Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 258 - 258 Revised 258 A Bustling Scene

258: Revised: Chapter 258 A Bustling Scene 258: Revised: Chapter 258 A Bustling Scene During his conversation, he saw a woman in her forties come down from upstairs and scold Zhou Dong, “You brat, are you determined to ruin Shen Zi?

Hurry up and find a girlfriend for your mother!”

Wu Xiaoyu looked up and saw it was Zhou Dong’s mother.

This…

this was too awkward, wasn’t it?

Zhou Dong turned around quickly, put the egg he had picked up back on the plate, and stood up to explain, “Mom…

Mom, I was just kidding…

just kidding…”

Zhou Dong’s mother, however, pressed him down without any discussion, scolding, “You brat, eat it all up for your mother!”

Looking at the big plate of scrambled eggs with chives, Zhou Dong finally understood what it meant to “reap what you sow.” He sat down in grievance, picked up the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth vigorously.

After finishing the entire plate of scrambled eggs with chives, he burped and pleaded, “Mom!

I finished it, can I leave now?”

Wu Xiaoyu felt he was quite pitiful, covered her nose with her hand, and said, “Auntie, he…

he was just kidding!”

“Zhou Dong is an idealistic, moral, cultured, and disciplined good young man.

He…

he would never do anything to harm his health…”

As soon as he finished saying this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

What was wrong with him?

Explaining this to Zhou Dong’s mother, wouldn’t she misunderstand that he and Zhou Dong were together?

Zhou Dong’s mother glanced at Wu Xiaoyu and said heartily, “Auntie is not an old-fashioned person.

It’s okay to vent sometimes, but don’t forget the old saying, ‘the strong bow breaks into ashes in the end!'”

Wu Xiaoyu had long known Zhou Dong’s mother was an open-minded, fashionable, and straightforward person but didn’t expect her to say something like this.

Zhou Dong didn’t feel too embarrassed hearing his mother’s words, just nodded and responded, “Got it…

got it, you can rest assured!”

“Alright, get back to work!

If you mess up the restaurant, there’s no need for you to inherit it in the future; I’ll just hire someone else!” Zhou Dong’s mother said.

Zhou Dong heard this and confidently replied, “Mom, don’t worry, I won’t need to inherit ‘Super Delicious’ because we will soon take it over!”

What the heck!

Did he have to be so straightforward?

Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but worry for him; won’t his parents beat him to death for speaking out like this?

Zhou Dong’s mother didn’t show any displeasure at his words about taking over the family restaurant.

Instead, she laughed and said, “Alright, kid, I’ll wait for that day!

Now get out of here!”

The two left ‘Super Delicious’ and got on a bus to Huilong River Town.

Wu Xiaoyu then asked, “Isn’t your dad worried that we might take away his business directly?”

Zhou Dong laughed and explained, “What’s there to worry about?

There are so many people in the county, our future branches can’t possibly attract all the diners, can they?”

That’s not untrue, but ‘Super Delicious’ is one of the top restaurants in the county.

If Jiji’s branch opens in the future, the first to be impacted will definitely be ‘Super Delicious.’

However, Zhou Shunyi might have long been intending to separate the eggs from the basket.

If Jiji thrives, Zhou Dong can get more money.

By then, their family’s total income would probably only increase, not decrease.

If Jiji fails, his ‘Super Delicious’ will still dominate the county, and the loss of a few thousand yuan will be just a drop in the ocean.

After an hour-long bus ride, they finally returned to the town.

Zhou Dong went to Jiji to manage the business, while Wu Xiaoyu walked home.

By the time he got back to the village, it was already past eleven o’clock.

Most of the women had gone home to cook, leaving only children running around and men smoking on the streets.

Although men also gossip, they don’t ask this and that or probe deeply.

They just greeted Wu Xiaoyu without asking too many questions.

Although most of them were just envious, there were also some jealous ones.

Liu Sheng, squatting in the corner, saw that Wu Xiaoyu didn’t even look at him, and comforted himself, “One day, you’ll regret it!”

Wu Xiaoyu went back home, and seeing his father was not there, he briefly told his mother about the sales of mushroom sauce, then headed to the factory.

As soon as he entered the sauce factory, Wu Xiaoyu smelled the aroma of mushroom sauce wafting in the air.

He took a few deep breaths before walking into the workshop.

It was nearly twelve o’clock, but Li Yujia and others were still making mushroom sauce.

Wu Xiaoyu felt a bit uneasy and walked over to say,

“Didn’t I tell you to finish work at eleven thirty?

Why are you still here?

Go home and eat!”

Wu Youliang, hearing his son’s words, explained, “I told them to go home, too.

They can finish the work in the afternoon.

But Jiajia insisted on finishing this batch before letting them leave!”

Wu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Yujia, who was weighing the spices, and decided not to disturb her.

The few people who were working smiled and said quickly, “It’s okay, it’s no big deal to finish a bit late!”

Although they didn’t get overtime pay for working longer, no one complained.

After all, being able to work in the factory was already a huge favor for them.

After finishing the work at the factory, the employees left.

Wu Xiaoyu locked the door and went home with his father.

At home, his mother had already cooked.

Wu Xiaoyu ate while telling his father about the sales of the mushroom sauce.

When Wu Youliang heard that nearly twenty boxes of mushroom sauce were sold in just one day, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

Twenty boxes, that’s over a thousand bags!

All sold out in just one day?

Large supermarkets are really something!

Before he could finish being surprised, Wu Xiaoyu added, “And that’s just one supermarket’s sales!”

“The Huarong Supermarket is a chain with branches in multiple cities and counties.

Once the mushroom sauce is distributed throughout their sales system, our sales volume will be ten times what it is now!”

Wang Aifeng, who was picking vegetables, was stunned when she heard the words ‘ten times.’

Ten times?

That would be two hundred boxes!

To sell over two hundred boxes in one day?

How much money would that be?

Can a little mushroom sauce really sell for that much?

When her son first suggested starting a factory, she wanted to oppose it.

Luckily, her son was determined and didn’t listen to her; otherwise, wouldn’t they have lost a lot of money?

Wu Xiaoyu listened to his parents, also deeply moved, and said, “Can…

can we really sell that much?

The current production might not be enough?”

Wu Xiaoyu realized he hadn’t been clear, causing some misunderstanding, and explained, “When I said ten times, I might have exaggerated.”

“After all, the supermarket had a promotion yesterday with discounts, and I also organized a tasting event, so we sold nearly twenty boxes.”

“Under normal conditions, it’s possible to sell five or six boxes a day.

With several supermarkets together, maybe we can sell seventy to eighty boxes a day!”

Hearing this, Wang Aifeng couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

Two hundred boxes compared to seventy or eighty boxes was quite a difference.

“Can’t they do promotions every day?” Wang Aifeng couldn’t help but ask.

Wu Youliang laughed upon hearing this and said, “Promotions every day?

How would the supermarket make money?

Selling seventy to eighty boxes a day is already impressive, isn’t it?”
