Chapter 430 Qian Niandi and her brother open a shop
Qian Niandi and Qian Longfei have lived a down-to-earth life in recent years. The siblings work hard together to save money.
Qian Niandi worked in that garment factory for such a long time, and her salary increased year by year with the development of the economy.
Qian Longfei worked as a laborer in a barbecue restaurant for two years. He was provided with food and accommodation, but the salary was not high.
Qian Niandi felt that it was not a long-term solution for the brother and sister to continue working like this.
After Sun Xiaohao squandered all the money she had worked so hard to save, she repeatedly warned Qian Longfei to learn to save money and not spend it recklessly.
She also saved almost all of her salary. Now, the brother and sister have opened a barbecue shop with the money they have saved over the past few years.
In the summer, the busiest places on the streets are the barbecue stalls and shops.
The shop owned by Qian Niandi and Qian Longfei is not big, with only eight tables inside, but there is an open space in front of the door where they can set up an open-air stall.
Qian Longfei is a very smart person. Qian Niandi once told him that after learning the skills, he could open his own shop and be his own boss. Qian Longfei remembered it and studied barbecue techniques carefully while working.
Now that he has opened his own shop, his various kebab flavors are very popular among nearby residents.
Crayfish are also very popular at barbecue stalls, and their shop also offers three different flavors of crayfish.
However, the peak period of barbecue customer flow is concentrated in the evening. During the day, leaving the store empty is a waste of resources.
Qian Niandi was not afraid of hard work, so she changed the store to selling boxed lunches at noon. The brother and sister worked together to cook a dozen dishes, which were placed separately in stainless steel boxes. They pushed the cart filled with various fried dishes to the door of the store and sold boxed lunches for ten to fifteen yuan.
This is what Qian Niandi learned after paying attention to the food stalls on the street.
In this way, their small shop can make two rounds of money a day.
When business is good, the brother and sister can make several thousand dollars a day. It has to be said that as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can earn a lot more than working as a worker.
Qian Niandi thought that when the barbecue off-season came, the store could introduce other best-selling seasonal foods. After all, the store's customer flow could not drop.
Qian Niandi also said to Qian Longfei: "Let's save all the money we earn now, and when we have enough for the down payment, we will buy you a house, and then we will have a home..."
Now that her life has a direction, Qian Niandi is thinking further ahead.
She and her brother have been homeless for so many years, and what they most want is to have a home that truly belongs to them and to settle down from then on.
Qian Longfei is very dependent on Qian Niandi and listens to her.
The history of being bullied in the welfare home left Qian Longfei with a psychological trauma, making him unwilling to get close to Qian Niandi for a long time.
Fortunately, in the past few years, Qian Niandi moved Qian Longfei with her sincerity, making him recognize his only relative - "sister" again.
He himself also cherishes his hard-earned current life and listens to Qian Niandi and does not spend money indiscriminately.
Of the money the siblings earned from the barbecue restaurant, except for a small portion used for daily expenses, the rest was deposited into Qian Niandi's card.
But she was afraid that Qian Longfei would be like Sun Xiaohao, thinking that he had money but was reluctant to spend it on his younger brother. So she would often report to Qian Longfei how much money the family had saved, and repeatedly emphasized that any house bought in the future would be in Qian Longfei's name.
She felt that as an older sister, she had an obligation to take good care of her younger brother, but she never made any plans for herself.
To Qian Longfei, Qian Niandi can definitely be considered a very qualified sister.
She is twelve years older than Qian Longfei. Both in terms of age and the care she has taken for Qian Longfei over the years, she is worthy of the saying "an elder sister is like a mother."
