He waved his hand and said, "Don't say these useless things. How about this? Since you were introduced by my sister-in-law and she took special care of you, I will give you a discount. The price is 60 cents per pound. Is that ok? I'm only giving you this price because you want to support your son's education."
Su Luo did a quick calculation in her mind. The chickens on the market cost more than two yuan for a two or three pound chicken. In other words, it was about one yuan per pound of chicken. The cost of 0.60 cents was considered low.
"Okay, uncle!" Su Luo responded hurriedly: "Thank you very much, uncle! How about we sign the contract now? I see that your chicken farm is so formal, and cooperation should require a contract, right? I can't take advantage of you!"
Seeing her straightforwardness, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Sure, then sign it."
He took the two of them to a small office next door and asked someone to find an empty contract.
Zhao Jun has been running a chicken farm for many years and is familiar with the procedures. Therefore, he often keeps some blank contracts in his office, leaving the price, quantity, term and some other variables of the cooperation blank and filling them in temporarily with a pen. There will also be extra blank lines at the end of the contract to temporarily add other content.
Su Luo took the contract and glanced through it. Indeed, there was nothing wrong with it. She also trusted the person introduced by Aunt Niu, so after the two of them discussed it, they signed numbers and names in the contract, and their cooperation was finalized.
Zhao Jun was also a straightforward person. Since it was someone introduced by Niu Fang, he had nothing to worry about, so he said, "According to the contract, the chicken farm's truck will deliver the chicken to your house on the afternoon of a single day of each month. The chicken will be weighed and delivered on the spot, and the payment will be settled."
Su Luo nodded readily: "Okay."
This matter has been settled.
Zhao Jun wanted to keep Niu Fang for dinner, and Niu Fang looked at Su Luo.
Su Luo shook her head: "Aunt, you and Uncle Zhao can have dinner. I won't stay. I have to go home to cook for Yi Yi. I have other things to do in the afternoon, so I have to go back early."
Aunt Niu heard this and said, "Then I will go back with you."
Zhao Jun sighed, "Everyone is here, why go back? I just killed two chickens at noon, everyone stay and eat, there's plenty of chicken!"
Su Luo insisted, "Aunt, you can stay and have dinner here. You don't have to go back with me. I'll go back and finish cooking for Yi Yi. I have other things to do. You don't have anything to do anyway. It's just right to eat here before leaving, so you don't have to go home and cook again."
Zhao Jun glanced at Su Luo with satisfaction, and said to Niu Fang: "Look, all the kids say that."
Niu Fang thought about it and realized that there was nothing to do when she returned home. She was alone at home anyway, so she said, "Okay then. Xiaoluo, be careful when you return home."
"Hey!" Su Luo nodded.
Niu Fang added: "You don't have to go back to town to get the bucket. Just leave it with me and I'll bring it back to you later."
"Okay, thank you, auntie!" Su Luo was not polite and agreed with a smile.
Aunt Niu glanced at her with a smile: "Why are you being so polite to me?"
"Aunt, I'm leaving. Goodbye, Uncle Zhao." Su Luo didn't stay long. She said goodbye to the two of them and went home with the contract.
She did have something to do in the afternoon.
The chickens from the chicken farm will be delivered to her house tomorrow afternoon. She has to revise the manuscript of the novel in the afternoon. She will go to the county town tomorrow morning to hand in the second issue of the manuscript and ask for the royalties.
Su Luo returned home and Gu Yi was cooking sweet potatoes.
She was puzzled and asked, "We're having sweet potatoes for lunch? No more rice?"
Gu Yi was a little puzzled: "Cooking again?"
Su Luo was stunned by the question: "What do you eat if you don't eat?"
Gu Yi saw her bewildered look. Although she was very happy with the extravagance these days, he was also a little worried. He couldn't help but remind her: "Only very rich families can eat rice every day. Our family has no money. We eat sweet potatoes and rice alternately. We can live a better life if we save a little."
The three words "live a life" sound particularly funny when spoken by a seven-year-old kid.
But it made Su Luo's heart tremble. Children can mature prematurely, but it should not be because of financial difficulties.
She found that she always promised Gu Yi good things, but Gu Yi had never seen her make money.
Come to think of it, she still feels a little uneasy about the fact that she can make money.
She smiled and took out four dollars to show him: "Look what this is?"
Gu Yi's eyes lit up: "Money! Earned this morning?"
Su Luo raised her eyebrows proudly: "Yes! Two dollars in it are our family's capital, and the remaining two dollars are earned this morning."
Gu Yi was surprised and asked, "Can you make two dollars a day?"
Su Luo smiled and said, "That's not all, little idiot! Your mom said she would take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and she will definitely do it. Don't be afraid, you can eat as much as you want. Tomorrow, mom will take you to the newspaper office and let you see how I make money with my writing."
Gu Yi was shocked by her confident attitude, and a trace of admiration welled up in his eyes: "Making money with writing?"
Su Luo nodded: "Yes!" She walked to the pot and opened the lid. Inside was cooked sweet potatoes with some chopped green onions. It tasted sweet, but... not much oil.
There were still some leftover chicken intestines in the kitchen, so she said to Gu, "Then let's eat sweet potatoes as the staple food today. Serve up the sweet potato porridge, and I'll cook two dishes."
Gu nodded, looked at Su Luo's busy back, found a basin of sweet potatoes, and couldn't help but said: "That..."
Su Luo didn't even turn her head: "Call me mom."
Gu Yi was silent.
Su Luo continued: "Otherwise I won't answer your question."
Gu Yi looked at her in surprise: "How do you know I want to ask you a question?"
Su Luo turned and grinned at him: "Because I am a great immortal, I have magic and can read minds."
Gu Yi: “…”
Su Luo prepared the chicken offal in a good mood, cutting it into small pieces and marinating it.
Gu Yi finally couldn't help it: "Mom... to make money with words, do I need to know a lot of words?"
Su Luo guessed that he was going to ask this, and while busy with her work, she said, "Yes, your mother knows a lot of characters. Except for some uncommon characters, she knows almost all the others."
Gu Yi's admiration became stronger and stronger: "Why didn't you tell me before that you can read?"
Su Luo lied casually: "I used to hate intellectuals and didn't want people to know that I can read, but now I suddenly don't hate them anymore."
Gu Yi felt excited. After he called out "Mom" for the first time, the rest became much easier. "Mom, can you teach me to read?"
Su Luo said: "I'm too lazy to teach you. I'll be busy soon and school will start. I'll take you to school, baby, you can study by yourself."
