Chapter 45: Drawing Cakes
"It's not authentic, but we are located in a relatively remote area, and there are only these two meat stalls in the town, and if you don't buy them, you can only buy them farther away, which is really not cost-effective, even if they increase the price, we can't do it."
"But because I'm a regular customer, I negotiated with the boss and bought their pigs for three cents and two pairs." Li Mumu said.
"Zhang is going to the town now, and he can't buy a pig from a small stall to go into the water. I bought them all. She can only go to the big stall to buy it. But there are many goods in the big stalls, so many goods are supplied to Zhenweilou, and there are ten pairs of pigs left in the water every day. Zhang wanted to take 8 Wen purse round, but the price of the pig did not rise, and she also thought too much. Li Mumu smiled.
Li Youkang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." ”
"But they're coming to steal the marinade." Li Youkang said again, "Sister, you have to take precautions early. ”
"This is something you really need to be guarded against." Li Mumu nodded.
"Mumu, what are you going to do?" Wang Cuizhen hurriedly asked.
"It's simple, just follow what they said, I'll burn another pot of marinade, put it in the kitchen, and let Li Youcai steal it at night." Li Mumu doesn't even have to guess, this kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs must be handed over to Li Youcai to do.
"I'll just put something worthless on the marinade for them to burn." Li Mumu said, "You can't cheapen them." The real marinade and bone broth will be placed in my room tonight. ”
"That's good." Zhang Caiping was also relieved.
Li Youkang saw that Li Mumu had a response, so he said with confidence: "Then I'll go home first." ”
"I'll send you." Li Mumu said.
went out with Li Youkang and stopped him again.
"Sister, what's the matter?" Li Youkang stopped and asked.
"I didn't think it through enough, but after I left, I thought about something else." Li Mumu said, "Since the Li family is also going to the town to sell lo-mei, and they have thought about stealing my marinade." According to their temperament, they were afraid that they would set up a stall near me to compete with me, and they would see my business taken away by them. ”
"But then they'll see you come to my aid." Li Mumu said.
"I'm not afraid of being known by them." After Li Youkang finished speaking, he looked at Li Mumu cautiously, "Sister, you ...... Don't you want to hire me anymore? ”
"What do you think?" Li Mumu flicked his braincase, "Letting you do it with me is something I've thought about carefully." But I don't want you to be embarrassed at home. If they find out you're working for me, you're making money. Think about it, can you keep the money you earn? ”
"Not to mention this, you have to be scolded by them at home for three meals." Li Mumu sighed, "Think about it yourself, in such a situation, how can you live in the Li family?" They won't even let you come and work for me. Even if you insist on it, they can watch you and not let you go out. If it's so noisy, why do you insist on coming to me? ”
Li Youkang is in a dilemma.
He scratched his head anxiously, he knew no less about his family than Li Mumu.
It is precisely because he knows that what Li Mumu said will definitely happen.
It will be even more excessive.
"Sister, but I really want to do it with you." Li Youkang said anxiously.
Li Mumu then said: "Are you willing to move out?" ”
"Move out?" Li Youkang said, "It's okay for me to move out, but where do I live?" ”
"I'm sure I can't live here. How can there be a mother-in-law's brother who lives with you? Li Youkang said.
Li Mumu smiled: "If you are willing to move out, I will go to the village chief and ask you to rent a house." There are a few abandoned houses in our village, some of them have moved away, and some of them have happened and they no longer live there. It's just that the house has been abandoned for a long time, and there must be such and such problems. ”
"That's not a problem." Li Youkang said, "I have good hands and feet, and I can repair it myself." Besides, I don't have much to do with you, so I can repair the house. ”
"If you live alone, you don't need a big house." Li Mumu said.
It is said that it is a house, but the houses in Yongan Village are all simple and dilapidated houses.
In a small courtyard, it is up to you to decide how many rooms to build in it.
"Done!" Li Youkang said.
In fact, Li Mumu still has her own plans, and she doesn't plan to live in Yong'an Village for a long time.
Since you're going to do business, you're definitely going to move to town.
If the business is doing well, it is not known whether it will move to a more prosperous place in the future.
Therefore, renting a house for Li Youkang is only temporary.
Judging by Li Youkang's attitude, he will definitely follow her out when the time comes.
But this is all for the future, and now Li Mumu is not in a hurry to say it.
She pulled out a purse from her bosom, which was made from rags left over from tailoring.
"You take the money." Li Mumu said, "Take the time to go to the shop in the town to buy new clothes. ”
"It's cheaper to buy cloth, but it takes time to sew it, so you go to the shop and buy two ready-to-wear clothes." Li Mumu said.
"Sister, what are you doing? I have clothes to wear. Li Youkang said.
"Are you wearing your patched clothes?" Li Mumu said.
Li Youkang blushed slightly, and Li Mumu said: "Look at the clothes of me and my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law, although they are not new, they are clean and have no patches. You work with me, and when people ask, you are my brother, but I am wearing a straight dress, but you are wearing clothes with patches, what do you want to think of me? ”
"Sister, you don't have to say this, I know you feel sorry for me." Li Youkang said, "But I can't ask for your money." ”
"Why not?" Li Mumu picked up his hand and stuffed the purse into his palm.
"I borrowed this money from you." Li Mumu said, "You earn wages, and slowly deduct them from it." ”
Seeing that Li Youkang was still hesitant, Li Mumu said: "Youkang, take a long-term view." Instead of dwelling with me here about this little bit of copper plate matter, you should think about how you can help me, help me more, and become my right-hand man. ”
"I'm not going to be satisfied with just opening a food stall, I'm going to open a restaurant in the future, and I'm going to do a bigger business." Li Mumu said, "We will not be in Yong'an Village forever, or even in Anping Town, but we will go to more prosperous places." ”
"But to do business, I need people I can trust completely." Li Mumu said, "That's why I asked you to help me, because I can trust you completely." But it's useless to just trust you, I need you to do it, I need you to make progress with me, not just help me do some chores. ”
"In the future, I need you to be the shopkeeper, and I even need you to help me take care of a business." Li Mumu said.
She has not yet grown a big stall, and she is already thinking about doing business all over Daxi Kingdom.
