519 Opening a Store 1

It is now May 1973, and Chen Xiayue's third sister-in-law has been pregnant for six months. Then Chen Xiayue got the news and opened the market.

In official history, reform and opening up was in December 1978, and now it is May 1973, and the documents on reform and opening up were released.

In fact, the documents were issued at the beginning of 1973, and the market was opened in February.

However, the first markets to open were Guangdong Province and Shanghai, the capital, namely Chen Xiayue and others, so in three months, they could finally run a private business without worrying about being arrested on the charge of speculation.

Chen Xiayue was quite interested. She originally planned to open a restaurant, but her cooking skills were still very good. Later, after thinking about it, she could not compare with several excellent cooking skills in the county, such as her father Chen Mingying, her uncle Zhao, and her third brother Chen Xiahua.

Although Chen Mingying is very well treated in the food factory and will not leave and become an individual, Chen Xiahua also followed Chen Mingying's footsteps. However, Uncle Zhao is a chef in a state-owned hotel. Chen Xiayue is a little worried about whether her cooking skills can be pried to customers from Uncle Zhao's hands.

But Chen Xiayue thought about it and thought that Uncle Zhao’s state-owned hotel should be a regular meal or something. What if her small shop made breakfast or something?

It just so happened that her house in the county town had been built, and now neither Chen Mingying nor Chen Xiayue's brothers have moved in.

Chen Xiasong and his wife are college teachers in Yangcheng. The second brother went to work in the machinery factory in the provincial capital, and the third brother lived in the house of his third sister-in-law. Chen Mingying and Li Guifen, who are both employees of the food factory, both live in the house assigned by the unit. The house they bought newly built by the land was really no one lived in.

Chen Xiayue looked at Hu Xiaofang and the others beside her and said in a straightforward manner, "Sister-in-law Xiaofang, do you want to go to the county town to go with my 11th cousin?"

"Hmm?" Hu Xiaofang looked at Chen Xiayue in confusion and said, "I want to go to the county town. It's good to live in the county town. But... your cousin still lives in the collective dormitory. Where can I stay there?"

"Living on my house." Chen Xiayue said, "Didn't I ask my parents to buy a house before? No one lives in it now. If you want to go to the county town, you can go there."

"I plan to open a small shop in the house over there to make food. I make breakfast such as buns, steamed buns, porridge, etc. in the morning, then stir-fry dishes at noon, and make some regular meals at night."

"If you want to go, you can go there." Chen Xiayue herself would definitely not be able to open a store for 12 hours a day, so she had to find a few people to help her.

Just like Hu Xiaofang, Huang Qiuyu and the others, they have often learned how to cook good food from Chen Xiayue over the past seven years. Chen Xiayue believes that her cousin's sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good. Although they are not as good as her, they are not much worse.

You should know that their county is not the small county town it used to be. Now it is not only the food factory has expanded, but also the machinery factory has expanded.

Later, another car factory was built in the county town one after another, which was divided after the expansion of the machinery factory. Now this car factory has also been expanded, and the scale is still very good.

Although there are only three factories in the county town, namely the food factory, the machinery factory and the car factory, they are actually quite large and have not few workers. If you open a store in the county town, it is not considered a lack of business, and there are still quite a lot of people in the county town.

You should know that the county town is now relatively prosperous, with many workers working there, and there are also several schools in primary schools, junior high schools, and high schools, and there are also many students.

Chen Xiayue believes that after the market is completely opened in the future and various merchants join one after another, the county town will become more prosperous.

Of course, the house bought by Chen Xiayue’s mother’s house is not close to the food factory and the machinery factory, but she believes that opening a store is not without business. She remembers that when she went to the county town to see her sister-in-law, she heard that they planned to expand their new house.

Chen Xiayue believes that in the near future, more and more businesses will be more and more money, and when everyone makes more and more money, there will definitely be many people who build commercial housing. With more permanent residents, there will be no worries about opening a store.

"Can it work? Open a store to sell food?" Hu Xiaofang was really worried. Although she heard Chen Xiayue say that the market has been opened now and there is no need to worry about being reported and speculated in some small businesses, she is still worried that she can't sell things.

Don’t the workers still have a canteen to eat? Especially the canteen in the food factory, which was handled by Chen Xiayue’s father and his third brother. Hu Xiaofang is not unaware of their cooking skills.

Can people from the food factory eat the delicacies made by Chen Xiayue’s father and brother who have been eating so long? Can they still like ordinary food sold outside? Hu Xiaofang has no confidence in her cooking skills. She doesn’t think her cooking skills can compete with Chen Xiayue’s father and brother.

"Why can't it?" Chen Xiayue said with a smile, "Even if my dad and my third brother are in charge of the food factory canteen, you have to know that there are only a few people with superb cooking skills. How many workers in the food factory? Not everyone can eat super delicious food, and not anyone can eat enough of it."

"And so what if I often eat foods made by my father and brother? I still have to eat what people outside make to improve their taste."

"Sister-in-law, I believe your cooking skills are pretty good. For breakfast, we will make buns, steamed dumplings and spices, which are convenient for eating. You can also make some porridge." Chen Xiayue said to Hu Xiaofang happily, "You can also make rice noodles, and the taste is also very good."

Hu Xiaofang was moved by Chen Xiayue. She really wanted to go to the county town. Her man worked in the county town and she stayed in the village. In fact, she felt uncomfortable.

Even though she believed that her man would not look down on her, a bad wife just because she had a good job, she still wanted to meet her man frequently. Her children also wanted to see her father frequently, and she wanted to be by his side.

Of course, Huang Qiuyu and Wu Hongmei and the others also really want to go, but among the sisters-in-law, Hu Xiaofang, Huang Qiuyu and He Qingmei, the cooking skills are the best. Wang Minglan, the sister-in-law, has a good cooking skills, but it is the same as Zhang Chengyan who did not take the recruitment exam in the machinery factory. As the eldest granddaughter-in-law, she has to stay at home.

After all, her man stays at home, so she has to stay here, right?

Wang Minglan doesn't yearn for the outside world very much. Her son Zhang Guocheng is preparing to take the college entrance examination this year. She just hopes that her son can get into college, so she doesn't care about anything else.

Under Chen Xiayue's persuasion, Hu Xiaofang, Huang Qiuyu, He Qingmei, Liu Chunxue, Wu Hongmei, Zhao Qiuju and others occasionally went to help with such a lineup to decide on opening a store.

Chen Xiayue rented the house to Huang Qiuyu and the others. After the rent was negotiated, they would wait until they opened a store and make money before paying it. Now they can owe it first.

Chen Xiayue can provide food, such as food. After all, there are a lot of foods such as flour and rice flour.

After the discussion was made, after harvesting the rice in May, Huang Qiuyu and the others went to Chen Xiayue's house in the county town to pack up their things and prepare to open a shop.
