Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Eldest Aunt Speaks Again (2/3) Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Eldest Aunt Speaks Again (2/3) Firstly, the staff worked for 24 days in August, aning the store was open for 24 days. The purchase cost for inventory was the sa as before—25,000 yuan per day—and daily sales figures ranged between 53,000-54,000 yuan.
Now, i ngzhen supplies double the inventory at a purchase cost of 50,000 yuan, offering a wider variety of vegetables, allowing Fan Tianyu more freedom with pricing. As a result, daily revenue hovered between 115,000-118,000 yuan.
24 tis 5 gives 1.2 million. This 1.2 million is her hidden inco for the month. The remaining almost 1.35 million is the store’s inco for the month. After paying for utilities and staff wages with the spare change, she could take a 30% share amounting to 400,000 yuan.
When i ngzhen saw this figure, she couldn’t believe it. In 2007, just selling vegetables, and she could make so much money? Impossible, right?
She felt she must have made a mistake in her calculations, but no matter how many tis she rechecked, the conclusion was the sa. Now she was really stunned; if she could take 400,000, then Fan Tianyu could actually make nearly 1 million in profit for a month.
i ngzhen waited at ho and finally, close to noon, Fan Tianyu returned. As soon as he walked in, she hurriedly asked, “Do you know how much money we made this month?”
“I made 400,000, and you 950,000—pure profit after deducting labor and utility costs. This is just unbelievable,” Fan Tianyu said, dumbstruck after hearing i ngzhen’s excited words, “What did you say? How much did I make?”
“950,000. You made 950,000. My God, wait, I want to ask you, didn’t you raise the prices too high? Aren’t you afraid of the pricing bureau coming after you?”
Indeed, when i ngzhen sold the vegetables, they were only slightly pricier than other stores. But with such huge earnings, she was genuinely worried that Fan Tianyu might have inflated the prices too much. Could the store stay open then? Wouldn’t avoiding fines or being shut down be most crucial?
“How could that be? Our variety of vegetables is extensive. Yes, the prices are a bit higher, but not outrageously so. Otherwise, why would so many people keep buying?” Do you think the people are fools?
However, this matter indeed caught the attention of the local Pricing Bureau.
Because the business at the Fan Dian Fresh Supermarket was exceptionally booming, and the prices were quite eye-catching, so residents, not able to buy what they wanted, felt indignant and reported the supermarket directly.
Today was still the weekend, and governnt agencies were off work, so they could comfortably sell vegetables for two more days. But co the workdays, the situation could be unpredictable.
Since i ngzhen suggested going shopping quite early, Fan Tianyu had called the Fan Family couple early on. Just as i ngzhen was planning to prepare lunch, the couple arrived at her ho along with Fan Tianhua.
“Aunt, you haven’t had lunch yet, right? Let’s eat together.” i ngzhen said while picking vegetables.
“We ca over for lunch. Let do that,” i Yinan said as she sat down and tried to take over the vegetables i ngzhen was sorting. i ngzhen naturally couldn’t just hand it over, “Aunt, let do it. Brother Tianyu said he wanted to eat guobaorou today. I’ve taken out the at but I don’t know how to cook it.” Of course, she and her brother wanted to eat it too, but she was too embarrassed to say it was her own desire, so she blad it on Fan Tianyu.
Fan Tianyu realized what she ant but didn’t fuss over such trivial matters and quickly agreed, “Yes, Mom, I’d really like to have so. Can you make it for ?”
i Yinan pursed her lips, “You’ve already taken it out, how could I not make it? But the bean sprouts you’re sorting are quite fresh. I haven’t seen these before. Are they new?”
“Yes, it’s a new item that Brother Tianyu brought back today. I’m planning to stir fry bean sprouts with chives. It’s quite delicious.” Whether people choose to pick the tiny roots off the sprout tips or not is a matter of personal preference; it doesn’t really matter. But since i ngzhen was sitting down and had ti, she was being more ticulous—a level of diligence she didn’t usually exhibit.
As for the bean sprouts, they were grown from green and soybeans from her spatial mall. The machine for sprouting beans was also available in the Spatial Mall for purchase. However, it couldn’t produce a very large amount at a ti, so the quantity available wasn’t much, and Fan Tianyu didn’t sell them but rather took them ho. Trying different flavors occasionally was quite nice.
With so many people at ho, these two dishes wouldn’t be enough. Fan Tianyu was a standard carnivore; previously, i ngzhen could only prepare these dishes, and without a choice, he had to eat whatever was provided. But now, with i Yinan around, he obviously wanted to pick what to eat, “Mom, there’s lamb I brought ho this morning in the fridge. How about we cook so lamb chops?”
i Yinan kicked Fan Tianyu in the calf, “Didn’t you just order guobaorou? Why do you still want lamb chops? How much money do you have that you can eat like this?”
“I made nearly a million this month, I can afford to eat lamb chops.” Fan Tianyu couldn’t understand his mother’s thinking.
But wait—this was only just calculated, and he had just found out as well, so his parents didn’t know yet.
At his words, the couple and Fan Tianhua all erupted, shouting, “What did you just say?”
Fan Tianyu, scared by their vehent questioning, quickly explained, “It’s the calculations ngzhen did this morning. I made 950,000 in 24 days, after deducting for utilities and salaries.”
It was indeed a lot, but the two were business partners. The three of them imdiately looked towards i ngzhen and asked, “Zhenzhen, how much did you make?”
“? 400,000.”
Not a small amount at all.
The three of them gasped. Can selling vegetables really make this much money?
Thus, plans never keep up with changes. Initially, i ngzhen thought earning 400,000 in a year would be good, but now she has made that in just one month, with another ten months left in the year. The money they’d make in a year could amount to several millions. Naturally, the mindset of soone who becos rich overnight might change sowhat, and this period is the most prone to mishaps. The couple began to worry implicitly.
Not only were they concerned about i ngzhen, but they also worried about Fan Tianyu. After exchanging glances, the couple took a child each and went upstairs to talk behind closed doors.
i ngzhen’s ability to make so much money was her skill, and i Yinan did not covet it out of greed. Nevertheless, considering i ngzhen’s youth, once the couple returned to their room, i Yinan said, “Zhenzhen, your aunt wants to talk to you.”
“What is it, Aunt?”
“It’s like this. Last month, we were still possibly facing hunger, and this month, suddenly, we have hundreds of thousands. Honestly, we are both from poor families; when have we ever seen so much money? I want to ask you, what are you planning to do with this money?”
