Xu Ke was able to marry into her current husband's family thanks to Yuan Jia's help. Now Yuan Jia can't even take care of herself, so how can Xu Ke stay out of trouble?
Fortunately, Xu Ke's in-laws were respectable people. They did not make a big fuss to kick Xu Ke out of the house. Instead, they persuaded Xu Ke to quietly divorce her husband and go abroad to accompany her grandson to study.
Although Xu Ke is uneducated and cannot speak English, he can still do laundry, cooking and cleaning.
Compared with Yuan Jia and the Yuan family, this outcome was already very good for Xu Ke.
With Xu Ke gone, Yuan Jia’s lifeline was gone and he could only accept the three-month detention sentence.
Meanwhile in Jiang City, Ling Chunhua's dessert cart ran into trouble and was confiscated by industrial and commercial law enforcement officers for "operating on the road without a license."
The cause was a report from the public. Zeng Xingguo couldn't be partial. Although he quietly returned the sugar water cart to Yun Mo afterwards, he certainly couldn't run the business anymore.
And this matter was naturally the work of Kang Xiaorou.
Her so-called solution is to make Chunhua Tangshui no longer in business, so that all customers will return to her Bingzhilian to buy handmade ice jelly.
This idea is not wrong, but she forgot that the essence of making food is to make it delicious.
In order to save costs, Bing Zhilian always keeps the ingredients that were not sold out the previous day and continues to sell them the next day. This saves a lot of costs, but it greatly affects the texture and taste of the syrup. If customers find the food unpalatable once, they naturally won't come back again.
So, not surprisingly, Bing Zhilian's business did not improve due to the closure of Chunhua Tangshui, but instead got worse.
The heat of midsummer.
The cicadas chirped tirelessly, and Ling Chunhua was like the flowers in the yard that were wilted by the scorching sun, listlessly holding her chin in her hand and staring blankly.
Yun Mo came out of the study and saw her niece staring at the cart, and she sighed slightly.
"Spring flowers."
"Aunt."
Ling Chunhua's voice used to be crisp, but today it sounded weak, as if she hadn't eaten.
Yun Mo sat down next to her and reached out to touch her furry head.
"Want to go to the movies?"
Ling Chunhua shook her head.
"Then go to the library to buy books?"
Ling Chunhua still shook her head.
"How about we take Dabai and Erbai to the river tomorrow to play in the water and catch some crayfish. How about I grill fish and crayfish for you?"
Ling Chunhua stared at her blankly for a long time before nodding gently, "Okay, Auntie."
How could Yun Mo not see Ling Chunhua's reluctance and absent-mindedness?
She touched the other person's fair and tender face, "Do you like selling sugar water so much? It's so hot outside, it's so hard to go out every day. It's cool and relaxing to play at home, isn't it good?"
Hearing her words, Ling Chunhua's mouth pursed and she seemed like she was about to cry the next moment.
"Aunt, I sell sugar water to save money for my tuition, but now I can't even earn enough for my father to buy a cart."
Although the profit from selling ice jelly was decent every day, since half of the profit was given to Xie Jinghuai, Ling Chunhua did not get much, less than 40 yuan in total.
Although the cart was second-hand, Ling Jiang still spent 50 yuan on it. Adding some modification costs, the total cost was about 60 yuan.
Yun Mo patted her head comfortingly, "You've only been selling for a week and you've already earned over 30 yuan, which is equivalent to an adult's monthly salary. That's amazing."
After coaxing her for a long time, seeing that Ling Chunhua was still unhappy, Yun Mo had to use her "trump card".
"Okay, go put on your shoes, and I'll take you to find a place that sells sugar water?"
"Really? Auntie."
Ling Chunhua's eyes suddenly opened wide, full of disbelief and surprise.
Yun Mo amusedly flicked the little Qiuqiu on top of her head and said, "Silly girl, go put on your shoes."
Yun Mo took Ling Chunhua to the snack street.
After walking around the snack street, Yun Mo picked a snack bar with a good location but poor business.
Yun Mo didn't want to waste time and went straight to the boss to explain her purpose.
Ice jelly is a seasonal snack and will not sell well after summer, so Yunmo does not plan to rent a store alone, but chooses to operate a store together with a snack bar.
I only rent a space in the snack bar for a short period of time to sell handmade ice jelly and bubble milk tea.
The owner of the snack bar also has some business acumen. He did not choose to charge Yunmo rent, but instead offered to take 50% of the profits from the sales of handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea.
Although the Chunhua Sweet Soup cart is gone, there are still a large number of loyal customers who miss it. The boss has a hunch that once Chunhua Sweet Soup reopens in his store, it will definitely be popular all over the street.
After some negotiations between the two parties, the profit sharing was finally agreed upon at 30:70.
The snack bar owner took three and Yun Mo took seven.
After finding a place, the next step is to apply for a business license.
With Zeng Xingguo's connections, it was not difficult to get the certificates. The next day, Yun Mo got the food business license and business license.
Everything was ready, and after choosing an auspicious day, Chunhua Dessert Shop was officially opened.
With prior publicity and the reputation of Chunhua Sweet Soup, business was booming on the first day of opening.
200 servings of handmade ice jelly and 200 servings of bubble milk tea were sold out in half a day.
As a result, the snack bars were also crowded with people and business was booming.
Because there are tables and chairs in the snack bar, some customers buy handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea and sit directly in the store to eat, and also order some snacks in the store.
In just three days, Chunhua Dessert became the most popular dessert shop on Snack Street after Bingzhilian.
Kang Xiaorou was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she no longer had time to cause trouble for Chunhua Tangshui because she herself was in big trouble.
Since we always sell overnight food, it becomes a sales problem.
Bing Zhilian sold rancid syrup, which caused food poisoning to customers. It was jointly investigated and punished by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the police station. Not only was its business license and food business license revoked, it was also fined 500 yuan.
500 yuan is not a small amount of money these days, equivalent to two years' income for an average family.
Kang Xiaorou was desperate and tried every possible means to raise money for the fine. She even stole and sold the department's latest product to a competing company and was caught red-handed.
Because it was an attempted crime and did not cause any actual losses to the company, Ronghua did not pursue her criminal responsibility. She was simply fired, and no subsidiary of Ronghua would ever hire her again.
For Kang Xiaorou, what she lost was not only her job, but also her bright future.
No formal organization would dare to hire an employee with bad conduct and a history of stealing company secrets.
After a few days of operation, the popularity of Chunhua Dessert Shop gradually decreased and sales gradually stabilized.
The daily sales volume of handmade ice jelly is around 350 servings, while the sales volume of pearl milk tea is lower, between 200-250 servings.
Ling Chunhua definitely can’t make so many handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea by herself.
Yun Mo hired two summer workers, and together with Ling Chunhua, the three of them took shifts working in the dessert shop.
As for the necessary ingredients, Yun Mo hired Aunt Cuihua's daughter-in-law Ye Qin to make them, paying her one yuan for three hours every morning.
Of course, the salary was a bit high, Yun Mo only paid it because Ye Qin had just given birth to a child.
Being a mother for the first time is not easy.
Yun Mo also taught Ye Qin the production process of handmade ice jelly and pearl milk tea without reservation. After getting Yun Mo's permission, Ye Qin would go to the night market to set up a stall to sell ice jelly when he had nothing to do at night, earning some money to supplement the family income.
Second update~ The holiday is almost over, and the double monthly tickets are also about to end. You all understand, right?
