Chapter 18: Xiao Chu'er is back
Bai Zhixi listened to her daughter's ambitious recounting of her plans, looked at the three empty cans and bottles on the table, looked at the small book full of two pages, and then looked at her passionate daughter, and it only felt like a dream.
Everything in front of me is hard to believe.
"Are you saying you've sold fifty catties of pickled cucumbers?" Bai Zhixi confirmed nervously.
"Well, we can't get the money for the time being, and the pickled cucumbers in other restaurants will only give us money after they are sold, and it's not expensive for a pound, only one dollar. ”
Bai Zhixi couldn't help but say: "A dollar is a lot, cucumbers can be bought for three cents a catty, plus the material cost, the cost of a catty is at most five cents, so that we can earn at least five cents." ”
Wan Chu'er listened and showed a smile, her price was quite appropriate, but it was not as much as the restaurant, forget it, she went by volume, and won by quantity.
"You're right, in three days, we're going to have at least fifty pounds of cucumbers in sauce. ”
Bai Zhixi finally believed her daughter's words, and she couldn't help but grab Wan Chu'er's hand and hold it tightly.
She said excitedly: "Chu'er, you did such a big thing in one afternoon, why didn't you tell your mother, if you had known, your mother would talk, you are a little girl, still in school, how difficult it would be to talk to so many restaurants."
You can do this, do you know how happy your mother is? Mom is happy not because you sold fifty pounds of cucumbers, but because ...... Rather, our Chu'er has finally grown up, and we know that we feel sorry for our mother, how happy your father would be if he knew......"
Bai Zhixi was a little incoherent, and babbled a lot of words, and now she finally believed that she was sensible and well-behaved Xiao Chu'er was back.
Wan Chuer was not impatient, she felt that her mother's nagging was particularly good, and she also felt that her repeated runs this afternoon were not in vain, and she could do something for her relatives and be affirmed, how happy it was.
It is more satisfying and exciting than her wearing a new dress, and more satisfying and exciting than her beating Liu Li.
"Mom, from tomorrow onwards, you will have to work hard to make pickled cucumbers, and I still have to go to school, so I can only come back in the evening to help you. Wan Chu'er said gently.
Bai Zhixi nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll do all this, I can do it alone, you just go to school and concentrate on studying, but it's just fifty catties of pickled cucumbers, and my mother can make it in two days." ”
Wan Chu'er corrected her: "More than fifty catties of pickled cucumbers, it's better to make some other pickles, such as radish, bamboo shoots, lotus roots, peanut kernels, screw vegetables, etc., I remember that the other pickles you make are also delicious." In addition to pickled cucumbers, we can also make some other products and sell them to restaurants. ”
Bai Zhixi smiled and nodded again and again.
Seeing her so happy, Wan Chuer took the opportunity to say: "Mom, these days, you don't want to go to the shoe repair stall anymore, just make pickles at home, there are a lot of pickles to do, it's best to cook for half a day, rest for half a day, don't tire yourself." ”
Her daughter cared so much about herself that she couldn't dampen her enthusiasm, and it would indeed take time to make so many pickles at once, so Bai Zhixi easily agreed.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Bai Zhixi began to work, she wanted to clean up all the pots and pots used tonight, clean them, and just wait for the vegetable market to buy vegetables early tomorrow morning.
The work to be done is not light, but she will not let Wan Chu'er touch her hands.
"Chu'er, your studies are the most important thing, you have been smart since you were a child, and you learn everything quickly, but since you went to high school, your grades have ...... If you can improve your grades, your mother will be happier, even happier than if you negotiated a hundred pickles. ”
Seeing Bai Zhixi's hopeful look, Wan Chu'er didn't say anything, and obediently went back to the room.
As long as she can make Bai Zhixi happy, she is willing to do anything, let alone study.
