Chapter 106 I Want to Open a Snack Shop
Opened for several years? Ruan Fu became more curious as she listened.
Liu Mei left Ruan's house just over ten days ago. How could she have run a noodle shop here for several years?
There must be others helping.
Then he asked, "Is that woman usually the one who takes care of it?"
The aunt shook her head. "No, the woman only comes here occasionally. Usually it's the man who's busy running around. They look like a couple. Actually, they started out selling noodles on the street. Later, when their business got big and they made a lot of money, they bought the shop."
Ruan Fu suddenly understood.
If that were the case, it would make sense.
The Ruan family did not split up.
All the money everyone earns has to be handed over to Old Lady Ruan, so it is certain that Liu Mei wants to keep it for herself.
But she is indeed very cunning, and she was able to secretly open this small noodle shop without telling her family.
Running this kind of restaurant requires a lot of energy and time. Before, Ruan Dajiang always said that he worked as a handyman outside all year round and was rarely at home.
Occasionally he would come back to stay for a few days and pay a dozen yuan. Old Mrs. Ruan was very happy and would brag to everyone about her son's promising future and ability to make money.
She originally found it strange that Ruan Dajiang was doing some odd jobs and had work to do all year round.
After all this time, it turns out that he is not working at all, but is the boss of his own noodle shop.
The eldest son, whom she had always trusted, had already developed selfish motives and even wanted to kick her out as his own mother. I wonder what Mrs. Ruan would think when she saw this scene. I'm afraid she would be so angry that she would die on the spot.
Looking at the current customer flow, we can sell at least fifty to sixty bowls a day. Even if we only make fifty cents on a bowl of noodles, we can still make twenty to thirty yuan a day, which means several hundred yuan a month.
This noodle shop has probably been around since Ruan Zhiguo was in high school. With so much money coming in every month, what about a year? How many years? Ruan Dajiang and his family would have already made a killing.
After all this time, it turned out that Liu Mei was the smartest one, and everyone was kept in the dark by her.
He earned so much money, but still had to cry poor to Old Lady Ruan and squeeze out his own school place. This person's mind is too vicious.
Ruan Fu was very unhappy.
Nonsense, she is not a saint. She was bullied like that before, so now she has to congratulate the other person on his wealth?
Qin Fang saw something, and when the aunt walked away, he lowered his voice and asked, "Afu, do you know them?"
Ruan Fu didn't intend to hide it from the other party and nodded.
"It's my uncle's family. I didn't expect to meet them here."
After all this time, they are still members of the Ruan family.
Qin Fang was now full of hostility towards this group of people, and immediately asked: "What are they doing here? Do they want to bully you again?"
Ruan Fu shook her head, "They can't bully me."
This is true. If the Ruan family dares to come to my house again, I will definitely beat them away with a stick.
The only thing I worry about is the future.
I also want to open a snack bar, but there are only so many students here. When there is competition, given Liu Mei's personality, there will definitely be conflicts.
We can only take it one step at a time.
After eating the wontons, I went to pay the bill.
Ruan Fu asked the aunt, "Boss, do you know if there's any storefront for rent nearby? I'd like to see if I can start a small business."
Another competitor has arrived! The auntie's eyes immediately became alert and her tone was not very happy.
"Sister, don't think that the snack bar business is good, but the prices are not high, and you can't actually make much money."
No one wants more competitors.
Ruan Fu knew that the other person wanted to say something unpleasant so that she would back down.
She smiled and took out an extra pack of cigarettes and handed it over.
"Auntie, I won't compete with you for business. Please help me find out. This is my hard work fee. When I actually rent the house, I will thank you later."
She has always been efficient in her work, and matters like this that require favors can be solved with a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine.
Sure enough, when the aunt saw the pack of cigarettes and heard Ruan Fu say that she would not compete with her, she finally relaxed.
"Oh, it's just a matter of words. How can I have the nerve to take your cigarettes?"
"That's nothing," Ruan Fu said, smiling as she handed it over. "I don't know anyone in this area, so I'll need your advice in the future."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially when this girl is pretty and sweet-talking.
The aunt slapped her thigh and hurriedly wrote down an address. "Comrade, when you have time, go find this person. His name is Wu Wencai. He has a wide network of contacts and will definitely be able to find you a storefront."
This pack of cigarettes is really effective.
Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie."
Coming out of the wonton shop, Qin Fang looked a little hesitant.
"Afu, if you really need money, why don't you..."
Today is the last day of the mulberry leaf business. He originally thought that Afu would concentrate on her studies in school, but he never expected that she wanted to do some other business.
The question is whether I have the energy to keep up. Studying in the third year of high school must be hard.
Qin Fang had never opened a small restaurant, but he thought it would not be easy. There is no such thing as making money without hard work. He didn't want Afu to work hard and wanted to hand over his passbook directly.
"Qin Fang, I'm not short of money, it's just that my time is precious and I want to do more things." Ruan Fu knew what the other party meant and just shook his head.
The 1970s and 1980s coincided with the wave of reform and opening up. There was gold everywhere, and whoever picked it up first would get it. I didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Qin Fang knew her temper, so he simply stopped trying to persuade her. Forget it, let Afu do whatever she wants, and he will just help her when the time comes.
The two men arrived at the textile factory.
Qin Fang planned to take Sang Ye in himself, "You rest here for a while, I'll be out soon."
He had other plans in mind, and Wu Jianping probably hadn't completely given up the idea. If he let Afu appear in front of him now, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
The picture is too beautiful, I don’t want to.
Ruan Fu smiled. Of course she knew what the other person was thinking.
This man looks very generous, but he is also very petty in some aspects.
He explained tactfully, "He helped me once after all. Today is the last day, and I want to go and thank him. Besides, with you around, nothing will happen."
Qin Fang thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, with herself by her side for comparison, Afu would definitely not fall for Wu Jianping.
Besides, they are now a serious couple, and they are in a legitimate relationship, so they are not afraid of Wu Jianping coming to snatch her away.
Showing affection from time to time might make Wu Jianping give up the idea immediately.
I immediately became happy and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Hu Xianglian is a little unhappy today.
Her son Wu Jianping has been in a low mood recently. He has no appetite and is like a lovesick person. He even calls for Fuzi in his dreams, which makes her very worried.
As soon as the food coupons were issued, I hurriedly stewed a pot of chicken soup, thinking of sending it to the factory.
Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into Wu Dongmei, who was talking arrogantly to a group of people.
Hu Xianglian squeezed past and said, "Please make way."
When Wu Dongmei saw her, she snorted coldly, "I thought it was someone else, Hu Xianglian, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."
Hu Xianglian was a little angry, "Wu Dongmei, what are you showing off again?"
Wu Dongmei smiled smugly, "You're here to show off, aren't you? My Wang Ying just finished taking an exam organized by the city, and only students with good grades are eligible to take it. And she told me the questions are very simple, so I'm sure she'll score well."
