After saying that, He Wenlin took out some fried dough twists for them to try: "Try them, this is one of the new products I will be adding soon. It's ten yuan a box, and the net weight of a box is about three jin and two liang. It has a shelf life of two months."
Zhou Liping: "It tastes pretty good, crispy and sweet, with a hint of saltiness in the sweetness."
"How about we try ten boxes first?" Xu Jing looked at Zhou Liping, her eyes suggesting a discussion.
He Wenlin laughed and said, "Not so fast. We're out of stock right now. My mom just rented the place next door and is still preparing for the launch. It'll probably be at least a week before the new product officially hits the market. Besides the fried dough twists, we'll also have peach shortbread. Today is just for you to try."
Following He Wenlin's instructions, He's mother went to talk to the landlord next door. After thinking about it carefully, the landlord also felt that it made sense, since he wouldn't earn as much if he rented it to someone else.
Finally, I rented the house next door for 350 yuan per month, with a temporary lease term of six months. I paid the rent for six months in one lump sum, plus a 500 yuan deposit.
The rent was fifty yuan more than He Wenlin had expected, but the landlord agreed to rent the vacant land around the house to He's mother as well.
Although the open space was somewhat overgrown with weeds, it was relatively flat and large. He Wenlin then asked her aunt, Tang Jianguo, to build a shed here and have someone repair the ground and lay precast slabs on it. This place was to be used as a warehouse, and her aunt and Tang Kai would also live in the warehouse to guard the goods, so the ground definitely couldn't be a muddy surface.
He Wenlin originally wanted to lay a layer of cement, but that would be more expensive and would require waiting for the cement floor to dry, so she simply laid precast slabs instead, which saved both money and time.
The three rented rooms were emptied of all belongings, and the walls were covered with red, white, and blue waterproof tape to prevent damage to the other party's walls.
The rooms are all quite large. The right wing is the production and processing room for fried dough twists, the middle room is the production room for peach shortbread, and He Wenlin is going to install two rotary ovens to bake peach shortbread in the leftmost room.
"Linlin, your business is getting better and better, it's getting bigger and bigger," Xu Jing said with a smile. "You're amazing."
He Wenlin: "You guys are doing very well now. You've already bought a house and surpassed many people. But don't waste your money. If you trust me, buy a house as soon as possible, even if it's an old, small house, even if it's on mortgage."
Zhou Liping: "Buying a house must cost a lot of money."
“It depends on what kind of apartment you want to buy,” He Wenlin said. “The old apartment building I looked at last time was priced at 75,000, but with some bargaining, I should be able to get it for 65,000. However, it was on the sixth floor and only 50 square meters. To be honest, I don’t have the money right now, otherwise I would have bought it.”
At that time, He Wenlin had no money and had not been able to get a loan. She was in a hurry to settle down, so she finally chose this house in Baijia Village.
Otherwise, He Wenlin would have negotiated the price and bought the first apartment she saw. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. Although it was an old apartment, everything was complete and it would be easy to rent out in the future.
"Keep up the good work, you should be able to buy a house next year. I'll come to your housewarming party then."
Zhou Liping laughed and said, "We're penniless right now, how can we afford to buy a house? If you buy a villa, we'll be the ones hosting your banquet."
"Okay, remember to give me a big red envelope. If it's not two hundred, I'll get angry."
...
After making the jokes, Xu Jing and Zhou Liping drove away with the goods.
As soon as they left, Tang Jianguo and his son Tang Kai returned.
"You're back. What did the police station say?" He Wenlin asked.
They were called in by the police station today regarding the incident with Tang Kai.
When the police station called to report the incident, the father and son were quite frightened. Tang Kai himself was also feeling guilty, as he was underage and had even scratched someone. Although the two police officers had said last time that Tang Kai wouldn't be punished this time, they were still apprehensive.
"The person who sold the car to Xiao Kai was in cahoots with the guy whose car was scratched. The police said they lost a lot of money gambling together. The car seller was Xiao Kai's neighbor and knew that Xiao Kai was running his own business and that his business was doing quite well. Xiao Kai asked him how much a Slow Tour car cost and said that he wanted to buy one too. That's when he came up with this idea. But the man didn't expect that we would see through this scam. He thought the scam was flawless."
As Tang Jianguo finished speaking, he glared at Tang Kai again: "You pig-headed idiot, you thought you were invincible, and you didn't even want to set up a stall with me. Now look at you! You've been fooled, haven't you? If it weren't for Linlin, you're a brilliant detective, comparable to Bao Zheng, we would have had to accept our defeat!"
"Sis, you're amazing! When I told the police that you were the one who uncovered the scam, they were all stunned. Sis, if you weren't a boss, you could be a detective!"
"Alright, stop flattering me!" He Wenlin criticized seriously. "You're young and easily become a target. When you're out and about, you need to be low-key, not flaunt your wealth, and be safety conscious. You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be wary of others."
Tang Jianguo slapped Tang Kai on the back of the head: "Did you hear that?"
Tang Kai knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue back, so he just chuckled and replied, "I know, I know."
"Has the car been found? Or did those people refund the money?" He Wenlin asked.
“They don’t have the money to pay for it, so I can only take the bike back. But this kid is underage and still rode a bike. I was fined 500 yuan today. He received half an hour of ideological education at the police station. The police station has already arranged for someone to help us get the bike back, but I can’t ride it. She’s underage, so it’s useless to her. Linlin, how about I sell it to you for 3,000 yuan? Do you want it?”
“Okay, then give it to me. I bought it to deliver food to fast food restaurants. I’ll have my mom give you the money in a bit,” He Wenlin said. “Auntie, please keep an eye on things next door for me so we can finish the project as soon as possible and start production.”
Don't worry.
At this moment, Yang Gangyong walked over and said, "Mr. He, I have to deliver goods now. Do you want to go to the second store?"
"go."
He Wenlin immediately got up and went to store number two.
Today, Peng Liang has already started having three female students promote the vouchers, and He Wenlin needs to go to the store to check on the sales.
In addition, my second brother practiced diligently a few days ago and finally learned how to make preserved egg and lean pork congee and mushroom and chicken congee. Today, we have started taking orders for these two products.
Peng Liang had just hung up the phone when he arrived at the second store.
Upon seeing He Wenlin, Peng Liang smiled and said, "We received 163 orders at noon today, fewer than yesterday, but Zhou Yuxin said that we've already sold 110 sets with the vouchers."
A set of vouchers for liberal arts colleges costs fifty dollars. Because students are relatively poor, a set costs fifty dollars. Of course, the vouchers are also less valuable.
One hundred and ten sets, that's five thousand five hundred yuan, not bad, not bad.
"How's it going with Hongrui?" He Wenlin asked. "It's been so many days, and they still haven't used up all their Huangji vouchers?"
