Chapter 217 I'd like to invite you to watch a movie

Zhang Chen took the bun and took a bite. It was a braised pork bun. It was neither delicious nor bad. It just tasted very ordinary and a little salty.

"It doesn't taste good, does it? The skin is all shriveled up."

Xiaomei didn't buy much, just two. She ate one on the way. It didn't taste as good as theirs, with less oil and a bit salty.

"Mrs. Li is so shameless. She is imitating others. Our specialty is braised pork buns, but they also sell braised pork buns. It's really infuriating."

Even though they didn't have as many customers and the buns weren't as delicious as theirs, Xiaomei still couldn't help getting angry.

Even though the buns he bought with money were not very delicious, Zhang Chen ate them all. He said, "Harmony brings wealth. Don't be angry, my wife. Our bun shop opened earlier than theirs, and the taste is better than theirs. If the price is the same, customers will definitely come to our shop."

The fact is, he went out for a stroll in the afternoon and found that there were several more restaurants on the street than last year, including breakfast shops, wonton shops, and stir-fry restaurants.

He believes that there will be more and more self-employed businesses in the future, including those opening restaurants.

Fortunately, their store opened first, and if they run it honestly, they will definitely have a lot of customers every day.

Xiaomei said, "I know. It's not that I don't allow them to open a store. I just think the Li family is too shameless. There are so many streets in Beijing. Do they have to open a store on the same street as us?"

Zhang Chen, "Just open it. It's a good opportunity to compare their store with ours, and then customers will know which one is better."

"Mrs. Li asked me how I made the filling for the buns. Luckily I didn't tell her in detail."

At that time, Aunt Li had just started working for a few days. She had buns in the store for lunch and praised them for being delicious. She also asked how the filling was prepared to make it so delicious.

He answered casually, not expecting that the other party wanted to steal his skills.

He should keep his mouth shut from now on.

Xiaomei, "How shameless!"

"Zhang Chen, what do you think we should do if we hire another auntie and she steals our skills like Auntie Li?"

Xiaomei was quite worried about the incident with Aunt Li.

Zhang Chen was helpless, "If we don't recruit, we won't have enough manpower."

There were so many people in the morning that even the two of us were busy.

Actually, two people are not enough, three people are just right.

Currently my grandma is helping, but she is over 70 years old and her body cannot bear it if she keeps helping for a while!

Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Why not bring my parents over?"

It's okay for her parents to stay at home. After all, her own parents are better than outsiders!

Zhang Chen, "Let's not talk about whether my parents are willing or not, the main thing is where are we going to live if we bring them over?"

The couple both live on the second floor of the steamed bun shop. They can't let their parents live on the second floor of their uncle and aunt's stuffed bun shop. Zhang Chen felt embarrassed.

Last year, the couple lived there for half a year.

Xiaomei wilted, "That's right, we don't have a house."

Zhang Chen: "My household registration hasn't been transferred here yet."

Xiaomei sighed, "Yes, let's transfer your household registration first, then return my sister's money, and then we can talk about other things."

They have a lot to do. Zhang Chen's household registration has to be transferred over, which also costs some money. After the household registration is transferred, the couple can buy a yard or a shop.

Xiaomei's idea is to buy another shop, sell clothes or something else that requires less manpower, hire someone to look after it, or call her parents over.

If we bring our parents over, they will definitely need a house first.

As for the house, should we buy it or wait until she graduates and gets a job to assign her a house? We'll see then. It's not something we can do next year, it's definitely not possible this year.

The Gu family has several children who have clear plans for the future, and so do Aoki and Zhang Ning.

They originally planned to save some money after this year and open a clothing store next year like their aunt did, but as summer arrived and the days became longer, they changed their minds.

"Wife, can you tell me that my aunt and I can go to the stall after get off work to get the goods?"

Qingmu was thinking, before Zhang Chen and Xiaomei opened their store, wasn't it Zhang Chen who just carried a pot and hawked it on the street? He could sell buns and clothes, right?

In the summer, there are many people in the square at night. If he goes there to sell clothes, there will be people buying them, right?

Zhang Ning was a little moved, but "If we do this, won't my aunt be angry?"

They are a couple who came here to work, so why are they selling clothes themselves?

Aoki shook his head, "I don't think my aunt would do that. Besides, we'll sell it after get off work, not during working hours."

He was a little anxious. He wanted to settle down in this huge capital with his wife and children as soon as possible and have a shop and a house of their own.

So he wanted to use his break time to make some extra money.

Zhang Ning, "Then ask your aunt tonight."

As the saying goes, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Ren Xiaomei, Zhang Chen, Qingmu, Zhang Ning and others who are married and have families are worried about their families, while Gu's second sister's youngest son Hongjun is busy dating girls.

The person I'm meeting is not someone else, but Aunt Xu's granddaughter Xu Ying.

"Hey, Xu Ying, I have two movie tickets. Let's go see a movie tonight."

Both of them worked in clothing stores. They were young men and pretty girls, and both were single. Under the laws of nature, they were attracted to each other.

After a few interactions, the two of them became very familiar with each other and had some feelings for each other.

It was almost time to get off work. Xu Ying was finishing up the store. When she heard this, she asked, "You don't have much left from last month's salary, do you?"

The Red Army used to work in the county communes. The county was better than the village, with supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned hotels and other places to spend money, but it was still nothing compared to Beijing.

After arriving in Beijing, his monthly salary was 30 yuan, of which Hongjun gave 15 yuan to his family, and he spent the remaining 15 yuan on himself.

Watching movies, buying clothes, shoes, eating and drinking, anyway, it’s spent on yourself.

Now the boy looks like a young man from Beijing, with shiny hair greased up, rubber-soled shoes on his feet, and the most popular clothes and pants in the store.

The boy is very fashionable.

"There's more. It can last until next month when the salary is paid." Hongjun said with a smile.

Xu Ying, "Then I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Xu Ying also handed over her monthly salary to her family, just like the Red Army, half of it and she kept the other half for herself. But unlike the Red Army who spent all their money every month, she only spent five yuan a month at most.

"No way, I'll treat you." Hongjun didn't want the girl he liked to spend money.

Xu Ying, "How can I let Hui Hui invite me? I must come next time. Let's go have Russian food."

Red Army had eaten Russian food many times, with his elder sister, brother-in-law, and his cousins.

"All right then." The Red Army nodded.

Zhang Ning looked at the time and saw that it was only a few minutes before the end of the get off work day, so he said, "Okay, you guys go, we'll take care of the rest."

That’s the good thing about being young, you have no worries. She and Aoki have never watched a movie together.

When will they go to see a movie together?
