Happy Chinese New Year! Unfortunately, no bonus today!

Chapter 290. Not lacking in money

"It's okay to earn less. Have to let everyone be full." Zhou Qing Bai continued to chop stuffing and answered without paying attention.

Aunt Ma admired him more. When she came back in the evening, she told Uncle Ma: "It's no wonder that they can raise Xiao Kai and his brothers to be such good kids. The couple both have good hearts."

Not a profiteer at all.

Normally, one can't bear to eat dumplings with so much filling at home. Moreover, with that amount of fillings and flours, such dumplings really can't much money.

So when her old friend came to inquire, Aunt Ma said: "Xiao Kai's father is very honest. One dumpling is packed with that much stuffing. How much money can they make? They also hired me, which cost 20 yuan. I estimate after deducting the rent, they won’t make much."

"If they can't earn much, how can they possibly hire you?" Her old friend didn't believe it.

"Well, isn't he busy? He can't keep up with the shop's busyness. If you don't believe me, you can go try a bowl tomorrow. I guarantee you'll give praise." Aunt Ma stated.

Her old friend really did come the next day.

Zhou Qing Bai served a bowl without preferential treatment. Her old friend was satisfied with the meal and said: "The portion is quite an amount."

"Ain't that right?" Aunt Ma nodded.

Aunt Ma's old friend asked Zhou Qing Bai: "Can you make money with such a bowl of dumplings?"

"Not much." Zhou Qing Bai glanced over at her and replied.

"Then why are you doing this?" this old lady said.

"What do I do if not this? There is no other job." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

"Put less filling then?" the old lady suggested.

"Customers won't be full if there are less. Open the door to do business, so have to be honest. It's okay if I can't make much." Zhou Qing Bai casually gave a response.

He didn't continue on about how much money can be made. But earning some popularity was good.

He heard this from his wife.

Small profits but quick turnover. The more the sale, even if it was this much, the profit will also go up.

Also, it can earn word of mouth and gain popularity. Other people will come in to eat after seeing the business doing well. His wife was knowledgeable. She said this was called herd behavior.

The more people there were, then the better the taste was.

These need not be explained to outsiders.

This old friend of Aunt Ma had a son who plans to become self-employed. If not, she would not come over to eat and inquire.

Just ask Zhou Qing Bai how much the shop rent was.

Zhou Qing Bai reported the average amount out there.

Except for Uncle Wang from the library, no outsider really knew that this shop was actually their family's.

When the old lady left, Aunt Ma was puzzled: "It can't be that her son want to open one by himself? Why did she ask so much?"

Zhou Qing Bai said: "Guess he does want to be self-employed."

Probably won't be willing to sell dumplings. After all, she had eaten his dumplings. There will be a lot of pressure. Basically, those within the same market can't snatch business from his shop.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't care so much. He got more business entering and went to cook the dumplings.

Zhou Qing Bai's dumpling shop was on fire, while Lin Qing He was thriving in school.

It was because of her high quality of teaching and fun in class. The school will let her step up whenever there were speeches to make.

After all, she got the looks and had vast knowledge,. So she had become the spokesperson of Bei University without sensing it.

This was what the previous Chen Xue who abandoned her rural man and aborted her schoolmate's baby had been trying to achieve.

But how could Bei University let her be the image spokesperson?

When Lin Qing He finished class that day, Chen Xue came to look for her.

Lin Qing He didn't expect Chen Xue to come to her. Compared with the energetic Chen Xue when school just started, Chen Xue was obviously a lot downhearted now.

Still, her back was straight.

"Would you like to talk with me?" Chen Xue looked at her and asked.

Lin Qing He had nothing to talk with her, said: "If it's something other than studying, it's not necessary."

She wasn't interested in listening to any other topics from Chen Xue.

Chen Xue pursed her lips and looked at her: "How did you convince the school to graduate early?"

"You can ask the school director." Lin Qing He smiled and then left.

Wang Li just came out of the classroom and saw it. She ran over to follow Lin Qing He and asked, "What's the matter? I just saw her talking to you?"

"Ask me how I convince the school to graduate early." Lin Qing He answered.

Wang Li's face expressed her shock. Lin Qing He uttered, "What's wrong? What happened now?"

"She broke up with that guy." Wang Li replied with a curled mouth.

"Broke up? Weren't they still firm before?" Lin Qing He mocked.

Wang Li said, "The guy got together with another woman. It seemed that she caught hit him on the spot, so a quarrel happened and now split up."

Lin Qing He shook her head, "Leave her be. I will go to the shop first."

"Go. But do you want to go to the bathhouse in the evening?" Wang Li checked.

"I do." Lin Qing He responded.

Now she had adapted to the bathhouse, she must say that it was really comfortable to take a bath with each other.

Lin Qing He came to the shop. Zhou Kai, Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Gui Lai had already arrived. The whole family had a meal with Aunt Ma.

"Uncle Wang asked me to bring him dumplings after I finished eating." Zhou Kai brought up after eating.

"Smelly boy, why didn't you say earlier. Will leave you out after you deliver it first?" Lin Qing He lectured.

She had mostly done too. She put down the chopsticks and went over to scoop a bowl of dumplings, and then got Zhou Kai to send it over: "You are not allowed to charge your Uncle Wang!"

"If I don't accept it, Uncle Wang won't eat it. Mother, don't mind this. Uncle Wang doesn't lack that bit of money." Zhou Kai waved his hand and carried the food box to Uncle Wang.

"I don't know how I taught this silly boy." Lin Qing He turned to Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma smiled and said: "Xiao Kai is right. Old Wang certainly isn't short of money, so don't mind about it that much."

Them neighbors knew old Wang was subsidized a lot of money after he came back. Also, the things that were confiscated before. Because a lot was ruined, it was also compensated. Old Wang really didn't lack that bit of money.

"The house and this shop are all thanks to Uncle Wang's help. If not, my family may not be able to move over yet. How can I still collect money for my dumplings?" Lin Qing He explained in helplessness.

Aunt Ma grinned and casually said: "I think old Wang likes your family. How about recognizing him as a godfather?"

"Huh?" Lin Qing He froze. She really hadn't thought about this issue.

"This can't do. People would think we are eyeing on Uncle Wang's fortune." Lin Qing He shook her head as soon as she came out of her daze.

Uncle Wang from Bei University Library was a veritable low-key rich man.

Don't know how much money he got, but Lin Qing He knew that Uncle Wang owned a courtyard dwelling which got an inner courtyard.

This courtyard dwelling only was enough to indicate how wealthy he was, right? It was currently leased to some tenants and can collect a lot of rent every month.

It was absolute truth to say that Uncle Wang wasn't short of money.
