Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

"By the way, there's something I've always wanted to discuss with you but never had time to talk about it. I just wanted to talk to you about it today." Peng Wanhua said while sitting on the bluestone board.

"Brother, just tell me anything." Zhang Bin said.

"Do you know Nian Guangjiu?" Peng Wanhua asked.

Zhang Bin thought for a while, "The one with stupid melon seeds?"

After all, he was the person named and protected by Comrade Xiaoping. In an era when households with ten thousand yuan were a luxury, Nian Guangjiu had already become a household with one million yuan. It was even on the national news at that time. How could he not know that Zhang Bin had been at the foot of the capital?

"Yes, he and I are fellow villagers. Do you think there is a market for fried melon seeds in Beijing?" Peng Wanhua continued to ask.

Zhang Bin replied: "That's for sure. These days melon seeds are a rare commodity with a limited supply. My family only bought one and a half kilograms per person during the Chinese New Year. They are sold on the street, and they are very expensive."

"Do you think we can do it?" Peng Wanhua asked. Seeing that he was lost in thought, he continued, "You don't have to worry about the cost, and you don't have to worry about the secret recipe. The main thing is to make it according to the method I provided, and then sell it."

Zhang Bin saw that the two major problems had been solved. If he didn't seize this opportunity, it would probably not be such a good thing in the future. "Of course it can be done, but there is another problem: it is not easy to buy raw melon seeds."

"What's so difficult about this? Go to the grain station and keep an eye on it. The melon seeds, peanuts, and chestnuts are all ripe now. Someone will definitely send them to the grain station to sell them. Are you afraid that you won't be able to buy them if you pay more?" Peng Wanhua said, "Yes. Not only melon seeds, but also how to cook chestnuts and peanuts is all in my mind, you can ask me."

When Zhang Bin heard this, he suddenly felt that all the blocking points were cleared, and said happily: "Brother, if I can't handle this again, then I will be a fool, I will prepare now!"

"Don't panic, come on, I'll give you the capital first." Peng Wanhua took out a stack of big unity and handed it to him, "I will pay for this business, and we will split the money in half."

"Brother, this is not possible. You have provided money, ideas and secret recipes. How can I be [-]-[-] with you?" Zhang Bin disagreed, "And the money you gave me before has not been spent yet. "

"You accept them all and count them all together. Although I have contributed more in the front, it is up to you to organize the rest. Also, your place is small, and all production is done in this yard. It is best to bring in a few more people to work together, otherwise Frying melon seeds will exhaust you to death."

"Okay!" Zhang Bin was very excited.

The market for roasted seeds and nuts in Beijing is bigger than that in Wuzhou. Nian Guangjiu became a millionaire thanks to Wuzhou. With the huge market in Beijing, households worth tens of millions of dollars can look forward to it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin was so excited that he wanted to take off.

Peng Wanhua handed him a piece of paper with some things to buy written on it, "Buy these things first, remember to keep them secret."

Although the production method was commonplace in later generations, it is still a secret that is not passed down at this time.

He plans to trial-produce a batch and sell them to see the market.

Zhang Bin nodded, folded it and put it close to his body.

Within two days, melon seeds and all the tools and accessories were ready.

In the following days, Peng Wanhua, in addition to attending classes, came here to guide Zhang Bin in making roasted seeds and nuts.

"The first step is to wash it before frying...the second step is to add the secret ingredient, and then Baizhuo to infuse the flavor. Although Baizhuo said it is a bit exaggerated, this step is actually the most important...The last step is to dry or fry it.

Stir-frying is a laborious task, and there is no skill involved. It's just about making it heat evenly. If you do it too much in the future, bring a few people in together and let them do the frying work. "

Peng Wanhua personally demonstrated and explained to Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin listened carefully and took a small notebook to write down everything.

"Okay brother, I know how to keep secrets like this. Once I know them well and memorize them in my mind, I will burn the small book and never reveal your secret recipe. When I am too busy later, I will recruit people to help cook it. "Zhang Bin said.

The fried melon seeds are wrapped in paper of the same size. Each package is half a catty and priced at [-] yuan.

Of course, it can also be sold retail, using a small porcelain wine cup as a container, and the price is ten cents per cup.

Although it was Zhang Bin's first time selling melon seeds, he had rich experience in setting up a stall.

"Take a look and taste the freshly baked spiced melon seeds. If they don't taste good, there's no charge!" Zhang Bin set up a small stall on the edge of the park.

This place has a large flow of people, and the people who often come to the park to hang out are the adults and aunts who have some spare money. As long as something catches their eye, they don't have to worry about selling it.

"Brother, how do you sell melon seeds?" an aunt asked Zhang Bin.

She was walking around and smelled the fragrance from a distance, so she couldn't help but ask.

"One dollar and a half a pack," Zhang Bin said.

"Hey, that's not cheap!" said the aunt.

"Hey~ Look what you said, is there any cheap place selling melon seeds in the capital? You can try it. Our melon seeds are delicious and not expensive. One pack is enough for you to eat for an afternoon." Zhang Bin grabbed a small handful. Hand it to the aunt.

Auntie was addicted to it. After finishing it, she was still not satisfied, so she just bought a pack.

The first pack was sold, the second pack, the third pack...

Go with the flow.

In the evening, the sun had not yet set, and the two hundred bags of melon seeds that he had tried his hand at had been sold out. The 300 yuan was easily credited to his account, which was much faster than the money he had earned from selling large bowls of tea after working so hard.

There were others who wanted to buy it, but it was a pity that they came late.

Zhang Bin only said that he would still sell here tomorrow.

"Brother, the sales are crazy! All two hundred bags are sold out, and there are still people who want to buy but can't." Zhang Bin pushed the cart through the door, excited.

Peng Wanhua said calmly: "Based on our craftsmanship, we can predictably make money."

Zhang Bin looked at Peng Wanhua's calm and calm appearance, and immediately secretly admired him. He also imitated his attitude, not being arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat.

The next thing is even simpler, just follow the gourd and draw the scoop.

Peng Wanhua basically didn't care about anything except checking in occasionally and left everything to Zhang Bin.

Within a week, Zhang Bin was too busy.

The daily shipment volume reached thousands of packages and more than 500 kilograms of melon seeds, which he couldn't even handle even if his arm was broken.

I asked my mother, sister, and a few friends who knew the ins and outs to do it together.

Someone is responsible for making it, and someone is responsible for selling it.

Of course, he is responsible for the secret recipe alone, and the others can only do simple physical work.

His mother and sister have an easier job, they are only responsible for selling.

After all, it was a job of collecting money, so Zhang Bin wouldn't trust it if it was left to someone else.

In order to prevent others from petty theft, he bought a big book and recorded all transactions in the account book, and reconciled the accounts every three days.

……

One day Zhang Bin came to tell him that someone in the market had followed suit and started selling spiced melon seeds.

"Although the taste is not as good as ours, the price is lower than mine. There are always some who are willing to buy it." Zhang Bin said to Peng Wanhua, "Brother, how about we also lower the price?"

Peng Wanhua thought for a moment, "Lower prices? If they lower them again, will you also lower them?"

This stopped Zhang Bin. After all, the other party could continue to reduce prices.

They hurt each other, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to themselves. In the end, no one makes any money.

Why do you work so hard selling melon seeds if you can't make any money?

"Talk to the other party and ask them whether they sell it themselves or to others. After you find out, come back to me." Peng Wanhua said.

Zhang Bin nodded and went.
