90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 42 If you want to give it, give it to him

Even though her competitors were offering lower prices across the street, Wen Xiuyun still had a steady flow of customers, and the chestnuts were quickly sold out.

They are all repeat customers. Even if the price is reduced by 50 cents, in the initial stage, everyone is still more willing to trust Wen Xiuyun's fruit stall, and the taste and reputation are guaranteed.

Besides, Wen Xiuyun is easy to talk to, so the sugar-roasted chestnuts don’t have to be sold by the pound. If you buy more or less, you can weigh them.

Several people buy a pound together, and they are all packed separately, so the customers don’t have to worry about dividing them among themselves.

Nearly 410 kilograms of chestnuts, all sold out in five days, a perfect first shot to make a fortune.

 Excluding costs, the net profit was 1,262 yuan, with Bai Lu and Wen Xiuyun each receiving 631 yuan.

 The chestnuts belong to the Bailu family, so naturally the cost also belongs to Bailu, as well as the money spent on buying maltose to make syrup.

 Bai Lu made a list of the ingredients used each time, including the ratio of chestnuts and sugar syrup, and gave them to Wen Xiuyun.

Wen Xiuyun trusted Bai Lu, so he insisted on giving her the cost of chestnuts at 3 cents per catty.

"Chestnuts grow all over the mountains in the countryside, but few people pick them up. Even two cents to buy them is too expensive. But your sugar-fried chestnuts are all hand-fried. Frying chestnuts is not as simple as boiling them. Wash them and throw them in a pot to cook. That’s fine. It takes a lot of care to make it taste so good. I can’t be blind and pretend not to know.”

“The cost price of only 30 cents includes 10 cents of labor costs. I think you have lost money.”

 “But the sand was taken from your house.” The facts that should be pointed out were clearly explained and calculated by Bailu.

Wen Xiuyun waved her hand: "Those are sifted out unwanted sand, which cannot be used for building houses. At most, when paving the ground in the front yard, it is poured into the cement slurry and used as gravel. It is inferior to your manual stir-frying." Far."

From the selection of chestnuts, frying, to the finished product, Bailu does everything himself.

 She just occupied a stall, which was a customer source channel and was an old channel accumulated through selling fruits. It was equivalent to selling roasted chestnuts with sugar and making a net profit of more than 600 yuan.

Because of the profit from roasting chestnuts with sugar, all the old customers who had gone to other places to buy fruits were attracted back.

Bai Lu cooperated with her mostly because Xiao Cheng was building a house for her family, so she wanted to keep him as a favor.

If she cooperates with others, Bai Lu can still make a lot of money. After all, sugar-roasted chestnuts are a scarce fresh item in the season, and it is difficult to buy raw chestnuts now.

Wen Xiuyun is a real person, but not stupid. Bai Lu has to be careful to stabilize this exclusive way of making money.

In the end, both of them are satisfied and satisfied, and the future cooperation will continue. Wen Xiuyun will increase her efforts to find new sources of goods and ask her husband to help.

Bai Lu will naturally not be left behind. She has already gotten some clues about the new source of goods from Xiao Wei.

 Just wait for the Tomb-Sweeping Day the day after tomorrow.

Today is a good day. Bai Lu went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables. She made a large table of delicious dishes, including sweet and sour pork ribs, pickled fish, salt-baked chicken, braised pork...

Since she took up the chopsticks, her bowl has never been empty. It has been piled up into a small mountain, with more meat than vegetables.

Xiao Wei saw Xiao Cheng picking up vegetables for her and followed suit.

 After dinner, he took the initiative to wash the dishes. In front of the emperor's eldest brother, he was more diligent than a donkey in the production team.

Bai Lu took a walk in the yard to eat after eating.

Xiao Cheng sat in front of the stove and lit a fire. After the water was hot, he scooped it into a big bucket and carried it to the bathroom. He poured some cold water in it and asked her to take a bath when his fingertips showed that it was the temperature she usually used.

Bai Lu is now regarded as the empress dowager with a "golden fetus". Apart from cooking, gardening, and frying chestnuts, she doesn't have to do any heavy work.

 After taking a shower, go back to the room and count the money.

　One big and one young man finished their baths and sat in the yard washing clothes, looking at each other in silence. It was very quiet.

 …

 Before going to bed, Bai Lu went to knock on Xiao Wei's door. The little guy always ran to open the door excitedly. When he saw her, his head and shoulders drooped.

Bai Lu touched his pot lid as he entered the door, and pulled out a RMB from his back as a gesture of comfort.

 “Why give me money?” Xiao Wei didn’t answer.

 The little eyes were suspicious and a little defensive.

Bai Lu smiled: "The sugar-roasted chestnuts are sold out."

Xiao Wei said "Oh", his face showed no emotion or joy, and he didn't take the RMB in front of him.

Bai Lu stopped teasing him and directly stuffed twenty yuan into his hand, "You picked up the chestnuts, washed them, dried them and stored them. Without you, where would the sugar-fried chestnuts come from? You are now a great contributor to our family." "

"And you've helped a lot in the past few days. This twenty yuan is the hard-earned money you deserve. You can use it to buy what you like, including food. If you fancy something better than For things that cost twenty yuan, you can just tell me and I’ll buy them for you.”

These days, Bai Lu speaks in a relaxed and easy-to-get-together tone. Suddenly she explains the reason in a serious manner. Xiao Wei is stunned when he hears this, feeling as if he has done something important.

 Furthermore, in the past few days, the eldest brother has started to talk to him, more in the past three days than in the past three years.

 The eldest brother still laughs often, although not at him, but at Bai Lu.

  Xiao Wei couldn't even remember whether he had ever seen his eldest brother smile since he was a child. There was no such thing in his memory.

It seems that everything started to change when Bai Lu wanted to drink pesticide and forced him to hand over 20 yuan...

Xiao Wei looked at Bai Lu seriously and pushed the money back: "I don't want it."

 “The chestnut belongs to my eldest brother. If you want to give it, just give it to him.”

Bai Lu was sitting at the desk, and her eyes casually glanced around the new schoolbag on the table. In the inconspicuous corner on the side, there was a small bubble gum paper doll stuck on it.

The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, her eyes turned back to the stubborn little body in front of her, and she looked up and down.

 “When are you free, and I will take you to buy new clothes?” She was completely wrong.

Xiao Wei frowned: "No need."

 The clothes he is wearing are old and have become a little smaller, but they are still wearable. There is no need to waste money on new clothes.

 It’s not the Chinese New Year now.

Bai Lu did not refute, and nodded lightly: "Okay, then... I will choose it for you myself. If you choose a color, style, length, or size that you don't like, don't blame me~"

“After all, your brother agreed to this. If you are dissatisfied with it, go to your brother.”

The little guy's eyes lit up for a moment, then immediately turned back, and his little hands unconsciously tugged at his clothes.

 “You don’t have to lie to me, my brother doesn’t care about such trivial matters.” His tone was joyful yet nervous, with a hint of suspicion in his tentative tone.

 “I don’t care, but...” Bai Lu’s tail tone lengthened.

Xiao Wei looked at her steadily: "But what?"

Hands clenched the clothes tightly and remained motionless. His body was straight and tense, and he even forgot to breathe steadily.

The sound of breathing was so light that Bai Lu almost didn't feel it. He paused for two seconds and suddenly burst into laughter.

“But your brother said that you would lose face by wearing old clothes, so he asked me to take you to buy new clothes~”
