A rural man made enough money selling baked cakes to build two villas

When it comes to how rural people can find their way to prosperity, many people will hold forth at length, lecturing from national policy to the economic situation, putting on an act of knowing it all, spouting empty words, false words, and cliches.

These three kinds of nonsense are actually of no use to farmers.

If rural people want to get rich, they still have to keep their feet on the ground and do real work one step at a time.

For example, the rural prosperity success story we are going to talk about today, Zhao Si (a pseudonym), is a baked cake seller.

1. Starting a business is hard and full of battles

If you are from Shandong, you have definitely eaten hanging-oven baked cakes. This is a traditional Chinese snack.

More than ten years ago, many people working in rural areas liked to buy this kind of baked cake to eat.

It was around that time that Zhao Si started going to rural markets to sell hanging-oven baked cakes.

More than ten years ago, the baked cakes Zhao Si sold were three mao each, and he could sell more than one hundred a day, taking in about 30 yuan.

At that time, Zhao Si's family could not even afford to build a house. After the family's rammed-earth house collapsed, they put up a plastic sheet tent to live in.

When he started selling baked cakes, the first difficulty he ran into was the oven. The hanging oven for this kind of hanging-oven baked cake was no ordinary baking oven; he had to make it himself.

It took Zhao Si a whole month to make this hanging oven at the beginning, and during that month he drank water and ate steamed buns every day, unable to afford even a dish of vegetables.

Poor as he was, he still thought about making baked cakes to sell, and at the time many people did not understand it.

2. What matters most in starting a business is persistence

Now, Zhao Si has been selling baked cakes for more than ten years, and many people still do not understand, thinking that selling baked cakes at markets cannot earn much money, and that it would be better to go to the city and work on a construction site.

Many people also tried to persuade Zhao Si to do something else, but Zhao Si still kept going to the big markets to sell baked cakes. Every day he went to a market, claimed a stall, and sold baked cakes. This had already become Zhao Si's daily habit over ten years.

Nowadays, Zhao Si's hanging-oven baked cakes are famous far and wide around here, and the price has gone from three mao each back then to three yuan each now. What was once made by one person is now almost a chain operation.

This small business was actually built up big by Zhao Si.

In Zhao Si's words, he has no special skill; it was just endured and built up over time.

Brief summary: This year Zhao Si suddenly built two small villa buildings in the town, and only then did the villagers realize that selling baked cakes was so profitable. But what is the use of envy now? It would be better to lower your sights a bit and steadily do some solid things and earn some solid money.
