Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Xiao Dang and Huaihua shouted loudly to greet customers at the store entrance.

Of the many people walking along the street, there are always two or three who enter the shop.

Firstly, He Yuzhu's cooking at this restaurant is truly exceptional.

authentic!

Authentic Sichuan cuisine, authentic Huaiyang cuisine.

On the other hand, it's because of two things: locust flowers and small dang.

Although she's a bit older, in her twenties, she's definitely a striking sight standing at the door.

Regardless of their character, their looks alone are enough to attract a large number of people.

Behind Xiao Dang and Huaihua.

A tall sign: Jia's Restaurant.

The name is, to be honest, a bit awkward.

It was not named after Qin Huairu or He Yuzhu, but after the surname of the Jia family.

But He Yuzhu didn't care about all that!

Across a wide street, not far from Jiaji Restaurant on Hongxing Road, there is another restaurant.

Do not……

It should be said that it is a hotel.

The name is also quite sophisticated and elegant: [Lou's Restaurant]

Lou's Restaurant not only occupies a large area, but it is also very grand. The entire six-story building was booked out. The first and second floors are for dining, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are for accommodation. The decoration is extremely luxurious.

Moreover, there is a large courtyard of 600 square meters in front of the small building.

The courtyard was kept very clean, with decorated pavilions and towers, and a dedicated parking area.

In a sense, the environment and level of luxury here are absolutely no less than those grand hotels in Beijing that entertain foreign guests.

This belongs to Lou Xiao'e and Director Lou.

Director Lou funded the establishment, and Lou Xiao'e managed it.

Their goal was simple: to build up popularity with this restaurant and then open hotels in major cities across the country once the brand was established.

At this time of year, hotels are guaranteed to make a profit.

Just across the street, Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu's restaurant and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

That's right!

Their business was nowhere near as good as He Yuzhu's.

This restaurant is fully equipped, including all major cuisines, and the staff are proficient in them.

The problem is, there's no one there.

On the contrary, He Yuzhu's small restaurant was constantly being patronized.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lou Xiao'e said to her father with a hint of sourness, "Dad... how good can He Yuzhu's food be? Why is their business so good? We don't even have anyone here?"

Director Lou shook his head: "His cooking is very authentic. I had someone buy some to try!"

"But our head chef is no less capable than him!"

"I reckon!" Director Lou glanced at his small courtyard and building and said calmly, "They're probably intimidated by the scale of our operation here. No rush, what's the big deal in business?"

"Be patient. We've bought the building and the yard, and we don't need to pay rent. As long as we can keep the chefs' salaries, nothing else matters. Let's take it slow!"

"Okay. I understand, Dad!"

……

The restaurant closes at night.

He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua gathered together to check the harvest.

Check the accounts and calculate the profit.

"This……"

Qin Huairu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Eighty... I actually earned eighty today!"

"Really?"

Xiao Dang and Huaihua also looked incredulous.

"Mom... that's eighty yuan a day, that's more than two thousand yuan a month!"

"We'll pay off our debts soon!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this is incredibly profitable!"

"That damned Boss Xu, he makes so much money, yet he still withholds our wages!"

Xiao Dang then remembered Boss Xu from before.

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Eighty isn't much. Don't forget about our family's wages... We'll have to be paid forty a day, so we'll earn forty!"

"I don't care, I'm making money anyway!" Xiao Dang's face lit up with a happy smile.

He Yuzhu said, "This is just the beginning. Business will only get better and better. Making money is just the beginning!"

“Yes!” Qin Huairu said, “Let’s do business properly, and when Banggeng comes out, we can set up a business for him!”

"That's right!"

He Yuzhu happily took a sip of wine, then said with a smirk, "Sister, give me two coins, I'll go buy a cigarette!"

"Get lost!" Qin Huairu glanced at He Yuzhu, then fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes: "I prepared this for you a long time ago, go ahead and smoke!"

He Yuzhu laughed heartily, as if he had received an incomparably precious reward!

Day two!

Early in the morning!

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu went to buy vegetables.

Because they didn't have to work in the morning, Xiaodang and Huaihua got up a little later.

The restaurant usually only opens at noon, so as long as you arrive before 11 a.m., there shouldn't be any problems.

"Yo!"

As soon as she got up, Xiao Dang saw Lou Xiao'e. Upon seeing Lou Xiao'e, she immediately smiled and began to mock her: "Aunt Lou... good morning, how's business over there?"

Lou Xiao'e's face darkened at this question.

how about it?

I don't have any business at all.

"Hehehe..." Lou Xiao'e laughed and said, "It's alright!"

"and!"

Xiao Dang said, "Stop pretending... I'm watching closely, not a single person has come in all day, how can you have any business!"

Do you know how much money we made yesterday?

"Eighty!" Xiao Dang held up his hand and gestured: "Eighty a day... that's more than a TV factory worker's monthly salary!"

This revelation shocked the neighbors in the compound.

After all, although living conditions are much better than before, earning eighty yuan a day is still quite extravagant.

"So many?" Uncle San and Aunt San exclaimed in surprise.

Especially Auntie San: "Your shop has only been open for a few days... Jie Cheng's shop has been open for over a year, and (Good Wang, good) it doesn't even make eighty yuan in net profit every day!"

Of course, Auntie San is referring to net profit.

Yan Jiecheng is a hired hand, so he certainly doesn't make a net profit of eighty yuan a day.

Xiao Dang said, "Really... We've been earning more every day these past few days. Before long, we might be earning one or two hundred a day. Hehehe... Aunt San, some people didn't think much of our family back then and went around making sarcastic remarks behind our backs!"

"Tell me, aren't these people ashamed now?"

Xiao Dang's words were quite ruthless.

At this exit, countless neighbors lowered their heads.

That's right!

Many people laughed at their family back then.

Although the Jia family is full of thieves and has bad character.

But when it comes to making money, these people really can't compare.

Even Lou Xiao'e was so angry that her face turned black.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Dang and Huaihua were extremely smug.
