Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

There are sixty or seventy people in a movie, sometimes there are more than a hundred people.

Some people buy several packs at a time. If you sell them openly, they will sell out quickly! But after these people finish eating, it is not certain whether they will buy again next time!

It is necessary to make them want to eat more after they finish eating, but there is no more.

Next time I go to the cinema, I will definitely think about it and buy it.

When doing business, you need to be steady and long-term. You can't make all the money in one day.

Chen Yan strolled out carrying an empty basket. Han Meimei was dozing off out of boredom.

"You came out so early?" Han Meimei asked curiously, and subconsciously looked into Chen Yan's basket.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yan smiled in his heart, "I've been watching it for a few days, and I came out early because it's not interesting. By the way, Sister Han, I think you're quite bored sitting here every day!"

"There's nothing we can do. We make a living by doing this." Han Meimei said helplessly, "Are you going back to the village?"

Chen Yan smiled, shook his head and said, "No, Sister Han, wait for me."

Han Meimei didn't know what Chen Yan was doing, but she nodded anyway, and Chen Yan ran out quickly.

After a while, Chen Yan came back from outside. He walked to Han Meimei, holding a basket in his hand, took out two bags of popcorn and handed them to Han Meimei.

"I still have some here, Sister Han, you can eat it. You have nothing to do anyway!"

Han Meimei's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, but then her face turned red and she quickly waved her hands, "I have eaten four bags of your popcorn. I heard from others yesterday that your stuff is only ten cents a bag, and it uses sugar and rice. I can't keep taking advantage of you!"

"What a bargain! If it weren't for you, Sister Han, I wouldn't be able to come here!"

As he said that, Chen Yan handed the popcorn in his hand to Han Meimei without hesitation.

"Sister Han, I have something else to discuss with you. I don't know if it's possible!" Chen Yan said at this time.

Han Meimei had already torn open the newspaper that wrapped the popcorn and was eating it impatiently. She raised her head and muttered, "What's the matter?"

"We have two movies every day, don't we? If I sell in the morning and sell in the afternoon, it will be late when the movie is over. It's still a long way to go back to the village! Your job is easy. From now on, I will come here every morning to sell some, and then give you the rest. You have nothing to do in the afternoon after checking the tickets, so help me sell. I will give you one cent for every pack you sell. What do you think?"

At this moment, Chen Yan finally expressed his thoughts.

This is a very common distribution method in later business, and Han Meimei was stunned.

"You want me to sell you popcorn? And give me money?" Han Meimei asked in surprise, not even bothering to eat the popcorn in her hand.

Chen Yan smiled, "Yeah! Anyway, your business is not busy. These days, everyone is living a hard life, so any money you can earn is good. What do you think, Sister Han? We get along well, and I think this business can work!"

Han Meimei fell into deep thought, with an obvious expression of struggle on her face.

She is a regular employee!

If this gets out, it will be a big trouble and I might even lose my job.

But Chen Yan gave too much!

One pack costs one cent. If you sell a hundred packs a day, that would be one dollar, right?

She only makes twelve dollars a month as a ticket inspector!

This was arranged only after using a lot of connections. My family spent dozens of dollars to get this job.

I haven’t made my money back yet!

Chen Yan stood aside and looked at Han Meimei calmly.

He knew that Han Meimei would definitely eat the bait he threw out.

How many people in this small county can refuse a simple income of just over one dollar a day?

really!

After struggling for a while, Han Meimei finally nodded and said, "Chen Zhiqing, please don't harm me. Do you think this is risky?"

Chen Yan whispered, "If it was before, it would definitely be considered speculation, but the authorities have relaxed it in the past two years! My hometown is in Beijing! I just came back from visiting my relatives last month, and the streets were full of small businesses! But this trend has not blown to our side yet! It's only a matter of time before it is relaxed!"

"real or fake?"

"Really? How can I, an educated youth, cheat people? Besides, you are so kind, Sister Han, how can I lie to you against my conscience?"

Han Meimei nodded, "That's right!"

Seeing her expression, Chen Yan almost couldn't help laughing.

Ordinary people are still very simple and honest these days!

If this happened in later generations, would it be so easy to trust people?

"Then it's settled! Sister Han!" Chen Yan took the initiative to extend his hand to Han Meimei.

Han Meimei was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and shook hands with Chen Yan a little uncomfortably.

Chen Yan originally wanted to say "It's a pleasure working with you", but he gave up the idea in the end because he was afraid of scaring Han Meimei away.

"I'll treat you to lunch later, Sister Han. You really helped me a lot this time!"

Han Meimei wanted to refuse, but she couldn't persuade Chen Yan, so she had to agree.

At noon, Chen Yan waited for Han Meimei to get off work, and then the two of them went out.

After they walked for a while, Han Meimei looked around suspiciously, "Chen Zhiqing, you're not going to invite me to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, are you?"

Chen Yan turned around and smiled, "You're right! Sister Han! Let's go to the state-owned restaurant! You helped me so much, I have to thank you very much!"

Han Meimei panicked, "Forget it, let's just forget it, state-owned restaurants are so expensive!"

"It's okay! It's okay! I don't go there every day, I can still afford to treat you once or twice a day!"

With Chen Yan's insistence, the two soon arrived at the state-owned hotel.

After Chen Yan entered, he thought for a while, ordered a braised pork, a stir-fried pork intestine with bean sprouts, and then a shrimp soup and two large bowls of white rice.

Looking at the braised pork emitting an enticing aroma, Han Meimei's eyes turned green.

Although she was a regular employee of the cinema, she seldom saw much meat throughout the year. Even if she occasionally got a few pounds of meat, the whole family would eat it together, and the taste would be gone after just a taste.

Where have I ever seen a big bowl full of braised pork?

"Eat, Sister Han!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

Now, Han Meimei didn't bother to be polite anymore and started eating immediately, her mouth full of oil.

She ate almost all of the big bowl of braised pork. Chen Yan ate some pig intestines and bean sprouts and finished the rice.

Then the two of them finished the big bowl of shrimp soup and felt satisfied.

When she came out, Han Meimei said with lingering feelings, "I never thought the food in this state-owned restaurant is so delicious! If it weren't for you, I would never have such a day in my life! The braised pork is so fatty and full of oil when you bite it. It's so delicious!"

After this meal, Han Meimei completely felt that Chen Yan was a very considerate person!

After all, if you are not considerate, will they take you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner? Will they treat you to a mouth-watering braised pork?

Chen Yan said, "Sister Han, let's not say these polite words! From now on, my popcorn will be handed over to you!"

"Okay!" Han Meimei agreed without hesitation.

A desire to make money emerged in her heart!

no way!

I didn’t know the braised pork in the state-owned restaurant was so delicious! Now I know!

If she earns one more dollar a day as Chen Yan said, then doesn't that mean she can have a meal of braised pork in a state-owned restaurant after a week?

"That's how people live!"

At this moment, Han Meimei's eyes were shining, and she was completely immersed in the beautiful vision of being able to eat braised pork once a week.

And all of this was seen by Chen Yan!

This is exactly the result he wants!

Whether it is now or in the future, sometimes if you don’t have any connections and want to do business or do something, it really won’t work!

Han Meimei is a nice person, and to be able to become a ticket collector at a movie theater, she must have some background.

At least within the confines of a movie theater, it should be able to help you!

Just like that, Chen Yan had one more distributor!

He only needed to deliver the popcorn to the county town in the morning, sell it in the morning session himself, and hand it over to Han Meimei in the afternoon session. He could also go home early to accompany Qin Yurou.

However, Chen Yan did not realize that when he and Han Meimei came out of the state-owned restaurant after dinner, the two of them talking and laughing all the way caught the attention of another person.
