I was busy until 6:40 before I finally stopped.
It was already seven o'clock after dinner.
Now that they don't have to go out to set up stalls to sell late-night snacks, He Qian suggested that they go to the night market.
"I'm not going. You guys have fun." He Wenlin really didn't want to move; she was too tired. She planned to rest for a while. She estimated that around 10 p.m., a group of people would come to the shop to order fried noodles after get off work. If she didn't go, she could still make a profit from that group of customers.
He Wenlin said to Lin Fei, "You can go with them, but come back early tonight, because you have to get up early tomorrow."
Teenagers are still children. If they have money, who wouldn't want to go shopping and spend it?
"You guys go have fun first, we'll settle your wages when you get back tonight."
"Don't rush for the payment, we can settle it tomorrow, or monthly, either is fine. Um, I'm going to the toilet now, Qianqian, wait for me." After saying that, He Shan grabbed some toilet paper from the room and rushed to the toilet.
"I'm going to the toilet too." Lin Fei also got up and ran towards the toilet.
"I'm going back now. Come find me at my house when you're done."
They had finished get off work and dinner, so He Qian and Liang Xiaoying cleared the table and the family went back to their dormitory.
He Wenlin and her mother washed the dishes together.
"Linlin, prepare some fried noodles tonight. Your dad and I are going out to sell them," said Aunt He while washing the dishes.
"Mom, since you don't have to work overtime, don't go sell late-night snacks. You and Auntie can go to the night market together. Buy whatever you like, and I'll reimburse you."
Hearing this, Aunt He smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared.
“It’s too far, I don’t want to go. I’ll stay here and sell late-night snacks with your dad. Even if we only sell twenty boxes, we can earn ten yuan, which is better than making clothes in the factory.”
"Mom, you can never earn enough money."
“You’re still young and capable, so don’t be lazy. People have to endure hardship before they can enjoy the rewards. If you know you can earn ten yuan and still don’t do it, are you stupid? It’s settled then. Get everything ready tonight.” With no one else around, Aunt He whispered, “How much was the revenue today?”
"It hasn't been calculated yet."
Aunt He lowered her voice and advised, "When you're calculating the accounts, don't ask them to help you. They know your turnover and will think you've made hundreds or thousands."
He Wenlin knew what her mother meant, and she also knew that there must be people outside saying sarcastic things.
Judging from He Qian's probing questions today, her uncle's family must have been discussing it quite a bit behind her back.
“Mom, even if I don’t ask them to count the money and do the accounting, they can still estimate it roughly. They handle how many orders are packed each day, how many receipts are written, and how many orders are taken out to set up the stall. It’s impossible for them not to be able to figure it out.”
Since they can calculate it anyway, it's better to just let them help calculate it, otherwise they might think they have several thousand in daily revenue.
Meanwhile, on He Qian's side...
He Qian and her family returned to their single dormitory room.
He Xing's mind was filled with images of He Wenlin's shop being packed with people.
"Xixi, how much revenue did Linlin have today?" He Xing asked He Xi as soon as he got back to his side.
"I'm not sure how much it will be tonight, but I did the math at noon and it's already 780 in revenue. I estimate it should break 1000 today."
"So many!!" He Xingliang and Xiaoying were both shocked.
"With a turnover of one thousand, even if the profit is only ten percent, that's one hundred a day, and three thousand a month!" Liang Xiaoying never expected that a fast food restaurant could make so much money. Such an inconspicuous place could earn her two months' worth in a month.
"The profit is definitely more than 10%!" He Xing was also extremely excited.
He Qian said, "I don't know the exact profit, but I feel it's more than a hundred. Today I asked her how much she earns in a day, and she was unhappy."
"She's very shrewd. She definitely won't tell you how much she earns, and even if she did, she wouldn't tell the truth. Otherwise, where would she get the money to buy all that equipment? She's just a kid, why would anyone be willing to give her credit? The insulated food cart and freezer must have been bought with her own money!"
He Qian found it unbelievable; how could He Wenlin possibly earn so much money? She said, "Couldn't it be given to her by her parents?"
Liang Xiaoying shook her head and said, "Impossible. That's not tens or hundreds, it's thousands! Given our circumstances, it's impossible for any adult to give a child thousands of yuan."
He Qian: "She's amazing!"
"That's really impressive! But this boxed lunch business is definitely profitable, the profit margin must be high." He Xing had an idea in mind.
"Xixi, Auntie, shall we set off now?" He Shan arrived, interrupting He Xing's family's conversation.
“You guys go have fun, be careful, and come back early. Your aunt and I have some things to take care of.”
"Okay, let's go then, Qianqian and Xiaojian."
"Mom and Dad, we're leaving now."
"Be careful on your way back, and come back soon." Liang Xiaoying saw them to the door.
As soon as the children left, Liang Xiaoying asked He Xing in a low voice, "You asked me to stay, is it because you also want to make boxed lunches?"
Liang Xiaoying and He Xing have been married for seventeen years, and she knows him very well.
He Xing lowered his voice and said, "It's so profitable, I want to give it a try. I'll quit my job, but you shouldn't. I can work in this dormitory, and all the water and electricity will be free. We can have Qianqian and Xiaojian come back to help. I won't go to Linlin's place; they've already gained experience."
Liang Xiaoying frowned slightly and said, "In that case, Daming and Aizhen will definitely be angry, and our two families' relationship will be ruined..."
“This isn’t their exclusive business. If they can do it, so can we! Think about it, a daily turnover of a thousand! Linlin’s daily expenses are three hundred. If her daily profit isn’t three hundred, I’m not a He!”
Three hundred a day is nine thousand a month!
They earned as much as they did in a year in just two months!
Who wouldn't be envious?
"Then you do it."
"I'll quit my job tomorrow and start working at noon."
