Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

When the old lady heard what Li Jingshen said, she immediately smiled and said:

"Young man, you guys really know how to do business. Okay. I'll open a shop for you. I'll buy two pounds first. I have relatives coming to visit."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll weigh it for you. I promise it'll be tall."

Zhang Yunfei said with a smile, and hurriedly weighed the fried fish for the lady.

When others saw that the shop had opened, they followed suit and started buying.

One pound, half a pound...

Half a pound...

One pound...

Soon, Zhang Yunfei and Li Jingshen sold all the more than eight kilograms of fried fish in the basin.

Holding a handful of bills in his hand, Zhang Yunfei was very happy and said:

"I never thought it would be so easy for us to make money. Next time, we must prepare more fried fish so that we can make more money."

Li Jingshen nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhang Yunfei and said:

"Should we go back now, or walk around town?"

"Of course I have to go for a walk. I haven't been to town for more than ten days."

Zhang Yunfei said without hesitation.

Li Jingshen also had this idea. Selling fish was just a transition for him.

His goal was to get his wife and the entire Jiang family out of the soon-to-be-disbanded production team as soon as possible, so they could learn how to do business sooner, gain more market awareness, and live a better life in the future.

He himself has the work of translating manuscripts, which is enough to make money, much more profitable than frying fish.

On the other hand, Li Jingshen also thought a lot last night. In his previous life, he was almost buried in his study, doing various researches all day long.

Although they have enough food and drink, they are not rich by any means.

In this life, he thought, since he was reborn and had an understanding of the future development direction, why not try doing business and build his own career?

So, he and Zhang Yunfei walked around the town together.

Zhang Yunfei is a playful person who prefers all kinds of lively places. He wanders around the supply and marketing cooperatives and farmers' markets and is very interested in all kinds of novel goods.

In addition, he was a very ethical person. Although he had a huge sum of more than eight dollars in his hand, he did not spend a penny of it.

Li Jingshen observed more carefully than he did in a cursory manner. He was secretly calculating in his mind the various emerging businesses in the town, which business was easy to do, and which business had higher profits, and making plans for his future.

They strolled around until noon, then Zhang Yunfei and Li Jingshen came to a small noodle shop. They each ordered a bowl of hot knife-cut noodles and chatted while eating.

"Brother Jingshen, I feel like you seem to be worried today. Why are you staring at the storefronts on the streets in a daze? What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Yunfei asked Li Jingshen while eating noodles.

Li Jingshen smiled and said:

"Didn't I just come back from South City? I'm not interested in the street vendors or anything like that."

Zhang Yunfei nodded and asked:

"This is just the town. Compared to South City, it's really not that interesting. There are fewer people, fewer businesses, and fewer interesting things."

"So what are you thinking about? You look like you have something on your mind?"

Xiang Yunfei continued to ask.

Li Jingshen replied:

"I'm wondering if there's any business that's suitable for me. Now that national policies have been liberalized, opportunities are everywhere. If I can find a good one, I might be able to move up the social ladder within a year."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei's eyes lit up, and then he said:

"Brother Jingshen is indeed an educated youth. He really thinks about things more deeply. In fact, at home, my father often tells me these things. He said that he went to the town for a meeting recently, and the leaders' tone has changed a lot. They encourage the villagers to participate in business activities. This world is really different from before."

"I heard that those who raise chickens can make a lot of money just by selling eggs and chicken feathers. If they are successful, their monthly income is even higher than that of workers in state-owned factories."

"If you can really do the right business, you will definitely make a fortune."

"That's the truth."

Li Jingshen nodded in agreement.

"So, do you have any good ideas? What kind of business do you want to start?"

Zhang Yunfei continued to ask curiously.

"If it were that simple, everyone would be doing business. We need to be more cautious and think long and hard about this matter."

Li Jingshen said with a smile that although he already had some plans in mind, they were not mature yet.

"Okay, Brother Jingshen, if you want to do business, be sure to tell me in advance. I also want to work with you and broaden my horizons."

Zhang Yunfei said with anticipation.

"Okay, if there's a suitable opportunity, I'll tell you."

Li Jingshen agreed readily.

Firstly, it’s because Zhang Yunfei is a smart guy.

Secondly, the Zhang family and the Jiang family are relatives.

Thirdly, Zhang Zhenming's family is well-off, and if he needs capital investment when doing business, Zhang Yunfei's joining will be a great help to him.

Furthermore, as the village chief of Xiaoxi Village, Zhang Zhenming knows many officials.

Business is half about transactions and half about relationships. I don't have much social interaction here. If you want to do business, you should make more friends and more connections.

After lunch, Zhang Yunfei wanted to go shopping, but Li Jingshen said:

"Our family is still waiting for news from us. We should go back quickly so that they can feel more at ease."

Zhang Yunfei nodded and said:

"Brother Jingshen is really thoughtful. Okay, let's go back first. I don't feel at ease shopping with so much money in my pocket."

So the two of them got on their bikes again and headed home.

An hour later, they returned to Xiaoxi Village.

At this time, the members of the sideline group were all in the yard of Jiang Guoli's house.

Even the village chief Zhang Zhenming was sitting on a millstone smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Li Jingshen and Zhang Yunfei coming back, everyone's eyes lit up and they stood up immediately.

"How's it going? Have you sold all the fish?"

Zhang Zhenming asked first.

"Sold, sold, all sold out."

Zhang Yunfei said with some pride.

"How much did it cost?"

Zhang Guoli asked curiously.

"We sell them all for one yuan per pound. The people in town don't bargain and even praise the taste of our fish."

Li Jingshen also added:

"Around ten in the morning, we sold all of the eight kilograms of fish. Then we had lunch in town before returning. Next time we go, we can bring more fish. I estimate that selling twenty kilograms a day should not be a problem."

Hearing this, everyone in the yard showed joy on their faces.
