Sun Yanling and Guo Dali have both come, but Luo Zhonghui is nowhere to be seen. We don't know if he'll come today or not; it's almost 3 o'clock now.
He Wenlin called Luo Zhonghui, but no one answered.
He Wenlin could only hang up the phone and leave it at that for the time being.
She has to cook, or she'll be too late.
This afternoon's dishes are dry-pot cauliflower, spicy chicken, and stir-fried cabbage with lard.
Spicy chicken is simple and easy to make. He Wenlin bought two boxes of chicken wings, and her father, along with Lin Fei and Tang Kai, had already chopped them up.
The chopped chicken wings were washed several times to remove the blood, and then marinated with seasonings, salt, scallions, ginger, etc. for twenty minutes.
The marinated meat is deep-fried in a pot. The chicken pieces for spicy chicken should not be chopped too large, and they must be fried until golden brown to taste good.
Lin Fei and He's father are no longer kitchen novices, so the deep-frying was left to them, and He Wenlin started preparing the other side dishes.
Tang Kai followed He Wenlin to prepare the side dishes.
"Sister, I have something to discuss with you." Tang Kai hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"Okay, go ahead."
What do you think about me selling egg rolls?
Tang Kai has been here for a week now, and being a quick-witted person, he knows how well He Wenlin's egg rolls sell. Today, after hearing He Wenlin introduce them to Sun Yanling and Guo Dali, he became interested.
Selling this requires no technical skill and is less troublesome than making glutinous rice balls.
“You really do come up with all sorts of ideas,” He Wenlin said. “Brother, I’m not trying to be mean, but we have to see things through to the end. Once we’ve decided on something, we have to work towards our goal. We can’t just jump around. Also, where do you plan to sell your stock? Have you thought about it? There are people selling at the market here, so if you go there to sell, your business probably won’t be very good. If you go to a far place, your tricycle will be smoking loudly. I suggest you don’t rush. Learn the skills first, get familiar with the area, and then consider it one step at a time.”
Tang Kai said with a bitter face, "Sis, I really don't like doing this. Didn't you tell me last time to consider selling glutinous rice balls near the West Station? I'll go there and sell egg rolls."
"Are you really decided? Aren't you going to reconsider?"
"It's really decided, sis! I'm not changing my mind this time! I definitely won't!" Tang Kai said firmly.
"Then go and sell them."
Since he was so determined, He Wenlin didn't want to discourage him; good business was certainly good.
Business being bad can be seen as a form of training, especially since we're all still young.
He Wenlin: "Selling this requires a tricycle. Take some time to prepare one. I will send you thirty boxes for the first batch. After that, if you want to order, you will have to pay in advance like everyone else. The price is 6.5 yuan per box. This cannot be changed."
"Thank you, sis! You're like my own sister, hehe! I'm going to go get the money from my dad right now."
After saying that, Tang Kai ran to the food factory.
Tang Kai was somewhat irresponsible; he would spend all the money he had and often invited friends out for meals and drinks, always paying the bill. Therefore, Tang Jianguo kept a tight grip on his money.
"Dad, I'm doing something important. Just give me six hundred yuan. I'm going to buy a tricycle. Sister Linlin said she'd give me thirty boxes of goods."
"Selling rice balls is fine, why sell egg rolls?"
“Selling egg rolls is more convenient. I can buy a tricycle today and start selling them tomorrow. Dad will give me six hundred.”
"Linlin Fast Food Restaurant has two tricycles, why don't you just borrow one?"
“They need it for their own use, they need to deliver meals at noon and in the afternoon, so there’s definitely no car available to borrow.”
"What was the cost price Linlin gave you?"
"The cost price is six yuan and fifty cents per box."
Hearing that it was 6.5 yuan a box, Tang Jianguo felt uncomfortable. He felt that since they were all relatives, He Wenlin should have given him a lower price. Don't think he didn't know the price of flour and sugar in the factory.
Tang Kai, unaware of Tang Jianguo's thoughts, kept pestering him, "Dad, give me the money."
“We don’t have any money. We only brought two hundred yuan with us when we came out. Since Linlin supports you, you can borrow it from your sister Linlin and tell her that you will pay her back when you have money from selling egg rolls.”
Tang Kai had no choice but to return to the fast food restaurant and ask He Wenlin for money.
He Wenlin was surprised that her aunt didn't even have this much money.
Whether it's true or false, she doesn't know right now, but she wants to make her point clear.
He Wenlin said seriously, "I can lend you the money, but we need to be clear about business. I don't want any unpleasantness between us siblings in the future. I said I would give you thirty boxes of goods, and I mean it. It's not a joke. But when you come to buy goods in the future, you have to pay the full amount due. I can't do credit. I hope you understand this."
He Wenlin wouldn't start this kind of credit business.
With so many relatives, are we supposed to run up debts to everyone?
She doesn't need to do business anymore.
"Sis, I understand. Don't worry, you can deduct the money for the car from my dad's salary."
“You said it yourself. If you don’t pay me back, I really will deduct my aunt’s salary. We’re family, so it’s better to settle all financial matters clearly to avoid hurting our relationship later,” He Wenlin said. “Tonight, I’ll have my dad go with you to buy a tricycle. Since you’ve decided to sell this, do it well. Be careful when you set up your stall. There are a lot of pickpockets and snatch-and-grab thieves out there. Shanshan and I were robbed at night before, and Shanshan even fell off the tricycle once. You’re all alone and so young, so you need to be even more careful. There are also a lot of scammers out there, and it’s easy to get counterfeit money…”
He Wenlin then told him some classic tricks used by swindlers to cheat people out of money, which Tang Kai listened to with great interest.
Even Lin Fei and He's father found it amusing, let alone him.
