Chapter 294 Pay the rent too
With the help of Su Tai's shouting, the shop was packed with people, and the aroma spread far away, attracting more people to buy the buns. The buns just out of the pot were sold out quickly, and some customers stood at the door waiting for the next basket to come out of the pot.
The customers waiting at the door aroused the curiosity of more people, and with the publicity from some people who had eaten the buns, more people gathered around.
Making buns, steaming buns, selling buns, collecting money, and clearing the dishes from the table, these tasks keep them busy like a spinning top.
Finally, when all the buns were sold out, there were still customers who had heard the news and hadn't bought any. They strongly requested Su Ping to steam more buns tomorrow, otherwise they were worried that they wouldn't be able to buy any again.
Some customers also requested them to prepare some soups such as porridge, saying that eating only buns in the morning would be too dry and they needed to drink something thin and hot to go with it.
Su Ping and the others smiled widely and agreed loudly.
After they packed up the bun shop and dragged their tired bodies back to the courtyard, although they were physically tired, they were extremely excited mentally and felt tired but happy.
After they counted the money they earned today, after deducting the cost of materials and operating costs, they actually made 12 yuan, which made them even more excited. "If the business can be this stable every day, we will have no problem gaining a foothold in Beijing."
"It's more than just getting a foothold. As long as this kind of business continues, I'll be able to save enough money to buy a house soon!" Li Yue said with a smile on her face as she expressed her dream.
"We just opened today, and many people still don't know about our steamed bun shop," Wang Ye said her thoughts, "After a few days, the neighbors will know about our steamed bun shop, and more people will come to buy. Then we can make more money, and save money faster!"
"In order to make more money, we have to meet the needs of customers," Su Ping said with a smile, "Let's go buy a pot this afternoon and cook a big pot of porridge tomorrow morning. Put more rice and peanuts in it. It will be thick and fragrant. I'm sure some people will like it. Then we can sell it together with the buns."
"Okay, let's go buy it this afternoon." Upon hearing this, Li Yue grabbed Wang Ye's hand and nodded heavily.
"But can you guys handle it if you do this?" Su Yunyun felt a little worried after hearing this. How could they handle it if they were selling both buns and porridge?
"Don't worry, leave Xiaoliang to your father in the morning, and I will go to the store to help." Su's mother was full of energy.
"Let's go and help in the mornings before school starts." Zhongguo, Jingguo, Suhao and Sumei also raised their hands and asked to participate.
"No, this will affect your studies!" Li Yue refused without any explanation.
"Don't worry, Mom, it won't happen," Zhongguo assured Li Yue, "If it affects our studies, we will definitely not go there again."
"But..." Li Yue felt relieved when she saw that Zhongguo was very confident and assured that it would not affect his studies, but she was still a little conflicted.
"Sister-in-law, let's arrange it this way in the early stage," Su Yunyun directly suggested, "When the business stabilizes later, we will indeed be short of manpower, so we can recruit people and ask the street office for help. We can arrange one or two people who are quick and clean. This way, we can handle the business no matter how busy it is."
"Okay!" Li Yue thought this was the best way to do it after hearing Su Yunyun's suggestion. After all, the premise of hiring people is good business. Since the business is good, she naturally doesn't mind spending more money to hire people to help. Besides, arranging recruitment through the street office can also ensure that the character of the hired people can stand the test!
When they rested at night, Su Kang and Wang Cuilan lay in bed and felt a little worried. "Su Kang, we both go to college. Our parents will help take care of Aiguo and Xiaoliang. My sister-in-law and her family will occasionally lend a hand. Although we now have a steamed bun shop as a source of income to support our living expenses, I think we have to give some living expenses to our family every month, otherwise it will not be justified."
"You're right," Su Kang heard this and sat up carefully from the bed, tucked in the quilt for Xiaoliang who was sleeping in the middle, and then put on his cotton-padded jacket. "Although my parents and sister-in-law don't care, our family has not split up, and Aiguo and Xiaoliang can't eat much, but we have to come back every week, so if we save up, we will have a lot of expenses every month, so we can't take advantage of it. We must pay some living expenses to our family."
"But you and I are both going to college, and we only have the monthly allowance from the school, and no other source of income," Wang Cuilan was very worried. "Plus, my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law said today that now that the steamed bun shop makes money, they will save it to buy a house. What should we do? When can we buy a house? "
Su Kang felt a little depressed when he heard this. He couldn't just skimp on his monthly living allowance and save the money for living expenses just to save money!
To take a step back, even if he could save some, it wouldn't be much, and it might even cause him and Wang Cuilan to not have enough to eat, which would lead to poor health, which would not be worth it!
Su Kang looked up at the house and thought that it was even more unrealistic to buy a house by saving money.
Suddenly he saw the newspaper on the table. This was the newspaper they had bought to keep up with the country's policy trends. There were also some articles on it praising the motherland and describing the wonderful life now!
article?
Su Kang's eyes lit up, "Cui Lan, we both have decent writing skills. In our spare time at school, why don't we write articles and submit them to newspapers or magazines to earn royalties and save some money?"
Wang Cuilan was also very excited after hearing this, but she was still a little unsure, "Okay, but can we write an article together?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Su Kang was full of confidence. "We've been reading newspapers a lot these days, and we both know how to write those articles. Besides, there are still three days before school starts. After we finish helping out at the steamed bun shop tomorrow, we can write a draft first, and then you and I can help each other correct it, and try to send it out before school starts. Is that okay?"
"Well, let's give it a try!" Wang Cuilan felt relieved when she heard Su Kang's suggestion. After all, there were people helping her, so what was there to be afraid of!
Besides, there is no loss. Even if it fails, the most they will lose is the money for two stamps, which they can still afford!
Su Kang made up his mind and put his cotton-padded jacket on the quilt. He lay down in the bed again and hugged Xiao Liang. "For our son and daughter, let's work hard together!"
After a while, a light snoring sound was heard in the room.
On the other side, Su Tai, who was sleeping in the bed, was a little heartless. He didn't realize at all how he was going to save money to buy a house. But that was because he was not married yet and didn't even have a partner, so his desire for a house was not as strong as his three brothers.
Now there was only one thing on his mind. Su Ping found him after dinner and arranged for him to inquire about the rent prices in the surrounding area tomorrow.
Because next, Su Ping and his friends would be busy with the steamed bun shop business. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would have to report to the university, and they would have no time to inquire about the rent of a house. However, they had mentioned before that they lived in this courtyard and rented it, so they had to pay the corresponding rent to Su Yunyun.
So Su Ping, who had always kept this matter in mind, saw that Su Tai had more free time, so he arranged for Su Tai to do this.
So Su Tai lay in bed thinking, after finding out how much the rent was, should he also pay the rent?
