When Xu Lei got home in the evening, he found out that Gu Qinghuan gave his wife 150 yuan. He originally thought that he would receive 100 yuan in total, but he didn't expect there was 100 more.
That evening he rode his bike to the downstairs of the western-style building.
"Niece, didn't we agree on 100 yuan? Why did you only give me 200?" The money was too hot to handle, and he didn't dare to take it.
Although he didn't make a lot of money, he could still make ends meet. He knew exactly what money he could take and what he couldn't take.
Gu Qinghuan smiled, these two people are really a good match, both are kind.
"Uncle Xu, I went to the department store to ask, and the cakes there are all priced at more than one or two yuan per pound, and the eight Beijing snacks are all priced at two yuan. If I give you one yuan, won't I be putting you at a loss?"
"That's because the family traded it, and there was a price difference. Department stores make a lot of money, but we're making it ourselves. We only need to pay for the materials, and it's not a big deal. Your aunt can make it in two days."
She only spent less than seventy yuan on the materials. If you give us a hundred yuan, we can still get more than thirty yuan, which is pretty good." Xu Lei really didn't treat her as a stranger at all, and even told her the details.
Gu Qinghuan smiled helplessly, wondering how come the money couldn't be delivered.
"Uncle Xu, let me tell you this, I didn't buy these cakes to give away, I have a friend who is in that business, you should understand, right?
I'll give these cakes to him to sell, and we'll both make money. It's a profit-making thing. Since I dare to give you this price, I can definitely guarantee that you'll make money, so don't refuse.
There is still some time before the Chinese New Year. Please ask my aunt to make some more and send them over. We can make money together!"
This friend was of course fabricated by Gu Qinghuan, and she was the only middleman.
It was also because Xu Leian accepted the money and believed in his character that he dared to say so.
Xu Lei probably understood what was said. He privately thought that Gu Qinghuan's friend was from the black market.
Although people outside say that the crackdown is severe every day, in fact, he sometimes secretly goes to the black market to buy some things, otherwise the commercial food alone is not enough to eat.
So he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he was just worried about being discovered and dragging down Gu Qinghuan.
"Niece, let me ask you something in private. Is your friend trustworthy? Don't let him get you into trouble again."
"Let go, Uncle Xu, I don't care about the sales. I just give the goods to him. It's his business whether he makes a lot or a little. I don't care at all. Even if he gets caught, I can't hold him responsible." Gu Qinghuan said seriously.
Xu Lei was relieved: "That's good! Okay, Uncle Xu believes in you, let's do it together, the New Year is coming soon, and it will be a good year if we can make a little more money."
"That's exactly the reason. Just let me have as much as I have. You have to explain this to my aunt. The quality must not be compromised and the materials must be good.
Right, let’s do this, you can get the materials directly from me. I don’t need a receipt for the raw materials, so it’s more convenient.
Let my aunt make a list, and I'll let Lanting carry it over."
She can place an order directly at the vending machine, everything is pre-cleaned, more convenient, the quality is guaranteed, and no ticket is required.
"That's great. Your aunt is just worried. The little food coupons at home are all spent on making cakes. Money is hard to come by, and sometimes she can't even get a food coupon when she needs it." Xu Lei nodded in agreement.
"However, if you don't have raw materials, the price will change. How about this, no matter what you make, we only charge one yuan per kilogram as processing fee. If you make one hundred kilograms, you can earn one hundred yuan. This is a good deal, okay?"
Compared with the profit from selling 100 kilograms of cakes today, he has already lowered his own profit.
Gu Qinghuan was no longer polite and nodded in agreement.
"OK!"
"Yes, niece, are you planning to go back to Northeast China to celebrate the New Year this year?" Xu Lei asked doubtfully.
Gu Qinghuan was thinking about this problem. She should have gone back a long time ago, but was delayed by various things. Now Xu Huaian was late again, and she was secretly worried, so she put the matter on hold.
She was traveling back to the Northeast with her two children, and the journey was a problem.
It seemed a bit unkind to leave Lanting here alone to celebrate the New Year. Although Ming Ruxue was there, they were both still teenagers.
I can't give up Xujiatun either, and I feel awkward having to worry about both.
"Wait a little longer, until Huai'an comes back."
After the two of them decided on making the pastries, Xu Lei prepared to go back, and Gu Qinghuan brought him a jar of pickled radishes that he made himself.
There were too many pickled vegetables at home. I had given some to Xiao Fengying and Ou Sumei, and there were still quite a few left.
Moreover, she also harvested the vegetables she had planted in her space before, and put them away after harvesting them all.
Speaking of this, she discovered a bug. The vending machine transfer station is a natural refrigerator. She was worried that the vegetables in the space would rot if they were not eaten after harvesting. Even if she filled the refrigerator, it would not be able to hold all the vegetables.
Later, she suddenly remembered that the vending machine transfer station seemed to have a fresh-keeping function, so she tried to weigh the vegetables and put them into the transfer station. As long as they were not put on the market, they could be kept in it forever and she could take them out whenever she wanted, which was very convenient.
Isn't this just a big refrigerator like a bottomless pit?
These dishes are divided into two parts, one part is kept for his family to eat, and the other part is what Xu Huai'an had prepared before and prepared for the animals in the space.
Gu Qinghuan put them away separately.
After Xu Huaian left, she had to take care of the Kongjian Ranch by herself, picking pheasant eggs, spotted pigeon eggs, and flying dragon eggs every day.
Then, following Xu Huaian's example, he used a strong flashlight to look for eggs that could be hatched and put them back in the nest.
The earliest eggs hatched were chickens, flying dragons and spotted pigeons. There were the most pheasants, about dozens of them, and there were also quite a few spotted pigeons. There were fewer flying dragons, only about ten.
With this constant supply of eggs and animals to hatch, over and over again, she will soon be able to achieve pheasant and dragon freedom.
The remaining eggs were not eaten at home, but there were a lot of them, hundreds of them, so Gu Qinghuan simply hung them all on the car and sold them.
This caused another wave of online shock, with people speculating about her identity.
Rabbits reproduce very quickly. After giving birth to several litters of rabbits, she noticed that some of them had big bellies, which was not normal. They might be pregnant.
Speaking of rabbits, the rabbits given to the three children were raised by them in a corner of the yard. The first thing the children did when they got up every day was to feed them carrots, rotten vegetable leaves and water.
He would also diligently clean the rabbit's poop by himself, without letting Gu Qinghuan worry about it at all.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and the wild boars in the space are getting fat and strong. Gu Qinghuan thinks it is time to slaughter one for the Chinese New Year.
Although wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork, it should taste pretty good after being grown in spiritual spring water for some time.
We also killed a few wild goats, deer and roe deer.
When Gu Qinghuan was taking inventory, he suddenly remembered that he had brought in a sable when he brought it in, but he seemed to have forgotten it.
Where did this guy go?
Gu Qinghuan searched everywhere in the space but couldn't find him. The main reason was that the guy was too small and inconspicuous.
The book says that sables are nocturnal and active at night to forage for food, and sleep during the day. This is probably why they are so conspicuous.
Just when Gu Qinghuan was about to give up looking for it, he suddenly discovered that a large round purple flower had grown in the middle of the spiritual spring.
Could this be the evil flower that Hades had mentioned?
She curiously went forward to check, and saw a flash of dark brown light. Then something ran out from the flower and lay on her shoulder, startling her.
Looking closely, who else could it be but Zishuang?
This guy has been forgotten by her since he came in. He must have stolen a lot of spiritual spring water. Look at how his fur has become smooth and he looks very smart. He even treats the Zhuxie Flower as his own backyard and sleeps in it.
Gu Qinghuan was both angry and amused, and pulled the stupid thing down.
The sable looked at her with a slightly flattering look, as if begging for mercy.
Gu Qinghuan held it in his arms, stroked its fur, and threatened: "This flower is very important. You must not damage it, or I will stew you! I have never eaten mink meat before."
The sable seemed to understand what she said. It shuddered with fear, then jumped off her bed, ran forward a few steps, and turned back to signal her to follow it.
No wonder this guy is really a spirit.
Gu Qinghuan followed him to see what it was going to do. The creature ran all the way to the red pine forest and stopped next to a big red pine. It skillfully used its claws to dig a hole in the earth under the red pine and then crawled in.
Could it be hiding here? No wonder I didn't notice it.
Gu Qinghuan looked around and found animal fur and bones near the cave. Is this... a hare?
This sable was really rude. He treated her ranch as his own backyard and even ate her rabbits!
Just as Gu Qinghuan was about to pull it out, it ran out of the hole by itself, holding something.
The sable put the things at her feet and looked at her with a flattering expression, which was particularly human.
Gu Qinghuan's anger subsided a lot. He bent down and took a closer look. This black lump covered with mud, plain and simple, why did it look so familiar?
Is this…ginseng? Although it has no roots, it is obviously ginseng, but the sable dug it up so only the middle part is left without the roots.
My goodness, this ginseng is not very big, it may be a hundred years old, and I don’t know where it was dug from. Could it be brought in when I collected other things before?
This guy is also courteous. Not bad. Gu Qinghuan's anger just dropped in an instant. A few rabbits in exchange for a hundred-year-old ginseng. This deal is really worth it.
She carefully picked up the ginseng, then picked up the sable and said, "Since you have contributed a lot to the treasure, I will not hold it against you. You can eat the rabbits in the future, but you must not waste them. Also, you are not allowed to eat my evil flower again, or I will send you back to your hometown in the woods."
Zidane seemed to understand what she meant and nodded vigorously.
Can a sable actually find ginseng? I've never heard of it having this ability.
However, seeing is believing, and she gained some knowledge today.
"Please help me look for other good things in this forest, Sable." Gu Qinghuan said while hugging Sable.
What the hell, humans are really troublesome.
It ran straight back into its cave and didn't come out.
Gu Qinghuan was not angry. He happily took the new ginseng and went to bed.
