Zhu Meiqun chose to set up a stall to sell wontons in front of the school. This was a new business she started after trying other ways.
Selling roasted sweet potatoes does have low costs and a low threshold, and it seems that anyone can do this business. But after doing it for a while, Zhu Meiqun found that the money earned from selling roasted sweet potatoes was not as much as he had imagined.
It's okay to make a living, but if you want to buy a house for Wen Kai by selling roasted sweet potatoes, it will take forever. Roasted sweet potatoes these days are not as expensive as they will be in a decade or so. Moreover, eating too much sweet potatoes will cause bloating. People will buy some occasionally to satisfy their cravings but will not eat them for three meals a day.
make money.
But not earning enough.
After deducting costs and daily expenses, the actual profit is not much higher than Zhu Meiqun's income from work.
The money is a little more, but it is more tiring than working. The factory has holidays, but if you run your own business, you will lose your income if you take a day off. It would be strange if Zhu Meiqun is not anxious.
And I will have to pay for my own social security in the future. It would be better to go back to work if I do the math!
Uncle Wen did not blame his wife. He gave Zhu Meiqun a way out and told her to go back to work. If business was so good, wouldn't everyone be a big boss?
I've tried it, but it's not what I want. Then I can only make money by scraping together some money.
Uncle Wen thought that if it really didn't work out, he would take another job, one job during the day and another at night, such as driving a night taxi or something.
Zhu Meiqun naturally could not agree to this proposal.
Who can work day and night? Night shift drivers should sleep and rest at home during the day!
Zhu Meiqun told her husband that she wanted to try again.
If selling roasted sweet potatoes doesn’t make enough money, what about selling something else?
As for what to sell, Zhu Meiqun considered it for several days.
At first, she thought of selling buns, noodles, soy milk, fried dough sticks, etc.
When selling snacks like this, you have to open them either early or late.
Selling in the morning means earning breakfast money, and selling in the evening means selling until midnight.
People in Chengdu like to have fun. Some night owls stay out until the early morning and then come out of bars and other places. When they are half drunk, they will look for midnight snacks on the street. This kind of midnight snack is commonly known as "ghost food".
Selling breakfast and ghost food is quite competitive and very tiring. Zhu Meiqun tried making buns for two days. Not only did she have to get up very early to knead the dough, but her bun-making skills were not good. The buns she made were not good-looking and not marketable, so she basically sold none of them. Zhu Meiqun wanted to cry looking at a pile of ugly buns.
Doing business is not as easy as you think!
Wen Changlin, the third son of the Wen family, came to visit his eldest sister-in-law. After tasting the buns, he was also worried.
The filling tastes good, but the dough is really not good - the skill can definitely be practiced. If Zhu Meiqun really wants to make buns, she will naturally improve her skills after practicing for a day or two. But isn’t Zhu Meiqun anxious!
Zhu Meiqun is anxious to make money.
Even though the family still had some savings and was not waiting to make a living, Zhu Meiqun could feel an invisible whip whipping her from behind.
She would ride her tricycle around to sell roasted sweet potatoes and inquire about the housing prices in various districts of Chengdu.
New houses with elevators are of course very expensive.
Buildings without elevators are also expensive, but not as out of reach as Zhu Meiqun originally thought.
If I could lower my requirements for the floor and house size a little bit... maybe there would really be hope of buying an apartment for my son Wen Kai in the provincial capital!
Zhu Meiqun was anxious.
No matter where she went, the thing she heard most was that housing prices in Chengdu would continue to rise, so she was anxious, worried that the speed at which she could make money could not keep up with the speed at which house prices rose!
As a human being, you never know your limits unless you push yourself. Zhu Meiqun may have used his brain more than he did after arriving in Chengdu in the first half of his life. After two or three attempts, Zhu Meiqun decided to sell wontons.
Wontons are not as filling as steamed buns or noodles. They are small and even smaller than the local "chaoshou" in Chengdu. But wontons have their own advantages. The skill of making wontons is not as complicated as making steamed buns. Once you become proficient in it, you can make wontons very quickly. It doesn't take too long from putting them in the pot to serving them to the customers.
One bite at a time, a bowl of wontons is finished before you know it. In winter, drinking a bowl of hot soup with seaweed and dried shrimps will make you feel relaxed all over!
The wonton business was booming, and Zhu Meiqun had a fixed street to set up her stall. She also did not give up the roasted sweet potato business, as it would not be a problem if she put it next to the stall. The main reason was that she could not find a vendor who could take over the tools for roasting sweet potatoes, and Zhu Meiqun was reluctant to waste money.
The location of the stall is also particular. Zhu Meiqun does not set up stalls in front of the university gate in the morning. College students either eat in the cafeteria in the morning or simply skip breakfast. She sets up stalls in other places in the morning and comes back in the afternoon.
Today, Zhu Meiqun's wonton stall business was particularly good. Someone ordered dozens of bowls at a time. Zhu Meiqun was in a panic for fear of losing the big business.
Fortunately, the customer seemed very patient and did not choose any other stall. He also asked Zhu Meiqun if he came to set up the stall every day recently.
"Come, of course I'll come!"
"Okay, then we'll come find you here when we need to buy wontons these two days."
The staff saw that Zhu Meiqun's stall was very clean, unlike some temporary stalls that were greasy. It didn't matter which stall you buy from, it would be better to buy from this clean one.
“Okay, okay…”
Zhu Meiqun was very happy.
The crew was also happy because everyone said the wontons were delicious after they were brought back to the set.
The stage manager tasted it and thought it tasted just average, just an ordinary wonton.
But everyone says it tastes good, why is that?
Seeing the heroine Li Mengjiao finish her own bowl of wontons and then lean over to Wen Ying, as if wanting to try hers, the stagehand knew the answer very well:
—The person who is treating the guests is different!
Having worked in many groups, the one with the highest status as screenwriter was "Star River With You". Some pitiful screenwriters were often forced by the director or the leading actor to change the script. Of course, "Star River With You" has been revised since the filming began, but those were revised by Wen Ying herself, for the sake of excellence, not because she was forced by anyone.
So Wen Ying doesn't have to come to the shooting site often, as the scene is filled with legends about Boss Wen.
…
Boss Wen enjoyed extremely high treatment on the crew, and when he returned home he was a good high school student again.
While her parents were at home, Wen Ying told them about her encounter with her aunt Zhu Meiqun:
"I think my aunt's business is doing pretty well!"
Treating the crew to wontons was the icing on the cake for Zhu Meiqun. Even without Wen Ying's help, Zhu Meiqun's business could still continue.
Chen Ru was naturally surprised.
Zhu Meiqun really never asked Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong for help.
Chen Ru glanced at Wen Dongrong, who seemed to have suffered great humiliation. "What are you looking at me with? I really didn't help my sister-in-law secretly!"
Even if he wants to help, what can he do?
All wages were handed over.
Relying on the filial piety money given by black-hearted cotton?
Whether or not one can continue to run a small business in Chengdu has nothing to do with money. Zhu Meiqun has no shortage of capital!
Wen Dongrong is in a very complicated mood now.
There is a sense of loss for not being asked for help, but also an inexplicable sense of pride.
——Because the Wen family did not seek help from him and settled in Rongcheng on their own, Wen Dongrong's long-lost confidence as the head of the family was restored!
