The girl in Old Man Xuan's mouth was naturally none other than Zhou Ya, a silly girl. Although Old Man Xuan has the heaviest workload since he started selling steamed buns, Zhou Ya is the hardest working one, working from dawn to dusk and never complaining about it.
Originally, Yang Dongxu came up with the idea of a breakfast truck and business plans, but he only decided to get 20% of the shares. Old Man Xuan came up with the secret recipe and contributed 50% of the labor, and the remaining 30% went to Zhou Ya.
But Zhou Ya didn't agree with anything. As long as 10% of the money was paid, Yang Dongxu was forced to accept it when he almost fell out. According to Zhou Ya's idea, as long as she has enough food every day, she doesn't need to pay. What an honest girl she is.
"That's necessary. She's my sister. If I have something to eat, she won't be missing." Yang Dongxu replied without hesitation.
Even if Old Man Xuan didn't tell Yang Dongxu, he would still leave a dowry for Zhou Ya. He also liked this innocent, kind, and extremely hard-working girl who was only sixteen years old from the bottom of his heart. This is an absolutely good wife and mother. If she were not old enough, she would marry her even if she was a swindler. As for ethics and other things, who would care about such a wife? After all, there is no blood relationship.
"Then leave this matter to me." As for Yang Dongxu's temperament, Old Man Xuan has seen it during this period, so it is enough to mention it. There is no need to warn him, "Didn't you want to buy a house before?"
"House? Is there any news?" Yang Dongxu, who was a little regretful that the Tie family's treasure could not be obtained in a short time, suddenly became energetic again.
"We have to start looking for it even if we don't have any news. Let's not mention that we are here in the middle of the night. The Taoist priest at Ding Ding Bang Bang Temple has already expressed his opinion. Just talking about these items, how much do you think my small house can store?" Old Man Xuan asked. He said while looking at the big dining table that was obviously crowded in the room.
"That's right." Yang Dongxu smiled awkwardly. He only thought about buying treasures, but he didn't expect that storage was also a very important matter. "How much money do we have in hand?"
"More than seven hundred. That silly girl heard you wanted to buy something two days ago and took out her share of the money, so now the money is all with me." Old man Xuan showed a loving smile on his face, such a sensible little girl No matter how painful it is, it's worth it.
"So many." Yang Dongxu was a little surprised, but he was relieved to think that his family was the only one selling steamed buns now. "Then what are the prices of houses now?"
"For a small courtyard like mine with three main rooms and a few side rooms, two or three hundred is enough. A larger one of five or six hundred can also be obtained. A large courtyard with three entrances and three exits like the one you live in , at least around 1,500, and if it occupies a large area and is expensive to build, it may be more than 2,000." Old Man Xuan thought about it and said.
Cheap, really too cheap. If you think about this idea and save money for two or three years, even an ordinary worker can buy a small courtyard and live comfortably.
However, after 20 or 30 years of hard work, the next generation could only afford to sell a toilet in Yanjing, and Yang Dongxu couldn't help but feel pain in his balls. I want him to never have to have pain in his balls again in this life.
"Then buy a big one. The bigger the better." Yang Dongxu said immediately. He must buy a big one. Even if the land cannot be saved and is demolished in the future, it will still be worth a lot of money. Besides, if you are lucky enough not to be demolished, there will be no room for future generations to buy a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
"If you buy a big house, you won't have enough money, and there are people living in many big yards now. Even if you buy the house, you can't drive them away." Old man Xuan was a little embarrassed. It's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice.
"I'll figure out the money thing. Don't worry about it. We can buy a similar place to live in first. If it's hard to find a big yard, I'll think about it later." Yang Dongxu thought that he didn't have enough money and thought he could take a roundabout way.
Now buy a place you can live in. There will be a place for making steamed buns or storing these old items. Then think about buying a bigger yard.
It doesn't matter whether there are people living in it or not. It's better if there are no people living in it. If there are people living in it, then find a way to get people to move. In short, he had to buy a big yard, but how to get the money made him scratch his head.
This is not Yangjia Village. You can tinker in the fields or the river, or you can find a few people to work as second-level traders. In Yanjing, there was no one who wanted people, and he wanted to make some money quickly, which made him have some difficulties.
"Okay, I'll go out to explore in the next few days and buy a similar yard to live in first. Don't make any detours." Old Man Xuan warned Yang Dongxu because he was afraid that Yang Dongxu would be too aggressive in making money.
Although Yang Dongxu is not old, after getting along with him for so long, he will not treat Yang Dongxu like an ordinary child. Although he poured a basin of cold water on Yang Dongxu today. But I still very much agree with some of Yang Dongxu's ideas and plans, knowing that Yang Dongxu's little brain is easier to use than some adults. Otherwise, he wouldn't go through the trouble together.
"Don't worry. I still haven't finished walking the main road. Are you going to take detours if I have time? I'll go back first if it's okay. Goodbye!" Yang Dongxu waved his hand.
Looking at the back of the little man Yang Dongxu left, I thought about the certainty with which he spoke just now. Old Man Xuan shook his head: "This little brat is a bit evil."
Yang Dongxu didn't hear Old Man Xuan's evaluation of him, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. Although old man Xuan could read faces and was very accurate, he was really surprised.
But he was more curious about this kind of thing, and he pestered Old Man Xuan to teach him how to do it, so that he would have a trump card for picking up girls in the future. Unfortunately, Old Man Xuan rejected him because he had a bad character.
You can also tell if your xinxing is not right. Do you have an X-ray machine or a clairvoyant eye? You are so awesome, why can't you see that I have traveled back in time? Being rejected by Old Man Xuan was very unhappy.
In the evening, he continued to teach Zhou Ya how to read, and then stayed up half the night to help make buns. Yang Dongxu, who had finished practicing the exercises early in the morning, yawned and instead of going back to catch up on sleep, he started walking around alone.
The money was still not enough to spend. The speed of saving money just by buying steamed buns was obviously a bit too slow. He had to find another way. Walking along the street, Yang Dongxu looked at both sides of the street while thinking.
There are undoubtedly shops on both sides of the street. Compared with the lifelessness at the beginning of the year, a few of the storefronts that used to be used for sleeping and living are now open for business. But what they sell are some popular goods, such as grain, chicken, fish, meat and eggs.
Occasionally there are some shops selling pastries, or braised vegetables and roast duck, but the business is average. In this day and age, people's biggest wish is to have enough to eat. Not many people pay attention to eating carefully, so business will naturally not be much better.
After walking for a while, Yang Dongxu saw a barber shop. Looking at the clippers that still needed to be used with hands, Yang Dongxu shook his head and walked forward. Then he turned around and walked back.
He also knows how to shave his head because his grandfather did this and he learned this craft before he was reborn. But after looking at the heads of several customers in the store, which seemed to be printed from the same mold, he couldn't help but shook his head and turned around to leave again.
Although opening a barber shop is also a good choice, even if his skills are not master-level, it is not difficult to have a prosperous business with the haircuts in his mind.
However, the time is a little wrong now. Although reform and opening up was proposed in 1978, this policy was in vain due to the shortcomings of the system and the hesitation of the people.
Therefore, although he has many fashionable hairstyles in his mind, even Shamat can create them, but they are not in line with today's people's aesthetics. It would actually be a troublesome thing to do, so this business will have to wait a few years for a great man to put this current slogan into practice.
After walking some distance, Yang Dongxu's eyes lit up when he saw a bicycle repair shop next to him. These days, if you want to buy a bicycle, you need a ticket. It is obviously a good way to buy the parts and assemble it yourself before selling it.
As for assembling a bicycle, does he know how to do it? Just kidding, this is his old business, okay? Not just bicycles, there are enough parts for Yang Dongxu to assemble tape recorders, televisions, washing machines and so on. He actually dealt with these things before he was thirty years old.
Yang Dongxu was very happy to find a good path, but his brows furrowed. Although buying parts to assemble a bicycle is a way to make money, how to get the parts is a problem.
While a ticket is required to purchase the bike, parts are not. But it's not easy to get parts in large quantities, and the money he needs is not a small amount. If he only sells two or three bicycles, it won't be enough to fill his teeth.
Returning to the small courtyard for lunch at noon, Yang Dongxu told Old Man Xuan this plan.
"Can you really assemble a bicycle?" Old Man Xuan looked at Yang Dongxu as if he were a mascot.
"It's so strange that I knew how to do this when I was five years old. In my hometown, my grandpa did this, you know?" Yang Dongxu curled his lips at Old Man Xuan's doubts.
Old man Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at Yang Dongxu's words, as long as they had a source. According to his observations during this period, Yang Dongxu seemed to know a little bit about everything, even if he only had a partial understanding, it was extremely inconsistent with his age.
If another person suddenly appeared who could assemble a bicycle, he would really doubt whether the kid in front of him was really the kind of person who could become a saint, or whether he was the reincarnation of the Western Lama Living Buddha or something. As for how the reincarnation of the Living Buddha ended up in Yangjiacun, he had not thought about it carefully.
"Which repair shops can't sell parts from?" Old Man Xuan asked.
"It's available, but if it's in large quantities, it's going to be eye-catching, right? Besides, it's also a question of who to sell it to after it's assembled. That's what I thought. I asked about the price of the parts, and it only costs about 70 yuan to assemble a bicycle." I’ll sell it for 150. I don’t care how much the person who gets the bicycle sells it.” Yang Dongxu explained his plan.
"Will anything happen if you do this?" Old Man Xuan was still a little worried.
"There is definitely a bit of risk, but if we don't show up, the risk will be much smaller. If we can find the person who issued the ticket, there will be no risk at all. After all, the bicycle really did not cut corners, and the ticket issued is also genuine. This makes Others don’t feel reassured when buying it. Without a receipt, they would think the bike was stolen.”
"So you came to me to ask me to help you find ways to purchase and ship goods?" Old Man Xuan stared at Yang Dongxu with an unkind look, "Do you think the Taoist priests in this temple can help?"
"Hey, of course I'm not asking them to help. Aren't you Mr. Xuan? You must know a lot of people. Besides, I'm a little brat who can't talk much, and I can't do things well if I don't have a hairy mouth. Even if I say I can assemble a bicycle, it won't matter. People's hearts are not the same, so I still need your help to cover up." Yang Dongxu showed his usual silly smile to hide his embarrassment.
"You must have been beaten to death by me in your last life, and you are here to collect debts in this life."
