Chapter 39: A Bite of Revenge



Xiangnan was a little angry, so she pressed him down and bit his Adam's apple hard, leaving a tooth mark before she was happy.

See if you're shy, little bitch.

After taking revenge, Xiangnan happily went to make a cake.

After making the cakes, they came back and counted the money that Huo Qing and Huo Sheng had given them today. They found that all the fifty cakes they took out were sold out.

The price was two cents more than what she sold it for in town.

A large piece costs 80 cents, a small piece costs 15 cents, which is the price of an egg. Nowadays, people still eat eggs frequently, so they can be sold.

At one cent and a half each, the total amount was forty-eight yuan and seventy-five cents. After deducting the material cost of ten yuan, I still made more than thirty-eight yuan.

She planned to give Li Mo one cent for each piece of cake as reward.

Although she was the one who mixed the proportions, many of the hard work, such as beating the egg whites and yolks, was done by Li Mo, who also had to watch the stove.

She got 1 cent as her labor fee, and the cost was 40 cents a piece of cake.

After deducting the labor cost, I still made more than 28 yuan.

Huo Qing and Huo Sheng work hard selling cakes; we can't let them work for nothing. They will be motivated only if they can make a profit.

Xiangnan put the money into the tin box, climbed onto the bed and nestled in Huo De's arms, saying, "I plan to give Huo Qing and Huo Sheng the cakes for fifty cents a piece. Whatever they make will be theirs."

Huo De thought for a moment and said, "If they sell it for 80 cents like today, they can make 30 cents?"

The young wife worked hard to make the cake, but after deducting the cost of materials, she only earned 30 cents in wages.

They can make three cents by selling it.

"Yes, don't think that just selling it is hard work.

I sell it for 60 cents a piece in town, so I can't give them a higher price than the other places in town. 50 cents is just right, and everyone makes a profit.

Besides, if I want to make money from my cakes, it all depends on the cake sellers. They will only work hard if there is profit to be made."

"You're right." Huo De originally thought that Huo Qing and the others earned too much.

But when he thought about it, since the cakes had to be sold to make money, Xiangnan couldn't sell them all by himself, so he needed help from others.

No matter how much they earn, as long as the cakes are sold, Xiangnan can sit at home and collect the money.

No need to worry about whether the cake can be sold, no need to waste time talking to people, no need to run back and forth.

This is also good.

"As long as they can sell it and the market opens up, it's a long-term business.

Business in the countryside is still a small market. If the cake is sent to the city and packaged well, it can be sold at a higher price.

I think Huo Yun's personality is suitable for being a salesman. Let him go to another town to sell cakes tomorrow. We made more than a hundred cakes today."

Xiangnan stretched out her hand: "My hands are sore, husband."

Huo De held her hand with a distressed look on his face: "Let me rub it for you. I'll massage any sore spots for you."

Hodder had learned massage from a military doctor, and his hands were strong, so the massage was quite comfortable.

Xiangnan enjoyed this comfort, so she would act coquettishly with Huo De whenever she had nothing to do, and Huo De was happy to serve her.

Of course, I often asked her for money before going to bed at night.

The next day, Aunt Zhou came to work and raised thirty chicks in the open space at the back.

Aunt Zhou has extensive experience in raising chickens, so Xiangnan is not worried at all that she will kill the chicks.

After making two more rounds of cakes in the morning, Huo Yun arrived and brought some bamboo strips for enclosing the land, which could be used as a fence.

"Second and third brothers will come over later. They will bring more bamboo sticks and help to fence the garden."

Xiangnan smiled and said, "Thank you, fourth brother. You can go out and sell cakes today.

You can choose any neighboring town, just like my two brothers, and I will only charge 50 cents for a big cake, and the rest of the money you earn will be yours."

Huo Yun's eyes widened: "Really? It's all ours. Does Big Brother know?"

My brother would probably be unhappy if he knew that they were charging him money to do work for his sister-in-law.

"I told him that this is your hard-earned money.

So the more you sell, the more you earn. It’s your own business, so you have to take it seriously.

Earn enough money to marry a beautiful and gentle wife."

Huo Yun got a headache after hearing this: "I don't want to get married at all. Women are too troublesome."

Xiangnan smiled and said, "Then save it to buy a car. That would be very cool."

Huo Yun smiled happily: "Yes, I saw that kind of car on TV. It runs very fast and can reach the county in half an hour."

"Keep going, young man."

After being fed a bowl of chicken soup, the young man Huo Yun excitedly rode his bicycle to sell cakes.

Huo Yun looks more energetic than his two older brothers, so he should be easier to sell.

Who doesn’t like a spirited young man selling things?

Xiangnan lost her bicycle and hadn't been to the town to sell things for two days, but people in the town were looking forward to her coming.

Aunt Qin felt a little depressed when she saw that the stall next to her was occupied by someone else. She also wanted to try on the clothes that Xiangnan had left for her.

My daughter-in-law came home yesterday and talked about buying new clothes. She said she would ask Xiangnan to buy them and she would pay for them.

Aunt Qin brought several fat ducks today and planned to give Xiangnan a basket of duck eggs, but Xiangnan didn't come again.

Li You also came out today. The injury on his butt has healed a lot, so he wanted to come and find his sister to make a lot of money together.

Not seeing Xiangnan, Li You rode his bicycle to Xiangnan's house.

Xiangnan made braised dishes at home. She picked a lot of garlic shoots from Zhou Xiumei's vegetable garden and made them all into braised cold dish garlic shoots.

The three little ones couldn’t eat the spicy food, so she made some without any spicy taste, and the three little ones enjoyed it very much.

It’s great that Auntie left Zhang Hao. After leaving Zhang Hao, Auntie would cook anything for them.

Zhang Hao is such a bad guy!

He ate all the delicious food his aunt made by himself.

When Li You arrived, the three little ones were eating garlic sprouts with their mouths full of oil. They tilted their heads and looked at him in unison: "Are you looking for your aunt, uncle?"

It seems that this good-looking uncle had visited their house last time.

"Is your aunt home?"

"I'm here...Aunt! Someone is looking for you. It's a handsome uncle." Xiang Lanxi ran into the room happily and called for help.

When Huo De heard this, his brows furrowed. He knew that his wife liked good-looking men, so why did another handsome uncle come here?
