'She also paid for it just now. It doesn't seem right for me to be eating alone like this.'
Although Meng Xiaoxing's family and Honghua's family are cousins, they don't live far away from each other. They usually move around a lot, and their relationship is relatively close. Moreover, the aunt's family has a large population, so life is much more difficult than hers.
She can still buy some candies to satisfy her cravings, but Honghua is much more miserable than her, and she may not be able to eat a few candies in a month.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoxing suddenly changed her mind and planned to take Honghua with her to secretly buy soda.
Yes, it's just secretly. My aunt knows that she has money, and she will definitely not let herself spend it randomly.
In fact, this money is the money left by Meng Xiaoxing after deducting the travel expenses. A dime is not enough to cover the travel expenses back home. Instead of going home and turning it in, it is better to reward yourself.
Although Meng Xiaoxing is a few years older than Honghua, she is only twelve years old. You cannot expect a child to have strong self-control.
The sweet and sour soda is no less attractive to children than the Fat House Happy Water of later generations.
The yard that Sanjin entered was not very big, and he arrived at Han's house soon. Li Jie didn't see Han's mother in the yard, but he saw that water was boiling on the path at the door, so the old lady probably hadn't gone far either.
.
In these days, transportation is basically based on walking, and communication is basically based on yelling. Looking for someone in the yard and yelling is the best choice.
"Mom! We are back."
Kick! Kick! Kick!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the house.
"Sister, you are here, Xing and Honghua are also here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Mother Han and my aunt were biological sisters. Although my aunt often came to catch the autumn breeze, Mother Han was not angry at all. She welcomed them in with a warm face, and then gave instructions to Li Jie.
"Chunming, there is herbal tea in the kitchen, hurry up and pour it for Auntie and the others."
"Okay, let's go now!"
The herbal tea that Han Mu mentioned was not the Cantonese herbal tea of later generations, but a simple herbal tea, just like the big bowl of tea that cost two cents a bowl on the roadside in the future, it was the kind of herbal tea.
Wait until next year, that is, 1978, when educated youths begin to return to the city in large numbers. By then, there will be more than 400,000 unemployed educated youths in Sijiu City.
These educated youths are all young people. What do young people represent? They are very angry. If they are not properly placed and protected, there will be trouble.
Each street must try its best to find ways to accommodate this group of energetic young people. Then one street cadre thought of leading the educated youth to set up a "Youth Tea Club". It was called a tea club, but it was actually a mobile stall selling large bowls of tea.
The cost of doing this is low, just put a few bowls, a few large vats, or even a few large kettles in one stall.
The price of two cents is not expensive, and ordinary people can afford it. Sijiucheng is not too big or too small. It can set up at least tens of thousands of mobile stalls. According to the standard of two people per stall, it can completely solve the problem of nearly 100,000 people.
The key to the employment problem of 100,000 people is that the big bowl of tea model can be promoted nationwide.
Later, the street cadres who founded the "Youth Tea Club" won the "National May 1st Labor Day Medal" for this, and successively established more than ten stores in department stores, clothing, aquatic products, catering, aquatic products, jewelry and jade, etc., and established group companies, which are well-known at home and abroad.
BJ's 'Lao She Teahouse' and 'Big Bowl of Tea' were all founded by him.
Although there has not yet been a large-scale wave of educated youth returning to the city, there are not many jobs. The original owner has been back for several months, and the street has not assigned any jobs. He is still unemployed at home.
Li Jie plans to contribute this idea and attract (fool) a group of people to follow him. He is not doing this to make money, and he does not like this small amount of money.
The biggest advantage of the big bowl of tea model is that it can solve a large number of employment problems. The classmates who returned to the city with the original owner still have people sweeping the streets. Selling big bowls of tea is better than sweeping the streets.
The solution to employment is to maintain stability. Li Jie does not seek profit, only fame.
Historically, Yin Shengxi led a group of unemployed young people to set up a tea stall on Qianmen Street, which caused a sensation. As a result, he appeared in newspapers and TV as a model of reform and opening up.
Yin Shengxi's starting capital was one thousand yuan, but Li Jie couldn't afford that much money at once. Now in June, in two months, the old man will make a final decision at the education work meeting and decide to resume the college entrance examination in December.
The exam officially starts.
Because the college entrance examination is resumed again after eleven years, the gap is too long. In order to take care of the candidates, the Ministry of Education has made the examination very difficult. There are four subjects in total, mathematics, Chinese, politics, physics and chemistry (history and geography), each subject is 100 points, full score.
Four hundred points.
Today's textbooks are simpler than those of later generations. Li Jie was originally a top academic figure. Compared with his contemporaries, he undoubtedly has a huge first-mover advantage. As long as he finds a few textbooks and flips through them, he will get 3890 points.
It's definitely within reach.
In this way, it will take nearly half a year to operate the big bowl of tea mode.
Li Jie plans to use three months to earn starting capital, and the remaining two months to promote Big Bowl Tea. The Big Bowl Tea model is simple and easy to replicate. He does not expect to collect franchise fees in this era. As long as there is
Just the name of the founder is enough.
If the big bowl of tea model is promoted across the country, it can solve the employment problems of nearly one million people. This reputation is more important than anything else.
Moreover, Li Jie is not afraid of being picked off. Not to mention that most officials in this era do not have such thoughts. Even if he encounters such people, Li Jie has many ways to deal with them.
If you dare to take away his credit, it is because the old man has eaten arsenic and has become impatient.
In the living room, after chatting with relatives for a while, Mother Han pulled Li Jie out and gave instructions while taking money out of her pocket.
"You go buy five cents of meat, ten pounds of noodles, and eat dumplings for dinner."
Mother Han accurately took out a dark red one-dollar note, a green lotus-colored five-cent note, a dark green two-cent note and a red one-cent note from the pile, and handed Li Jie a total of one dollar and eight cents.
A pound of noodles is 18.5 cents, ten pounds of noodles is 1.85 cents, and a pound of pork is 73 cents. Fifty cents can buy 70 taels of meat. Then I will add some Chinese cabbage, which costs 4 cents a pound, and wrap it up for ten cents.
The dumplings weighing a pound of noodles are more than enough.
The total cost of buying these things was two yuan and thirty-five cents. The reason why Mother Han only gave Li Jie one yuan and eighty cents was because she included the fifty cents she gave to her son yesterday.
She is now retired and has almost no income. Her family's expenses are all paid by her children, and her youngest son is temporarily unemployed.
In addition, the aunt and the others do not bring back travel expenses every time they come. The travel expenses for three people are more than three yuan, which is not a small amount of money for the old lady.
Therefore, she has to be careful about every amount of money she spends.
Li Jie smiled coquettishly, saying that a penny was too much for the heroic man. He couldn't make fifty cents while selling vegetables, so he had to find an excuse and said that the fifty cents had already been replaced.
Mother Han looked startled when she heard this and complained a few words to him, but after nagging, she took out another fifty cent card.
