Chapter 204: Chapter 135: The Credited 240,000 Yuan Bonus and Du Enan Visiting the House

"Just a little token of appreciation, you can go back to work."

"Alright, see you!"

The supermarket aunt left, satisfied with two packs of cigarettes in hand.

After seeing off the supermarket aunt, Jiang Tao took out his phone and called his dad, asking him to take a cab with his mom to the urban village area.

Jiang Tao didn’t want to spend too much energy on the Eight Treasure Pickles business in the future.

So, he decided to pass on the skills he had mastered to his mom and dad.

From now on, from pickling to selling the Eight Treasure Pickles, it would all be handed over to them, and he’d just act as a hands-off manager!

Less than ten minutes after the call, his parents arrived at the urban village by cab, and Jiang Tao went downstairs to bring them to his place.

"Son, is this where you used to live? It’s so small, like a prison."

Seeing Jiang Tao’s previous living place, his mom couldn’t help but feel a bit heartbroken.

Even though the room he was living in now had a sunny aspect, the area was still far smaller than the house in their rural hometown.

Despite having spacious and bright big houses back home, to make a living, they had to reside in such a tiny abode in Beijing.

Most of the drifters in the north have to live this way.

Endure the hardest hardships, and you’ll have endless hardships to endure.

"Haha, it’s nothing compared to our big house, but it shelters me from wind and rain, and that’s enough."

"By the way, Mom and Dad, how’s the shop rental near the market going?"

After a laugh, Jiang Tao turned the topic to shop leasing.

"In the morning, your mom and I already signed the lease contract with the market management department."

"The shop is located not far from the exit, with an area of 18 square meters."

"We paid a total of 35,000, with 31,000 for the annual rent, and 4,000 as a security deposit."

Dad looked a bit pained while talking about it.

It was the first time he spent so much money in one day!

"Right, I will arrange the renovation quickly."

"You two can rest assured; this project is guaranteed to make money!"

"With that bit of rent, we’ll make it back in just one or two months at most."

"Once our first jar of Eight Treasure Pickles is ready, you’ll see."

Jiang Tao comforted his parents with a smile.

Left hand holds Brother Tongzi’s optimized recipe for Eight Treasure Pickles.

Right hand holds the [Delicious Pickle Jar].

With Xiao Wang pairing up, how could we lose??

Mom, Tian Xiaomei, exclaimed, "We’ll earn back thirty to forty thousand in just one or two months?"

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "That’s being conservative."

Dad was also surprised and said, "Thirty to forty thousand a month... how many Eight Treasure Pickles do we need to sell? Will there be that many buyers?"

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "It’s the information age now. As long as our Eight Treasure Pickles taste good, the whole of Beijing is our market, and the potential is huge!"

Dad nodded and said, "That’s true... I read online that last year when Zibo’s barbecue became popular, many people flew there just to eat. There are just too many people with both time and money these days."

"Exactly, if they’ve tasted our Eight Treasure Pickles, at least six out of ten will become regular customers."

"After running the business for a long time, relying solely on regular customers will be enough for us to earn significantly."

Listening to Jiang Tao paint a picture of the market’s potential, his parents suddenly gained confidence, no longer harboring any worries.

Jiang Tao took out his phone, saw it was getting late, and decided it was time to get to the main task:

"Mom and Dad, I’ve learned the technique of pickling Eight Treasure Pickles, so today I’ll start guiding you two in doing it."

"From now on, I’ll entrust the entire Eight Treasure Pickles business to you."

"Let’s start processing these ingredients first."

"Alright! We’ll do whatever you say! We’re all ears!"

While talking, Jiang Tao began leading his mom and dad in processing the ingredients.

With all three working together, they were very efficient.

In just over two hours, they processed all the piles of ingredients Jiang Tao had bought.

Then, he began teaching his mom and dad how to cook the sauce, step by step.

After mastering the skill of pickling Eight Treasure Pickles.

Jiang Tao could now mentally map out the process without needing to refer to his previously recorded recipe.

From around 2 p.m., they were busy until about 6 p.m.

Despite the simple conditions and equipment. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The family of three worked wholeheartedly and completed all the preparatory work.

Tomorrow, they only needed to put the drained ingredients into the pickle jar.

Then pour in the cooled sauce, and they’d be done.

Ring ring ring—

Just as Jiang Tao was getting ready to head home with his parents, the phone in his pocket rang.

He took out the phone and saw that it was Xu Li calling.

"Hey, honey."

"Du Enan is coming over to our place?"

"Alright, sure, you take Xiao Xue to the supermarket first, and I’ll be heading back with Mom and Dad shortly."

"We’ll meet you at the supermarket."

"Okay, bye."

Hanging up, Jiang Tao put his phone back in his pocket.

His mom curiously asked, "Who’s Du Enan?"

"A friend of Xu Li and mine, they’re coming over for dinner tonight."

"Xu Li and Xiao Xue went to the supermarket to get groceries first, so let’s head out too."

Jiang Tao explained to his parents with a smile, and the three of them headed downstairs to leave for home.

Since Jiang Tao had taken Xu Li and Jiang Xue to dine with Du Enan once, Xu Li and Du Enan quickly became friends.

The two almost chatted daily via WeChat, becoming quite close friends.

Living in a big city like Beijing, socializing more is always a good thing.

Jiang Tao and his parents arrived outside the Jingkelong Supermarket near their community just past 6:30 p.m.

He parked the car by the curb opposite the supermarket, and they quickly joined up with Xu Li and Jiang Xue after entering the supermarket.

The whole family together bought meat, eggs, milk, and all sorts of fruits and vegetables, making quite a haul.

By the time they got home, it was already past 7 p.m., and Dad, Mom, and Xu Li got busy in the kitchen again.
