Chapter 157: Choosing flower pots and preparing for opening a shop
When the boss came to settle the bill, he counted them and said, "30 small unglazed ones and 20 glazed ones, total 310 yuan, let's call it 300 yuan. 50 medium unglazed ones and 30 glazed ones, total 760 yuan. 20 large unglazed ones and 20 glazed ones, total 800 yuan. And you chose six of the more expensive large ones, glazed and unglazed, each, I'll call it 450 yuan, I'll give you the change, total 2,310 yuan, 2,300 yuan."
"Boss, let me add you on QQ. If I need anything in the future, I may ask you to ship the goods directly to me. We can have long-term cooperation, but I need you to provide free shipping service." Zhang Wanwan took out her mobile phone, and the boss readily gave her a number. After both parties added each other on QQ, she immediately sent the delivery address and paid.
It was already dark when she returned to Pu City after finishing her work. The logistics showed that the location was in Hebei. It would take at least the day after tomorrow to get from Hebei to Jing City and then deliver the goods. She had one day left, which was just enough for her to spend some time with Zhang's father and mother.
"What? You have to go back to school early tomorrow morning?" Zhang's mother turned around in her busy schedule and looked at Zhang Wanwan in shock, forgetting the work in her hands.
Father Zhang frowned in confusion and said, "You rarely come back, why are you leaving so soon? The round-trip airfare is not cheap!"
Zhang Wanwan said coquettishly with a playful smile: "So I bought the earliest discounted ticket! Besides, I have something to go back for. I will come back here after I graduate. Then you guys don't have to be annoyed by seeing me every day!"
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang's mother said harshly, but she was very happy in her heart. When she thought of the chickens and ducks at home, her brows unconsciously frowned and she complained: "I had planned to nourish your body in the past seven days, but now you haven't even finished half of it. What a waste! How about you take some back to school and make soup yourself?"
Zhang Wanwan was so scared that she kept shaking her head, "Mom, I'm on a plane! I have to change trains when I get there, so please don't pack my stuff for me, I can't take it back!"
Zhang's mother could only give up the idea in frustration. That day, she took Zhang Wanwan to visit several shops on the pedestrian street and chose some thicker new clothes for her. She repeatedly reminded her, "It's cold in the north. It's still hot here now, but it should be getting cooler over there. Remember to wear more clothes and cover yourself with thicker quilts to avoid catching a cold. Call me if you have any problems. By the way, do you have enough money?"
"It's enough, enough. You don't have to worry about it!" Zhang Wanwan never told her mother about opening a shop, nor did she tell her that she had invested more than 20,000 yuan in it. Adding one semester's tuition, she only had about 20,000 yuan left. She had to make the flower shop profitable before the 20,000 yuan was spent, otherwise how could she explain to her family?
Zhang's mother has always been at ease with Zhang Wanwan. After hearing what she said, she didn't ask any more questions and turned to talk about family matters. "Your father and I have bought two stores now. One is near Century Plaza, the location is good, more than 40 square meters, and it cost more than 900,000 yuan. The other one is near the residential area. That one is cheaper, about 40 square meters, and it only cost 600,000 yuan. I told your father that now we have a house and a store, and we will put the money we earn in the bank. When you brothers and sisters graduate and need money, you can withdraw it, or use it for your marriage in the future. Hey! When you all get married, we really have nothing to worry about!"
Zhang Wanwan felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "Mom! You and my dad don't have to think about us all the time. Now that we have a house and a store at home, you don't have to work so hard. You can even not set up a stall. You can just be the landlord at home. Go wherever you want and enjoy life!"
"What kind of life are we enjoying? We are still young and strong, how can we take a break? Besides, do you think we can stay idle?" Zhang's mother sneered.
Zhang Wanwan choked. Given the personalities of Zhang's father and mother, she really couldn't imagine a scene where the two of them would just sit at home and stare at each other with nothing to do. She was afraid that if they stopped setting up the stall, they would be able to come up with new jobs.
"Let me tell you, your dad has been talking about buying property in his hometown of Qingpu. To be honest, I didn't quite agree at first. He has bought so many houses and shops here, and he may not go back to his hometown once a year. If he really buys property there, who will live in it? Who will take care of it? I talked to your uncle about it, but I didn't expect your uncle to stand on your dad's side. Forget it, forget it, your dad can do whatever he wants in the future. The land in his hometown is not valuable anyway. At the rate we make money now, we can build a beautiful villa in his hometown in less than a year. If your dad thinks this will give him more face, then let him do as he wishes. After all, the house will be built there." Zhang's mother muttered.
Zhang Wanwan was a little stunned. Before she was reborn, there seemed to be news that the area in her hometown was going to be developed. The villagers were eagerly waiting for the policy to come out. If the area was developed, they would be able to get several houses and some compensation, and the poor could become rich overnight. Unfortunately, she was reborn before the policy came out.
Seeing her in a daze, Zhang's mother tugged at her arm in confusion, "What are you thinking about! I'm talking to you!"
"Oh, I'm listening."
"Forget it, forget it. There's no point telling you all this. After all, everything is fine at home now. You don't have to worry about it. Just do what you need to do. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. You can't be suffocated by money when you are away from home!" Zhang's mother is rich now, so she speaks with confidence.
Zhang Wanwan pursed her lips in amusement and nodded obediently.
The next morning, she went out before dawn carrying the big bag she brought back and two or three bags of things. The bag on her back was so bulging that she couldn't get into the car, so she had to take it off and put it somewhere else.
There were almost no people on the street at this time, only the cleaners were working diligently. The driver was very good at driving, and the journey from the city to the airport was smooth. The journey that usually took almost an hour only took forty minutes, which was amazing.
Thanks to the helpful driver, it was still early when she arrived at the airport. She just bought some breakfast near the airport and went to check in.
When Zhang Wanwan arrived at her flower shop, it was just past eleven in the morning. The person who delivered the flowers and the person who delivered the stone flower pots called her. Zhang Wanwan simply stayed in the flower shop and had lunch while the other party was still there and got a broadband connection.
When the items were delivered, her empty flower shop was immediately crowded with people leaving no room to step. She asked the delivery staff to move the flower pots to the back door, and temporarily kept the flowers, trees and seeds in the store.
She has asked someone to dig the soil needed for planting flowers and trees in the mountains in the suburbs. Due to the distance, she is afraid that the soil will not be delivered until the evening or evening.
