That breakfast shop is too small. If you also want to make rice bowls, there's no room to put anything. There's not enough space for packaging materials, washing and chopping vegetables. But it's barely enough for stir-frying.

He Wenlin also needs to save money to buy a car and make a big splash during the Lunar New Year, so she has no plans to open a store this year.

Peng Liang already has existing clients, wouldn't it be a pity to give them up?

Renting a house would allow He Shan to live there, store materials, wash and chop vegetables, and at worst, she could just get another business license to do takeout from home.

Without hesitation, He Wenlin went to the breakfast shop and called her second brother and He Shan to look for a house.

They had already finished preparing and delivered the goods to Hongrui that afternoon, and they were free now.

Since we specialize in food delivery, we only need a house that is close to a factory or a breakfast shop; there are no strict requirements for location selection like when opening a store.

At that time, houses were easy to rent, and He Wenlin was lucky; she quickly rented a garage in the residential area behind the breakfast shop.

The rent here is a bit more expensive than in Caijiang Village. He Wenlin's fast food restaurant rents two rooms in a private house for only eighty yuan, but here it costs one hundred yuan for one room, with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent in advance.

However, the interior has a cement floor and whitewashed walls, making it look clean and hygienic.

Although it's called a garage, many people have converted the first-floor garage into a card room, or a barbershop or convenience store for business.

But it's true that business doesn't look too good.

He Wenlin rented the place to run a food delivery business, and this location is quite suitable.

It's close to the breakfast shop, but you have to go around a bit to get to the breakfast shop on the main street in front. It takes about five or six minutes by bike.

He Wenlin immediately went and bought two large rice cookers, pots and pans, cutting boards and knives, etc., spending eight hundred yuan!

I'm not planning on buying a freezer. If I need frozen meat or something, I'll just use the one from the breakfast shop; it's not far anyway. It's a bit of a hassle, but I don't have the money. I'll just have to make do for now.

Then I bought a gas stove and two large gas cylinders filled with gas, which cost me nine hundred!

He Wenlin took out her phone book again and called Boss Meng to order a refrigerated food truck, a new refrigerated food truck, for six hundred yuan!

This doesn't even include the tables or packaging materials; it's already 2,300 yuan. All the money from the vouchers sold by Meihua Garment Factory has been added to this amount.

It hurts just thinking about it.

He Wenlin said to her second brother and He Shan, "You two need to put in more effort and thought here."

He Shan said, "Linlin, once this place is up and running, I'll also take some time to go out and get orders. Don't worry, this money won't be wasted."

He Shan felt that she was the boss's childhood friend, and could be considered a "royal relative". Moreover, she was an intern store manager, which was a higher position than others. She had also been there longer than others. But now Peng Liang was actually more outstanding than her!

Wow, this has brought in so many delivery orders!

This won't do; she can't let anyone outdo her!

She also had to find time to attract orders; a store manager like herself couldn't be outdone!

That's so embarrassing!

"Okay, same old rules. You'll get a commission on all the orders you bring in. From now on, the breakfast shop will handle the delivery orders for glutinous rice balls, steamed dumplings, xiaolongbao, and wontons, while Brother Er will handle the rice bowls here. Let's open as soon as possible and break even as soon as possible."

She still wants to buy a car!

So we must work harder!

The more orders the better. If we can get the same business as the fast food restaurants in Caijiang Village, we can break even in just one or two months.

Buying these things now isn't enough; we also need to buy a tricycle for delivery.

The existing two tricycles are only enough for the Jiangcun fast food restaurant; we need to get another one.

In addition to the tricycles, there are also large, lidded disposable packaging boxes for storing rice bowls and wontons.

He Wenlin called Boss Zeng and ordered 3,000 each of takeout bags, takeout boxes, and chopsticks.

Both Boss Meng and Boss Zeng need to deliver goods tomorrow.

After all that work, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

He Wenlin's eyelids were drooping.

It was already ten o'clock when I got home.

"How's it going? Have you rented a place?" Mr. He asked.

"Dad, are you and Grandma still awake?"

Grandma He: "Did you wake up after a nap and find a place to rent?"

"Okay, it's rented out. The rent is one hundred, one month's deposit and three months' rent in advance. We can open for business in a couple of days. The only things missing are the packaging materials and the refrigerated truck. Oh, and we haven't bought the vegetables, oil, and salt yet. We'll talk about that tomorrow," He Wenlin said. "Shanshan, your work might need some adjustments by then."

He Shan: "How do we adjust it?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to wash up and go to bed." He Wenlin said, then yawned.

"Zhang Hong ordered another twenty boxes of egg rolls tonight. Of the fifty boxes he ordered yesterday, only one box is left." Mr. He couldn't stop smiling when he thought of this.

"If that's the case, then we'll hire two more temporary workers. Otherwise, we can't keep those few people working more than ten hours a day. Besides, school starts in a few days, and then there won't be anyone left to pack things up."

Currently, there are two people helping out at the fast food restaurant. Ruan Lingfeng and his sister, along with their younger brother, can still help, but they will be starting school soon and won't be able to help anymore.

The business is now large, the fast food restaurant is doing well, and the two newcomers are also doing a good job, so there's no need to worry about this area for the time being.

"Boss Zhang has increased his order volume. Have you told them to come to work earlier tomorrow morning?" He Wenlin asked.

Mr. He: "I notified them that Ruan Jianxin and Li Xiaojuan will come at 5 o'clock. The other one is not available until after 10 o'clock. I told her to come at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and work until 10 o'clock at night. Then I notified Huang Chunxiang to come at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning to cover for her. Anyway, egg rolls are not difficult. Anyone can make them."
