Chapter 64: Worrying IQ
"It's Dong Qihua. I have something to ask Su Shuoci. I won't disturb you for too long."
"Qihua is here. What's the matter that brings you here so late?" It was Old Master Gu who opened the door because everyone else was busy.
"I ran into Xiaowu, and he said Shuoci's family sells spicy noodles, so he wanted to buy some for his brothers and sisters."
Before Dong Qihua met Sheng Shiwu, he really didn't know that Su Shuoci was not at home.
He never dreamed that his good friend who had never stepped out of the door before would now dare to travel far away.
He gave one of the several packets of spicy strips that Gu Jiaojiao had given him to his father.
He gave another packet to his sister and several cousins, and then took one packet to work. Unexpectedly, everyone who had eaten it kept asking him to buy more.
He originally wanted to come and buy it from Gu Jiaojiao at noon tomorrow, but he heard Sheng Shiwu say that the Su family had freshly made spicy strips that were especially fragrant.
So he came over in a hurry, and happened to meet Gu Jingtai who had just made a big pot of spicy noodles.
Dong Qihua happily tasted one after another, and finally bought all of them in great enthusiasm.
Old Master Gu made the decision and added six cents per pack to the price given to Sheng Shiwu, and Gu Jingtai and Su Qinchun could each get three cents.
Originally, according to what Sheng Shiwu said, Su Qinchun went to the school to sell it himself and charged an extra 10 cents per bag.
A pot of spicy noodles contained fifty small packets, and Gu Jingtai and Su Qinchun each earned one yuan and fifty cents for their own pocket money.
After deducting the costs, Su Qinchun made a net profit of two yuan from fifty bags of spicy strips, which made Su Qinchun extremely excited both professionally and privately.
After Dong Qihua left, Su Qinchun asked, "Second Brother Gu, do we want to make another pot of spicy noodles?"
"Hey, it's still early, we can make a pot. Grandpa, Mom, and Big Brother, you guys go to bed first."
It's almost nine o'clock now. Gu Jingtai is afraid that his grandfather and elder brother are not in good spirits, so he asks them to go to bed early.
"Well, you should also go to bed early. Jiaojiao said that we should combine work and rest and not be obsessed with money."
Mother Gu told her second son that she had been more energetic in the past few days and was only a little better, but had not yet fully recovered.
"We got it. Grandpa Jiaojiao and Big Brother, you guys should go to bed early. We will also go to bed."
Father Su was telling the truth. He did go to bed at nine o'clock and had to get up at 4:30 in the morning to make buns.
He has been living a good life recently and has had adequate nutrition. In fact, he doesn't feel tired at all and feels as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
His monthly salary used to be 38 yuan, but now he only makes 38 yuan a day, not including the hard work pay he received.
It's just getting up early and going to bed late! He likes it, he likes it very much.
At the Sheng family, Mr. Sheng was still awake. He was waiting for his youngest son in the living room.
He is usually busy in the study, so when he sits in the living room, his daughter Yueliang doesn't dare to sit there and watch TV.
His wife doted on their daughter, so she bought a 14-inch TV and put it in her room.
Sheng Shiwen didn't want to talk or watch TV these two days. He went back to his room after dinner and no one knew what he was doing!
Mother Sheng watched TV for a while and then went to take a shower. She had to rehearse the program tomorrow.
Father Sheng was sitting alone in the living room watching TV, feeling very uncomfortable. He thought back to the time before the moon came back.
Jiaojiao loves to stick around them the most and wishes he could watch TV in the living room every day.
When the TV series was not on, Jiaojiao served tea and water to everyone like a little bee, while his wife and children watched the news while eating melon seeds.
Especially the sons, they would rush to peel peanuts and melon seeds for Jiaojiao to eat. I don’t know how happy they were at that time.
Alas! Happy times cannot be reversed, and Father Sheng is reminiscing about his happy years.
"Squeak." The door opened softly.
"Come with me to the study." Father Sheng's majestic voice sounded.
Sheng Shiwu was frightened, but he still held the spicy strips tightly in his hand, afraid that they would fall to the ground.
There is no privacy in the living room. People in the rooms on the second floor can hear what is being said in the living room as long as they open their doors.
Sheng Shiwu went to the study room with his father without saying a word. The study room was relatively private.
As long as you don't eavesdrop by the door, people talking in the study will basically not be heard outside.
"Dad, why aren't you asleep yet? You scared me."
"What have you done wrong?" Sheng's father's voice softened a little, but it still sounded the same to Sheng Shiwu.
"What can I do that is wrong? I'm just reselling some spicy snacks. Now the free market is allowed."
Sheng Shiwu said righteously with his neck stiffened.
His tone and demeanor made Father Sheng laugh, "Where do you have the capital?"
"Jiaojiao gave it to me. Aunt Su made the spicy noodles herself. I took them to school to sell..."
Talking about his experience of selling spicy strips, especially after he learned how to make them, Sheng Shiwu's reservedness in front of his father had long since disappeared.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He kept talking about how he made two dollars and fifty cents from selling spicy strips today, and at the end he generously gave a bag of spicy strips to his father.
"If you gave me a pack, wouldn't you make less than $2.50 tomorrow?"
"Hey, tomorrow it will be more than 2.5 yuan. I plan to sell 100 bags tomorrow. You can eat them without worry."
"The Su family actually taught you the secret recipe for making spicy noodles? Aren't they afraid that you will steal their jobs?"
Dad Sheng was chewing spicy strips and teasing his little son in a good mood.
"I'm not that kind of person. Besides, the Su family is lucky to have Jiaojiao. Not to mention the secret recipe for spicy noodles, even Aunt Su wants to teach me how to make braised pig's trotters!"
"Is it the pig's trotter you brought back last time?" Father Sheng asked with great interest.
"Yes, Aunt Su said that it's summer now and the braised pig's trotters will go bad easily if they are not sold out, so they are afraid of losses.
When the weather gets cooler, they will sell braised dishes, and they asked me if I would like to sell them at school.”
"But they didn't say they would teach you the secret recipe." Father Sheng felt that his youngest son's IQ was worrying.
"As long as I follow them and make stewed dishes, like making spicy strips, I will learn it."
Sheng Shiwu felt that his father was really stupid, "No wonder Jiaojiao is not your biological child."
Father Sheng: ...
The younger son’s words were really heartbreaking, even more disheartening than Grandpa Sheng’s.
"Dad, don't regret being nice to Jiaojiao. You've seen it, Grandpa Gu, Big Brother Gu, and everyone in the Gu family.
They were all starving and skinny, their faces were sallow, only our Yueyue looked the best, it was obvious how much the Gu family loved her!"
"Hey, Dad didn't regret doting on that girl. Not to mention how the Gu family treated Yueyue, the joy that girl brought me when she was in our house was enough!"
"I wanted to give Yueliang a few packets of spicy noodles to try, but I was afraid she would go looking for trouble with Jiaojiao!"
"It's late at night, you should go to bed early. You can sell spicy noodles, but you also have to study hard."
Father Sheng could only change the subject. His daughter could not get along harmoniously with Jiaojiao, and he did not dare to hope for it!
"Dad, I understand. I will switch to business administration next semester, and I will start a company after I graduate."
"Don't dream, you can open a company privately!"
