[Part 2] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 290

"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.
