BXBX NOVEL Chapter 331 - 331 Getting a Certificate?
“Mom, are you serious? Are you planning to make glutinous rice cakes to sell them online?” Shi Guangming asked curiously. “But are they easy to sell? Will anyone buy them?”
Liu Sanying said, “Little Gu, it’s Gu Qingming who said that our family’s baked rice cakes taste pretty good and can be sold online. However, if we want to sell them online, we have to go to the Health Bureau to get a sanitary permit.”
Shi Guangming asked, “Do we have to do this?”
Liu Sanying said, “Gu Qingming said that this glutinous rice cake is a processed food. When it’s sold, it’s also a semi-processed product. This is something that can be sold but you have to apply for a hygiene license to sell it.”
“But our family’s things are very hygienic. There’s nothing unclean about them, right?” This was the first time Shi Guangming had heard of it. Even selling glutinous rice cakes required a hygiene license!
“That’s right. Little Gu said that it’s okay if we eat at home, but when it’s sold online, it’s sold to customers. When it’s in the hands of customers, we have to ensure the hygiene and safety of food!” Liu Sanying said to his son, “Son, do you think we should apply for this hygiene license? What should we do then?”
After all, Shi Guangming had worked outside for many years and had some knowledge.
Nowadays, online shopping was popular among young people. The glutinous rice cakes made by his family tasted really good. Perhaps it was really feasible to sell them online.
Shi Guangming said, “Mom, since Gu Qingming said so, go and get one. Perhaps the rice cakes made by our family will sell well? Then we might make more and more in the future. Then our family might have another big source of income. Perhaps Chunmei and I don’t have to come out to work and go home to make rice cakes to sell.”
If it was possible, who would be willing to leave their hometowns and leave their children and their elders behind to work overseas?
Shi Youliang’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He said loudly, “Old woman, I think my son is right. What if our rice cakes sell well? Therefore, we should still apply for a sanitary license. When we make the things, we’ll get Little Gu to help us sell them online.”
However, Liu Sanying said worriedly, “But old man, what if our family’s glutinous rice cakes are not easy to sell? Wouldn’t… wouldn’t that be a waste of money?”
“I wonder how the situation is like selling things online? We don’t even know how much we can sell every day and how much we have to make every day. What if we make too much? Wouldn’t that be a waste?”
However, Shi Youliang said with dissatisfaction, “Old woman, the things haven’t even started selling yet, and you’re already worried about this and that. Then why don’t we just not do it? We can just plant our crops at home. Even if we want to help the children, we can’t help.”
Liu Sanying was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright, we’ll make rice cakes to sell! If we can’t sell them all online, we’ll sell them in town. Hmph, I don’t believe that our rice cakes can’t be sold out!”
Shi Youliang smiled and said, “That’s right. We haven’t even started making anything. Why do we feel that it’s not easy to sell? What if they are saleable? Wouldn’t we have one more path to riches?”
Shi Guangming also said, “Mom, in this era, young people like online shopping. Perhaps our family’s rice cakes would be very popular? When the time comes, Chunmei and I will go home and help you!”
Liu Sanying smiled and said, “Alright. Tomorrow, your father and I will go to the Health Bureau to ask about this sanitary permit. Get it done as soon as possible.”
After the couple put down the phone, Liu Sanying looked at Shi Youliang and said with a smile, “Old man, if our rice cakes sell well, shouldn’t we build a workshop?”
Shi Youliang said in amusement, “The things haven’t even started selling yet, and you’re already planning to build a workshop?”
“Let’s make plans first!” Liu Sanying smiled.
Similarly, another family in Stoneback Village wanted to make deep-fried rice fruits and sell them online, but when they heard Gu Qingming say that they needed a sanitary permit to sell them, they were a little angry.
Now, they were talking about the same thing.
“We’re just selling a snack. Why would we need a sanitary permit? If she doesn’t want to help us sell it, so be it. Why would she find an excuse?!” The woman, Li Qiuxia, said angrily, “We’re just country bumpkins. How would we know where to get a sanitary permit? Isn’t this making things difficult for us?”
Her husband, Shi Bangmei, frowned slightly and said, “Don’t say that. Little Gu is also thinking for us. Without a sanitary permit, what if the food made is unsanitary and causes food poisoning? Didn’t Little Gu say that if something happens to the food, there will be a lawsuit?”
“We didn’t put any other messy and unclean things in it. Why would people have a stomachache?” Li Qiuxia said in confusion. “Even if they have a stomachache, it might not be due to our family’s food.”
“Alright, Little Gu has her reasons for wanting to get a license,” Shi Bangmei scolded. “If you want to make these things and sell them on Little Gu’s website, then you can do it. If you don’t want to sell them, then you don’t have to do it. What’s the point of nagging here and complaining about Little Gu? If she hears you, you can cry!”
“I… I was just saying,” Li Xia said softly. “Tomorrow, make a trip to the Health Bureau.”
