Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Soon a few people sat there to discuss the matter, and in the end it was the man who spoke.

"If that doesn't work, then I'll go!

I work in the library and it’s not busy, so I can always squeeze out some time.”

"How can that be possible? The weather is getting colder and colder. Can your legs bear it?"

“So, should we give up on this deal?

You know, even if we don’t sell a lot of cakes every day, we can still make a lot of money, right? "

"How could I not know? I was just thinking, maybe I'll go later."

"Go, how can this be possible?"

"That's right, Mom. You have to get up early every day to make pancakes, and now you have to go to the train station to sell pancakes. Can your body bear it?"

"Yes?

Mom, if it really doesn't work, how about we go to the train station to sell pancakes during our winter vacation?"

"This is also a solution!"

"What about the months before winter break?

Just give up like that?"

"this?"

"Okay, I know what you want to say?

Isn't it because you feel that I'm doing it alone and you're afraid that I'll get tired?

Why don't you think that since I have this idea, I don't plan to brand too much."

"What do you mean?"

"Yes?

What's the meaning? "

"Okay, listen to me first. You have always said that besides the people coming and going on the train, the rest of the people at the train station are basically regular customers.

They all think our cakes are delicious and substantial, so they keep buying them. If that's the case, why don't I just do business with old customers?"

"You mean to sell them only the cakes?"

"Yes!

This way, I will have to make at least half as many pancakes as I want. So whether I'm making pancakes or doing something else, I'll have more time and won't be as tired, right?"

"this?"

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and that. Let's just count the money first. Let's see how much money we have earned during this period of time. Isn't that enough?"

"Too."

As they were talking, several people began to calculate the accounts for this period of time. Soon, several people gathered around the table, looking at the account book in front of them, and they had so much money.

What’s more, the two children spent a total of fifty-three days selling pancakes during the entire summer vacation.

Adding the three days that her husband worked at the beginning, it took a total of fifty-six days just to sell cakes.

For more than two months, if the weather hadn't been bad and it had rained heavily, I'm afraid it wouldn't have rained for a single day.

He first counted the money in front of him, then took the account book and calculated it carefully.

After such a careful calculation, it is really a considerable amount of money. After I finished the account, I couldn't believe my eyes.

In fifty-six days, the four people in my family earned 622 yuan. I couldn't believe it when I looked at the bundles of banknotes on the table.

Not only was she surprised, but even her husband couldn't help but say it.

"This amount of money is more than my annual salary. It's unimaginable."

Then I heard two children say.

"This is the first time I've seen so much money!"

"It's not just your first time seeing this, it's also my first time seeing this, isn't it?"

"That's right, no wonder they wanted to attack the landlords in the first place?

Look, it’s only been less than two months and we’ve made so much money just by selling pancakes.

If you do this all year round, you will become rich, right? "

"Thinking of what?

Don’t underestimate the amount of money. To be honest, this does not include food and other costs.”

"Mom, even if we deduct everything, I'm afraid we won't use more than one-third, right?"

"That's right, if we calculate based on this one-third, we still make a net profit of 415 yuan.

It’s almost my father’s annual salary. With so little money, no wonder so many people outside are taking the risk to set up stalls and do business.

So doing business is so profitable?

If I had known earlier, I would have chosen the Department of Economics when I was choosing my major. I wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink in the future.”

"If you want to change your major now, it's not too late. Why regret not choosing it in the first place?"

“What nonsense are you talking about?

I'm just kidding. Besides, I'm busy enough as it is now. Why do I need to change my major?

But it would be nice to make more money, after all, no one would complain about having little money in their hands."

"That's true, but we're about to start school. Even if we want to, we don't have the energy, right?"

"Too."

"Who said you don't have a chance?"

"No, Mom, what do you mean?"

"That's right. You know how busy we are during classes."

"I didn't know it before, but since your father was transferred to work in the library, I know a little bit about it."

"So you just said we have a chance?"

"Is there a chance?

And this opportunity is right in front of you, it depends on whether you can seize it. "

"No, Mom, what do you mean?"

"That's right, if you have anything to say, please just say it."

"Is that right?

Just say it straight!

Don’t keep us two siblings guessing.”

"Yes!

Mother, just tell the kids directly, I want to hear your advice too."

"You really want to hear it?"

"That's right, could it be false?"

"Yes."

"Oh well!

Actually, I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that, you see, you are busy at school, but no matter how busy you are, you still have free time.

It’s just that this free time is too short and I can’t do anything else, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything else, right?”

"What else?"

"That's right, this matter is different from other matters!"

"It's different. If you want to do other things, you may have to leave school. But if you want to read books, you can either be in the classroom or in the library during the day."

“Reading a book?

Mom, what does this business have to do with reading? "

"Are you stupid?

Just now you regretted not choosing the economics department. Didn't our mother mean that when you are not in class, you can read books about economics?"

"You know what, your mother's suggestion is indeed good.

Anyway, you are still young, so it may not be a bad thing to learn more.

Even if I don't use it in the future, there's no harm in that, right?"

"Yes, that's what I meant, and I think so!

If you have nothing else to talk about, you might as well take a closer look at some books on economics. Even if you have to work in an economics-related career after graduation, you still have to learn how to make big money with small amounts, right?"

“Making big money with small money?”

"Yes?

All the money we earned during this period is here. After deducting one-third, we still have 415 yuan saved.

If we divide the 415 yuan among the four of us, each of us will get 103 yuan."
