Chapter 271 I Want to Rent a Stall
On the way back, Huang Ling began to persuade Xiaoting:
"Xiaoting, is there such a situation in your school?"
"Mom, yes, but I definitely won't do that, don't worry." Xiaoting was extremely steady.
"Mom believes in you, but I still want to tell you again that what's important isn't whether you have friends or not, but protecting yourself. Compared to grades and other things, your health and safety are what Mom values most."
"Mom, I know you said some mistakes can't be tried." Xiaoting answered again.
Huang Ling has already done this kind of education, so she is not too worried.
"I thought Dongzhe didn't do well in the exam! You want Dongzhe to give mom a surprise, right?"
Xiao Ting pursed her lips and thought for a moment before answering:
"He wanted to distance himself from me, so I stopped paying attention to him. But the teacher did praise his progress yesterday. When you asked me, I thought that even if I didn't tell him, he would have told you with his big mouth."
"Oh!" Huang Ling nodded. "So that's how it is. Mommy is on your side."
Xiaoting looked up at her with a slightly surprised expression.
"You are my daughter! I will stand by you unconditionally." Huang Ling shook her hand and said with a smile.
"And me! I'll stand by you unconditionally!" Zhou Huailan also replied and shook her other hand.
"Yeah!" Xiaoting nodded happily.
The three of them walked home arm in arm.
When I arrived at the military family compound, I saw a familiar figure, it was Zhu Xiu Yu.
"Sister." Zhu Xiu Yu stood up from the steps.
"Aunt Zhu." Xiaoting greeted her obediently.
"Sister Zhu, we didn't know you were coming, so we just went out. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Huang Ling asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't wait long. I asked Pengfei to call home, but no one answered. I thought he must have gone out to eat, so I came here after eating." Zhu Xiu Yu waved her hand.
Huang Ling asked Huailan and Xiaoting to go home first, and then asked after they entered the military family compound:
"What's up?"
"I..." Zhu Xiuyu hesitated to speak.
"Just tell me straight, my brain power is almost exhausted every day. Sister Zhu, please don't make me guess anymore. Does Hongbin need any help at school?" Huang Ling said bluntly.
"Oh, it's not Hongbin. He's doing well in school. I was worried. I went to see him a couple of days ago. He didn't stay at home. He took the morning bus and came back in the evening. Am I useless? I wonder if his classmates laughed at him later..."
"I understand. I miss Tunan too. If I were in Shanghai, I would have gone there long ago. There's nothing funny about a mother coming to see her son. No way."
Huang Ling knew that she had no one to talk about these things with, but she could tell them to herself.
So I tried to persuade her while waiting for her to tell me the real purpose of her visit today.
"I heard that Yuesheng Department Store has food stalls for rent... I want to participate." Zhu Xiu Yu said the last four words firmly.
Before Yuesheng Department Store opened, Huang Ling reserved a space to set up a few cooked food stalls. The reason why she did not open the stalls at the same time as the department store was because Huang Ling wanted to see the flow of people before making a decision.
Now the situation is very good judging from the flow of people and revenue, so I plan to start a few food stalls.
She will ask a pastry chef to make Western-style cakes and bread at one of the stalls, and there are a few stalls left that are being rented out. Many discerning people have seen Yuesheng's traffic and want to participate.
"Well……"
"I know that department stores cannot have the smell of oil smoke, so I thought of selling braised food, pickles, mixed shredded chicken, fried fish, and braised pork with preserved vegetables," Zhu Xiu Yu said seriously.
Huang Ling nodded. She didn't expect Zhu Xiuyu to have such a comprehensive idea.
Most of the people who come to consult want to make steamed or boiled dishes, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, noodle soup, etc., which all require heating, but Huang Ling doesn't want these.
"I think it is indeed suitable to do these things," Huang Ling affirmed.
"Then I'll make some tomorrow for you to try," Zhu Xiu Yu said happily.
"There's no rush. Do you know the requirements for participation?" Huang Ling asked.
"I know. I asked about it today. Manager Li is very nice. He was afraid I didn't understand, so he explained it to me in detail."
Stalls are leased on an annual basis and are subject to unified management and assessment by the mall. The stallholders are responsible for their own profits and losses.
"You know my requirements might be different from others."
"I can do it. Your request will definitely only make business better." Zhu Xiu Yu was not flattering, she was speaking the truth.
"In addition to the monthly rent, we also have to pay a security deposit, which is quite a lot..."
"I know, I will find a way. I'm just afraid that it won't be my turn, so I came to you at night." Zhu Xiu Yu also said frankly.
"I just went there today, but it hasn't been rented out yet. Sister Zhu, the most important thing is that you have to consider the risks. This is different from doing business by pushing a cart. It is possible to lose money. If you lose money and want to terminate the contract early, part of the deposit will be deducted. You are aware of these losses!" Huang Ling reminded.
"Sister, I know that there are gains and losses in business. There are times when I lose money selling breakfast. I have thought it through. If I really lose money, it only proves that the food I cook is not delicious, and I can't blame others." Zhu Xiu Yu was very firm about this.
"If that's the case, you can make some samples and bring them over tomorrow. I'll call Manager Li early tomorrow morning when he gets to work and have him organize an evaluation. If they pass, you can pay a deposit and reserve a booth."
"Are you there?" Zhu Xiuyu asked timidly.
"The final decision is made by Manager Li. Don't worry, he will be fair." Huang Ling knew what she was worried about and answered with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Zhu Xiu Yu thanked him.
Originally, Huang Ling suggested that she rent a fixed stall or storefront in the vegetable market, but after some investigation, Zhu Xiu Yu found that the food she could make was basically available in the vegetable market, and if you try to do business that someone else is already doing, you are afraid that you will not be able to continue.
But this problem does not exist in Huang Ling's department store.
So, when she saw the news about Yuesheng's investment promotion, she immediately made up her mind.
She is different from others. Many people are very interested, but are still waiting and watching. They don’t know how long Yuesheng can last and whether it will continue to be such a good business. However, Zhu Xiu Yu is not worried about this at all.
She knew that as long as Huang Ling did it, she would be sure to win.
"I say the same thing. If you are short of money, I can invest. I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%." Huang Ling joked.
"I know. I'm just afraid that someone will fall into the sauerkraut jar and can't get up, and then blame you for pushing him. Don't worry, I can get the deposit and rent." Zhu Xiu Yu smiled.
"Well, bye."
"goodbye."
When Zhu Xiu Yu returned home, she was so happy that she even started humming a little tune.
Zhuang Chaoying was preparing for class and asked without even looking up: "What are you so happy about?"
"Oh, nothing. Someone gave me a jar of pickled cabbage." Zhu Xiu Yu looked at him and replied.
"Where is it?" Zhuang Chaoying raised his head and asked.
Zhu Xiuyu burst out laughing.
