Chapter 72 Small Profits, Quick Turnover
The store was bustling with people all day long, all of whom were residents of the Xinhe community, and some people from the industrial zone also came to buy things.
The shelves were restocked again and again. Fortunately, there were enough goods stocked in the warehouse at the back. After a busy day, I even had a few bites of lunch in the store. Finally, it was evening and there were fewer customers.
The three of them were starving and had no motivation at all. Fortunately, Yang Fangqin brought them food in time.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhong Hui said, and couldn't wait to open the lunch box and started eating.
"Our boss Zhong is really tired today." Yang Fangqin joked.
"Not tired, not tired. I can't be afraid of being tired when it comes to making money." Zhong Hui shook her head with a puffed mouth.
Yang Fangqin smiled and shook her head: "Eat quickly."
After dinner, Yang Fangqin went back first. Seeing that there were not many people in the store, Zhong Hui asked Xiao Nie to take stock of today's income.
Her small supermarket is also equipped with a cash register, so the accounts are clear at a glance. She can see today's profits with just a few taps.
"Sister Hui, as of now, our store's turnover today is more than 24,000." Xiao Nie was also shocked by the number.
Zhong Hui was able to remain calm: "The turnover is high, but we still have to deduct the costs and see how much profit we can make."
"Okay." Xiao Nie checked again, "Sister Hui, after deducting the cost, the profit today is over 3,000."
Xiao Nie's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that this small supermarket could make so much money in a day.
Zhong Ping heard this and hurried over: "Is it really that much?"
"When I was doing seafood business, I didn't even have half of this." Moreover, the cost of doing seafood business is much higher, and there are also losses.
"This is just the opening day. Business won't be this good in the future." Zhong Hui said with a smile, fearing that they were expecting too much.
"We know this. Normally, it's good enough to get one-third of what we have today." Xiao Nie said.
"Yes, it's a small supermarket. We sell at low prices but high volume. If we can make a few hundred dollars a day, that's pretty good," Zhong Hui said again.
"Okay, we're all exhausted after a long day, let's go back." It was eight o'clock and Zhong Hui was ready to close the shop.
Xiao Nie was still a little hesitant: "Sister Hui, can we close the shop now? I'm afraid there are still customers who want to buy things."
Zhong Hui looked outside. Xinhe Community had not developed that well yet. At this time, the street lights were dim.
"Forget it, let's just close the shop. We're all exhausted today." Zhong Hui said, "As for money, there's no end to it. We have to open the shop tomorrow."
"Okay, we support Sister Hui." Xiao Nie said immediately.
Aunt Meihua just happened to pull down the shutter door and came to tell them to leave together: "It's closed, it's closed."
"Hey, here I come."
After locking the shop door, several people walked home together.
Arriving downstairs at Zhong Hui's house, Xiao Nie said goodbye to them and went home. Zhong Hui waved at her and said, "Go back and have a good rest."
Xiao Nie smiled and nodded. She was not tired yet and was full of energy.
Zhong Hui glanced at the direction Xiao Nie was going. There was a dark shadow there. It seemed to be Zheng Benming. Zhong Hui was about to say hello when she saw him quickly retreat.
It was strange. Zhong Hui frowned and shook her head, not understanding.
They got into the elevator together, and Aunt Meihua asked, "How's business going? Is it okay today?"
"It's pretty good, Auntie. How's your fruit shop?"
"Great, great. It's a good idea to open this fruit shop. We are the only one in our community and our business is booming." Aunt Meihua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"That's good as long as business is good." Zhong Hui nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, Zhong Hui remembered something: "Aunt, when is Tingwen going to hold the banquet? You must inform us as soon as possible."
Aunt Meihua frowned. "When it comes to this, I get irritable. I say we don't need to have a wedding banquet, just get a marriage certificate. I also say what's popular among young people nowadays, oh, traveling to get married."
"Travel and get married?" Zhong Hui didn't understand either.
"That's right. I didn't understand it either. Tingwen explained it to me and said that if we just go on a trip together, it would be considered a marriage." Aunt Meihua was helpless.
"I see. Young people nowadays have really trendy ideas," said Zhong Hui.
"Who says they aren't? They are indeed trendy. It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to get back all the money I've given out over the years." Aunt Meihua curled her lips.
Zhong Hui comforted her: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if we can't get the wedding back. We can still have a full moon banquet."
Aunt Meihua became happy again: "That's right."
The elevator reached the fifth floor. Zhong Hui and Zhong Ping went down first, while Aunt Meihua and the others had to go up one floor.
Uncle Xiuye hadn't said anything the whole time. He just listened to their conversation. When they got out of the elevator, he couldn't help but ask, "Meihua, why do I feel like there's something wrong between Tingwen and Nana?"
"What's wrong?" Aunt Meihua asked back. She didn't notice anything.
"It just feels a little strange." Uncle Xiuye frowned, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
"You must be overthinking it. Nana is pregnant and the marriage certificate has been torn up. What else could be the problem?" Aunt Meihua waved her hand indifferently.
Now the house has been bought for them. Although the house is in the name of the daughter-in-law, it is ultimately for the couple to live in. Now that the family is rich, Aunt Meihua doesn't care about this little money anymore.
"Well, I hope I'm overthinking it." Uncle Xiuye muttered.
Zhong Hui and Zhong Ping returned home, washed up, and lay down on the sofa. Zhong Hui was still telling He Yanqing in the morning that she had two capable assistants and she, as the boss, only needed to show up. She never expected that it would be busy in the afternoon and she would have to help with the cashier.
"Mom, you have worked hard." The two little ones at home saw that they all looked tired, so they ran out to give them a back massage.
"Thank you, thank you Linlin and Xiaojuan." Zhong Hui said happily.
"Thank you, Xiaojuan." Zhong Ping touched her daughter's face.
Xiaojuan blushed a little when she heard Zhong Ping praising her. It was the first time in her life that she heard her mother praise her.
"Okay, Mommy feels much better now. Linlin, you should go study. You have an exam the day after tomorrow." Zhong Hui enjoyed herself for a while, then let Linlin go review.
"Yeah." Zhong Linlin stopped and took Xiaojuan into the bedroom to review.
"Obviously, Linlin is the younger sister and Xiaojuan is the older sister, but among these two children, Xiaojuan listens to Linlin and acts like Linlin's younger sister." Seeing Linlin holding Xiaojuan's hand and entering the bedroom, Zhong Hui couldn't help laughing.
"Both sisters are fine, as long as the two children get along well." Zhong Ping said.
"Yeah, that's true." Zhong Hui was quite relieved that the two children didn't quarrel and were affectionate with each other.
