Chapter 91 It's easy to follow suit
Sun Xiaolan stretched out her hand and asked the third aunt to apply ointment on her elbow. As soon as the cool ointment touched the red and swollen flesh, she immediately hissed in pain.
"Oh, how did this happen?" Third Aunt frowned.
Sun Xiaolan was full of resentment, and began to complain about her lazy father-in-law, her mother-in-law who made troubles for her all day, and her stupid daughter, but she didn't say anything bad about her son.
Although the third aunt has not been back for a long time, she is well aware of her family's situation.
Habitual children are like killing children. Sooner or later, you will fall into the hands of your son.
Of course, she would not be stupid enough to say this. On the contrary, when Sun Xiaolan complained that her son's desire to eat chicken legs every day could not be satisfied, she expressed deep sympathy, and then took the opportunity to put forward her own ideas.
"Doing business in partnership?"
For a long time, the third aunt has been going out to work with her husband, and they go to big cities. Although they are doing small jobs everywhere, but I have heard people say that the most profitable people are businessmen, so I can't help being moved.
But her husband is conservative by nature, and feels that doing business requires capital investment and cannot bear a dime loss, so she can only hold back her thoughts.
But now, with a living example like Wang Pingping in front of her eyes, her silent heart started beating again.
Doing business requires investing capital, and you are afraid of losing money, so why not recruit people to partner?
Even if a small rice ball stall loses money, if two people share it equally, the loss will not be much.
Under the persuasion of her third aunt, Sun Xiaolan, who had long wanted to get rid of poverty, finally gritted her teeth and nodded.
The two pooled some money together, bought a cart and some ingredients, and opened the business.
Before officially starting the business, the third aunt even deliberately approached Wang Pingping several times, hoping that she would teach her the exclusive secret recipe, but she politely stopped her.
Sun Xiaolan sneered and said, "I told you that she is not that kind. If you want to spread the cooking skills to the outside world, it is better to think about it yourself. I believe that the rice balls you make will be no worse than her Wang Pingping!"
Regardless of how many people went to Wang Pingping's house to join in the fun that day, there were not many people who really wanted to do something.
When Sun Xiaolan and Third Aunt's rice ball stall had officially opened, Daya Village was the only one that sold rice balls.
When Liu Chunhua heard about this, she laughed behind her back and said, "An insidious person like Tong Dafeng would be killed by anyone else. I'll just wait and see how they come back crying!"
But things went beyond her expectations.
This impromptu small stall not only survived in the cracks, but also brought Sun Xiaolan and the others far more money than farming.
The third aunt was used to thrift, and others couldn't tell whether she was making money or not.
But Sun Xiaolan loves her son. Once she has money, she buys braised meat, toys, and comic books for Tong Erbao. Tong Erbao likes to show off in front of her peers.
Soon, everyone was spreading the word that doing the rice ball business really made money. Didn't Tong Erbao even tear up comic strips that cost several dollars?
Maybe one Wang Pingping is not enough to shake people, but what about adding another Sun Xiaolan?
The villagers in Daya Village and even several nearby villages were all moved.
Tong Qian was walking on the streets of Linshui County, looking around.
He slapped the young man beside him: "Ming Yan, have you ever counted how many rice ball sellers we passed by?"
Without thinking about it, Zhou Mingyan replied casually, "Five families."
"There are so many!" Tong Qian sighed while admiring Zhou Mingyan's meticulous observation skills, "There are quite a few people who follow suit."
Including Tong Dafeng's store, there are at least six or seven stores in the entire Linshui County that do this business.
"Tong Dafeng just started making money not long ago, so many people who compete with her for business suddenly appear, I'm afraid they are going to die at home." Tong Qian gloated.
With one or two strong competitors, Tong Dafeng can squeeze them out of business, but how about six or seven more?No matter how many tricks Tong Dafeng has, it is impossible for all these stalls to close down overnight.
He guessed right, Tong Dafeng was sitting in front of the shop, furious at the deserted business.
"Look at one or two of you, you dare to be lazy in front of me! All the customers have been neglected by you, and the business is getting worse day by day! I warn you, there is no income in the store, and you don't even want to get your salary! "
Although Tong Dafeng was talking to Xu Jia and the relatives who made rice balls, his words were directed at Xu Jia.
Xu Jia felt wronged.
At that time, she took the 100 yuan salary that Wang Pingping gave her, and she was very pleasantly surprised at first, but later, as the business of the stall improved day by day, she became greedy, thinking that without her, Xu Jia, how could there be a stall? Such a good business, but Wang Pingping is still only willing to give her 100 yuan a month, which is less than a fraction of the monthly profit.
Dissatisfaction accumulated day by day, and at this moment, Tong Dafeng came to the door.
She said straight to the point that she was willing to pay Xu Jia more wages, and that as long as the store's business was good, she could still get a share.
The words imply that as long as Xu Jian can help her knock down Wang Pingping's stall, Tong Dafeng will give her an extra 300 yuan.
At first, Xu Jia of course refused immediately, she knew what kind of person Tong Dafeng was, and doing business with such a person was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.
But gradually, under the repeated persuasion of the people sent by Tong Dafeng, Xu Jia wavered.She was afraid that Wang Pingping would make more money in the future, so she was still only willing to give her this little salary.
Obviously...she can make rice balls too.
Not long after, Wang Pingping suddenly informed her that she decided to switch to selling boxed meals.
Xu Jia was very pessimistic about this decision. She didn't understand why she took the risk to open up new markets when there was so much money to be made making rice balls.
But she understands that she is just a part-time worker and has no right to comment on the boss's decision.
On the surface, Xu Jia supported Wang Pingping, but in private, she contacted Tong Dafeng and made sure that what she promised would be fulfilled, so she suddenly proposed to change jobs, which caught Wang Pingping by surprise.
But it didn't take long for Xu Jia to regret it after being under Tong Dafeng's command.
She didn't expect that Tong Dafeng was more selfish than she imagined. However, the salary was controlled by others, Xu Jia not only couldn't expose it, but also had to help Tong Dafeng to make suggestions to win her favor.
After monopolizing the market in Linshui County, Tong Dafeng's business was prospering day by day. In just one month, he made a profit of nearly 2000 yuan.
But the share promised to Xu Jia did not arrive in the account. By the end of the month, she only got more than 80 yuan.
Of course she quit, and went to make trouble with Tong Dafeng, and Tong Dafeng settled the score for her.
Xu Jia went to pick up her son during work, and every absenteeism was counted as 2 yuan; her son knocked over something in the store, and 2 yuan was deducted; her son often ate cucumbers and side dishes from the stall, and 2 yuan was deducted once he ate it...
Xu Jia was a little guilty at the beginning, but afterward, she couldn't help laughing angrily: "I'll help you with your feelings, but in the end I still have to owe you money!"
