Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

While everyone was discussing this, Yuanchun squeezed in front of the team leader and said excitedly, "Team leader, I want to go to the county to do business. I am the only woman in my family, and I can't support four children with the work points I earn, so I want to do business to earn some money to supplement the family income."

"Captain, I want to sell braised food, braised eggs, braised chicken, braised meat, whatever. I'm a pretty good cook, and I believe that as long as I can make it, there will be people who will buy it, so I want to buy eggs and chickens from our village. The price will follow the market price, and I won't take advantage of the villagers."

Before the captain could reply, Grandma Li slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "Oh, Yuanchun, I didn't expect that the first person who wanted to go out to do business would be you. You are really good, better than some of the masters. Look at our village, these masters don't even dare to think about going to the county town to try their luck."

"Daqiang's mother, my family just saved up thirty eggs. I'll send them to you later."

"I have 25 of them at home, too. I am saving them to sell at the market before the New Year. Since Yuanchun is buying them, I will sell them to her."

Soon, more than a dozen aunties and ladies came to sell eggs. Yuanchun smiled and said, "Then you can send them all to my house. Eggs are five cents each and chickens are two yuan each. The price is the same regardless of size."

Pork is only one yuan per pound at this time, and a local chicken weighs about three pounds. Excluding the chicken feathers and internal organs, it weighs about two pounds. The price of two yuan offered by Yuanchun is relatively high.

Immediately, several middle-aged women came saying that they had a few big roosters to sell.

When Yuanchun returned home, there were several anxious aunts and grandmas waiting for her at the gate of the yard with baskets and chickens in their hands.

Yuanchun counted them one by one, put them away, and then paid them one by one. After the aunties and ladies received the money, they left with a smile on their faces. "Yuanchun, I will bring you more eggs when I collect them again."

Yuanchun saved them the time of going to the market to sell their goods, and the aunts and ladies were very grateful to Yuanchun.

Since Yuanchun had decided to do business, she acted quickly. The next day, she borrowed a bicycle from the team leader's house, went to the county town, spent 800 yuan, and bought a building with two shops in the front, a large yard, and four large blue brick and tile houses in the back.

What Yuanchun liked most was that there was a well in the yard, so that when she processed the raw materials for braised food in the future, she would not have to run a long way to the public well to jump into the water.

After buying the house and getting the key, Yuanchun secretly placed a whole set of half-new and half-used ordinary furniture, as well as some pots, pans, and other utensils into the empty house.

The next day, Yuanchun borrowed an ox cart from the brigade and sent her four children, several large bags of luggage, the purchased eggs, and dozens of chickens she raised at home to the county town.

She also used the space to secretly transport a batch of firewood to the house in the county town.

In this way, Yuanchun opened a braised food store and a fast food restaurant in the county town in a hurry, using both shops of her own.

Her fast food restaurant only offers eight dishes per meal, six hot dishes and two cold dishes, including both meat and vegetarian dishes. The staple foods are two kinds of rice, sorghum rice, and millet rice.

In the braised food shop, there are braised eggs, braised chicken, braised pork heads, and various braised pork offal.

There is a middle school not far from her store. After class, students would come in to take a look at the newly opened store out of curiosity. As a result, Yuanchun's fast food restaurant business is very popular.

The people who come to eat are all students.

Some teachers also came to eat.

After get off work, the teachers would come to Yuanchun’s braised meat shop and buy some braised meat to eat with wine.
