Chapter 34
Zhou Yao took two cold showers before he calmed down completely. He walked back into the room with his upper body naked and heavy steps. Wen Yue was already sleeping on the bed, lying on her back, as if the whole bed belonged to her, leaving no space for anyone.
“…Tsk.”
Zhou Yao sighed softly, stared at the little person on the bed for ten seconds, squinted his eyes, and took two steps forward to the bed. He gently pushed away the hands and feet that occupied his position, got on the bed, and then used his long arms to grab Wen Yue directly into his arms.
He let her head rest on his arms, hugged her tightly, and clasped her mischievous legs between his legs.
The feeling of being imprisoned made Wen Yue frown and struggled for a few times, whimpering. But Zhou Yao's strong arms were not something she could push away with her strength. After struggling for a long time without success, she had to give up, find a comfortable position, rub her body and continue to sleep.
Zhou Yao was satisfied and closed his eyes peacefully.
…
The school started morning self-study at 6:30, and Wen Yue woke up at 5:00.
Wen Yue went to bed early and got up early. She rubbed her cheeks twice with her eyes squinted, and suddenly realized that the touch of her cheeks was not right. It was warm and soft, but not particularly soft.
She rubbed it again subconsciously and touched something hard.
Wen Yue opened her eyes blankly. The moon outside the window was already blocked by clouds. The light in the room was dim, and she could only vaguely see some rough outlines. She saw that there seemed to be a wall in front of her, a wall of people.
What catches the eye are the firm and tight pectoral muscles. Moving the eyes upwards, you can see the protruding and sexy Adam's apple. Going down, you can see the well-defined abdominal muscles, which rise and fall slightly with the breathing. They look very nice to touch.
Wen Yue’s mind paused: “…”
What kind of man's body is this? It's still asleep.
She blinked slowly and moved, only to find that her legs were firmly clamped in. She pulled her hands out with great effort and poked the chest muscles in front of her twice.
It is very elastic, feels good, and has a slightly high temperature.
Wen Yue happily poked twice, and the chest muscles touched by her fingertips suddenly became hard. She raised her eyelids and looked into Zhou Yao's dark and deep eyes. There seemed to be a dark storm rolling in his eyes, surging and surging.
"Morning, morning." Wen Yue shyly withdrew her hand, her eyes crooked, a little embarrassed: "You woke up too. Did you not sleep well last night again?" Otherwise, why would he hold her so tightly that she could hardly move.
Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows, and the sleepy look in his eyes gradually became clear. He continued to stare at Wen Yue and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's probably not good." Wen Yue moved her feet and blinked her eyes: "I have to get up..."
Zhou Yao didn't move.
Wen Yue swallowed her saliva: "I still have to go to class..."
Only then did Zhou Yao relax his legs.
Wen Yue sat up quickly, stepped over Zhou Yao, put on her shoes, and ran out of the house.
Staring at Wen Yue's flustered back, Zhou Yao raised the corners of his lips and snorted, then crossed his hands behind his head and sighed softly.
…
Wen Yue had just finished washing up when Zhou Yao came out of the room, yawning and sitting in front of the earthen stove, lighting a fire: "Noodles or eggs?"
"I want to eat sweet potato porridge." Wen Yue blinked her moist eyes and answered softly. It's easy to get tired of eating noodles every day, especially without臊子.
Maybe she can make a pot of stew on the weekend.
But it’s too hot to store now, and there’s no refrigerator…
"After we sell all the items and share the profits with Nian Qiu, let's buy a refrigerator," Wen Yue discussed with Zhou Yao who was washing rice.
Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows: "Refrigerator"
"Yes." Wen Yue nodded, "With a refrigerator, I can pack more dumplings and put them in the refrigerator. They can be stored for a long time."
Zhou Yao: “Okay, buy it.”
He should not hesitate.
After breakfast, Wen Yue said goodbye to Zhou Yao and walked to school with her schoolbag on her back. It was still dawn, and the streets were full of students going to school for morning self-study. Wen Yue felt as if she had returned to her high school days in her previous life.
When he arrived at the classroom, Li Nianqiu sat in his seat reading as usual.
"Nian Qiu, good morning." Wen Yue greeted.
Li Nianqiu looked up from the book and replied with a smile: "Good morning."
There was no teacher in the morning self-study class. However, the desire of people in this era to go to college was much stronger than that of later generations, so they did not need a teacher to watch over them, and their attention would be focused on the textbooks.
The morning classes are over and it's time for lunch and a break.
Wen Yue wanted to wash her hair, so after eating in the cafeteria with Li Nianqiu, she went back to the alley to boil water. Zhou Yao was not at home at the moment, and he should still be setting up a stall on South Street.
She thought about it, and while waiting for the water to boil, she kneaded some dough. After washing her hair, she rolled out the hand-rolled noodles while waiting for her hair to dry. Before leaving, she put the rolled noodles upside down in an enamel basin, left a note on the table, and left.
…
Zhou Yao is setting up a stall on South Street. Today is not a market day, so there may be more young people in the market only at lunchtime.
He waited for a while, and sure enough, a group of female workers came at noon. When they saw his stall, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Today, hey! Today, I'm setting up a stall!"
"I thought I couldn't buy it. That necklace is so beautiful. I would be upset for a long time if I couldn't buy it!"
"The day before yesterday, Cui Cui from the next group was wearing necklaces and bracelets in front of me every day to show off, as if no one could afford them. Humph! If I hadn't taken a day off that day and stayed at home, I would have bought them a long time ago..."
"The comrades setting up the stall are very handsome!"
Zhou Yao received this group of somewhat excited customers with a calm expression. He was not as good at speaking as Ren Yeliang. He just said they could try them on and then stood aside with his hands around his chest, watching the group of girls chattering excitedly.
Before this group left, another group of younger people came to the market entrance. They looked young and were obviously students. Among them there was a familiar figure.
"Today! Hurry, hurry, there are so many people, hurry over!"
"What are you buying today? A necklace or a card? My dad gave me some of his own money to buy a necklace for my mom. Hehe, I can get a bracelet!"
"I also bought a necklace and took some of the pocket money I had saved for a long time."
Wen Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I bought the right hairpin."
When they arrived at the stall, their eyes were immediately attracted by the necklaces, bracelets and hairpins placed on the ground.
Zhou Yao said in a deep voice: "You can try it on."
Hearing this familiar voice, Wen Xiaoyu paused in selecting the hairpin, looked up, and saw Zhou Yao taking the money handed to him.
He has a strong and handsome jawline, deep eyebrows, and thin lips. He is wearing a black shirt, which makes him look less ruffian and more refined. He looks very handsome, and his coldness makes him look so cool.
"Zhou Yao" Wen Xiaoyu was stunned for two seconds. When she first came in, she was only focused on chatting with the people around her and didn't notice that the person setting up the stall was Zhou Yao.
So the necklaces, bracelets and hairpins on the stall are all from Zhou Yao.
Wen Xiaoyu glanced at the jewelry on the stall that sparkled in the sunlight, her eyes flickered and her mind became active. But she was not sure whether Zhou Yao would pay attention to her based on his personality, so she endured it and followed her friends to choose the jewelry she liked.
"Xiaoyu, take a look at this necklace." The friend picked up a necklace made entirely of pearls.
Wen Xiaoyu glanced at it casually: "Hmm, it looks good!"
My friend was very happy: "Then I'll choose this one for my mom! Boss, if I buy this one, can I choose a bracelet myself?"
Zhou Yao moved his gaze over, took the money handed over by the girl, and said, "Here, take your pick." His eyes did not linger on Wen Xiaoyu, like a stranger.
Wen Xiaoyu began to feel uncomfortable again.
"Xiaoyu, have you made your choice?" The friend happily picked a red rope bracelet and tied it on her other wrist. After admiring it for a while, she turned around and asked Wen Xiaoyu.
Wen Xiaoyu exclaimed, and picked up the pair of hairpins with tassel pendants that she liked: "Isn't this right? I think this pair is pretty."
My friend nodded: "It is indeed beautiful. I have been struggling for a long time between this one and the one I bought."
"Then I'll buy this one." Wen Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Yao, smiled, and deliberately pinched her throat to ask: "Zhou Yao, how much is this pair of hairpins?"
Zhou Yao said coldly: "Three pieces."
"Zhou Yao, did you buy all these?" Wen Xiaoyu took out three yuan from her pocket and handed it to him, smiling and asking: "Where did you buy them from?"
Not only her, other girls also looked over curiously.
Zhou Yao sighed: "The goods are imported from Shencheng."
Wen Xiaoyu was surprised: "You went to Shanghai"
Zhou Yao was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned around to collect the money.
"Xiaoyu, do you know this boss?" The friend poked Wen Xiaoyu's shoulder with a little envy: "I think this boss is so handsome, not inferior to those stars on the posters. Who is he to you?"
Wen Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled. Facing her friend's envious eyes, her vanity was greatly satisfied: "Hey, he and I are from the same village. My parents have a good relationship with his parents. They even arranged a marriage for us before..."
My friend exclaimed: "Then you should get married."
Wen Xiaoyu's face froze: "No, I don't like him, so our engagement is invalid. When I get into college, I'll also find a college student to marry."
“But he’s very handsome.”
Wen Xiaoyu: "There must be handsome guys in the university. What's the point of having a good-looking face? He only went to elementary school."
My friend sighed with regret when she heard this: "What a pity." If they only had elementary school education, their education level is indeed a bit low. After all, they are high school students! Even if they can't get into college, their future is bright after graduating from high school!
After shopping, the group of high school girls happily walked back. Wen Xiaoyu followed them for two steps, then suddenly stopped and said, "You guys go back first. I just remembered that I have something to do. I'll come find you later."
"Okay, then hurry up, the class will start soon."
Wen Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, turned around and went back to South Street.
Zhou Yao is packing up now.
Wen Xiaoyu walked over quickly, stood in front of Zhou Yao and shouted: "Zhou Yao! When did you go to Shencheng? What is Shencheng like? Tell me about it."
Zhou Yao didn't even bother to look at her. He silently packed his things and put them into the backpack beside him, then picked up the basket and walked out.
"Zhou Yao! We have known each other for so many years, is it necessary for you to treat me like this? It's not that I don't want to fulfill the engagement, it's my mother who doesn't like you. Why are you angry with me..." Although I guessed that Zhou Yao would be indifferent.
But even though she was treated like this, Wen Xiaoyu still couldn't hold back, and her words were filled with strong complaints.
Zhou Yao paused, turned his head and glanced at Wen Xiaoyu, and gave a meaningful smile: "Indeed, I should thank your mother for letting me marry Wen Yue instead of you."
Wen Xiaoyu: “…”
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, high school students don't understand what I'm saying." Zhou Yao snorted, ignored Wen Xiaoyu and continued walking forward. He had to go home for dinner and didn't have time to waste with unimportant people.
Wen Xiaoyu was left standing there gritting her teeth, her anger towards Wen Yue growing stronger.
…
Today is Friday. School ends early on Friday afternoons, so that students who live on campus can go home and do not need to attend evening self-study. Li Nianqiu, who was packing books next to Wen Yuchong, said: "Nianqiu, bring Xiangdong to the yard tomorrow. We will have hot pot in the evening. Why don't you come with us?"
"After dinner, stay at our place for one night. Let Zhou Yao squeeze in with Lao Fang and the other two, and you, Xiangdong and I can squeeze in. The bed is big enough to accommodate the three of us."
Facing the warm, bright and round eyes, Li Nianqiu couldn't say no and could only nod in agreement: "Okay, I will bring Xiangdong over tomorrow."
Wen Yue smiled and said: "Then I will wait for you."
She carried her schoolbag and walked out of the campus with Li Nianqiu.
Zhou Yao knew that they had to finish school early today, so he waited at the school gate. Wen Yue saw Zhou Yao, waved goodbye to Li Nianqiu, and told her to come early tomorrow and bring Grandma Fang and Lulu with her. Li Nianqiu agreed.
“How’s business today?”
Zhou Yao took the backpack from Wen Yue, lifted it with one hand and swung it over his shoulder, raised his eyebrows and replied: "It's OK, but it's definitely not as good as the ones in the market."
Wen Yue certainly knew this.
The two chatted casually as they returned to the alley courtyard. As they approached the courtyard, Wen Yue saw the coal stove next to the earthen stove and a lot of beehive coal piled up in the firewood storage area.
She said, "I bought the coal stove back."
Zhou Yao raised his chin: "Yes, it is available in the county town."
Wen Yue gave Zhou Yao a thumbs up to show his approval of his action: "Really quick, I told Nian Qiu that she and Xiang Dong will come over tomorrow and stay with us tonight. You can squeeze in with Lao Fang and the others tomorrow night, okay?"
Wen Yue blinked her clear eyes, her eyes sparkling and unconsciously showing coquettishness.
Zhou Yao couldn't bear it at all, he was silent for two seconds and then nodded.
Wen Yue smiled and said, her eyes curved into crescents: "I knew you were the best. I'll go do my homework first." Finish your homework early so that you can have fun during the two-day weekend.
"I'm going to buy some groceries to eat tonight," Zhou Yao nodded.
Wen Yue walked into the house: "It's all right, buy whatever you want."
There was a table under the window in the room, with good light, and Wen Yue sat at the table doing her homework. After a while, Zhou Yao, who had gone out to buy groceries, probably came back and was busy in the yard, with occasional rustling sounds.
After an unknown amount of time, Ren Yeliang's voice came from outside the yard: "Brother! Brother Yao! Come and help!"
Soon there were more noises in the yard, including several unfamiliar voices.
Wen Yue was about to get up to look when she saw several people carrying a light green single-door refrigerator into the house. Zhou Yao was directing them and placing the brand new light green refrigerator in an empty space in the house.
After the master plugged in the power and checked it, he turned around and said a few words to Zhou Yao, and then they left the room, wiping their sweat. Only Zhou Yao, Ren Yeliang, Fang Shitao and Wen Yue were left in the room.
"...Refrigerator" Wen Yue widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Yao blankly.
"Yes! A refrigerator!" Ren Yeliang stared at the refrigerator curiously for a few times, "Brother Yao said that you wanted to buy one, so he asked me and Lao Fang to bring one back." As he spoke, he couldn't help but open the door, and a gust of cold air hit his face.
"Wow, it's so cool, no wonder one unit costs fifteen hundred yuan." Ren Yeliang felt pain in his heart when he thought of the price.
Wen Yue turned her gaze towards Zhou Yao.
Didn't he give her all his money before? Where did he get the money to buy a refrigerator for fifteen thousand...
Since Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao were both there, Wen Yue didn't ask. She just looked at the refrigerator, which seemed very old-fashioned to her: "I'll make some buns and dumplings later and put them in the refrigerator. You can cook them in the morning if you want to eat them."
Ren Yeliang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is so nice, thank you! By the way, this is the money from today's sales." He turned around, took out the money in a plastic bag from his backpack and handed it to Wen Yue.
Wen Yue took it and said thank you in the same way.
"Have you finished your homework?" Zhou Yao asked.
Wen Yue glanced at the exercises on the table: "Almost there."
Zhou Yao: “Then you write it.”
He patted Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao and told them to get out of the room and not disturb Wen Yue from doing her homework.
Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao looked at the textbooks and exercises on the table with awe, and quickly left the room without making any sound, for fear of interrupting Wen Yue's thoughts. They were illiterate people who had never been to school, and they had a natural fear and admiration for educated people.
After finishing her homework, Wen Yue walked out of the room and found that the three of them had already washed and prepared the dishes, just waiting for her to cook.
Not to mention, cooking seems to be a lot more stress-free with three people helping out. Some people wash the vegetables and some wash the dishes.
After dinner, she took a bath. Since she didn't need to get up early to study tomorrow, Wen Yue didn't go to bed that early. She sat cross-legged on the bed, reading a book in her hand. She and Li Nianqiu borrowed this book from the bookstore together.
She and Li Nianqiu had already learned almost everything in their senior year of high school. They only needed to review during class and could use the rest of the time to read extracurricular books to replenish their knowledge.
After watching for a while, Zhou Yao returned to the room, all steamy.
Zhou Yao was wearing a white tank top, his hair was wet, with water drops running down his sturdy arms. His dark eyes glanced at the book in Wen Yue's hand several times, and he casually pushed back his overly long bangs, revealing his sharp, dark eyebrows and narrow, deep eyes.
Seeing Zhou Yao staring at the book in his hand, Wen Yue asked with a smile: "Do you want to read it together?"
Zhou Yao looked away and said in a dull voice, "I'm just an elementary school graduate, how can I understand these things?"
"What's wrong with graduating from elementary school? You're so smart, you must be able to understand it." Wen Yue waved her hand, "If there are any words you don't understand, I'll teach you, come on." It's always good to recognize more words and read more books.
Zhou Yao pursed his lips upon hearing that, then got on the bed closer to Wen Yue, sat next to her, and his tall figure directly enveloped her.
The two of them put their arms together. One was tight and strong, the other was soft and delicate. The man's high temperature made Wen Yue feel uncomfortable for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself, entered the role of a teacher, and turned the book back to the first page.
The girl's soft voice lingered in his ears, and Zhou Yao couldn't focus on the book at all at first.
Some of those words were familiar, some were not so familiar. At this moment, they were completely unfamiliar to him. In his eyes, they turned into ants, drilling into his ears and crawling gently to his heart, causing a slight tingling sensation.
"Zhou Yao, be serious!" Wen Yue's soft voice was a little angry, and her watery eyes were brighter than usual when she was angry.
Zhou Yao coughed twice with a guilty conscience: "I'm serious about this."
Wen Yue: "Then repeat what I just said."
Zhou Yao was silent: "..."
Wen Yue gritted her teeth: "From your expression I can tell you didn't listen carefully, and you still want to lie to me!" This is just like a student who is absent-minded during class, thinking that the teacher can't find out, but he doesn't know that the teacher standing on the podium can see it clearly.
Zhou Yao raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm wrong, I must listen carefully now."
Wen Yue snorted twice: "You'd better."
Zhou Yao perked up and tried his best to focus on Wen Yue's words. As he listened, he actually understood some of the meaning, and thought that if he had met a teacher like his wife when he went to school, maybe he would not find studying boring.
The night gradually deepened.
Wen Yue yawned, tears of sleepiness spilling from the corners of her eyes: "Let's watch it tomorrow. I'm sleepy."
"Okay, go to sleep." Zhou Yao smiled, got up from the bed and turned off the lights.
Wen Yue was really sleepy. Within two minutes of lying down on the bed, her breathing became steady and her face was peaceful. The moment Zhou Yao put her hands and feet over, he pressed them down skillfully, and gently hooked his long hand, rubbed Wen Yue's furry head, and closed his eyes to sleep.
The next day, when Wen Yue opened her eyes and faced Zhou Yao closely, her expression was blank for two seconds before she regained her composure. She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, thinking that she didn't need to go to class today, and closed her eyes and took a nap again.
When I woke up again, there was no one around me and the yard was quiet. Zhou Yao had probably gone to the market with Ren Yeliang to set up a stall to do business.
Wen Yue got up, washed, cooked some dumplings, did the laundry, cleaned the house, and then read for a while.
They would not be back at noon, so Wen Yue ate some noodles and spent the afternoon sitting in front of the sewing machine. At around 3pm, she went out to buy groceries.
Chicken, beef, pork...
Potatoes, cabbage, straw mushrooms...
Buy some vermicelli by the way.
The most important thing about hot pot is the seasoning and the base of the pot. There were not enough seasonings at home, so Wen Yue went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of seasonings that she didn't have at home. There were too many things, and when she put them down at home, she saw that her white and tender fingers were left with several red marks.
It was a bit painful, so Wen Yue blew on it twice, took out the vegetables from the bag, put them into a large iron basin, and washed them carefully with water.
After washing for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Yueyue, are you at home?" Li Nianqiu's voice came from outside the door.
Wen Yue responded loudly: "Coming"
She opened the gate, and Li Nianqiu and her sister, Grandma Fang, and Lulu were all standing outside. Wen Yue smiled and said, "Come in."
"Why are you washing so many vegetables?" Li Nianqiu saw the vegetables in the big iron basin at a glance and was a little surprised.
Wen Yue smiled and said, "There are so many people, so we must prepare more."
"I'll help you wash." Li Nianqiu rolled up his sleeves.
Wen Yue didn't refuse. She just refused Grandma Fang's help and moved a chair to the yard for her to sit and rest.
“How are they selling?”
“It’s said to be good.”
The two of them were chatting while washing vegetables.
After washing the vegetables, I started cutting them for later use. I sliced the potatoes, beef and pork and put them in the refrigerator until Zhou Yao and the others came back. After all, this was the time when the autumn heat was at its most powerful.
Around six o'clock, Zhou Yao and his two companions arrived home.
Wen Yue had already lit the stove and prepared the pot base. Considering Grandma Fang's age, she only put a little bit of chili in it, thinking that those who liked chili could just put more in the dipping sauce later.
The aroma from the pot wafted through the courtyard.
Ren Yeliang snorted wildly as soon as he entered the room: "This smells so good!"
"You're back." Wen Yue's eyes fell on Zhou Yao. "Just right, go wash your hands, and you can eat later."
The stove was placed next to the table, which was filled with dishes. Wen Yue put potatoes and some meat in the pot first, then took the bowl to get the dipping sauce: "Do you need me to help you with the dipping sauce?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, sister-in-law," Ren Yeliang responded with a smile.
Wen Yue: “You’re welcome. How much chili should I put? The base of this pot isn’t that spicy.”
"Put more."
Zhou Yao washed his hands, went into the house and took out several bottles of iced soda from the refrigerator. He bought them and kept them chilled just to drink them while eating hot pot in the evening.
"Oh my god, brother is really thoughtful. There's even soda to drink!" Ren Yeliang hurried over to help get the soda.
Zhou Yao whispered, "There's some in the refrigerator. Go get it yourself after you finish drinking it."
The bottom of the pot rolls, and the ingredients put in float toward the bubbles.
Wen Yue: “It’s time to eat.”
Because the coal stove was next to the table, they couldn't sit down, so they simply gathered around the coal stove with their bowls in hand and ate standing up with their dipping bowls. The aroma filled everyone's nose, and to be honest it was a little hot, but they didn't care at all and couldn't wait to start picking up the dishes.
Ren Yeliang picked up a piece of beef, rolled it twice in the bowl, and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it for just a few bites when his eyes lit up: "Delicious...hiss, so hot, so hot, so hot...it's so delicious. It must be my sister-in-law. Everything she cooks is so delicious...hiss, so hot, so hot..."
He stamped his feet because of the burn.
Zhou Yao glanced at him with disdain: "If you eat it after it gets cold, you'll die."
Ren Yeliang: “Hehe, can’t wait.”
"It's delicious." Li Nianqiu also nodded in praise, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Li Xiangdong's bowl, and repeated what he had said before: "If Yueyue opens a store, business will definitely be very good."
Being praised always makes people feel good. Wen Yue's eyes curved, "Then you guys eat more. I bought a lot of food today, enough."
"Right, right." Ren Yeliang picked up a potato chip, thinking that this thing was also delicious, and said vaguely: "I have something good to tell you. When I went to the market to set up a stall today, a boss told me that he wanted to place an order from us."
Li Nianqiu immediately looked away and asked: "How much?"
Ren Yeliang said: "At least 5,000 necklaces, 5,000 bracelets and 3,000 pairs of hairpins. One week is required. The wholesale price I told him is 5 yuan for a necklace, 3 yuan for a bracelet, and 1.5 yuan for a pair of hairpins."
Li Nianqiu frowned when he heard this: "One week, the time is too tight."
Ren Yeliang: "That's what I said, but the boss said he would stay here for a week at most and leave right away. If that doesn't work out, I'll reject it tomorrow."
Li Nianqiu pursed his lips and said nothing, his brows tightly furrowed.
If they get this order, after deducting the material and labor costs, they can get more than 10,000 yuan. For them, this is a big order, and they will definitely make money if they can.
"Don't refuse." Li Nianqiu said, "Agree to it, and I'll find more people to do it tomorrow."
After selling the goods for a few days, they no longer had enough. Bringing Grandma Fang to the alley in the county town meant that the girls in the village had taken the money and left, so they had to find someone new.
She said with a determined look: "This is a big order. We can make a lot of money. We have to get it no matter what. Don't sell the remaining goods in the next two days. We can get more people to work for two days to complete this order. If there are similar orders, take them all. I think there will definitely be more bosses coming to visit later."
Ren Yeliang held a piece of meat in his mouth and looked at Zhou Yao subconsciously.
Zhou Yao said nothing and glanced at Wen Yue beside him.
Wen Yue: ""
No, look at what she does.
She took a bite of the potato chips she had just taken out of the pot, and her teeth were burned. She hissed and blinked: "I support it."
"Okay." Zhou Yao saw that the pot was almost empty, so he picked up the plate on the table and used the serving chopsticks to add food to the pot. "Leave the matter of finding someone to Yeliang. He is more familiar with the county. I will rent the yard next door tomorrow and let them work there."
"Find those who are particularly short of money. They will be more likely to accept confidentiality and work more carefully and quickly." Li Nianqiu said to Ren Yeliang.
Her eyebrows and eyes are indifferent, but if you look closely, her pupils seem to be shining brightly. Whenever she talks about making money, Li Nianqiu's expression always becomes more lively, exuding a special temperament that is very attractive.
Ren Yeliang was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly responded: "...Okay, okay."
With such good news, the atmosphere became more lively than before. Everyone was chatting and laughing while eating hot pot, with smiles on their faces and eyes, full of expectations for the future.
The job of cleaning up after dinner was contracted to three men.
There was hot water boiling in the back pot. Wen Yue asked Li Nianqiu and her sister to take a bath first, and then she went. After the bath, the three girls sat on the bed and chatted.
Wen Yue pulled out three white plastic buckets from under the bed that were used to store money, opened the lids and poured them onto the bed, then waved at the two of them: "Come on, count the money together, and then divide it up."
Looking at the banknotes covering the bed, even the calm Li Nianqiu was dumbfounded: "You haven't counted them yet."
Wen Yue shook her head and smiled: "No, I'm waiting for you to come with me."
Li Nianqiu also raised the corners of his lips: "Okay."
"We'll have to redistribute the orders coming in later," Li Nianqiu said. "These accessories were all your idea, so the lion's share is still yours. You'll get 40%, and the rest will be 1.50% each to me and them."
Wen Yue exclaimed and waved her hands: "I've already taken a lot before, so let's split the next orders equally. For five people, 20% each is just right." She had already taken a lot of advantage with the previous 30%, so how could she continue to take the lion's share?
Seeing Wen Yue's insistence, Li Nianqiu smiled helplessly: "Okay, then we'll each take 20%." That is to say, after deducting the cost of materials and labor, each of them can earn at least five to six thousand or seven to eight thousand yuan from this order.
This is a lot of money.
The room fell silent as they counted the money seriously.
When the clock pointed to twelve, the messy banknotes on the bed were neatly stacked, and the three of them turned their aching necks at the same time and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the counting was finished.
"I have 25233.23.
"Where are you?" Wen Yue glanced at the clock and it was already twelve o'clock in the morning. The denominations were too small, so it would take a long time to count them. If she were alone, it would probably take her a whole day.
Li Nianqiu: “I also have 24789.98.”
Li Xiangdong blinked his eyes, a little excited, and exclaimed: "I counted twelve thousand here, exactly!"
Li Nianqiu calculated the total in almost two seconds: "62023.21.
It's about what I expected." They prepared nearly 20,000 necklaces and bracelets, and about 3,000 pairs of card holders. Currently, two-thirds of the quantity has been sold.
Most of the sellers are in the market. Ren Yeliang and Fang Shitao sold a lot of them in the market.
"Let's take out the decimal of 23.21 and say it's 62,000. According to what we divided before, I only need to take 18,600." Li Nianqiu calculated very quickly. When he mentioned this profit, his smile became brighter. "Add in the wages you paid before, my final profit is 17,000."
Wen Yue was surprised by the amount: "We made so much in just a few days..."
Li Nianqiu smiled and said, "Doesn't the preparation time during the summer vacation count?"
Wen Yue: “That’s only been two months.”
Li Nianqiu: "It's mainly because the things you make are beautiful and everyone likes them. It's thanks to you that we can make so much money."
Wen Yue felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "That was also your idea."
