Jiang Li thought about many things in his mind, but in the end he found that it was just a mess.

Although she now has the ability to survive, trying to compete with a family like Shen Changan is like hitting a rock with an egg.

Is she just going to compromise in the end?

Jiang Li wanted to escape from this place, but in the 1970s, when a letter of introduction was required to travel far away, where could she escape to with her two children and a younger brother who was still in school?

What's more, she has a missing sister who needs her to find.

Jiang Li was still daydreaming, but Jiang Yi had already prepared the meal.

"Sister, I've cooked the dishes, come and eat."

Jiang Li struggled to get up from the bed, her legs feeling a little weak.

Unexpectedly, after driving away my aunt's family, I was targeted by Shen Changan again.

The reason why I asked Shen Changan to look after the children was to prevent them from being hurt by being snatched away.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changan was so capable that he was able to unravel the whole matter based on just a few clues and even suspected her.

The food Jiang Yi cooked was good, but Jiang Li had no appetite because he was in a bad mood. He only ate a small bowl and put down his chopsticks.

"Jiang Li, how can your body handle eating so little?"

Zhang Guocai looked at his thin niece with concern, and Jiang Li turned around and smiled weakly.

"Uncle, I'm fine. The drawings are almost done. I'll go back to my room and get busy."

Jiang Yi held the bowl and stared at his sister's back. He didn't know what had happened to his sister. He only knew that his sister became very abnormal after seeing the things sent by Teacher Shen and knowing that Teacher Shen was asking about her situation.

Jiang Li had just returned to his room when there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Yi went to open the door, and Jiang Longtao came in hurriedly carrying two sacks of things.

He was a straightforward man and called out to Jiang Li loudly as soon as he came in.

"Jiang Li, Jiang Li, I'm here to bring you the materials."

Jiang Li forced himself to cheer up and walked out of the room again.

"It seems the cakes sold well last time?"

"It's not good at all, it's a huge hit!"

"Where do you sell the cakes? How come your business is so good?"

Jiang Li asked casually, and Jiang Longtao smiled without saying anything.

"I'm here to do business with you. Just focus on making the products and let me worry about the rest. You have to leave some food for me, your brother."

Jiang Li thought about it and it made sense. This was Jiang Longtao's way of making money, so how could she just ask casually?

Although Jiang Longtao has a cheerful personality, he is not a foolish old man who can't hide his thoughts.

If you want to make money, you must stick to your own path. It was also her fault that her mind was wandering just now and she didn't consider this point, otherwise she would definitely not ask such a brainless question.

Fortunately, Jiang Longtao has high emotional intelligence and is always smiling, so what he says won't make people angry.

"How much stuff did you buy? You invested a lot of money, didn't you?"

Jiang Longtao put down the sack and untied it. Jiang Li saw that it was filled with high-quality yam and fresh glutinous rice.

"100 jin of yam and 100 jin of glutinous rice. Is the ratio correct?"

"The yam has to be peeled, and it loses a lot of weight during the production process. This ratio is about the same."

The things Jiang Longtao brought, plus the fruits and vegetables added by Jiang Li, the pastries themselves also need to be made by adding water. In the end, it is conservatively estimated that 350 to 400 kilograms of pastries can be obtained.

The number is quite large, and there is so much preparation work to be done that Jiang Li cannot handle it all by himself in several days.

"That's good, that's good. Do you want me to buy some fruit? I saw you put kiwis, chestnuts and other fruits in the pastries you made earlier."

"Yes, there are ten things here in total. Just buy ten kilograms of each."

Jiang Li wrote a small note, and Jiang Longtao folded it carefully and put it in his jacket pocket.

"I'll go buy it right away."

Jiang Longtao turned around to leave, but Jiang Li stopped him in time.

"Hey, Jiang Longtao, how much did these things cost in total? Don't you even have to tell me what you spent? How am I going to calculate the payment with you later?"

"I buy glutinous rice and Chinese yam from fellow villagers. Glutinous rice is only 0.25 yuan per pound. Chinese yam is more nutritious and wild, so it's a little more expensive, 0.6 yuan per pound."

Jiang Li did a quick calculation and found that 100 kilograms of glutinous rice cost 25 yuan, 100 kilograms of yam cost 60 yuan, plus 100 kilograms of fruit, the total cost would be more than 100 yuan.

If you can make 400 kilograms of pastries, and sell each kilogram at 1.3 yuan per piece, you can sell a total of 520 yuan.

Excluding labor costs, the net profit is nearly 400 yuan.

Of course, this is a more ideal algorithm. In fact, whether 300 kilograms of materials can make 400 kilograms of pastries remains to be seen.

The manpower and material resources spent during the period are not counted in terms of money, but the profit margin is still quite high. Jiang Li was already excited just by doing the math.

I have to say that the things Jiang Longtao bought were of very suitable quality and price.

This was Jiang Li's first time working with Jiang Longtao. He originally had no expectations of him, but now it seems that this guy has a good business sense.

He can buy things at a low price and sell them at a high price. That's his ability.

“You’re a great shopper!”

Jiang Yi gave Jiang Longtao high praise. It was the first time that Jiang Longtao was praised by Jiang Yi, and he immediately became so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"I just bought it casually, as long as you like it."

"By the way, it's quite difficult to clean and peel these yam. How about you give me three free haircuts, and I have to do a unique style. How about I clean and peel them for you?"

Jiang Li's heart was moved when he heard the terms of exchange.

After peeling the yam, there is a layer of mucus on it. This mucus sticks to the skin and can easily cause itching of the hands.

Jiang Li was already itching to process the dozen pounds of yam his uncle brought over.

Now it weighs a full 100 pounds. Jiang Li can’t imagine how itchy her hands will be after she finishes handling it.

"Can."

Jiang Li agreed to his request without hesitation. Haircutting was a piece of cake for her. Even a difficult hairstyle could be done in half an hour at most.

The key is that my hands don’t feel itchy when I get a haircut, and my clothes won’t get dirty. It’s really convenient.

"Then I'll come over tomorrow morning to help you clean the yam."

Jiang Longtao went out in the night, and Jiang Yi quickly lit a kerosene lamp.

After he cleared the table and washed the dishes, he started to do his homework.

Zhang Guocai carried the two bags into the utility room. Goudan, who was hatching his "puppies" carefully, opened his eyes when he heard the noise. When he saw that it was Zhang Guocai coming in, his eyes dimmed.

It really wants to tell its owner that its "puppies" are moving again.

The movement was very intense. Some eggs were rolling around and some eggshells had been pecked open by them.

Seeing that a large group of "puppies" were about to be hatched, Goudan was eager to share the joy of becoming a father again with his owner.
