Chapter 371: Officially opened
Whether it was the washing machine or the freezers, they weren’t taken out immediately after they got back.
However, the couple did explain that they went to Hai City to buy chest freezers and they would be delivered over later.
“Chest freezer? What is that?” Zhou Xiao Mei asked when she joined Zhou Xiao Mei to the bathhouse.
“Similar to a refrigerator, but it freezes things better than a refrigerator,” Lin Qing He replied.
“I also want to buy one for the bun shop.” Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.
If there was no refrigerator in the bun shop, it was very troublesome. If there was, it will save a lot of effort.
She and Su Da Lin had gne to the big shopping mall and asked about it. A refrigerator cost more than 500 yuan. Simply too expensive.
Especially this year. The two of them plan to grit their teeth and buy the shop, so they don’t dare to spend money.
“The bun shop does need one.” Lin Qing He nodded, but she also knew their economic situation. She suggested: “Since it’s not far apart just bring over whatever you want to chill and put it in your fourth brother’s shop. Then get it when you need it.”
Zhou Xiao Mei was embarrassed and responded, “That can’t do.”
“Buy one later. It’s important to stabilize the shop situation first,” Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Xiao Mei nodded.
The sisters-in-law blissfully took a bath and then went back.
Lin Qing He’s small workshop and clothing stores all opened. Only the beverage store hadn’t yet. Stiil under renovation.
Still, Zhou Qing Bai had already contacted the supplier.
As a boss, one can leave other things to the employees to do, but in regard to the supply of goods, one must contact them themselves.
Only when the goods are delivered will they be handed over to Ma Cheng Min to track the amount. Zhou Qing Bai will go negotiate if anything happens.
Now, they just got to wait for the decoration of the beverage shop to be completed. Only then they can directly call for delivery and the shop will officially open for business.
For the time being, they won’t sell ice cream and popsicles. Just drinks. Next, take out the freezers to use. Then ice cream and popsicles will be available on the market.
After the new semester officially started, Lin Qing He reverted back to home and work life.
There was a lot going on at the beginning of the semester. Currently, she took four classes, which can be said to be very busy.
It was worth mentioning that her salary this year had also increased a bit. Still, it wasn’t unexpected.
Since the reform and opening up, prices have gradually increased. It went without saying, wages have risen too.
The beverage shop officially opened at the end of January.
It wasn’t until the official opening when Zhou Kai Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai knew that their parents had opened another shop!
“Opened another shop?” Xu Sheng Mei was stunned when she heard of it.
What’s the count now? This was the fourth shop!
“Is there anyone watching this shop yet?” Xu Sheng Mei said hurriedly after regaining herself.
If no one is going to watch it, then get her brother over. This can be justified.
“I don’t know. You have to go ask Aunt.” Zhou Er Ni shook her head.
Xu Sheng Mei didn’t dare to ask Lin Qing He directly. She checked with her uncle first.
Zhou Qing Bai said: “No shortage of people.”
“No shortage? But I heard from Cousin Er Ni that it just opened over there.” Xu Sheng Mei responded.
“Already hired.” Zhou Qing Bai stated.
Xu Sheng Mei pursed her mouth and said, “Uncle, my brother, Sheng Qiang also wants to come here to help out.”
“No shortage of people.” Zhou Qing Bai gave the same answer.
Zhou Xuan, standing at the side, laughed, “Sister Sheng Mei, do you want Cousin Shung Qiang to come over?”
Xu Sheng Mei forcefully put on a grin.
“Cousin Sheng Qiang has a bad temper. If he comes to watch the stop, he might even quarrel with people. When looking for someone to watch the shop, one won’t find Cousin Sheng Qiang’s type.” Zhou Xuan said.
Xu Sheng Mei hurriedly explained: “Sheng Qiang was a little naughty when he was a child. Now he has grown up, he has become more sensible.
“We’ll see in the future. There is no shortage of people now. As soon as the shop started up, Uncle Cheng Min introduced people to my mother.” Zhou Xuan left her some face.
Xu Sheng Mei headed over to her grandparent’s side.
Aunt Ma said after she left, “How about getting Cheng Yang or Cheng Yue to vacate a spot?”
“No need” Zhou Xuan replied: “The two of them are doing a good job. As long as they are willing to keep at it, we won’t push them out no matter how many relatives are. Our family will not engage in that nepotism.
Aunt Ma grinned when she heard this, “I’m afraid that the family members over there will be upset.”
“It’s no problem.” Zhou Xuan only gave this response.
If his aunt over there is unhappy, then so be it. When his family want to do something, do they have to act according to others’ unhappiness?
No such logic.
Zhou Qing Bai didn’t pay much attention to these, but he basically had the thought.
Hire those who were good, not because they were relatives.
Xu Sheng Mei arrived at her grandparent’s place. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou knew that Fourth’s wife had opened another shop.
“This…what does it sell?” Mother Zhou curiously asked.
“Seems to be drinks and ice cream,” Xu Sheng Mei answered.
“Just selling those sour and sweet soda?” Mother Zhou uttered.
“En.” Xu Sheng Mei nodded. She had drunk those drinks before. Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai would buy them and then shared them with everyone.
“That…that’s pretty good.” Mother Zhou didn’t know what to say.
She drank it during the New Year. This drink was so delicious.
But she didn’t expect their family’s store to sell this now. Fourth’s wife was prospering. This was the fourth shop.
“Grandma, two people are hired over there.” Xu Sheng Mei went back on track.
“Since they open the shop, people must be hired.” Mother Zhou didn’t find it strange.
“Grandma, my brother wanted to come this year.” Xu Sheng Mei cared about this.
She felt that since the beverage shop was about to open, they must plan to hire people. However, her brother was rejected. She understood that they didn’t want her brother.
“Didn’t I tell you? Just follow your aunt’s arrangement. Don’t get involved in this area. Would your aunt do things in compliance with your words?” Mother Zhou said to her.
Xu Sheng Mei quickly responded: “Grandma, I didn’t mean that.”
“It’s enough that you didn’t mean that. Go and wash the dishes. Don’t come over and watch TV every day. The electricity bill is expensive.” Mother Zhou spoke: “You can mind Ya Ya and Tian Tian too. I will go to your uncle (Qing Bai)’s place.”
She left her home to her granddaughter’s watch and she came over by herself.
Zhou Qing Bai said when he saw her, “Mother, why are you here? Have you eaten it?”
“I have. I heard that you and your wife have opened a beverage shop.” Mother Zhou mentioned.
“En.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
“Can you handle it all? There are so many shops.” Mother Zhou asked.
“Doable.” Zhou Qing Bai replied.
Although there were many shops, it wasn’t a problem since people were hired to look after them.
