Chapter 79 Buying Peace and Quiet
Jiang Jianni nodded: "Yes, one hundred and sixty, I'm not lying to you."
"But they have conditions."
Yang Yuemei quickly pressed on, "What's the prerequisite? Does it mean we have to wash and prepare the vegetables properly?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll wash it thoroughly, you won't see a speck of mud or dust."
Jiang Jianni shook her head: "No, it's because the things they make all have special recipes, and they spend a lot of money to buy them from master chefs. They're very expensive."
"When the time comes, do whatever they ask you to do. Even if you don't like it, don't make any changes for them."
"If you mess up someone else's recipe and make something that tastes bad, no one will buy it, the business will fail, and you won't make any money."
"Mom, you'll really have to compensate them then."
This is also what Jiang Jiani fears most.
People of Yang Yuemei's generation truly embody frugality to their very core.
We should be frugal with our own money, but we also feel compelled to say something when we see others wasting money.
However, doing business is different from daily life.
The things you make with shoddy workmanship may fool people for a while, but not forever.
—Don't even mention a lifetime, you can't coax them for even a month.
In Jiang Jiani's previous life, there was a restaurant near her neighborhood that was like this.
The owner had mediocre skills but was very confident. When other restaurants offered higher quality food, he naturally couldn't stay in business.
But the boss was not convinced.
He then opened a chain of potato noodle shops.
Chain stores all have their own special ingredients.
The owner insisted on being clever; he used plenty of base ingredients at the beginning, and the taste was indeed good.
Jiang Jianni thought the taste was pretty good after eating it once, so she ate it again about ten days later, and then she found that the flavor had become thinner.
By the time I ate there for the third time, it tasted completely different from when the shop first opened—it was just plain boiled with a little Sichuan peppercorn, soy sauce, and vinegar.
The changes took no more than a month.
Then, about two months later, the shop closed down.
Jiang Jianni intends to contribute a portion of the funds.
If Yang Yuemei's frugality ultimately leads to the shop going out of business, Jiang Jianni will be furious.
So after mentioning Yang Yuemei to the Lu family, she thought it over and decided not to teach her directly, leaving it for Lu Sitian to teach her herself in the future.
What is easily obtained is never cherished.
They won't cherish what their own children have.
Yang Yuemei waved her hands repeatedly: "How could that be? How could that be? Those are other people's things. I'm already satisfied that they're willing to give me work and pay me such a high salary. How could I dare to mess with other people's things?"
Jiang Jianni shrugged: "It's okay even if you move..."
Yang Yuemei immediately wanted to emphasize that she really wouldn't move, but Jiang Jiani added:
"Anyway, I told them that if you mess with their things or tell their secrets to outsiders, they will fire you without giving me any face."
"It's already a big favor that they're willing to give you a job."
"Mom, that's Lu Xiangyang's sister. You don't want me to lose face in front of my in-laws, do you?"
"No, no, don't worry. Don't you know your mom? I'm the most obedient mom."
Jiang Jiani smiled without saying a word.
Yang Yuemei listens to outsiders the most, but acts arrogantly and spoiled towards her family.
But she has one good point: if she goes too far, and you get angry, she'll back down on her own.
Yang Yuemei felt uncomfortable with her laughter and tapped her forehead in annoyance: "You, you're just afraid that your mother will embarrass you."
She checked again, still not entirely convinced: "Is the salary really 160? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Jiang Jianni nodded in confirmation: "Really, I'm not lying to you."
"But it definitely won't be that high at the beginning. After all, you don't know anything at the beginning, and they have to go through the trouble of teaching you. It's already good enough if they don't charge you tuition and even pay you a salary. Don't expect them to pay you such a high salary all at once."
Yang Yuemei patted her chest: "I know, it's not like I'm new to this job. Your dad's salary has been increasing slowly too."
Yang Yuemei was in a great mood, knowing she would have a good job in the future: "Jia Ni, don't leave today. Don't you love Mom's pancakes the most? Mom will make you some pancakes."
After glancing at Jiang Jiani, he emphasized again, "Add eggs, add five eggs, and chopped green onions."
Yang Yuemei's cooking is so-so, even her steamed buns are just so-so, sometimes she even steams up inedible rock eggs, but her pancakes are absolutely amazing.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, savory and delicious.
Jiang Jianni suspected that the pancakes needed to be made with a lot of water in order to save a lot of flour.
Suddenly, I had a thought that Yang Yuemei should go and sell pancakes—if she sold pancakes, she certainly wouldn't fail because she made them too badly.
However, they might choose inferior flour to save money, and they might also cut corners on ingredients like eggs and scallions.
Forget it, I'll just go work as an assistant.
Yang Yuemei went off to make pancakes with high spirits, leaving Jiang's father looking at Jiang Jiani with complicated emotions, and sighing after a long while:
Are you worried about the situation at home?
No matter how well Jiang Haibing explained it, Jiang's father remained skeptical until it became a reality—the owners of private enterprises weren't fools, so why would they offer such high salaries?
After the initial excitement, distrust began to fill Jiang's father's mind.
Now even Jiang Jianni is starting to worry about her family and wants to find her mother a high-paying job.
Jiang's father was experiencing a mix of relief, disappointment, and sadness.
The man's strength almost gave way.
Jiang Jianni chuckled: "What do I have to worry about? My brother's here, what do I have to worry about?"
Jiang Haibing is really awesome.
During the renovation of Jiang Jiani's house, the doors were always wide open for construction.
People who have bought other houses can't help but go and take a look—after all, they also need to renovate their own homes.
Everyone who has seen it is captivated by the house's unique features.
At this time, most people who can afford to buy a house have good conditions.
Since people have bought a house, they naturally want to renovate it well. With ready-made examples and complete construction teams in front of them, why would they bother to look for others?
And just like that, the renovation work was secured.
Jiang Haibing looked pitiful when he told Jiang Jiani, but in reality, his workers were never idle.
The renovation team has already started making money.
If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, we definitely wouldn't be operating only three construction sites.
“I just felt I had to find something for my mom to do, otherwise she would be watching Haiyang and Jenny all day long.”
“They both told me a few days ago that my mom treats them like elementary school students now. When they are doing their homework or sleeping, my mom just walks in without knocking, which has startled them several times.”
"They're all at crucial moments, this won't do!"
"Why not find her something to do, so she won't be watching them all day?"
Sure enough, upon hearing about the high salary, Yang Yuemei's mood immediately changed.
