Chapter 143: Making Money
When Huo Nanxi returned to the outside of the cinema, Xu Xuemei and Liu Guifen had just returned.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and help me pack some out!" Huo Nanxi said while holding up the thermos.
Chen Jintao: ...
When they learned that she had brought back such a large order just by going to the state-owned restaurant, Xu Xuemei and Liu Guifen almost went crazy with joy.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Are they thinking about taking care of our business? Otherwise, how can they sell so much?" Xu Xuemei was still a little worried. She always felt that this was not a good idea. Other people's money did not come from the wind.
"No, my sister-in-law just asked me to bring some to them to try. After they tried it, they all thought it was delicious, so they asked me to bring it. Luo Ya, in particular, likes popcorn very much."
Huo Nanxi hurried to explain.
"Is that so? Okay then!" Xu Xuemei also hurriedly got busy. There were so many things that Huo Nanxi definitely couldn't carry them all by herself, so she quickly followed to deliver the things over.
Liu Guifen said that she had to make another trip, after all, a lot of money had been used up here at the state-owned restaurant, so what would she do with the afternoon business? Otherwise, they will be sold out in a short while.
Chen Jintao thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. At this time, most people were either eating at home or taking a lunch break. No one had come out to watch a movie yet. She could handle it by herself.
However, today's chaos also made Shen Jintao realize a very serious problem. If the situation is like this every day, it is still necessary to rent a house in the town. Even if she cannot open a store directly for the time being, it will be much more convenient.
Thinking of this, when Huo Nanxi and Xu Xuemei came back after delivering the goods, Shen Jintao brought it up directly.
Xu Xuemei still trusted what her daughter said very much, but she was still a little hesitant about opening a store.
"Is this really all right?"
After all, the crackdown on capitalists in previous years was so severe that Xu Xuemei had to consider her entire family.
"It's okay. Before the policy is completely relaxed, we can continue to set up stalls. Renting a house is just for convenience. Otherwise, it's not easy to run back and forth between the village and the town several times a day. Another thing is that the village is still a little far away. If it's in the town, the food will taste better."
Hearing what Shen Jintao said, Xu Xuemei gritted her teeth and agreed to the proposal.
Anyway, renting a house is not expensive. It’s only a few dollars a month at most. I have made so much money in one day. I won’t lose money by renting a house. If it doesn’t work out, I can just return it.
After having the idea, she was full of motivation again. After all, before today, Xu Xuemei had never thought that she could earn several months' salary of others in one day. Although she had no coupons, it was good to have money.
My son is going to college soon. According to my daughter, there is nothing wrong with her son getting into a good university. There will be many places to spend money at that time. If she can earn more, the man will have less pressure.
After a busy day, all the bamboo cups that Liu Guifen brought over were sold out. At six o'clock, when they were sure that no one would come to return the bamboo cups, the four women prepared to pack up and go home.
At this time, Huo Beichuan and several other men also came to the town. The main reason was that it was still getting dark early, and they were a little worried that the four women would have to walk home at night. In addition, seeing Liu Guifen running back and forth, they knew without thinking that the business must be very good, and they must have a lot of money on them. If they didn't come to pick them up, they would be really worried.
It would be different if they could have a shop in the town at this time. Xu Xuemei also felt the benefits of renting a house, and was even more moved by her daughter's proposal. She couldn't wait to go home and discussed it with Shen Jianmin on the way.
Shen Jianmin was a little unhappy when he heard this. "It's okay to rent a house, but I still have to pick you up and take you home to stay at night. By then, Taozi and the others will have returned to the army, and our Dongzi will also go to school. I can't be home alone!"
When talking about this, Shen Jianmin felt a little aggrieved.
Why was he pushed to be the team leader? It was all his father's fault. He did such a good job as the team leader that after he stepped down, people wanted to let the Shen family take over.
"This..." Xu Xuemei hesitated a little.
"Actually, my dad said this method is also feasible. As long as there is a place to make popcorn and milk tea, it will be more convenient than it is now. If the business is really good in the future, we can talk about it later."
Shen Jintao spoke for her father. After all, her father is still the team leader, and it is not easy for him to get away. He basically has to stay in the team every day, dealing with various things. It is especially busy when the year is coming to an end. He is busy with paying public grain, storing grain, distributing grain, storing grain, and planning for planting for the next year. When the New Year is approaching, he is also busy with arranging the slaughter of pigs. In short, Shen Jianmin is really busy.
Xu Xuemei thought about it and felt that what her daughter said made sense. Besides, if she really lived in the town and had an old man at home, this would not work.
Chen Jintao then said, "Actually, it's a little too early to talk about this now. We can ask my uncle and aunt to do it together when the time comes. They can also stay in the store at that time."
Xu Xuemei's eyes lit up, "My daughter is smart and useful!"
The two families returned to Huaxi Brigade happily, with smiles on their faces that could not be hidden.
Naturally, their behavior attracted a lot of attention, and they asked them what good things had happened and why they were so happy.
Xu Xuemei didn't say anything, and everyone else laughed it off. It was not appropriate to let others know about this matter for the time being, so they would talk about it after things stabilized.
"Tell me, should I call your uncle and the others over to discuss this?"
Xu Xuemei is eager to try. If there is a way to improve the living conditions of her mother's family, it would be great.
Chen Jintao thought about it and decided that this was a good idea. After today’s incident, the reputation of popcorn and milk tea must have been spread, and the future business would definitely be good. After all, these two things were very popular even in later generations when various snacks and drinks were popular.
"Okay, you can call grandma over and see what they plan to do after discussing it." Chen Jintao didn't know whether the Xu family would be interested in doing business.
"Okay, then I'll ask your dad to go and call for help!"
Shen Jianmin immediately rode out on his bicycle.
Xu Xuemei started to settle the accounts.
