The next morning, after the rush hour, at Zhang Xiaoqing's repeated urging, Mr. He went to the police station with them.
Zhang Xiaoqing paid a fine of 500 yuan at the police station before the police released Song Bo.
After being locked up all night, Song Bo lost all his temper.
Mr. He ignored him and went straight to the driving school to practice driving.
The factory has now moved to Baijia Village, making travel inconvenient. Moreover, the egg roll business is getting better and better, so having a car is still very convenient.
He needs to get his driver's license as soon as possible.
He Wenlin and Lin Fei stayed at the fast food restaurant to work.
Today's dishes include stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried pork belly with green beans, and cucumber salad.
"Sis, I need to talk to you about something." Tang Kai came over, holding an umbrella.
The weather wasn't cooperating today; it started to drizzle, which isn't good news for those who set up stalls.
Tang Kai therefore did not set up his stall.
"What is it?" He Wenlin asked, continuing her work without looking up.
"I want to buy a tricycle, could you lend me some money?" Tang Kai said. "I want to set up a stall, but riding a tricycle is too inconvenient. It's okay for short distances, but for long distances, my legs will break from pedaling."
"When you buy the 'Slow Travel' ticket, are you going out to set up a stall, or is your aunt going out to set up a stall?"
"It's definitely me. Setting up a stall only brings in about 80 or 90 yuan a day. I can manage it by myself; there's no need for two people."
Tang Kai's business is not as good as others; he only gets about 30 or 40 boxes of goods here a day.
"But you're still too young to drive slowly on the road."
The "Slow Travel" is a gasoline-powered tricycle with a cargo compartment, and it requires a license plate to operate on the road.
He Wenlin continued, "This place is different from our hometown county. They're cracking down really hard here. If you think pedaling a tricycle to set up a stall is too tiring, then find a place to sell glutinous rice balls. That way you won't have to run around everywhere. Lin Fei's cousin, He Ling, makes about 300 yuan a day selling glutinous rice balls. It's stable, and she's not as tired as you are."
After selling egg rolls for so many days, Tang Kai has indeed saved some money, but he is also exhausted. He is now dark and thin, and has lost at least 15 pounds since he first came to Shaocheng!
The main problem is that he's alone, unlike other people who work with someone and can take turns pedaling a tricycle.
"It's not that I'm stingy or don't want to lend you money, but you do the math yourself. You earn so little money selling egg rolls a day, but buying a 'slow travel' ticket costs several thousand. When will you ever earn back the money for the slow travel ticket?"
Selling glutinous rice balls at a street stall is more profitable than selling them in a shop because you don't have to pay shop rent. You can sell breakfast for a while in the morning and egg rolls in the afternoon and evening. If you find the right location, your business will be good.
Those who learned how to make glutinous rice balls from me before are now doing quite well in business, earning several thousand a month.
Think it over carefully. Personally, I think you should find a place to sell rice balls. It's more stable, you can save enough money quickly, buy a house here, and settle down. I won't lie to you.
Tang Kai remained silent, probably considering his options as well.
He Wenlin has said everything she needed to say. He's a grown man now, and she can't possibly force him to listen to her. The choice is up to him.
...
Time flies, and it's already September 29th.
Today is the opening day of Xu Jing, Zhou Liping, and Zhang Xiaojuan's shop.
When He Wenlin's second store opened, Xu Jing and Zhou Liping sent flower baskets. Now that their store is opening, He Wenlin bought a large flower basket and took a taxi to deliver it.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the foreign language school, He Wenlin followed the address given by Xu Jing and went there.
After walking a few steps, we arrived at the Sisters' Breakfast Shop.
Zhang Xiaojuan is wrapping glutinous rice balls, Xu Jing is greeting customers, and Zhou Liping is selling egg rolls at the door.
There were also a few people in the store who had assaulted them; they were probably one of their parents or elders.
"Linlin." Upon seeing He Wenlin, Xu Jing excitedly waved to her.
"Sister Jing, Sister Liping, Sister Xiaojuan, congratulations! May you be prosperous and have wealth flowing in."
"Haha, thank you, please come in and sit down." Zhou Liping arranged for He Wenlin to sit down in a corner.
It's 8:30 now, and there are still other people dining in the restaurant; the only seats available are in the corner.
He Wenlin looked around the shop. The decoration was indeed quite simple and the area was small. There was a row of tables and chairs against the wall, and only four or five people could dine in at a time. There were no seats for more than that.
"Linlin, is it okay if we eat steamed dumplings?" Zhou Liping asked.
"I ate breakfast before I came."
“One serving of dumplings isn’t much. Try our cooking, and you, as the master chef, can give us some feedback.” After saying that, Zhou Liping still gave He Wenlin a steamer of dumplings and a packet of orange juice.
Since she had said that, He Wenlin didn't stand on ceremony, took apart the disposable chopsticks, and started eating.
After eating two, He Wenlin nodded repeatedly: "The taste is alright, it's pretty good. Your location is decent, so business should be good in the future."
With a monthly rent of 800 and utilities, the expenses should be around 1200.
In other words, they can basically break even by selling around 80 yuan a day.
The store's location is decent; it's only two or three hundred meters from the school, and if you turn right, there are many clothing stores and boutiques along the street, so students will definitely have to pass by this store if they want to go shopping.
There are many migrant workers in this village, and the population is dense. At the end of this road, there is a large vegetable market.
There are also chemical plants and garment factories nearby. People in this area also have to pass through here to buy groceries. If managed well, it should be quite profitable.
However, since the three of them are partners, it's hard to say how much money each person will get.
He Wenlin didn't stay there for long before going back.
