In the income of forty to fifty thousand, daily household expenses, children’s tuition, insurance for retirement, etc., almost ten thousand is spent. Saving forty thousand yuan every month is already quite good, after more than ten months, nearly 400,000 yuan has been saved.

This year, both husband and wife have obtained their driver’s licenses. Buying a car is a matter of time, but they still want to wait. By the end of the year, they plan to save up to fifty thousand yuan. After the New Year, they will pay off a portion, at least to lower the interest, mainly because they are not used to owing money to others.

As for the three million, nearly one million has been distributed this year, all donations have evidence, their streaming account has made it public.

Currently, the couple’s streaming account has three to four million followers, but they don’t live stream product sales like others. Although many businesses have approached them, the couple continues doing their own thing, Liang Quan delivers food, goes to the library to read, Wen Fang reads during work hours, preparing for certification exams, all captured by netizens and uploaded online. The couples’ struggle has been highly praised by netizens, and even some have urged them to live stream product sales, which the couple simply laughed off.

As time enters the 2023 Spring Festival, their savings reached 600,000 yuan. Originally they thought about paying off loans after the New Year, but then the night market side is to be demolished, the contract automatically canceled, meaning after the New Year, they won’t have a place to sell.

The old couple thought about it and suggested: "Why not open a shop? This way, it’s more stable, don’t pay off the loan yet, let’s gradually build up."

Open a shop?

Liang Quan currently doesn’t have a formal job, Wen Fang’s job is easy, but she indeed doesn’t earn much. Relying on their current streaming followers, opening a shop would quickly bring back old customers, but the question is, what should we do?

"Shall we open a Liang’s Snacks shop? Look for a shop after the New Year, it doesn’t need to be too big, ten or twenty square meters is fine. Don’t make foods with too much smoke, young people now like less oil, less salt, I’ll study a few more dishes. Ah Fang, you also don’t go to work anymore, let’s grit our teeth and open a shop."

Spicy strips, this snack still needs to be made, it doesn’t take much effort, can be placed in the shop, if sold, just pack it.

We can mainly sell pan-fried buns, moon-shaped bread, low-calorie sandwiches, among them, tofu soup with wild vegetables and sweet soy milk can be prepared in advance, finish selling when it’s done, not too much effort, these can be sold until noon, rest in the afternoon, still these few dishes in the evening, make less. Of course, adjustments can be made based on temperature changes, other than pan-fried buns being a bit greasy, the other ingredients are quite healthy.

With Liang Quan’s suggestion, everyone didn’t have much objection, after all, it’s a snack shop, feels like a small endeavor, later on, adjustments can be made based on varieties.

When it came to mentioning online platforms, Liang Quan thought for a moment, "Let’s not register yet, for small businesses, let’s focus on making the physical shop good first."

The platform’s commission rate is too high, and they don’t want to raise prices because of it, so they dismissed the idea.

After the New Year, finding a shop wasn’t difficult, exactly near Changnan University, only the shop is slightly larger than expected, with thirty square meters.

Spent a month on decoration, design, the kitchen is open-style, tables and chairs are also brand new, rent is 3,000 yuan per month, paid annually, a total of 40,000 yuan given, four thousand is a deposit, and it’s quite reasonable, not as exaggerated as he imagined.

The signboard is called [Liang’s Snacks] and promotes the streaming platform number beneath the signboard, officially opens on April 6th after Tomb-Sweeping Festival, for the first three days of opening, anyone who sends short videos for promotion and follows this streaming account will be given a kilogram of viral spicy strips as a token of thanks.
