"Mother, you're back!"
Erni happily went to greet her, and Li Rouniang patted her head with a smile. Everything went smoothly today, and it was all thanks to Qian Duobao.
Qian Duobao was also happy. After greeting everyone, Xiuer returned just then. She only heard about these things after she returned, and she sighed with emotion.
Fortunately, Old Man Mo was alright.
After dinner, Qian Duobao said to Li Rouniang, "Aunt Li, I remember you used to sell pastries too. Would you be interested in opening a pastry shop so we can continue selling pastries?"
Li Rouniang nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking too. It's just that we haven't taken the next step yet in terms of site selection and other aspects."
“However, I happen to have a shop here, and I’ll rent it to you as an investment. Then I’ll take 10% of your profits. What do you think?” Qian Duobao suggested. The percentage wasn’t important; what mattered was that it would connect him with the Li family.
"This is too cheap! Isn't this taking advantage of you?" Li Rouniang asked.
"How could that be? When you grow your business, even a 10% profit margin will be substantial. Besides, Erni and I are friends. I just hope everyone can live a peaceful life," Qian Duobao said sincerely.
"Then I'll think about it." Li Rouniang had some reservations.
"How about this, let's go take a look at that shop together tomorrow, and then we can make a decision," Qian Duobao suggested.
"Alright, let's talk about it tomorrow." Li Rouniang nodded. Qian Duobao played with Erni for a while longer before reluctantly leaving.
The next morning, Qian Duobao picked up Li Rou Niang and her entire family and brought them to his shop.
This is a fairly large shop located on a bustling street. There is also a large courtyard at the back, with two floors where people can live.
"This is huge!" Li Rouniang exclaimed.
Da Ni and Er Ni ran up and down the stairs, feeling very happy in this environment.
What pleased Li Rouniang even more was that there was a well in the backyard of the house, which made it even more convenient for them to use water.
"How about it, Aunt Li? What do you think of this shop?" Qian Duobao asked.
"That's absolutely wonderful. But this makes me even more hesitant to accept it," Li Rouniang said.
“No, Aunt Li, we’re in a partnership. I’ll provide the shop, and you’ll provide the technology. We’ll work together to run this typical shop. Then we’ll split the profits 10/90,” Qian Duobao said.
“That won’t do, wouldn’t that be me getting a huge advantage?” Li Rouniang said.
"How could that be? I still have to go to school, and I don't usually come here. You have to take care of everything in the shop. If anyone is getting a good deal, it's me," Qian Duobao said.
"Mom, Sanni likes it here." Sanni ran over with a smile.
The little girl is becoming more and more articulate. Qian Duobao picked up Sanni, the older child holding the younger one, and Li Rouniang was charmed by her cuteness.
“Aunt Li, look, Sanni likes it too,” Qian Duobao said.
“Alright, in that case, I agree to cooperate with you, but the profits can’t be split 10/90, it has to be 50/50,” Li Rou Niang said.
"That won't do. How about this? Just 37g, I can't take any more than that," Qian Duobao said.
"That works too."
The matter was settled, and Qian Duobao quickly found someone to help renovate the shop. Because he was generous with money and proactive in his work, the entire renovation was completed in a single day, following his instructions.
He also cleaned up the place where I stayed later, so it was very convenient that I could move in with just my bags.
Out of selfishness, he filled Erni's little room with lots of things little girls like. Erni was overjoyed, and Qian Duobao also showed a motherly smile, his favoritism was obvious!
“Rou Niang, since that’s the case, I’ll come work for you here. I won’t do processing work outside anymore; this place is so big, you can’t manage it all by yourself. Forget about wages. We’ll talk about it when you’ve earned some money,” Xiu’er said proactively.
In fact, Li Rouniang also had this idea, but she didn't know whether the shop would be profitable, so she didn't dare to bring it up.
Xiuer brought it up herself, and she was happy to hear it; it was true. With so many children in the backyard, making desserts in the front would get quite busy. They definitely needed someone to lend a hand.
"Aunt Li, I have a favor to ask. Could you let me name this pastry shop?" Qian Duobao said shyly.
Li Rouniang thought for a moment and nodded: "Of course it's possible. You're a scholar, so you'd be more suitable to name someone."
Qian Duobao was overjoyed to hear this and immediately ordered someone to make a very fine plaque. It was made from the finest wood and was extremely expensive, but it was indeed very grand in appearance. A red veil was even used to cover it.
Waiting for the opening day, regardless of how bad the name is, just looking at the signboard immediately elevates the level of this pastry shop.
Of course, since this snack was decorated in such a high-end style, Li Rouniang planned to take a high-end approach in this bustling area.
She produces some limited-edition, exquisite, and expensive pastries. As for why she's so confident, it goes without saying that it's because of her spatial water!
She had already mastered the exquisite techniques of making pastries from Liu Niangzi. As long as he used the water from his spatial storage, the quality of the pastries would be impeccable.
Next came the selection of products. They chose exquisite packaging, all small boxes made of fine wood, placed inside elegant food containers. It looked very high-end.
Of course, the price is also incredibly high.
Qian Duobao also deserves credit for this. After all, they have a small team, and if they were to make mass-market snacks, they would be exhausted in a day and wouldn't earn much money. It's better not to make these exquisite and limited-edition items; it's not about quantity, but about quality. This way, they can still make money.
On opening day, Qian Duobao made a big splash, hiring lion dancers to create a lively atmosphere at the entrance. Firecrackers were set off in unison.
Li Si and Zhang San both came to offer their congratulations. Standing next to Zhang San was a straightforward woman, whom Zhang San quickly introduced: "This is my wife. She also wanted to come and have a look, so I brought her along. Congratulations on the opening of your pastry shop."
Li Rouniang quickly greeted her, and Zhang Sanniangzi was quite straightforward; the two chatted very congenially.
Qian Duobao's classmate, Liu Qingfeng, also came and presented a congratulatory gift, since Qian Duobao had shares in the business. Liu's wife and son also arrived. The adults chatted together, while the children played together.
When Da Ni saw Liu Wenyuan, she was momentarily stunned; this young man was just too handsome.
Qian Duobao didn't expect Liu Wenyuan to come. Actually, they were from the same college, but Liu Wenyuan was a bit older than them. They didn't usually interact, but they had met before.
Erni ran around happily. Old Man Mo was even happier, his health had improved, and life was more prosperous. He carried Sanni in his left arm and Xiaoshan in his right, walking back and forth.
Dahe and Erhe were also busy greeting their neighbors.
At that moment, someone shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"
Amidst the booming sound of firecrackers, Li Rouniang and Qian Duobao, one big and one small, unveiled the mystery together.
The signboard clearly read: Bonnie's Pastry Shop.
The name itself is very meaningful!
