This one chopstick of pickles contained more than the other person's two chopsticks. Qiang was stunned for a moment, said thank you silently, and turned and left.
Li Shengli had finished eating. He stood up and sighed, "Qiang has a sick daughter at home. She needs money to survive. Naturally, she is a little stingy with money. Don't mind..."
Qiang is the most tolerant person on the construction site. Even the cotton-padded jacket he is wearing was picked up from other people's homes. He is from the south and had never thought that the weather in Haicheng would be so cold when he came here. He is wearing a short and thin jacket one after another, but he is still shivering with cold. Even so, he is reluctant to go out to buy a cotton-padded jacket.
Or he couldn't bear it, so he deliberately threw away his worn-out cotton jacket so that Qiang could wear it and live. The brothers working on the construction site didn't have an easy life, but it was really hard to find someone like Qiang. Everyone had a hard time, how many could he help?
Xie Yunshu raised her eyebrows: "Why should I mind? He bought the steamed buns, it's not for free!"
Li Shengli seemed to be a little disappointed with her answer. He was silent for a while and then laughed: "What are you going to cook tomorrow? You have to make more. There are at least fifty brothers on the construction site who need to eat. It's not enough for you to make so little!"
Xie Yunshu looked at the cauldron with only a few left and was unsure: "Who should I sell the leftovers to if I make too much?"
She had just started trying to do business, and she never thought it would be so smooth at the beginning, nor did she think that there would be so many people working and eating on a construction site.
Li Shengli seemed to have guessed her thoughts and pointed to the fenced-off construction site. "This is a building invested and built by a big boss from the south. There are dozens of coolies like us inside, working on the foundation, mixing concrete, driving cranes, and there are also many people wearing blue hats and white hats. Who doesn't need to eat? Listen to me, prepare food for ten people tomorrow and make sure it's sold out!"
뀖Ten?
Xie Yunshu widened his eyes slightly: "Brother, don't say anything to me!"
Li Shengli was helpless: "Why would I cheat you? Anyway, the twenty or so brothers who tie the steel bars must come here every day to eat. Didn't the foundation workers come here today?"
The food this girl cooks is delicious, fragrant and affordable, much better than eating steamed buns every day!
Before Xie Yunshu had time to calculate the bill in his mind, four or five workers came to eat, and soon the last few dishes were sold out...
She looked at her watch. It was only 12:10. Those who had eaten late might not have come out yet. If she thought so, then what the eldest brother said made sense.
How about preparing food for ten people tomorrow?
Xie Yunshu was tidying up the pots and pans, feeling very happy. With ten people, that meant a profit of about seven yuan a day. The more they sold, the higher the gross profit would be...
However, this required half more cooking than she had expected, which was a bit inconvenient at home, because there were too few balconies for cooking to accommodate a large pot, and it was too troublesome to get water, which would definitely not work in the long run...
But anyway, she has money in her pocket now!
She pedaled the tricycle very fast. Li Fenlan was waiting for her at the door. When they met, she asked, "Are you sold out?"
"It's over!" Xie Yunshu replied, his eyes sweeping over a few neighbors who were peeking in, and he deliberately said loudly: "There's nothing left! Mom, I just came back from the vegetable market and bought a piece of pork ribs. Let's make pork rib soup tonight!"
Xie Yunshu was fired from the clothing factory. Some people felt sorry for her, while others were naturally happy about her misfortune. Especially when they knew that she was planning to divorce Lu Zhixing and live alone, they were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself!
Why sell food and cook for a bunch of rotten mud-legged people? Aren't you ashamed? What can you do with the little money you earn in a day?
Now, after hearing that Xie Yunshu was going to buy pork ribs after only two days of business, Sister Liu who lived on the second floor immediately lectured her: "Yunshu, is the money you earned in two days enough to buy a meal of pork ribs? You have to live frugally! You are not like us who have formal jobs now. You have to calculate every penny you spend, otherwise you will regret it later!"
It sounded like it was for her own good, but in fact it was mocking her for having a hard time after losing her job.
Xie Yunshu smiled at her: "Sister Liu, how much does it cost to buy spareribs? I have to buy beef to stew tomorrow! Oh, you can't be reluctant to eat spareribs, they are obviously very cheap!"
A pound of spare ribs costs one yuan and twenty cents, and a family needs at least two pounds to have a meal. If it is not a special day such as a festival or the New Year, they are reluctant to eat it often.
Sister Liu knew that she was an articulate person, but she was still irritated: "Eat! If you can, eat meat every day!"
Xie Yunshu ignored her and took out the spare ribs she had bought and put them in Li Fenlan's hands. Then, when she passed by Grandma Zhang's door, she knocked on the door: "Grandma, I'll stew some braised spare ribs for you tonight! Stew them until they're tender!"
Grandma Zhang's voice came from the door: "Grandma, please steam the rice and come over!"
Xie Yunshu put the things away and drank two sips of water before going out: "Mom, I'm going to move the TV, you clean up the table at home!"
"TV?" Li Fenlan was stunned. She thought Xie Yunshu was just saying something in anger yesterday, but she didn't expect that she would actually have this idea. She quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, that TV was bought by the Lu family. What's the matter with you moving back to your parents' house?"
Xie Yunshu tied her hair neatly into a ponytail and smiled at her: "Who made Lu Zhixing owe me money?"
What's wrong with what the Lu family bought? Anyway, the Lu family has no shame, so why should she be so reserved? She just moved a TV. If other things could be moved, she could have emptied the house!
Chen Xue was hanging clothes in the family compound. She glanced at the room where Lu Zhixing lived and muttered, "The Lu family came yesterday, bringing Zhou Xinyue's mother..."
Mrs. Li pretended not to hear. She used to think that the Lu family was a wealthy family and Lu Zhixing was an intellectual, but now she felt that there was something wrong with this family. How could they allow another woman to marry into their family when their daughter-in-law hasn't divorced yet?
If Zhou Xinyue's son wasn't almost five years old, she would have thought that Xiaowei was Lu Zhixing's illegitimate child.
If Xie Yunshu's family also has a background, would the Lu family dare to do so? Not to mention having a background, even if her parents are still alive, they will never allow others to bully their daughter like this. Anyway, if her daughter suffers such an injustice, she will definitely go to the family's house and scratch their faces.
To put it bluntly, they are bullying Xie Yunshu because she comes from a single-parent family, her mother is unemployed and a softie, and her brother is only in high school and not yet an adult...
Chen Xue didn't even think about talking to her. She hung the clothes on the hook and started thinking about how to curry favor with Zhou Xinyue. She heard that Zhang Qingxiao and Lu Zhixing had helped her submit the application for a family compound, which would be approved soon. Would Xie Yunshu be able to hold back and continue living in her parents' home?
With her personality, she would definitely come back and tear Zhou Xinyue to pieces. Then she could help Zhou Xinyue and let her say something good about her in the future. Wouldn't her position as director of Youth League be secure?
