In her previous life, Shen Jun worked in a dumpling shop. She had a long experience in the food and beverage industry, and Chu Yu trusted Shen Jun's judgment.
"Mom thinks dumpling chain stores are good. These days, as long as you are willing to work hard, think hard, and work hard, you can make money no matter what you do."
Having worked in the catering industry for two lifetimes, Shen Jun can't help but marvel at how different it is to be in the right place at the right time. These days, money seems to come out of nowhere. If you create something new and unique, as long as it's not available on the market and you're the only one doing it, you can make money.
Even in later generations, it wouldn't be easy for a buffet to become like Chu Jiali's.
With Shen Jun's affirmation, Chu Yu felt much more at ease. "Mom, do you have any dumpling recipes?"
Shen Jun has also made dumplings before. She doesn't know if she's good at it, but her chive and shrimp dumplings are especially popular. If she could contribute them to Chu Yu, it would be a favor to the dumpling shop.
Shen Jun made all the recipes she knew and let the whole family taste them together.
Several people tried dumplings of different flavors, and each one was a delightful surprise.
"I like shrimp with chives."
"I like the three delicacies."
"I like pork and cabbage."
Shen Jun smiled. The dumplings she made were of popular taste, but they tasted pretty good. However, she felt that if a dumpling shop wanted to be unique, it could offer some dumplings that were not commonly found on the market, such as mackerel dumplings.
Chu Yu agreed with her idea. Deng Fangping learned Shen Jun's recipe and was especially grateful to Shen Jun for selflessly providing the recipe. Others would not give such a wonderful thing to others in order to make money.
Shen Jun really didn't treat them like outsiders.
Deng Fangping was deeply moved. She was going to Beijing after the Spring Festival, so she would have to hand over her roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop in Deyang to someone else. Her shop was quite profitable and it was located near a school. She didn't want to ruin her reputation, nor did she want to transfer the shop to some dishonest people.
"Do you remember Sister Sun, the first person I hired? I only found out last year that her husband and eldest son drowned, leaving her a widow with her two daughters. Unfortunately, her daughters' lives weren't easy after they got married. Her eldest daughter married an abusive man, and her younger daughter's husband was even stranger. He said he only touched her once on their wedding day, and never touched her again after she gave birth. Later, her younger daughter accidentally saw him rolling around in the haystack with an uncle from the next village, and that's when she found out that her husband was gay! Now, both daughters have divorced and returned home. Sister Sun is raising her two daughters alone, and life isn't easy. She's meticulous and hardworking, and since her two daughters don't have much to do, I was thinking that if I were to transfer this shop, I might as well give it to them."
Not just anyone can run a snack shop.
Making money is good, but it's also really tiring.
I get up before dawn to buy groceries and don't close the shop until after evening self-study. After closing, I still have to wash dishes and clean the shop. By the time I finish everything, it's already late at night. I can only sleep for a few hours before I have to get up to buy groceries again.
One person can't do it alone; the whole family has to work together, with some getting up early and others staying up late, to get the shop up and running.
This is quite suitable for Sister Sun's situation.
Her two daughters are hardworking and will definitely cherish this shop. Deng Fangping has met her two daughters and they are both capable and clean people. She feels at ease transferring the shop to such people.
Chu Yu had no objections, but Shu Aiguo was a little unaccustomed to it. His wife and children had gone to Beijing, and he was left alone in Deyang, where life felt dull and meaningless.
However, Chu Yu plans to open a furniture market in Beijing next year. Once the production line technology is mastered by the workers, Shu Aiguo won't have to stay here every day.
Going to Beijing is the right thing to do. Shu Aiguo has been a rural person all his life and wants to experience what it's like to be a city dweller.
"Chu Yu, my second uncle doesn't have much money, but he also wants to buy a courtyard house in Beijing," Shu Aiguo said.
He had said last year that he wanted to buy a courtyard house, but he hadn't had a chance to go to Beijing to look at them. Coincidentally, Ding Da had a few properties available, so Shu Aiguo decided to go north with them, buy a house, and then come back.
These days, buying a courtyard house in Beijing requires qualifications. Ding Da's agency is very experienced and can help Shu Aiguo get things done, but Chu Yu still wants to give this money-making opportunity to Ge Lanzhi.
She called Ge Lanzhi in advance and asked her to help find a courtyard house.
Chen Baifu had talked to Ge Lanzhi about opening a real estate agency. Ge Lanzhi was thrilled, thinking that if such a capable girl as Chu Yu believed in her, she would definitely succeed!
These past few days, I've been wandering around Beijing, trying to understand the city's real estate market.
She actually managed to find out about a few properties.
She said on the phone that she would inquire again in the next few days and try her best to help Shu Aiguo buy the best location, the lowest price, and the most suitable house!
Next year, Chen Baifu will be going to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to spearhead the real estate industry in place of Chu Yu, and Ge Lanzhi will be opening a real estate agency in Beijing. Chu Yu will have quite a lot to do.
