After Xie Qingxiao, Zhang Pengfei and others left, Lin Huihui and the other two continued to buy braised food.
During this period, Xiangyi Luwei closed the store and went off work. Several salespeople left the store one after another. Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were the last to leave.
Looking at their backs, Lin Huihui and the other two automatically understood that they had taken their business away from them, and they felt secretly sad, while the other three were extremely proud.
Lin Huihui is now happy when Lin Xiangyi is unhappy, and whether she can make money is not so important to her.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi left. She felt that she had won. She glanced at the sky and said, "Mom, it's getting late. It's almost time for us to go back, right?"
When Lu's mother and He's wife heard this, they took a look at their stock and estimated that there were only about 50 to 60 kilograms left. How could they go back?
"Don't worry," Mother Lu said hurriedly, "there should be more customers coming to buy. Let's go back later. The weather is so hot, we should sell them if we can. Otherwise, we don't know if they will go bad if we keep them until tomorrow. If they go bad and can't be sold, then we will lose a lot!"
"That's right!" Mrs. He quickly agreed. These braised dishes are all meat. They only eat meat during festivals and they can't bear to waste so much braised food.
Of course, they wouldn’t eat them themselves, they just wanted to sell the braised food for money.
"But it's already so dark, it's dangerous for us to go back at night!" Lin Huihui explained. Who knows if there will be wild animals or robbers on the mountain road?
Both Lu's mother and He's wife live in the mountains. How could they not know that walking on mountain roads at night is very dangerous?
But for them at this time, encountering wild animals and robbers is a probability event. They hold on to the fluke mentality and think that they will not encounter them. Making money is obviously more important:
"There's no rush. Don't we still have the eldest and second eldest brothers?" Mother Lu said that the first and second wives of the Lu family each took 100 kilograms of silk to sell, and asked them to wait for them at the intersection on the way back to the village after they had sold the silk. They should not have returned yet.
Mrs. He complained: "Who told you to sell so many stewed foods on the first day? It's been a long time since we started selling them, and there are still so many left!"
Lin Huihui choked, she knew she had made a mistake.
But why? Lin Huihui couldn't figure it out. How did Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi sell so much goods every day?
They were watching at the door. Xiangyi Braised Food had a large customer flow, but it was not the number that could sell several thousand kilograms of braised food in a day.
Today they took away their business, and they should have had more left, and they did.
The salesmen of Xiangyi Braised Food each carried a large bag of braised food when they went back. Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and the others also carried a lot of food when they went back, but it looked like they only carried about 40 to 50 kilograms at most.
Lin Huihui guessed that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi must have other ways.
Lin Huihui had no choice but to listen to Lu's mother and He's wife and continued selling for more than an hour. She had sold about ten kilograms of pork, and when she saw that there were no more customers, she closed the stall and went home.
The first and second wives of the Lu family had indeed not returned yet and were waiting for them at the intersection.
But unlike Lin Huihui and her friends, they did not offer promotions, so they sold very little. The couple in the first room sold about ten kilograms, and the couple in the second room sold about twenty kilograms.
Adding the remaining 40-odd kilograms of Lin Huihui and the other two, they had a total of more than 200 kilograms left today.
There were so many left! On the way back, Mother Lu, Sister He, and the first and second wives all complained about Lin Huihui.
Lin Huihui was angry but dared not say anything, because all the happiness and excitement she had felt about taking over Xiangyi's braised food business was gone. Unfortunately, she was in the wrong and could only allow herself to be blamed.
Fortunately, after returning home, they counted today's profits and found that they had sold nearly 400 kilograms of braised food. Because they sold it at a low price, the profit was very low. Adding the braised food they had left over from today, their accounts actually broke even, with no profit or loss.
Mother Lu and Mrs. He all breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that there were so many braised dishes left over, they had thought they would definitely lose money today. This was the best outcome they had expected.
"Lin Huihui, you are not allowed to bring so much goods tomorrow. You can only bring 200 kilograms at most!" Mother Lu said in a stern voice.
"Only 200 kilograms?" Lin Huihui got anxious when she heard this. "200 kilograms can only make 120 to 130 kilograms of braised food at most. How can we sell so little tomorrow? We've already sold more than 300 kilograms today!"
"Of course it's impossible to sell so little. Aren't there still more than 200 kilograms left from today? Adding them up together, there are more than 300 kilograms!" Mother Lu rolled her eyes at her.
"Are we going to sell the leftover braised food tomorrow?" Lin Huihui was stunned. "It's so hot now and we don't have a freezer to store it. What if the braised food goes bad tomorrow? In serious cases, it could kill people!"
"How could it go bad so easily?" Mother Lu didn't care. There were more than 200 kilograms of stewed food. She couldn't bear to give it up or eat it. She must sell it to make money.
"When there was a famine, we even ate tree roots and weeds, and we didn't get sick! Who is so hypocritical? It's just meat that has been left overnight, why can't we eat it? And you're eating dead people?"
"If food that has been left out overnight can kill people, then probably no one in our village would be able to survive? Nowadays, who hasn't eaten leftover food? Even if something really happens, it is definitely not our problem. It is the guest's own health problem! What does it have to do with us?" Mrs. He also agreed.
Then several people from the first and second wives also echoed in unison, saying that they certainly couldn't throw away so much meat!
Lin Huihui wanted to say that it was different now than during the Great Famine. Even though she had exaggerated the fact that people were eaten to death, some people had weak stomachs. If they got diarrhea or poisoning after eating their braised food, they would be in big trouble!
However, when she looked at the more than 200 kilograms of braised food, which were all made with real money, she could make a lot of money by selling them, so she finally said nothing.
Indeed, who hasn't eaten overnight food these days? Even city dwellers eat it! Isn't it just braised food left overnight?
