Moreover, the Tiger Head Gang does not make a living by extortion. They mainly make money by running gambling houses and brothels.
As for the few thugs today, they are nothing but rogues who use the name of the Tiger Head Gang to swindle people.
Yingbao knew this matter best. In her previous life, she had fought with the youngest son of the leader of the Tiger Head Gang twice. In the end, the two shook hands and made peace and became friends in public.
There is another gang in the county, the Qinglong Gang, which monopolizes the canal transport terminal.
But their gang was very disciplined and only operated around the water transport terminal and did not conflict with civilians in the city.
And my aunt, who has lived in the county town for many years, could not possibly be unaware of this.
I don't want to speculate too much about whether her sudden visit today was a coincidence or something else. After all, she is my dad's eldest sister. Even if she has some ulterior motives, she probably wouldn't dare to do anything too much to me in public.
Jiang Yunniang pursed her lips and said confidently, "Won't others say it?"
Yingbao said nothing more and cleaned out the garbage from the store with Erni.
Jiang Yunniang stared at Yingbao for a while, then turned around and looked around the shop.
After being renovated, the two shops looked quite presentable, but unfortunately they fell into the hands of a few kids who knew nothing. They were really ruined.
"Dacheng, I don't think you need two of these shops, so why don't you give one to Yukun? Yukun will pay 500 coins a month for rent, what do you think?"
Jiang Cheng: "Aunt, I'm afraid this won't work."
"Why not? Your shop has only been open for a few days and you have encountered so many things. If Yu Kun is here, those street thugs will give him some face. Apart from other things, your uncle has been running the business in the county for so many years, who in the neighborhood doesn't know him? Even the second in command of the Tiger Head Gang has had a few drinks with your uncle."
Jiang Yunniang said: "With our Yukun here, such a thing would not have happened."
Jiang Cheng frowned as he listened, "Aunt, do you mean that if we don't let your Yu Kun run the shop, those hooligans will come again?"
"Yes." Jiang Yunniang said: "You don't know, the street thugs in the county are very difficult to deal with..."
"That's enough!" Jiang Cheng interrupted her, suppressing his anger. "Aunt, please go back and don't come here again. We don't rent out our shop!"
Jiang Yunniang was stunned, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "You are chasing me away? Dacheng, you actually chased your aunt away?"
Jiang Cheng frowned and turned to go into the backyard.
Jiang Yunniang was so angry that her face turned red. She looked around, but she had no place to vent her anger. So she shouted, "I wonder how long your shop can last!"
After saying this incoherent sentence, Jiang Yunniang stormed out of the shop and headed home at a brisk pace.
Erni watched her aunt leave and whispered to her little cousin, "Yingbao, what does aunt mean?"
She repeatedly persuaded her eldest brother to give the shop to her son to run, and even hoped that her nephew's shop would fail.
Yingbao thought for a moment and said, "I guess Uncle Zhang's shop has run into problems and is no longer viable."
That's why he decided to take over her shop. This is the only way it makes sense.
Erni suddenly realized and whispered, "No wonder my aunt borrowed money from grandma last year. She borrowed fifty taels at a time. I heard it with my own ears."
Not only did he borrow money, he also cried to his grandmother for a long time, but she didn't dare to eavesdrop.
The next day, the bamboo shop delivered all the custom-made bamboo boxes, a total of one hundred.
Yingbao and Erni began to pack the preserved fruits, one pound per box.
Weigh the preserved fruits, wrap them in wax paper and put them in the box, close the lid, and stick the written colored paper on the lid.
"It looks really nice when wrapped like this." Erni sighed as she made it, "It's Yingbao who has the idea."
"How much does this cost per box?" Jiang Quan asked.
Yingbao calculated and said, "The temporary price is 400 wen per box."
Considering the cost of the frosting, the fruit, and the labor cost, I can probably only make half of it if I sell it for 400 yuan.
If business is good in the future, it won’t be too late to raise the price.
"What about Golden Ear?" Jiang Quan asked.
Yingbao: "This small box can only hold half a pound of golden ears. I will sell it for ten taels a box."
"What? Half a catty is ten taels, so a catty should be twenty taels?"
After Jiang Quan was excited, he became a little worried: "It's so expensive, who will buy it?"
Yingbao: "You don't have to worry about this."
If you can't sell it, you can exchange it with the manager Zhou Mao. Otherwise, you can keep it in the cave. It can be stored for a long time and sold next year. Anyway, it won't be wasted.
The brothers and sisters put all the preserved fruits into boxes, placed some in the shop, and stored the rest in the house in the backyard.
What's more, two people came in that day and bought several boxes of preserved fruits to take away, saying that they were taking them back to their hometown to give as gifts.
Jiang Quan was so excited that he pulled his little cousin aside and asked, "Yingbao, what if we run out of preserved fruits?"
There are only about 200 kilograms of preserved fruits left in the shop now. At this rate, they will be sold out within a month.
"When the time comes, we can go buy some from the vendors. I see the vendors' preserved fruits are much cheaper than ours. We can just package them after buying them, but we must choose those with good appearance."
Yingbao pointed at the packaging boxes and said, "Order another 200 boxes and ask the bamboo shop to weave our store name on the boxes with colorful bamboo strips."
This way, the gift box looks more delicate.
"I understand!" Jiang Quan nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Cheng said, "We will be harvesting golden fungus and snow fungus soon. Why not order some lacquered wooden boxes? They look more expensive and are more suitable for storing golden fungus."
"Sure, big brother, just go ahead and do it. When you order it, remember to write the name of the store."
"OK!"
After the brother and sister had discussed the matter, they began to divide the work.
Jiang Quan went to investigate the market, bought some easy-to-store foods on the market, put them in bamboo boxes and put his own labels on them.
You know what, there are people who come to buy it, and some buy several boxes at a time. When asked, they all say they are taking it back home.
Jiang Quan was extremely surprised and delighted, and immediately started shaking as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and went around the county to inquire.
Bargain with the pastry shop, and put the purchases in boxes and label them.
In the past few days, the store's business has suddenly improved, and dozens of boxes of various snacks and preserved fruits can be sold every day.
"Sure enough, it's different with the packaging. Hahaha!"
Jiang Quan laughed triumphantly while his men kept weighing and packing the snacks.
Yingbao's handwriting is neat and beautiful, so she took on the task of writing product labels and has now written more than a hundred.
Jiang Chengze was doing the account books.
Business has been booming recently, so this cash flow account must be kept, and a purchase account and loss account must also be prepared separately.
At the moment, it is still unclear how much you will earn, so you can only wait until the end of the month to figure it out.
That day, Yingbao was writing labels in the backyard when she heard Erni calling out, "Yingbao, the female patient is here!"
Female patient
I almost forgot that it seems time to change the prescription for Gao Lifan’s daughter Dongmei.
Yingbao put down her pen, put away the product labels, took out the medicine box and put it on the table, then called to Erni, "Second sister, please ask her to come in."
Erni responded and said to Zhang and Dongmei, "Go to the backyard. My cousin will examine you in the back room."
"Yes." Zhang supported her daughter and walked towards the backyard.
Seeing Yingbao, Dongmei bowed to her and said, "I'm here to ask the young doctor to come for a follow-up visit."
