Chapter 193
Da Niu is a man of great resolution and decisiveness. Once he makes a decision, he will do it without hesitation. The captain of Da Niu's team is reluctant to let him go. If he were not too old, with Da Niu's physique and personality, he would definitely be a good candidate for training.
Unfortunately, Daniu is over the age of 25. If he can't make any outstanding contributions if he continues to work in the Self-Defense Forces, he will only be a contract worker. Therefore, the captain did not try to keep him. It would be better to let him go out and try his best. If he stays here, it is hard to say when he will be eligible to enter Tibet.
The captain didn't know much about going to Tibet, but he had a comrade who was in charge of engineering in the capital, so he gave Daniu a contact number and asked him to contact this person when he arrived in the capital to see if there was any suitable opportunity.
After thanking the captain for his care over the years, Daniu gave the things that he could not take away and could not sell for much money to the Cai family and the three girls. He also transferred the house to a very kind family. Then, carrying his simple luggage, he boarded the convoy heading north.
When Daniu finally arrived in the capital, Jian Chu's dessert shop was finally rented. The shop they rented this time had been simply decorated, but all of them were simply decorated when they were built, which was not very suitable for the sweet and cute style of the desserts. So in order to save money, he bought paints as before and asked Mu Nan to help add color.
Because the underground city's primary school and university have been basically completed over the years, although there are not many students, all the necessary courses are available, so paints are much easier to buy than outside. The prices are a bit expensive, but the colors are complete and the dates are fresh, so Mu Nan no longer needs to use his own stock to mix them dryly.
The store is not far from where they live, only five minutes' bike ride away, and it is right next to the artificial lake that is under construction. The store is not big, only about 60 to 70 square meters on one floor, and it has to be separated into a cooking room, a sales area, and a seating area. Due to the small area, they can only keep it as simple as possible. The dessert table and display cabinets were all handmade by Yu Zibai and Yu Feng.
Yu Feng has not looked for a job for the time being. He saw that they were very busy running the store. It happened that although he didn't know much else, he knew a little about decoration. As long as he was given the materials, he could build a wall frame.
This time, Jian Chu and his family took over the shop independently without cooperating with anyone. The main reason was that he calculated that he and Yu Zibai could afford the initial investment, and as long as the income and expenditure of the shop could break even and maintain the basic expenses of his family, he would be satisfied. Besides, the population of the underground city is not that large now, so he really doesn't know whether this dessert shop can make money. He might as well do it himself. Otherwise, if he brings his friends along, he will be very stressed if he doesn't make money.
Yu Zibai also said that if he couldn't find a suitable job, he would just open a husband-and-wife shop with Jian Chu.
Although he had worked on a farm for many years, he actually didn't like this job very much. He mainly wanted to learn some planting techniques. At that time, he thought that they would live in Kangyun for the rest of their lives, and growing vegetables at home might be a long-term career, so he made such plans.
Now that I have learned what I should learn, I still want to engage in the professional field I have studied for so many years. Of course, if the employment requirements are too high and I cannot be hired, it would also be nice to open a shop with Jian Chu. He would be responsible for the front desk and Jian Chu would be responsible for the kitchen. We would go to work together and go home together. Just thinking about this would make me feel at peace.
Most people are at work during the day, so they come early. Many jobs are actually short of people, so those who come in will grab the job as long as they can still move, for fear that it will be difficult to find a job when there are too many people in the future. Therefore, the best business time of the day is the morning rush hour and after get off work in the evening. You may not see more than two or three kittens in the whole day.
The security here is very good. It may be because the people coming in now are strictly screened. At the very least, they must not have any bad criminal records, and basically all of them have jobs. Also, it is different here from the outside. There are cameras everywhere on both sides of the street, and you have to scan your identity information to buy anything. Not to mention that if you commit a crime and escape, it will be difficult for you to take a step. If you are kicked out because of this, it will not be worth it.
So when they have nothing to do during the day, Mu Nan and Song Jia will go to Jian Chu's shop. They don't have to worry about what will happen if no one is at home. There is no one in the shop anyway, so they can sit in the shop and chat and surf the Internet, which adds some popularity.
Jian Chu was flipping through a dessert recipe that Mu Nan had found from somewhere, and was trying hard to learn it. Although many of the ingredients in the recipe were not available now, they would get better and better in the future. Only by constantly updating the products could the dessert shop continue to operate for a long time.
Song Jia, who was standing by, holding a lollipop made by Jian Chu, said, "It seems like we will be opening a takeaway business soon."
Jian Chu turned his head and looked: "Takeout?"
Song Jia hummed, "Last time I heard Yu Feng say that it's not our place, but the entire underground city that is going to open a delivery service. I think it's called this name. It delivers food, drinks, and daily necessities in a timely manner, online and offline, just like the errand riders before. When it's opened, you can put your store online, so that your business scope will be wider."
Jian Chu was a little puzzled: "We haven't heard any news, how did Yu Feng know? He doesn't seem to go out much every day."
Mu Nan said, "I'm more curious about how others will deliver things at that time. Other goods are fine. One or two days is not considered a delay. But what about food? Riding a bicycle is too slow and the subway is too crowded."
“An electric car.”
Yu Feng, who had just come in from outside, heard them talking about delivery, so he guessed that they were talking about delivery, and said, "A batch of electric vehicles will be put into use soon, but currently only business organizations can use them. Private individuals cannot get licenses, and they cannot be driven on the road without a license."
Jian Chu asked curiously, "How do you know? I haven't seen any news about this."
Yu Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course I have my own channels. According to the time, the news will be out soon. It will take a while to lay the groundwork first, and it will take more than a month for the official operation."
Mu Nan suddenly had an idea and said, "You can't be the boss behind the scenes, otherwise you know so much about this matter that there is no news about it on the Internet."
Song Jia also followed suit: "Wow, it turns out Brother Feng is a hidden talent. I'm going to tell Xu Ming!"
Yu Feng slapped Song Jia back onto the chair: "Can't you expect some goodness from the little brat?"
Seeing that Yu Feng did not refute Mu Nan's words, Jian Chu keenly realized the problem: "No way, are you really the boss?"
Yu Feng was not embarrassed to be exposed, and smiled and said, "Not really, I can only say that I am one of the investors. There are three investors in total, and I have invested the least, so I don't have much say. At most, I can earn some living expenses every month after the official operation. But we have enough manpower for now, but the vehicles we produce are insufficient, so we can't open many areas for the time being. Anyway, our area is on the operation list, so let's see the market conditions first. If there is money to be made, we will continue to expand the territory. If there is no money to be made, we can talk about it later."
Mu Nan asked: "Does Xu Ming know?"
Yu Feng shrugged: "If he knew, he might think I was cheating and kick me out."
Jian Chu touched his chin and said, "So you have invested all your wealth in it. It hasn't started operating yet and hasn't made any money yet, so it can't be considered a scam, right?"
Yu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, he was really poor now. If he didn't report his family assets now to gain some sympathy, when his ability to make money was exposed in the future, wouldn't that be even more reason to kick him out!
The dreamer who was awakened by Jian Chu immediately turned around and pushed the door to leave. He wanted to go home immediately and cry poor to Xu Ming!
Seeing Yu Feng come in and break a big news within three minutes before leaving, the three people at the table looked at each other in confusion: "What on earth is he doing here?"
Mu Nan: "Maybe he came to tell us that he will be the richest among us in the future."
Song Jia: "Suddenly I hate the rich."
After Yu Feng left, several people sat for a while doing their own things, and then Yu Zibai came back from outside. Although the store's daily sales were not high now, they could still sell some things in the morning and evening. So some ingredients that were not very durable, such as dairy products, had to be purchased at least once every three or two days, if not every day.
There are dairy products for sale in the dungeon, but they are very expensive, almost as expensive as luxury goods. Because of their high price and scarcity, small desserts with a little cream sell particularly well. A cake cup costs about seven or eight yuan, and it is just a thin layer of cream on the surface. Some people can't afford big cakes. A five or six-inch cake, the most basic version, costs seventy or eighty yuan. In comparison, these small cake cups have a better market.
Less than a minute after Yu Zibai came in, Qin Huai's bicycle also stopped at the door.
Mu Nan subconsciously glanced at the time. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon. He quickly got up and ran to open the door: "Brother, why are you here so early today?"
Qin Huai parked the car: "The professor went to the exchange meeting. We don't have anything to do in the afternoon, so we have to go home early."
Qin Huai handed Jian Chu a contact number and said, "This is a colleague in my department. His child is one year old, and he wants to make a dessert table at home to celebrate. You can add him and discuss the details and price."
The dessert table was a big order for them. Jian Chu took the contact information with surprise and thanked him repeatedly.
Qin Huai looked at Mu Nan: "Do you want to stay here and play or go home?"
Qin Huai is back, so of course he is going home. What fun is there outside?
When Mu Nan unlocked the bicycle, Qin Huai had already ridden quite far away. He quickly stretched out his long legs and straddled the bicycle: "Brother, wait for me, why are you riding so fast!"
The person riding in front looked back with a smile and said, "What can I do if your short legs can't catch up with my speed?"
Mu Nan raised his foot pedal and said, "Your personal attack is too much!"
The speed of the bicycle created a light breeze, and the big trees on both sides of the road blocked the light above, creating scattered shadows. Listening to the sound of someone pedaling a bicycle behind him and mumbling to himself, the smile on his lips had never faded since the moment he saw Mu Nan.
He slowed down slightly until Mu Nan caught up to him, then kicked him, trying to vent his anger at the words "short legs".
Qin Huai turned the front of the car to avoid the kick, and did not forget to complain: "Everyone says your legs are short."
Mu Nan roared, "Qin Huai! If you let me catch up with you, you're done for!"
