Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

He can accept anything except salary; he cannot accept any other conditions.

Going home once a week?

What a joke.

What should I do about my sister Qin's body? I'm so craving it!

They won't let me bring my family?

What will happen to Sister Qin and the children?

“That… Lou Xiao’e… the children have already promised me… they absolutely…”

Before He Yuzhu could finish speaking, Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "I'm sorry... Mr. He, if you didn't hear what I just said clearly, I can repeat it to you!"

amount……

He Yuzhu is a bit of an idiot!

But he's not really stupid.

He could understand what Lou Xiao'e meant: the other party definitely wouldn't compromise.

"Alright..." He stood up somewhat disappointedly and said, "Then, you guys keep looking, I'll go look for other restaurants!"

I went back to my room.

Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua looked on with anticipation.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No way!"

"Useless!" Upon hearing the word "incompetent," Madam Jia immediately cursed, "You can't even handle this simple matter. I thought Lou Xiao'e was quite easy to talk to... Sha Zhu, what can you do?"

Jia Zhangshi looked at He Yuzhu with obvious disdain.

He Yuzhu was also a little annoyed and said, "It's not that I'm not good enough, they said they could recruit me. But they don't want Xiaodang, Huaihua, or Huairu... What can I do?"

Xiao Dang and Huaihua's faces darkened.

Madam Jia stopped talking and just smashed a bowl on the side.

The sounds of clapping and banging filled the air.

Qin Huairu's face remained expressionless as she said, "You've traveled all over Beijing... If you can't find a job, how are we going to survive after the New Year!"

"With my meager pension, how am I supposed to support all of you?" Qin Huairu asked, her face full of worry.

Xiao Dang said, "They don't want my silly uncle... Let's not beg them anymore. Silly uncle, you have a skill, why can't we open our own shop like Lao Xu!"

"If we open our own restaurant and sell our own food, we can make a lot of money, right?"

Xiao Dang's words were very bold.

However, after these words were spoken, both He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.

Yes……

I'm always thinking about finding someone else.

I can't open a restaurant by myself!

"Silly Zhu..." Qin Huairu asked excitedly, "Do you think... it's feasible?"

He Yuzhu said, "That's great... You know how well I cook... It's absolutely amazing!"

"As long as the food is good, the business will definitely be good!"

"Hehe!" Jia Zhangshi also came out with a smile and said, "Zhu Zi's dishes are definitely no problem. Yes, we'll open a restaurant... right across from the Lou family's house. Let Lou Xiao'e be arrogant, and we'll take over her business!"

Chapter 168 Qin Huairu borrows money, Xiaolong angrily confronts her.

The family's excited gazes, like bright lights in a snowy night, illuminated the future of the Jia family.

This topic energized He Yuzhu like a shot of adrenaline.

He felt he could turn things around and start singing right away.

"There's no one suitable from our family in this compound!" Banggeng said with a smile. "Uncle, you can be the head chef, my mom can be the assistant chef, Xiaodang and Huaihua can handle the cashier and the service, and my grandma can clean up the dishes and do the washing and scrubbing. We won't need to hire anyone!"

"My dear grandson is right!" Madam Jia Zhang beamed with joy: "It's settled then!"

"and!"

Xiao Dang said, "My brother makes it sound nice, but everyone else has something to do. What are you going to do? Are you going to be a boss?"

"What's wrong with being a boss!" Before Banggeng could speak, Jia Zhangshi interjected, "Our precious grandson was born to be a boss!"

As she spoke, she affectionately patted the head of the dog.

Banggeng chuckled: "No, no, no... I'd never be a boss. The boss is definitely Mom, Boss Qin. I'll be the second chef behind Uncle Sha. Uncle Sha, you have to pass on your skills to me, we're family!"

"Absolutely!" He Yuzhu said, "As long as you're willing to learn and follow me, I'll train you to become a master chef sooner or later!"

Everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere at home immediately became lively.

However, the joy was only temporary.

Soon, a serious and daunting problem was presented to him.

Sitting in front of Qin Huairu, Huaihua counted on her fingers and said, "Uncle, Mom... opening a restaurant would probably cost a lot of money, right?"

"Forehead……"

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room froze.

Right!

Opening a restaurant isn't something you can just do whenever you want.

You need to have money, you need to have capital!

“This…” He Yuzhu frowned and said, “We definitely still need to order that book.”

Qin Huairu asked, "How much?"

He Yuzhu said, "First, we need to rent a storefront. Including rent and renovations, it won't be enough without at least five thousand yuan!"

"Secondly... we also need to purchase various equipment!"

"We need a big freezer, and we need pots and pans!"

"All these miscellaneous expenses, plus the cost of obtaining the certificates, will probably amount to three thousand!"

"Even if we open the smallest Sichuan or Hunan restaurant, the cost will still be eight thousand yuan!"

sizzle...

Eight thousand yuan!

Upon hearing this number, everyone gasped in shock.

He Yuzhu pulled out a Daqianmen cigarette and started smoking: "Even if we cut corners in every aspect... it'll still cost six thousand!"

"This is the minimum!"

Six thousand is quite a lot.

Keep in mind that in this era, the average worker only earns fifty or sixty yuan a month.

Six thousand yuan is equivalent to one hundred months' salary for someone else.

We need to solve this problem.

"This line of work has a very high profit margin, reaching 40%. To put it bluntly, we have enough people in our own family, so we don't need to hire anyone. As long as people come to eat, we can make money!" He Yuzhu said.

"Guaranteed profit, no loss!"

"As long as you have the capital, that's all that matters!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly: "No... Sha Zhu, you know that when Bang Geng went in the summer, he smashed the door and had to pay the TV factory more than 10,000 yuan. That's when our family's savings were gone. We've had some money these past few months, but only a little over 1,000 yuan!"

"I'm still 5,000 yuan short of opening a shop."

"The difference is too great!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed.

He Yuzhu said, "It would be great if we could borrow some!"

borrow?

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, who in the entire compound could lend them five thousand yuan?

Xu Damao?

No way, you can forget about lending this guy a single penny.

Uncle Yi?

Uncle Yi and Uncle San both had nothing left when they bought the TV.

Don't even think about it!

Second Uncle?
