Chapter 173 Food Delivery Business (Part 2)
After successfully delivering the food to its destination, the children did not return immediately.
Instead, they went to the agreed-upon place to wait for their brothers who hadn't returned yet.
When Hua Lichu was assigning orders to them, Xu Ping was worried that his younger siblings might spill things or not know the way, so he took on the two furthest orders himself.
The second son, Xu An, took on the heaviest food order.
The small deliverymen, who lived nearby, quickly gathered together again.
The youngest, Xu Nian, was very proud, puffing out his little chest:
"I sold all the ice cream and lemonade! And I even received 5 little stars!"
Xu Shou bit her lip, her expression dejected: "I can't sell them..."
He only dared to hand the food to customers and didn't dare to promote it at all.
"I still have one ice cream left to sell..."
Xu Nian looked at the passersby, moved her eyes, raised her little hand high, and suggested:
"Our brothers haven't come back yet, how about we sell ice cream?"
After saying that, without waiting for the other children's agreement, he started shouting:
"Take a walk, take a look, there's ice-cold lemonade and sweet ice cream..."
Seeing the curious looks from the passersby, Xu Shou tugged at Xu Nian's arm from behind.
Xu Nian ignored him and stubbornly repeated his hawking words.
She had memorized these words after hearing them repeatedly through the store's loudspeaker.
Gradually, the other children were also drawn in.
A passerby couldn't resist his curiosity and went up to ask.
Several children swarmed around the pedestrian, trying to sell him their ice cream and lemonade.
Perhaps it was too hot, or maybe the children were just too enthusiastic? The pedestrians actually placed an order!
The success of the first order inspired the children and gave them even more motivation!
Before long, all the ice cream and lemonade in the small wooden box were sold out.
Xu Nian counted the money, his face beaming with joy.
Her face immediately fell: "Oh dear, we should have brought more!"
I don't know when my brothers will be back. Anyway, I'm just killing time, so I might as well sell a few more ice creams!
Several children stood in the shadows, craning their necks to look around.
Just as they were waiting and waiting, but Xu Ping and Xu An still hadn't appeared, and they were debating whether to go back and get more ice cream to sell, Xu Ping's figure finally came into their view.
"Brother, we're here!"
Xu Shou crouched in the shadows, watching his younger sister hopping and skipping in front of him, his mind filled with questions.
How come she still has so much energy?
Xu Ping rode her scooter up to Xu Nian. Before she even stopped, Xu Nian shouted in a particularly proud voice:
"Brother, have you sold out of ice cream and lemonade? I not only sold mine, but I also helped other older brothers and sisters sell theirs..."
After understanding the cause and effect, Xu Ping looked at the others who were listless in the shadows, and then glanced at Xu Nian, who was full of energy and vitality, and nodded with a smile.
Before he could speak, Xu An returned.
"Brother, my customer gave me 2 cents too much so I can buy ice cream."
Xu Nian's eyes widened instantly: "!"
Xu Ping nodded, clapped his hands, and beckoned his younger siblings to him. He then began to check the amount of money in each of their shoulder bags and the evaluations on the papers.
Fortunately, the amounts were accurate, and all of them were 5 stars.
Hua Lichu was a little worried about the children, so she sat in the mala tang restaurant waiting for them.
Upon seeing them return, he immediately stood up.
Although she already knew these children were clever, she was still surprised when she saw the 5-star review on the paper:
"Who... came up with this idea?"
Xu Ping raised his hand: "Me!"
Xu Nian chattered, "Sister, what if they cheat if we don't let them shoot the stars?"
Xu An added: "We are afraid that some bad people will deliberately cause trouble, not saying anything on the spot, but making trouble later."
Hua Lichu gave them a thumbs-up in appreciation.
Xu Nian chattered on and on: "Sister, all the ice cream and lemonade we brought are sold out!"
"so smart?"
"Hehe, not that amazing, just a little bit amazing..."
Hua Lichu gently rubbed Xu Nian's chubby head:
"Here's an ice cream for each of you. Go get it from Aunt Qiu!"
The kids were tempted, but they knew the ice cream cost money, so they shook their heads frantically: "We don't want it!"
"Don't be so polite, you little kids! This is a reward for your good behavior! What do you want to say to me?"
"Thank you, Sister Pear!"
"This is right!"
That evening, when Hua Lichu settled the wages for the seven children, in addition to calculating their delivery commissions, she also included their commissions for ice cream and lemonade.
The children were stunned.
"Sister, we didn't want a commission on the ice cream and lemonade... the boxes were just too empty and a waste..."
Hua Lichu patted Xu Ping's back reassuringly: "I know, but Aunt Qiu and the others get a commission for selling ice cream and lemonade. There's no reason why they shouldn't get a commission when it comes to you, right?"
The children then stopped saying anything.
The children worked diligently and with a maturity beyond their years, successfully delivering each order of food to all the customers.
In the sweltering summer, any young person with a little money will choose to order takeout.
Just as the food delivery business was booming, good news also came from Hua An Yan's side.
Hua Lichu's request to build a factory in the village was approved by the higher authorities.
Not only was it approved, but thanks to Hua Anyan's efforts, certain policy support was also provided.
Hua Lichu and his grandson returned home and rented a relatively remote but large plot of land in the village for 70 years for a small amount of money.
Hua Lichu followed Hua Anyan to handle the paperwork, while Hua Yuanqing led Hua Yuansheng to build the factory.
Hua Antao was worried about her shop in the city, so she returned to the city alone to handle all the shop's affairs.
Even though Hua Lichu was willing to spend money, building a house is not something that can be done in a day.
After obtaining all the certificates, she cleaned up her empty house, hired a few trustworthy aunties from the village, and started production.
But time flies like water, and it's gone in a flash.
With the start of the school year fast approaching, Hua Lichu had to rush back to the city.
She had no choice but to entrust the task of building the house to Hua Yuanqing and Hua Anyan.
They also invited Yan Dahua and the village chief's wife to supervise the construction, and then rushed back to the city with Hua Yuansheng.
During this period, money was spent like water to build the factory.
She needs to find another way to make money quickly.
The start of the school year presents a perfect opportunity.
On the day she returned to the city, she carried a bag of fruit and went to the home of her homeroom teacher, Qiu Jianying.
Accompanied by her, they went to the vice principal's home, and after some twists and turns, reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.
Meanwhile, under Hua Antao's manipulation, the shop next to the mala tang restaurant quietly put up a signboard.
The day before registration, Hua Lichu gave all employees a half-day off so they could get some rest.
"You should all rest well this afternoon and recharge your energy."
Tomorrow, we have a tough battle ahead of us.
I hope everyone will keep up the good work. If things go smoothly this time, I'll give everyone a bonus!
