Chapter 48 Earned half a month's salary of a worker



"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Pengfei nodded repeatedly. Nonsense, how could he not want it? His brother and his sister-in-law wanted to take him with them when they got rich, so of course he had to follow in their footsteps.

"Okay, then Xie Qingxiao will come to pick up the goods with you tomorrow," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "It's just the salary..."

"We'll talk about salary later," Zhang Pengfei said generously, "I believe that you and Brother Xiao will not treat me unfairly."

"Let's talk about this tomorrow," Lin Xiangyi said. She had made the sudden decision to come to Zhang Pengfei, and she had not yet discussed with Xie Qingxiao how to compensate him.

They are brothers, so this matter still needs to be discussed with Xie Qingxiao.

"By the way, don't you have another brother named Wang Xiaofeng?" Lin Xiangyi said. She had not had much contact with Wang Xiaofeng and didn't know him very well, so she said to Zhang Pengfei: "Why don't you ask him if he is willing to come?"

"Okay," Zhang Pengfei said immediately, "His family lives in the county town. I'll go ask him later!"

Lin Xiangyi: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Seeing that Lin Xiangyi and Zhang Pengfei had almost finished chatting, Xie Qingxiao said, "It's getting late, wife, we have to go back."

"Then we'll leave first?" Lin Xiangyi said goodbye to Zhang Pengfei.

"Okay, okay, then you guys go back and be careful," Zhang Pengfei said with a grin.

Xie Qingxiao patted his shoulder and went home with Lin Xiangyi.

Fortunately, it is summer now and it gets dark late, so Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi don’t have to go home in the dark.

They didn't know that Xie's father and mother were waiting for them at home anxiously.

After the two of them went to the county town, Xie's father and mother went to work in the fields. However, they were absent-minded the whole afternoon, and kept thinking:

I wonder how Xiao Xiangyi is doing with all these braised foods? Is he really selling them? Isn't it all in vain?

Can they really do business now? Will they be arrested and put behind bars?

After finally finishing work and returning home, Xie's mother asked Xie's father to go back to cook first, "I'll go ask my sister-in-law if she has any extra eggs and bring some back."

Father Xie was very surprised when he heard this: "Didn't you think A Xiao and his wife were too extravagant a few days ago?"

"Didn't I misunderstand them at that time?" Xie's mother said unhappily, "Although we don't know whether their business can make money, they have been working really hard these past two days. We should prepare some delicious food for them to replenish their bodies."

"Then you go quickly, I'll go back and cook dinner first," said Xie's father with a smile.

He went back to cook first, and waited for Xie's mother to come back with replaced eggs before he started stir-frying the vegetables.

After cooking the dishes, they didn't eat them, but waited for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi to come back.

It was already past seven o'clock and the sky was gradually getting dark. The old couple became a little anxious and finally waited for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi to come back.

The two hurried over to greet him: "Ah Xiao, Xiang Yi, you're back? How's your business? Be careful, Xiang Yi, I'll help you carry it."

There is a threshold at the gate, and the bicycle needs to be lifted up before it can enter.

“Thank you, mother,” Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, pointing to the big pot behind Xie Qingxiao’s bicycle, and said with joy, “I’ve bought them all!”

"Really?" Xie's mother was overjoyed.

Father Xie also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Qingxiao took the big pot off the back seat of the bicycle, opened the lid and showed them the empty bottom of the pot: "Can it be fake?"

"That's good, that's good!" Xie's father and mother smiled from ear to ear. "Are you hungry? The meal is ready. I'll go serve it."

Having said that, Xie's mother hurried to the kitchen and brought out the food.

Lin Xiangyi and Xie Qingxiao came back a little late today. They didn't know if the butcher shop still had meat for sale. They also thought that by the time they got back, Xie's father and mother would have already prepared dinner, so they didn't take a detour to buy meat.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi did not sell all of today's braised food, but kept some at home.

I originally thought that these were all the meat dishes for tonight, but unexpectedly, when they came to the table, I saw that in addition to the vegetables grown by themselves, there was also a plate of scrambled eggs.

The eggs that Xie's parents had stored were eaten up by Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi these past two days. Although they had two hens at home, they didn't lay eggs every day, so where did they get so many eggs to fry?

Lin Xiangyi knew without thinking that it must be Xie's father and mother who went out to exchange eggs with the villagers.

And she could clearly feel from the food she ate that tonight's meal contained more oil than before.

She looked at Xie's father and mother, and felt a little warm in her heart. She then talked to them about going out to sell braised food today.

Mr. and Mrs. Xie were delighted to hear this and were happy that their first business venture went so smoothly.

After finishing the meal, Lin Xiangyi happily took out her messenger bag containing money: "Quick, quick, count how much money we made today."

Xie's father and mother were both stunned. This...don't we need to avoid them?

"Mom and Dad, what are you standing there for? Come here quickly," Lin Xiangyi called to them.

"Oh," Xie's father and mother reacted. Their daughter-in-law didn't treat them as outsiders, but they treated themselves as outsiders. What a shame!

They smiled and sat over.

A low-cost business, with lots of change. Lin Xiangyi counted by the penny: "...27.1, our total turnover today is 27.1, the cost of duck offal and pig intestines is 7 yuan, plus spices and packaging... We conservatively estimate that we made about 18 yuan."

"How much did you earn?" Xie's father and mother blurted out.

Xie Qingxiao: "About 18 yuan!"

"So many?" Xie's father and mother asked in unison, with the same expression.

Isn't this almost half a month's salary for the workers? They earned half a month's salary in one day?
