Chapter 1228 Control group in the 1990s (37)
Xu Yanshi Yin takes the two little ones for running and boxing every Sunday. After boxing practice, he takes them to the street to drink soy milk and eat small steamed buns. After dinner, they do their homework together, and she tells them about it after they finish. Wrong questions and difficult questions.
I have to say that Jiang Nianchen is much smarter than Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao was still biting his pen to digest the topic she talked about, but Jiang Nianchen raised his hand to show that he understood it.
Her days are spent leisurely developing new products for her bakery, teaching boxing to her two little ones, and studying, which is busy and fulfilling.
Another year has passed in a flash.
Xu Xiao is in the second grade, and Xu’s Cake Shop has opened another one.
With the iron ore plant again laying off workers, coal plants and hardware factories are also laying off employees one after another. More and more food stalls for laid-off workers are popping up at the morning and evening market in front of the machinery factory, but the consumer base is gradually declining.
Seeing that the business of the Xu family’s sesame cake stall was so good, it was natural that someone was trying to modify the stove to sell sesame cakes.
Not to mention, there are actually people who know the structure of the furnace. Although the sesame cake fillings are not as delicious as the Xu family, the price is cheaper. The Xu family sells them for 2 cents, and he sells them for 15 cents; the Xu family sells them for 50 cents, and he sells them. Thirty-five cents, someone will always buy it.
Businessmen are most afraid of price wars. Within a few days, the Xu family cake stall was affected.
Not only that, the other party didn’t seem to sleep every day and came to occupy the stall at four o’clock in the morning.
Although the stalls at this time are all free and there are no fixed stalls. Whoever goes early will pick first. However, because the Xu family was the first to set up a stall here, it has been set up for two years, and everyone has a tacit agreement. Unexpectedly, someone would seize the stall, and Ma Chunfang was so angry that they had a big quarrel.
But on the second and third days, the other party still came very early. In addition, he was also selling sesame cakes, which were still 5 cents or 10 cents cheaper than those of the Xu family. He really took away a lot of business.
Ma Chunfang was so angry that she couldn't sleep well for several nights. She set the alarm clock and planned to get up at 3:30 to occupy the stall, but Xu Yin stopped her.
"Mom, what's more important, business or health? You go back to the old stall at 3:30 today, and he will take it up at 3 o'clock tomorrow. Then do you have to get up at 2:30 the day after tomorrow to take it up? There are only a few hours in one night. Are you going to sleep? In my opinion, the breakfast stalls here are too full, so let’s just quit.”
"Quit? Accomplish them? Wouldn't it be too easy for them?"
“No, let’s change the map and set up a stall.”
???”
Xu Yin found a shop near the government compound in the south of the city and persuaded her parents to open a shop there directly. Whoever liked the stall at the entrance of the machinery factory could occupy it.
This time it’s not a rental, it’s a direct purchase of the shop.
The previous owner was also a businessman, so he divided the shop into two rooms, the front and back, with the front half used for business and the back half used as bedrooms.
In this way, Xu and Wu and his wife no longer have to rush back and forth every day. When they are busy late, they can rest in the store and get more sleep the next morning.
At the morning and night market near the machinery factory, many regular customers saw that Xu’s cake stall had not been open for several days. They missed his sesame cakes and sauce-flavored cakes very much, so they went to the workers’ compound of the iron ore factory to inquire:
“Does the owner of Xu’s Cake Stall live here? Or has he moved? Why haven’t I seen them out of the stall for several days?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen them as a couple for several days.”
“Chunfang’s brother comes back every day. Chunfang and his wife have indeed not seen each other for several days.”
“You didn’t get sick because you were so angry, did you?”
Jiao Dongmei came back from get off work and heard a few laid-off female workers chatting about the Xu family in the courtyard. She listened for a while and gloated about their misfortune and went home.
“Lao Zhou, have you heard? Lao Xu and his wife are very angry because their stall was robbed.”
"Who said that?" Zhou Quancai had just entered the house. When he got home, he took off his coat and lay on the bed. "How did I hear that Mr. and Mrs. Xu went to the south of the city to open a shop?"
“What? It’s impossible!”
"What's impossible? Lao Liu told me that Lao Xu was lucky enough to find a storefront near the government compound in the south of the city. The people living there were all people working in government agencies, and they were much richer than factory and mine workers. , the business is even better than here, there were people queuing up every day in the first three days of opening.”
The corners of his mouth drooped in an instant, and he was so happy for nothing!
In the blink of an eye, at the end of the month, the Xu Yin family gathered together again for a meeting. “First of all, let’s congratulate uncle for finally paying off all his gambling debts!”
Xu Yin handed the recovered IOU to Ma Jianbing and asked him to tear it up and burn it in front of the big guys.
Ma Jianbing seemed to be dreaming.
“Have I really paid it all off?”
"It's paid off! From now on, you will be debt-free and can think about life-long events." Xu Yin teased him.
Ma Jianbing cried like a child.
Xu Wuyi patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder with emotion and said: "Jianbing, you see, as long as you work hard, it's not difficult to live a good life, right? Don't gamble anymore in the future."
"No more! I won't even touch it to death! Now I have no interest in playing mahjong or pushing Pai Gow. I like to make pasta. Yinyin said that there will be a pasta competition in the neighboring city in the second half of the year, and I want to try it. "
Ma Chunfang said happily: "Okay, okay! When we close for the day, we will go with you!"
“Uncle, how about I be your bodyguard? Look how powerful I am now!”
Xu Xiao made a pose bulging his biceps, making everyone laugh.
Xu Yin smiled and rubbed her brother's head before continuing to talk about the next thing.
“Originally, I promised my uncle that after paying off the debt, I would leave the store to him and be responsible for its own profits and losses…”
"Yin Yin, how about it still be like this?" Ma Jianbing interrupted her, "I'm afraid I can't take care of it."
Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "Then I'll hire you as the store manager. Let me know anytime you want to go out and work alone."
Anyway, her uncle's craftsmanship has been fully developed after two years of non-stop kneading dough and making cakes.
"Okay, that's mainly these two things, and the next step is to pay wages!"
Everyone sat upright happily, looking forward to this day every month.
Xu Yin put everyone’s salary in an envelope and gave it to everyone, asking them to count it themselves, match a pair, and then take it back.
To put it bluntly, let them touch it, and after touching it, it will still be there with her.
At the same time, she recorded the amount of money, the date, and her personal seal on the salary books in their hands. Now that she had done it, she made it more formal to appease their hearts.
Because this month is also the last month of the quarter, in addition to interest there are also dividends.
The dividend this time is a new sweater for each person.
The mohair bat shirt knitted for Ma Chunfang was still popular nowadays. She was so happy to get it that she went to try it on in front of the mirror.
Ma Jianbing looked at her with eyes warm: "Yinyin, from now on I will also deposit my monthly salary with you. Can I also share benefits every quarter?"
Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth: "Uncle, my parents saved me here because they don't need the money for the time being. Aren't you talking about a partner? Don't you need to spend money to talk about a partner?"
“Then I save half?”
…”
Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "That's fine. Let's keep it with my aunt after my uncle gets married."
Ma Jianbing scratched his head and laughed innocently.
