Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"Exactly!" Qin Huairu said, "Do it again tomorrow!"

In this way, Qin Huairu lowered the restaurant's food standards from top-notch to ordinary.

Of course, we dared not go any lower.

For the first few days, the net profit remained high.

After all, costs are saved, but with sales revenue remaining the same, profits will definitely increase.

However, after about a month, Qin Huairu realized something was wrong.

The dishes have been downgraded from premium to ordinary.

After a month, the profit returned to its original level: 1.5 yuan per day.

"How could this be?"

Qin Huairu panicked: "Why are there fewer and fewer people eating?"

"Could it be that we changed the main materials?" He Yuzhu raised some concerns.

Qin Huairu said, "Impossible. If it were a different company, business would have been bad long ago... How could it only be bad now?"

"Maybe...it's the off-season!"

This matter did not receive enough attention from them.

Keep coming!

One month, two months!

Business has been slow to pick up, and the profit margin has dropped from one hundred to around eighty.

Just then, before Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu had figured out what to do, good news reached the Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi has been released from prison.

Her sentence has expired.

Chapter 185 Jia Zhangshi's Divine Operation of Selling a Chicken Two Ways

Jia Zhangshi intentionally damaged private property, and the amount involved was exceptionally large.

He was sentenced to three years in prison.

The problem is that Jia Zhangshi only spent three months inside, and she was already seventy years old.

So he was released after three months.

It's not that the sentence is only three months.

Instead, it will not be implemented for the remaining two years.

However, while outside, they still had to report to a designated place every week to report on their work and behavior, as well as whether they had committed any further crimes.

If there are any further violations, then regardless of whether you are seventy years old or not, you will be immediately arrested again.

"Wow……"

Upon seeing her home, Jia Zhangshi immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

This isn't a tantrum.

The days inside were just too unbearable. Finally being able to come out and see my home was an indescribable happiness.

"Mother!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua also started crying.

The neighbors in the courtyard all gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"Grandma... get up!" Xiao Dang said, pulling Jia Zhangshi along while showing off to the neighbors who had come to watch the drama unfold. "Our restaurant is open now, don't worry, we're rich now!"

29

"I can earn about a hundred yuan a day, and in the past two months, I've already earned more than ten thousand yuan!"

"From now on, if anyone dares to look down on our Jia family, I'll gouge their eyes out!"

Xiao Dang's sharp gaze swept over the crowd.

Although, the people in this compound don't like the Jia family.

But when Xiao Dang said that, no one could refute it.

Earning 100 yuan a day is like a dream for most people. To put it bluntly, in later generations, it would be equivalent to earning the wages of two ordinary workers a day, making over 10,000 yuan a day and three million yuan a year.

That's the concept.

However, not everyone indulges them.

Liu Aiguo is different.

"Wow... Xiao Dang, you guys make so much money? Really?" Liu Aiguo looked at Xiao Dang with feigned surprise.

Xiao Dang said, "Of course it's true! My mom has all the money saved up!"

"Ah!" Liu Aiguo looked at Qin Huairu: "Business is so good, you have more than ten thousand?"

Qin Huairu, having endured years of repression, genuinely needed to release her emotions, so without a second thought, she nodded and said, "Yes, I never imagined our Jia family would have such a day, did I?"

"That's good!" Liu Aiguo held out his hand to Qin Huairu: "Since you have the money, pay me back first. Don't forget you still owe me more than 30,000!"

Ah this...

The Jia family was dumbfounded.

I owe you money?

Oh……

Holy crap, I really did forget about that!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The neighbors all breathed a sigh of relief and burst into laughter.

Qin Huairu's face was extremely ugly.

Will you give it to me?

If you don't give it to them, you owe them money, and it's not like you don't have any at home. That doesn't make sense.

Give it to me!

It really breaks my heart!

"No...no!" Jia Zhangshi jumped up from the ground like a madwoman, saying, "We work so hard to earn this money, why should we give it to you?"

"Liu Aiguo, do you have any conscience at all?"

"I have no conscience?" Liu Aiguo said, "When you smashed my car, did your conscience get eaten by a dog? You still have the nerve to ask me if I have a conscience?"

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Just one question: Will you give it to me or not?"

“If you don’t give it to me, go to the police station, have a chat with Chief Zhao, and tell him that someone is deliberately owing money and not paying it back.”

"If you go back in, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Jia Zhangshi chickened out; she took three steps back and didn't say a word.

He just stared at Liu Aiguo with hateful triangular eyes.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said, "Here, I'll give you ten thousand first!"

“Okay!” Liu Aiguo said, “Give me ten thousand first, and since your business is good, you can give me two thousand every month after that!”

Liu Aiguo left without any hesitation, taking the 10,000 yuan with him.

The Jia family members were so angry they were spitting blood.

"Slap..." Qin Huairu slapped Xiao Dang hard across the face: "I'll teach you to show off... Okay, now you've lost your money, and you won't get any money every month from now on!"

"Waaaaah..." Xiao Dang burst into tears.

"Alright, alright!" He Yuzhu said, "Paying off the debt will put my mind at ease. We'll have to pay it back sooner or later anyway. Let's try to pay off the Aiguo money this year. We're quick to make money anyway."

"Let's go, let's go to work!"

After tidying herself up a bit, Jia Zhangshi went to work with He Yuzhu.

Restaurants are doing worse business now than before.

There was no longer a queue.

However, with chef He Yuzhu around, the situation was managed to stay stable.

At least during mealtimes, the restaurant is always packed, it's just that the table turnover rate is a bit low.

"mom……"

Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhangshi, "From now on, you can help out at the shop. You can wash dishes, wipe tables, sweep the floor, and so on. You'll be mainly responsible for hygiene!"

"it is good!"

Jia Zhangshi readily agreed; although she lacked moral character, she was still capable of doing the work.
