Chapter 52
“Brother, you persuade Erwa” Lin Minjun said
Erwa followed up with, “Brother, I think things are dead, people are alive, it’s still snowing, what if my sister freezes and gets sick while setting up her stall?”
Yan Li was stared at by two pairs of big eyes, and after half a day of silence, he only said, “You can borrow it”
Lin Minjun almost fell head over heels under the table
What’s wrong with these two brothers! She was the only one who thought that their family’s property should be kept properly and not sold off indiscriminately!
Lin Minjun’s head is big, what’s wrong with them ah, she helped to take care of the two children did not want to return, really want to return, can also wait for the two children grow up their own independence, how to get to the point of selling the family’s treasure
Lin Minjun is ready to persuade a persuasion, at this time Yan Li said, “do not have to sell things, I have a veteran’s pension, not much, five thousand dollars, you can lend you open the store”
He thought for a moment and asked, “Is that enough?”
“What will you do if you lend it to me?”
Yan Li’s tone was gentle, “I’ll go to work tomorrow, with a salary”
“Sister, you just say yes, open a store to make money faster, you can also pay back earlier” Erwa rubbed his hands on the side and said, his appearance is particularly cute, reminding Lin Minjun of the little hamster she raised in her past life
Lin Minjun couldn’t resist, but agreed, “Okay, then I’ll give you an IOU, and it doesn’t have to be three thousand, it’s almost two thousand to open a store sporadically, and I’ve got nine hundred dollars in savings in my hand”
“Then borrow two thousand”
Yan Li said this is a decision, immediately went home and took a pile of large sum of money to, in front of Lin Minjun counted two thousand dollars, would have liked to hand over to her hand, see the girl in a daze, then gently put on the table, “not enough to ask me again, it’s okay”
The two brothers left for a long time, Lin Minjun still froze, until the wind and snow outside whistled and beat on the window, making a bang, she came back to her senses
Turning her head to look, it turned out that the window had not been closed tightly and the pull bolt was loose, so she walked over and closed the window dead center, and also used something to fill in the leak, before walking back to the table and picking up the two thousand dollars
The banknotes were slightly cool, but Lin Minjun’s heart was boiling hot, and this heat kept going up, to her heart, to her eyes, making her nose sore
Erwa said the problem she has thought about, and also know that the further their own business is not doing well, to fry yam in the sun, that kind of heat is not ordinary people can endure
The only solution is to open a store, with a store, at least there can be a place to rest, if she earns more, she can also install a small fan
But there was only so much money on her body, and she couldn’t even come up with the money to open a store
She had thought she was going to miss it so much, but she hadn’t expected it to be so soon, so soon she would have her own store!
Since the money has been borrowed, it is meaningless to say those words of gratitude, what Lin Minjun wants to do is to hurry up to open the store, gears turn up, a steady stream of money, you can return the money to Yan Li brother earlier
So the next day Lin Minjun went to the store again, holding out hope to find the main family, asked if the store is still there
The main family’s lesbian remembered her and recognized her at once, saying in surprise, “It’s actually you! I remember you, you got enough money together so quickly?”
“It’s me, sis, is that store in your house still there?” Lin Minjun said with a smile
Lesbian: “It’s still there! In fact, these days there are a lot of people asking, but not many can afford it Yesterday there was a male comrade who said he could afford it, but I saw that his hygiene habits were not good, and I was afraid that he would make a mess of the store, so I didn’t agree”
Hope rose in Lin Minjun’s heart
The lesbian could see her impatience and revealed a quick smile, “We’re a good match, and I can see that you love cleanliness, it’s still the same price, 1,750 yuan, you can rent it today”
Lin Minjun pinched the big knot in her clothes and added, “Can you let me go in and take a look? Because I’m opening a restaurant, I have to see if the water and electricity and such are good”
“Yes, go, I’ll show you”
The lesbian took away the wooden board, walked into the introduction, “Before opening a barber store, there is a faucet in front of the door to receive water to wash your head, you can do a pool here, specifically for washing dishes and bowls, the other side of the rack pots, the environment is certainly not as good as the big state-run restaurants, but you do it in front of the door, people see how you do it, and eat is not assured?”
Lin Minjun nodded, and began to calculate in his heart, which part of the place can be made a small pool, which put pots and pans, which put tables and chairs for everyone to sit and eat
This store looks small outside, in fact, the space inside is not small, it is vertical, there is a large piece of space in the back can be put on the table, you can also do a partition as a warehouse
What made Lin Minjun feel even more surprised was that there were actually two sets of tables and chairs and benches in the room, they looked a bit shabby, but the wood was in good condition, not rotting, and could still be used!
“Is this table from your family?” She turned her head and asked
The lesbian looked at it and smiled, walked over and shook it, and found that it did not fall, but also some surprise, exclaimed, “This is my family’s old furniture, my lover works in the recycling station, some years ago, a lot of people threw away their own good things do not dare to want, my lover moved home, the tables, chairs and stools of their own home replacement, no place to put, can only be put here”
“Don’t look at the old furniture, but this is to ask the old family craftsmen to carry wood on the mountain to do, strong it”
Lin Minjun was so moved that she summoned up the courage to ask, “Then, does your family still want it? I can spend money to buy it”
The lesbian smiled brightly, “No need to give money, lend it to you, you can wipe it yourself, find someone to take care of it, nail a nail to stabilize the table legs, as long as you don’t chop it up and use it as firewood, it’s all fine”
“Thank you sis!” Lin Minjun thanked from the bottom of her heart, “You’re so nice, as soon as I saw you before I felt like throwing in the towel, your heart is really good”
Lesbian family conditions are good, flattering people are also a lot of people, this kind of words are tired of hearing, on the contrary, Lin Minjun smiling, two apricot kernel eyes blinking, said out of the tone of special sincerity and honesty, let a person feel only sincerity and appreciation from the heart
She also looked back with a smile, “It’s not easy for us lesbians to come out to do business, so if we can help, we can help, what’s there, don’t be so polite”
The store is so agreed, Lin Minjun followed the lesbian to the Housing Authority to do the registration, signed the contract, the year’s rent to pay
After paying the rent, you have to start decorating without stopping, after all, vacant for a day, you have to waste a few dollars of rent it
The store does not need a large installation, mainly to find people to improve the line, paint the white walls, the ground leveled to put bricks, in addition to building a partition wall, do a door, in addition to finding a carpenter to get a table and chairs and benches to get a get a repair, the two long table is very large, to the store a set up just to sit twelve people, but also enough
The problem of the line can be directly to find the power supply bureau to get, mainly painting the walls and build a wall of work, have to look for will build a house to do
But who can build a house? Lin Minjun pulled at the people he knew, but he couldn’t think of anyone who could do this
For a while, she was in a bit of a dilemma, should she go to the construction team of Capital Construction for this small job?
That said, Lin Minjun began to set up a stall, is their own riding a tricycle down to the countryside to collect potatoes, because of this, but also with a village in the suburbs of the village secretary familiar with the village, when the people of the village’s good potatoes are collected, specifically to supply her, but also a bit of love in the
This day Lin Minjun in the original location of the stall, is thinking about who to find to decorate their own store, they saw the village secretary over, “Comrade Lin, you still want to collect taro?”
“Yes, why?” Lin Minjun invited him to sit at the table and poured him a cup of hot water
The village secretary was full of difficulties, “This thing is actually trouble you, our village this time the taro harvest, but because of the snow, the collection of taro people have not come to the present, the families saved a lot of taro in the hand can not be sold, anxious, I thought to ask you, if the collection of the words can not consider consider us, are new taro, glutinous it”
Lin Minjun at home also planted, know the hard work of planting, can not afford to see them so anxious, counting the inventory of the family, then said, “I can collect here, but also can not take so much, it is estimated that only a little bit to eat”
“What can we do, put it away again, when the weather warms up, it should sprout, it can’t be eaten” The village branch secretary was anxious
“You just said that this year’s potatoes are all very sticky, why don’t you make them into potato flour and let people sell them” Lin Minjun then said
The village secretary was dumbfounded, “Can it work? We haven’t tried it”
“Why not, the north city can not be sold, let people sell to the northeast, I remember that there are some places love to eat potato flour, do powder skin, powder flakes, these days everyone likes fresh things, you produce your own potato powder skin powder flakes do not need a ticket, there is still worry that no one to buy?”
This idea obviously opens up a new world, the village branch secretary’s eyes light up, think carefully also think it can be, the big deal is that he first make his own family’s potatoes to see, if he can sell them, he will bring everyone to do it together, it is better than sprouting at home and wasting it all
“Our village used to make tofu in every household, there’s a big mill in the village, maybe it’ll work!”
Lin Minjun thought for a moment and asked again, “Then if you can make tofu, can you grind rice milk and make rice flour?”
Village Branch Secretary: “It’s possible, if you can grind beans, you can grind rice, but we don’t know how to make rice flour”
“I have the recipe here, we can cooperate, I will come up with the recipe, you guys make rice flour, give me a cheaper price, the rice flour produced will be supplied to me as a matter of priority, and the rest of the excess can be sold to others, neither of us will suffer, what do you say?” Lin Minjun said with a smile
The recipe is not exclusive to her, it was passed down from old people in her hometown by word of mouth, and the rice flour made is not easy to break, and tastes like it pops out of her teeth
To the capital for such a long time, what I miss most is that mouthful of sinewy and smooth rice noodles, but unfortunately the north does not produce rice noodles, the store sells especially expensive, if you can persuade them to cooperate, not only to supply the store, the village can also be an additional income, is not two birds with one stone?
The village secretary was obviously moved, but did not agree at once “Wait for me to think about it, I’ll go back and discuss it with everyone, and come back tomorrow to give you a letter, okay?”
“Yes!” Lin Minjun smiled, her heart full of anticipation
After all, this was related to what she would sell in her store, as well as, whether or not she would be able to eat that bite of hometown flavor in the future!
