Chapter 240: Had a fight?
Jiang Xinbai thought about it and thought, yes, it would be the first time to sell popcorn at the entrance of a cinema. Maybe it would work.
"But your dad said that butter was added to it, and we don't have that here." Jiang Xinbai then shook his head again, saying that it was impossible to make a one-to-one copy.
Yang Jiabao would not be stopped by this question. He smiled and said, "Mom, who says we have to use butter? The popcorn I eat is coated with sugar. We can use white sugar or brown sugar. It should not be worse than the one with butter."
Jiang Xinbai nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah, I can give it a try. Corn is 1.2 cents a pound now. If I only buy corn kernels, 1.5 cents should be fine, right? Then I can ask a popcorn maker to make it, and then I can bring it back to boil sugar and coat it. Hey, it will be sugar-flavored popcorn."
Yang Jiabao nodded excitedly, "Mom, let's form a partnership this time! This thing is also very easy to imitate. We must seize the opportunity. When more people come later, we won't make much money."
"According to what you said, it's not enough to rely on just a few of you. You need to find others to help you, or you can do wholesale."
Yang Jinsheng smiled and said that it was just like when he went back to purchase goods this time, if they sold them in bulk, everyone could make money.
"Huh? Jinsheng, what do you mean?" Jiang Xinbai was a little confused.
"Oh, Mom, Dad means that we should sell the popcorn to others at a lower price and let them sell it themselves. This way we don't have to run around outside all the time. Dad, is this what you mean?" Yang Jiabao looked at his old father with a smile.
Yang Jinsheng nodded with satisfaction. "You are not serious about studying, but you can understand this immediately. This is also an advantage."
Jiang Xinbai suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's what you mean! Let's try it first! I'll get some popcorn tomorrow and try making it after get off work. We have candy and other things at home."
"Hmm, what's that smell, Mom, the rice in your pot is burnt!"
At this moment, Yang Jiabao suddenly smelled a burnt smell, and hurried to the kitchen, quickly pulled out the firewood from the stove, then opened the lid of the pot and took a look. Fortunately, the top layer was fine.
Jiang Xinbai, who rushed over, also reached out and patted his chest, "It's okay, just a little burnt at the bottom. It's okay, Jiabao, serve your dad some rice, and I'll stir-fry some vegetables. It will be quick."
"Okay!"
On the table was a plate of roast duck, a plate of cold bean curd, a plate of cold shredded potatoes, and the spicy and sour cabbage fried with Jiangxinbai. Four dishes were more than enough for a family.
However, Jiang Xinbai discovered the problem as soon as she sat at the table. She picked up her chopsticks and pointed at the roast duck in front of her and asked, "Yang Jiabao, is this the roast duck you bought? Why does it only have one leg?"
Seeing this, Yang Jiabao quickly explained: "Mom, you are wrongly accusing me. I just bought one, but gave half to my grandparents. Hehe, this is not wrong!"
"That's good enough. Come on, let's eat!"
While talking about roast duck, Yang Fugui took out his hidden liquor from the cabinet and said with a smile: "Hey, my eldest grandson bought me roast duck today, I have to have a good sip."
"How shameless! It was clearly bought for me, so how can it be bought for you? You are just taking advantage of me."
Sun Erni glanced at her husband and said, "Hmph, it was clearly her that the eldest grandson bought the roast duck. This old man really dares to flatter himself."
Yang Fugui didn't care. He was lucky to have something to eat. "Hey, life is so good now. I have food and drink. In a few days, I can go for a walk every day. I don't have to go to work anymore. It's great."
When Sun Erni heard her husband say this, she quickly asked, "Old man, has the factory approved your retirement? How about your retirement salary?"
You know, the old man’s monthly salary all together is eighty-five, so he thinks it won’t be much less after retirement, right?
Yang Fugui smacked his lips, picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I asked, it should be 70% of the original salary, fifty-nine yuan and fifty cents."
Sun Erni felt a little disappointed when she heard this, and muttered, "Hey, it's not even 60 yet, I'm missing more than 20 yuan."
"But the accountant also said that with the development of the economy, they will raise a few dollars every year. Don't worry, sixty is enough for us to live on."
Yang Fugui is a very open-minded person. After all, his children have all started their own families and they don't have to raise their grandchildren, so it's enough for them to take care of themselves.
"That's true. Well, it's good to retire. After working hard all my life, it's time to take a break."
"Grandma, what are you eating? It smells so good. It's roast duck. Grandma, I want to eat it too."
At this time, Yang Jingjing ran in from outside. As soon as she came in, she saw a plate of roast duck on the table and her eyes lit up.
Sun Erni glanced outside the house. "Where are your parents? Didn't they say they were having dinner at your grandma's house? Why are they back?"
Yang Jingjing curled her lips and replied, "My mother had a quarrel with my grandmother and uncle. I saw that they didn't cook, so I came back directly."
Yang Fugui glanced at his little granddaughter, whose eyes were about to fall into the roast duck, and ordered: "Go get yourself a bowl to serve the rice. You are so greedy, you don't act like a girl."
Yang Jingjing chuckled at the two of them, then went straight to the kitchen to get some rice and quickly ran out. She stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in her mouth. She hummed as she ate, "It smells so good, grandpa and grandma, you don't know, I've been eyeing this newly opened roast duck for a long time, but my mom is too stingy and just won't buy it for me."
Sun Erni looked at her granddaughter eating and tapped the table lightly, "Pay attention to your eating habits, girl, don't let others laugh at you."
"Hey, it's okay. No one else saw it. Grandma, you and Grandpa are really nice. You're willing to buy roast duck. I'm lucky enough to have it today."
Sun Erni picked up another piece of roast duck with meat for her and teased her, "You are such a good nose. You have never eaten anything I made before? You came here just by smelling the aroma. But this roast duck was not bought by me. It was bought by your eldest brother. He bought it with his own pocket money and said it was for me and your grandfather!"
"Wow, is that Brother Jiabao? He must be very rich. But grandma, don't worry, when I have money, I will buy delicious food for you and grandpa." Yang Jingjing said while eating.
"You, just eat quickly. You just keep telling us two old bones what to eat. When have you ever said something like this?"
Sun Erni was talking while her hands were moving quickly. If she didn't hurry up, half of the roast duck would go into the little girl's mouth.
"Hey, I haven't grown up yet!"
At this time, Yang Jinwei and Su Qiuyan pushed the door open and saw that their little daughter had already eaten. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Jingjing, why did you run so fast just now? I thought you were lost!"
Sun Erni looked up at Lao Er and his wife and said, "It's such a short distance, I can find it even with my eyes closed, where could I have lost it? What's wrong with you, Lao Er? Jingjing said you had a fight with her grandmother and uncle?"
