Chapter 2206
Starting with Small Businesses
The next day, Yan's Restaurant was transformed.
Orchid first calmed Chef Wang down.
In her opinion, Chef Wang's cooking is still the best she has ever eaten.
After singing "The Sky City Strategy" for another day, Lan Hua left work early in the evening and rode her bicycle to Zhang Chunhua's courtyard.
She really didn't dare come over during the day.
If someone with ulterior motives sees this and tells the elderly couple, who knows what they will think.
If rumors spread that Zhang Chunhua divorced Yan Jiekuang and moved elsewhere, it was because she instigated it.
Even if that orchid jumped into the Yellow River, it couldn't clear its name.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Zhang Chunhua still addressed Lan Hua as Sister-in-law.
For her, among the entire Yan family, Lan Hua was the only person she could truly be close to.
"I came to see you and Xuewen, and also to discuss something with you two," Lan Hua said with a smile.
"Oh, sister-in-law." Zhang Chunhua blushed slightly when she heard the title "couple."
Marrying the right person brings about a different mental state.
Just like Zhang Chunhua, when she married Yan Jiekuang, she armed herself like a hedgehog.
Because Yan Jiekuang looked down on her at that time, and the elderly couple in the Yan family bullied her, she had to show her strong side to others.
But ultimately, she was raised and protected by her three older brothers.
Although she may not appear gentle, she is actually quite tender-hearted.
She had never shown this kind of shyness when she was at the Yan family home.
"How has Baldy treated you? Has he bullied you?" The two walked into the house arm in arm, and Lan Hua whispered in her former sister-in-law's ear.
"fine.
Aside from his loud voice, he's actually an honest man. Speaking of this, Zhang Chunhua became even more shy.
This remarriage allowed her to rediscover the feeling of being cared for.
Now the couple are inseparable. Hu the Bald does most of the work every day, but all the money is handed over to Zhang Chunhua for safekeeping.
Hu the Bald had no selfish motives whatsoever in this matter.
The key point is that Hu the Bald seems to have no opinion whatsoever about the children.
They treated Yan Xuewen like their own son.
Of course, Zhang Chunhua also had her own ideas on this.
She had already weaned Yan Xuewen long ago.
All he wanted was to give Hu the Bald a child of his own.
These days, most women's thoughts are quite normal.
If you're thinking of having a man earn money to support the family, then have a child with him to give him more motivation.
Just like eating and drinking, it's a very ordinary thing.
People like Qin Huairu from a past life are truly freaks.
"...One is the train station, and the other is the square; both are places with the most tourists from other places."
Those people also need to eat.
····
If you two think you can do it, let's go together.
I've prepared everything every day. You don't need to worry about the preparations. Just go to the corner of my shop around 10 o'clock and wait for me.
We'll split the profits 50/50.
Let's be a little stingy with my sister-in-law's behavior for now, after all, my husband runs such a big business.
"I have to cover the rent and labor costs," Lan Hua said, referring to the simplified lunchbox cooperation agreement.
In other words, she was responsible for processing the food, and then Zhang Chunhua and her husband would go to places with many tourists to sell it.
Her restaurant earns a processing fee, which allows Zhang Chunhua and her husband to earn more extra money.
Of course, she wasn't just thinking about partnering with Zhang Chunhua and her husband in this business.
Like Yan Jiefang, she was also struggling with whether or not to bring him in.
During the day, she plans to make her own shop a place where customers can enjoy a hot meal.
To put it bluntly, orchids are targeting the basic needs of ordinary people. They're doing business that allows people to eat their fill for just a few cents.
When asked to think about how to improve her restaurant, she couldn't come up with any ideas.
Based on her understanding, these were all the things she could think of.
Baldy Hu remained silent, his eyes fixed on Zhang Chunhua.
This shows who's really in charge in this family.
After thinking it over carefully, Zhang Chunhua realized that this was indeed something that could be done.
These days, most people travel on a budget, often taking advantage of business trips.
The only major expense was probably taking a few photos in front of a landmark.
In other words, save where you should, and spend where you should.
To be honest, Zhang Chunhua was starting to admire her sister-in-law.
Everyone used to set up stalls outside, so why didn't she think of this possibility?
If someone else had approached her about this collaboration, she might have had some ulterior motives.
After all, aside from orchids, the couple could make them on their own.
It's just about selling food to fill people's stomachs; there's no need to be too particular about the taste.
Putting aside her relationship with Lan Hua, just thinking about it carefully, there are quite a few benefits to cooperating with Lan Hua.
At least the couple doesn't have to be so busy, and they don't have to worry about unsold goods going to waste...
Zhang Chunhua hesitated over the pros and cons in her heart for a long time before nodding to Lan Hua and saying, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's give it a try."
She spoke, and the bald man next to her nodded in agreement.
This means the collaboration has been successful.
The next day, Lan Hua went to the restaurant and discussed it with Chef Wang.
Chef Wang was perfectly fine with it; he just needed to cook a large pot of vegetables every noon.
This is his original profession.
The key issue is that business is getting increasingly slow, and Chef Wang is starting to feel uneasy about staying there.
Yan Jiecheng may be a blockhead, but he knows what he's doing.
If the chef has good skills, even the smallest restaurant will attract more and more regular customers.
However, he has very few repeat customers.
This also shows that his cooking skills are really just average.
They can't compare to their senior brothers and uncles who are in charge of cooking in various restaurants.
His skill was simply to let the neighbors in the alley have a taste of his cooking.
This is really not enough for those who frequently eat and drink out.
He was not only afraid of losing his job, but also afraid of ruining his reputation.
If the Yan couple only realize that it was because his cooking skills were mediocre that the restaurant couldn't succeed...
That might affect their business of hosting banquets in the future.
To put it bluntly, he used to think he was very outstanding.
Now that things are really serious, I've realized the gap between myself and others.
It's that simple.
That noon, Lan Hua carried several clean buckets, one containing rice and the other containing vegetables.
They were all covered up in cotton-padded clothes and carried onto the tricycle.
She didn't let Zhang Chunhua and her husband come to get it, but waited at the street corner.
Just like how Yan Jiefang wasn't the first person she thought of as a collaborator.
She's keeping an eye on Lao Yan's family.
As for whether or not to involve Yan Jiefang in the project, she was still undecided.
This is different from her agreeing to have Zhaodi come and help.
Even if they don't let Zhaodi come, the couple will definitely hire someone else; they'll simply be too busy. (End of Chapter)
