Chapter 1789 Shen Lin's Success Arouses Jealousy

"My sister is now truly the boss of Shen. Her business is booming. There are queues of customers almost every day!"

"In order to cater to the preferences of these office workers, we have now launched three packages, abc. They are so busy all day that she and my dad can't handle it at all. We even hired two relatives from our hometown for this purpose!"

It's been less than half a month, and my sister Shen Lin is definitely talented in making braised food. Because of her good skills and delicious taste, she sold more than 5000 yuan on the opening day, and the net profit was at least around 3000 yuan.

Now, relying on word-of-mouth publicity, the business has spread throughout the neighborhood with its genuine ingredients. On the worst day, we can still make more than 4000 yuan in sales, and the average turnover is stable at around 6000 yuan. With no rent to pay, that's a lot of money.

If you continue like this, you can easily earn five or six hundred thousand a year!
"Let's go and take a look!" Li Xiaoyue rubbed his hands and licked his lips.

"That big table..." Shen Lei pointed at the dish he had just taken a few bites of.

Li Xiaoyue stood up without any hesitation and without any reluctance.

"What's so delicious about this? I've been wanting to try Sister Lin's braised food for a long time. I'll pack this up and take it home for dinner!"

The two of them were now not far from the China World Trade Center. Even if there was a traffic jam for more than 20 minutes, they would still be there. The only problem was finding a parking space. They walked around four or five times before they successfully found a parking space nearby.

The name of Shen Lin’s braised food shop is very simple.

"Shen's Braised Food" is simple and clear.

It's already past two o'clock in the afternoon and there are still about twenty to thirty people queuing up, which shows how popular the business is. There are not so many companies in Beijing that have weekends off, so many of the people queuing up on Saturday are white-collar workers who are tired of eating takeout on a regular basis.

"Look, this business is good, everyone likes delicious food~"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up, I'm dying of hunger!"

Li Xiaoyue looked impatient.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you cutting in line?"

As a result, when the two were about to go in, they were stopped by a slightly bald man as soon as they reached the door.

Of course, "Big Brother" may also be "Little Brother". Wearing a suit and tie with a Mediterranean hairstyle, he is obviously a programmer who works in a nearby building. He may not be as old as Shen Lei, but he looks very old!
"That's right, can you please have some manners?" The other people in the queue also echoed.

"we are not…"

Li Xiaoyue was about to explain, but was interrupted as soon as she started.

"No matter what you do, you have to queue up!"

"Exactly. What's wrong with society nowadays? Young people are so brazen and don't care about order. Do they not have to queue if they are pretty?"

"Uh…"

Shen Lei and Li Xiaoyue looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Puchi~" He grinned.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Xiaoyue puffed up his face and made a gesture as if he was going to hit someone.

Dodge again and again.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop it, stop it, stop it!"

Just at this time, Shen Lin, wearing a clean chef's uniform and a special restaurant mask on her face, came out and saw the two of them playing and fighting.

A strange expression flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much.

He smiled and said, "Hey Leilei, Xiaoyue, why are you here together?"

After glaring at Shen Lei, Li Xiaoyue went over and hugged Shen Lin's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Sister, I miss your braised food!"

"Little greedy cat!"

"Come in quickly~"

While greeting the two people, he also did not forget to explain.

"Everyone, this is my brother and sister. They are busy with business. Come over and help with the work!"

“Oh…” The eldest brother was a little embarrassed.

There were 20 to 30 people lined up outside, and there was no place to stand inside the room. All the chairs were occupied. The two waiters who were hired from their hometown were so busy that they didn't even have time to say hello. They were like emotionless packing robots.

"Boss, I want half a pound of pig ears and pig heads, and a pig's trotter that doesn't need to be cut!"

The sound of customers placing orders forced Shen Lin, who was about to talk to Li Xiaoyue, to get busy.

"Okay~"

"Find a place to sit by yourselves~"

"Sister, I'll go over and help too!" Li Xiaoyue said as she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender arms.

Shen Lei also planned to find something to do, so he went straight to the kitchen at the back. Although it was a semi-open kitchen and he could see the scene inside through the glass, he instantly felt a burst of heat after entering because the two pressure cookers there were working non-stop.

The workbench is filled with a variety of ingredients, and the main feature is freshness and transparency, so that customers can see them as soon as they come in. This is also the reason why Shen Ji’s braised food is so popular!

"dad!"

I said hello to my father who was cleaning pig's trotters.

"How can I help?"

Father Shen used to go from street to street slaughtering pigs and selling meat. Now he has returned to his old business and has taken over the job of selling meat in the store. After all, he can tell whether the meat is good or not just by looking at it.

A man in his 60s seems to have a second spring. He has fewer wrinkles on his face after doing this job. The old man is unwilling to accept the fact that he is getting old and can't stand being idle.

This is how it is for people in the countryside. They have been busy all their lives, and when they have some free time they feel uncomfortable all over. Doing some less strenuous work can be considered as exercise in a sense.

He didn't even raise his head when he heard his son's voice, but pointed casually at the pig ears on the workbench over there.

"You...go put that in the pressure cooker. The ones we made this morning are all sold out. We have to make some quickly or we won't be able to supply them!"

"Okay~"

After finishing the work, I came over and sat down to help. Cleaning pig's trotters is not an easy job. If customers eat pig hairs, they will not come again next time.

As a butcher's son, Shen Lei was familiar with this kind of work and he chatted with his father while working.

"Dad, let's talk to my sister later. If it doesn't work, let's just hire someone in the kitchen!"

"Why hire someone? You have some money to burn, right?"

The older generation is more frugal, so Shen's father doesn't have to pay for hiring someone.

"Old man, have you forgotten your age? You celebrated your 60th birthday two years ago. I asked you to come here to enjoy your retirement. Who would have thought that my sister's business is so prosperous? This is actually a bit counterproductive!"

"I..." Father Shen was about to say that there was nothing wrong with his body, but Shen Lei obviously would not give him this opportunity.

"Don't think I don't know that you secretly apply ointment when you go home at night!"

"Hey, that's all your mother..."

"That's settled. My sister actually meant the same thing~"

Shen Lin's business was booming. Because her house was too small to accommodate her, and she didn't want to stay at her son-in-law's house, even though he had to go out early and come back late for work, she always felt uncomfortable.

So Shen's mother simply moved in with her two children at her son's house, which also meant that Shen Lin would occasionally stay at her brother's house after work.

Na Wei usually couldn't think of it when he was busy, but today when he had some free time he drove here unconsciously. Seeing that the braised food shop was busy, he wiped his face and didn't know what he was thinking.

envy!

envy?

It shouldn’t be like this, after all, this is my wife’s business.

Maybe it’s the dignity of a man!

Na Wei is actually a bit of a male chauvinist. Although he usually seems to be dominated by his wife, you can actually tell from what he says during quarrels, and it is so obvious.

His own company is not doing so well right now, but his wife's company is doing so well. It would be strange if he felt comfortable with it.
