Chapter 16 Renting a Shop and Buying Equipment

Sheng Yueqing, however, wouldn't let him go to the dock.

"Come with me to check out the bread machine equipment first. After the shop is renovated, I'll teach you how to make wedding cakes."

Since we're going to start a business, we can't let He Yushen do hard labor.

It would be more practical to let him make wedding cakes in the shop.

As for the customers, we need to get the equipment set up first, and take it one step at a time.

He Yushen thought his wife was smart and listened to her in everything.

"Wife, whatever you say, I'll do. I'll listen to you."

Sheng Yueqing liked the way his wife looked, and squeezed his hand with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's go explore some more then."

Before it got dark, Sheng Yueqing wanted to go and ask around at the bakery to see which bakery sold the machines best.

The wedding cakes and candies she makes are all mass-produced, and it's difficult to manufacture them without machines.

We need to buy a better machine first.

When the bakery owner first saw her asking about bread machines, he became wary and asked, "Are you also opening a bakery?"

There are three or four bakeries on this street alone. People here love bread, so the competition is naturally fierce.

The owner was afraid they were also there to open a bakery, so he didn't want to say anything.

Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "No, we make wedding candies and cakes."

"The bread we sell is different from your high-end bread."

The boss breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

They had planned to make wedding cakes before, but since there aren't weddings every day, but people who eat bread every day, they switched to making bread instead.

As long as it's not competing with them, it's fine.

“I remember there’s an equipment factory in Baocheng that’s going out of business, and they’re selling their machines at a discount. You guys can go check it out.”

Sheng Yueqing smiled and thanked her, then bought some more bread from her shop and also gave her some homemade wedding candies and cakes.

"These are my family's unique recipe for wedding cakes and candies. They taste different from other brands. If you have a wedding celebration in your family, you are welcome to come and have a look."

The bakery owner smiled and, out of courtesy, tasted a piece of wedding candy.

I was pleasantly surprised. "How is this candy made? It's a bit cool and refreshing to eat, which is quite nice."

Sheng Yueqing introduced, "There's also pear syrup candy, which is good for clearing heat and moisturizing the lungs."

"There are also throat lozenges. You can suck on them when your throat is dry and itchy, and they work very well."

"However, these two things should not be eaten in large quantities. You can eat them occasionally to soothe your throat if you feel unwell."

The baker had been feeling a sore throat for the past couple of days, so he immediately started sucking on an extra loaf of bread.

Because the throat lozenges contained a little mint, they did cool the throat a bit when swallowed. In addition, they contained herbal ingredients, so the baker thought they were quite effective.

"These candies are nice, I'd like to buy a box."

Sheng Yueqing immediately handed him a complete box and explained it to him in detail.

"Boss, this box is 3.5 yuan. There are 12 pieces in total. If stored dry, it can last for 3 months."

“If you have a refrigerator, you can put it in there and keep it for another two months.”

The shop owner thought 3.5 yuan a box was a bit expensive, but the effect was indeed good, so he bought a box.

He Yushen asked her why it was selling for three yuan and fifty cents? It used to sell for two yuan and fifty cents.

Sheng Yueqing explained to him, "The prices here are high, and the cost of buying materials will also be higher in the future, so we'll sell it for one yuan more."

He Yushen understood, "Wife, you're so amazing, you know everything."

Sheng Yueqing smiled. "Let's go, let's go take a look at the equipment factory."

Many factories have opened in this era, including those selling imported machinery.

It's far from the equipment factory; you have to take a bus to get there.

It was He Yushen's first time riding a bus, and he looked around curiously.

People around him looked at him with disdain, thinking he was a country bumpkin, and kept their distance from him.

He Yushen was unaffected by the disdainful looks, and instead went to watch the driver drive.

He seemed interested in machinery, and even mimicked his master's gestures with his large hands.

Sheng Yueqing saw this, smiled, and asked him, "Do you want to learn to drive?"

He Yushen's eyes sparkled. "Can I learn it?"

Sheng Yueqing nodded, "Okay."

"Once the shop arrangements are settled, you can start learning to drive."

Being able to drive makes delivery convenient.

Even if the business fails in the future, at least I'll have a car and a job.

It would be best to learn car repair skills as well, so that you have an extra skill to earn a living.

He Yushen asked excitedly, "Wife, are you really going to let me learn so much?"

Sheng Yueqing felt a little embarrassed as he held her hand and noticed that everyone in the car was watching. She pulled her hand back and said, "You can learn. I'll let you learn this year."

He Yushen's eyes were a little moist with emotion.

He thought his wife was wonderful, a million times better than he had imagined.

If he told his mother that he wanted to learn to drive, she would probably scold him for being delusional and discourage him.

Unlike his wife, who only supports him and praises him.

She's so wonderful, he loves her so much.

Seeing that He Yushen was about to hug her again, Sheng Yueqing quickly stopped him, "Everyone is watching."

He Yushen then stopped, grinning foolishly.

He didn't dare to hug her, but when the car swayed, he immediately wrapped his large hands around her to prevent anyone from bumping into her.

When they arrived at the station, he jumped for joy.

Seeing that he was happy, Sheng Yueqing smiled along with him.

The two asked around all the way and finally found the equipment factory that was about to go bankrupt.

As soon as I entered, I found that there were many customers buying equipment.

Sheng Yueqing approached the boss and said she wanted two machines for making wedding cakes and candies.

Seeing that they were dressed simply and didn't seem to be able to afford it, the shop owner tentatively asked, "The machines here aren't cheap; the good ones cost several hundred yuan. Are you sure you can afford them?"

Sheng Yueqing nodded, "I can afford it. As long as the quality is up to standard, I'll pay the deposit immediately."

The boss was skeptical, but Sheng Yueqing's confident tone and extraordinary demeanor led them to take a look.

"These are the two machines; they're both imported." Because these two machines are expensive, they haven't been sold yet.

But the quality is really good. If it is properly maintained, it can last for decades without any problems.

Sheng Yueqing knew that the machines produced in this era could generally be used for decades and were of much better quality than those produced later.

She tried out the machine; it was made of stainless steel, so it wouldn't rust or get moldy, which suited her perfectly.

With its powerful engine and ingenious design, I decided to buy it immediately.

The shop owner was surprised, "You want both of them?"

"Yes, I want both."

The boss was delighted, "Then let me tell you, it's three hundred, two hundred or six hundred per unit, no bargaining."

His purchase price wasn't cheap; 300 was a discounted price.

Sheng Yueqing knew it was discounted, so she immediately took out six hundred.

"Sign the contract, I want it."

The boss beamed with delight, "Oh, this way please."

He hadn't expected that Sheng Yueqing was not only outstanding in appearance, but also magnanimous in her actions.

Sheng Yueqing immediately signed the contract, received the money, and then asked the boss for a second-hand refrigerator.

I also bought some stainless steel cabinets.

It cost over a thousand in total.

He Yushen looked at the wallet, which went from bulging to flat, and it was almost empty.

He couldn't help but gasp; his wife really knew how to spend money.

They were really domineering when paying.

Seeing his stunned expression, Sheng Yueqing teased, "You don't think I'm a spendthrift, do you?"
