After careful consideration, Gu Youlian told Lin Qingping that she would definitely not do that.
"I have hands and feet. As long as I am willing to work hard, I will make money. I only have Xiaomai as my daughter. What I earn is for her anyway. If she can't do that, I will work hard to earn more. I will never be worse off than the Du family's sons!" At this point, Gu Youlian's eyes became more determined. "Pingzi, what you said makes me want to stay in the capital even more. The bigger the place, the more opportunities to make money!"
Gu Youlian followed Lin Qingping from the village to the county and then to the provincial capital. She had really seen the world and simply believed in a simple truth: who would buy clothes that were sold at Pingzi for twenty or thirty yuan each in Gujia Village? Few people dared to buy them in the county, but it was different in the provincial capital. There were so many people scrambling to buy them! The capital was bigger than the provincial capital, and she heard that they were also very easy to sell!
Isn't it true that the bigger the place, the easier it is to make money?
This is indeed the truth. However, Lin Qingping was even more surprised that Gu Youlian actually had such an awareness. Isn't this the same as the parents who "push their children to succeed rather than themselves" a few decades later? If the child is not talented, then let her be a rich second-generation with no worries about food and clothing.
All right! Just because of Gu Youlian's awareness, she has to help Gu Youlian!
Moreover, her main job is studying, and the dessert shop is just a side job. Eventually, she will have to hire people, and she can trust Gu Youlian!
So, there were only three people who went back - the parents-in-law and Dugan.
Xiaomai was very happy to be able to stay. Although she was reluctant to leave her grandparents, she also liked her aunt and enjoyed going to school with Zhiyuan.
After her parents-in-law went back, Lin Qingping took Gu Youlian to familiarize herself with the dessert shop.
At that time, bakery shops were still rare. Later, a well-known brand of so-called high-end cakes was established in the early 1990s. Therefore, the materials were not so easy to obtain and were relatively more expensive, but fortunately, it was still within Lin Qingping's budget cost.
Since you choose baking as your career, you can’t just use a pot to steam the cakes like you do at home. An oven is a must.
Lin Qingping imported two commercial ovens and coffee machines through Wu Tianjiao, and also found a store specializing in imported products to buy some raw materials.
The oven came from across the ocean. On the day it was delivered to the store, Lin Qingping took Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao to the store to receive the goods and demonstrated on the spot how to make bread.
The two watched Lin Qingping put the formed dough into the oven, and when they learned that they just had to wait, they said it was not difficult.
Indeed, for hardworking and kind-hearted working women, it is all about kneading and fermenting dough.
The bread was baking in the oven, gradually emitting a rich aroma.
Not only were Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao so hungry by the smell, but it also attracted people outside the store.
"Are you baking bread? It smells so good!" a voice rang out.
Lin Qingping turned around and saw that it was him...
Haha, long time no see.
He could be considered her "brother" in her previous life.
In her previous life, she ran a catering group, and this person's family ran a Western restaurant, and it was a long-established Western restaurant. She and this person's father were close friends regardless of age, so she got to know this "brother".
In fact, they had met before in this life. The first time she took the Gu family to the provincial capital to eat steak, they went to his restaurant. At that time, she was a customer and he was the owner's son. They ran into each other in a hurry. She knew him, but he didn't recognize her.
But how could he end up in the capital? In his previous life, the only times he had been to the capital were for tourism.
"Hello, hello. Excuse me, is your last name Lin?" The young and handsome boy, two years younger than Lin Qingping, came in with a smile and introduced himself. "I'm from the western restaurant across the street. My name is Liang Jiaqi. Nice to meet you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Qingping smiled and said, "Nice to meet you again."
Western pastries are not new to Liang Jiaqi, but he still praises the bread baked by Lin Qingping.
The four of them had afternoon tea in the store.
Gu Youlian and Sister Zhao had no idea what afternoon tea was. The thing called coffee was extremely bitter, like drinking Chinese medicine. Even after adding half a cup of sugar, it was still bitter. They didn't understand how Lin Qingping could drink the black coffee without any sugar.
During the brief chat over afternoon tea, Lin Qingping learned that Liang Jiaqi was also attending university in the capital, but not in the same school as hers, but next door.
Lin Qingping was a little surprised, because in his previous life, Liang Jiaqi was really a playboy in his first thirty years who was uneducated, only knew how to spend money, and argued with his father every day.
With her rebirth, has everyone's fate changed?
However, Lin Qingping was still happy for him because he could become down-to-earth and work hard to study.
Now Gu Youlian lives in Lin Qingping's newly bought house and insists on paying the rent. She also said, "Pingzi, I know you are also renting your current place. No one's money comes from the wind. Let's be clear about the money so that we can get along for a long time."
Lin Qingping certainly didn't care about the rent, but what he said made sense.
However, they ate together. Gu Youlian also said, "You and Chengzi are rarely at home. Why should Sister Zhao and Zhiyuan cook separately? Let's eat together and settle the food expenses."
Lin Qingping thought that was fine.
In short, let’s be frank, settle the accounts clearly, and keep friendship as friendship. This is the way to get along for the long term.
That night, Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng still had dinner next door. As usual, Lin Qingping followed the instructions of her mother-in-law and eldest sister and made a pot of nourishing soup.
She was still worried. Gu Juncheng was going back to school tomorrow. What should she do with the soup? Could she send it to him?
After dinner, Zhiyuan wanted to stay and play. Lin Qingping planned to pack Gu Juncheng’s things for returning to school, so she and Gu Juncheng went back next door first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, Gu Juncheng picked her up.
"Gu Juncheng! What are you doing? I'm still packing my things!" Lin Qingping was startled and quickly hugged his neck.
Gu Juncheng didn't say a word and carried her to the bedroom.
Since the day his parents came to the capital, Lin Qingping had used various excuses such as being tired, busy, and sleepy to reject him time and time again. Plus, she was having her menstrual period, so he hardly touched her during this winter vacation. The key point was that he was still drinking tonic soup day after day, and if he didn't release himself, he suspected he was going to explode!
Winter vacation will end tomorrow, and even if the king of heaven comes today, he will get her!
"Gu Juncheng..." Lin Qingping refused out of habit, but someone didn't let her say the words of refusal.
The long-lost passion quickly ignited in her.
She felt that apart from the tonic soup, Gu Juncheng would not have time to take medicine today, and could not help but ask him between breaths, "Gu Juncheng, can you do it today..."
She touched it with her hand, feeling a little scared, and quickly stopped talking.
It seems that my mother-in-law's tonic soup is indeed effective...
However, this sentence angered someone...
