Chapter 360
"Sure!" Zhong Lan and Cui Li agreed without hesitation.
"Are we just going to make mung bean cakes and mung bean soup at home? And then sell them after they're done?" Zhong Lan asked.
Although she was full of energy, she was still a little confused.
"No, we will do it in one place, not at home. Tomorrow morning, after your families have left the house, come find me and I will take you there." Ye Fuyue said.
"Can I take Zao'er with me? I'm worried about leaving her home alone." Zhong Lan said.
Cui Li also nodded: "If I leave Huan Di and Lai Bao at home, they will definitely be bullied by Liang Tianxiong."
"Sure, that place is big, we can let them play there, it won't affect us." Ye Fuyue said.
After the deal was settled, Ye Fuyue rode her bike out and bought a lot of mung beans and sugar, which she placed in the small western-style building - yes, she planned to use the small western-style building as their base for selling food.
The next morning, Ye Fuyue explained the situation to Chen Guifeng, then she pushed her bicycle and took Zhong Lan and Cui Li to her small Western-style building.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li were very surprised when they saw the small Western-style building.
"Where is this...?" Zhong Lan asked.
"The house my family bought is the one everyone in the compound is talking about." Ye Fuyue said with a smile, "From now on, we'll cook here and sell it nearby. Zao'er, Laibao, and Huandi can play here. But I hope you don't tell anyone in the compound that my family bought this house."
"Don't worry, we won't tell." Cui Li and Zhong Lan said.
Cui Li also said to Laibao and Huandi, "If anyone asks you where you play every day, just say you're playing outside. Don't tell anyone about this place, okay?"
Laibao and Huandi both nodded obediently.
Zhong Lan also told Yao Zaoer the same thing.
"I have also cleaned up a room. If you want to rest, you can sleep in that room." Ye Fuyue said.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li saw the room that Ye Fuyue had cleaned up for them. The room was very big, almost as big as the two rooms they had in the slum. The furniture in the room was also very nice and didn't look cheap.
The two of them said to Ye Fuyue gratefully, "Fuyue, you are so thoughtful."
Letting the three kids run and play by themselves, Zhong Lan and Cui Li started working.
The kitchen is very large and has two stoves, so Zhong Lan and Cui Li can make mung bean cakes and mung bean water at the same time without affecting each other.
Ye Fuyue said to them, "We're going to sell what we make, so we can't skimp on the ingredients. We'll use the right amount of mung beans and sugar. I've recorded the money I spent on mung beans and sugar in this notebook. From now on, I'll record how much we earn and spend every day. Once every two weeks or a month, we'll tally the profits and divide the money. Remember this: if you want your food to sell quickly and well, don't skimp on the ingredients. That way, it'll taste good and sell well."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li nodded heavily, and began to make mung bean cakes and mung bean water respectively.
Ye Fuyue would check on Zhong Lan's progress and then check on Cui Li's progress.
Ye Fuyue didn't need to worry too much. The mung bean cakes and mung bean water they had made before were quite good. She just had to follow the same method.
When the two of them finished making mung bean cakes and mung bean water, it was almost eleven o'clock and it was time to go back to light the fire and cook.
"I'll chill the mung bean water and we'll sell it this afternoon," said Ye Fuyue.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li nodded.
The two of them returned to the slum with the child. Ye Fuyue stayed in the small building to do some finishing and preparatory work before returning to the slum.
In the afternoon, as soon as the family left, Zhong Lan and Cui Li came to find Ye Fuyue.
Several people quickly went to the small Western-style building.
Ye Fuyue handed Zhong Lan the basket she had prepared in advance: "Put the mung bean cakes in the basket and go out to sell them."
"Okay." Zhong Lan said.
Ye Fuyue asked Cui Li: "Can you ride a bicycle?"
Cui Li shook her head: "No."
Ye Fuyue originally planned to pour the mung bean paste into a wooden barrel, put the barrel on the bicycle, and Cui Li rode the bicycle out to sell the mung bean paste.
After hearing Ye Fuyue's plan, Cui Li said, "I'll carry the barrels on a shoulder pole and sell them."
"This is the only way." Ye Fuyue said, "In the future, you two will be taught to ride bicycles. When you make money, you can buy your own bicycles and go out to sell things on them. Otherwise, it will be very tiring to carry so many things on your back."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li both smiled expectantly: "Okay."
"Zao'er, Huandi and Laibao, just play here. Don't touch anything dangerous, okay?" Ye Fuyue said to the three children.
The three dolls nodded in unison.
"What is a dangerous thing?" Ye Fuyue asked deliberately.
"Hot water, kettle." Yao Zaoer said.
"Knife." Laibao said.
"Be careful when going up and down the stairs." Huandi said.
"That's right." Ye Fuyue smiled, and Zhong Lan and Cui Li also smiled.
Zhong Lan left three pieces of mung bean cake for each of her three children, and then went out with her backpack.
Before leaving, she nervously asked Ye Fuyue, "Fuyue, will you come find me later?"
"Well, I'll follow Cui Li first and come find you later."
After hearing Ye Fuyue say this again, Zhong Lan felt relieved and went out.
Not long after Zhong Lan left, Cui Li carried a shoulder pole and Ye Fuyue pushed a bicycle, and the two of them went out together.
Ye Fuyue asked them to hawk their wares along the streets in different directions.
Cui Li's voice was always weak when she hawked her wares, and she didn't dare to shout loudly.
Ye Fuyue said to her, "If you say it like that without confidence, no one will come to buy it. You should act like 'my mung bean soup is the best in the world.'"
After saying that, Ye Fuyue started to imitate Cui Li in a loud voice: "Iced mung bean soup - three cents a bowl - delicious and refreshing iced mung bean soup -"
Ye Fuyue shouted a few times, and someone actually came over to ask.
An old lady called out to her from the shade of the eaves: "Mung bean soup, three cents a bowl?"
"Yes." Ye Fuyue smiled brightly at the old lady. "It's icy, cool, sweet, and refreshing. Would you like a bowl, old lady?"
"Can I get it myself from a bowl?" asked the old lady.
"No need, we have prepared bowls." Ye Fuyue said with a smile and winked at Cui Li.
Cui Li quickly took out the prepared bowl from a wooden barrel and showed it to the old lady.
Seeing that the bowl was not small and that two cents a bowl seemed like a good deal, the old lady asked, "Do you want a ticket?"
"don't want."
"Give me a bowl."
"Okay."
Cui Li didn't expect it to be so easy to sell. She excitedly filled a bowl with mung bean paste and handed it to the old lady with both hands.
The old lady smiled when she saw Cui Li was so honest.
