80s Marriage of Convenience, My Archenemy Became a Henpecked Husband

Upon waking up, Lin Xiangyi realized she had transmigrated into a period novel written by her stepsister. Her stepsister was the protagonist, and she was the villainous female supporting character....

Chapter 46 You Must Live Well

The advantage of being good-looking is that when you stand in a crowd, other people's eyes will naturally fall on you.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were an extremely eye-catching couple. As soon as they stopped at the entrance of the textile factory, they attracted a lot of attention.

When their eyes fell on the big pot tied to the back seat of Xie Qingxiao's bicycle, everyone knew what they were here for.

A gray-haired grandmother happened to be standing next to them. Seeing this, she asked curiously, "Young man, young lady, are you out here to do business?"

Lin Xiangyi had just parked the car. When she heard the sound, she looked back and said with a smile, "Yes, grandma."

"It doesn't look like that," Grandma looked at Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi suspiciously.

The two of them were out working today, and they were wearing simple old clothes, but there is still some truth in the saying that the fashion sense of clothes depends on the appearance.

In addition, both of them have good temperaments and can be seen at first glance as children raised in wealthy families.

Could it be that their family fell into poverty and forced them to go out to do business to make a living?

Grandma, who believed that only people who couldn't make ends meet at home would start a business, had a wild idea and gradually felt sympathy for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi: "..." Why is this grandma looking at them in such a strange way?

However, there is no reason to push away a guest who has come to your door.

Lin Xiangyi immediately said with a smile: "Grandma, we sell braised food, would you like to try some?"

"What is braised food?" Grandma asked.

It's not easy for a young man who has fallen into poverty and is so good-looking to put aside his pride and start a business. She should support him if she can.

Lin Xiangyi gave Xie Qingxiao a look, and Xie Qingxiao lifted the lid of the pot and said with a smile, "Grandma, look, this is it."

"This is... duck offal? And pig intestines?" Grandma glanced into the pot, and the aroma of stewed food wafted towards her. She sniffed and said, "It smells quite nice. You guys are really good at cooking. How much is one pound? Give me two pounds..."

"Duck offal is 80 cents a pound, and pig intestines are one dollar a pound."

"Burp!" Ah Nai quickly swallowed back the words that she wanted to buy two kilograms. She looked at Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi in disbelief and asked, "How much do you think one kilogram is?"

"Duck offal is 80 cents, and pig intestines are one dollar," Lin Xiangyi repeated with a smile.

Robbing money?

Grandma was stunned: "Duck offal is only 10 cents per pound in a state-owned butcher shop! Even pig intestines are only 20 cents. Yours is more expensive than pork?"

Pork is 70 cents a pound now! Wouldn't it be good for her to buy pork and eat it?

She took back her previous words that she felt sorry for the two young people. They were not pitiful at all!

"Grandma, you can't calculate it like that," Lin Xiangyi said calmly, "If you have ever cooked offal, you would know that the duck offal loses at least half its weight after the impurities are dealt with and it is cooked! Pig intestines even lose more weight. A pound of pig intestines is probably only about 300 to 400 grams after being braised. Doesn't this increase the cost?"

"After adding in spices, labor and other costs, the profit is really not that much! You said it's more expensive than pork, but that's not true. You need a ticket to buy pork, and you have to cook it after you buy it. My stewed food not only doesn't require a ticket, but can also be eaten directly. These are two different things and cannot be compared."

Grandma: "..." It seems to make sense?

"Besides," Lin Xiangyi continued, she took out a bowl, took out a duck intestine, cut it into small pieces, handed it to Grandma, and said, "This taste is unique, you can't buy it anywhere else, if you don't believe me, try it?"

Grandma: "..." I kind of want to try it, but...

"Try a small piece for free," Lin Xiangyi saw through grandma's thoughts and picked up a piece for her to try.

Grandma was not polite and took it with her hand, then put it into her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up -

"Is it delicious?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.

"It tastes pretty good," Grandma nodded in surprise: "How did you make it?"

"Grandma, this is an exclusive secret recipe. I won't tell anyone else about it," Lin Xiangyi blinked. "If you like it, why don't you buy some and take it back?"

Grandma sneered. This girl is not only pleasing in appearance, but also in personality.

She just asked casually. Of course, she knew that the secret recipe was the foundation of their business and could not be disclosed casually, so she said, "Okay, then give me three cents for this duck offal."

The elderly are really thrifty and are reluctant to spend so much money. They just buy a little and bring it back for their family to taste.

"Okay, Xie Qingxiao, weigh out three cents for grandma," Lin Xiangyi said to Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay." His wife is really outstanding, he doesn't even need to do anything.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi bought oil paper when they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy seasonings. Now they wrapped the seasonings for grandma with the oil paper and handed them to her.

Xie Qingxiao said, "If it's delicious, come back again."

"Okay, okay," Grandma said with a smile, and then she glanced at the two of them and said with great satisfaction, "Married couples should be like you, understanding and tolerating each other, and working together! You two are so willing to sacrifice your reputation, so your future will not be bad. You should live well, okay?"

Lin Xiangyi was left in tears and amused by her grandmother's earnest advice.

Xie Qingxiao smiled: "I know, grandma."

"Grandma Liu, this is delicious."

At this time, a young woman who had been observing them for a long time asked, saying that she knew the grandmother who bought braised food from Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.
