Chapter 222: Relieving Mother's Worries
It was past seven o'clock in the evening.
In front of the row of stores outside the cotton mill community, there are a circle of small stools at the door of each house, and on summer evenings, the residents of the community after eating are used to coming out to enjoy the cool chatting, and everyone can talk until more than nine o'clock, or even eleven o'clock.
Li Qin sat outside the door of Gong's sister-in-law's shop, chatting with the neighbors, and asked everyone to help inquire about where she could learn to make fast food such as roast cakes and meat, meat buns, and flatbread and eggs.
When the neighbors heard her words, they couldn't help but be happy, and said with surprise and envy:
"Li Qin, what are you doing here?
"That is, your son is now a rich man and the boss of a big business in the capital, don't embarrass your child, and stop collecting scrap. ”
"I said a long time ago, you should go to the capital to help Wen Shuo, even if we don't understand anything, it's our own mother, and I won't look at those people in the store, don't let them destroy, don't let them steal the money in the store. ”
"Let Wen Shuo buy you a big villa in the capital, learn from the people on TV every day, every day, just go out shopping to buy clothes, fitness and beauty, catch up with Wen Shuo's holiday, let him take you everywhere to travel...... In the future, when Wen Shuo marries a daughter-in-law and gives birth to a baby, you will take care of the children for others, which is better than hiring a nanny, isn't it?"
......
Li Qin couldn't cry or laugh.
My son talked to her this afternoon, hoping that she would go to the capital, and had rented a small store for her next to the Internet café, hired two people, and specialized in fast food, which did not need to be too complicated, just simple baked cakes with meat, meat sandwiches, egg scones, flatbread rolls with eggs, pancake rolls with meat, xiao long bao and other fast food, and by the way, sell some drinks, mineral water, and cigarettes.
As the business of Internet cafes is getting better and better, Wen Shuo has discovered a phenomenon that many customers do not want to leave the computer during meal time in order to save time on the Internet, but eat bread, ham sausage, and drink some drinks and mineral water while playing to make do with the past. Sometimes I go on the Internet and ask the staff of the Internet café to help me buy food and drink.
Because of this, behind the cash registers of the three branches of Shuoyuan Internet Cafe, there are drinks and mineral water and cigarettes that are easy to sell.
And in Wen Shuo's opinion, this is not enough!
If you make a business out of these small and small businesses, you can definitely make money.
Therefore, after he came back this time, he discussed with his mother to hire two people who can cook that kind of simple, delicious and inexpensive fast food in Dongyun, to open a store in the capital, guard three Internet cafes, and send them directly to them if there is something that customers need.
Moreover, the South Street business district, separated by a wall on the north side of the street, is the dormitory area of Jingcheng University, this kind of fast food business is definitely worth doing, and it will not be worse than the business of those restaurants on South Street!
This is a good idea, of course Li Qin is willing to go to the capital to guard her son, but she doesn't want to be a shopkeeper and hire employees - she is only forty years old, and she is still young.
If you can do it yourself, why spend money to hire someone?
Outside the gate of the Xianrenqiao Farmers' Market, there are a few people who often push the three wheels to sell this kind of fast food, but Li Qin also knows that if she finds someone to learn, they may not be willing to teach, after all, they are all wary of her to steal business.
After listening to Li Qin's explanation, the neighbors understood, and they became more and more emotional and envious:
"Xiao Shuo is also a piece of filial piety, I don't want you to collect waste at home and suffer hardship, you, according to Xiao Shuo's meaning, hire two people. ”
"If you don't say that you are blessed, my son thinks about you everywhere, for fear that you will not be happy to go to the capital, and I will open a store for you, you say, the place in the capital is expensive, how much does it cost to open a store......?"
"Isn't it, I've opened a big company and three Internet cafes! Well, it's only been a little over a year, right? Tell me ......?"
"That's amazing!"
"Shuo, if you go to the capital to open a shop and hire someone, how much will you pay? My daughter is at her mother-in-law's house, helping to sell breakfast, and she suffers every day, but she has learned all those crafts, or let my daughter go?"
"What, what about that mother-in-law's breakfast stall? Besides, the children and men are all left at home, don't worry? Hey, my sister's daughter, idle at home, if you can make up your mind, Ming'er will let her go to her aunt to learn the craft......"
"My son is a chef!"
......
When Wen Shuo returned home, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
Even if he drank too much, he couldn't stand the complete indulgence after drinking with a group of brothers, dizzy and dizzy, and when he got home, he took a cold shower to sober up, poured a glass of cold white water, and sat on the sofa in the living room to sober up.
Originally, I was still thinking about sleeping with my brothers in a squeezed sleep at the scrap yard, anyway, it was summer, and there were a few beds, sofas, and mats on the floor, and people could sleep anywhere.
He also wanted to experience this kind of indulgent life.
But considering that I haven't been home for a long time, I spent the night outside on the first day...... It's not like that.
After a while, Wen Shuo was about to go to sleep, his mother came out of the bedroom, frowned and sat down with some worry, holding a fan in her hand.
"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" Wen Shuo said in surprise.
"I can't sleep, I heard that you went home, and I didn't go to sleep after taking a shower, so I came out to talk to you about things. Li Qin sighed and said, "After dinner, I went outside to chat with the neighbors, talking about opening a shop, thinking that they could help me find a place to learn some crafts, after all, ...... Although Mom can cook, she still can't really make those fast food that can be sold, it doesn't taste good, and it's not good to smash your signboard. ”
Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I didn't say let you do it, let's hire someone!"
Li Qin glared at his son and said, "Such an expensive rent, how much do you have to sell in a day, so you can afford to hire someone?"
"Mom......" Wen Shuo couldn't cry and laugh, and folded his fingers to calculate a simple account for his mother: "The rent is two thousand and a half a month, plus various expenses such as water and electricity, and you have to earn at least 100 yuan a day to return to the capital. You have to know that the purpose of our hiring is to sell more steamed buns and pancakes and meat, to make more money, counting on yourself, you can save money, but you yourself are tired, and you make too much money, think about it......"
Li Qin was stunned, pondered carefully for a long time before he suddenly realized, nodded, and said uneasily: "Then, the money in the capital is so easy to earn?"
"It's not easy to make money anywhere, the key is to see how we do it. Wen Shuo smiled.
"Well, my son is capable!" Li Qin said proudly: "Since you think of a way, you will definitely be able to make money." Hey, by the way, when I was chatting with my neighbors at night, I heard that our family was going to open a store in the capital, and several neighbors wanted to introduce their people to work in our store. ”
Wen Shuo frowned slightly, and after a little thought, he said, "Mom, I was negligent in this matter and didn't make it clear to you...... If you find someone to work in our store in the capital, you have to say ugly things in front, and the salary can be given more, but you must work hard, otherwise, don't say that we will fire people without mercy, right?"
"Oops. Li Qin suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "This, it's really a worrying thing, for example, the daughter of the old Chen family, I really invited her, but she didn't work well, or she didn't work hard for a few days, she missed the children and her own fathers, we can't help but let people go home to see the children, right?" Moreover, she didn't do a good job in the store, and we couldn't talk too seriously, otherwise the neighbors at home would know about it, and they would poke our backbones as soon as they could, and we would be the same if we had money...... Alas, my mother regrets it now, she shouldn't have told them, it's okay now, you can't do it without these neighbors, everyone opens their mouths and takes the initiative to come to work, this ......"
Wen Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Mom, you don't care about this matter, whoever asks will say that I talked to you, the store we opened in the capital, the salary is high, but the requirements are also high, and if you don't do it well, you will be fired!"
"This, how can you be embarrassed to say this?" Li Qin was embarrassed.
"It's okay, just let them find me. Wen Shuo said with a smile: "The neighbors should understand me, there is one thing to say, let's talk about the ugly things in front, just do it, if there is really any problem in the future, I can't complain about us." ”
"But ......"
"Mom!" Wen Shuo said seriously: "I want to find our locals for the purpose of reassuring, and second, I can usually talk to you for a while." Otherwise, I can recruit people by posting advertisements in the capital, right? As for the question you are worried about, I also thought about it just now, in fact, we don't need to consider the eyes of others, just have a clear conscience. ”
Li Qin sighed and said, "Mom understands what you mean, but Mom is just worried...... In the future, you will always marry a daughter-in-law, and the woman's family will come to our neighborhood to inquire, and the neighbors will say bad things about us, which is ......."
Wen Shuo couldn't help laughing: "Mom, I don't plan to come back to marry my daughter-in-law, besides, I married my daughter-in-law and I also talked about a good relationship and got to know each other.
Li Qin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, if they come again, I'll let them talk to you, okay?"
"No problem!" Wen Shuo agreed dryly.
