Chapter 42: What Do You Rely on to Please Your Mother?

??“ You wait a while, I'll order a takeout for you, what do you want to eat?" Li Nan locked the door, not worried that she would suddenly open the door, so he slowly found his mobile phone and asked through the door.

Li Tong originally wanted to go in and place an order by herself, but she couldn't open the door after twisting it several times, so she knew that her brother had locked the door: "Then thank you, brother! I will use my mobile phone to place an order, and I will give you the payment link later, you can help me pay it!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Li Nantong agreed or not, he quickly slipped away and placed an order.

After a while, seeing the link to pay for the crayfish rice bowl sent by his sister, or adding a crayfish type, Li Nan deeply felt that he might have to ask his mother to raise his living expenses! Otherwise, if he continued like this, even if the money around him was enough, it should not be enough according to this consumption level.

After helping her pay, she didn't want to look at the hustle and bustle on the Internet anymore, so she turned off her light brain and put it away, and then began to sort out the pile of rare jewelry of poor quality that she had collected over there before.

In order to have a place to put these things, I also specially emptied the 100 or so food boxes that had previously contained various foods.

I found a disposable tablecloth from the outside and spread it on my bed, then poured the pearls on top and began to sort them.

Li Nan didn't know how to tell the quality of pearls, but the size of the color, the degree of roundness, whether it looked good or not, and whether there were any traces of damage could still be distinguished.

This is really a lot of work, tens of thousands of pearls of various colors are piled up over there, and it takes hours to take them one by one. Fortunately, although Li Nan has little patience for studying, he is still quite patient with these things.

The most important thing is that Li Nan plans to pick up some bad quality and not mellow ones, and mix a few good pearls in the middle to give to his mother, and when the time comes, he will lie to her and say that he saw someone selling inferior pearls on the side of the road and bought them at a low price by the pound, and he gave them to her to grind powder to make a mask.

When the time comes, I will find that there are more than a dozen pearls that look particularly good-looking mixed in it, but isn't it just a leak? When she is happy, I will tell her about her old sister's situation and the current difficult prices, and so on, but she will have to increase her living expenses.

While thinking about this, Li Nan was very happy to pick up the pearls, and even laughed out loud when he picked them up, which shows that his brain supplement is really good!

At the beginning, I was still in the mood to separate the good and the bad into several grades. But when I picked it up, I became upset. Directly choose from them and look big, round and good-looking, as for the rest, Li Nan is ready to share it at that time.

Isn't there any sorting technique? It's the kind of method that puts the round and the non-round ones together, and you can separate the round ones with a little shaking.

After thinking of this method, Li Nan stopped picking it up, ran directly outside, found a tool and began to sift it out, and after a while, it was divided into two parts.

One is rounded, and the other is not. The unmellow pile was divided into inferior products by Li Nan, and then the big ones were selected from the round pile, and then separated by color.

In this way, it was not completely selected until more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was not a subdivision, just a rough score.

I found a plastic bag from inside the drawer and grabbed a few handfuls of pearls that had been divided into inferior pearls. Then I found a few small ones from the round pearls, and mixed them with two slightly larger pearls, and only shook them slightly, so I couldn't see it very clearly.

After putting all the remaining pearls in the food box and putting them away, Li Nan looked at the plastic bag of pearls in his hand and felt very satisfied.

At this time, his parents, his mother, and his brother all came back.

"Hey, big brother, why did you come back so late? Didn't you get out of school at three or four o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday?" Li Tong still knew a lot about Li Ji's work and rest time, and asked curiously when he saw that he came back so late.

"Your eldest brother went to help us, how can you two stay at home on vacation and do nothing!" Ji Juan said angrily.

Li Tong was very puzzled, where was her mother angry today, why was her temper so bad, and hurriedly looked at his father with doubtful eyes.

Li Jianguo ignored it, quietly went into the house to boil water, and prepared water for washing at night.

Li Tong had no choice but to pull the eldest brother aside and ask the reason in a whisper.

"In the past two days, the supermarket has been doing activities, and the microwave oven has been sold at a low price, and it is three yuan more expensive than the cost price, which is basically to make a reputation.

Today, a person who buys a microwave oven has to have an invoice, and the supermarket receipt can also be used as an invoice, but he has to have a formal invoice.

In the end, I had to go and invoice him. Li Ji whispered to Li Tong.

"Isn't that just a little more troublesome, just open it for him!" Li Tong didn't know why.

"You don't know, this microwave oven is really sold at a low price, and I didn't plan to file a tax return, if I gave him an invoice, we would have to lose a few dollars if I sold one.

Mom is angry about this, and she keeps saying that she knew that the price would be high!" Li Ji was also helpless, but he couldn't really scold his mother for tax evasion.

"So, isn't it a recipe for our mom to steal chickens?"

"Phew, how do you talk? Can't say it better! It's called trying to save money for others, but you lose money. Li Ji thought about it and said it in the best direction, but he could only go to this point.

"Oh!"

Li Nan didn't know anything about the situation outside in the house, but he vaguely heard his father and mother coming back. I can't live together as a family and never see each other all day, so I went out with that plastic bag to find my mother.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom door, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa depressed, not knowing what she was thinking. Li Nan didn't know why, so he sat down next to her with a plastic bag and offered her a treasure.

"What?" Ji Juan asked impatiently.

"This is the inferior pearl I watched people sell on the side of the road, and I specially bought some back to make a mask for your old grinding powder!" Li Nan said with a smile as he carried the plastic bag in front of his mother.

Ji Juan didn't look excited at all, but took the plastic bag and asked with some suspicion: "You shouldn't be deceived, don't buy a bunch of plastic back, see if I don't kill you!"

"Huh!" Ji Juan originally didn't have any hope, she just wanted to open it and take a look, and then reprimand him for spending money indiscriminately, who knew that after opening it and looking at it, the pearls in it were all real.

It's just that the way it is handled and preserved is very poor, and so is the quality of the pearls inside.
