Chapter 161: Call it Sun...What if you open a chain store in the future?
In addition to the clothing store, Xu Hengzhou also plans to open a small restaurant. The restaurant is located near a middle school, and not far away there is also an elementary school. Occupying this geographical location, as long as the food is clean and the taste is good, there is no fear of not having a business.
The head chef of the restaurant was introduced by Old Li. Her last name is Huang. This auntie originally had a son who served as a soldier for Old Li, but he passed away later on. Auntie Huang's husband died early, leaving her to raise their only son alone. Now that her son is also gone, she is left very lonely and pitiful.
Auntie Huang is skilled in making all kinds of noodles and dumplings, steaming mantou, frying Chinese pancakes, and pulling noodles. Each dish has its unique flavor and is incredibly delicious. When Auntie Huang's son used to visit home, he would bring his mother's dumplings to his comrades, and they all praised how tasty they were.
When Xu Hengzhou was worried about finding a reliable person to run the shop, Old Li mentioned Auntie Huang. She was living alone in the countryside and was struggling, so Old Li asked if she would be willing to come.
Upon receiving Old Li's letter, Auntie Huang immediately packed her bags and came over. Having lost her husband and then her son, she felt life had lost its meaning, and each day felt like a struggle.
Old Li's letter was encouraging to Auntie Huang. She had heard her son speak highly of his leader, although she didn't know the details. She knew Old Li was a good person who had helped her son a lot, so if he asked her to come work, she was willing.
Old Li also helped resolve Auntie Huang's household registration issue. Xu Hengzhou promised that if Auntie Huang did well, he would take care of her retirement in the future.
Auntie Huang's skills were indeed impressive. She immediately got to work, making a batch of dumplings for them to eat. The filling was incredibly fragrant, and even Xiang Chen couldn't stop eating, finishing two large bowls.
Xu Hengzhou rented a room nearby for Auntie Huang to live in temporarily, as he didn't have extra money to buy a house yet. Before the shop opened, Auntie Huang would experiment with different dishes for them to try. When Xiang Chen was busy studying, she would deliver the food to the school. The dumplings were tightly packed and still warm when delivered. People even mistook her for Xiang Chen's mother.
The first time Auntie Huang went to the school, Xiang Chen's classmates didn't know the situation and shouted into the classroom, "Xiang Chen, your mom is looking for you." Auntie Huang couldn't help but shed tears, which frightened Xiang Chen's classmates. Xiang Chen had to come out and explain the situation.
Xiang Chen knew that Auntie Huang was missing her son. Old Li had told him about Auntie Huang's son. Her son had joined the army when he was quite young and left home early, around the same age as Xiang Chen.
After that incident, whether it was due to Xiang Chen's natural charm or Auntie Huang's affection, she started treating Xiang Chen even better, showing more concern and care. Xiang Chen was the type of person who felt compelled to reciprocate the kindness shown to him. He already had a lot of respect for Auntie Huang, but now they have grown closer, and their relationship improved even further.
With the staff in place and sufficient supplies ready, it was time to open the shops. Both shops had the same name, "Sunshine," one called Sunshine Clothing Store, and the other Sunshine Snack Shop.
