Rebirth and Raising a Baby

After entertaining the workers of the factory, it was probably also the effect of this excitement that attracted many people into the store.

Especially the locals in the county who go to work in other places.

Don't look like you are from the county seat, but these jobs are full of carrots and pits, and not everyone can have a job.

There are also those who married out to the county and came back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year.
At first glance, there is actually an additional milk tea shop near the school, and there are so many patrons, it must be a bit unique, many people have entered the shop to join in the fun.

Today is the new menu.

When the business closed a year ago, Lin Ling took back all the previous batch of menus and replaced them with new ones.

The prices of many raw materials have increased during the New Year.

Lin Ling is no exception here, all kinds of drinks and snacks have different percentage increases.

The original Bamao's roasted milk and jasmine milk green have both increased in price to one yuan.

Lemonade and pearl milk tea for one yuan, acacia soy milk tea, and taro ball milk tea have all increased to one yuan and two yuan.

The price of honey lemonade and horseshoe refreshment for one yuan and two has been increased to one yuan and five.

The price of snacks has also increased slightly.

Even so, everyone is well received.

Except for a few young students, who were probably cash-strapped, they hesitated for a while after seeing the price.

At this time, it is the time when everyone's wallets are the most bulging.

Children are also relentless.

There is a very special table of customers, a few elementary school students.

One of the chubby kids probably hadn't spent all the New Year's money, so he generously ordered several drinks, saying it was a treat.

The other children were so happy that they kept calling him big brother.

Lin Ling's face was calm, and he couldn't hide the curvature of his mouth when he turned around.

This is the sorrow and joy of being a big brother, which can only be accepted with pain and joy.

But looking at the child's appearance, he was quite happy.

After all, children don't have the pressure of raising a family.
Thinking of this, Lin Ling felt a little envious.

Probably off to a good start.

Many guests came in one after another.

I didn't question it when I saw the menu.

I don't know if I noticed the price change.

After a busy day.

it's dark.

Lin Ling and a few others cleaned up together, and it was closed.

Lin Chunhua has already prepared dinner.

I brought a lot of ingredients from the village.

Needless to say, chickens, ducks and geese, there are also a lot of pork and fish, some are cooked food, some are frozen goods, and they are all in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator, which was emptied only after returning to the village years ago, was filled again in the blink of an eye.

There are also a lot of pastries and biscuits.

The two children ate so much that they were half full with just snacks throughout the day.

After a while, I disassembled a pork jerky or something, then ate a Swiss roll, then ate two egg rolls, and drank half a can of coconut milk.
That appetite made Lin Ling, an adult, willing to bow down.

In the evening, I simply steamed a saltwater chicken, fried two fish, made a tomato scrambled egg, and a fried vegetable.

That's it.

It can not only finish the food brought, but also hang some fresh vegetables, so that the children will not get tired of eating.

Lin Ling was washing the dishes, and the old lady was not idle either, she was still busy.

It is isinglass.

Just in time for the Chinese New Year, a girl from the village married and went to the provincial capital. She happened to be a dry seafood seller, so she brought a lot of dry goods back to visit relatives.

The old lady wanted to make up for her family, so she spent a huge sum of money and bought several hundred fish glue.

This is good stuff.

Can replenish Qi and blood.

Both adults and children can eat it.

Lin Ling has been eating for three days in a row, and she is a little tired.
I really dare not tell the old lady.

Otherwise, even if the old lady loves her again, she will chase after her and give her a hammer, and then she will curse a few times, "This is a good thing, I don't usually want to eat it yet!"

"Mom, I'm taking Dabao and Erbao out for a walk!"

Lin Ling left a word and ran away in a hurry.

"Hey, remember to come back early!"

When Lin Chunhua chased them out, she could only see a figure, so she hurriedly warned her.

Turn the street.

The two children probably thought it was exciting to trot like this, and they couldn't stop laughing after they stopped.

Lin Ling was infected and also laughed for a while.

When you're done laughing, it's time to think about where to go.

Lin Ling talked with the two babies.

"Where do you want to go?"

"."

She was answered by silence.

And the wind blowing through the streets.

At this moment, besides embarrassment, it was still embarrassment.

Lin Ling was a little annoyed, how could she expect the two children to have an idea!

"Forget it, let's go to your uncle's place and see how their business is doing today!"

Not only the milk tea shop, but also the three lo-mei shops have raised their prices across the board after the New Year.

Braised mei shops are getting more expensive.

Like elbow meat, which used to cost [-] yuan a catty, but now it has risen to [-] yuan.

Braised pork belly rose from one yuan per catty to one yuan and five.

Braised eggs cost [-] cents each, rising to [-] cents.

The lo mei platter is the most affordable, and now it has risen from [-] cents to [-] cents.

On the whole, the price of meat has risen more.

Both the eggs and the platter were pressed, and the profit did not increase much.

The main reason is that the price of pork has risen, so it has risen more.

Now that the price of goods has risen, the price of eggs has also increased to [-] cents each. Lin Ling only sells them for [-] cents, which is already very affordable.

Arrived at the branch.

Just ask to know.

Today's business has indeed been greatly affected.

Some people even scolded her, saying that she only cares about making money and ignores regular customers.

There are also people who can understand and talk about the price increase of pork this year.

Overall, sales have declined significantly.

But the profit is about the same.

After all, prices have gone up.

Fortunately, today is only a trial operation, and there are not many materials prepared, so there is no loss.

For the rest, just give it to the waiters in the store as a dinner bonus.

Now that they were all here, Lin Ling went to the other two shops to have a look as well.

The old store was least affected, and all the braised pork was sold out.

There was not even a vegetarian dish left.

Because many of the customers here are elderly people, either retired employees or veteran cadres.

Not short of that money.

Also understand the truth.

The price of pork has risen, so the price of lo mei restaurants has risen, and they all understand.

Lin Ling was a little surprised, but also a little happy.

Finally someone can understand her difficulties.

She is not greedy for profit, it is impossible to say that because customers like her lo mei, she will raise the price crazily and steal all the money from customers.

Just to do business, you have to cater to the market economy.

If you don't raise the price, then you won't make any money, so what are you busy with?

She is the boss, and the boss doesn't need to be paid, but what about the employees?
Employees need to eat.

She has to pay salaries to employees, pay for water and electricity, and buy materials.

So she has to protect her own interests, so as to protect the interests of employees.

In the long run, it also protects the rights and interests of customers.

Because she has raised prices and maintained profits, the store has survived, and customers can continue to enjoy this delicacy.

Change the angle.

If the price of pork has risen, but the price of the lo mei shop does not increase at all, then the customers will feel that something is wrong, right?

Raw materials have all gone up in price, why don't you go up?

Unless your profit is already large enough to cover the price increase of pork.

But where is the price, unless you use bad pork, rotten pork, where are you going to make money?
If things go on like this, the rest are only customers who are greedy for petty gains.

Far away.

After two shops, there is one left.

Lin Ling simply took the children along.

The new store is just opposite the county government.

It was very lively.

In particular, the staff of the county government also started to go to work.

So today's business is really good.

At least when Lin Ling arrived, the store was still busy.

"Sorry, it's all sold out today, only the rice is left."

"Rice, that's fine too!" The young man hesitated for a while, and agreed decisively. "I'll go to the side to buy a cold dish, it's enough to eat!"

"Okay, then, how about marinated eggs?"

"Yes, tell me earlier, give me two!"

After sending the person away, Lin Juntong quickly hung a closed sign at the door.

I am afraid that there will be another customer coming later.

"It seems that business is going well!"

Lin Juntong was taken aback, and turned around to find that it was Lin Ling, so he finally let go of his raised tone, "Yes, today's sale is good, and they are all sold out."

"That's good, I'm afraid that the price increase will have an impact!"

Lin Ling said with a smile.

"Oh," Lin Juntong said indifferently: "I was not very happy at first, but I explained it later, saying that the price of pork had risen, and they understood."

"After all, they are all government personnel here. They know more about these people's livelihood than us, and they understand literature and ink, which is more reasonable."

Lin Ling nodded, it seemed that she was really worrying.

"It's fine, then you can be busy."

"I took my two little ones out for a walk."

"Let's go back!"

Lin Ling didn't stay any longer.

If you don't go back, it will be completely dark.

Lin Jun thought about it, sent it to the door, and went back.

Just kidding, the boss is important, and the things in the store are also important.

If you don't pack up now, you won't be able to leave when it gets dark.

"Go, let's go home!"

Lin Ling thought that after returning home, he might be called to drink fish gelatin soup again, so he wanted to escape.

Hey, it's not bad.

That is, the smell, if you drink too much, you will not be very happy.
"Mom, yes!"

Dabao tugged her.

The fat little paw pointed to a balloon stall next to it.

The little brothers couldn't move at all.

Lin Ling took a look.

Hey, there is actually a balloon seller.

It's an old man who rides a bicycle.

There are many, ordinary small balloons, small balloons with colorful spots, colorful long balloons, big round balloons, round balloons with words, and even heart-shaped ones.

Others are made of plastic with hydrogen added so they can fly.

The colors are gorgeous, and there are various shapes, which are particularly eye-catching.

Now, Lin Ling couldn't move anymore.

"Buy, one per person!"

After Lin Ling spoke proudly, she looked there first.

"mom!"

"I want this!"

Er Bao pointed to a long yellow balloon wrapped in the shape of a duckling and said.

"Master, how much is this?"

The old man considered it before speaking.

"This one costs three cents."

Lin Ling nodded, "It's okay."

Heck, it's actually pretty cheap.
According to Lin Ling's idea.

It's cheap for less than five bucks.

If it wasn't for the face-to-face, she would have wanted to buy the whole car!

Be the owner of the balloon stand by yourself.

Play whichever you want.

Isn't it beautiful.

"Where's Dabao?"

The second treasure has been picked, but the big treasure hasn't been picked yet.

Worried that he wouldn't be able to see it, Lin Ling hugged Dabao and asked him to take a closer look.

I saw Dabao looking back and forth among the whole car of balloons, pointing back and forth with his small hands, and finally chose a majestic red rooster.

Lin Ling almost couldn't help laughing.

What kind of aesthetics are her two sons!
Could it be that you have seen too many chickens and ducks in the village recently?

"Come here, here, here!"

Lin Ling pointed at three of them.

After thinking about it, I ordered three more.

One for her, one for Chu Yi, and one for the old lady.

One for Junshou, one for Junze, and one for Zhenglan.

That's right!

"All?"

The old man who set up the stall was a little restless.

This is big business!

"mom!"

Dumbfounded, Er Bao tugged on her sleeve and screamed.

One for each person, why can my mother buy so many?
"Take them all down!"

Lin Ling spoke very boldly.

The old man hesitated for a moment, wondering if she wanted to take it down and choose slowly.

After thinking about it, even if you can only sell three, that's not bad.

I was planning to take it home.

Lin Ling took the balloons and looked at them one by one, feeling very satisfied.

"Calculate how much it is."

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Have you ever pumped up a balloon?"

"What?"

The old man didn't understand.

"Uh, that's right, isn't the hydrogen gas in here, it should be finished in two days."

"I thought I'd have a pump so I could go on pumping up the balloons."

I don't know if there is such a plastic pump now.

Lin Ling struggled to explain.

"Oh, I really don't have one."

The old man smiled awkwardly, "Others blow it with their mouths, and I didn't expect to have a pump."

"All right. Then do the math."

Lin Ling thought for a while, and pumped it. It seems that she has it in her space.

I used to open a milk tea shop, and occasionally someone would have a birthday in the shop, so I really prepared a lot of balloons and pumps.

Hehehe, after thinking it over, Lin Ling put a smile on his face again.

"The little Sanmao, that fifty cents, and these few, too. Give me a total of three yuan and eighty cents."

When he finally told the amount of money, the old man was in a nervous mood.

Lin Ling didn't talk nonsense, and quickly counted the money and handed it over.

For shopkeepers, the last thing they need is change.

The old man held the money, and there was a smile on his wrinkled face.

So much money!
He only sold a few ordinary small balloons today.

Unexpectedly, when Lin arrived home, he could still sell a big deal.

"Say goodbye to grandpa!"

Lin Ling taught the children, and after saying goodbye, he turned and went home.

Give the children their balloons.

Lin Ling held six bulging hydrogen balloons in both hands.

I was thinking wildly, with so many balloons, they shouldn't be able to lift her up, right?
After rejecting this idea.

Another idea popped up in my head.

Six balloons are not enough, so how many hydrogen balloons are needed to lift a person into the air?
The three of Lin Ling who came home in this style naturally received loving greetings from their family members.

"Why do you buy so many balloons?"

"Improper to eat or drink!"

The old lady's consumption concept is very simple.

Spending on eating and drinking is a must.

But anything else is a waste of money.

In her eyes, Lin Ling was a waste of money.

"Ahem, Dabao and Erbao both said they want to buy balloons."

The rest, you make up your own brains.

"Come on, one per person!"

Lin Ling handed out the balloons one by one.

Even the reluctant old lady held a red double happiness balloon in her hand.

This scene, don't mention how funny it is.

Dabao and Erbao laughed happily.

Lin Ling also covered her mouth and smiled.
