Zhong Bingyuan pouted. “It’s so warm! I’m wearing a woolen sweater and a vest inside, and I’ve even put on the quilted jacket, but Older Sister is still worried I’d be cold and went to buy me a big quilted jacket. I’m turning into a bear!”
She looked exactly like a bear!
In weather like that, Gu Qingyao was only wearing a jacket, but Zhong Bingyuan was ready for winter.
Her large quilted jacket was new and looked quite nice. Judging from the material, it was probably quite expensive.
Of course, the price was relative to Chen Qingqing’s standard of living. The quilted jacket probably cost about 10 yuan.
Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing were very willing to spend on Zhong Bingyuan.
Gu Qingyao patted her head. “This is still a special time for you. You certainly must not fall ill now. You must take some precautions. In a few days, you won’t have to be so careful.”
Zhong Bingyuan understood her situation, she was just feeling a little rueful. Although she felt hot, she still sat there obediently.
Gu Qingyao spoke to her for a while, then went to help Chen Qingqing. Their business was much better now, and the two of them could barely cope.
Noodles with shredded meat was a very simple dish, and there was nothing particularly attractive about it. The only thing to do was to focus on flavor. They needed to build a customer base, and once word got out, their business would improve.
When she saw Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing, who were flushed and busy, she understood.
She helped them all morning, and they closed the stall once they sold out. Gu Qingyao took the opportunity to visit their home. Chen Feng told his younger sisters to take Gu Qingyao’s car while he pulled the cart back.
When they got home, Chen Qingqing hurried to serve Gu Qingyao some tea. This time, there were tea leaves and fairly good ones too.
Gu Qingyao chuckled and Chen Qingqing smiled too. She said rather shamefacedly, “I specially went to buy these. Older Sister Gu, surely we can’t be lacking tea leaves every time you visit!”
“How has business been?” Gu Qingyao asked.
This subject excited Chen Qingqing. “Business is good, very good. My brother and I go once in the morning and once in the evening. We sell approximately four hundred to five hundred portions every day and we sell dozens of yuan. The most we’ve made was a little more than two hundred yuan. Once we minus our costs, we can make more than one hundred yuan every day. Older Sister Gu, thank you very much!”
More than 100 yuan every day!
In the past, Chen Qingqing would never have dared to dream of this.
“Oh, Older Sister Gu, please wait!”
Chen Qingqing hurried into the room and after a while, she handed Gu Qingyao a wad of notes. “Older Sister Gu, this is one thousand yuan. The last time you gave me five thousand yuan and bought so many things for us, and then you paid for Yuan Yuan’s medical bills too. My older brother and I were about to visit you over the next few days! But now that you’re here, we can give this to you!”
Gu Qingyao glanced at it and smiled. “How long has your stall been open? If you minus the costs and your own living expenses, will you have enough money if you give me one thousand yuan like that?”
“We will, we will!” Chen Qingqing said with certainty. “Older Sister Gu, don’t worry. I’ve set some money aside. You’ve helped us so much. If we don’t return the money to you, my older brother and I won’t be able to sleep soundly at night. Yuan Yuan is much better now and can be discharged. We’ll set up our stall every day, and we’ll have an income. It’s enough for us to live on.
“Oh, also now we buy in bulk every day, be it flour to make noodles, pork, or pork bones and things like that. Since we buy in bulk and we buy every day, they give us a good discount, so that reduces our cost by quite a bit!”
