Shaking off that scumbag, she turned around and waved goodbye to Jia Yuanliang, "Brother Jia, don’t worry. The day your brother comes back and opens the Bun Shop, I’ll join in the fun."
Jia Yuanliang smiled, nodded, and waved back, only feeling puzzled after she left.
The two didn’t exchange contact information, so even if his brother opened the Bun Shop, how would she know the opening day?
Still, he felt that Lin Chuxia was a generous and straightforward girl; she wouldn’t let anyone’s words fall to the ground and cause them to lose face.
On the way back, Lin Chuxia still found the matter funny, "All he wanted was a contact method, not anything else. Are you really being too stingy?"
Qin Yang naturally responded, "Didn’t you give him the address of the Bun Shop? If he still feels puzzled, that’s his own folly, no one else’s fault."
At this point, Qin Yang also had doubts, "Are you really planning to take on apprentices? I remember there’s a secret recipe in your bun fillings."
Although they were unsure if it was handed down from the Imperial Chef, that secret recipe indeed made their buns taste unique. Wouldn’t teaching others affect their Bun Shop business?
As the old saying goes, teaching your apprentices might starve the mentor.
Lin Chuxia nodded, "I do have that intention. It’s not exactly taking on apprentices, I just want to expand Qin’s Buns Shop. I’ve thought about opening branches all over the country, but I can’t do it alone, so I thought of franchising."
"Franchising?" This was a new term for Qin Yang.
Not just for Qin Yang, but for anyone at this time, the term was very unfamiliar.
Lin Chuxia briefly explained the franchising model to him, and the franchise stated by her was different from the franchises of later generations.
After all, people’s standard of living was limited at this time, even if they saved money to start a business, they couldn’t afford the high franchise fees.
Risking the entire family fortune on an insubstantial business wouldn’t work in this era.
Thus, she made some modifications in this part, but whether it would work or not would have to wait until Jia Yuanliang’s brother arrived.
Qin Yang, however, saw the potential in her plan, his eyes shining, "Wife, how did you come up with this? I think it can work. Even if the other party hesitates, as long as they see the operation of our Bun Shop, they’ll be interested."
Although he was far in the Northwest, after the Bun Shop opened, his wife often wrote to him, and he knew the Bun Shop did very well.
Especially after they opened a branch. It seemed like his brother-in-law was worried he wouldn’t understand Lin Chuxia’s capabilities, every letter elaborately praised Lin Chuxia and their Bun Shop.
He felt compelled to report how many customers the Bun Shop had daily, how many buns were sold, and how much money was made.
Before knowing Lin Chuxia, he had no real concept of money, as long as he had enough to eat and spend.
Now constantly reminded by his brother-in-law, he felt his salary was far from being comparable to his wife’s, and that he needed to work harder. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Back in the dormitory, Lin Chuxia started helping Qin Yang pack his luggage.
This trip home to recover from an injury coincided with the Spring Festival, so he planned to stay home for a while.
His arm was touched by a man, "This is for you."
Lin Chuxia turned around, and saw Qin Yang holding a thick envelope, guessing what was inside from its shape.
