Chapter 42: Not Revealing Your Cards



I won't let this little guy succeed. He wants to find out his bottom line, but I won't show him any cards.

“I’m seven years older than you. I’m your brother, so why am I not an adult?

You also need to remember what I just said!

Be careful of Gao Acai's family."

"Okay! Got it!"

At night, Gao Miao waited until Gao Zhi fell asleep, and then went to the kitchen to find Xie.

"Mom, Jiaojiao knows a lot because she has..."

"Don't say it!" Xie interrupted Gao Miao, "Don't say it! If you say it, it will be a leak of the secret, and our Jiaojiao will be upset.

I understand! I will listen to everything Jiaojiao says!

No matter what Jiaojiao says or does, I won’t find it strange.

Because she is our beloved, our lucky girl, she should be different, right? "

Xie raised Gao Zhi for more than a year. From the first day she brought Gao Zhi home, strange things happened one after another. Then there was Gao Miao's dream that he could predict the future in advance, and Gao Miao was called a master.

Xie thought about it countless times in private.

She had long accepted Gao Zhi's uniqueness.

In her heart, Gao Zhi was the little fairy given by the Bodhisattva to them, mother and son.

The little fairy naturally knows everything.

Gao Miao looked at Xie in surprise.

Xie smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "You little bastard, you think your mother is a fool. Why are you looking at her like that?

When your mother was little, she heard many magical stories from your grandpa and grandma. "

"Hehe!" Gao Miao laughed, "My mother is so smart! My mother is the best mother."

"Flattery!"

The mother and son smiled at each other.

Xie had already learned to drive a ox cart. The next morning, Xie took Gao Zhi to the town to sell braised meat.

This is what Gao Zhi requested before going to bed.

Gao Miao also followed, but he also carried a bag and went to the town first to help sell things.

Gao Ronghua and Gao Yunting will arrive later, and they will go to the vegetable market to find Gao Miao.

Gao Zhi is pretty, has a sweet little mouth, and her smile is even sweeter.

She stood on a stool and shouted loudly.

"Braised meat, delicious."

"Meat pie, so delicious."

"Come and buy it, you will become more beautiful after eating it."

Almost all of the customers who come here are Xie’s old customers, and many of them know that Xie has a daughter.

When the child was young, Xie carried the child on her back while doing business, but later on, Xie no longer carried the child on her back.

Judging from the time, it should be the little girl in front of me.

"Sister, your daughter is so pretty. I haven't seen her for a long time. Her little mouth is so sweet."

Xie smiled and nodded.

Gao Zhi immediately asked in a baby voice: "Auntie, how much meat do you want, how many cakes do you want?

These are delicious!

My mother made it, it’s very good.”

Gao Zhi is very good at acting cute, and sometimes she even pronounces her words unclearly on purpose.

Everyone thought she was cute and couldn't help but tease her.

The result of teasing Gao Zhi is to buy braised meat and cakes.

The little guy is selling very well.

Those big wet eyes look at you, as if they can speak, as if the child will feel wronged if you don’t buy it.

Such a lovely child, no one wants to let her suffer any injustice.

You can only suffer for your wallet.

The braised meat is selling particularly well today.

When Gao Ronghua and his friends came over, the braised meat was sold out.

In the basket, Xie had packed more than a dozen cakes.

"Xiao Miao, take this with you!"

Gao Miao nodded and put it away.

Gao Zhi grabbed Xie's sleeve and shook it gently, "Mom, the things are sold out. Let's send my brother off. I want to go to the academy."

Xie agreed immediately.

Gao Yunting and Gao Miao looked at Gao Zhi at the same time, and both guys reached out their hands at the same time.

Gao Miao glanced at Gao Yunting, and Gao Yunting silently withdrew his hand, feeling extremely depressed.

Gao Miao is like this every time.

As long as Gao Miao is around, he can't get too close to Jiaojiao, not even to hug her or tease her.

Gao Miao is a stingy person!

Gao Miao held Gao Zhi and put her on the ox cart, then packed up things with Xie.

Xie said, "Xiao Miao, go talk to Uncle Liu. I'll go get the things later."

"Okay."

Gao Miao hurried to the meat stall in the vegetable market.

Uncle Liu was the meat stall owner from a year ago. Over the past year, Uncle Liu had always helped prepare the pig heads and offal that Gao Miao requested.

Uncle Liu knows someone in the pork selling circle, so it is convenient for him to get these things.

The price has always been right.

No one will raise the price.

Mrs. Xie also knows how to behave. Whenever a pork seller comes to buy braised pork, she will tell him the cost price.

Back and forth.

Everyone is happy to leave things to them.

Anyway, before Xie’s made braised meat, this stuff often couldn’t be sold and was just thrown away.

Especially pig offal.

Now they can sell out every day, which is much better for them than before.

People should be contented.

Gao Miao came out of the market quickly and Xie had already put away the things.

"Let's go!"

"good!"

Gao Ronghua drove the ox cart in front and led the way, while Xie followed behind.

A quarter of an hour later, two ox carts stopped in front of the gate of Yuanshan Academy.

Xie and Gao Zhi couldn't go in, so they just watched from the door as Gao Ronghua and Gao Miao went in.

Gao Miao and Gao Yunting looked back frequently, both of them were reluctant to leave Gao Zhi.

Gao Zhi smiled and waved from behind.

Gao Miao thought to himself, "What a heartless little girl! We won't see each other for almost a month, and she seems so happy."

Gao Ronghua didn't come out so quickly.

Xie and Gao Zhi first went back to the town to get their things, and then went straight back to the village.

On the way, Gao Zhi sat next to Xie.

"Mom, starting from the day after tomorrow, we won't come to town to sell braised meat and cakes anymore."

"Ah?" Xie was startled. "Why?"

It’s such a good business that I have been relying on it to support my family for more than a year.

Suddenly not for sale!

Xie really couldn't bear to let her go.

Gao Zhi explained: "It's too tiring! I don't want my mother to be so tired, we can find someone to sell it.

We prepare braised meat and pancakes at home so that people from the village can come to our house to buy them.

We sell them the braised pork for ten cents and the dried plum cakes for two cents, and they then bring them up to sell.

But we have to tell them in advance that the price they sell at must be according to our price.

We must be honest and trustworthy in doing business.”

Xie couldn't understand this situation. She thought it would be better for her to work harder, at least she could earn more money.

Although they could still make some money as Gao Zhi said, a portion of meat cost two cents less and a piece of bread cost one cent less.

It may not seem like much, but it adds up.

In the long run, that's not a small number.

Gao Miao went to the academy, which was another big expense. Xie was thinking of doing more every day, but she didn't expect Gao Zhi to suddenly make such a suggestion.

"Jiaojiao, Mom is not afraid of hard work! I just need to go out and sell some things. Mom is used to it. It's not tiring."

Gao Zhi knew that Xie was reluctant to do so, so she carefully explained the reasons for doing so.

"Mom, did Gao Miao ask you to listen to me before he left?"

"Yes!" Xie immediately explained: "Jiaojiao, I don't mean to disobey you, it's just..."

"I just can't bear to give it up. I feel like I've earned less money." Gao Zhi could understand. "Mom, please listen to me first."

"Okay, you go ahead!"
