Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 240: The Second Shop in the College Town

With the future potential, Ji Jianyun naturally wanted to grow more cherries. Thus, he planted cherries over half of the third orchard.

It was busy until the end of March. The third orchard was finished. The next step was to have Cai Zhanguo, Ji Guangzong and the others water and fertilize the trees. Ji Jianyun did not plan to do more at the moment.

At the beginning of the year, Ji Jianyun brought back a batch of new fish and put them directly into the reservoir. There were still some big fish in there from last year. He didn't catch them all because he wanted to sell fish all year round. He would fish them from time to time. He didnt plan on wiping out the reservoir. If he caught a small fish, then he released them and continued to raise them. If he caught a big fish, he would sell it. The cycle continued in this way.

In addition to the fish, there were also sheeps and ducks.

The ducks were raised first, and there were more than 50 ducks. Two big female ducks were allowed to take their ducklings to forage in the reservoir. The sheeps were taken in only in the spring, and there were more than 30.

The sheep shed and duck sheds were set up, so it was time for them to live there.

Compared to how leisurely it was last year, Uncle Xu and Su Anbang were quite busy this year. Ji Jianyun basically left all the work to them. As for Xu Heshan and Su Zhumao, they were also very busy. At the beginning of this year, Ji Jianyun made a special trip to the college town and bought another shop with the money he saved last year.

The shop was on the other street near his current shop. It was 5,000 yuan to buy Uncle Gao's shop, but how many years had passed since then? The price of shops had increased by 1,500 yuan.

Ji Jianyun spent 6,500 to buy that shop, and the place was a little smaller than Uncle Gao's.

However, Ji Jianyun was satisfied. Originally, he was going to buy something further away, but he changed his mind. The 6,500 yuan price tag was indeed a bit high. Ji Jianyun asked for a lower price, and the seller refused.

Ji Jianyun agreed to the price and received ownership of the shop that day.

Then he went to find the person who had helped him decorate his first shop, and having one shop became two.

It's only one street away, but the flow of people there is indeed relatively high. Even though it was a bit more expensive, he believed it's worth the money.

Sun Dashan and Sister He were asked to work both shops.

When Sun Dashan and Sister He returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year this year, they also came to visit. Ji Jianyun revealed to them that he would open another shop this year. They could take care of one shop each, and they would hire two more honest people who knew how to work hard. Ji Jianyun let them choose the workers.

Ji Jianyun sold chickens at his shop and killed the chickens for the customers.

Honesty was a must. The store had to have a clear count of the goods every day. Its not like anyone wanted trouble, so the person they hired must be honest and should not have bad habits that they shouldn't have.

Sun Dashan and Sister He were paid 40 yuan. They wouldnt be paid 10 yuan more to subsidize food anymore. As for the two workers, its 35 yuan a month.

35 yuan was not a high salary in a college town. It was a very common salary.

It was about three or four yuan a month to rent an ordinary single room. Food and other expenses were a little more expensive, about 15-16 yuan, and there would be about 15 yuan a month left over.

However, the shops Ji Jianyun bought were the kind of shops where people could live inside of. Sun Dashan and Sister He no longer lived in the shop. They moved back to their community, so the two workers could live there and save on expenses.

Ji Jianyun thought Sun Dashan and Sister He were going to find someone to work for them. He didnt want them to just have Father Sun and Mother Sun help out. In the end, they found a young man who was a relative to work there.

Although Father Sun and Mother Sun were no longer working and were supported by their son, they were actually not that old. Father Sun was older. He was 58 this year, and Mother Sun was 57. Both were not very old.

The elders went to Sun Dashan's place to help with the shop. As for the young man, he was to help with Sister Hes shop.

This young man was 19 years old this year. He was a nephew from Sister He's maternal family. He was reliable, but the couple were cautious. They still owed Ji Jianyun 3,000 yuan, and it wasnt just the money, they owed him a big favor.

How could they just let anyone work there?

Jianyun has also looked through it. Even if Father Sun and Mother Sun were left alone, they could look over the shop and Sun Dashan could do things like kill the chickens. The elders were considered as one person's salary, so Ji Jianyun didn't feel like it was a loss.

As for Sister He's eldest nephew, He Youcai, he was a relatively simple person. His hands and feet were rough, so he was obviously used to doing rough work.

Starting this year, the shops operating hours changed.

In the past, the shop was opened around 6:30 in the morning and closed at about this time in the evening. Sun Dashan and Sister He extended the hours to keep the shop open until around 9 pm.

The business opened early the next day, and the couple worked very hard.

Ji Jianyun planned to give more benefits this year. If the profit was good, he would let the two of them get more benefits next year. The couple worked hard. He was very satisfied with their work and helped the couple buy a home without a second thought.

Although it was only 80 square meters, it increased to nearly 100 yuan a square meter in the past year, which indirectly meant the couples net worth increased.

And now, it might not be possible to buy it.

Starting this year, the couple, the two elders at home, and the three children all moved to the college town.

Seven people lived in an 80 square meter house, which was actually a bit cramped.

It was just a two bedroom apartment. The couple and their daughter slept together in one room, the two elders shared a room. The two sons made beds on the floor in the hallway.

It's a bit crowded, but Sun Dashan and Sister He were very satisfied with their current lives, especially with the kind of work they were doing now, and they had a great sense of responsibility.

The couple's salary was 40 yuan, plus the grandparents salary was 35 yuan, which meant that they had an income of more than 100 yuan a month. They didnt need to rent a house or anything like that. Extra expenses include normal living expenses and water and electricity bills. For one month, 50 yuan was the most they would spend. This was mainly because of school supplies for the children at home. If it wasnt for that, then it would be 40 yuan spent.

Like this, they could save a lot in a month.

Sister Hes eldest nephew, He Youcai, heard that he was given five yuan a month for living expenses, so he ate with his aunts family. As for where he lived, he lived directly in the shop and saved 30 yuan a month!
