Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 360 Who Earns More?

Lin Qingyan and her friends stayed in Zhaojia Village for an afternoon.

When they returned home in the evening, Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan calculated their daily income. As they calculated, they could no longer suppress the smiles on their faces.

"I love making money, making money makes me happy!" Wang Lanlan even hummed a song.

Ye Yi couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart, "Qingyan, where are we going to set up our stall tomorrow?"

"You guys go tomorrow. I'll go find someone to buy plastic film and take care of the land."

Lin Qingyan thought about contacting the manufacturer that supplies Xishui Village and then transporting the materials to Jing City. It is estimated that they will all start school soon.

She wanted to tidy up the field before school started, at least plant some seeds, and build two houses for the people who looked after the fields to live in.

Liu Huizhen glanced at her daughter.

"Qingyan, Mom will go with you to deal with the land matters tomorrow."

"Mom, you can continue to set up the stall with Ye Yi and the others tomorrow. I can handle these things by myself. I'll call you when I need you.

The same goes for Qingxuan. You will be with mom tomorrow. Remember to take good care of her and be active. Don't just stand there stupidly."

Lin Qingyan refused her mother's company and blocked Lin Qingxuan's words.

"Does Yizhou have time to accompany Qingyan tomorrow?" Liu Huizhen thought her daughter wanted to act alone with Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou glanced at Lin Qingyan, and noticing Lin Qingyan's faint refusal, he smiled and said to Liu Huizhen:

"Aunt, I will go back to grandpa's place tomorrow and ask about the land to see if I can build a house there."

"Oh, that's right. We must ask clearly about building houses for people to live in, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."

Liu Huizhen nodded in agreement.

Just as they were discussing, there was a knock on the door. Lin Qingxuan opened the door and saw Fang Yunxing and Xu Jianshan outside. He hurriedly called them to come into the yard.

"Brother Yunxing, Brother Xu, you are here!"

Fang Yunxing patted Lin Qingxuan on the shoulder.

"Qingxuan, I heard that you guys have been setting up a stall outside these past two days, how is business?"

“Business is good!”

"Is it true? Is the clothing business really good?" Fang Yunxing felt that selling clothes did not make as much money as selling watches and tape recorders.

"It must be true. Who do you think is like you, who can't make money but only spend it? The money we earn in a day may be more than some people's monthly salary."

When Ye Yi heard Fang Yunxing's voice, she retorted reflexively. Thinking about the money she had earned in the past two days, she felt that she had finally been able to hold her head high.

"In addition to my salary, I also have other income, which is not low. In the past two days, we sold two radios and five watches.

Even if Xu Jianshan and I split it equally, you can calculate how much each of us earns."

Fang Yunxing walked into the yard with a cocky look on his face. He ignored the angry Ye Yi and went straight to Liu Huizhen.

"Auntie, I'm here to eat. I ate the dishes you cooked the day before yesterday and they really suit my taste. It's only been two days since I went to work and ate in the cafeteria. The food in the cafeteria is amazing."

Fang Yunxing shook his head exaggeratedly.

"There is really no harm without comparison. Look, I rushed over here as soon as I got off work."

When Liu Huizhen saw Fang Yunxing, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Yunxing is here, sit over here."

After Fang Yunxing sat down, he looked at the empty dining table and counted the people in the yard. No one was missing, and everyone was sitting in the yard.

There should be no one in the kitchen, so he asked tentatively: "Auntie, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Don't you see what time it is? You must have eaten by now!"

Ye Yi subconsciously started to retort, forgetting that she was interrupting Liu Huizhen.

Fang Yunxing looked at Lin Qingyan again, and Lin Qingyan nodded with pretended seriousness. He looked at his good brother Gu Yizhou, but Gu Yizhou didn't even look at him and ignored him completely.

"No way? Why are you eating so early? I rushed here right after get off work."

Fang Yunxing pretended to be sad and covered his stomach with his hands.

Seeing his expression, Liu Huizhen quickly stood up.

"Yun Xing, they are lying to you. We just came back and haven't cooked yet. You sit down and rest. I will go cook now."

"Auntie, let me help you." Fang Yunxing was about to stand up to help, but was stopped by Liu Huizhen.

"You youngsters, have a chat about what you've learned in the past two days. Maybe you can come up with more ways to make money."

Liu Huizhen was about to go into the kitchen when she finished speaking. Lin Qingyan said to her, "Mom, take a rest. I'll cook!"

"No, I can do it on my own. You guys can discuss it."

In the end, Gu Yizhou went in to help.

Wang Lanlan only then remembered to ask Fang Yunxing and the others,

"You sold two radios? Five watches? How much did you make?"

"you guess!"

Fang Yunxing replied directly with two words. Wang Lanlan did not ask him any more questions, but looked at Xu Jianshan.

Xu Jianshan met Wang Lanlan's gaze and smiled.

"Two radios, four tapes, and five watches made a total of 2 yuan, and we split it between the two of us, 4 yuan each."

Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan looked at him in surprise, saying in disbelief: "You made so much money just by selling a few pieces?"

"The price we sell is cheaper than that of department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, and the tape is the latest model in Hong Kong. I went to the mall on purpose, but I couldn't find this tape.

I took the tapes to the supply and marketing cooperative staff, and their director invited me in and specifically asked me if I could provide them with some tapes.

When Xu Jianshan said this, he was looking at Lin Qingyan, who frowned and thought:

"This batch of goods came from the south, and we don't know how the south got it from the port city. Under the current situation, we may not be able to cooperate with formal supply and marketing cooperatives, so we can only sell it privately."

"I understood, so I told them at the time that I saw the tape at a friend's place and wanted to buy it, so I asked them."

"Lin Qingyan, Yizhou and I have a group of brothers. They should all be interested in tape recorders. Can you get some more? I plan to sell them to them."

In fact, this was the main reason why Fang Yunxing came here. The tape recorders they brought over last time had been sold out, but there were still some watches.

"We have tape recorders and tapes. I'll ask them to send some over tomorrow."

Lin Qingyan bought three tape recorders in Hong Kong, but in modern Guangzhou, she bought many old-fashioned tape recorders and even radios.

It is difficult to distinguish the source of these things from the outside. If someone takes them apart, they may find that the components are different.

However, a tape recorder was considered a big item in 79, and most people would not casually take it apart to look at the components inside.

In fact, she hopes that someone can discover the differences in the components inside, which may inspire current engineers to conduct bold research.
