Chapter 205 Trial and Error Cost
Liu Wangxue looked at Jing Yujun strangely: "Aren't you and Boss Du good brothers who can talk about anything? Didn't he tell you?"
"What?" Jing Yujun was confused.
Xu Qingsong stroked the fur on his back and said, "He didn't open a store."
Tao Huayu reached out and took the cat from Liu Wangxue and held it in his arms. Xiaoci was unwilling and broke free, crossed over Liu Wangxue's legs, and ran to her other side to curl up. He also clung to her legs and stuck his head out, glaring at Tao Huayu.
He patted the two cat hairs he had pulled off his hand and said, "My brother-in-law is not happy. He said he would think about it carefully. It's been almost half a month and there is still no result. Sister, what is he thinking?"
Tao Huaxin spread his hands and shrugged: "I don't know. Anyway, he just wanted to make it for his children and family at the beginning. Let him do it."
"I thought he wanted everyone to help taste the food." Jing Yujun said, but Du Yunkai never mentioned this.
Seeing Qiu Xiangrong looking positive and expectant, Jing Yujun thought he had a store outside, and was looking at everyone's feedback before putting the products on sale in the store.
The cooking skills are really good, the dishes are delicious, and the texture and taste of drinks like the milky chestnut and pumpkin paste are definitely not inferior to those sold outside.
As he was speaking, Qiu Xiangrong brought over the chestnut biscuits and chestnut cake rolls.
He used a mold to press the biscuits into a simple chestnut shape, which had a rough beauty. The biscuits were only the size of a medium-sized chestnut, with a firm and sweet taste, and you could chew the chestnut crumbs. After eating one, I couldn't help but take another.
The three of them also clamored for food, so Liu Wangxue gave them one piece each. After a bite, Xiao Ci held the food with her front paws, making a crunching sound, and then stood on the coffee table and pecked at it.
After eating another cake roll, everyone felt like they couldn't get up. Liu Wangxue didn't finish any one - she really couldn't eat any more. She broke the last two bites, fed the small piece to Xiaoci, and the large piece to Pengpeng.
I had a lot of snacks tonight, and these two were so delicious.
Tao Huaxin looked at everyone who collapsed and said jokingly, "You are all adults now, don't you know what hunger and fullness mean?"
Tao Huayu rubbed his stomach and said, "Who can I blame for this? It's because my brother-in-law's cooking is so delicious."
"Yes," Xu Qingsong said, "My brother-in-law doesn't open the shop, so we have to eat one meal a day. We finally got the chance, so we have to eat as much as we can."
"Brother-in-law, what have you thought about opening a store?" Liu Wangxue asked.
Qiu Xiangrong didn't think it through. No, he didn't think about it at all. He felt that opening a store was not something he should do. He didn't have any business ideas in his mind.
Tao Huayu really thinks his brother-in-law is amazing. All his talents and skills in life are in the kitchen, but this person is completely unaware of it.
Qiu Xiangrong's cooking was already delicious before he married his sister. Tao Huayu remembered that the meal he cooked when he first came to their house was cooked by him.
When Qiu Xiangrong put on an apron and picked up the kitchen knife, Tao's father and mother tried to stop him. How could their daughter cook for her future father-in-law's family the first time he came to visit? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at if they told others about it?
Qiu Xiangrong wanted to show off, so he smiled innocently: "It doesn't matter, we are all family anyway, so who does it differently?"
Tao's father's face turned black at that time, thinking, I haven't agreed yet, how can we become a family? In the end, the old couple couldn't persuade him, so they let him do it.
The meal was a success, and Tao Huayu felt that his parents' and his own initial change of heart towards Qiu Xiangrong was partly due to his cooking skills. He even wondered if his sister liked Qiu Xiangrong because of his good cooking skills? Now, for the sake of their unborn "daughter", his brother-in-law has started to study baking again.
I have to say that his brother-in-law is talented. If his parents had paid more attention, he would have at least finished high school and then went to a technical school to learn cooking. Would he still be working so hard on the farm now?
Tao Huayu knew from the look on his brother-in-law's face that he certainly didn't think much about it: "Brother-in-law, listen to the advice and eat your fill. Really, just open the store."
He persuaded her with both reason and emotion, and continued to persuade her while everyone was there: "You learned this for my little niece. Think about it, after she is born, she will have to spend money on all kinds of food, clothing and daily necessities, right? When she grows up, she will have to spend money on kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and university, right? During this period, if you want her to develop some hobbies, for example, learn painting like Qinglei, wasn't Qinglei delayed for several years because of the financial pressure at home? Let's say later, if my little niece is a talent, like Xiaoyu, and wants to study abroad for further studies, that will also cost money. But with the few acres of land in our family, even if we add my sister's salary, how much can we save in a year?"
When the time comes, he will definitely support it, but given his brother-in-law's temper of never taking advantage of others, it's hard to say.
In fact, Tao Huayu had never thought about these questions before.
Since Xu Qingsong came back last year to be a "salted fish", and Liu Wangxue came here to "lie down", he saw another way of life.
The two of them now focus on "living the life they want" and don't care about anything else.
This attitude requires confidence, and a large part of this confidence comes from being financially stress-free.
Xu Qingsong came from a well-off family since he was a child. Tao Huayu remembered that since elementary school, he always had endless pocket money in his pocket every winter and summer vacation when he came back.
Whether going to the village store or the supermarket in town, as long as Tao Huayu wanted to eat something, Xu Qingsong would pay for it without saying a word.
As for Tao Huayu, whenever his father gave him three or five yuan, he would be as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
He couldn't afford snacks from outside, so whenever his family made something delicious, he would think of Xu Qingsong first.
In addition to being rich, Xu Qingsong was also an outstanding person that he could not catch up with even if he flattered himself. It seemed that everything he did was easy for him since he was a child. He went directly to a large company after graduating from graduate school and became a department manager at a young age, earning an annual salary that ordinary people could not reach.
Although there were many hardships along the way, such as being laid off by a large company for unknown reasons, he later started a business with Du Yunkai and invested in technology stocks.
So if he doesn't like his job anymore and doesn't want to do it anymore, he can just come back and change his lifestyle.
Liu Wangxue is a live streamer that Tao Huayu has been a fan of for five years. The competition in this industry is so fierce, as can be seen from her continuous live broadcasts and story output.
Before she quit the Internet, Tao Huayu also saw the video circulating on the Internet, so he always thought that Liu Wangxue was emotionally hurt and came here to heal.
However, after getting to know her, it seems that this is not the case. Tao Huayu thinks that she is so optimistic and cheerful, and she always comes up with ideas to add some little beauty to life.
And she is so talented. When Tao Huayu knew that she was the screenwriter of "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao", he was ecstatic. Now "Moon Rising from Spring Stream" has also started filming smoothly, and the future is even brighter.
One of them is a "salted fish" and the other is a "lying flat", but in fact, it is not entirely so. They both have their own areas of expertise and work, doing what they like, and they are both very good at it.
After thinking carefully, Tao Huayu felt that "talent" and "ability" were their real confidence, which enabled them to not be trapped in any difficult situation. As long as there was an opportunity, as long as they seized it, they would be able to find a smooth path.
