After receiving Shen Changan's affirmative answer, Jiang Li felt inexplicably relieved.
She took the initiative to roll up the portrait and secure it with a rubber band.
"for you."
Jiang Li didn't mention the money again. He was just joking with him just now. Besides, since Shen Changan was asked for help here, it would be inappropriate to ask for money again.
Shen Changan took the portrait and put it aside. He took out a handful of money and tickets from his wallet and handed it over.
"Is this enough?"
"No need to give it to me, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."
Jiang Li retracted his hand and refused to take his money.
"No, that's not right. This portrait is very well done. I am very satisfied with it. You deserve the money."
As Shen Changan spoke, he didn't care whether Jiang Litong agreed or not. He emptied his wallet and put all the money and tickets on the table.
"Teacher Shen, I usually charge one yuan for portraits. If you really want to give me something, just give me one yuan. This is too much."
"I don't think it's much. You drew both portraits so well. You helped me a lot. This is what you deserve. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Shen Changan put away his empty wallet, took the two portraits, turned around and walked out.
Jiang Li grabbed the handful of money and chased after him, "Teacher Shen, this is really too much money."
"It's not much, just consider it as something for the children."
Jiang Li insisted on paying back the money, and Shen Changan ran out like a gust of wind, and Jiang Li couldn't catch up.
When Shen Changan ran out of Jiang Li's house, Jiang Longtao was still standing aside and watching eagerly.
He had been struggling for a long time and hadn't even had time to eat lunch. Now he felt even more strange when he saw Shen Changan running out of Jiang Li's house.
"Teacher Shen, Teacher Shen, you forgot to take your things!"
Jiang Li didn't give up and kept chasing after him, but the tall and long-legged Shen Changan had already run away.
Jiang Li was standing at the gate of the yard, and Jiang Longtao hurried over.
"Jiang Li, what's going on with Teacher Shen? Did he take something from your house?"
"no."
Jiang Li shook her head, and Jiang Longtao realized that she was holding a handful of money and tickets in her hands.
These things are worth at least several hundred dollars, and if you add the tickets, the value may be over a thousand.
His pupils contracted. Could this be left by Teacher Shen?
"What are you holding in your hands?"
"nothing."
Jiang Li stuffed the thing into his pocket, then walked into the house with a slightly depressed look on his face.
Jiang Longtao immediately took the opportunity to follow. When Jiang Li came to the main hall and sat down, he found that Jiang Longtao had also followed him.
"Why did you come in too?"
"I haven't seen you for a while. I heard you went to Northeast China. The last batch of cakes sold very well. I wanted to ask when you have time to make them again?"
Jiang Li left in a hurry last time, and since the raw materials were bought by Jiang Longtao, she didn't spend much money herself, so she gave the pastries directly to Jiang Longtao, planning to settle the payment after selling them.
I didn't expect that I would be away for a week and almost forgot about it.
"I'm here to get your money. What? Are you not welcome?"
Only then did Jiang Li notice that Jiang Longtao was carrying a small black bag across his body. The bag was bulging and must have contained a lot of things.
"Welcome, welcome."
This was the money she earned through her labor, so Jiang Li naturally wanted to take it back.
Jiang Li got up and went to the room to get out a small notebook, which recorded in detail the weight and price of all the things Jiang Longtao bought, as well as the labor fees he paid for others to do the work.
Jiang Longtao took off the small bag and opened the top zipper. It turned out that there was a piece of clothing stuffed on the top of the bag.
He had already folded the money neatly, and now he took it out and placed it in front of Jiang Li.
"This time, there are a total of 430 kilograms of cakes, which is less than the estimated 500 kilograms. I've already told you the purchase price of yam and glutinous rice. I've directly deducted the price. The remaining money is your income this time."
Jiang Li took out his notebook and did some calculations. The normal price of yam was 60 cents per catty, and Jiang Longtao bought it at 55 cents. He bought a total of 100 catties of yam, and spent a total of 55 yuan on it.
The normal price of glutinous rice is 25 cents per catty, and Jiang Longtao purchased it at 23 cents per catty. He bought a total of 300 catties of glutinous rice. There was some left after he used it up this time, and the total cost was 69 yuan.
There were also various fruits. Because the quantity used was relatively large, some fruits were not in season, so the prices were a bit more expensive. The total cost of fruits was 50 yuan.
In addition, there are some labor costs, let's say 10 yuan. Jiang Longtao has helped so much, so he should be paid some wages. The total cost is 190 yuan.
430 kilograms of yam glutinous rice cake, at a wholesale price of 1.3 yuan per kilogram, has a total value of 559 yuan. After deducting the cost of 190 yuan, the net profit should be 369 yuan.
After Jiang Li had calculated the bill, he began to count the money and found that there was a total of 375 yuan.
Jiang Li was afraid that he had ordered the wrong thing, so he quickly ordered again. Unexpectedly, it was actually that much money.
"The total is 375 yuan. I only want 369 yuan. The remaining 6 yuan is what you earned. Please take it back."
"No need. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway. I've also been secretly learning skills from you and eating a lot of food. These undisclosed benefits have already earned me enough."
Jiang Longtao laughed and refused to take the 6 yuan no matter what.
Jiang Li couldn't figure it out. What was going on today? Why was everyone giving her money? Could it be that they were giving in to her because she was struggling?
"Let me ask you again, do you want these 6 dollars?"
"I've figured it all out. If I say I don't want it, then I don't want it."
"That's fine. We're doing business anyway. If you really want to give me a profit, I can't push the benefits to others."
Jiang Li put the money into his pocket without saying a word.
Jiang Longtao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw how decisive she was.
"We've had a pleasant time working together over the past few times. The pastries we sold previously have received very good feedback. Chinese New Year is coming up soon, and everyone wants to order some pastries as gifts. The prices they offer are a bit higher than usual. I wonder if you have time to make them tomorrow?"
Jiang Longtao directly stated his purpose and the time when he wanted the goods.
Jiang Li has been away these days, and a bunch of people have been urging him to deliver the goods, which has put Jiang Longtao under a lot of pressure.
Now seeing Jiang Li coming back with a tired look on her face and looking a little haggard, he really couldn't bear to let her work so hard.
"Of course."
It only took three days of hard work to earn more than 300 yuan. Even Jiang Li himself did not expect that making more than 100 yuan a day was a huge profit.
However, she also understood one thing, that is, this pastry was just made and people were still feeling fresh about it. After a long time, everyone would get tired of it and the demand would definitely not be as great as it is now.
Especially now that it is the Chinese New Year, those rich people care about their reputation and want to buy gifts for their relatives and friends. The fresh and unique yam glutinous rice cake she made is a good choice.
