Chapter 15 Deathly Silence (1/2)



Zhao Taohua knew he was having trouble figuring it out again, so she told him the answer. "Excluding the cost of the small ingredients and the car fare, nine cents, plus six cents for Fushun Building, that's fifteen hundred cents."

Everyone in the Zhao family: "..."

Silence, deathly silence.

After all, knowing that business was good was one thing, but putting the accounts clearly in front of them was another, so everyone was silent.

Zhao Dazhu was a little stunned.

Zhao Erzhu was a little excited.

Zhao Sanzhu was smiling secretly.

Zhao Sizhu was also very happy.

Old Man Zhao had already tiptoed to the door and kowtowed three times and nine times in the direction of the ancestral grave, showing his utmost piety.

Old Mrs. Zhao was pinching her arm hard. This must be a dream! This must be a dream!

And all of this happened in silence, which made Zhao Taohua think that they were possessed by ghosts and were muttering in a mysterious way.

Finally, after the Zhao family had gone crazy, Mrs. Zhao gave an order, "Go to sleep first, and get up in the morning to make powder. Let's do this quietly and earn money quietly. We'll talk about it when we can't hide it anymore."

"Mom is right."

But how could anyone sleep? Except for Sui'an, who slept through the night, everyone else in the Zhao family had dark circles under their eyes. However, the atmosphere in the family was extremely excited.

"Mom, what's wrong with my uncles? Their eyes glow like fire at night," Sui'an asked Zhao Taohua in a low voice.

Zhao Taohua burst out laughing, "If it can glow, it will become a big wolfdog."

"Big wolfdog?"

After everyone had breakfast, today was the first day of delivery. Zhao Taohua originally planned to go with Zhao Dazhu, and at most bring Zhao Sanzhu along. Once things went smoothly, the delivery job would be completely handed over to her eldest brother.

Not wanting to leave early, Old Man Zhao was waiting at the door and pushed Zhao Sanzhu down. As a father, he had to witness the beginning of the Zhao family's rise.

When the wooden barrel was loaded onto the oxcart, the driver, Erniu, would definitely ask, "Uncle Zhao, what big business is your family doing? You have such a big wooden barrel."

Old Man Zhao had already prepared an explanation for this. He calmly said, "Wild vegetable and brown rice porridge. Our Dazhu used to be a coolie, so he knows a lot of people who do hard labor. He can't afford the expensive food in town, so we specialize in selling wild vegetable and brown rice porridge. It's cheap."

Erniu understood everything. So that's how it is. But you probably won't make much money. It's a bit strange that there are three of you escorting him.

But Erniu didn't take it too seriously.

Zhao Taohua looked at him strangely. Old Man Zhao was so excited, he was a typical man. He looked honest, but he lied without even taking a breath. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

To put it in a more popular way, the old man is very naughty.

As for the other pillars of the Zhao family, they all went up the mountain to join their business of 'digging wild vegetables'.

The villagers all sighed when they saw the Zhao brothers going up the mountain. Now the eldest brother of the Zhao family and his wife had cheated on him and divorced him, which made the already poor Zhao family even worse off.

There are still some old wild vegetables on the mountain that are too hard to chew. When the weather turns cold, I am afraid that there will be no wild vegetables left. How can we survive?

Let’s talk about Zhao Taohua.

The delivery went exceptionally smoothly. The people in Fushun Building even waited for a long time. When they saw them deliver the wooden barrels, they immediately carried them to the ice cellar.

And he paid the six thousand yuan very readily.

"Why are there twenty more?" Zhao Taohua asked after taking a look.

The waiter who took over from Fushunlou said, "We've also taken this barrel. Please go buy a new one, Madam. We'll return the old one to you tomorrow, and we'll replace it every day."

"Okay, thank you very much."

The Zhao family members then happily went to buy wooden barrels. In fact, not only did they need a wooden barrel for replacement, but they also needed a wooden barrel for the night market, so they had to buy two at a time.
