Chapter 301 What is she proud of?
It was cold in December and the shop hadn't been open for a full month, so the revenue could be described as a sharp drop.
Excluding Gu Hongmei's salary of 15 yuan, the net profit was only 700 yuan.
Qian Lan got 70 yuan, and Yu Hui also gave her two kilograms of beef and two kilograms of pork. The money for today's meat was not included in the cost.
This meat is considered as the year-end employee benefits.
Yu Jianshe, Yu Lixin and Yu Hui also gave them two yuan each.
"How much money did you get this month?" Bao Pandi looked at Qian Lan and asked as soon as she returned home.
Qian Lan glanced at her and replied, "Seventy."
"Why is it only seventy? Wasn't it more than one hundred yuan a month before?" Bao Pandi said with a frown.
"Did Xiaoyu lose your money?"
Qian Lan rolled her eyes. "It's been cold this month, so business is slow. Not as many people are lining up outside the store to eat, so naturally, the money is down. Xiao Yu remembers every bill clearly, and I haven't missed a cent."
"How do you know that she didn't cook the books just to give you less money?" Bao Pandi snorted coldly.
Qian Lan: "If she wants to give me less money, she can just kick me out and let her mother-in-law from her hometown help her. Why bother asking me to continue working with her to make money?"
"She can just invite a relative to come over to help, and she doesn't have to give me so much money every month."
After saying that, Qian Lan took the money into the bedroom. She closed the bedroom door and took out the iron box hidden under the bed.
When I opened the lid, there was money inside divided into two parts. One part was the money that I had saved from Qiang's salary over the years, which was only about two hundred yuan.
The other part was what she earned in the past few months. Excluding the money she spent and adding the money she received this month, the total was five hundred and eleven yuan.
Adding the two hundred yuan they saved from Qiang's salary, their family had a total savings of seven hundred yuan.
Qian Lan was worried about keeping so much money at home. If someone stole it, she would lose everything.
Xiao Yu deposited his earnings into the bank every month. She decided that when Xiao Yu went to the bank to deposit money, she would also go to the bank to open an account and deposit all the money into the bank.
The noodle shop closed so early, and many people who still wanted to go there to eat noodles felt very disappointed.
As the weather got colder, braised meat was not selling well, so the shop closed early.
Zheng Jie Xiu and Wen Zhao Di saw that they closed the shop so early and accused them of being lazy and not knowing how to do business.
But after two days, there was no business in the morning and at noon, so I closed the bun shop early.
As soon as the shops outside closed, the canteen, which had always had poor business, started to get more people.
It had been raining and snowing these days, and Yu Hui didn't want to go out, so she didn't go into the city to deposit money. On December 29th, the weather cleared up, so Yu Hui went into the city to deposit money. Qian Lan also took some money and followed her into the city.
Yu Hui deposited the money first. She had a total of 5,000 yuan in savings.
It would take Qian Lan a while to open an account and deposit money. After the money was deposited, the two went shopping in a department store together.
"Xiao Yu, look." As they passed by the clothing counter, Qian Lan took Yu Hui's hand and pointed at the red wool coat hanging on the wall. "That coat is so beautiful."
It was the first time that Qian Lan had seen such a beautiful coat. It was a bright and elegant bright red color, with a lapel and a red belt, which looked very fashionable.
Yu Hui took a look and nodded, saying, "It's indeed beautiful, but it shouldn't be cheap."
I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of dollars.
Qian Lan: "Of course, you see, there's only one. I heard that this kind of woolen coat is very warm and windproof."
"Do you want it?" Yu Hui looked at her and asked.
Qian Lan's eyes showed a hint of longing. She shook her head and said, "I'm already old. If I wear a coat like this, people will laugh at me and say I'm an old cucumber painted green."
"But this color is just right for a girl of your age, especially during the Chinese New Year. It's really festive and appropriate."
Yu Hui was looking at the coat and was about to go over to take a look when she heard a voice say, "Dazhi, look at that red coat. It's so nice."
The voice sounded familiar. Yu Hui turned around and saw Ye Xuelian. She was wearing a camel-colored coat, a white sweater underneath, apricot corduroy pants, and a side braid.
She looked young, beautiful and fashionable, and many people's eyes were on her.
Next to her was a gentle man wearing a gray coat, glasses, and his hair was combed into a 3:7 part with hairspray. He was also carrying a cowhide briefcase in his hand. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
Hao Dazhi pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Seeing so many people looking at his woman, he felt very proud, so he also said something very proud.
"Do you like it? I'll buy it for you."
Ye Xuelian glanced at Yu Hui proudly and said to Hao Dazhi, "I like it, but this coat must be very expensive, so forget it."
It’s not that she really liked the coat, but when she heard Yu Hui wanted to buy it, she wanted to snatch it from her.
Hao Dazhi was the blind date introduced to her by her family. He was 24 years old, came from a well-off family, and was also the secretary of a city leader. He had a bright future.
After the two met for the first time, they were quite satisfied with each other, so they confirmed their relationship and started dating with the intention of getting married.
This was their first date after their blind date. Hao Dazhi said that the weather was cold and he wanted to buy her a dress.
"As long as you like it, I'm not short of money." Hao Dazhi said with his chin raised.
"Then let's go and take a look." Ye Xuelian said with a smile, and walked towards the clothing counter with Hao Dazhi. As she walked past Yu Hui and Qian Lan, she raised her chin proudly.
"What is she proud of?" Qian Lan lowered her voice and asked Yu Hui.
Yu Hui: "...Maybe she's just feeling proud that a man bought her a coat."
Qian Lan curled her lips. What was there to be proud of?
"Since someone has bought this coat, let's go."
Since everyone has bought it, there is no need for them to look at it anymore.
So Yu Hui left with Qian Lan.
"Comrade, how much is this coat?" Hao Dazhi asked, pointing at the coat.
Salesperson: "Two hundred and eighty."
"So..." Hao Dazhi almost said "expensive" and stopped himself in time. He had just said that he had no shortage of money, but now he said it was expensive. Wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
So what?
The salesperson, Ye Xuelian and everyone around were looking at him.
Under the gaze of so many people, Hao Dazhi raised the corner of his mouth and changed his tone, "It's so cheap."
"Xuelian, I was thinking of buying you more expensive clothes, but I didn't expect this coat to be so cheap."
Many people stared at Hao Dazhi speechlessly. He said that clothes that cost 280 yuan were cheap. What was he pretending for?
Ye Xuelian's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be that expensive, this one is good enough."
Hao Dazhi: But I don’t have 280 yuan in my bag, only 100 yuan.
"Why don't we take a look again? I want to buy you better clothes. You deserve better. Let's go upstairs and take a look."
After he said that, he didn't even look at Ye Xuelian's reaction and went straight upstairs.
Ye Xuelian looked at Hao Dazhi's back as he walked upstairs and stood there in a daze. Maybe he remembered it wrongly? There was no wardrobe upstairs.
This is the only ready-to-wear women's clothing counter in this department store.
Hao Dazhi lives nearby and often goes to this state-owned department store, so he must remember it.
"Oh, why pretend to be rich if you don't have money? If you can't afford it, then you can't afford it. And you use the cheap clothes as an excuse. This man is really interesting." The salesperson sneered.
Ye Xuelian's head buzzed. She felt the gazes coming from all directions. She thought those gazes were mocking her, so she quickly lowered her head and ran upstairs.
It was so embarrassing. She had never encountered such an embarrassing thing before. It was even more embarrassing than when she apologized to Yu Hui on the bus.
