Upon arriving at the HG shirt factory, He Wenlin immediately began working with the factory's finance department.

He Wenlin secretly gave her ten vouchers without a factory name on them, which were worth only twenty yuan in total. She mainly thought that it would be more convenient for her in the future.

Zhang, the finance manager, was stunned for a while, not expecting He Wenlin to be so good at handling things.

He Wenlin smiled sweetly: "Sister, please patronize our shop more often in the future. I'm sure you'll enjoy our glutinous rice balls, steamed dumplings, and xiaolongbao. Adults and children alike will love our company's egg rolls."

Sister Zhang then realized what was going on and said with a smile, "I've heard that your food is delicious. I'll definitely buy some to try next time."

After saying that, he put the voucher into his pocket.

Things went smoothly from then on; she counted the sets one by one, making sure the numbers were correct.

After calculating for more than forty minutes, she finally confirmed that there were no problems and went to find Wu Yuelin to sign.

Half an hour later, He Wenlin received the voucher, 11,000 yuan.

Because Wu Yuelin paid 1,000 yuan when she signed the contract, 352 yuan will be deducted from that amount. The remaining amount will be deducted when the egg rolls are delivered.

After receiving the money, Peng Liang quickly accompanied He Wenlin to the bank to deposit it.

Having been burgled once, I would never keep so much cash at home under any circumstances.

When I came out of the bank, I saw that it was 3:30.

He Wenlin said to Peng Liang, "Go to the cardboard box factory and get 500 of each of the two types of cardboard boxes I told you about before. Pay upon delivery."

After saying that, He Wenlin gave him fifty yuan to take a taxi.

With over ten thousand yuan more in her account, He Wenlin felt much more at ease.

Recently, the business has expanded significantly, and money is needed everywhere. With less and less cash in her account, He Wenlin is starting to feel anxious.

The main issue is the plans for the Chinese New Year, which can't be carried out without a car.

He Wenlin returned to the shop at 4:15.

Tonight, neither Bosi Garment Factory, where He Ma works, nor Hongda Factory, so there's plenty of time.

Tonight's dishes are stir-fried lotus root slices, spicy and sour chicken giblets, and eggplant with minced meat.

He Wenlin was not in a hurry because her father, Lin Fei, and second brother could make these dishes.

"Did you get the money?" Old Mrs. He asked He Wenlin quietly when she saw her return.

Grandma He knew that He Wenlin had taken the vouchers with her.

He Wenlin also lowered her voice and said, "I've saved it, eleven thousand."

The old lady suppressed her joy and nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."

Grandma He is getting anxious because she's been spending a lot of money lately.

“You two are whispering again. Did you get the money from the shirt factory?” Mr. He said. “I saw that you brought back the shirt factory vouchers today.”

"Dad, are you possessed by Sherlock Holmes? You guessed it right away."

He's father rolled his eyes at her: "Hmph, I know you guys too well."

"What's wrong with us?" Old Mrs. He retorted. "You're still in the evaluation stage. Focus on your work and don't pry into the affairs of your superiors and boss."

There was a finance director and a boss, but he was unlucky; he was an apprentice and received the lowest wages.

Dad He returned to the stove, looking miserable, and continued to work up a sweat.

Since steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao are in stock, He Wenlin hasn't arranged for anyone to work overtime in the evenings.

After 7 p.m., everyone went home from get off work.

Everyone wanted to go to He Wenlin's breakfast shop to check it out and help with the cleaning.

Sure enough, around 7 p.m., a large group of people went to the breakfast shop.

"This place is pretty good," said Aunt He. "It's right next to the bus stop, so it should be a decent place to sell breakfast."

He Wenlin opened the roller shutter door. The inside was cluttered with many things, but the coal briquettes in the small warehouse were stacked neatly.

When He Ma saw the environment, she smiled and said, "Your dad is reliable this time. He even cleaned up the construction debris. He used to not even pick up an oil bottle if it fell over."

Actually, there's not much to pack, just some tidying up and taking inventory.

"From now on, we'll put a coal stove here to steam xiaolongbao and dumplings, a stove here to put bone broth on top, and a gas stove here, and we'll make glutinous rice balls right here."

He Wenlin gestured towards the area.

This would attract a lot of people, so He Wenlin directed everyone to arrange the items as if the place was open for business, according to her instructions.

"It's a bit narrow," said Aunt He. "It would be about right if we moved this coal stove outside the door."

Second brother: "What if it rains if we put it outside?"

Lin Fei: "Idiot, we could just put up a sunshade like a fast food restaurant does."

“That’s right, build a sunshade and put this coal stove outside. Buy a sunshade; it can shield us from the sun and also from the rain.” He Wenlin wrote this down.

There's nothing else wrong with it.

The place is small and dine-in is not allowed, so there is not much need for decoration or to buy tables and chairs. He Wenlin's place is much more relaxed.

"Linlin, we don't have cling film, plastic bags, or disposable bowls and chopsticks yet. We also need to buy dish soap and dishcloths, don't forget," He Shan reminded her. "Oh, and we also need to buy chili powder and salt."

He Wenlin wrote them down one by one.

"At that time, the disposable packaging supplies will be placed in this corner. It is essential to ensure that the store is clean and tidy, and there can be no cardboard boxes, as cardboard boxes easily breed cockroaches. I will buy two large turnover boxes for this place to store disposable supplies."

After saying that, He Wenlin added two more turnover boxes to the list of items she wanted to buy.

"Linlin, should we get the wontons and dumplings from the fast food restaurant next time?" Aunt He asked.

"We'll get them from there for now. If we can find someone here to make them, Shanshan can bring the filling over from there and make them here," He Wenlin said. "We'll definitely have to bring the xiaolongbao from there, since Shanshan doesn't know how."

He Shan still hasn't learned how to make xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), but wontons and dumplings are relatively simple, so she can make them here in the future.

"Linlin, make us some wontons to try tomorrow. We're going to sell them ourselves, and I still don't know what they taste like," the second brother said, smacking his lips.

"I've already ordered pork bones from Mr. Liu today. Tomorrow morning, we'll just have wontons."

He Wenlin's wontons only cost 1.5 yuan a bowl, so there was very little meat in them. They were the kind of wontons that had been sold for a year and the pigs had only suffered minor injuries.

If you add more meat filling and still sell it at this price, after deducting the costs of raw materials, labor, water, and electricity, you won't make a profit.

The next morning, just as He Wenlin finished preparing the dough for the steamed buns, Boss Liu brought over meat and bones.

He Wenlin covered the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise.

She blanched the pork bones and then stewed them.

Next, we started preparing the fillings for the steamed buns and wontons.

He Hui arrived around six o'clock.

He Wenlin also needed to prepare the filling for steamed dumplings, so she asked her father to teach her how to make crispy dumplings, starting with kneading the dough.

Dad He prepared one pot first and let He Hui watch it. Dad He then guided He Hui on how to prepare the second pot.

If you want to master the craft quickly, you definitely need to do more and practice more.
