Two days later, Maomu pulled a cart with a cart of juma piled high on it. Looking from a distance, no people or carts could be seen at all, and he could only see a hill moving by itself.
It quickly attracted everyone's attention, everyone exclaimed, and countless people came to see this novel scene.
Someone is well-informed and can explain it to others.
"That's a frame cart. Did you see it? I walked over and saw two tracks of the wheels on the ground. That cart can be loaded so much. It doesn't weigh down so much hemp. It can be pulled by one person. It's much more than what I'm carrying on my back. many."
"That's not true. If there is a carriage, who would bother to carry it? It must be pulled by a carriage."
"This is the first time I heard about a stand truck. How come it suddenly appeared? It looks like a great thing. I want one too."
"That's the latest one made by the laboratory. I heard that the arbitration tribunal has agreed to make more. I wonder if we can buy one."
"Even if you can buy it, it's very expensive. Not everyone can afford it."
"That's not necessarily true. Our family works hard to make money, so we can always afford it. I'm afraid we won't sell it."
…
In less than two hours, the prestige of the stand truck had spread throughout Sun City. Everyone praised it and went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the laboratory to inquire about the news.
Lin Yan was weeding in the wheat field, while Huahong and Jinzai were busy harvesting juma.
They used sickles to cut off the juma and pile it up, waiting for the rough wood to be hauled on a frame cart.
To carry the juma from several acres of land to the house requires countless trips by manpower. With a frame truck, it can be hauled back in three or four trips.
Jin Zai wanted to pull the cart himself, and Lin Yan agreed.
While Mao Mu pulled the frame truck into the field and helped load it up, Jin Zai put the straps in place and walked forward with his waist hunched over.
When I met someone on the road and saw Jin Zai, I quickly asked, "How are you feeling? Are you tired?"
"Fortunately, I can pull it without too much effort."
Jin Zai didn't look like he was exerting any effort, so someone suggested that he want to try it himself.
Jin Zai looked at Lin Yan. They were helping him push the cart from behind.
Lin Yan nodded.
Jin Zai got out of the way, and the people who wanted to pull the cart changed one by one and pulled a certain distance, looking at the frame cart with even more intense eyes.
After all the juma was collected and while having dinner in the evening, Jin Zai asked: "Can I buy a shelf cart? How much does it cost?"
"Dad, you want a bicycle?" Lin Yan looked up, a little surprised. This was the first time that Jin Zai offered to buy something.
Jin Zai nodded, "The stand truck is practical. If you can buy one, it can be used for pulling anything. If you and your mother don't want to walk, I can pull you out."
Huahong smiled, "I'm not too old to walk yet."
"Mom, dad was kind and didn't say you were old."
Jin Zai hurriedly said, "That's right, it's convenient to have a car." He looked at Lin Yan expectantly.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I'll be able to buy a car this year. It's just been launched, and I can't make a few in a year. It probably won't be sold to private individuals. Let's wait until next year. It's expected that a car will cost at least 2 yuan."
Jin Zai looked at Hua Hong, "Can our family afford it?"
Huahong thought about the poor savings at home and shook his head. I finally saved some money and bought clothes for Jin Zai. I also need to buy some farm tools, etc. There is not much left.
"When the work at home is finished, I will bake bricks to earn money."
The smelter can earn more, but there are many people there and it's not his turn.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Huahong agreed. After having Jinzi, the work at home can be done quickly, and both of them can go out and make money.
Lin Yan didn't care about them, he could do whatever he wanted.
They are all in good health and can do some work. Judging from their enthusiasm for making money, they probably won’t listen to the advice.
Having goals is a good thing, just let them work hard on their own.
Neither Huahong nor Jinzai thought that Lin Yan was a rich man. She gets a monthly salary and a bonus. The oil mill also pays dividends.
Lin Yan's money was usually not used very much, so she kept it.
The money I spent before was on clothes and shoes, and there was no place to spend anymore.
She thought that Sun City was too backward and there was no place for consumption. When there are all kinds of shops and restaurants in the future, it will be like now, with no place to spend the money.
Ju Ma was taken back and the work was completed in mid-March. Huahong sold all the flax for money, and went to work with Jinzi to earn money.
Lin Yan was either in the laboratory or wandering around the wheat field, and didn't care what they were doing.
It’s just that no one at home cooks on time, so she has to cook it herself. Lin Yan felt it was too inconvenient. It would be nice if there was a restaurant.
It's okay to cook a meal occasionally, but it's really not possible to ask her to cook on time and on time every day. So, she asked Huahong to cook more every morning when she was ready to eat. She would heat it up and eat it when she came back at noon.
How could Hua Hong be willing to let Lin Yan suffer injustice? He wanted to ask Mrs. Mao to help him cook for Lin Yan.
Lin Yan rolled his eyes and said flatteringly: "The food cooked by grandma is delicious. Why not open a restaurant and cook the food at home. If anyone wants to eat, they will come and buy it. You can also make money."
Nowadays, everyone in the city eats at home, and there are no places to eat outside. If the bonus can be the first, it may be a profitable business.
Lin Yan had long discovered that the same thing made by Hua Hong was much more delicious than what she made. This may be a personal talent, which I cannot envy.
Huahong is not good at weaving and spinning, but she is talented at cooking. Nowadays, there are only a few types of food. People in the city are so busy that there are many people who have no time to cook.
Huahong was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously and said, "Can it really make money?"
It is much easier to cook at home than to go to the kiln. If she can make money, she will definitely choose the easy way.
"You can try it. Aniang, if you think about the number of people in the city, there are always people who are too busy to cook, and there are also people who don't want to cook. If Aniang opens a restaurant, these people will have a place to eat. Of course I will. Provide money. When the business gets better and I get too busy, my father will stay at home to help."
Huahong was persuaded, and he and Jinzai quickly prepared the ingredients and asked Lin Yan to carve a sign on a wooden board, Huahong Restaurant, and hang it outside the door.
Let Jinzi go to Lao Hei to buy dishes and other utensils, and she went door to door to promote her restaurant.
After five days of preparation, Huahong Restaurant was opened.
The kitchen is from home, with a few tables and stools placed in the yard. There is a sign hanging at the door of the kitchen with the menu and prices clearly visible at a glance.
A plate of stir-fried rat and rabbit costs 2 cents, and a small bowl of broth comes free; a large bowl of broth costs 1 cent; barbecued meat costs 1 cent and 5 skewers; and a plate of scrambled eggs costs 2 cents.
The curious onlookers pointed at the menu, and someone asked loudly: "How come the barbecue is still sold on skewers? What does it look like?"
"That's right, I've never heard of barbecue being sold like this."
Usually, everyone grills barbecue on an iron plate or stone plate, or directly on the fire.
Huahong smiled and said: "That's a skewer. The meat is skewered on wooden skewers and grilled on the charcoal fire."
This is a new way of eating that Lin Yan found. He said it was to increase the selling point of the bonus restaurant.
Hua Hong doesn’t know much about it, but he only knows that something he has never seen before will definitely attract people.
