Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 87: Refrigerator and Bicycle
Seeing Pei Baoshan, Jiang Ran said, "Dad, we’re leaving. Close the door and you can go back to sleep for a while."
It’s still very early, not even four o’clock yet, so Pei Baoshan can go back and sleep for another hour or two.
Pei Baoshan nodded, "Be careful on the road."
To save time, the three of them walked in silence, focusing on their journey.
They had walked this route countless times over the past two months, and they wouldn’t get lost even with their eyes closed.
They walked briskly and reached the county town by 4:30.
It was so early that the county town was quiet, with almost no lights or pedestrians outside.
Once at the shop, they closed the door behind them and began their busy day.
While chopping the filling, Jiang Ran thought they needed to get an icebox soon.
If not, as it gets hotter, they won’t be able to store the meat bought in advance.
With this thought, Jiang Ran shared her idea with the others.
Even though Pei Shanshan and Pei Yang were young, they were aware of what the store needed since they helped out daily.
Although an icebox wasn’t cheap, they had no objections if it meant doing better business.
"Let’s work hard and save enough money to buy an icebox before summer comes."
With the icebox on her mind, Jiang Ran hurried to grab a bite after the morning rush and headed to the department store.
Even though she couldn’t afford it yet, Jiang Ran wasn’t put off from finding out the prices.
Before going, she braced herself, knowing iceboxes weren’t cheap at this time.
But upon seeing the prices, she deeply realized just how costly they were.
Jiang Ran didn’t dare consider the larger iceboxes.
What caught her eye was a 90-liter Sunflower brand single-door refrigerator, priced at 650 yuan.
Six hundred and fifty yuan, which, with effort, could be saved in a month.
But the thought of not being able to split any money after a month of hard work felt painful.
Yet Jiang Ran was a practical person; she understood the benefits of the refrigerator and was determined to buy it no matter what.
Not only could it store meat, but also be used to make and sell refreshing summer foods.
Jiang Ran was confident they’d sell well.
After a thorough look, Jiang Ran reluctantly returned to the snack shop.
Seeing Jiang Ran return, both Pei Shanshan and Pei Yang eagerly looked at her, waiting for news about the refrigerator.
Knowing what they were waiting for, Jiang Ran didn’t waste time and got straight to the point.
Upon hearing the price of the refrigerator, Pei Shanshan and Pei Yang both dropped their jaws in surprise.
They knew it was expensive, but not this expensive!
This...
If it weren’t for their small shop and business, they wouldn’t even dare to think about a refrigerator, fearing even the thought of it would cost money.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Ran’s initially heavy heart lightened up.
"Don’t worry, let’s focus on doing good business. Once we buy the refrigerator, the next money we earn will be for getting each of us a bicycle."
"Buy a bicycle?"
Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan both exclaimed, their eyes filled with excitement, yet a bit of anxiety over the expense.
A bicycle would cost over a hundred yuan!
"Yeah! Or would you rather run here every day instead of having a bike?"
