Chapter 772: Going Home....

Ji Yuanyuan strolled around the vegetable section and realized that the price of the vegetables was much higher than before.
However, there were quite a few people in the vegetable area.
Ji Yuanyuan had not paid attention to the shop for a while.
Finally, Ji Yuanyuan found Zhang Kun and Li Xu in a small room at the back.
The two of them were checking the accounts.
Speaking of bookkeeping, there had been a lot of changes in recent years. In the beginning, they used a small notebook to record the basic accounts. Later on, with the help of a computer, they used a spreadsheet to record the data.
Now that technology was advanced, they started to use the system.
The system would automatically summarize and classify them…
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan, Li Xu pushed the presbyopic glasses on her face to her forehead, “Why are you free today? Aren’t you going to class?
Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and stood beside Li Xu, “The laboratory equipment is broken. The teacher gave us a day off.”
“Oh,” Li Xu replied and rubbed her temples as she felt a headache coming on.
After a while, she looked at Ji Yuanyuan, “This system is too complicated. I can’t understand it.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. Li Xu stood up and let her sit down.
“Brother should be the one to do this. He studies mathematics and is sensitive
to numbers.” Ji Yuanyuan joked.
Li Xu rubbed her eyes and smiled, “You, people are doing big things. How can I let you do this for me? It’s just that you happened to come over today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you interfere in these trivial matters.” “By the way, don’t we have finance and professional managers in the shop? Why did the two of you come here personally?” Ji Yuanyuan asked again. Li Xu and Zhang Kun were old, and the company was getting bigger and bigger, so they had long hired professional people to manage it.
“I have nothing better to do, so I came out for a walk.” Zhang Kun said helplessly. “Besides, although they are professional, we’re not family after all. Your mother and I are also worried. Your mother and I will come out to check the accounts every once in a while. We can only be at ease after we check it ourselves.”
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything else. She stared at the system and quickly finished reading the accounts for the previous month.
She was also an layman, so she only knew a little about it.
So she honestyly said, “I don’t think there’s any problem, but when it comes to accounting, I’m not an expert. If you’re really worried, you can find a company that specializes in helping you with the audit.
Li Xu nodded thoughtfully, “Yes, your Aunt Chunli told me some time ago that it’s best to find a professional company. With a third-party company supervising, the accounts would be more transparent. We don’t lack that bit of money, but there have been too many things to do during this period of time.
We haven’t had the time to discuss it yet.”
After checking the accounts, Li Xu and Zhang Kun brought Ji Yuanyuan out of the supermarket.
The two of them had originally planned to go to other supermarkets, but now that Ji Yuanyuan was here, they changed their plans and decided to go home. On the way back, Zhang Kun drove the family car alone while Li Xu got into Ji Yuanyuan’s car.
■■The price of the vegetables seems to be higher than before?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.
“You just realized?” Li Xu laughed. “Not long after the supermarket transformation, I raised the price.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully, “After the price rises, does it sell better than before?”
“Of course. Business is booming now.” Li Xu nodded.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it carefully and understood the logic behind it. “In the past, our store was small. Vegetables were fresh and cheap, and the main audience was housewives and old men and women. They knew what was good and what was bad. Later on, the store was upgraded and became an all-rounded supermarket, and the consumer changed. Most of the people who came to this supermarket were young people. The young people did not cook much, so they could not distinguish the quality of the vegetables. They can only analyze it from the price point of view. The expensive ones are good, and the cheap ones are bad.”
“Yes, the price has increased a little, but the sales are better than before. However, our vegetables are worth this price. I went to other supermarkets to investigate. Their vegetables are not as good as ours.” Li Xu said.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, “You’re still very business-sawy. You can always come up with different plans according to different situations. The company is getting bigger and bigger.”
Li Xu was extremely happy to be praised by her daughter.
As the child grew up, the relationship between parents and children changed. When they were young, the parents were more knowledgeable. Every time the child received praise from their parents, they would be happy for a long time. Later on, the more the child studied, the more knowledgeable they became. Soon, they would be more knowledgeable than their parents.
At this time, the people who yearned for praise became their parents. Being able to receive the child’s approval and praise was enough to make parents happy for many days.
-What do you want to eat for lunch? If we don’t have it at home, let your dad to buy it.” Li Xu said.
“I’ll eat anything. Just eat whatever we have at home.” Ji Yuanyuan did not care about food.
“You haven’t eaten your dad’s cooking in a long time, right? I’ll ask him to go to the market to buy some.”
Seeing that Li Xu was so happy, Ji Yuanyuan did not continue to stop her. Li Xu immediately called Zhang Kun and asked him to prepare Ji Yuanyuan’s favorite food.
After making the call, Ji Yuanyuan watched as the BMW in front turned at the next intersection.
At noon, Zhang Kun made a sumptuous meal.
Braised pork ribs, braised sea cucumber with scallions, garlic eggplant… Seeing that the three of them would definitely not be able to finish it, Ji Yuanyuan suggested, “Leave some for Big Brother and Sister-in-law. I’ll send it to them later. It’s not far anyway.”
Li Xu looked at the dishes on the table and nodded. “However, I’m afraid there’s not enough rice. Why don’t…”
-It’s okay. Take out the rice and I’ll stew it in another pot. It’ll be done in twenty minutes. It’ll be done very quickly.” Zhang Kun quickly said.
When Li Xu heard this, she quickly scooped out all the rice from the rice cooker.
“You should be free. Later, we’ll send some to Zi’ang. This child hasn’t been home for a long time. We didn’t know what he’s eating outside.” Li Xu suggested.
“I understand,” Zhang Kun replied from the kitchen.
After the rice was cooked, Li Xu had already taken out all the dishes for the three of them.
Ji Yuanyuan called the three of them separately and told them not to have lunch.
Zhang Kun had indeed cooked quite a lot of food. Other than the food left for Ji Zixuan, Ji Zi’ang, and Huang Weiwei, the three of them had not finished the rest.
After they finished eating, the rice was ready.
Li Xu put it into the lunch box.
Ji Yuanyuan was supposed to send it to Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei at school, while Li Xu and Zhang Kun were supposed to send it to Ji Zi’ang.
However, before they left, Ji Yuanyuan changed her mind, she wanted to bring food to Ji Zi’ang..
