Chapter 8 Making Money
The more Bai Wei thought about it, the more she felt a headache, she scratched her head vigorously, and saw Bai Su looking at her all the time.
came back to his senses and knew what he was thinking, so he deliberately straightened his face and said, "I'll eat after eating, don't eat now!"
"Got it, Mom!" Bai Su lowered his little head.
Took Bai Su into the house to eat, for the porridge she made, Xiao Bai Su was very appetizing, ate two bowls in one go, and the little belly stood up, and the bulging was very cute.
After eating and drinking, Bai Wei teased Bai Su for a while, Bai Wei gradually narrowed her eyes, now that the family is poor and white, she will not reach out to the family to ask for it. Although this medical clinic is opened, there is only one one in ten miles and eight towns, but the money earned can only barely make ends meet.
The main reason is because they are too kind-hearted, those who have money will give a few dollars, the poor can just take some food, and there are some stingy people, who can afford the money but can't pay it, deliberately pretending to be poor, so as to deceive the past.
After so many years, the hospital can only barely support it, and there is not even a little deposit.
Although she has a medical skill, she is useless now, and she can't get rich quickly, thinking of this, Bai Wei sighed deeply.
When she went to bed at night, Xiao Bai Su kept holding her tightly, rubbing her whole head into her arms, Bai Wei's heart was warm, even if it wasn't for herself, for Bai Su, she had to plan to make money.
Early the next morning, Bai Ying came to her and Bai Su to go home for dinner, because Bai Zhu, the third child of the Bai family, came back from the town vacation, Bai Zhu is the younger brother of the two, and Bai Dad picked it up seventeen years ago, and it happened that the Bai family had no boys, so he simply raised him as a son.
But Bai Su doesn't like to read, doesn't like to study medicine, when he was a child, he was very skinny, went up the tree and went down the river, and made Bai Dad angry, and later dropped out of school at home, followed a group of gangsters and didn't learn well, and was forced by Bai Dad to send him to the town to make money to support himself alone.
There are not many parts of Bai Wei's memory about this younger brother, it can be seen that the relationship between the sister and brother is not close, but it is also, many years older, Bai Wei has been studying before, and he is more arrogant, and he gets along less with his younger brothers and sisters in the family, plus he went crazy later, not to mention the relationship.
However, Bai Su especially likes this little uncle who has a jumpy personality and a flamboyant tongue and loves to tell jokes.
As soon as he saw Bai Zhu, Bai Su ran over, hugged Bai Zhu's calves, and climbed up vigorously.
"Yo, Xiao Su'er is heavy, and my uncle can't hold it!" Bai Zhu hugged Bai Su and said with a smile.
Bai Wei looked at the childish white bamboo in front of her, I don't know if it was an illusion, she faintly smelled the smell of tobacco, as if she was deliberately suppressed and some couldn't smell it. Bai Zhu took a few steps back quietly, and it was Bai Wei's cautious expression that made him a little stunned.
Bai Dad prepared a lot of dishes alone, although most of them were vegetarian dishes, only a plate of shredded pork with green peppers mixed with a few clear shredded meat. Dad Bai didn't have much money originally, and he used to always help the original owner who was not angry, so his life naturally wouldn't be much better.
Bai Zhu ate silently, and Bai Wei took the lead in provoking the conversation.
"What kind of work are you doing in the town?" Bai Zhu had been in the town and should know how to make money quickly.
"I? I work in a friend's factory. Bai Zhu coughed in embarrassment, lacking confidence.
"Well, are there many people setting up stalls in the town at this time?" Bai Wei asked.
"It's a lot, especially at the school gate, the morning shop is the most profitable, and the day is hot soon, and selling popsicles is also profitable. Sister, why are you asking this? Do you also want to make money?" Bai Zhu introduced them one by one, looking at Bai Wei curiously.
"It's nothing, I'll just ask, after all, I also have to think about what I'm going to do in the future, I can't always eat Dad's. Bai Wei smiled.
Bai Ying poked the rice grains with chopsticks, thinking to herself, Bai Wei finally thought of relying on herself, and her family would be able to live a little better in the future.
Dad Bai smiled with satisfaction on his face.
Bai Wei thought of a good way, she could make some simple drinks, but not too simple, not easy for people to learn.
The weather is hot and the heat is unbearable, and students who have been in class for a day should be tempted to have a cold and refreshing cold drink at the end of class, after all, it was her favorite thing to do as a student. Popsicles are good, but they don't have the pleasure of cold drinks.
As soon as Bai Wei thought of the idea, she immediately planned the cold drink she wanted to make - rock sugar pear! rock sugar water chestnut! Sydney pear and water chestnut are also common fruits in water towns, and the raw materials will not cost too much money, and Bai Wei is sure that she can make it delicious.
Bai Wei made a list of what she needed, and it was best to buy them all right away.
There are two large containers for two kinds of drinks, and there seem to be two iron pots of similar size that resemble the inner liner of a rice cooker at home, and they are also equipped with lids, so the capacity is not too small to try.
The second is a disposable bottle of divided drinks, which can be handed over to Bai Zhu to go to the town to buy back.
Bai Wei said just do it, after Bai Zhutuo bought a hundred disposable drink cups. She spent most of the original owner's savings almost in one day, but in fact, it was only five yuan, and she bought ten catties of pears, ten catties of horseshoe, and ten catties of rock candy.
Sydney pears are cooked with red dates, wolfberries and other ingredients and rock sugar, and the sweetness is deliberately adjusted to a moderate degree to ensure that she will not get tired of drinking.
The next morning, at dawn, she made two pots of drink, which she soaked in cold water, and there were no ice cubes at this time. Or Bai Zhu went to find the well water borrowed by someone, and after soaking in the cold, it was just a weapon to relieve the heat.
She was carrying a basket, and in the basket was a pot of drinks, Bai Su held a stack of disposable cups, sat obediently next to Bai Wei, and blinked at the basket in Bai Wei's arms.
There is rock sugar Sydney pear, his mother has drunk it for him, it is very delicious, he will definitely make a lot of money, Bai Su hugged the cup in his arms tightly, and only hoped that he could complete everything his mother explained.
In this way, my mother will always like him so much and look at him so gently.
Before dawn, Bai Wei went out with Bai Su who was still yawning, and had already said hello in advance last night, Bai Wei found Widow Li at the head of the village under the recommendation of Bai's father, her husband died early, and she didn't leave a son and a half daughter, she made a living as a matchmaker, and she was still quite famous in the village. As long as Widow Li comes out, this family affair is basically done.
Widow Li had a small broken tricycle on her feet, just enough to put down those things and two people, because she was an old customer of the medical center, so she didn't ask for money.
Widow Li is very punctual, in the fog, Widow Li stepped on the tricycle and came slowly here, Bai Wei held the child in her left hand and carried things in her right hand, after carrying everything into the car, she said hello with a smile, the two sat in the car, Bai Su leaned on Bai Wei's arms and fell asleep, her little face shrunk into Bai Wei's coat.
