Lin Mai went out to a small state-owned store not far away to buy brushes, ink and white paper, intending to write a recruitment notice.
She and Zhou Caiyun would be exhausted just by themselves. She wanted to hire two guys so that they wouldn't be too tired.
I accidentally saw Uncle Steamer being dragged to Aunt Hu's house. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about.
When Aunt Hu saw Lin Mai looking towards her, she looked away with a guilty look.
Lin Mai couldn't help but frown: Isn't this old witch always arrogant? There are times when she is afraid of facing her!
She didn't care, she went to the small store to buy the things she wanted to buy and came back.
Zhou Caiyun put away the new steamer and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Lin Mai sitting at a table writing calligraphy, she moved over curiously.
Although her eyes were as wide as a bell, she could not recognize many words.
I stood aside and watched for a long time, but I didn't know what she was writing, so I asked: "What are you writing?"
Lin Mai said without raising his head: "Recruitment notice."
Afraid that she wouldn't understand, I explained again: "It just means recruiting a few guys."
Zhou Caiyun asked in confusion: "Isn't it enough for the two of us? Why do we need to hire a man? Doesn't that increase the cost?"
Lin Mai glanced at her and said, "We work every day without rest? How many more guys can we take turns to take breaks?"
Moreover, when we were selling steamed buns in the morning, many customers said that steamed buns and braised eggs alone were not enough. They had to be paired with some soup to make them comfortable to eat.
So I want to add porridge, rice wine and dumplings.
In this case, how can the two of us keep busy? This guy must be hired."
Zhou Caiyun asked: "Then how many guys do you plan to hire?"
Lin Mai thought for a while and said: "One person makes buns, one person rolls out dumpling skins, one person makes dumplings, and one person is responsible for buying and selling. I will hire four for now."
When the business gets back on track, Lin Mai plans to add two more assistants to completely liberate himself.
She no longer wanted to do what she did in her previous life, in order to save a few hirelings' wages and tire herself to death, causing her to grow old before her time.
In this life, she will make money, but she will never sacrifice her health.
After writing the recruitment notice and posting it at the door, Lin Mai went upstairs to rest.
I plan to take a nap before buying the glutinous rice needed to make rice wine and a lot of bowls and chopsticks.
You can start selling rice porridge and dumplings after hiring a waiter, but you must start selling rice porridge tomorrow, otherwise it will be all dry and not watery, and you will lose customers.
Jiangcheng people pay attention to the combination of dry and thin dishes when eating breakfast.
When she entered the room, she found Doudou sleeping on her little bed.
This surprised Lin Mai, who thought she was playing with children outside.
However, Lin Mai didn't take it seriously. It was normal for the child to want to sleep when he was tired from playing.
After Fang Zhuoran left Lin Mai's bun shop, he did not go home. Instead, he went directly to the Hankou District Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask Director Liu to apply for Lin Mai's business license.
A few years ago, Director Liu's son suffered from liver cysts. Originally, liver cysts were not a serious disease and were not life-threatening at all.
However, Director Liu's son has been weak since he was a child and suffered severe liver damage. The entire liver was fragmented and he also developed liver abscesses, making his condition very serious.
No one dared to operate on his son, and his son could only wait to die.
It was Fang Zhuoran who stepped forward and used his superb surgical skills to perform an operation on his son without leaving any sequelae, saving his son's life.
Director Liu only had one son, so Fang Zhuoran was grateful and gave him red envelopes several times to thank him, but he never accepted them.
At most, only fruit snacks are accepted.
When Fang Zhuoran asked him to help, he naturally refused.
Besides, there are already internal documents above that can apply for a business license for self-employed individuals, so it is not against the rules for him to do Fang Zhuoran a favor.
It's just that Fang Zhuoran didn't have any information about the applicant. Director Liu couldn't handle it for him even if he wanted to. He asked him to get the information and he would handle it for him immediately.
Fang Zhuoran certainly knew that applying for a business license required the applicant’s information.
The main reason he came here this time was to confirm whether Director Liu could handle it. If not, he would have to find someone else.
Now that Director Liu can handle it, he feels relieved.
Fang Zhuoran did not rush back to Linmai's Baozi shop. Instead, he went to Puji Hospital and searched through the industrial tickets of his colleagues.
I got ten industrial tickets and immediately went to the mall to buy a 14-inch Peony brand black and white TV station and gave it to Doudou.
Whenever he thought of Doudou standing in front of other people's houses and watching the TV and no one else would let him, he felt terribly uncomfortable, as if his own child was being bullied.
When Fang Zhuoran came to Lin Mai's snack bar with the TV in his arms, Zhou Caiyun was the only one sitting in the store selling braised eggs.
Seeing Fang Zhuoran go and come back, I thought something was wrong with him.
Zhou Caiyun was shocked to hear that he was here to deliver a TV set to Doudou.
A TV set costs more than 400 yuan, and you can build a two-story small house in the countryside, but this guy bought it for Doudou with ease!
Is this the legendary inhumanity?
Zhou Caiyun dared to accept it without permission and hurried upstairs.
No matter what happened, he woke up Lin Mai, who was sleeping soundly: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, get up quickly!"
Lin Mai opened his eyes: "What happened?"
Zhou Caiyun made a big circle gesture in an extremely exaggerated manner: "Something big has happened! Professor Fang bought a TV set and gave it to Doudou."
As soon as Lin Mai heard this, his head that had been groggy when he woke up instantly became extremely clear-headed.
I thought I heard it wrong, so I asked: "TV?!"
Zhou Caiyun nodded seriously.
Lin Mai immediately got up from the bed and followed Rudian downstairs, where she saw Fang Zhuoran selling braised eggs for her.
There was a large cardboard box on the table behind him, with the words Peony TV clearly written on it.
Fang Zhuoran heard footsteps behind him, turned around and smiled at Lin Mai: "I sold five braised eggs in one go."
Lin Mai pointed to the TV: "I can't accept this, it's too expensive."
Fang Zhuoran said with a smile in his eyes: "I bought it for Doudou."
"No matter who you buy it from, you can't accept it anyway~" Lin Mai said firmly.
Fang Zhuoran frowned slightly in embarrassment: "I bought everything, what should I do?"
In this era, when buying things in state-owned shopping malls, returns and exchanges are not guaranteed.
Lin Mai paused, originally wanting him to give the TV to Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang.
It suddenly occurred to me that there was no signal in the countryside, and the TV set sent there could only be used as a decoration.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Well, let me buy this TV. Can I pay for it in two months?"
Fang Zhuoran was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "But you don't have to pay me, I'll offset it by eating in your store."
Lin Mai was stunned: "It will take a long time to pay off the twenty yuan you lent me to buy furniture. How long will it take to pay for the TV? For a lifetime?"
Fang Zhuoran smiled charmingly: "Then for a lifetime."
Zhou Caiyun looked at Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran inquiringly, feeling that there was something strange about the atmosphere between them.
But she couldn't put it into words.
Lin Mai scratched his eyebrows with his fingers and finally agreed to Fang Zhuoran's suggestion.
She walked to the TV and wanted to move the TV upstairs.
Fang Zhuoran said, "I'll do it." He gently pulled her away.
I carried the TV upstairs and, as she requested, placed the TV in the small living room of the suite where her mother and daughter lived.
After setting up the TV station, Fang Zhuoran said: "I have just gone to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in Hankou area and found Director Liu.
Director Liu promises to apply for a business license for you.
You should prepare your household register and application report now, and I will accompany you to apply for the business license."
Lin Mai hurriedly took out the household registration book from the cabinet, quickly wrote the application report, and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Hankou District with Fang Zhuoran.
