225 The Decision to Open a Dessert Shop
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “That won’t be the case, Mother. We sell it to rich people, to those old country gentlemen’s houses. Therefore, by setting the price higher, not only will we not lose money, but we will also earn quite a bit.”
Mother Jian was still a little doubtful. “But the old country gentlemen’s houses all have a cook who specializes in making pastries, so why would they buy our food?”
“That’s why we need to advertise. Those country gentlemen and ladies like to eat in big restaurants. We can sell the pastries to those restaurants. After the old men and ladies eat them, they will feel that they are delicious. We will say that these pastries and desserts are sold in our shop, and they will definitely buy them.”
Although Mother Jian did not know what advertising was, she felt that it was a good idea. She said, “Big Sister is really smart! Then I will do as you say, okay?”
Jian Qingqing nodded. “There’s no rush. You should learn how to do it first. After you learn it well, I’ll give you money to buy a shop and open a shop.”
“Ah?” Mother Jian looked at her in a daze. “You can buy the shop. I won’t buy it. If you don’t buy it well, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”
Jian Qingqing encouraged her, “Mother, you have to believe in yourself! You’re great! You haven’t done it yet, so don’t expect such bad results. If the shop does well, and the opening is very smooth, and you earn a lot of money, then you’ll be able to earn your own money in the future! You’ll be the only aunt in the village that earns her own money! This is much better than those old masters’ wives!”
Mother Jian was moved by her daughter’s words. She really wanted to earn money on her own, but she did not dare to go.
Father Jian said from the side, “Darling, you can do it! I’ll support you! When the time comes, I’ll go buy it for you!”
Father Jian was also tempted. Although his daughter had given them a lot of money every month after earning money, he had yet to earn big money himself. He rarely went out to buy things in the village every day.
Jian Qingqing glanced at her father and said, “Father, I asked Mother to do this. What are you doing here? If you want to buy a shop, you can do it yourself.”
“Oh,” said Jian Dalang, a little upset. He was a little bitter and jealous. He felt that his daughter was closer to her mother than to him.
Jian Qingqing did not know what her father was thinking, at this moment, she kept encouraging her mother, “Mother, you can go and try! If you win, it’s on you. If you lose, it’s on me. Moreover, I won’t let you do it alone. I will also help you by the side.”
Old Man Jian also said in a deep voice, “Mother Jian, you can go and do it. You don’t have to worry about things at home. I can still do it.”
Xiao Hu and Xiao Lang also advised, “Mother, just go and open a shop! When you open a shop, won’t we be able to eat whatever we want? Sister is too busy. If we wait for her to cook, we’ll have to wait for a long time.”
Mother Jian hit the two of them. “Why are you both thinking about eating? Even if I open a shop, I won’t let you guys eat. It’s used to earn money. How much money will we lose if you guys eat everything?”
However, Mother Jian was getting more and more tempted by her words. She looked at Jian Qingqing’s sincere gaze, gritted her teeth, and replied, “Alright! I’ll open a shop!”
She also wanted to earn money like her daughter. This year, her daughter had been earning money for them to spend, but they had never done anything for her. They owed her too much. When she could earn money, her daughter would be able to relax a little.
Jian Qingqing said happily, “Sure! Mother, I’ll start teaching you how to make desserts tomorrow! Once you learn how to make desserts, you can open a shop!”
