Chapter 641: Making Money
Shen Shan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep a close eye on it for you."
Shen Qingqian was helpless, "Third brother, except for the seasoning business, everything else belongs to all of us, why do you always say this?"
Shen Shan's smile paused, and then he said: "Okay, I said the wrong thing, I should have kept a close eye on our family."
Today, the Shen family has three main ways of making money: the output from the land, the sugar factory, and the pastry business.
Shen Qingqian never expected that after she went to Chengjin Mountain, Shen Qingning gave her a surprise when she came back.
Shen Qingning's pastry stall opened in mid-April. Shen Qingman negotiated with Li Hezhou, who readily agreed to let them set up the pastry stall in front of Yunzhongxian's gate.
Li Hezhou even had the counter renovated and a window opened facing the street so that Shen Qingning and her sister could cool down in the house when the weather was too hot.
During the hottest days, Shen Qingning did use the newly opened window and sold cakes while standing inside.
Surprisingly, the pastry stall's business was unexpectedly good.
Not to mention anything else, the merchants near the Yunzhongxian Restaurant alone can support the entire stall. Those people are all sweet lovers, and Shen Qingning is quirky and can come up with some new tricks from time to time.
Moreover, she learned it by herself and knew how to use the colors of vegetables to make colored cream. The small cake she made at the beginning was so beautiful that it was much better than the simple one made by Shen Qingqian last time.
In this way, this pastry stall became popular in northern Hubei.
If people who go to Yunzhongxian for dinner don’t buy a portion of cream pastry, it would be a matter of shame.
There were also people who heard the news and rushed over from other places just to have a taste of this novel pastry, just like those modern internet celebrity food check-ins.
In short, during the time when Shen Qingqian was not at home, Shen Qingning made rapid progress in pastry making. He originally only wanted to set up a stall, but now he has to open a shop on his own.
Shen Qingman came to see Shen Qingqian mainly to talk about opening a store.
"I've looked at a few shops that were up for sale before, but I wasn't very satisfied with any of them. Now that we've earned enough money from our pastry stall to buy a shop, there's no need to rent from someone else, which might cause trouble later."
She briefly analyzed the situation and then asked Shen Qingqian, "Sixth sister, what do you think?"
"I also support buying a store, but..." Shen Qingqian hesitated, "With our current status, if we buy a store in a high-profile manner, will it cause trouble for my uncle?"
Shen Qingman was stunned. She had never thought about this question.
Seeing this, Shen Shan said thoughtfully: "We should first ask the general what he thinks about this matter. If he says it's okay, we can buy it. If not, we can think of other ways."
It's not that there is no solution. We can ask Jiang Goudan and others to come forward, but there will be some hidden dangers.
Shen Qingqian nodded, "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. Is there anything going on at the sugar factory?"
Shen Qingman shook his head. "The people in Shangyang Village are very motivated and can exceed our assigned tasks every day."
"What about the people from Huanxiyuan?" When Shen Qingqian heard this, she felt that there was something more to it.
Shen Qingman sighed helplessly, "It was fine at first, but a few aunts and sisters couldn't help but whisper to each other. I told them many times but it was useless."
It is not a big deal to say a few words while working, but they are making food for the mouth, so aren't they afraid of saliva falling into it when they talk?
Besides, the sugar factory has a rule of taking a quarter-hour break every half hour. Can't you just hold back if you have something to say?
"I feel dizzy today, so I will update normally. I will add more chapters to make up for the must-read tickets tomorrow. I will check and urge you to update before 12 o'clock tonight. If you pass 50, I will add another one. Now it's 47."
