"Dad, this guy surnamed Jiang is no good. If he invites you to play cards, you're not allowed to go, and you should also avoid contact with him," He Wenlin instructed.
Gamblers and drug addicts should not be associated with; their behavior goes beyond simply liking to take advantage of others.
He Wenlin overheard the entire conversation between Jiang Dahong and He's father, and she thought Jiang Dahong wasn't a very good person.
"Right now, you're like a fat sheep in their eyes, and they all want to win your money. Be careful not to get lost in their flattery."
In her past life, He Wenlin had heard of and seen many people who suddenly became rich due to land expropriation, as well as small business owners who made money by doing business, only to be lured to the gambling table and end up losing everything, selling their houses and cars.
Mr. He himself enjoys playing cards and lacks willpower, making him an easy target and a target for others to set him up.
This is what He Wenlin fears most!
If she really can't resist and gets tricked into gambling, and loses money, will she still pay it back? Will she help or not?
Therefore, to prevent such things from happening, she recited the mantra every day, just like Tang Sanzang, to keep herself constantly vigilant.
Mr. He said impatiently, "I'm busy to death every day, where would I find the time to play cards?"
"I know you've worked hard. I'll use the money I earn to buy you a gold watch, and in the future, I'll buy you a BMW. Is that okay?"
He Wenlin thought to herself, "I'm going to keep you busy! Keep you from having time to play cards!"
When Mr. He heard about the gold watch and the BMW, he felt proud inside, but his face still looked sour.
He Wenlin knew that her father was like that, so she didn't mind.
Even though Mr. He has many shortcomings, he is much better now and is gradually changing. He is much more cooperative than before.
After having dinner, He Wenlin took a bus to the High-tech Zone to find He Ling.
After changing buses twice and spending more than two hours on the road, I finally met He Ling at the bus terminal.
"Linlin, have a bottle of iced cola to quench your thirst first." He Ling estimated the time and arrived here fifteen minutes early to wait.
"Thank you," He Wenlin said without hesitation.
Sisters who grew up together don't need to be so formal.
“There’s a cement factory near where my dad lives, and next to it are two garment factories. Come on, I’ll take you to see them.” After saying that, He Ling waved and hailed a motorcycle taxi.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the cement factory that He Ling had mentioned.
The two of them, holding an umbrella, walked from the cement factory to the garment factory, even though the gates of the cement factory and the garment factory were not on the same road.
He Wenlin walked to the entrance of Rose Garment Factory and found a bus stop about 50 meters to the left of the factory entrance. The gate of Jiuyan Garment Factory was about 10 meters further from the bus stop.
The intersection is about 60 or 70 meters to the right of the Rose Garment Factory.
He Ling pointed to the right: "Go this way, cross the road, there's a middle school over there, about two miles away. There's also a supply and marketing cooperative supermarket over there, which is considered one of the larger supermarkets in this area."
"Have you inquired about how many workers in these two garment factories?" He Wenlin asked.
“My mom works at Jiuyan Garment Factory. Their factory has about sixty people. I don’t know how many people Rose Garment Factory has, but it has more people than my mom’s factory.”
He Wenlin and He Ling crossed the road again, went to the school, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative supermarket for a while.
He Ling then told He Wenlin that there was a vegetable market 200 meters down the road diagonally opposite the school.
He Wenlin then led He Ling across the road to the vegetable market.
There are many stalls selling vegetables on both sides of the road near the market, as well as vendors selling biscuits and snacks from carts and vendors selling watermelons and apples from tricycles.
The environment is rather poor, but there seem to be a lot of people, and it's quite crowded.
The further you go in, the more lively it becomes.
The market wasn't very big, but it was quite crowded.
It's already past four o'clock, which is the peak time for grocery shopping in the afternoon.
"Linlin, where do you think would be a good place for me to set up a stall?"
"I think the entrance to the garment factory and the intersection where we came in earlier are both suitable."
There are still residents behind the garment factory, and there's a bus stop there; it's a decent place to sell breakfast.
The school is diagonally opposite this intersection, and people have to pass through there to enter and exit the market, so there's a lot of foot traffic there.
You can make two flavors of glutinous rice balls: one with hot and sour shredded potatoes (for a stronger flavor), and the other with chives and egg pancakes (for a milder flavor). You can also prepare some ham sausages and pork tenderloin; customers can add them for an extra fee.
He Wenlin patiently offered her her advice.
“Setting up a stall has lower costs and higher profits than opening a breakfast shop because you don’t have shop rent. You only need to sell fifty breakfasts to make more money than working in a factory.”
Fifty breakfasts generate a turnover of seventy-five, resulting in a profit of at least forty-five! That's over a thousand a month.
"My personal suggestion is that you sell breakfast at this intersection. Prepare it at home in the morning, take a longer rest at noon, and sell it for a while in the afternoon and evening when the factory closes. Business should be good, at least no worse than working a regular job. However, it will be hard work, with sun and rain. In this hot weather, you must be careful to protect yourself from the sun."
For girls, getting a tan affects their appearance.
He Wenlin is now dark-skinned and thin, and sometimes she doesn't even want to look in the mirror.
I've done this kind of work in the sun and rain this year, and I'd rather die than do it again next year.
She wants to be a fair-skinned, beautiful, and wealthy young woman.
"Then I'll do as you say. I'll sell breakfast here in the morning, and then come out to sell for a while in the afternoon and evening." He Ling was a little excited. "Linlin, can I buy your egg rolls?"
When He Ling was learning to make glutinous rice from He Wenlin, she witnessed firsthand how successful He Wenlin's shop and factory were.
Earning three yuan from a box of egg rolls, it would be impossible for her not to be tempted.
However, thinking that making glutinous rice balls requires some skill, and adhering to the "truth that it's never a bad thing to have more skills," I learned how to make glutinous rice balls.
“I feel this place is quite lively, and you can sell here, but if you have to sell glutinous rice every morning, noon, and night, I'm afraid you won't have time to sell egg rolls.”
Unless you only sell glutinous rice balls in the morning and evening, and sell egg rolls in the morning and afternoon.
But I'm not close to you. If you order too little, I'll give you the goods at a cost price of six and a half yuan and deliver them to you. It's not worth it for me.
If you come and pick them up yourself, it won't be cost-effective. I'll deliver to your door. Within the city, the minimum delivery is 200 boxes. Do you have information on whether you can sell them all within three or four days?
He Ling hesitated, mentally calculating the cost of two hundred boxes of goods.
He Wenlin continued, "There's still some time before National Day, so you should sell rice balls first and practice your thick skin."
If you decide to sell egg rolls around the 25th or 26th, then contact me again. There will be a lot of people during the National Day holiday, and the factory here should be closed. You can just sell breakfast.
You can make some egg rolls in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Two hundred boxes should last three or four days during the National Day holiday. You can also ask your parents to help you collect the money or something.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
He Wenlin's academic performance is so outstanding that now everyone listens to and believes whatever she says, especially her peers and those of the same generation who have great faith in her.
