Chapter 227 What Business
Old Man Shou glanced at Zhu Suisui and snorted.
The little girl has also learned to tell tales.
The look in his eyes made Zhu Suisui feel a little confused.
However, when Old Man Shou turned around and faced Xu Hui, his expression softened a lot. He took the noodles and said thank you awkwardly.
This was the first time Zhu Suisui had met such an easy-going old man.
It's really shocking.
Xu Hui didn't know what the other person was like before, she just felt that Old Man Shou had a destiny with her. She was a kind-hearted and gentle person, the kind of soft persimmon that others would want to pinch when they saw her.
If I hadn't met the Zhu family, I don't know how badly I would have been bullied.
Xu Hui said concernedly, "Eat first. If it's not enough, I'll get you more."
I didn't feel like eating the mixed noodles just now, but when I ate it again now, I realized that I had ordered a new bowl, it was still hot and tasted even better.
Old Man Shou glanced at Zhu Suisui and felt that this clever girl was not without merits.
At least the noodles are delicious.
It tastes better than those sold on the street.
Old Man Shou hummed, and his attitude towards Xu Hui became much better. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, anyone who knew him would be shocked when they saw it.
He also said, "If you need anything, just tell me. You can use whatever you want in this yard."
Xu Hui smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shou."
Old Man Shou was a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but look at Xu Hui a few more times.
If this were my daughter, she would probably grow up like this.
Looking at this face, Old Man Shou couldn't bear to do it, not to mention that Xu Hui had such a good temper.
If this was Zhu Sui's plan, it must be said to be very successful.
He even congratulated himself for renting out the house at that time.
It's too cold outside.
Old Man Shou originally wanted to invite Xu Hui to come in and sit down, but after thinking it over he felt it was not appropriate, so he asked her to go back to the house and rest.
Xu Hui did not disturb him anymore and just told Old Man Shou to call her if he was hungry.
Wait for the old man to close the door.
Zhu Suisui stepped forward and took his mother's arm, saying in a friendly tone, "Mom, I feel relieved now. Before, Grandpa Shou had a strange temper, and I was worried that you two wouldn't get along well. I didn't expect that Grandpa Shou would treat you differently. Just like you said, this is the fate of our two families."
"Uncle Shou is a miserable man. We need to take better care of him." Xu Hui nodded in agreement.
It would be even better if we could really become relatives.
It's a pity that she didn't have this blessing.
Xu Hui didn't say anything, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart.
Being nice to Old Man Shou is also based on this kind of relationship. She thinks that she is a miserable person, and so is Old Man Shou, or even that Old Man Shou is even more miserable than her.
After all, Xu Hui has the care of the Zhu family, including her mother-in-law, her husband, and three sensible and filial children.
Imagine if you were like old man Shou...
Xu Hui didn't dare to think further, it was really too cruel.
The two men entered the house.
When Mrs. Zhu heard that the food had already been eaten, she felt relieved.
The whole family was silent.
Mainly because of the matter of old man Shou, the Zhu family's mood has also been up and down.
Seeing that everyone was doing the same thing, Zhu Suisui decided to bring up the topic.
"Second brother, after arriving at Sijiu City, what do you plan to do?"
Zhu Lechen's mind must be on making money.
Zhu Lechen saw a lot along the way, so he planned to visit the city again to familiarize himself with the situation.
He said, "I've never been out before. When I got to the train station, I found that even near our train station, there are food stalls selling everything. When I got to Sijiucheng, there were even more people shouting and selling things. Didn't you say that cooking can make money? My parents have southern skills. If we sell things in Sijiucheng, maybe we can come up with something new. I plan to do some more research. This is for my parents."
"As for me, I haven't figured it out yet. I feel like there is gold everywhere, but I don't know how to pick it up."
After hearing this, Zhu Suisui felt that Zhu Lechen had thought a lot.
I'm afraid I've been thinking about these things all the way, at least I've thought about the matter of Xu Hui and Zhu Xingguo.
Zhu Suisui nodded, "I think it's okay. You can run your business separately. Once your parents are on track, you might have some ideas."
Zhu Lechen must be separated from the others. Selling food is hard work and one has to make money with his skills. In the beginning, he doesn't need many people. Just Xu Hui and Zhu Xingguo are enough.
But neither of them is good at talking and they don't have much experience, so they need Zhu Lechen's help. After they get on track, Zhu Lechen can do other things and be successful in many aspects.
What food do you sell?
Everyone started discussing again.
If you want to make money by selling food, it doesn't require any technical skills, but that's not true.
It was winter and it was so cold outside. It was hard enough to get up early and work late, and you also had to choose a good location. It was impossible to rent a store at the beginning.
Even if Zhu Suisui could afford the rent, his family would not agree.
It was the first time for everyone to do business and they all had only a vague understanding of the subject.
Zhu Suisui had heard about the more profitable industries in the 1980s, but basically they all required capital. Only the food business did not require much capital.
But what to do made Xu Hui worried again.
She said, "Sijiu City is so big. Although your father and I can cook some food, can we really sell it?"
She saw that the cooking skills of the others were very good, and some of the things they sold were things she had never seen before. In her opinion, people in such a big city had eaten everything and might not necessarily appreciate the snacks she made.
Think about it this way.
The thought of backing out started.
Zhu Suisui suddenly had an idea, she said: "We can make rice balls."
"Rice balls?!"
Everyone looked at Zhu Suisui, not understanding what he meant.
Zhu Suisui nodded.
These rice balls seem to be more common in the south, and she has rarely seen them in Beijing.
In fact, if you want to do business well, first, the food must be delicious and clean, and second, the location must be good.
If you have neither, you can still make a little money in this era, it’s just a matter of how much.
Since you are just starting out, you need to choose something light, easy to make, and doesn't require too many materials, and wait and see how the market goes.
Zhu Suisui thinks that there is a nine out of ten chance that he can snatch it.
But after these words came out, even Zhu Lechen felt that it was a little unreliable, "Can rice balls be sold? Can't we just make it at home?"
"Second brother, there are no rice balls here, but what you said reminds me." Zhu Suisui thought about it and realized that this thing was too easy to replicate. If the business was really good, many people would probably follow suit. So she had to think of a way to allow people to replicate the appearance of the rice balls but not its taste.
