People haven't even had a chance to enjoy their money and tickets yet, so many people are taking advantage of these few days to buy things. That's when they have spare money and tickets. By the middle and end of the month, business will definitely be terrible, and not many people will come to buy.
“It’s alright. The money I earn in one day is enough to support me for a month. You can earn at least forty or fifty yuan a month just selling snacks, plus another thirty yuan in wages, which adds up to seventy or eighty yuan. Earning over a hundred yuan a month is not difficult. You earn much more money than me every month now. I will rely on you to support me from now on. Honey, please don’t despise me or abandon me. I am still useful.”
Xu Zi pinched Yu Jiu's fair and smooth face and cried half-truthfully.
"Hmm, that's hard to say. Tell me what other uses you have first."
Yu Jiu raised an eyebrow slyly, wanting to see how Xu Zijiang would try to flatter himself, but he didn't expect Xu Zijiang to play by the rules at all.
He hugged Yu Jiu even tighter, and a hard stick pressed against him.
"I'll do your laundry, cook for you, give you massages... I'll serve you however I want. If my wife tells me to go east, I'll never go west. If my wife tells me to continue, I'll never dare to stop."
As Xu Zijiang spoke, he pounced on Yu Jiu and pinned him down, his eyes gradually turning dangerous.
"Wife, it's time to sleep. Let me take good care of you and make sure you're satisfied."
"No, I have to go to work tomorrow..."
Even after being married for a while, Yu Jiu still wasn't quite used to Xu Zijiang's ferocious stamina. If he really let her fool around all night, how could she get up to go to work? She had finally managed not to be late recently and had even reached an agreement with the manager to sell pastries. If she were late, all her efforts would be in vain, and the manager might throw her pastries out and tell her to get out in a fit of anger.
"I'll be gentler, okay? Let's not do it so many times, honey..."
As Xu Zijiang spoke, he spontaneously tore open Yu Jiu's clothes. He kissed Yu Jiu while mumbling indistinctly, and Xu Zijiang's hands nimbly slipped into the territory that no one else could touch.
Yu Jiu seemed to have been marked as a territory by a large wolfhound, which would kiss, pet, rub, and fuss with him from time to time, leaving its scent on him.
Now that the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released, Yu Jiu grabbed Xu Zi's shirt and nodded with a flushed face.
"Okay, turn off the lights."
"I want to keep the lights on today, honey, so I can see the expression on your face."
You're a pervert!
Xu Zijiang's games became increasingly elaborate, and Yu Jiu couldn't help but spit at him, her eyes filled with affection. However, the light remained on until late at night before it was finally turned off.
The next day, Yu Jiu was still able to move around, except for some lack of sleep. Xu Zijiang didn't want Yu Jiu to work too hard, so he only did it twice the night before, spending most of the time kissing, rubbing, touching, and hugging. Yu Jiu seemed to have a skin hunger, and he kept playing with her until late at night. Even after Yu Jiu fell asleep, he still lovingly left various marks on her skin.
He got up early again today to cook and help Yu Jiu get up. I have to say, this guy really has an excess of energy.
Yu Jiu shook her head. After breakfast, Xu Zijiang rode his bicycle and took her to the department store. Yu Jiu wasn't feeling well today, so Xu Zijiang naturally wanted to pick her up and drop her off all day. Yu Jiu didn't care; the harvest was already finished, and the team wasn't so busy anymore, so let him pick her up if he wanted.
However, since the pastries had already made a good start and were selling well, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang could continue making them with peace of mind. That evening, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu worked for half a day, replenishing many bags of pastries until they had a neatly stacked cabinet full of them, at which point they finally stopped, satisfied.
Because they were worried that rats would gnaw on the pastries, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu specially had a large cabinet made and placed in another room, specifically for storing these pastries.
Around the middle of the month, fewer people come to buy pastries, and sometimes we might not even sell a single pack a day. But that's alright; if we don't sell during the week, we can make enough to last a month when we do.
Moreover, Yu Jiu only held the tasting event on the first day. From the second day onwards, samples were still being offered, cut into very small pieces and placed at the counter. However, each sample cost only one cent, which deterred many people who came hoping to get something for free. Some people wanted to try their luck and eat all of Yu Jiu's samples, but she had anticipated this and changed the tasting event to require payment today. Those with ulterior motives could only leave cursing.
Yu Jiu's pastry counter is doing quite well, attracting far more customers than other counters. The manager couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had chosen to take a 5% profit margin each month, would she have made more money? Although she didn't know exactly how much Yu Jiu could earn from selling a pack of pastries, she felt that Yu Jiu used really good ingredients to make these things.
But when you're selling something, you're bound to make money, so she couldn't sleep all night, feeling like she'd lost a lot of money. Although she wasn't a bad person, many people have the desire to take advantage, and after enduring it for half a month, she couldn't resist anymore and wanted to come and renegotiate with Yu Jiu.
"What? Manager, we only signed the contract less than half a month ago, and you're already breaking it?"
Yu Jiu stared at her in shock, her eyes reproaching her, as if to say, "Manager, you're not usually like this. What's wrong with you today?" This made the manager embarrassed, a blush creeping across her face.
She cleared her throat and looked at Yu Jiu gently.
"It's not that we've broken the contract, it's that we're signing a new one. You can still run the pastry counter, but we'll change the way we pay the rent. How about 5% of your profits? That's what you said before."
"Manager, you signed that document. We signed a five-year contract, paying five yuan a month. How can you just change that like that? What's the point of signing a contract then?"
Yu Jiu also tried her best to suppress her temper and responded to her in a gentle tone.
"But I didn't know you could earn so much money!"
The manager blurted out the truth.
However, even if she didn't say it, Yu Jiu could tell, so she simply stopped hiding it and let everyone speak frankly.
"If I didn't agree to let you join our counter, you wouldn't be able to make this money. Xiao Jiu, I've done you a favor, haven't I? Putting everything else aside, you've made so much money, you're eating the meat, so we should at least get some soup too, right? Otherwise, who will respect you?"
She spoke earnestly, trying to use sentiment to overpower Yu Jiu, but Yu Jiu wasn't buying it and calmly retorted.
"I haven't heard anyone object to me doing this, manager, you must have misunderstood. You think I'm making money, but how much do you think I'm making? I use the best ingredients in all my pastries. I know how much flour costs per pound, how much sugar costs per pound, and I add all sorts of other ingredients. With such high-quality ingredients, the cost is naturally not low."
"And it was only lively for the first few days. Now the crowds are thinning out, and I can't sell a single pack all day long. On my first day selling pastries, I treated so many people to them and even had a free tasting event. Manager, to be honest, after deducting all sorts of miscellaneous costs, I'm lucky if I don't even lose money, let alone make a profit."
“I can only pay five yuan in rent, that’s all I can pay. What I value is a continuous income. I’d be happy if I could earn five or six yuan a month, or even seven or eight yuan a month. If you raise the percentage you pay to the department store, I might as well quit.”
