Chapter 177 Jealousy



Sun Yan, feeling extremely petulant, immediately retorted angrily, "Big sister, I asked you to come and help, not to spread rumors! If you're willing to help, then help; if not, then go back! I know my Zhonghui better than you do! Besides, Xiao He is still just a child, so watch your mouth!"

"I was only doing this for your own good! You're really biting the hand that feeds you, not appreciating my good intentions!"

"You know exactly what you're thinking!"

Sun Yanjiao knew that this older woman was not as well-off as her and was always competing with her.

Actually, she hadn't planned to ask her for help at first. She offered it herself, and out of politeness and because she had experience working in a supermarket, Sun Yanjiao agreed.

Unexpectedly, his mouth got worse and worse! And his words became increasingly offensive!

It's one thing to talk about yourself, but to spread such rumors is simply intolerable!

Sun Yanjiao lost her temper, and Sun Yanling shut up, thinking to herself, "Let's see how many kilograms of all this stuff you can sell!"

She came to help, but her real intention was to watch the show; she was the one who was predicting the worst!

She couldn't stand that Sun Yanjiao was doing better than her, and she was also unhappy that Sun Yanjiao's married life was better than hers!

It's hot now, so as soon as He Wenlin arrived, she picked up a megaphone and shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't miss out! Look here, look here! Dumplings and steamed buns on special offer, three packs for eight yuan fifty! Three packs for eight yuan fifty!"

Eight yuan and fifty cents isn't enough to go to Tiananmen Square in Beijing or Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, but it's enough to feed the whole family...

The freezer was already surrounded by advertising boards, and He Wenlin's shouts attracted quite a few people to gather around.

Luo Zhonghui and Sun Yanling quickly handed out samples to everyone: "You can try them first, and if you like them, we'll buy them."

He Wenlin: "The loose ones here are 3.5 yuan per jin, and 6.5 yuan for two jin. The ones in boxes, even if they get soft, won't stick together."

One box contains three pieces, so three boxes cost 8.5 yuan. You can choose to get the same type of box or buy them together.

Buy three boxes and get a free steaming rack. Buy two jin (1 kg) or more in bulk and get a free steaming rack as well. Gifts are limited, while supplies last. Friends and family, hurry up and buy, or the gifts will be gone.

These three boxes are enough to feed a family of six. A single serving of cooked food costs 1.5 yuan, but these three boxes are definitely equivalent to eight servings outside. Three boxes for only 8.5 yuan! Family, three boxes for only 8.5 yuan!

You can't buy it for 8.5 yuan in any supermarket!

Their cheapest bag costs 3.5 yuan, and the taste isn't as good as ours. They don't come in boxes, so they all stick together when you take them home.

Family members, 8.5 yuan is a great deal, you won't regret it.

Eight dollars and fifty cents won't get you to Moscow, nor will it get you to Washington..."

He Wenlin's voice was hoarse from shouting all morning, but the results were visible.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and there were far fewer people around. He Wenlin quickly drank some water to moisten her throat.

Sun Yanling dared not utter a sound. She hadn't expected the business to be so good, especially since frozen dumplings didn't sell very well at the supermarket where she worked.

The steamer rack isn't worth much, but these people seem to be desperate for money, buying and buying just for a free gift.

Sun Yanjiao works at a supermarket and knows very well that people are either desperate for money or they feel they're getting a good deal because the items are cheap and come with free gifts. Plus, everyone else is buying them, so they follow suit.

Luo Zhonghui's mother, Zhang Chunmei, couldn't stop smiling, and her eyes were full of kindness as she looked at He Wenlin.

She laughed and said, "I haven't slept for days because I've brought in so much stock. You're amazing, little girl."

He Wenlin smiled and said, "It's also because everyone cooperated well. We'll sell all day tomorrow, and there will be another peak period this afternoon. If we have business like this morning, even if we don't sell out, there probably won't be much left."

Sun Yanling said sarcastically, "Tomorrow is a holiday, who's going to eat this stuff on a holiday?"

Upon hearing this, both Luo Zhonghui and his mother's expressions changed.

What kind of people hasn't He Wenlin seen in her past life?

I've seen plenty of people like Sun Yanling.

She could tell at a glance that this person was jealous of Luo Zhonghui's business.

He Wenlin laughed and said, "I don't agree with what you said. Even on holidays, we still need to eat breakfast or a late-night snack. This stuff isn't meant to be a main meal."

Besides, I can buy them and freeze them. If I don't eat them tomorrow, I can eat them the day after tomorrow, or the day after that. If I don't sell them all tomorrow, I can come back and sell them again on National Day. I'm sure I'll sell them all. If there are too many left, I'll take them back to my breakfast shop to sell. In any case, Mr. Luo won't lose money."

At this point, He Wenlin looked down at the freezer and roughly estimated, "We should have sold about two hundred boxes this morning, but I don't think we have many wontons left."

Sun Yanling was speechless, choked by the words.

She used to laugh at the couple for being foolish, but it turns out they didn't lose money even though they couldn't sell everything.

He Wenlin: "It's almost time. The peak period is over. Even if there are people now, there will only be a few. I'll come back at three o'clock this afternoon."

"Don't go back, come to my house for dinner today," Luo Zhonghui said. "It's too far, I'm too lazy to go."

Zhang Chunmei: "Yes, come to my house for dinner. My house is nearby."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Grandma and Mr. Luo. However, I have to rush back to prepare the afternoon's dishes. I will definitely visit you next time."

He Wenlin runs a fast food restaurant and is also the head chef, which Luo Zhonghui knew, so he didn't try to persuade her to stay.

With He Wenlin gone, Sun Yanjiao, who was minding the shop in the market, finally had some free time. She couldn't concentrate on her business inside all morning, as she was preoccupied with promotional activities outside.

When they came out, they found that much of the freezer was gone, and they were overjoyed.

"Where is Xiao He?"

"I'm going back."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yanjiao snapped at Luo Zhonghui, "Why didn't you invite them to stay for dinner?"

"They need to rush back to prepare lunch for the afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yanjiao fell silent.

He Wenlin is the pillar of the family, and she knows that too.

He Wenlin took a motorcycle taxi back to the fast food restaurant.

It's not even noon yet, and there are no customers in the store.

As soon as they saw He Wenlin, everyone crowded around and asked, "Linlin, how's it going? Are you sold out yet?"

"With so much stock, how could it possibly be sold out?" He Wenlin laughed. "But we sold quite a lot. We sold at least two hundred boxes, but the loose stock did a little less well."

Upon hearing this number, Mr. He began to calculate: "There's still some time left this afternoon. If we sell 400 boxes a day, we can sell 800 in two days. There shouldn't be much left over."

He Wenlin had already made arrangements with the sellers; if they couldn't sell everything, she would help them sell it, so He's parents were very worried.

"There probably won't be many boxed ones left, and the loose ones probably won't sell out."

It's okay if we can't sell all the bulk goods; we can do another round during the National Day holiday.
