Now that Tang Kai has also bought a cell phone, He Wenlin called him, and he answered the phone after it rang twice.
"Xiao Kai, how's business lately?" He Wenlin asked.
"Business is so-so," Tang Kai said, his voice tinged with excitement. "Sis, I heard you're opening a cake shop?"
"Well, it opens on the 16th. It's a small storefront at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative supermarket on the pedestrian street. How much do you make a day selling it? Can two people make money together?"
"The daily turnover is about 500 yuan, but the profit is not much when split between the two of us, but it's still better than working for someone else."
Now it was He Wenlin's turn to be shocked: "So many? Are you selling peach shortbread and egg rolls?"
"If I don't sell peach shortbread and egg rolls, what else can I sell? I'd like to sell myself, but nobody's going to buy me, hehe."
"But I saw that your last purchase was on the 25th of last month. All the goods you took there were sold out without any loss, and it only cost two thousand yuan. It's been twelve days since then. Two thousand divided by twelve equals one hundred and sixty-six. Where did the other three hundred and forty come from?"
At this point, He Wenlin became serious: "Tell me honestly, what exactly are you doing right now?"
No one lies without a reason!
He Wenlin's first reaction was that he hadn't done his job.
On the other end of the phone, Tang Kai was silent for a moment, then said, "We also sell cookies, cookies that we get from other places, and they sell quite well."
"No wonder," He Wenlin said. "Then why didn't you admit it when I asked you what else you were selling?"
"It's not that your goods didn't sell well, but that other people's goods sold well. We're just afraid you'll get angry."
"Why are you so angry? You think I'm being too petty."
Tang Kai chuckled awkwardly, "As long as you're not angry."
"What kind of cookies do you sell that can make you three or four hundred yuan a day? Let me see if my factory wants to make them."
Tang Kai panicked and hurriedly said, "It's the kind of biscuit we usually see, the kind with a layer of white sugar on top. It's crispy, sweet, and delicious. It's only four yuan a pound. Sister, I have a guest. I'll talk to you later when your cake shop opens."
After saying that, Tang Kai hurriedly hung up the phone.
He Wenlin didn't think much of it; when doing business, you can be very busy.
However, the fact that Tang Kai can make over 300 yuan a day selling cookies is truly astounding. At four yuan a pound, plus the fact that cookies are fragile and there are definitely some left over at discounted prices, he must be selling at least 100 pounds of cookies a day to earn that 300 yuan!
Are these cookies selling so well?
He Wenlin really wanted to sell herself.
...
After hanging up the phone, Tang Kai said to Wu Hai with lingering fear, "My sister just asked me what we sell that can make 500 yuan a day. She can see the quantity of goods we purchase."
Wu Hai said nonchalantly, "Then just say we also get other goods from other places and sell them."
"That's what I said..."
"That's settled then."
"But then she asked me what products I was selling." Tang Kai was starting to panic. "What if she finds out?"
Wu Hai said with a displeased look, "Why does your sister have so many questions?"
"Don't do this kind of thing again. If you get caught, you're finished!" Tang Kai felt a wave of fear and guilt.
"What are you afraid of?" Wu Hai hesitated for a moment and said, "Next time your sister asks again, don't say such a high turnover. Say less. The turnover should match the amount of goods we take from her. Don't give her too much."
“I always feel uneasy. My sister asked us what products we are selling. They are selling so well that her factory wants to make them too. I’m worried she might come here. Maybe we should go and buy some biscuits?”
“Your sister is busy with her studies, working at the food factory, and now running a cake shop. She doesn’t have time to take care of you. Don’t overthink it. She won’t know,” Wu Hai said. “Even if she comes, and we’re not selling cookies anymore, we can explain to her that we haven’t had time to pick up the goods recently, or that we just sold out. Can she watch over us 24 hours a day? Don’t overthink it. It’s easy to find an excuse.”
Tang Kai sighed and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
...
He Wenlin really didn't have time to check what products Tang Kai was selling, and such a thing didn't require her, the boss, to personally handle it.
She then arranged for someone to go...
She's very busy right now.
When I got back to the fast food restaurant that evening, I received a call from He Wenhua.
Xia Lijuan was delivering goods by bicycle when she overturned and broke her arm.
"A fracture? How are you going to run this fast food business?" Old Mrs. He was anxious. She had always been worried about He Wenhua opening the shop. Now that Xia Lijuan had a fracture, how would she work?
"Grandma, could you come and help out for a couple of days?" He Wenhua mustered up his courage and said, "I'll be hiring right away. Once I find someone, you won't have to work anymore. I'll pay you thirty yuan a day, how about that?"
In the past, He Wenhua would never have asked for this, but where would he find someone to help him all of a sudden? It would definitely take some time to process.
"Okay, I'll help you out for a few days."
When He Wenlin opened her shop, Grandma He came to help. Now that her grandson is in trouble, there's no reason not to help. Grandma He agreed without hesitation.
He Wenlin said, "Brother, didn't your sister-in-law's younger sister buy a ticket for tomorrow? If you can't find anyone to help out, have her come and help for a while. My little shop will be opening in about a week, and Grandma will be looking after it."
"Linlin, if her sister is here, won't your cake shop be short-staffed?"
“I still have other people at my cake shop, so it's okay if one person is missing. The others can work overtime. It's your situation that's urgent.”
