Chapter 81 Don't you have any ideas?
Yao Shula never expected that Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian would be unable to sleep because of the two cents she gave them each.
She felt that life was becoming more and more promising.
Yao Shuxin is now focused on her studies. In the last school placement test, she finally ranked among the top three in her grade.
Even the teachers say that Yao Shuxin is definitely a good candidate for getting into No. 1 Middle School.
Although Yao Shuli's grades are still not good, she is no longer at the bottom. She has made a slight improvement. Although she is third from the bottom, even a small step forward is still progress!
Judging from the current situation, Yao Shula feels that she has completed her task very well.
At least these two little ones have been striving to move forward without looking back.
...
This is the third day that the recreational ball stand has been open for business.
Although the next two days were weekdays and business wasn't as good as on Sundays, there was still business.
There are fewer people in the morning and afternoon, but the three pool tables are never idle after lunch and dinner.
Except for Sundays, I can earn more than two dollars every day.
People who come to play are also conscientious; they pay first and then play.
Yao Shula has already moved all the cooking utensils to the newly purchased courtyard of the Cao family.
After collecting the money, he immediately turned around and went to the back to wash the rice and start cooking it.
Or you can simply sit in Old Cao's courtyard, preparing vegetables while watching the doorway.
It seems like nothing is delayed.
That day, Yao Shula bought some meat and prepared to make preserved egg wontons, a dish that everyone loves.
Besides the preserved egg wontons, I also made a pot of boiled meatballs.
Lei Jingwu also brought Gu Changqin and Gu Xiaoman to freeload a meal.
Each person received a large bowl containing about a dozen small meatballs poached in plain water, as well as preserved egg wontons.
Gu Changqin and Gu Xiaoman also got to try the preserved egg wontons that Xiaotian had been talking about.
"It's delicious! I didn't expect that combining preserved eggs and pork in wontons would taste so good!"
"These boiled meatballs taste pretty good too." Gu Changqin nodded vigorously while eating.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Xiaoman were both eating without even looking up.
While eating wontons with a spoon, Xiao Tiantian didn't forget to show off.
"I told you, my older sister's wontons are delicious, but my cousin just wouldn't believe me."
If it weren't so troublesome to make and the meat wasn't so expensive, I'd eat this every day.
Yao Shula put two of the small meatballs from her bowl into each of the three smaller bowls.
"It's okay to eat this when it's fresh, but you can't eat it every day."
When I went to buy meat today, Director Wang said that some mutton would arrive next Tuesday.
He set some aside for me in advance so I could pick it up later.
"Once we get the mutton back, we'll make you mutton dumplings," Yao Shula said with a smile.
The three children immediately nodded.
Especially Xiao Tiantian, after calculating the time...
Well, by then, my cousins and other male cousins should have all left.
At that time, it was just the four siblings who ate...
“That Uncle Wang is so nice!” Xiao Tiantian said immediately.
Yao Shula nodded.
This Director Wang is really a good person. During the Spring Festival, I gave him cigarettes and alcohol as gifts to buy some good meat, and he has always remembered it.
Since the Lunar New Year, Yao Shula has been able to buy meat that is hard for others to get.
Lean meat, pork belly, and the fat from lard, ribs...
On several occasions, Director Wang specially reserved a lot of large bones for Yao Shula that didn't require tickets and could only be purchased by their internal staff.
If you do the math, this saves a lot of money!
“You’ve set up your recreational ball stall. This kind of business should be able to last for two or three years without any problem,” Lei Jingwu suddenly said.
Yao Shula nodded hurriedly.
"You've all worked hard these past three days! You even taught everyone how to play ball!"
"If it weren't for you guys, I doubt this business would have become so successful."
Yao Shula said this with great sincerity.
These three people were really very dedicated to their role as shills.
Not only did he take the initiative to teach everyone how to play, but he also joked around with everyone, showing no airs at all.
Furthermore, the three of them showed everyone that it's possible to book a whole table for playing ball.
This pool table is only for us to play on, and it costs one dollar and fifty cents a day to rent it...
Another option is for the loser to pay for the game, or to treat the loser to a meal or soft drinks...
In short, they always manage to make even the simplest recreational activities into something amazing.
Yao Shula thought about it and realized that the other party had helped her so much, and she had no way to repay them.
The only thing we can do is to take better care of Xiaotian!
With that thought in mind, Yao Shula put the last small meatball from her bowl into Xiao Tiantian's bowl.
Eat more!
Little Tiantian was even happier!
My eldest sister treats me better than my second sister and Shuli-ge; she even gave me the last little dumpling...
"Don't worry about it, we've had a lot of fun these past two days."
We feel at ease knowing that Xiaotian is with you.
Oh, by the way, after I go back this time, I probably won't be able to come back until the beginning of next month.
"We're going to Guangzhou this time. Is there anything you need? We can bring it back for you." Lei Jingwu said calmly.
Gu Changqin glanced at Yao Shula, then at Lei Jingwu.
Isn't it just about wanting to help? Why go through all this roundabout methods?
If it were me, I would definitely say right away, "Yao Shula, we're going to buy some in-demand items, and we'll bring some back for you to sell at your doorstep!"
Look at this bend! It's almost turning from the Songhua River to the Huangpu River!
When Yao Shula heard that Lei Jingwu was going to Guangzhou, her eyes lit up immediately.
She also thought about what she could do when Lei Jingwu was handling her business registration.
That piece of paper says you can run a clothing and department store!
Guangzhou is very close to Hong Kong, and many people there dress like they do in Hong Kong!
Now it's reform and opening up again...
"Could you please get me some small things?" Yao Shula immediately looked at Lei Jingwu.
"Of course!"
"Tell me! What do you want me to get over here?" Lei Jingwu readily agreed.
Good, Yao Shula is smart enough to have thought of this so quickly, very good.
I don't need to waste any more words or give any roundabout reminders.
"Food!" Little Tiantian immediately interjected.
Yao Shula quickly patted Xiao Tiantian on the shoulder, signaling him to continue eating the wontons and meatballs in his bowl.
"Yes! Things girls like, such as sunglasses, hair clips, scarves, and pretty decorations."
There are also earrings like the ones Xiaoman wears that don't require pierced ears.
"Anything is fine!" Yao Shula quickly replied.
Lei Jingwu nodded and immediately agreed.
Yao Shula was still a little worried and reminded Lei Jingwu.
“You can bring back some of the jewelry that the girls over there like to wear.”
We also brought back some magazines and other things from over there, so everyone could dress like the characters in them!
Lei Jingwu hummed in agreement.
Anyway, Gu Xiaoman will be going with us, so she knows best what to choose...
