Chapter 57: 80,000 Yuan Repayment is Hopeful
It only took about ten minutes for the parents to pick up their goods. After chatting with Zhao Xiaojing for a few more minutes, they left reluctantly.
Zhao Xiaojing took a look and saw that there was only one bag left in front of her, ten kilograms of squid, size 12.
"Hi, boss, I'm No. 12." Guo Gaoang came over to say hello after seeing that everyone had left, wanting to see if the boss recognized him.
"Okay, okay, this one is yours." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the person who came, and without any hesitation, she quickly picked up the bag and handed it over.
"Boss, do you know me? Is your name Jing? We seem to be high school classmates." Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing didn't recognize him, Guo Gaoang took the initiative to ask.
"Really? My name is Zhao Xiaojing, and we are classmates?" Zhao Xiaojing looked at the man in front of her again, but didn't have any impression of him.
"Yes, yes, Zhao Xiaojing! That's right, it's you! I'm Guo Gaoang, and before..."
Guo Gaoang confirmed that the person in front of him was his classmate, and he became excited and started talking about the past.
"Yes, yes, I remember now."
Zhao Xiaojing listened to his description and remembered the person in front of her.
"By the way, old classmate, I'm sorry for what happened before. It's my ex-girlfriend. She's a very sensitive person and likes to go crazy and send random messages...that's it!" Guo Gaoang scratched his head and apologized. When he found that Zhao Xiaojing didn't seem to know what he meant, he took out his phone to show her.
"Oh, this! I deleted it because I was afraid of trouble."
Zhao Xiaojing smiled awkwardly. When she saw the message, she felt that the person was mentally unstable, and she couldn't remember who the WeChat owner was, so she simply deleted it to keep herself safe, but she didn't have the courage to say it.
"Then do you remember why she asked you to send these? I find it incomprehensible." Guo Gaoang continued to ask.
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaojing took out her cell phone and started looking through it.
"It must be because of this, right?" Zhao Xiaojing handed the phone to Guo Gaoang. Guo Gaoang finally understood what was going on after taking a look at it, and felt that his ex-girlfriend was unreasonable.
That was a sweet soup photo Zhao Xiaojing posted on her Moments.
He was bored that day and saw a photo of a particularly tempting sweet soup posted by someone on his WeChat Moments. His instinct as a store explorer told him that it must be delicious, so he replied three times in a row on WeChat Moments, asking for the location of the sweet soup shop.
Later, Zhao Xiaojing replied that she did it herself, and he replied again asking her to open a store in the original place.
That's it.
"This... I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll add you again." Guo Gaoang apologized again, picked up the phone and added Zhao Xiaojing again.
"It's okay, it's okay. I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
"You're so amazing now. The bowl of qingbuliang in the photo made me order a few more takeout desserts that day. Is that what you're selling?"
"I have this plan, but I'm not ready yet."
"Really? Then tell me when you're going to sell the sweet soup! Your bowl is pretty authentic. I think the ingredients are the same as the ones I had in Hai Province before!"
Seeing that the misunderstanding was finally cleared up, Guo Gaoang asked about Zhao Xiaojing's recent situation. The two chatted for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving.
As soon as he left, Guo Gaoang excitedly took out his mobile phone, found Wei Liguo in the address book and called him.
Beep...
Li Jingying, who was sitting in the coffee shop, looked more and more unhappy as she stared at Wei Liguo who was holding up his cell phone and answering the call.
Wei Liguo looked more and more guilty, and he glanced at her from time to time.
When Guo Gaoang mentioned Zhao Xiaojing's name again, Wei Liguo once again forced the subject to change and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Yingying, this is none of my business, right? You heard it too. He kept mentioning it to me..."
"Doesn't he know you have a girlfriend? Did you block him the last time he asked you to post on WeChat Moments?"
"How is that possible! Who knows what he was thinking? Maybe he didn't see it..."
"You didn't see it on your Moments, and you didn't mention it when we met in private, right?" Li Jingying glared at Wei Liguo. "Or maybe he understands you too well, knows you're infatuated, and rushed to tell you as soon as he got any news about your ex!"
"Why would I be so obsessed with you? I'm only obsessed with you. There's no such thing as an old lover. This happened eight hundred years ago! Who knows what's wrong with Guo Gaoang? Please don't be angry with me because of him, okay?"
Wei Liguo moved his chair and sat closer, put his arm around Li Jingying, and kept coaxing her.
"You mean he told you all this on purpose even though he knew you had a girlfriend?" Li Jingying looked at the person next to her suspiciously.
"I really don't know what he means. It's not easy for me to ask him, right? Look, I haven't paid much attention to him yet! When has it not been him who came to me?"
Li Jingying didn't say anything. Seeing this, Wei Liguo confessed a few more words, and the two of them soon stopped arguing again.
After returning home in the evening, Li Jingying took out her mobile phone with a sullen face and checked Douyin.
Last time, she discovered that Wei Liguo followed the person who posted the video of Zhao Xiaojing selling fried skewers. After unfollowing Wei Liguo's account, she went home and secretly searched for the account and followed that person with a secondary account.
The owner of the account was very active, and she had been secretly watching him during this period. She also knew that Zhao Xiaojing no longer set up a stall in front of the school.
She felt so angry when she thought about the 30,000 yuan she had to pay to those five people for nothing because of Zhao Xiaojing's stall.
She was secretly pleased when she saw Zhao Xiaojing disappear from the school gate, thinking that she was finally scared and didn't even dare to set up a stall, so the money was well spent.
Unexpectedly, this person's ghost still lingered and appeared in front of Wei Liguo again in other ways!
Li Jingying was searching Douyin and just clicked into the person's account when she saw the new video he had posted today. Sure enough, she saw Zhao Xiaojing again! Even the stall hadn't changed!
Li Jingying was so angry that she threw her phone on the table.
After thinking about it, he picked it up again, pretending to be an old fan of the fried skewers stall and sent a private message to the owner of the account, asking diligently for the new address of the fried skewers stall.
Then he clicked on Guo Gaoang's account, which he had been secretly following for a long time, flipped through it angrily, and continued to leave negative comments...
…
On the other side, Zhao Xiaojing returned home and began to carefully count the accounts.
Today is the first day of officially selling this kind of semi-finished fried skewers. Parents in the group are quite active in placing orders, and a total of 103 kilograms have been ordered.
Zhao Xiaojing bought the squid tentacles frozen at the vegetable market early in the morning. She chose medium-sized and better-quality ones, which cost 45 yuan per pound at wholesale.
A pound of squid tentacles coated with batter weighs only about seven ounces when fried. Zhao Xiaojing bought 150 pounds and fried them all today. After weighing them, there was not much left.
Adding oil, flour, seasonings, and packaging boxes, the cost per pound is about 71 yuan, and Zhao Xiaojing set the price at 100 yuan per pound.
In addition, squid tentacles are more troublesome to handle, as they require peeling the skin, removing the bones, and removing the teeth. Zhao Xiaojing did not have enough time to do it alone, so she asked the boss to help her find a part-time aunt who cleaned everything up and gave her an additional 300 yuan.
Squid tentacles are relatively expensive, so Zhao Xiaojing tried her best to compress her profit margin, but despite this, she still made a net profit of nearly 2,700 yuan today.
This is just the first day. As the number of customers increases, profits will continue to increase.
If I could keep this up, paying back the 80,000 yuan by the end of the year wouldn't be a problem at all! Zhao Xiaojing felt almost like she was dreaming. She covered her pounding heart and tried to appear calm.
