Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi brought back some cement on a cart, as there were some bricks left over from building a house some time ago.
I'll ask someone to come over tomorrow to set up two stoves, one for making braised dishes and the other for making brown sugar steamed cakes.
The stove was set up in the former gatehouse, and the newly built one was used for sales.
Xu Ning helped unload the cement, put the cart away, and poured hot water for the two elders. "Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Qi, when will we build the stove? Have you hired the workers?"
Grandpa Qi took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Let the people who cleaned up your house come to our house tomorrow to help set up the house."
She nodded and said, “Those guys seem pretty down-to-earth.
Grandpa Qi, ask them to build a higher platform in that room and put the braised pork and red date steamed cake on it.
When selling, open the big window so that people passing by outside can see it. ”
"That's what your Grandpa Wang and I are planning. When the weather gets hot, we'll buy some popsicles to sell."
She smiled and praised: "That's good, you two elders are really thoughtful."
Grandpa Wang smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, the price of those two shops has been agreed upon, 4,800 yuan. You can find some time tomorrow to go and check the accounts." Grandpa Wang had just finished speaking.
Xu Ning asked happily, "Really, Grandpa Wang?"
"Really, your seventh grandfather and I went to talk to the landlord today."
"Okay, I'll go there after school tomorrow morning."
She saw that there was no one else here, just Aunt Xu, Grandma Wang, Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Qi and a few children.
She was about to ask Grandpa Wang how to properly distribute the clothes that would arrive in a few days between her, Song Mingyuan, and Mingyu?
After all, Grandpa Wang used to be a big businessman, so he must be more thoughtful in this regard than she and Lu Xiaotang thought.
She explained the situation to Grandpa Wang and also talked about the profit of the clothing. "Grandpa Wang, how do you think we should divide it among the three of us?"
Grandpa Wang sat there and thought for a while, then said, “Xiao Ning, the source of goods is a favor between you and Xiaotang, so you should get half of the profits.
Let your brother-in-law and Mingyu divide the other half between themselves. How do you two want to divide it? That's their business, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Xu Ning originally wanted to take 40% and let the two of them share 60%. After all, there are risks on the train.
But what Grandpa Wang said did make sense. If Lu Xiaotang hadn't saved Zuo Tianming, they wouldn't have been able to get these goods so easily, and at such a low price.
The main reason why they were able to get so much goods smoothly was due to their friendship.
Although she didn't mind taking an extra 10% of the profits, since they were doing business together, they had to settle accounts clearly like brothers so that there would be no conflicts.
"Grandpa Wang, I understand."
Mother Xu was a little surprised when she heard about the profit. Is it so profitable to bring clothes from Guangdong Province to sell?
Then I thought again, bringing the clothes from thousands of miles away, I don’t know how many risks I would have to take on the road, and it’s not easy to earn this money!
She reminded him worriedly: "Xiao Ning, you must pay attention to safety. It doesn't matter whether we make money or not. Mom and Dad have a salary, which is enough for our family to eat and drink."
Xu Ning smiled and comforted her: "Mom, I know, don't worry!"
Grandpa Qi asked her, "Xiao Ning, the shop on East Street is about to be closed, what are you going to do?"
"Grandpa Qi, Grandpa Wang, I'm going to sell my clothes, not now, but later.
When you two are free, buy some lime and have the workers paint it. It will look cleaner then. ”
“Both shops sell clothes!”
"Yes, one shop sells men's clothes and the other sells women's clothes."
Next year, jeans and floral shirts will become popular. At that time, the two small shops will specialize in selling men's clothing, and the two-story shop with the yard will sell women's clothing.
I just need to find someone to look after the shop. They all have to go to school during the day, so I need to find some reliable people.
Niu Niu shook her arm and asked, "Mom, what are you thinking about? We are hungry, go and cook!"
When she mentioned eating, the other three looked at her with sparkling eyes.
She sighed, following the request for food all day long, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Pipi sipped his saliva and said, "Mom, make tofu balls and potato cakes that my uncle likes. We can eat anything."
Niu Niu said: "Mom, my second uncle likes to eat braised pork and rice, you can make some too."
Tangtang glanced at her two brothers. Everything she wanted to eat had been eaten by her second uncle and youngest uncle. She just had to eat whatever she wanted, so she didn't say anything.
Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang, Grandpa Qi, and Aunt Xu all laughed out loud. This is truly a child raised by Xiao Mo!
Xu Ning chuckled twice and said to Niupitang, "I don't like the food they like. I just want to eat cornmeal cakes and pickles tonight."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the backyard without caring about the children's expressions. He really spoiled them.
A few people came back from selling clothes, and on the table there were corn porridge, cornmeal cakes and a large plate of pickles.
Xiao Mo asked Niupipitang, "How did you offend her again?"
Niu Niu and Pi Pi glanced at their mother, lowered their heads and dared not speak, then took a bite of the cornmeal pancake.
Tangtang saw that her two brothers had eaten, so she took a small one and put it in her mouth. While eating, she said to Xu Ning flatteringly: "Mom, cornmeal cakes are delicious."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi also immediately expressed their opinions, "Everything mom cooks is delicious."
The adults burst into laughter again.
Xu Ning couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and took out a pot of braised pork from the cupboard and placed it on the table.
