Chapter 172 Opening for Business
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was really angry, Xu Qianqian immediately stopped crying, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. At this time, the group had already arrived at the village entrance.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Xu Qianqian who was still sitting in the car and said:
"Get out of the car! Do you expect me to take you home?"
As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, Ning Huaizhi immediately stopped the ox cart and waited for Xu Qianqian to get off.
Seeing this, Xu Qianqian muttered reluctantly:
"I'll be home soon, and it's not too far. Brother Huaizhi, please take me back. I really can't walk anymore."
Ning Huaizhi had been patient all the way but finally couldn't stand Xu Qianqian's pretentious attitude anymore, so he frowned and said:
"My wife tells you to get off the car, so you get off."
Seeing that Ning Huaizhi didn't speak up for her, Xu Qianqian covered her chest with her hands and slapped it, cursing:
"Jiang Yuwei is really something. You've made Brother Huaizhi disown all his relatives. Humph, who wants to ride in your broken ox cart? My bones are almost broken by the bumps along the way. Do you think it's something precious? It's nothing compared to a horse carriage."
Jiang Yuwei listened to Xu Qianqian's unpleasant words and wanted to kick her out of the car:
"No matter how good the carriage is, you still came back in my oxcart. No matter how shabby the oxcart is, your family doesn't even have one. Shouldn't you reflect on this? Oh, by the way, I'll give you one tael of silver for saving your life, ten cents for eating one of my buns, five cents for drinking a bowl of my water, five cents for riding in the oxcart, and eighty cents for sleeping on my bed. You must remember these accounts and give them to me as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei turned around and looked at Ning Huaizhi and said:
"Huaizhi, let's go back to the courtyard!"
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Xu Qianqian was so angry that she jumped up on the spot and pointed at the back of the ox cart leaving and cursed:
"Jiang Yuwei, who asked you to save me? You're asking for too much. Where can I get so much money for you? Don't leave!"
Ning Qiu saw that Xu Qianqian was really angry, and hurriedly said with a smile:
"Sister Yuwei, you are really amazing. You don't tolerate her bad habits at all!"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"I want to treat her like a human being, but she refuses to. So let it be. By the way, Ning Qiu, when we get to the courtyard, let's hurry up and make all the handbags for tomorrow. They will be needed when we open the business."
Ning Qiu nodded happily and said:
"Okay, we'll go home after we're done."
Soon everyone arrived at the courtyard. Jiang Yuwei asked Daya and Ning Qiu to go to the backyard to sew handbags first, while she cooked dinner in the front yard. There would be many people eating in the restaurant tomorrow, so Jiang Yuwei planned to make some braised food, some cakes and steamed buns to bring to the restaurant. It would be enough to stir-fry a few vegetables for lunch.
Since everyone would have to work overtime tonight, Jiang Yuwei prepared a few more delicious dishes to reward everyone. She first washed the freshly picked eggplants and cut them into dice, coated them with starch and fried them in a pan. She then prepared a sweet and sour sauce and stir-fried them in the pan to make a dish of sweet and sour eggplant.
Cut the potatoes into dice, fry them in oil, then take them out and add cumin, onion, garlic and soy sauce, stir-fry over high heat. The cumin fried potatoes are ready.
Jiang Yuwei also made a dish of meatball and mushroom soup, scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed chicken with potatoes and braised pork ribs. She also steamed two large pots of rice. The leftovers could be saved to make some egg fried rice for the fool tomorrow morning.
Seeing that the food was ready, Jiang Yuwei asked everyone to eat first. She poured all the cleaned pig offal into the pot, blanched it, added the marinade seasonings, and simmered it over low heat to make the marinade.
Jiang Yuwei used the fermented dough to make buns with two kinds of fillings, one with tofu and cabbage, and the other with leeks and pork. After wrapping the buns, she steamed them directly in the pot.
Jiang Yuwei mixed another piece of cold water dough and baked two large pancakes in the pan. Only then was everything prepared for tomorrow. Jiang Yuwei went to the table, ate a few bites, and then went back to the room to take a shower.
When she came out of the shower, everyone had finished their work and went home, leaving only Daya with Ning Zhao and Ning Wan to clean up the yard. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly took the broom from Daya and said:
"Daya, you've been tired all day, go back to your room and go to sleep. I can do this job."
Ning Daya smiled and said:
"Sister Yuwei, I'm not tired. I'll be done soon. You can go back to the room first."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei had no choice but to give a strong order:
"Daya, be obedient. We have to go to town to open the business early tomorrow morning. Go back to the house quickly."
Seeing this, Ning Daya had no choice but to go back to the backyard and sleep.
Jiang Yuwei quickly cleaned up the yard, helped Ning Wan take a bath, and took her to bed.
next day
Everyone arrived at the courtyard early and waited to go to the shop together. Jiang Yuwei only brought Ning Qiu, Ning Daya, Ning Zhao, and Ning Wan to help. The others stayed at home to make paper. Jiang Yuwei left some lunch for them and let Ning Huaizhi drive the ox cart away.
Uncle Ning Wu also had to go to the shop to collect money today, so he also drove the ox cart and followed Ning Huai. This time he was taking Uncle Ning Wu to familiarize himself with the way, so that he could go by himself in the future.
When the group arrived at the shop, the fool had already opened the door and cleaned up. Seeing Jiang Yuwei coming, he hurriedly reached out for food. Jiang Yuwei directly handed him a big bowl of fried rice, and the fool happily went to the backyard to eat.
Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Qiu and Ning Daya:
"Yesterday I taught you about the membership system and the uses of our products. Remember them all. When customers come into the store, you two will be responsible for explaining them."
Ning Daya and Ning Qiu looked at each other and nodded excitedly.
Ning Wan on the side said anxiously:
"Mother, mother, what is Wan'er doing?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"Wan'er is still responsible for helping the customers pack. Have you mastered the packing method that mother taught you yesterday?"
Ning Wan nodded and smiled:
"Okay, don't worry, mom, I'll pack it beautifully!"
Jiang Yuwei touched Ning Wan's head, then looked at Ning Zhao and Uncle Ning Wu and said:
"Uncle Wu, you and Ning Zhao will stand at the counter today. Don't go anywhere. Don't come to help just because you see the people in front are busy. Just guard the counter. Uncle Wu will be responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts, and Zhao'er will be responsible for recording member information. Each member will have one page of paper. Make sure to write down their name and home address clearly. I've put the notebook on the counter for you."
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Ning Zhao and Uncle Ning Wu hurried to the counter, found their notebooks and began to familiarize themselves with the business.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi again and instructed:
"Huaizhi, you are responsible for distributing bouquets and handbags to member guests. Have you memorized the member gift system I told you about?"
Ning Huaizhi smiled and nodded:
"I know how to do it, don't worry."
Jiang Yuwei saw that the fool had also finished his meal and came out, so she hurriedly said to him:
"You are responsible for patrolling back and forth, fool, to prevent the Ge family's people from causing trouble again. You must pay attention to whether there are sneaky people stealing things or destroying things. Do you understand?"
