Chapter 199 Sister Yi treats us as outsiders?
The two families checked the details in the store, paid the rent with one hand and signed the contract with the other hand, agreed on the time to pay the rent next year, and Fan Qingyi took a basket of tomatoes, cucumbers and summer vegetables from the car to the landlord.
The landlord was delighted, "Sister Fan is a generous person, and her business will surely prosper in the future and her wealth will increase."
"Thank you for your good words."
The landlord left an address and told her to come to his house if she had any problems, and she could use the store as she wanted.
Fan Qingyi thanked him.
When we were having lunch at noon, I mentioned to Deputy Factory Manager Liu Zhou Tao, his secretary, "If there are any tables, chairs, and benches that have been replaced in the factory cafeteria, I will buy them and repair them and put them next door..."
Zhou Tao smiled, "Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria later to ask, pick out the good ones, and let you know in the evening."
Fan Qingyi smiled and brought Zhou Tao a plate of beef rolls and a plate of vegetable platter. Zhou
Tao didn't come out for dinner, and asked someone to tell him that he couldn't come out because of a meeting in the factory. He would ask someone to deliver the tables, chairs, and benches he had picked after dark. Many of them were missing limbs and needed to be repaired before they could be used.
When it was dark, there were indeed five or six people, each carrying a table and a few benches to Good Luck.
Fan Qingyi opened the shop next door and let them put them in.
The few people ran back and forth twice and brought back 15 tables, 40 to 50 benches, and some table legs and bench legs to Fan Qingyi.
"Thank you for your hard work. There is a hot pot over there. Eat something to warm your body."
The few people smiled and waved their hands, "... wait for sister-in-law to send us an extra plate of sugar-mixed cherry tomatoes tomorrow."
"Okay, one plate per person, sister-in-law will remember it for you all." Fan Qingyi also smiled.
The few people hugged each other's shoulders and walked away talking and laughing.
Seeing this, Jiang Luhe opened her mouth to say something, but closed it hesitantly.
The next day, Fan Qingyi called Liu Feifei and asked her and Liu Chengcai to come to the store together when they were free.
She only informed Liu Feifei of the store expansion over the phone. Liu Feifei said that she would not care about anything else, as long as Fan Qingyi thought it was feasible, she would fully support it.
Hearing that the contract had been signed and that a lot of tables, chairs and benches had been bought from the factory, she happily agreed and asked her cousin to take a leave to go there.
The call was made in the morning, and the two of them came during lunch.
It happened that Fan Qingyi and Zhou Tao were calculating the money, because they were all discarded and were just idle items in the factory, and they were not worth much.
Although Zhou Tao was just a secretary, he was also Deputy Factory Manager Liu's man, and the canteen director did not have the courage to offend him.
So he only asked for three yuan symbolically.
Fan Qingyi took advantage of the situation and sent Zhoutao beef rolls and vegetable platters for two days in a row. Today, he even ordered a portion of sugar-coated tomatoes.
The money had to be transferred to the account, and Zhoutao took it without hesitation.
Turning around, he saw Liu Feifei and greeted her with a smile.
After he left, Fan Qingyi took the two of them to the next room to look at the tables, chairs, and benches. Liu Chengcai looked at them one by one and said, "It's not a big deal. I can clean it up in an afternoon. But this table looks dirty. Can I add some cement to make it level? And then put some whitewash on it?"
He looked at Fan Qingyi.
Fan Qing smiled, "That's why I called you here. You can do whatever you want now."
"Hehe, I just like Sister Yiyi's straightforwardness."
Liu Chengcai raised his eyebrows and smiled, rubbing his hands, "Then I'll go back and prepare the family stuff, and call two helpers. Sister Yiyi, just watch."
Liu Feifei laughed and cursed.
Liu Chengcai ran away.
"Have lunch before you leave..."
Liu Chengcai waved his hands, "We'll have lunch at the party. Sister Yiyi, please save three pots for me."
Fan Qing smiled and agreed. After watching him ride away on his bike, he pulled Liu Feifei into the store to eat.
The store was still busy, the Jiang sisters were busy, Song Chengran was adding condiments, the sisters were washing and cutting vegetables in the back kitchen, and the little one was sitting on a wooden board in the corner, sandwiched between two quilts, for fear that she would fall down.
Li Shanhu had a look of despair on her face, looking at Liu Feifei who came in to see her.
"Hahaha, what's wrong with Doudou?"
Liu Feifei trotted over, hugged the little girl and kissed her first, Li Shanhu nestled in her arms and sighed deeply.
Fan Qingyi couldn't help laughing, "The store was too busy to handle the expansion, so we asked the second sister Yanhong to help. Sister Luhe was afraid that she would climb down from the wooden board, so she covered her with a quilt, and this little girl has been frowning all the time."
She could hear her little daughter's voice, but others couldn't.
Jiang Luhe meant well, she said it several times, but every time she turned around, she always saw her little daughter trapped in the quilt, feeling helpless and amused.
Li Shanhu rolled her eyes at her mother and cried fake tears, [My mother doesn't love me anymore for not saving my child...]
Liu Feifei laughed.
She lowered her head and kissed Li Shanhu's face hard a few more times.
"Doudou is so good, she knows everyone is busy, but she just sits there and doesn't go anywhere, right?"
Li Shanhu gave Liu Feifei a weak look.
In return, Liu Feifei laughed again and praised her for being adorable.
Li Shanhu gave Fan Qingyi a miserable look, [Alas, little cabbage, you are not even two years old, and your mother doesn't love you anymore...]
Fan Qingyi, "..."
This naughty child.
Liu Feifei had to go to work in the afternoon. Fan Qingyi briefly told her about the arrangement and plan for the store next door. Liu Feifei kept nodding and saying yes.
Fan Qingyi smiled, "If you think it's okay, then I'll find someone to cook hot pot. After the first month of the year, I can start making money."
Make money?
Liu Feifei stuffed her mouth with food and asked Fan Qingyi with sparkling eyes, "Sister Yiyi, by the end of this year, can I become a wealthy woman?"
"...I will work hard to make you a wealthy woman." Fan Qingyi smiled.
Liu Feifei shook her head again, "I just said it casually, sister Yiyi, you follow your plan. By the way, my family will have a family dinner in a few days to celebrate Second Uncle..."
She glanced at the textile factory and lowered her voice, "... to celebrate Second Uncle's promotion. My grandmother and her family are coming from the provincial capital. Second Uncle asked you to go too and introduce you to his family."
"…Is this appropriate?"
Fan Qingyi also took a look and hesitated.
"Sister Yiyi, do you treat us as outsiders?" Liu Feifei asked back.
Fan Qingyi shook his head and smiled, "Then you have to tell me what grandpa and grandma like to eat, so that I can prepare some in advance and bring them over..."
Liu Feifei smiled immediately, counting on her fingers and telling her what the old people liked to eat.
In the afternoon, Liu Chengcai came over with his friends and brought two buckets of paint he had figured out himself. He said it would not rot or dissolve when exposed to water, and the color was still bright.
Fan Qingyi said she didn't care and just prepared food for the three of them.
After dinner, the three of them got busy.
Within two days, the tables, chairs and benches were cleaned up, but Fan Qingyi didn't take out the copper pot directly, but waited for another week before taking it out.
Vegetables and meat are all ready, and the family version of Enjoyable Hotpot did not choose any auspicious day and went straight into business.
A special place was reserved for Song Youwei's oden, and the oden was moved from outside the store to inside the store.
No need to suffer from freezing in the winter and being exposed to the sun in the summer.
As the store expanded and the customer flow increased, the sales of oden also rose sharply.
On this day, an old couple who looked rich and had plenty of time came to the store. As soon as they came in, they poked their heads in and looked inside, chattering in their hearts.
[Where is my great granddaughter, my smart, clever, beautiful and lovely great granddaughter...]
