When they saw that my foot was pricked by a nail, the kind workers would quickly take out the tobacco and matches they brought, telling me to squeeze out the blood quickly, then take the tobacco to stop the bleeding, hit two pieces with the match, let it burn the wound on my foot, and then tie it to my foot with my handkerchief. Dressed up, I have to continue selling cakes in the car before I can go home.
I was often nailed to my feet at that time. I treated my wound in that way. I am very grateful. I have never had tetanus. The last and most serious time, a board was just removed, and the workers had not had time to pick it up and pile it up. If they pick up the pile, they will put the nail down. At that time, I passed by, and the nail on the board was put up. I didn't pay attention. I accidentally stepped on it. The slippers I was wearing at that time became thinner because I wore them for a long time. So, the whole nail went into my foot, and I almost fainted in pain. Many kind workers came around, some helped me pull out nails, and some took tobacco to stop bleeding. When the whole nail was pulled out, a stream of blood gushed out.
At that time, workers used indigenous methods. They took a lot of tobacco and pressed my wound, but they didn't stop the bleeding. All the cut tobacco was soaked with blood. Later, a man took half a pack of tobacco and covered it all over my wound. He pressed the wound to stop the bleeding. After a long rest, the workers advised me to stop selling and go home quickly. It happened that my car was almost sold out, with only over 50 left. Usually, although it is nailed, I will continue to sell those cakes before I go home. But I really can't this time. The wound hurts badly. I gave the rest of the cake to the kind workers, and then I slowly stepped on the empty car and went home.
When I got home, my feet were swollen like buns. My whole feet are red and hot, and my whole body is cold and hot. As soon as my husband was at home, he took me to the hospital to take tetanus medicine and clean the wound.
Later, my family heard that I was badly hurt by a nail, so my second brother took my mother to my house to see me. They all advised me to stop and have a rest, don't work so hard to make money and change careers. They said that my two floors have been built, so it's not so hard.
It happened that my sister and brother-in-law were going to transfer the restaurant they opened at Bantou intersection to others. They want to open another restaurant on West Street, so my second brother asked me to take over my sister's restaurant. At that time, I really switched careers and stopped selling cakes.
My husband and I started to manage my sister's restaurant. At first, business was good. Besides paying the rent of the shop every month, there is still some money left. When we open a restaurant, we usually have more business in the morning. Lunch is over, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, and there will be no business until the evening.
Later, her husband got to know the people in that street and used this afternoon to play cards with the people who opened the shop. Every day, and then even the rent of the store is not enough. I said, if this continues, I will have to take money from home to pay the store rent in the future. Why don't you transfer this shop to someone else, and I'll sell fried dough sticks buns. If you want to continue driving, neither of them has a salary, and it is not the way.
My eldest brother used to work in Ninghua Guest House. Lao Li, a general manager in Ninghua Guest House, came to see my eldest brother and said that he would go to Xiamen to contract a shop and ask him to find some people to be chefs in the hotel. At that time, my eldest brother was still a chef at Huaqiao University, so he quit that job. In fact, he was wrong that time. It's really a pity to quit your formal job.
Later, my husband and my second brother went to Xiamen Hotel as chefs. At that time, we wrote a sign for the store to be transferred and hung it outside the store. At that time, my husband told me that 4 thousand yuan could be transferred to others, including all the tools in it. After waiting for several days, no one came to take over.
Big Brother and Second Brother are going to Xiamen Hotel, but this store has not been transferred. I asked my husband to go with them first, and I looked after the store alone to see if anyone wanted to take over our hotel. After my husband went to Xiamen, I thought, what can I do to rent out this store?
Later, I went to the vegetable market alone to buy food and opened a shop myself. I sell breakfast first, some porridge, batter, pig blood soup, fried dough sticks and steamed bread. Sell some food at noon, such as fast food. And cook some noodle soup, rice noodle soup, or fried noodles, fried rice noodles.
When my husband and I opened a shop, he sold some appetizers. We will buy some fish, shrimp, halibut, squid, chickens and ducks. My husband bought these and fried them himself. I will help him wash vegetables, wash dishes and deliver vegetables. My husband keeps the money I earn every day, and I don't care about it.
In the first month after my husband went to Xiamen, I bought my own food and ran this restaurant. By the end of the month, I calculated that besides paying the store rent, I earned 1000 yuan. Then my business got better and better.
When my daughter was still in junior high school, after school, she would go to the store to help me collect money from guests or close the door to wash dishes. My daughter is very capable and sensible. She will help me with my business. I remember one day, her husband's godmother's third son was killed. At noon that day, I will go to the funeral and attend the funeral of my husband's godbrother. I left the whole store to my daughter to run her own business. When I came back from the funeral, my daughter had helped me with a business of 100 yuan.
The following month, we also paid the store rent and earned more than 2000 yuan. But I am alone, and I want to go out and be a man and a woman. I take care of my two children at home, and I do all the big and small things at home. Really tired and hard.
Later, I invited a girl to help me as a waiter. This girl is also very capable and diligent. With help, I also began to boldly do something like what my husband did. I also bought some fish, shrimp and meat. Every noon and evening, many people come to drink. I will cook some braised fish, fish head soup, fried fish and shrimp as appetizers.
In the third month, by the end of the month, I earned another three or four thousand yuan. People saw that my business was getting better and better. Three meals a day, the store is full, there are many guests, and the business is very good.
At that time, a man wanted to rent a store from me. He wants to rent a store from me for 7 thousand yuan to see if I am willing to transfer it to him. I said, I won't turn now. I want to do it myself.
The man also said that he heard from the person next door that my husband said that 4000 yuan would be transferred to others, and now he wants to rent it for 7000 yuan, but I still don't rent it. He wants to give me more rent. I said I wouldn't rent it, but I would do it myself.
Later, our hotel's business got better and better, and we made some money, so I'm going to use the money to build a three-story building.
