Chapter 223
In the evening, it was naturally Liang's father who sent them home. He also said that Manman didn't have many friends and hoped that they would come to his house often.
Ye Jiayin has endless aftertaste for the game console. She had played arcade games before, but now she finds that the handheld game console is also fun.
"Miao Miao, do you like playing that game console? I'll ask my dad to get one for you, okay?"
Su Miao looked at Ye Jiayin's expectant eyes, and alarm bells suddenly rang in her heart.
She said seriously, "Sister Jiayin, although games are fun, you can't be greedy. Don't forget that you have to work hard to skip a grade. Studying is the top priority. If you become addicted to game consoles, it will be terrible."
Ye Jiayin said hesitantly: "I probably won't be obsessed with it."
"I heard that there were several seniors in a certain high school who had good grades, but they were addicted to the arcade and had their studies delayed. It was like a drug addiction, they just thought about playing games all day long."
Ye Jiayin thought about it and said, "How about this, I buy it and give it to you to keep. I will come over to play with you after reading on weekends or weekdays. Is that okay?"
"...What if...I become addicted?"
Ye Jiayin really liked the game console and finally decided to buy one. She and Su Miao agreed to play it only on weekends and holidays, and set an alarm every time they played the game, which could not exceed two hours.
Su Miao's method of letting people try shredded papaya was also effective. When his classmates told their parents about it, many of them also came to Su Ji to buy some to try.
Liang's parents also brought it to the company to share with their colleagues, and the reputation of Su Ji Papaya Shreds gradually spread.
Some people who knew how to make shredded papaya quickly sensed the business opportunity and started selling it, but only acquaintances and neighbors bought it.
First of all, papaya shreds are a specialty of Hengxian County. Although many locals can make them, there are not many in Nanning.
When it comes to the same food, every family has its own taste. The recipe of Su Miao’s second aunt is delicious and has been well received over the years.
Finally, there is the blessing of the Su Ji Food Shop’s brand. Su Miao was very foresighted and customized the packaging early on, so that people can recognize their shredded papaya at first glance.
However, papaya shreds are pickles after all, and are usually used as a side dish for meals. The consumption is not particularly large, and now we can sell an average of 30 bottles a day.
If the net profit per bottle is 80 cents, then even if Su Hui only takes 10% of the profit, she can still earn 72 yuan a month.
Because the papaya shreds sold every week are made during my break time and do not affect my normal work, this money can be considered extra income.
Originally, she wanted to give it to her parents, but her mother decided that it was her private money and asked her to save it herself. No matter what she used it for in the future, the family would not be responsible.
She told Su Yu about this matter. Su Yu was not jealous at all. He comforted her and told her to just think of it as a business partnership with Miaomiao, but not to tell anyone about it, so as not to make others jealous and cause trouble for her uncle's family.
If your eldest brother and sister-in-law ask, just tell them half the truth. If they don't ask, don't say a word, otherwise your eldest sister-in-law will think that your mother is biased and make a fuss.
Su Hui kept her mouth shut and worked hard. She went to the bank to open an account and put the money she received into it. Every time she saw the slowly increasing amount on the passbook, she felt more at ease.
Now she can earn money on her own without relying on her family, and has greater choices in her future life. She feels that all these are given by her Uncle Shi and Miaomiao, and they are really her benefactors.
New Year's Day is approaching, and Su Ji has announced early that it will be closed for three days, and old diners are complaining.
"Oh my! I finally have a day off, and we're having a family dinner. I was thinking of coming to your house to pack some braised food to add to the dishes."
"Lao Su, why are you so hard on money? How can you not do business when you have one?"
"Can you make two pots of braised food on New Year's Day before you rest? We'll come early to buy, so you don't have to cook porridge. How about selling all the braised food and then resting?"
"Why don't you all take turns resting? Don't all rest at once."
Su Yuanzheng explained that they had to go back to the village on New Year's Day, not only to celebrate the festival, but also because it was the birthday of an elder, and everyone in the family had to go back. It would be pointless to leave two employees behind, so they might as well let them go together.
However, after discussing with Su Miao, we decided to open half a day on New Year's Day in response to the requests of diners.
Uncle Huzi would take them with him when he brought goods back at noon, so they could make two pots of braised food early in the morning, and take a break after selling them all. If they couldn't sell all of them, they would pack up and take them back home.
Before the holiday, the school traditionally held a New Year's Eve party. The students in the class were very enthusiastic. This time, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin finally didn't have to be pushed to the front of the stage.
It is so comfortable to sit quietly in the audience, eat snacks and watch the performance.
Compared with ten years ago, today's cultural and artistic programs are more diverse, with students trying their hand at singing, dancing, crosstalk and sketches.
Not only the types of programs, but also the content of the performances have become much more open. They no longer just emphasize being both red and professional. Especially language-based programs such as crosstalk and sketches can always make everyone laugh.
The students rehearsed the program in their spare time, which was certainly incomparable to a professional art troupe, but it was better in the enthusiasm and vibrant atmosphere. The campus was immersed in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere throughout the evening.
As a newly formed group of four foodies, snacks are indispensable. Liang Manman brought her mother's homemade candies and chocolates, which are made with excellent ingredients and taste better than the ready-made ones bought in the market.
Wei Siya brought a large bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts. Ye Jiayin didn't know how to cook, so she brought some local specialties that her mother brought back from her business trip.
What surprised them the most were the small black pills made by Su Miao. Each one was as small and black as mouse droppings. At first they didn't dare to eat it, but they tried it under the guidance of Ye Jiayin.
Huh? It has a sweet, sour, and refreshing taste, a mix of licorice and tangerine peel. It's not amazing, but it's so delicious you can't help but keep eating it.
This was made by Su Miao based on her memory of the "Hua Hua Dan". This thing should have become popular in the early 1990s. She was not sure about the exact time. She only remembered that she ate it for the first time after she entered high school, and she has not found it in the convenience store yet.
When she was asked to bring snacks, she suddenly had an idea and made some according to the taste she remembered, but it was definitely different from the real "Hua Hua Dan".
In fact, she did this out of some bad taste. After all, the shape of the black little balls was really not very appetizing.
Su Miao made quite a bit and shared it with the classmates. The students from the next class looked at them in amazement as they ate the strange things and asked, "What are you eating?"
"Immortal Pill."
Countless hands began to reach out from the side.
"Give me some."
"I want one too."
