"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"I saw one next to the pastry shop today that looks like yours, and at first I thought you had moved the place!" Da Zhuang peeled the sweet potatoes and ate them, and said to Sun Chen, "Ah Chen, that person also sells roasted sweet potatoes, and the business thief is good, you say he is too unauthentic, right?" I was so angry that I scolded him at the time, if Xiaoqiu hadn't stopped me, I would have kicked him on the stove! ”

"Oh, is it? Someone sells roasted sweet potatoes like my stove? ”

Sun Chen's reaction was surprisingly calm, but he was so angry that he couldn't do it.

"Well, I mean, why are you still acting like you're nobody? Why aren't you angry when someone robs you of your business? ”

"Da Zhuang, you are good for me, I naturally know." Sun Chen reassured him, "But I can't be the only one selling roasted sweet potatoes in this market forever." It's not him, it's someone else. ”

"But it's obviously a method you came up with by yourself~" Da Zhuang was even more angry than he was bullied by others, and he didn't even feel the sweet potato he was eating in his mouth as good as before.

"Hehe, this is not something difficult to make, the people who come to me to buy sweet potatoes take a second look, maybe they can make it when they go back." Sun Chen had already noticed a few days earlier, when someone came to buy sweet potatoes, he looked left and right, and specially asked Sun Chen to open the door of the stove and pick sweet potatoes from the hearth.

Who is that person, Sun Chen also guessed a seven. Eight points, it should be him.

"Actually, if you're willing to do it, the next person I want to buy sweet potatoes the most can be you."

"What do you say! I'm not going to compete for my brother's business! Da Zhuang seemed to have been insulted, and his face turned red.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, that's what I said, you wait for me here for a while, let's go back together."

After Sun Chen sold the roasted sweet potatoes in the hearth, he put everything into the small warehouse.

When he and Da Zhuang went to the meat stall in Pork River, they saw him come forward to greet Sun Chen with some sneering, "Brother Ah Chen, come here to buy meat?" ”

"Well, Brother Jiang, please chop a few pork ribs for me, so I can take them back to make sweet and sour pork ribs to eat." Sun Chen's face was as usual, "Weigh me another pound of pork belly and use it for dumplings." ”

The movements on Pork Jiang's hands did not stop, and after weighing the meat, he quickly stomped on the ribs for Sun Chen, wrapped them in oiled paper and handed them to him, "Go back so early today~"

"Well, you can't just leave your family all day without time and leave a little early when you're not busy."

"Ah, Ah Chen, that, your sister-in-law is idle at home all day and has nothing to do, I'll just, I set up a stall for her next to the pastry shop, you won't be angry, right?!" Pork Jiang seemed to be a little cramped and uneasy, "Brother Meat won't charge you money this time, just take it, just treat it as Brother and make amends to you." ”

"How's that going to work? It's natural to pay for things, and it's useless, so how can I ask for your things casually? Sun Chen took out the copper plate and handed it to Pork Jiang, "Besides, my sister-in-law is selling roasted sweet potatoes, whoever wants to sell anything is personal freedom, how can I have the ability to take care of it?" I say that I am like the overlord of our place, and if this word spreads, it will bring trouble to me. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang, sister-in-law can sell if she wants to, let's rely on our own abilities, right?" Sun Chen smiled at the pork river, picked up the pork and pork ribs and left.

As for what the people behind him say, he won't care.

"So you know it's him~" Da Zhuang was angry, "It's a shame that we usually take care of his business, it's really insidious!" ”

"Da Zhuang, let's dissipate our anger, where is this? If it's such a trivial matter, you can't stand it, and there will be times when you get angry in the future. ”

The freshness of the gloves has passed, and in a few days, the market should be full of counterfeits, and he can't stand it anymore.

……

Back at home, Sun Chen took something from his house, called his sister Erniu, and went to his house with Da Zhuang.

After handing over the ribs and pork to Erniu and Yanzi to do, Sun Chen dragged Aunt Zhuzi into Da Zhuang's room.

"What's the matter, talk about it when you can't eat yet?" Aunt Zhuzi wiped her hands with her apron, "I don't feel at ease if I let the two of them adjust the stuffing." ”

"Oh, auntie, they have to learn it by themselves! You haven't let go, how can they learn? Sun Chen is helpless, even if he is capable, will adults feel that their children have not grown up yet, and they are reluctant to let them go?

"I called you here to settle the score." Sun Chen took out a pen and paper for keeping accounts, and a large cloth bag filled with silver and copper plates. "I'm afraid you won't understand, let Da Zhuang help you remember something."

"Hey, what did I think, Ah Chen, can you still give my mother a few pennies less? I went out, and the money in it wasn't mine anyway. As soon as Da Zhuang heard this, he was about to get up and leave.

"Don't, Da Zhuang, I won't pit Aunt Zhu, but there's no harm in listening to it in front of you, right? Let your elm-bumpy head spin around! Sun Chen laughed, as he wished, seeing Da Zhuang jumping to his feet because of his anger, but still taking the coke that he had no way to.

"That's it, you listen too, and learn a little bit from Ah Chen!" Aunt Zhu mended the knife on the side, so that Sun Chen's laughter could not be held back any longer, and he covered his stomach and laughed happily.

"Ah Chen, have you had enough fun?!" Da Zhuang gritted his teeth and looked at him suspiciously.

Sun Chen finally put away his smile, cleared his throat, looked at the account book seriously and began to report to Aunt Zhuzi: "Auntie, during this time, we have made a total of 6,572 pairs of gloves, of which 3,400 pairs are made by Aunt Fennel and Aunt Qingyun's mother's family, and they have all been paid. ”

"Counting the wages given and the cost of raw materials, we have spent a total of sixteen taels and four hundred and fifty yuan."

"So many?" Aunt Zhu was obviously taken aback. "I only took out five taels of silver, and you took the rest of the money?"

"I didn't take out that much," Sun Chen smiled, "We didn't pay the wages at the beginning, but the merchant Yang took the goods from here with cash, and I waited for the payment and put some of it in." ”

"Together with the gloves I took out from home and sold, a total of 6,460 pairs of gloves were sold, and I received a payment of 32,2030 yuan. I kept the remaining ninety-two pairs of gloves and deducted the payment from the second girl's salary. ”

"You and Yanzi made two thousand two hundred pairs of gloves, and the salary is six taels plus six hundred wen, and the salary of the second girl minus the rest of the gloves is two taels plus five hundred wen."

"Having said so much, you just tell me how much money we have left to divide it, so many numbers, I feel dizzy when I hear it~" Aunt Zhu interrupted Sun Chen's accounting, "It's not that I can't trust you." ”

"Even if my aunt can trust me, I have to report the account of the newspaper again~" Sun Chen smiled, "Okay, I'll just say the general ledger, we still have sixteen taels and seven hundred and fifty dollars left this time, and after removing the capital of ten taels of silver, we can only divide the six taels more, and each family only has a mere three taels of silver plus three hundred and seventy-five dollars to divide." ”

In the end, Sun Chen actually felt very depressed, and he worked together for a month and a half, only three taels of silver for his hard work!
