"You have seen our dining standards. Because they are children in our family area, they don't have to pay. If they come to eat from outside, they have to pay according to our charging standards." Zhao Qinglan said.
"Auntie, it should be." Cheng Tao agreed.
"A month's worth of lunch is included. It costs fifteen yuan and five yuan in food stamps. If you think it's okay, then you can continue to come here."
At first glance, this price may sound inexpensive, with a meal costing less than one yuan.
But now many workers earn a monthly salary of less than 100 yuan.
Of course, Cheng Tao doesn't care about this. Apart from a few meals at other people's houses occasionally, he spends more than this amount every month.
Yes, Zhao Qinglan planned to start a small dining table business, but she never thought about how much money she would make from it.
After all, in this era and in a city like the northwest, how many families can allow their children to spend money to eat at small tables outside.
She just added some revenue to the store.
Another reason is that she also finds it a bit inconvenient for her children to come to the kitchen to eat every day.
She was just thinking about renting a house nearby. Originally, she thought that she would just pay for the rent and treat it as a little benefit for the children in the family area.
But her son's words last night gave her an idea.
She didn't ask how much money she could make from running this small dining table. She was very satisfied if the rental costs and other expenses could be deducted.
Of course, she would also be happy if she could really make some money.
"No problem, Auntie, I'll pay it now." Cheng Tao started to pay as soon as he said that, as if he was afraid that Zhao Qinglan would regret it.
Who would spend so much money on such a young child to go to school?
Like Da Wa, he has saved a lot of his New Year's money and pocket money, but he only has one or two yuan on him at ordinary times.
Seeing Cheng Tao's behavior, Zhao Qinglan felt more and more that his family was either rich or noble.
After collecting Cheng Tao's money, Zhao Qinglan called her son to ask.
Da Wa wandered around the class for a while, and besides Cheng Tao, there were two or three students who directly expressed their interest.
This is just the beginning for their class, maybe there are others for other classes.
Cheng Tao heard the conversation between mother and son, and when he returned to school with Da Wa and the others, he took the initiative to ask for permission.
"Li Yansen, don't worry, I told them we had a great meal, and there will definitely be many people who want to come."
"Thank you." Da Wa said.
They walked back to the classroom together, arm in arm, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in the class.
Thinking of how the eldest son left like that yesterday, I felt that the eldest son didn't take their words to heart at all.
Several people gathered together and discussed quietly.
Well, Da Wa really didn't take them to heart.
In terms of age, the eldest child is actually the youngest in the class. Most of the students are 13 or 14 years old, but the eldest child is mentally more mature than them.
Maybe it was his childhood experience, maybe it was because he had traveled to many places with Zhao Qinglan and seen the world over the years. In short, the provocations and warnings of those few people seemed very childish in the eyes of the big boy.
This is probably why Cheng Tao, who is also precocious, finds Da Wa pleasing to the eye and wants to be friends with him.
The episode at the small dining table didn't take up much of Zhao Qinglan's mind.
Her self-study course is about to end, and she will get the certificate after passing the exam. She has been busy with this matter these days.
After getting the certificate, she can communicate with Zhang Yuduo and cooperate in their business.
Soon, in addition to Cheng Tao, there were more than a dozen students from all classes in the district middle school who wanted to join the military and civilians to pay for meals.
Cheng Taoke played a big role in this. According to his description, the meals served by the military and civilians were delicious and cost-effective.
Naturally, these dozen students all come from well-off families, and their parents also went to the Military-Civilian Joint Institute to inspect the program together.
But not every student is like Cheng Tao who can make decisions on his own and still carry so much money with him.
At first glance, some parents were dissatisfied when they saw that their children were eating in the joint kitchen.
However, these parents were quickly taken to the next door by Zhao Qinglan, who told them that this would be the place where their children would eat in the future. They could change the place only after the painting was finished and the place was tidied up. Naturally, the picky parents were satisfied.
After a dozen students started eating here, they felt that the money paid was not a loss.
When they get home, their parents will also ask what they had for lunch, and after hearing the children's descriptions, they feel good about it.
In this era when information exchange is not convenient, word of mouth is a very important way of promotion.
After Zhao Qinglan rented the next door and packed it up, and the children who were eating had moved in, many parents came one after another and wanted to sign up their children at the small dining table.
There are elementary school students and high school students among them.
In the end, Zhao Qinglan had no choice but to expand the scale, and by the way, he also recruited two more military wives from the military family area to take charge of the affairs here.
Because there are many more students in the school eating at the military-civilian joint, Da Wa also gets to know a lot of people from foreign classes and senior classes.
The boys in the class who couldn't stand him became increasingly unbalanced.
But they want to cause trouble for Da Wa. There are always groups of people around Da Wa, and they can't find any good opportunities for a while.
During the weekend holidays, Zhao Qinglan usually goes back to the family area to stay with her husband and children, but now, when the holiday comes, both Erwa and Xiaoduo strongly demand to live in the city.
As for the third baby, he can just follow whatever his brother and sister want to do.
Finally, Zhao Qinglan passed the exam and got her own certificate.
At this moment, she finally became a person with serious academic qualifications!
Maybe after the turn of the millennium, her certificate will have little value, but in the 1980s and 1990s, the various certificates issued by TV and Radio University were still very valuable.
With such a certificate, it will be much easier for her when she wants to do something in the future.
When she got the certificate, the whole family celebrated by having dinner together.
As soon as this was over, she quickly contacted Zhang Yu who was still in the south.
Zhang Yu invited her to come to Shenzhen City to at least have a look at their company.
That's right, Zhang Yu has already established a company in Shenzhen.
To be honest, Zhao Qinglan was very excited. She had never been to the Shenzhen market in the 1980s.
When he returned home and told his husband, Li Huai expressed his support.
"Go, don't worry at home, I and mom are here."
"Why are you so good?" Zhao Qinglan chuckled.
"Since I'm so good, why don't you reward me?" Li Huai blinked.
"What reward?"
"You first tell me whether you agree or not."
"Okay, then I agree." Just a reward.
Well, she was still careless, because of Zhao Qinglan's words, she was really tired at night.
But one person was very satisfied and had a smile on his face when he went to the military camp.
