Lu Jingshen said to Ai Xiaoxia in a doting tone, "Let Jingyuan buy the materials, and let Zhuzi find a car. Just paint the plaque, and don't work too hard."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "Well, you can go back to the city to work in the afternoon. Don't worry, we can do it well."
Lu Jingshen said, "I'll come back when I'm free. If there's anything you can't solve, just call me."
Ai Xiaoxia jokingly responded, "I understand, Engineer Lu."
This made Lu Jingshen laugh: "Then I have to pack up and prepare to go back to the city."
Li Shaofen said, "You guys go back to the house and clean up. I'll cook dinner early."
Lu Jingshen said, "Don't cook for me, Mom. I'll take the 10:30 bus back to the city if there's still time. I can talk to my colleagues about work during lunch so I don't waste time. This project is quite important, so I'll go back early."
Li Shaofen sighed: "Hey, you are so busy, it must be hard for Xiaoxia."
Ai Xiaoxia quickly said: "Mom, you should work harder for your career when you are young. Moreover, as a family member, we should support Jing Shen's position that contributes to the country."
Lu Guojiu put his hands behind his back and nodded, "Xiaoxia is far-sighted and has a broad perspective. The boss's wife is no ordinary person."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Dad, you're too kind."
After talking for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jingshen asked Ai Xiaoxia to take him to wait for the bus, as he also wanted to spend more time alone with her.
On the way, the two talked about Ai Xiaoxia's desire to go to night school and said that they would bring her books next time they came back.
Of course, Lu Jingshen didn't let Ai Xiaoxia walk too far, otherwise he would leave in a car and Ai Xiaoxia would have to walk back by herself, so they talked under a tree not far away in the shade.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Jingshen asked Ai Xiaoxia to go home and he went to the bus station on the street.
After Lu Jingshen left, Ai Xiaoxia leaned against a tree and let her mind clear for a while. The pace of life these past few days was really too fast.
After resting for a while, seeing that it was still early, she went to Boss Liu's house again. Her first pot of gold came from here, and she had to be responsible for the recipes she sold.
But I guess Boss Liu succeeded. Why don't you come to me for more consultation? The recipe steps he wrote that day are very detailed and should be easy for people in this industry to make.
When we arrived at Boss Liu's yard, we smelled the aroma of freshly baked bread. Boss Liu brought out two plates of freshly baked toast and placed them on a rack in the shade to cool.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia, he greeted her happily: "Xiao Ai is here. It's a good opportunity for you to see how this toast I made is." The last time Boss Liu sent her home, he learned Ai Xiaoxia's name, so he called her that.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at the appearance and thought it was very good: "It's good to look at. Boss Liu's craftsmanship is really not to be underestimated."
Boss Liu smiled and said, "That's because your recipe is so detailed. It's a good thing you're here. Please help me try it again. I'll bring these new products with me when I deliver the goods this afternoon."
Ai Xiaoxia broke off a piece of bread and took a bite. "Hmm, very authentic, tastes great, there will be no problem with sales."
"Come in and sit down. Your sister-in-law has gone to the neighbor's house. I'll wash my hands and make tea for you." Boss Liu started to get busy because he knew that this girl had many recipes. If he wanted to compete with others in the future, he would have to ask her for advice.
When Ai Xiaoxia heard that Boss Liu's wife was not at home, she did not want to go in. "Boss Liu, don't bother me. I was anxious to go home too. I just came to see how you were doing. If there is no problem, I will be relieved. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."
"If you have something to do, I won't keep you here. I'll pack some old-fashioned bread for you to take home and give to your parents-in-law. The elderly love the taste of our food." Boss Liu is a smooth and shrewd man, so naturally he wants to keep in touch with Ai Xiaoxia.
Ai Xiaoxia also understood this in her heart and understood the other party's selfishness. She smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Boss Liu went straight into the house, took out a plastic bag, and put in some freshly cooled old-fashioned bread.
Ai Xiaoxia did not refuse. She might have to buy an oven from him in the future. It was a business matter and both of them had their own ideas.
Boss Liu accompanied Ai Xiaoxia out the door.
Ai Xiaoxia took the bread back home.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the aroma of cooking coming from the yard.
Ai Xiaoxia went into the house, put the bread on the kang, and told Lu Guojiu that she had just visited Boss Liu's house.
Lu Guojiu's admiration for his daughter-in-law grew stronger and stronger, for she was thoughtful, generous, and sensible. He was actually skeptical, wondering why the previous Ai Xiaoxia was so different from the current one. But she was still the same person, and getting better was always better than before. He couldn't question her any further, as it would be disastrous if it provoked her to become like her before.
In the next two days, the family bought enough materials for business, the cloth sign was made, and the problem of the table on Su Changzhu's side was also solved, and their family started to officially do business.
Of course, Ai Xiaoxia also has plans to register a small factory for her family in the future so that she can do wholesale. But now she has to make money and save money first, otherwise everything she says will be empty talk.
Because Su Changzhu had no experience in selling goods, Ai Xiaoxia had to accompany him twice, and wait until Su Changzhu was familiar with and adapted to the situation before letting him set up a stall on his own.
Lu Jingyuan also went with them. Lu Guojiu felt more at ease with more people going.
This time, Ai Xiaoxia and her team brought forty bags of snacks, and they were all sold out in two hours before the next set. Ai Xiaoxia can now be basically certain that the sales volume of each set should be guaranteed to be around fifty bags.
Su Changzhu didn’t know how much money he could make from one bag, but he sold them all. Looking at the money in the bag, he was very excited.
Lu Jingyuan knew the cost. Today, he brought 15 bags of mung bean pastries, 15 bags of jujube paste pastries, and 10 bags of peach pastries. He sold them for a total of over 95 yuan, a net profit of over 40 yuan. His sister-in-law even said that he brought too little today. In the future, if he continued to sell 50 bags, would he be able to make at least 50 yuan per market? That's 750 yuan a month. Minus the 120 yuan he gave to his brother-in-law and some losses, the family would have a net income of 600 yuan a month.
But although this kid is quick-witted, he is not stupid. His sister-in-law had told him before that he cannot tell anyone the real profit, not even his sister and brother-in-law, because it is a business secret and also a rule. So he said nothing and just muttered to himself for a while.
After closing the stall, Ai Xiaoxia took Lu Jingyuan and Su Changzhu to buy five pounds of pork ribs, half for each family, saying that since the first day went so smoothly, they should celebrate and make something delicious for both families when they go back.
It was useless for Su Changzhu to refuse because Ai Xiaoxia was very strong and he couldn't get away with it.
I didn’t buy anything else because I had to go back early, otherwise my family would worry. I just bought meat, which is the most practical thing at this time.
After returning to the village, Ai Xiaoxia told Su Changzhu everything she needed to say, and asked him to take the ribs home quickly. His family was worried about whether it would be successful since it was his first time setting up a stall, so they asked him to go back early to inform his family.
