How much do rural couples earn from making sauced cakes?

165438+1October 2 1 Sunday, at a rural party in Cang county, Hebei province, Yong Dong Xinhe and his wife were making and selling sauced cakes. Although their income is envied by white-collar workers, the hardships behind it are not for anyone to bear.

Dong Yongxin, 39, comes from Zhoukou, Henan. From 65438 to 0996, Dong Yongxin left his hometown and came to Cangzhou, Hebei from Zhoukou, Henan. After leaving home for so many years, his accent even became "do as the Romans do" and "Cangzhou flavor".

Dong Yongxin introduced that at the beginning, he learned to make tofu for the first time, and once he burned his hand while making tofu. In 2003, he went to the northeast to learn how to make fried dough sticks, and then went to Shandong to learn how to make soy sauce cakes. Dong Yongxin admits that this road has been wandering for 2 1 year, which is really not easy. He can only go back to his hometown in rural Henan twice a year at most.

Xiao Dong's husband and wife's son, who is 1 1 years old this year, was left behind by his parents because his child went to school and the husband and wife could not take care of him every day. Although children miss them, they miss them more, but they can only talk about the pain of lovesickness by phone. At this point, Dong Yongxin changed the subject: "There is no way. If you want to live, you can only do this, and you can't go back. "

When is the market day in the countryside around the city? Yong Dong's new capital is in my heart. Every morning, no matter how far away, no matter the cold wind and hot summer, they will appear in the market on time. Dong Yongxin said: "If there is a bigger market, it can sell for seven or eight hundred yuan per episode; Smaller markets can sell for five or six hundred yuan per episode. When I return to the city in the afternoon, I can still sell two or three hundred. "

Obviously, this income far exceeds that of white-collar workers. Dong Yongxin once wanted to buy a suite in the city and reunite with the old people and children in his rural hometown, but the high housing prices still discouraged him. Children go to school, the elderly provide for the elderly, house rent, daily expenses of husband and wife, etc. These all need real money, which makes Dong Yongxin and his wife unable to stop for a moment. Even if it rains and winds, Yong Dong Xindu will go out to do odd jobs. He said: "There are too many places to spend money, and life goes on."
