Chapter Seventy-Six: Not Playing Cards According to the Routine
After Yu Fugui got down, he began to move the basket.
Wen Xiuyun knew that it was not easy to stir-fry chestnuts, so she instructed softly: "Don't tire yourself up, the people behind are all old customers I have known for many years, and I still have the patience to wait for a day or two, I have already told them."
Bai Lu smiled and nodded: "I'm not tired, Ah Cheng will help me fry it when I'm free, our sugar fried chestnuts have only been sold for a long time, and there is an opponent in the market, our reputation can not be lost, and we have given customers the right to get the goods today, and it is better to deliver them today."
Who doesn't want to make more money in business, Wen Xiuyun is naturally the same, smiling and praising Bai Lu for being sensible.
The two were talking.
There was a knock at the door.
Yu Fugui is still in the yard, moving the last basket of sugar and fried chestnuts, so, who will it be?
The three of them looked out the door in unison.
A woman with a ruddy complexion, a slightly chubby body, strong limbs, and a big belly with one hand, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead that she didn't know if it existed, and walked slowly and very familiarly into the courtyard, smiling at Bai Lu.
"Busy?"
The fifth aunt and Yu Fugui saw that Bai Lu had guests to welcome, so they didn't talk any more, said hello to Bai Lu and left.
The guests finally came to the door, and Bai Lu naturally wouldn't turn them away, not to mention that people still had a stomach.
The courtesy of a chair still needs to be had.
Chen Chunli sat on the stool brought by Bai Lu, feeling at ease, and there was no word thank you in her mind.
Smelling the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts in the yard that had not yet dissipated, and thinking of the purpose of his trip, he symbolically said thank you, "Just finished frying chestnuts?" ”
"It's very fragrant, I don't know how it tastes? I heard Wang Hao say that Xiao Cheng brought fried chestnuts with sugar to them when he went to work, and everyone said it was delicious......
In other words, your husband has given his brother a taste of fried chestnuts with sugar, so there's no reason why you shouldn't give it to your brother's wife, right?
Bai Lu had a signature smirk on his face: "The sugar content of sugar-fried chestnuts is too high, it is not good for pregnant women to eat too much, and it is easy to get diabetes, I usually don't eat much, Ah Cheng peeled it for me, I didn't eat it, and in the end he ate it all."
The corners of Chen Chunli's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that the rumors outside were true, Bai Lu was really no longer timid and cowardly.
It's not the character that was easy to handle before.
Chen Chunli glanced at Bai Lu's belly, and opened the topic and chattered: "Your figure is really good, you are more than six months pregnant, your belly is still so small, you can't tell that you are pregnant at all if you wear two more clothes."
"Unlike me, just three or four months pregnant, my figure has been out of shape with my belly, the whole person has gained weight, my face has become round, and I look ugly in the mirror, I envy you for being white and tender, slender and good-looking."
The breeze blew, Bai Lu unhurriedly gathered her clothes, raised her hand and gently touched her little belly.
"The doctor said that people who look thin will not be pregnant until they are six or seven months old, and they basically can't see it in the first few months, but now it's cold, and wearing two more clothes will cover their pregnant belly."
After Chen Chunli became pregnant, she also heard Wang Hao's mother say that thin people do not show their pregnancy until they are older.
But she is a quick temper, and she has no spare time to accompany Bai Lu here, and it is none of her business to show her nostalgia or not.
What she cares about is fried chestnuts with sugar: "Bailu, I went to the street to buy vegetables today, and I saw Wang Cuihua riding a bicycle, and there was a big basket of fried chestnuts with sugar in the back seat of the car."
Bai Lu: "Hmm."
Chen Chunli said to herself: "I remember that Wang Cuihua came from the countryside, and she doesn't know how to make sugar-fried chestnuts?"
Bai Lu nodded: "No."
"Then who fried her sugar-fried chestnuts?"
"I'm frying."
"Why doesn't she fry the chestnuts herself and sell them?"
"She won't."
"No, you can teach!"
"I don't teach."
Chen Chunli: "......"
"If you are pregnant and do so much heavy work, you will be tired of your body, the chestnuts fried in sugar are so delicious, it must be very laborious and laborious to stir-fry, you might as well teach others to fry them."
"I don't want to teach." Bai Lu smiled very friendly.
Answer that doesn't follow the routine at all.
choked all the words that Chen Chunli had prepared a long time ago back into her stomach, so angry that she almost couldn't sit on the stool.
Learning to make sugar-fried chestnuts will definitely be no fun.
Bai Lu's attitude was so resolute.
Selling chestnuts like Wang Cuihua may still be possible, but then it will definitely have to be shared with Bai Lu.
All she wants is money.
Chen Chunli was unwilling, but she couldn't get Bai Lu to hand over the sugar-fried chestnuts, and there was a murderous and violent Xiao Cheng behind Bai Lu, and she couldn't force Bai Lu to bow her head.
After thinking about it, Chen Chunli could only take a step back for the time being, and sighed with a sad face.
"Bai Lu, the child in my belly is a month older than yours, and I see that I will give birth in two months, but I haven't prepared anything yet. Wang Hao's useless wreck, he has been working with your family Xiao Cheng for so long, he hasn't saved the money, he hasn't learned much technology, he has to build a house and lay bricks, and he has to get the salary after the house is completed. ”
"My belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and I absorb nutrients quickly, but I don't have anything good for my child to eat, my body looks like I've grown around, but I'm actually fat, and the child is born, and I don't know if there is milk to feed it......"
"Wang Hao's parents are not in good health, and they can't go out to work, I can't do anything when my belly is big, Wang Hao can't make money, he can't even afford the child's small clothes, and the child is also guilty when he is born......"
A dead husband is crying and mourning, and life is difficult.
A wreck who scolds her husband for not being able to earn money.
Bai Lu listened quietly, going in and out of her left ear, without expressing an opinion.
Chen Chunli herself was anxious first, and said straight to the point: "Wang Cuihua and her husband died, life is very sad, and our family Wang Hao is also a useless wreck, and life is also not good."
"Everyone is Xiao Cheng's brother, half a relative, Bai Lu, you won't die without help, right?"
"No, it won't." Bai Lu smiled kindly.
Chen Chunli also smiled and said straightly: "Wang Cuihua is so stupid that she can sell fried chestnuts with sugar, there is no reason why we can't sell them, and there are no fried chestnuts with sugar in Qingshui Town next door, I think we can open a stall to Qingshui Town."
Even we used it.
Bai Lu took a leisurely posture and leaned back in the chair with a smile, "It's good." ”
Chen Chunli didn't expect it to go so smoothly, a little unexpectedly, and the smile on her face suddenly became bigger.
"How do you divide the money you make from selling sugar and fried chestnuts?"
"Excluding the cost price of two cents to buy chestnuts, the labor cost of one pound and one dime, the profit is fifty-fifty." Bai Lu repeated what she had said to Wang Cuihua again.
Chen Chunli also bought chestnuts a few days ago, but it was only a few dozen catties, and it made no difference whether they were sold to Bailu or not.
The cost and labor costs are all in Bai Lu's hands, and the net profit is still five or five cents, she is a worker who helps sell chestnuts, and her salary has to be divided according to the number of sales.
Wouldn't it be a shame to sell fewer chestnuts in sugar than a widow?
