Chapter 602: Business
It didn’t take long for Zhou Kai and the others to attend to school. Aunt Ma came over. They didn’t go to open a dumpling shop today because they planned to change hands and return it to Zhou Qing Bai.
Zhou Qing Bai took over. After all, he had said it before, just temporarily lending it her to run.
“How is the business this year?” Lin Qing He merrily asked Aunt Ma.
“It’s really good.” Aunt Ma said with a blooming smile on her face.
Needless to say, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai knew how the dumpling shop business was. There was no need to hide.
After borrowing the dumpling shop for more than half a year, Aunt Ma made a fortune with her daughter-in-law, Huang Xiao Liu. A few hundred yuan income each month was a definite.
“That’s good.” Lin Qing He nodded.
However, because she had tasted the sweetness of doing business, Aunt Ma wanted to take her daughter-in-law out and open one. She was felt embarrassed about that.
After listening to her, Lin Qing He expressed that she didn’t mind: “Auntie, if you want to do it, then do it. It’s okay.”
Anyone who saw the profit of doing business would be moved. Aunt Ma wanted to open a shop by herself, so she needed to hire another dishwasher here. This was easy.
“Alright then. I will definitely set the shop further away.” Aunt Ma nodded and stated.
Lin Qing He didn’t say anything.
Aunt Ma took Huang Xiao Liu back home. Then Lin Qing He spoke, “I don’t know if Ma Cheng Min will resign and go alone.”
Zhou Qing Bai responded, “Call him over and ask.”
Lin Qing He went to call Ma Cheng Min. Ma Cheng Min shook his head: “As long as you don’t dismiss me, I plan to keep doing this.”
He liked a stable life, not a life full of uncertainty.
Lin Qing He paid him a high salary, which was enough for his family to live a good life and have a small savings.
At Ma Cheng Min’s age, he just wanted to stability.
About his mom wanting to open a dumpling shop with his wife, Ma Cheng Min didn’t stop them. It was only his mom and his wife running a dumpling shop. He wanted to keep his stable income so that there will be no worries no matter what the family’s situation would become.
“In this case, there is no problem. I will raise your salary to one hundred next year. You should work hard.” Lin Qing He told.
Ma Cheng Min merrily acknowledged. As for other people’s wages, Lin Qing He didn’t plan to increase it. Wait until the following year.
A rise in two years.
After Ma Cheng Min left, Lin Qing He started to settle this year’s accounts. But halfway through, her little girl woke up. Zhou Qing Bai went to change the diaper and wash her bottom. Only when she was clean up, did he carry over their hungry girl who was about to cry.
Lin Qing He helplessly carried the troublesome little girl inside to feed.
Zhou Qing Bai began to look through this year’s ledgers. Carefully examining each one line even though his son generally didn’t make mistakes.
Lin Qing He brought out this little girl after the feeding session and put her next to Zhou Qing Bai. She let her lie down by herself.
“I’m going to school.” Lin Qing He said.
“Okay.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded. He wanted to stay at home and continue to look at the account book as he mind his daughter.
As for the dumpling shop, it was temporarily closed today. It will remain closed until he adapts to life her. Then he’ll decide on the opening.
Because there was a baby at home, Lin Qing He didn’t stay out for too long. The trip took about an hour. When she came back, she brought a lot of books back, all of which needed to be translated.
“So much?” Zhou Qing Bai was mostly done with his check. He glanced at the stack of books and blurted.
“To save me the trip of going there often, I brought these back. Making one trip each month is enough.” Lin Qing He replied, “From tomorrow, you can open your dumpling shop.”
“Okay.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded. Still, he went to get a sign and wrote out the business hours.
Open from 6:30 in the morning to 9 in the morning, then from 11:30 to 2:00, and from 4:30 to 7:30.
Adding it up, it is open for eight hours a day.
Lin Qing He took a look and didn’t think there was any problem. Eight hours a day wasn’t short. She said: “As for the dishwashing, ask the temporary worker from before. Her work attitude is very serious and cherish this job.”
Zhou Qing Bai spoke: “Wife, watch Mi Mi. I will go out and talk to her.”
Lin Qing He had no objection. Because the business hours were so short now, the salary level wasn’t as high as before. The pay was fifty yuan.
Aunt Ma had worked for many years before getting that salary.
This will gradually increase. Still, fifty yuan wasn’t little. Even during this year of salary reform, there were still jobs with a monthly salary of twenty to thirty yuan.
Relatively speaking, fifty yuan wasn’t a small sum.
Zhou Qing Bai went over. That old Madam Hu agreed at once. She would do it even at 50 yuan!
Originally, the conditions at home were generally poor. She and her partner didn’t have a job. Which often made their two daughter-in-laws, who squeezed together with them, express disdain!
“I open the shop at half past six. Aunt Hu, you can go over at seven,” Zhou Qing Bai told.
“Alright. I keep this in mind.” Old Madam Hu merrily said and sent him out.
Zhou Qing Bai went to make a call and asked his mutton suppliers and pork suppliers about the price. At the end of this year, it had went up by a dime.
Still, Zhou Qing Bai ordered a large quantity. In this weather and a freezer, and it no problem to keep it for a while.
Zhou Qing Bai, who was about to return to work again, was in a very good mood. Even though their family didn’t lack the dumpling shop’s profit, as a person, he needed a mental sustenance.
He didn’t rush home either. Instead, he drove the car around and checked around all the shops under their name.
When he came to the dry good shop, he grabbed two jin of fish gelatin and sea cucumbers. All of these was for his wife to eat.
“Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt likes to eat sweet potatoes. I picked them from the market in the morning. They are fragrant and sweet. Fourth Aunt will definitely like them. Take some back.” Zhou San Ni carried a bag of sweet potatoes over and spoke.
“Okay.” Zhou Qing Bai didn’t refuse his niece’s kindness. He accepted it and asked: “I just went to see the other shops. When I passed by, I saw you that you rented out your shop?”
“Yes. Don’t want to do business for the time being. Just putting it on hold.” Zhou San Ni responded.
Zhou Qing Bai nodded. Anyway, they bought the shop. It was fine to open it later.
When he came back, his little girl hadn’t woken up yet. Lin Qing He had already dug into the translation work.
“Wife, do you want to go for a walk?” Zhou Qing Bai asked.
“Of course.” Lin Qing He amusedly gave him an eye roll. Now they came back, they had to go for a walk no matter what.
However, right now couldn’t do. Have to wait for little Mi Mi to wake up and feed her before going out. That way their mind won’t always a niggling feeling of unease.
“Is everything done?” Lin Qing He asked.
“En.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded. It wasn’t a big deal.
