In the afternoon, after lunch, it was almost one o'clock.

It's lunchtime for everyone.

He Wenlin then carried her bag and money, and rode her bicycle to the bank to deposit the money.

She has a lot of cash on her now. The security situation is bad right now, and there are no surveillance cameras. If it gets stolen, she'll have no one to blame but herself.

Before coming, He Wenlin hadn't counted the money on her, only had a rough idea, so when she arrived at the bank, she first counted how much money she actually had.

He Wenlin first counted out about two hundred yuan, saying that she wouldn't save the money but would use it for making change at the store.

Because her fast food business doesn't have a high average order value, she mostly has small change. He Wenlin tied every two hundred yuan with a rubber band, counted it twice, and there were twelve bundles in total, plus one hundred and three yuan and three jiao.

Twelve bundles, which is two thousand four hundred yuan.

He Wenlin deposited 2,400 yuan.

Her savings have now reached 7,600 yuan!

Although it was already 2000, very few families in rural areas could come up with so much money all at once. In those days, many people couldn't find jobs, and for an ordinary rural family like He Wenlin's, more than seven thousand yuan was a huge sum of money.

But He Wenlin wasn't satisfied; she wanted more!

So we need to keep working hard!

As she left the bank, He Wenlin saw a taxi parked nearby and quickly went up to him, arranging to meet him at the entrance of Caijiang Village Farmers Market at 4:30 the next morning.

Grandma and my second brother are coming early tomorrow morning. The station is a bit far, and there are no buses running so early. It's also difficult to get a taxi in the area where He Wenlin lives, so it's more convenient to arrange a car to pick them up in advance.

Because it was so early, the price was quite high: 40 yuan to go and 20 yuan to come back.

After reaching an agreement, He Wenlin rode her tricycle back home.

It was already 2:15 when I got back to the store.

Everyone is already working.

He Wenlin checked and realized that she probably wouldn't be able to make the cold seaweed salad this afternoon because there was too much seaweed and it was difficult to clean it properly. So she had to change the dishes for the afternoon.

She hurriedly went to the market and bought 23 jin of cauliflower. Dry-fried cauliflower is delicious. Of course, since it's fast food, it's not like ordering à la carte at a restaurant, where they even provide a small stove.

The afternoon dishes were dry-pot cauliflower, oyster mushrooms, and stir-fried celery with pork.

Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

I'll make the kelp tomorrow at noon.

Hongda doesn't have to work overtime tonight; they leave at 6 PM, so He Wenlin isn't under as much pressure.

After buying groceries, He Wenlin sent He Shan to Meihua Garment Factory to pick up the order, while He Wenlin urged her to hurry up and prepare the cauliflower.

The busy crowd didn't notice that as soon as He Shan went out, He Xing followed her.

"Shanshan," He Xing called out.

Hearing the voice, He Shan stopped and turned around: "Uncle Xing, is something the matter?"

"You're going to get orders?"

He Shan knew that He Xing and He Wenlin were competitors, and He Wenlin had told her that things in the store should be kept secret and that she should have a sense of business confidentiality. She didn't know why He Xing was asking her this, so she didn't say anything and remained silent.

Seeing that she didn't speak, He Xing asked again, "How much does Linlin pay you for each order you get?"

Why are you asking this?

"Linlin, do you want to come and work with me? I'll handle the production and delivery, and you can take care of getting orders and selling at the stall. We'll split the profits 50/50. Isn't that better than you working for someone else?"

Linlin was absolutely right!

He Xinglai is trying to poach her!

Linlin was right; He Xing tempted her with half of the profits!

"Your cooking skills aren't as good as Linlin's, and you don't even have a proper shop. How good can your business be if you just make boxed lunches in your dorm?"

Even if I sell 400 yuan a day, I won't get much money, and I still have to bear the risks. Linlin gives me a base salary of 750 yuan a month, and I also get a commission on the orders I bring in. Although the commission is not much, she also gives me bonuses if business is good. She also provides me with food and accommodation. In addition to three meals a day, there are also late-night snacks and popsicles every day. The place where I live has a private bathroom.

"If I partner with you, I don't want half the profits, nor do I want ice cream from you, but you have to give me a monthly salary of 1,300 yuan, provide me with three meals a day, and rent me a place to live."

"She pays you so much?" He Xing was stunned.

So, He Shan earns at least nine hundred yuan a month, plus room and board, which is better than the treatment of skilled workers in the garment factory.

Skilled workers in garment factories earn 1,100 to 1,200 yuan a month, but that doesn't include meals, and the factory has to be profitable to provide enough work.

"Yes, if you don't call Qianqian and Xiaojian back, their salaries won't be low either."

If He Xing hadn't called He Qian and He Jian back, He Wenlin wouldn't have treated the siblings poorly.

He Xing understood this as well.

But he doesn't regret it; who doesn't want to get rich?

He Wenlin earned so much money in such a short time, who wouldn't be envious?

He Xing said again, "Shanshan, no matter how much she pays you, you're still just an employee. If you work with me, you'll be the boss. When the business grows and becomes successful, we can rent a shop. As for accommodation, you can stay in the dormitory with Qianqian."

"Uncle Xing, how can the dormitory compare to Linlin's rented room? Anyway, I won't agree to this unless I get a salary of 1,300 and a separate room for myself."

After saying that, He Shan turned around and rode away on her bicycle.

He Xing called out from behind, "Wait, wait," but He Shan ignored him, pretending not to hear.

He Xing was furious. He hadn't expected He Shan to be so shrewd. 1,300 a month? She really dared to ask for that! Why didn't she just rob her?

...

He Shan received the order from Mei Hua and rushed back.
