Chapter 144: Profit of 200+ per day
"Today's business is very good. For example, there are 23 bamboo cups made by my father-in-law that have not been returned. This is 23 yuan. This is for my father-in-law. It is something you worked hard to make. We can't take advantage of it!"
Xu Xuemei first counted out twenty-three yuan and handed it to Huo Chenggong.
Huo Chenggong was stunned for a moment and forgot to refuse. After a while, he reacted and quickly pushed the money back, "No, I can't help much, and this thing is not worth much."
"Everyone has helped, how can I take this money?"
Huo Chenggong's attitude was actually within everyone's expectations. After all, although he was not a talkative person, he was very honest.
"Father-in-law, Taozi said that what we are doing is called cooperation. You don't know how good this bamboo cup you made is for us. If it weren't for this cup, this milk tea might not be sold."
Xu Xuemei told the truth that if there were no bamboo cups, so many people would not be able to carry cups with them when they went out, which would result in many people being unable to buy them even if they wanted to.
Huo Chenggong felt a little embarrassed. He looked at his wife, then at his son and daughter-in-law.
Finally, Chen Jintao spoke up, "Dad, just keep it. What my mom said is right. This cup really played a big role. And not every day so many cups are sold. I'm sure many people will bring their own things later. But if it can be sold later, the money will still be given to you, Dad."
Even if the two families are relatives, neither is the type to care about things, but they still can't be careless, especially when it comes to business. They still have to make it clear first, otherwise even the best relationship may contain grudges, which will affect the relationship between the two families.
If the parents of both sides don't get along, Shen Jintao and Huo Beichuan will be in a very difficult situation.
"Well... well then!" Huo Chenggong was also happy. "I didn't expect that I would make a lot of money one day. I made so much in one day. If I can sell a hundred in a month, I will make a fortune."
Hearing her father-in-law's words, Shen Jintao just smiled. As expected, they were still too simple and naive. She knew that in the future, it would not be a problem to sell handmade products like Huo Chenggong's abroad. If he became famous, it would not be impossible for such an ordinary cup to be sold at a sky-high price.
But it's useless to say these things now. To put it bluntly, even if you tell them now that these things can make them a lot of money in the future, they probably won't believe it.
Xu Xuemei took out another twenty yuan and gave it to Liu Guifen and Huo Nanxi. "Mother-in-law and Xiaoxi have been busy all day. We can't let you work in vain."
"How can this be possible?" Liu Guifen quickly waved her hands. Forget about her own man, but if he asked her to pay for just helping to sell things, that would be too unkind.
"We are all family, you are being too polite. Besides, Xiaoxi and I can't help much. Xiaoxi has to go to work tomorrow, and I have to go back to the army with Taozi and the others. I am just helping out, and if you want to pay me for it, it would be a bit of an insult to me."
"What kind of wages is that?" Xu Xuemei obviously had her own principles. "This is dividends. If it weren't for your help, Taozi and I wouldn't be able to sell so many."
Under Xu Xuemei's insistence, Liu Guifen and Huo Nanxi had no choice but to accept the money. Holding the ten yuan in her pocket, Huo Nanxi took a deep breath and suddenly spoke,
"Mom and Dad, I want to follow Auntie too."
"What?"
Now Huo Chenggong and Liu Guifen were both very upset. Huo Nanxi's work was still very good, so they were still a little shocked that Huo Nanxi would have such an idea.
"Yeah! I think our restaurant's business is getting worse and worse. I don't know when I will be laid off. It's better to plan for myself as soon as possible."
Huo Nanxi also went out for a trip today and felt the charm of doing business.
"But doing this doesn't seem very stable. Now I'm not sure whether the policy will change in the future. What if... you quit directly, it will be difficult to find a job in the future." Liu Guifen expressed her concerns.
Huo Nanxi naturally understood that her mother was doing this for her own good, but she still wanted to give it a try.
Chen Jintao thought Huo Nanxi was quite far-sighted. As expected, all the children in the Huo family were very smart. However, she could also understand the disapproval of the older generation.
"Actually, Xiaoxi's idea is not bad, but mom and dad's concerns are not unreasonable. Xiaoxi, you can wait a little longer."
Although Shen Jintao knew the situation behind, she couldn't say it directly.
Huo Nanxi sighed, "Actually, I don't know what to do myself, but I think doing business will definitely work. And even if I want to resign now, I can't leave for a while. I have to wait until the restaurant finds a new chef."
"Well, let's wait and see."
Business is indeed not very stable right now. Chen Jintao feels that it will take another year before she can really start doing it. Huo Nanxi is also hesitant in her heart. The best outcome is to wait for the time being. "But if you are on break, you can still try to help out. Wait until you really make up your mind."
"Okay! I'll listen to my sister-in-law!"
Huo Nanxi already had unconditional trust in her sister-in-law. She felt that since her sister-in-law said so, it must be feasible. However, judging from her parents' attitude, they would probably not agree to her resigning immediately.
As he was saying this, Old Lady Xu and the three uncles and three aunts of the Xu family all came over.
As soon as Mrs. Xu entered the room, she walked straight to Xu Xuemei and said, "My daughter... just now... just now, my son-in-law told us. Is it all true?"
"Yes, it's true. I asked you to come here this time because I wanted to discuss something with you. I think the sisters-in-law can come with me to do this. If you are still not too reassured, you can let the eldest brother and the others continue to farm. We will do it first. If we really do a good job, it won't be too late to let the eldest brother and the others go out then."
Xu Xuemei didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
The three uncles and aunt of the Xu family also hurriedly inquired about today's situation. When they learned that in just one day, in addition to the profit paid to the Huo family, the younger sister still made a profit of more than 200 yuan, they were all shocked.
Seeing their excited expressions, Chen Jintao had to pour cold water on them. "Although today's business is good, it doesn't mean it will be like this in the future. The reason why we can sell so many today is because it's fresh. Others haven't eaten it yet, so they want to try it. But this kind of business doesn't happen every day. I estimate that a profit of 100 yuan a day in the future will be very good."
Despite what Chen Jintao said, it did not dampen their excitement at all. Let alone a hundred yuan a day, even ten yuan a day was something they could not even think about. This was better than going to work. When had they, the peasants, ever thought that they could make so much money by doing such a small thing?
