Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"That's the truth. I'm afraid that as time goes on, it will be hard to pay attention no matter how much you don't want to pay attention."

“Let’s not talk about whether it’s difficult or not, let’s just do this holiday.

Anyway, the kids have nothing to do during the holidays at home, so let them get up early and just treat it as physical exercise."

"Alright, I think we should let them go before dawn instead of in the middle of the night!

If someone asks you about this, just say that it is a habit that the children have developed since childhood.

Anyway, even if we don’t talk about it, the two children will get up early to run.”

"That's true. That's why we have to get up early to make dumplings."

"What's that?

Don’t do this in the living room next time, let’s do it in our room!

However, I'm afraid the neighbors in the yard will not hide the noise made by chopping stuffing in the middle of the night.

We can fool them once or twice, but if it happens too often, they will start to get suspicious even if we don't say anything.

What if someone were to squat in the corner of our house in the middle of the night to find out what was going on? "

"No way?"

"No one can say such things."

“Yeah, so what else can you do besides making buns?

Wait, let me think about it!

What do you think of pancakes?

In this way, apart from making the dough, you don't have to chop the stuffing, so the noise is relatively small, and you don't have to do anything else."

"That's fine. We can not only make sugar cakes, but also shortbread. The shortbread you make is also delicious."

"That's right, then how about we try the pancakes first?"

"Just give it a try. Anyway, I have nothing to do these days except work. You can bake some first, and I'll get up early and go to the train station to try it out and see."

"Is this too tiring?"

"What are you tired of?

Don’t be fooled by the size of a university library. It’s actually not tiring at all. To put it bluntly, working in a library has nothing to do with retirement.”

"so good?"

"is not that right?

And we really have to thank Lao Li very much. If he hadn't stepped in, my family might not agree to move here with my seniority.

It seems that seniority is of little use now, but who knows if it will be useful in the future.”

"Yes, I have to thank them properly. By the way, did they tell me how much they are paid per month?"

"You know what? I've been teaching for more than ten years. I started out teaching in the production team, but since I started teaching in the commune, I've gotten excellent grades every year and I've also been actively studying. By the time I left the commune school, my monthly salary had risen to 33 yuan."

"That's right. You have never fallen behind in your studies over the years, and you have also been very active at work. It would be a bit unreasonable if you don't get a raise.

Fortunately, when you were in the team, everyone thought that your monthly salary was only 27 yuan.

How could they know that if they work hard and are more proactive, their salary will increase? "

"That's right, I can only say that they are short-sighted."

"Yeah, what about now?"

“Now, what to say?

I thought that after moving back to Beijing, the first job I would get would only be a temporary worker's salary.

Even if you are a formal employee, you only earn about 20 yuan a month.

But who would have thought that Lao Li was here, and he went straight to the Personnel Department to get a transfer order certificate. "

"transfer order?"

"Yes, that's right, it's a transfer order. It's not a direct transfer from the original unit to the current unit."

"So that means the current salary has not changed?"

"It's true that it hasn't changed, but that can't be said."

"why?

Isn't your monthly salary 33 yuan? "

"Of course not. Apparently because I'm a veteran and have a disability, they gave me a raise. They said I can get 37 yuan a month when I get my salary."

"so much?"

"That's right. But then again, no matter how much the salary increases, it's still not as much as when I worked at the post office."

"How can you say that? Why don't you think about this? We have lived in the countryside for so many years, and apart from some necessities, we have rarely spent money on anything else.

On the contrary, those comrades in the post office, although their monthly salary is not small, how much can they save after deducting food and drink? "

"Yes, let's not talk about other things for now. Just talk about the food. Not only do we need tickets, we also need money."

"That's right. Fortunately, I can do some small business now. I don't want to make a lot of money, but I should have no problem making a little money."

"That's right. I won't say too much. Even if I make a dime a day, it's still a profit."

"Look at what you're talking about. It's so hot, and you only make ten cents a day. You might as well just stay at home and cool off."

"Yes, by the way, you can make the dough rise after dinner tonight, and I will try it before dawn tomorrow."

"Would you like to take a break?

After all, we just moved here not long ago? "

"No, even though I'm working in a university library, I'm not tired at all. After lunch, I can take a nap if I have nothing to do."

"Yes, that's fine, I'll prepare the filling for the shortbread now.

How much should we sell these two kinds of cakes for?"

“How much is one?

Not to mention that it was such a hot day, the cakes we had were filled with either sugar or ghee, and they were sold at the railway station, so there was no chance of asking for food coupons.

现在国营饭店一个白面馒头3两2分钱一个，二合面馒头3两1分钱一个，杂粮馒头3两1分钱两个。

Even though it is so cheap, we still need food coupons. We don’t need food coupons, but we can make white flour first based on the weight!

Since you don’t want tickets, then I’ll give you 10 cents for a white flour bun.”

“Isn’t one dime too expensive?”

"What's so expensive?

Don’t you even take a look at where we are planning to sell it?

That's a train station. If you want to eat, who cares about the money? "

"That's true, but you can't just grab them with your bare hands when they're being sold. I remember that we have saved some of the oil paper that our family used in the past. I'll sort them out later and bring them with me.

No matter how many the other party buys, we will wrap them with oil paper.

This also makes it clean and hygienic, and easy to hold.”

"Okay, let's not just focus on making pancakes with white flour. We can also make pancakes with two-grain flour or multi-grain flour."

"Okay, what's the price?"

"Price?

The price is calculated like this: a 5-gram flour pancake is 5 cents each, and a mixed grain pancake is cents for two."

“Okay, no problem, let’s try making a little less white flour first.

If it is suitable, we will make some of both and see which ones sell well, and then adjust according to the sales situation. "

“Actually, no need. Even though everyone is in a hurry to catch the train, there may not be many truly wealthy people.

You might as well make thirty pancakes tonight, and after the two children are on vacation, make twenty pancakes for each with white flour, forty pancakes for each with two-grain flour, and forty pancakes for each with whole grain flour.
