Chapter 185 Timing
Chen Yuan then asked, "Sister Zhang, do you know how good the food is at her house? Eggs, cold noodles, and stuff like that."
"I know that. The scallions he used were local small scallions, which were washed very clean. The cold noodles also seemed to be hand-cut by him; he didn't use semi-finished products. The eggs were also bought from the supermarket."
Given her well-known warm-heartedness, understanding these things is already within Zhang Liping's scope of responsibility.
Zhang Liping didn't react at first, only realizing what was happening after she finished speaking.
"What? You...you don't have any ulterior motives, do you?"
"A little bit."
"Oh, it's great to have your help. I was just telling my husband yesterday that hot food like grilled cold noodles isn't really appropriate for this hot weather. It's okay to eat it at night, but not many people would eat it at noon."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly; Zhang Liping did have a good business sense.
"That's right, Sister Zhang, you're right. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we can't keep up with these hot things. Besides, I usually only open for the morning. There aren't many people here in the afternoon and evening."
"That's right, we're all worried sick about her."
Chen Yuan quickly came up with an idea.
"Sister Zhang, I actually have an idea. What do you think? I have a recipe for traditional plum juice. It's refreshing and helps to cut through the greasiness and dryness. It's also icy cold, making it perfect for drinking at this time of year."
"I'll give him the recipe, and she can slowly cook it at home. When she sets up her stall, she can eat it with grilled cold noodles, which is a perfect hot and cold combination."
"Even if you don't want to buy grilled cold noodles, buying a cup of plum juice is good too. Plum juice has low cost and high selling price. If you get the proportions right, you can make a lot of money."
Zhang Liping paused for two seconds, then smiled, her whole being radiant.
"Oh, Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so kind! That's great, that's great, we were just wondering how to help her."
"I just don't know if the child will agree. You don't know how stubborn Xia is!"
Chen Yuan had already considered this issue when he raised it, he said.
"Here's what we'll do, Sister Zhang. You tell her that this recipe definitely won't be given away for free, but she probably won't be able to come up with that much money all at once if she buys it. So we'll go with a commission."
"I'll take 5% of the profit from each bucket. If it sells for 100 yuan, I'll take 5 yuan. She buys the raw materials herself. The more we sell, the more we earn. If we can't sell it, I won't take any commission. It's a partnership."
Zhang Liping, a grown woman, was so happy she stomped her feet.
"Great, great, you really have a way! This 5 yuan is such a fair price, I'll go talk to her right now."
As she spoke, Zhang Liping turned to leave, but Chen Yuan stopped her again.
"Sister Zhang, don't worry. I'm thinking of having you guys come up with a way to make a sign for him, offering a discount of two or one yuan on the purchase of grilled cold noodles with plum juice, and making it more eye-catching."
Before Zhang Liping could speak...
The female college student volunteer who had been listening quietly immediately raised her hand.
"Me! Leave the signboard to me. I studied design, I guarantee I'll make a nice and eye-catching sign for her."
Zhang Liping grasped the female college student's hand and shook it vigorously.
"Thank you so much, you're so kind!"
With just a few words, he made the female college student blush.
After discussing it, Zhang Liping hurriedly went to find Xia Qing.
The two of them gestured and then took out their phones to type.
After discussing it for quite a while, we finally settled on this matter.
Chen Yuan knew that entrusting this matter to Zhang Liping would ensure its successful completion.
While the two of them were talking, he had already written down all the details of the plum juice ingredients, the method of making it, the cooking time, and so on on a piece of paper.
Chen Yuan didn't want to personally intervene, as it would feel like he was doing someone a favor, so he handed it over to Zhang Liping.
She can handle the handover.
Chen Yuan figured it wasn't his business, so he packed up and went home.
As he drove away.
Completely unaware, a thin figure was chasing his car.
Until his car disappeared.
Chen Yuan first went to the market to buy some vegetables.
Then we arrived at my parents' house.
He shouted loudly as soon as he entered the courtyard.
"Mom and Dad, I'm home!"
Wang Xiulan thought she had misheard, until she heard the door open. Then she realized what was happening, put down what she was holding, and rushed to Chen Yuan.
"Son! You're finally back! Do you know how worried your mother has been these past two days?!"
"Quick, quick, take off your clothes and let Mom see. Does your left shoulder still hurt? How did the doctor say it? Is it better? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Surrounded by his mother's care, Chen Yuan felt warm inside, and he smiled as he explained everything.
When Wang Xiulan saw the large bruise with her own eyes, she gasped in pain, then gritted her teeth and said resentfully.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Has that driver been caught yet? I don't care how much money he has to pay, he needs to go to jail. Look what he did to my son!"
Chen Da also got out of bed at this moment, walking very slowly.
"It takes 100 days to recover from a broken bone. Why don't you rest for a few more days? If you don't want to work at the shop, then don't. Your health is your own responsibility."
Chen Yuan just smiled; he had another very important matter to attend to today.
He had long been prepared to expose the truth, and now was the safest time.
Chen Yuan helped his parents sit down on the sofa and poured his father a glass of warm water.
"Mom and Dad, there's something I've been keeping from you, but you have to promise not to get angry after you hear it."
"Why……"
"Actually, the injuries on my body weren't from being hit by a car; someone hit me with a stick. However, the Culture and Tourism Bureau considered that the impact was quite serious, so they asked me to change my story."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiulan was first taken aback, and then she stood up abruptly.
"What?! Someone beat you up? Who beat you up? Which bastard did it?! Why didn't you say so sooner! Has that bastard been caught yet?!"
"Actually, you all know the people who hit me."
"That's Lin Wei's younger brother, Lin Hao."
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if all the air in the room had been sucked out.
Wang Xiulan gasped in surprise.
The surprise and anger on his face were instantly replaced by astonishment, and he spoke with trembling lips.
"What? Lin... Lin Hao? Lin Wei's younger brother? Isn't he your brother-in-law? Why did he hit you?"
Chen Da was so angry that his face turned ashen. He slammed his hand on the table, and his whole body trembled with rage.
"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!"
"Brother-in-law beats up his own brother-in-law? And beat him so badly?!"
"Where's your wife? Doesn't she care?"
