Chapter 39 I don’t see many people outside. Is business bad?



In the evening, starting from seven o'clock, there are fewer people on the streets and there are basically no people in the stores.

At half past seven, Bai Wei had finished everything she needed to do.

The store was very clean, today's bills were settled, and more than a dozen bracelets were braided.

Bai Wei walked out and took a look, and decided to close the store early today.

At eight o'clock, Bai Wei arrived home on time, and Lu Siting had just prepared the meal.

The two of them ate a little together, and Bai Wei said, "Business is slow at night, so I think I can leave work early occasionally."

Lu Siting thought she was tired, so he said, "Okay, don't be too tired. If your body can't take it, you can rest at home for two days."

He didn't need to know how much money Bai Wei made. Supporting a family and making money was a man's job. He only agreed to it because he saw that Bai Wei was very persistent and determined, and she loved handicrafts.

After thinking for a while, Lu Siting said, "If you are not busy tomorrow, let's get off work early and go out for a walk and have dinner outside?"

Come to think of it, the two of them haven't gone out together for a while.

Bai Wei actually had the same idea, but before she could say it out loud, her eyes lit up and she nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll be back early in the evening."

the next day.

Bai Wei woke up earlier than usual. When she got up, she just heard the sound of the door closing outside.

I ran to the balcony and just saw Lu Siting's back as he walked out and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the trees.

Time was tight in the morning, so Bai Wei just ate some breakfast, put some cosmetics in her bag, then took her keys and went out.

It has been several months since Bai Wei came into this world, and the number of times she has put on makeup can be counted on one hand.

Nowadays, the cosmetics that you buy are slightly better and are basically all natural. However, if Bai Wei walks around the street, she may find that among twenty women, not even one is wearing makeup.

However, there are more girls wearing makeup near universities.

Bai Wei didn't have time to put on makeup in the morning, so she could only take her cosmetics to the store.

Business in the store is basically stable now, but there will be more people on weekends and holidays.

Bai Wei went to a small restaurant next door to have lunch at noon, and in the afternoon, she sat in the store to put on makeup.

Just after applying skin care products and foundation, Bai Wei looked up inadvertently and saw Shen Juan walk in.

It was exactly 1:30 in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. Shen Juan wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at the empty shop and her pale-faced daughter, feeling a little worried.

"Girl, how is business now? I don't see many people outside. Is business slow?"

“Weiwei, don’t worry if business is not good. Your store has only been open for less than half a month, and people don’t know what you sell yet. Once your store becomes well-known, business will definitely pick up.” Although Shen Juan was worried, she comforted her daughter first.

Bai Wei put down the powder cream and said with a smile: "Mom, you think too much. Actually, the business here is pretty good."

"When we first opened, there were a lot of people every day, probably because of the discounts. Even after the busiest time, the current turnover is stable."

"Although there aren't many customers, I can still make around 10 yuan a day. After deducting costs and rent, it's actually higher than my previous salary at the post office."

Bai Wei smiled and pulled Shen Juan over to sit down, saying, "Working in the post office is good, you won't be unemployed, but the salary is so low every month, and you can't save much money. It's better to open your own store now. Sometimes if there are many people, you can sell nearly 20 yuan a day."

The day when the bracelet was sold for 20 yuan was the day when the twelve zodiac signs bracelet was pre-ordered.

Bai Wei counted the money that night. The money from the sale of jewelry plus the money from various reservations added up to exactly 20 yuan. That was the most she earned in a single day in the past half month.

After Shen Juan heard this, she was surprised, but her heart also gradually relaxed.

Bai Wei resigned so long ago, Shen Juan actually came here several times, but most of the time, Bai Wei was busy.

Shen Juan was worried about disturbing her daughter's business, so she never came in once.

When business was good, Shen Juan worried that her daughter would be tired. When business was bad, she worried that her daughter would lose money and end up being sad.

This is what being a mother is like. She cares a lot about her children, whether they are good or not.

Shen Juan held a large fan, fanning Bai Wei at the same time. She asked, "How do you usually eat at noon? Can you eat on time?"

"There are quite a few places selling food nearby. The nearest one is just to the right when you go out the door. There is a small restaurant there. They have take-away lunch boxes for lunch, which are quite delicious." Bai Wei answered truthfully.

As for whether you can eat on time.

When she was working at the post office, she could go home at a certain time, but now that she runs her own business, she cannot leave the store as long as there are customers.

After all, in this store, from the manager to the clerk, there is only Bai Wei.

Shen Juan felt distressed when she heard this. She looked at her daughter's cheeks carefully again. Her cheeks, which used to be round, had now become pointed with a chin.

Bai Wei likes to eat delicious food and has a big appetite. When eating at home, Shen Juan always cooks according to her taste, so Bai Wei naturally can't resist.

But the lunch boxes sold in small restaurants outside, not to mention whether they are hygienic or not, a lunch box with two taels of rice is not enough for Bai Wei to eat.

"My girl, you look so thin, you're almost skin and bones."

Shen Juan said distressedly: "The food cooked outside is always not as good as the food cooked at home. It's not good to eat too much. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home. I will bring you food at noon in the future."

Skin and bones?

Bai Wei pinched her arm in confusion. It was still the same as before.

In the eyes of a mother, she is only afraid that her child will never have enough to eat.

However, delivering meals is feasible.

Chen Juan and Bai Yaotian's house is not far from here, and before they got married, Bai Yaotian and Bai Wei worked outside, and Chen Juan was only responsible for cooking and cleaning for the two of them at home every day.

Bai Wei suggested, "Mom, now that I'm married, there are only you and Dad living in that house. Dad goes to work every day, and you're bored at home alone. Why don't you come to my store to help?"

The more Bai Wei talked about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Bai Yaotian is a high school teacher and is not at home during the day from Monday to Friday. Shen Juan is alone at home and can come to the store to help out if she is bored occasionally.

Bai Wei was tired of eating out at restaurants every day for lunch. She hadn't eaten Chen Juan's cooking for a while and she missed it a little.

Shen Juan said, “Then I’ll go buy an insulated lunch box, cook it later in the morning, and bring it to you before noon.”

Shen Juan also agreed, as she had always wanted to help her daughter.

Eating out at a restaurant would cost at least 20 cents, and that might not even fill you up. Bai Wei was still young, so it would be better for her to save the money.

The young couple has just gotten married, and there will be many places where they will need to spend money.

Shen Juan said, "Then it's settled. I'll bring you food starting tomorrow at noon. If I have nothing to do at home, I'll come to the store to help you."
