Friends who have lived in Yichang for a long time must know the Little Swallow Restaurant in CBD. 2065438+March 2003, my colleague and sister resolutely quit their stable jobs, rented a place about three square meters in front of the Little Swallow Hotel, put a table on it and began to sell soy milk.
The two sisters get up at four o'clock every morning and start preparing. They left the stall at about six o'clock and closed at ten in the morning. At first, they had two barrels of soaked soybeans, a Jiuyang soymilk machine, a single product, and a cup of plain soymilk for three yuan. We didn't care at first, but took care of her business every morning.
A month later, they bought another device and began to sell various flavors. They added red dates and other raw materials for six yuan a cup, and there were more people at the door. She began to have no time to say hello to us in the busy morning, and her brother-in-law and her mother joined her little team.
In September, she bought a brand-new Hyundai Elantra in full. Driven by curiosity, I couldn't help asking her: "How much money does it make to sell soy milk? Buy a car so soon? "
She smiled: "People work harder and are much better than going to work. At the most, we sold more than 2,800 yuan a day. "
I didn't answer the phone. When we were working in CBD, our monthly salary was only three or four thousand yuan, which was only worth her selling soybean milk for two days.
Later, when I started my own business, I had less contact time. Once again, we got together at her wedding, which was about the national day of 20 15. She has bought herself a house in Lvluo Road and a second-hand house for her sister in the CBD Meteorological Observatory Community.
According to her own plan, I hope to live a stable life after marriage. The couple discussed it and partnered with others to open a small Tujia stove on Bayi Road in Wujiawang to make the most streamlined cauldron. Her sister took over a silver shop opposite the Swallow Hotel, which she saw when she sold soybean milk for the first year.
After several years of struggle, she is now a family of three. She has been working at home with her daughter, leading a semi-retired life ahead of schedule. On 20 19, she built a new yard opposite the Second Hospital and started a private kitchen. The epidemic in the past three years has had some impact on their business, but she has a good business, a stable customer base and a stable income every month.
Sometimes, people really need to push themselves once. Instead of being in front, it is better to eat more bitterness in front and enjoy a comfortable and happy life in the back. It's much better to suffer again in your thirties and forties.
