Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Then Aunt Shen...
Then Aunt Shen said a few more words, similar to:
"Go back and tell your family that it's normal not to make much money when you first arrive. This thing just takes time and effort."
"But as long as you have this skill, you won't have to worry about not having customers to buy..."
Su Li knew that the other party was speaking from the heart, and she didn't mind that he was being long-winded. In the end, she thanked him sincerely and gave him a small bunch of sour dates, which she had just put in her pocket.
Seeing this, Aunt Shen naturally refused to take it. After some pushing and shoving, Aunt Shen finally accepted it.
Only then did Su Li leave with Su Tao and Li Chunhua.
"Fifth sister, why are you asking that aunt those questions?" On the way back, Su Tao, who had been silent for a long time and didn't know what to say, suddenly asked.
She listened to what Su Li and the old lady said for a long time. They were talking about going to the dock to sell food. But when did her family start to make food to sell?
This is Su Tao’s style. I asked this question just because I thought so.
Su Li heard this and patiently replied, "I thought since there are so many people here, we can also make some food to sell. If we can earn some money every day, it can also supplement the family expenses."
Although Su Li is confident in her cooking skills, she still speaks conservatively.
When Su Tao heard this, she was stunned. Fifth sister wanted to make food and sell it herself?
How could this be possible? Su Tao subconsciously felt that it was impossible. There was no reason, she just felt that it was not possible. Although she also thought that what Wu Mei made was delicious, eating it at home was different from selling it.
Su Tao still stuck in conservative and old-fashioned thinking, and her childhood experiences made her subconsciously feel that this was not a good idea.
Su Li did not blame her. On the contrary, she could even imagine that if she told this to her mother Chen and grandparents, they would probably react in the same way.
But she still said, "Why not? Fourth sister, didn't we just sell the fruit? And we earned so much money."
"That's different..." Su Tao retorted.
"Could it be that Fourth Sister thinks the food I cook is not tasty?" Su Li did not give Su Tao a chance to refute and continued to ask.
How is that possible?! Su Tao has never eaten a better meal than the one cooked by her fifth sister Su Li.
Seeing that Su Tao was silent, Su Li said:
"In that case, why not?"
Yes, in that case, why not?
Su Tao was somewhat convinced and couldn't help but start thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Li Chunhua, who was standing by, suddenly said, "Sister Ali's dishes are so delicious, they will definitely sell well."
Su Tao didn't know what to say after hearing that.
After a while,
"Fourth sister, Sister Chunhua, let's divide the money." Su Li said when she saw that there was no one around and the three of them were on a relatively remote path.
We had just agreed that since the two baskets and the backpack were of similar price, Li Chunhua would get nine cents less of the remaining silver, meaning Li Chunhua would get 57 cents, Su Li 66 cents, Su Tao 66 cents, and the remaining two cents.
However, only Su Li can count, neither Li Chunhua nor Su Tao can.
"There are still two cents left. Let's each take one cent." Su Li put the copper coins on the ground and counted them. Su Tao also agreed. They were all good friends. It didn't matter if they had one cent less or one cent more.
He handed the copper coins strung with the straw rope to Li Chunhua,
Li Chunhua took the copper coins and was a little dazed for a moment. Is this amount of silver really hers?
You have to know that an egg only costs one cent. Her mother saved and saved, but could only sell it for 30 cents at most. And she just picked some wild fruits to sell, and she could actually sell so much?
Similarly, Su Tao held the string of copper coins tightly in her hand, with the same idea: one cent could buy a steamed bun, and two cents could buy a steamed dumpling.
How long would it take to take? Su Tao felt a little dizzy and couldn't figure it out.
In the past, the most she had was the two cents her father gave her during the Chinese New Year. She didn't expect that she could earn so much money today just by selling fruit.
Go back and tell her that grandma will definitely be happy when she knows.
Seeing that both of them thought the money came easily, Su Li, in order to avoid disappointing the other two, said, "It was because of the generosity of that customer today that we were able to earn this much money. If it were otherwise, it would probably be difficult later on."
Just now, Su Li learned from Aunt Shen that the sour jujube was only sold at 5 wen per pound at its highest price in the county. The reason they were able to get such a high price was simply because Su Li didn't know the price and the other party was too lazy to bargain with them.
Su Li still remembers the speechless feeling in her heart when she learned about this incident. She was also a profiteer, right?
When Su Tao and Li Chunhua heard Su Li's words, they were naturally convinced.
"Then shall we come again tomorrow?" Li Chunhua asked softly, and Su Tao also looked at the backbone of the team:
"Come!"
So the three of them agreed on a time for tomorrow and then went home.
At this time, the Su family:
"Mom, why don't you go see a doctor?" Chen advised while massaging Mrs. Wu's feet. Just now, when Mrs. Wu went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, she accidentally sprained her ankle. In a short while, it became bruised and swollen and looked very scary.
"Hiss, what are you looking at? Why waste that money? It will be fine in two days." Mrs. Wu grinned and stopped him without thinking, but no matter how hard she tried to endure, she still cried out in pain from time to time.
Seeing that Mrs. Wu was determined not to go, Chen was a little unsure what to do.
"Go and pick me a couple of handfuls of tamarind grass. It's more effective than anything else when applied to the skin." Mrs. Wu consoled him with a forced smile.
However, this statement is not convincing at all, especially when combined with those shocking-looking feet.
"I'll go get Dad back!"
No matter how you look at Chen, she doesn't look like she's fine. She's not afraid of spraining her ankle, but she's afraid of breaking her bones, which is a lifelong problem.
"Don't..." Before Mrs. Wu could stop her, Chen ran away.
However, when Old Man Su came back in a hurry, Mrs. Wu still refused to go to the clinic.
"Let's go to the clinic!"
"fine…"
"I already told you...it's nothing...why are you making such a fuss?"
If it weren't for the cold sweat that wet her forehead and her clenched teeth, Old Man Su would probably have believed it.
"Mother Qingshan, go weigh 10 dou of rice, I'll go find the village chief to pick up the mule cart..." There was no money at home, so weighing the rice was naturally for selling, but at this time, there was no time to care about that.
"Okay, Dad!" Chen replied, then stood up and prepared to go into the house, while Old Man Su also stood up and was about to find the village chief.
Seeing that the two of them did not listen to her and left straight away, Mrs. Wu could no longer hold back and cursed loudly,
"You dare not go, do you hear me? You dare..."
After saying that, Mrs. Wu stood up despite the pain and chased in the direction the two people left. However, because of her feet, she fell to the ground with a bang as soon as she stood up.
When Mrs. Chen and Old Man Su heard the sound, they hurried back.
"mother……"
"Old woman..."
"I told you not to, can't you hear me? Do you have to wait for me to die before you listen to me?"
