out the books, she smiled and shook her head.

Today is a great day for the completion of her new house. The employees of the three stores have come to help, and they are not open for business at all today.

But I still have to calculate how much gift money and expenses I received in total today.

The chefs were invited from the state-run restaurant. Although there were only two chefs, their wages were not low at all. A day's work cost 50 yuan per person.

The drinks for the banquet were all brought from the department store. The bulk beer alone required two barrels, and the liquor used was Fenjiu, which required four pieces.

The drinks are basically for the children, and I also ordered four pieces.

The cost of sprinkling water alone cost nearly 100 yuan.

……

Ling Yue finished the calculation and found that today's expenditure and income are completely out of proportion.

The ratio is one thousand and three, and the income is only 420 yuan.

It turns out that holding banquets will not make money, but will lose a lot.

She sighed, and recorded today's income and expenditure in her living ledger.

Watching her put away the ledger, Wang Zhaoyang smiled and said, "What's the matter, are you so unhappy?"

Ling Yue raised her eyebrows: "I always thought that we made money from holding banquets, but who knew we would lose a lot."

Wang Zhaoyang said as a matter of course: "That's for sure, you don't even look at it, how much you are wasting just the vegetables."
