When she went to school on Monday, Lin Mai specially asked Fang Zhuoran to drive past Yang Jin's Shaobing and Meat Snack Shop so that she could hand over the winter clothes she bought for Tiantian to Yang Jin.
Yang Jin, like yesterday, carried Tiantian on his back to do business.
Although today is a day for students to go to school, Yang Jin's business is not much better than yesterday.
The main reason is that the price of Shaobing with meat is a bit expensive compared to other breakfast options.
Many students couldn't afford it, so they could only look at it longingly, swallow their saliva and reluctantly walk away.
The main people buying sesame seed cakes with meat are still nearby residents.
However, given the current situation, Lin Mai estimated that Yang Jin could earn hundreds of dollars in a month, which would be much better than hanging around in a factory.
Fang Zhuoran stopped the car in front of Yang Jin's snack bar. Lin Mai got out of the car with the winter clothes he bought for Tiantian, walked to Yang Jin's shop, and called with a smile: "Brother-in-law."
Yang Jin makes sesame seed cakes with meat and sells them by himself. He is as busy as an octopus.
He didn't notice Lin Mai entering the store. He raised his head when he heard her voice and said in surprise: "Mai Zi, you're here!"
He picked up a freshly made Shaobing with beef: "You haven't had breakfast yet, come on, have some Shaobing with beef."
Lin Mai waved his hand: "I don't want to eat. Yesterday I went to the mall with my grandparents and dad, and by the way I bought two pairs of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for Tiantian."
Yang Jin said gratefully: "I'm sorry you have such intentions."
He wiped his hands with a rag, took the bag containing cotton clothes and pants from Lin Mai, and put it in the cabinet under the chopping board and locked it.
He rubbed Tiantian on his back and said, "Tiantian, your aunt has brought you new clothes. Are you happy?"
Although Tiantian can't speak yet, she can understand what her father is saying.
He chuckled at Lin Mai and waved his little arms.
Yang Jin once again handed the sesame seed cake with beef to Lin Mai: "Eat it, are you still polite to me?"
Lin Mai couldn't refuse, but the sesame cakes with beef were too expensive. Yang Jin and his eldest sister were probably reluctant to eat them themselves, and she wouldn't be too embarrassed to take them over.
Seeing the braised pork head, Lin Mai wanted to taste the taste of pork head in sesame cakes, so he said: "Bring me a sesame cake with pork head in it."
Yang Jin put down the sesame seed cake with beef in his hand, and quickly made her sesame seed cake with pork head.
Lin Mai saw that he was a little busy on his own, so he suggested that he hire a guy to help.
Yang Jin put the chopped braised pig head meat into the sesame seed cakes: "Let's see again, if the business continues to be so good, we can ask for help.
Now that I have invited you early, if the business is not good then I will have to fire them, it will be so embarrassing!"
He handed Lin Mai the prepared sesame cakes stuffed with pork head and the same sesame buns stuffed with beef.
He pointed at Lin Mai's Mercedes-Benz with his eyes: "You can eat the pig's head meat, and this beef one is for your professor."
When Fang Zhuoran saw Yang Jin looking over to him, he quickly lowered the car window and nodded to him as a greeting.
Just when Lin Mai was about to speak, he heard an old woman say in a strange tone: "I mean, Maizi, it's not easy for your brother-in-law to run a small business.
You said you are so rich, but you still go to your brother-in-law's snack bar to eat and drink, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Lin Mai turned to look at Yang's mother and said to Yang Jin: "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Originally, she only planned to get one sesame-burning cake stuffed with pork head, but now she deliberately took two sesame-burning cakes stuffed with pork head.
Seeing Yang's mother's face turned green with anger, she felt very happy.
When she got in the car, she heard Yang Jin say to his mother speechlessly: "Mom, Maizi bought two sets of cotton-padded clothes and jackets for Tiantian. Shouldn't I give her two sesame seed cakes with meat on them?"
Yang's mother knew that she was wrong, but she insisted on reasoning: "She is rich and she is Tiantian's aunt. Shouldn't she buy two sets of cotton-padded clothes and jackets for your Tiantian?"
Yang Jin's face turned gloomy when he saw that his own mother was being unreasonable.
Fortunately, Lin and Mai had already driven away, otherwise he would not have the face to face them if they heard his mother's harsh words.
Yang Ma said angrily: "Bring me eight sesame seed cakes filled with beef."
Yang Jin only gave her four sesame seed cakes filled with pork head.
Yang's mother was so angry that she said, "I've given you a hard time, and you're not willing to give up even if I ask you for a few sesame-shaped cakes with meat."
Yang Jin knew that his own mother was messing around, so he didn't want to pay attention to it and just concentrated on his business.
Yang’s mother became even more angry: “If you don’t give me eight sesame seed cakes with beef, I will destroy your shop!”
Yang Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at Yang Ma disdainfully: "You can smash it if you want.
Let everyone see how you are going to ruin your eldest son’s snack bar just because you don’t get sesame cakes and beef from me for your younger son and his wife to eat!”
Yang's mother had no real intention to destroy her eldest son's snack bar.
He just complained that his family gave birth to a daughter, but they refused to give up the house assigned to Bai Yan to his younger son's family, and he felt angry.
So I always try to find ways to get some benefits from the eldest son's family to supplement the younger son.
Seeing that her eldest son didn't care, Yang's mother was at a loss. She could only pick up the four sesame seed cakes with pig head meat and left angrily.
…
When they arrived at the gate of Qingda University, Fang Zhuoran parked the car, and Lin Mai opened the door and wanted to get out of the car.
But Fang Zhuoran pulled her back and gave her a long kiss before letting her go.
Although Lin Mai was shy every time she kissed Fang Zhuoran, she was in a good mood afterwards and didn't feel cold even if the cold wind blew on her face.
Because I wasted some time at Yang Jin snack bar just now, I came to school a little late today.
Lin Mai didn't go to the dormitory, but went directly to class.
On the way, I saw Xu Qingya arguing with a girl named Yuan Qianqian who was in her dormitory.
Several girls in the same dormitory around her helped Yuan Qianqian speak up. Xu Qingya was so angry that she cried loudly, saying that they were all bullying her.
Several of Shen Yun's roommates were watching, all watching with great interest.
Lin Mai walked up to them and asked gossiping: "What are Yuan Qianqian and Xu Qingya arguing about? Why did I hear the word third person?"
Tian Fen waved her hand: "Oh! Whoever becomes a roommate with Xu Qingya will be unlucky.
Yuan Qianqian was in trouble.
Just because a pen was missing before, she asked her roommates if they had seen the pen.
The other roommates didn't think much about it and just answered whatever they wanted.
Only when I asked Xu Qingya, I felt that Yuan Qianqian suspected that she was a thief.
Therefore, she held a grudge and spread rumors everywhere, saying that Yuan Qianqian was having promiscuous relations between men and women outside school.
Yuan Qianqian was so angry that she spent more than a week investigating and found out that Xu Qingya was spreading rumors, and the two started to quarrel."
Lin Mai shook his head: "Xu Qingya used to be neurotic and overly sensitive, but now she has bad thoughts."
"That's right." Several roommates nodded, "Thankfully we got rid of her, otherwise we would be the ones who suffered."
After everyone chatted for a while, they went to class separately.
If we continue talking, it will be late.
The class ended soon. Lin Mai and his classmates packed up their textbooks and were about to leave. The instructor walked in with a woman who looked like a reporter and a man carrying a camera.
As soon as the counselor came in, he waved to Lin Mai: "Classmate Lin Mai, the TV reporter wants to interview you, please cooperate."
Hearing this, the students all looked at Lin Mai.
Everyone was not in a hurry to go to the cafeteria to cook, waiting to watch Lin Mai being interviewed.
These days, being interviewed by a television station is a big deal.
Lin Mai looked puzzled and asked the reporters and photographers who came up to him: "I wonder what you want to interview me about?"
The reporter smiled very kindly: "I just wanted to interview you about how you came up with the idea of taking over a state-owned food market that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it got off to a good start."
It turned out that I was interviewing her for this purpose.
Lin Mai had no idea that a small vegetable market would attract the attention of CCTV.
However, she would not miss the opportunity to advertise for Fuduoduo.
In an interview, Lin Mai said that she followed the trend and said that the reason why she took over the state-owned food market that was on the verge of bankruptcy was for the sake of local residents and the laid-off workers who worked hard at the original food market.
If that food market closes, nearby residents will have to travel several more stops to buy food, which is very inconvenient.
Moreover, it will be difficult for those employees who have worked honestly and well to find another job after being laid off.
By taking over the state-owned food market, she could give those employees who worked conscientiously a chance to get re-employed, and she could also contribute a small amount to society.
Balabala said a lot of what reporters wanted to hear. Of course, he did not forget to praise the benefits brought by reform and opening up to private enterprises and ordinary people.
The female reporter was very satisfied with the interview and shook hands with Lin Mai vigorously before leaving.
Lin Mai specifically asked for the female reporter's business card and found out her full name, Peng Anna, a very foreign name in the 1980s.
