Kitchen Knife and Sword
Hearing Fu Shutao's words, Fu Sui'an's expression did not change at all. He just nodded and asked, "What are we going to do this afternoon?"
As soon as he saw Taotao's expression, he knew that she had made up her mind and was waiting obediently to be assigned.
"There's a concert at Binhai Stadium at 7pm. Brother San, let's go sell coconuts at the door!" Fu Shutao said with a smile, "I asked Boss Zhou this morning. The wholesale price of coconuts there is 5 yuan each. We can settle the morning's wages with him and use the money to buy more."
[My sister is so smart! ]
[Coconuts in the coastal area are 10 yuan each, so you can make a profit in half! ]
[When my sister asked about the wholesale price of coconuts before, she was thinking of this idea, right? ]
[Opening a coconut is hard work]
[The third brother has completely laid down, waiting for his sister to make arrangements]
[At the concert entrance, the coconuts have to be opened very quickly, otherwise they won’t sell many and won’t make much money. ]
[My sister thinks too simply]
[Doing business is a bit risky. If I don’t make any money, I’ll lose all the money for tonight’s accommodation.]
Of course, Fu Sui'an had thought about all the questions raised in the comments.
He asked Fu Shutao: "I can't open a coconut, can you?"
"I don't know how to do it either." Fu Shutao shook his head seriously, "But I can learn. I can use a sword, so it shouldn't be difficult."
[There is not much difference between a kitchen knife and a sword! 】
Although it was outrageous, Fu Sui'an was successfully persuaded by her. He was just a little worried, "You spent so much time chopping oysters in the morning, and you have to open coconuts in the afternoon. Can you bear it?"
"No big deal! The intensity of my sword training before was much higher than this."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sui'an did not hesitate and settled the bill with her directly: "We originally had 324 yuan, and we spent 40 yuan on the meal, so we have 284 yuan left. Let's see how much Boss Zhou can give us this morning, and then we will use all of it to purchase goods."
Fu Shutao's eyes turned and his gaze swept across Wen Jin who was following their group, then he whispered to Fu Sui'an, "We still need a truck to transport goods. Let's go back to the villa and ask the director if he can lend it to us directly."
The villa was not far from the fresh food factory. The two walked for about 10 minutes and returned to the villa.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the room, I saw Yao Lixuan lying on the sofa with lifeless eyes, and Yao Peixing sitting at the coffee table slowly eating fried rice.
Fu Sui'an greeted him politely: "Brother Xuan, you're back too."
"Yeah, come back and have a rest." Yao Lixuan said, and let out a long sigh, full of sadness.
Fu Shutao saw that Xingxing's ponytail was crooked, and couldn't help but help her tie it up again, while asking softly: "What's wrong with your father? Is Ocean Park very tiring?"
"My dad is tired." Yao Peixing sighed maturely, "We were in the ball area of Ocean Park, and it was full of children, screaming very loudly. Dad collapsed as soon as he came back."
Yao Lixuan added: "My eardrums are about to be broken by them. The children are so noisy. I feel so sorry for my wife now. It's really hard for her to take care of two children at home every day."
Yao Peixing pouted in dissatisfaction when he heard this, "I'm not making a fuss, and my brother is okay."
The audience who followed this group immediately exposed her in the barrage.
[Hahahahaha, I'm so naughty but I don't realize it]
[Tsk tsk, I don’t know which kid had so much fun in the ocean park that his braids became unkempt]
[Brother Xuan was dispirited, partly because of Xingxing’s excited screams! ]
[Don’t mention Brother Xuan, I’m almost going crazy from all the noise]
[Luckily I was smart enough to mute the phone when I saw so many kids]
Seeing this, Fu Shutao glanced at Fu Sui'an and thought to herself: "Look at Brother Xuan's battered appearance. How about taking him to sell coconuts with us?" With a host who’s good at speaking, my third brother doesn’t have to attract customers. He only needs to collect money and direct the queue, which is a lot less stressful. 】
Fu Sui'an raised the corners of his lips and nodded at her, then took on the responsibility of communication and turned to Yao Lixuan and said, "Brother Xuan, we are going to sell coconuts at the entrance of the concert this afternoon. Do you want to join us?"
“Selling coconuts?”
Fu Sui'an told him the plan.
Yao Lixuan pondered over it in his mind. This was much better than working at the Ocean Park. "You guys are smart. Why don't I have such a business mind?" He explained to the two of them, "I have already received my 150 yuan salary this morning, plus the 15 yuan I originally had, a total of 165 yuan. However, I spent 20 yuan to purchase lunch from the program group, so the remaining 145 can be invested in this."
"The capital is enough, now the only problem is the car."
Director Shen had already learned the news from Wen Jin who was following the group, and he consciously walked out of the workroom, waiting to be assigned.
As soon as he came out, Fu Shutao hurriedly said, “Director Shen, we want to borrow a car.”
"No, but I can rent it to you at a friendly price of 140 yuan."
Yao Lixuan felt a little embarrassed. It was Fu Sui'an and his team who found the supply channel and came up with the idea. He wanted to make a contribution to the team, so he quickly said, "Then I'll pay for the 140 yuan."
As he spoke, he wanted to take out money.
Fu Sui'an quickly held down his hand.
Director Shen clearly came here for his 140 and wanted to stop us from making money!
Fu Shutao smiled brightly and bargained with Director Shen in a friendly manner, "Director Shen, we only have so little money, it's not enough to buy goods, please make it cheaper, 60 yuan!"
Director Shen was speechless: “Are you making this cheaper?”
Fu Shutao, who originally just wanted to give it a quick test, was delighted: [Hmm? Looks like there is room for negotiation! 】
With the help of her and Xingxing, they bought the pickup truck for 100 yuan, and it also came with a small speaker.
Fu Shutao was satisfied and said with a smile: “Director Shen, put it in the account, and we will pay you back when we make money.”
"You can't keep accounts!" Director Shen said hurriedly. If they kept accounts, Fu Shutao and the others would have an extra 100 yuan to buy coconuts. With 20 of them, they should be able to make a lot of money.
Fu Shutao snorted, "Director Shen, you treat us differently! Song Xun owes you more than 150 yuan, and the four of us only borrowed 100 yuan. What's wrong with that?"
Director Shen: “…”
The reasoning was so convincing that I couldn't refute it.
When I lent money to Song Xun, I was just there to watch the show, but I never expected that I would end up in such an embarrassing situation.
He was helpless, "Then you should also write an IOU."
"I'll write it. The ideas are all yours. I'll also make some contribution to the team." Yao Lixuan excitedly stepped forward, wrote the IOU, and handed it to Director Shen with great pride.
[I am dying of laughter. Brother Xuan looks so imposing. He doesn’t look like someone who is borrowing money at all.]
[If you don’t know, you might think he signed a check = =]
[If I hadn’t just seen you guys haggling over 40 bucks with the director, I would have believed it]
[Fu Sui'an and Tao Tao are so nice, they are willing to help Brother Xuan make money]
[The question is... can you make money? ]
Good question!
Trigger the Silence skill.
After a moment, a message slowly floated out from the barrage:
[They are dreaming, just go to work honestly! Don’t let the loss be greater than Xunxun’s debt, or some people will be embarrassed, lelele~]
We can question it, but it's disgusting that you say this!
The barrage of comments instantly rose up to attack.
[You came to this live broadcast room because your search couldn’t satisfy you anymore? ]
[Don't be a conspicuous bag here. ]
[Even if they lose money, they still have coconuts. What do you have? Two IOUs? ]
[Go back]
…
While Song Xun was having lunch, the fans who came to spy on the enemy were scolded and sneaked back.

The four of them got on the pickup truck rented to them by the program crew, driven by Yao Lixuan, and headed to the fresh food factory.
The first thing of course is to find Boss Zhou to get the morning salary.
Boss Zhou was not surprised and simply settled their wages.
Since they didn't work a full day, they could only be paid by the hour, 20 yuan per hour. Fu Shutao and his colleague worked for three hours and received a total of 120 yuan.
Four people one accounting——
Fu Sui-an group: 404 yuan
Yao Lixuan Group: 145 yuan
Total: 549 yuan
Yao Lixuan asked: "How much are you prepared to pay?"
"400." Fu Shutao reported the number firmly.
This is a fight to the death!
Yao Lixuan thought about it and decided to be cautious. "I still have Xingxing to take care of. I'd better keep 45 yuan as a backup and pay 100."
"Okay." Fu Shutao said with a smile, "It's just right, plus the 100 yuan for renting the car. When we make money, we can split it 2:1. It's also very simple to split the profits."
Yao Lixuan was stunned for a moment, "2:1 is too high, I didn't actually do much..." Xingxing couldn't do much work, he felt like he was taking advantage of her.
Fu Shutao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, when we get to the scene, we'll need Brother Xuan to help us attract customers!"
Yao Lixuan was in high spirits, and seemed a little impatient.
So they spent 500 yuan to wholesale 100 coconuts, loaded them into the back of a pickup truck, and drove all the way to the gymnasium.
Fortunately, they arrived early, so the congestion around the stadium was not that serious, but there were already quite a few people.
Yao Lixuan parked the car at the door, and Fu Shutao and Xingxing got out first.
She had searched online and found that there were small tin stalls on both sides of the gymnasium entrance. This was Binhai City's support policy for the cultural and tourism industry.
The two of them were heading straight for this place.
They thought they had arrived early, but most of the stalls were already occupied. Fu Shutao was quick-witted and sneaked in when she saw an empty stall.
After confirming the location, he called Fu Sui'an and asked them to move the coconuts directly to stall No. 36.
Then, she took out a knife from the villa kitchen and a loudspeaker borrowed from the director's crew - a gift for renting a car!
Everything is ready, just waiting for guests to come!
Fu Shutao took advantage of the time when there were not many people around to go out for a walk, investigate the market environment, and "steal" the coconut opening technique.
"I met seven coconut sellers, and they all priced it at 15 yuan, so we'll set it at 15 yuan too."
Xingxing excitedly found a piece of cardboard, borrowed a marker from the stall owner next door, and wrote big words -
15 Yuan/each, guaranteed to be opened!
Fu Sui'an joked, "The competition is very fierce. It's time to test your hand speed." All the coconuts are the same, and who sells more depends almost entirely on who opens the coconuts faster.
Fu Shutao raised her eyebrows confidently, "Don't worry! I've already mastered the trick."
[Does Taotao open coconuts? ]
[I can earn 10 yuan for each coconut, so if I buy 100 coconuts, I can earn 1,000 yuan, not bad]
[I suddenly feel a little bit excited]
[I don’t really understand. Is there really anyone who would buy a coconut and suck it before a concert starts? ]
[There is a famous saying - since we are here, How can you not drink coconut water when you are in Binhai? ]
What’s the secret to opening a coconut? Teach me! ]
However, Fu Shutao's secret of opening coconuts is not something that ordinary people can learn.
*
Su Rong, who flew from another place to listen to her idol's concert, came directly from the airport. She arrived quite early, so she came to the market here to stroll around and see the local cultural and creative products and snacks. When she saw this stall, her eyes lit up and she was attracted to it.
Of course, it’s not the coconut, but the appearance——
What’s going on with this stall, why are there so many good-looking people?
A beautiful lady with long hair and a charming smile! !
A handsome guy with dazzling silver hair, cold eyes and eyebrows! !
A lively and smart little girl with delicate features! !
Fortunately, there is still a normal person.
"Normal person" Yao Lixuan asked: "Would you like to buy some coconuts? They're 15 yuan each, and we'll open them for you."
Su Rong came back to her senses and nodded, "Come on."
Fu Sui'an showed the QR code on his phone and said calmly, "Scan here."
The sound is nice too!
I was lucky this time.
Su Rong transferred the money happily.
When she looked up, she saw the "beautiful girl" picking up a kitchen knife, and her heart trembled.
Seeing her strong wrist and calm expression, Su Rong couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "How domineering."
Then, with a loud "bang" sound, the entire top of the coconut was cut off!
She was stunned.
The barrage went crazy.
[Ahhhhhhhhhh I'm not crazy]
[It’s neat and simple, so cool! ! ]
[Oh shit!] The coconut is so hard, how can you cut it with just one knife? ? ? ]
[I always feel like I missed some steps. How did I do it? ]
[People from Binhai, you have never seen such a simple and rough way to open a coconut! ]
[This is extremely terrifying. Is this how one person can defeat ten people with one skill?]
[The beautiful customer is simply my face substitute! ]
[Not only the guests, the other three people were also shocked, okay? Brother Xuan’s mouth can even swallow a light bulb…]
[Help me, I love you so much]
[Smiling and beheading with a knife, ah ah, so yandere, I like it]
[Can I still call you sister? Should I call him husband? (Cautiously testing)]
…
Su Rong was stunned for a long while before she came back to her senses from Yao Peixing's applause and subconsciously joined in the applause.
Fu Shutao was amused by her and looked at her with a smile.
Su Rong reacted, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she took the coconut and left embarrassedly.
Looking at the flat cross-section, I couldn’t help but turn around and take a photo of the stall and posted a Weibo with Coconut.
Rongrongrongrong: [I came to Binhai to listen to Lao Qiu’s concert, and came across a stall of Shengshi Meiyan, but they were selling coconuts. Look, this coconut is so smooth. It was opened by a beautiful girl. It only takes one cut. It is so sweet! ]
There were immediate replies from friends who followed each other.
[ah! ! It looks good indeed! ]
[Rongrong, you're here so early? I'm on the bus, it'll probably take another 20 minutes! ]
[I’m here, I’m here, number 36, right? I’m going now! ]
Under the fierce impact of the fans who are obsessed with looks, the business of stall No. 36 became booming. Even though Fu Shutao opened coconuts quickly, there was still a long queue.
A local fan ran around and lined up at various stalls to get four peripheral products. He thought that this group of people were also there to get peripheral products, so he excitedly joined the line.
The line is so long, it must be a good thing!
She waited in line for about 10 minutes.
Holding a sweet coconut, he walked out in confusion.
