"This won't work, that won't work, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Mancang was so worried that he drank another glass of wine.
“Now I have to open my own shop to sell mutton!”
"What kind of store should I open?"
"I sell mutton soup, mutton dumplings, and mutton steamed buns. I have a secret recipe. I will let you try it some other day. It tastes very good. There will be no problem opening the store."
Wang Mancang finally laughed after hearing this. Wang Manyin's cooking skills are very reassuring. He can make home-cooked dishes that are more delicious than others.
"Manyin, the furniture factory is no longer open? Are you planning to open a store?"
"What kind of store should I open? If I want to open a store, I have already opened a store. I will provide you with the secret recipe. You can find someone to open the store. We will discuss how to invest and how to allocate the store."
"What kind of person are you looking for?"
"If you can cook, stew meat, and your knife skills are okay, leave everything else to me. Brother Mancang, this is a profitable business. Think more about your own people. Ask my sister-in-law. If she is willing, she can be considered a sister-in-law.
.”
"Hey, let me ask your sister-in-law, Man Yin, if she opens a store, where will she open it?"
"Shige Festival, Mijia Town, anywhere will do. If sister-in-law is willing, sister-in-law can directly go to Yuanxi County with you to open a store."
"Can I make money?"
Wang Mancang was obviously moved.
"Remove the word "?" for me. If you are afraid of not making money, let me do the investment. You ask your sister-in-law to help me look after the store, and I will pay my sister-in-law a salary and dividends."
"No, no, how can I let you Man Yin take the risk alone? I still have some responsibility."
A rural politician is also a politician. He obviously doesn't want to give up profits, but when he says it, he is still very beautiful.
"That's right, the children are grown up. You have been in the county town recently. My sister-in-law has nothing to do at home. I might as well go to the county town with you. Otherwise, you are in the city alone and want to help me find a sister-in-law.
duck?"
…
After having that drink, I decided to open a shop in order to sell the Gu Guan Village mutton.
Wang Mancang found all of his own people. One was Wang Youcai's mother-in-law, and Aunt Guihua chose to open a shop during the Stone Ge Festival.
One is also a relative of the Wang family, Aunt Juanzi, whose natal family is from Mijia Town, and she returned to Mijia Town to open a shop.
After the autumn harvest, we began to open a store, and all the matters of opening a store were left to the gentlemen.
Wang Manyin took three women with him to train them on how to cook meat and make soup.
With the seasoning provided by Wang Manyin, the three women can operate it like a fool and still get a decent taste.
Aunt Guihua, the Mancang family's sister-in-law, was Wang Manyin's own, so it was difficult to treat her differently, so Aunt Juanzi also took advantage, and Wang Manyin only had 30% of the shares in providing the seasonings.
Of course, the initial investment is also allocated according to shares. In fact, the investment is very small. Just rent a house and simply decorate it to make it clean and hygienic.
Repair a few stoves and buy some pots and pans.
For tables, chairs, and benches, Wang Manyin also helped him add some orders.
In less than half a month, three stores were opened one after another. If you can cook home-cooked dishes, you can open a restaurant. Wang Manyin's cooking skills are really a bit bullying when used in these small places.
Wang Manyin insisted on providing the seasonings himself, and he did not mean to be stingy with the seasoning formula for the three families.
But for the purpose of selling mutton in the Jar Village, the formula must not be allowed to spread.
Except for Wang Manyin, no one in these families could keep the recipe secret at all.
The core technology of opening a store is the seasoning formula, which is handed over to others.
Relatives pass on to relatives, friends pass on to friends, even if an individual can open a shop, how can he sell the mutton from Gugang Village?
Winter is indeed a good time to drink mutton soup and eat mutton. Business has been booming since the store opened.
In addition to fine-tuning the seasoning formula from time to time according to the situation, Wang Manyin can just sit back and wait to receive money.
On the New Year's Day of 1981, until Liu Genmin and Xu Zhigong came to Wang Manyin's house, life in Wang Manyin's family was very peaceful.
"Director Xu, Deputy Director Liu, our family is really not a leading household."
After hearing the two people's intentions, Wang Manyin immediately refused.
It's New Year's Day, and it's time for the four cadres meeting of the county organization, village captain, party secretary, village director, township cadres, and county cadres.
In the past, the content of the Four Cadres Meeting was to criticize capitalism, but times are changing. This year's Four Cadres Meeting has more content to commend those who have made a fortune.
Although Zhang Youzhi, the county leader, does not strongly agree with such activities, other surrounding counties are doing it, including Yuanxi County.
So Zhang Youzhi handed over the commendation to Ma Guoxiong, the county's second-in-command.
In accordance with the decision of the Standing Committee, Ma Guoxiong held a conference call as early as New Year's Day and asked each commune to nominate leading households.
The standard for a top household is an annual income of 10,000 catties of grain or 5,000 yuan of cash.
There is no limit to the number of places in each commune. They can nominate as many as they can, but they cannot not have even one person.
In addition to being paraded in the county, the top households will also be rewarded with a sewing machine.
Of course it was a good thing, but this incident directly stumped Xu Zhigong and Liu Genmin.
After discussing it for a while, the two of them couldn't find any prominent households in the Shige Festival.
Don’t worry about the annual output of 10,000 kilograms. Every household in the Shige Festival counts as one household, and no one can achieve that.
I could only think of ways to earn an annual income of 5,000 yuan, but I could barely think of a family, the upstart Jin Fu from Shuangshui Village, who would definitely be able to achieve that annual income.
However, Jin Fu's income did not come from any righteous source. The two of them were afraid of reporting Jin Fu's income, so they ended up making a joke.
In the end, the two people picked back and forth and decided that only Wang Manyin, who ran a factory, and Sun Shaoan, who was engaged in transportation, could have an annual income of five thousand yuan.
The two of them had nothing to do in the commune, so they decided to visit the homes of two families.
"Wang Manyin, look at your family. You have cows, pigs, and dozens of sheep. You also run a furniture factory. You sell clothes and open restaurants. Your family doesn't even earn 5,000 yuan a year?"
"Xu Zhishu, this is really not the case. Although I do a lot, I actually don't make any money at all. Let alone five thousand yuan. My family can earn five hundred yuan a year, which is pretty good."
Wang Manyin's principle has always been to keep a low profile and not to stand out.
It's too late to keep a low profile. I don't want to go to the county town and be paraded through the streets.
Wang Manyin's business is not that formal. At least Wang Manyin's business has a variety of businesses that add up to a lot of people.
Although some process in their own homes, and some work in partnerships, Wang Manyin is more or less on the sidelines.
As long as you keep quiet about getting rich, the villagers may think that Wang Manyin's family earns a little more than themselves, so they won't be jealous.
If Wang Manyin goes to the county town to show off, people will know that Wang Manyin can earn more than 5,000 yuan a year.
If the income gap is too large, you will definitely attract the jealousy of villains, which is asking for trouble.
