Chapter 76 Don’t play by the rules
After Yu Fugui agreed, he began to move the baskets.
Wen Xiuyun knew that stir-frying chestnuts was not easy, so she whispered: "Don't tire yourself out. The people behind are all old customers I have known for many years. They still have the patience to wait for a day or two. I have already told them
Already."
Bai Lu smiled and nodded: "It's not too tiring. Cheng will help me fry when he has time. Our sugar-roasted chestnuts have only been sold for a short time. There is also a rival in the market who is eyeing him. We can't lose our credibility and reputation. We have given customers today
As for the accuracy of getting the goods, it would be better to deliver the goods today.”
Who doesn't want to make more money when doing business, and Wen Xiuyun naturally does the same, smiling and praising Bai Lu for being sensible.
The two were talking.
A knock on the door came from the courtyard door.
Yu Fugui is still in the yard, carrying the last basket of sugar-fried chestnuts, so who could it be?
The three of them looked outside the door together.
A woman with a rosy complexion, a slightly chubby body, and strong limbs, holding a big belly with one hand, wiped the sweat on her forehead and walked slowly and familiarly into the courtyard, smiling at Bai Lu.
"Busy now?"
When the fifth aunt and Yu Fugui saw that Bai Lu had guests to greet, they said hello to Bai Lu and left without further conversation.
The guest finally arrived, and Bai Lu naturally wouldn't turn him away, not to mention that he was still full of belly.
Chen Chunli sat on the chair where Bai Lu had just sat, feeling at ease and without the word "thank you" in her mind.
Smelling the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts that had not yet dissipated in the yard, I thought of the purpose of my trip, so I said a token thank you, "Have you just finished roasting the chestnuts?"
"It's very fragrant. I wonder how it tastes? I heard from Wang Hao that Xiao Cheng brought sugar-roasted chestnuts to them when he went to work. Everyone said they were delicious..."
The implication is that your husband has given his brother a taste of roasted chestnuts with sugar, so there is no reason why you can’t give it to your brother’s wife, right?
Bai Lu casually took a chair and sat down, with a signature fake smile on her face: "Roasted chestnuts contain too much sugar. It is not good for pregnant women to eat too much. They can easily lead to diabetes."
This means that I won’t be able to taste even a single chestnut!
Chen Chunli looked ugly, and she knew that the rumors outside were true. Bai Lu was no longer timid and cowardly.
He is no longer the easy-to-handle character he used to be.
Chen Chunli glanced at Bai's unobtrusive belly and changed the topic: "You have a really good figure. You are more than six months pregnant and your belly is still so small. Even if you wear two extra clothes, you can't tell that you are pregnant at all."
"
"Unlike me, when I was only three or four months pregnant, my figure started to lose shape along with my belly. I gained weight, my face became rounder, and I even found it ugly when I looked in the mirror. I envy you that you are still white, tender, slim and good-looking.
In shape."
As the breeze blew, Bai Lu calmly gathered her clothes and raised her hand to gently touch her belly.
"Doctors say that it takes six or seven months for thin people to show pregnancy. In the first few months, it is basically invisible. Now that the weather is cold, wearing two more clothes will hide the pregnancy belly."
After Chen Chunli became pregnant, she heard Wang Hao's mother say that thin people do not show their pregnancy until they are older.
But she has a short temper and doesn't have time to spend time wrangling with Bai Lu here. Whether or not she shows her affection is none of her business.
What she cared about was roasted chestnuts: "Bai Lu, I went to the street to buy groceries today and saw Wang Cuihua riding a bicycle with a large basket of roasted chestnuts in the back seat."
Bai Lu: "Yeah."
Chen Chunli was confused by her mediocre reaction, so she could only think to herself: "I remember Wang Cuihua came from the countryside, and she doesn't know how to make sugar-fried chestnuts?"
Bai Lu smiled lightly: "No."
"Then who fried her candied chestnuts?"
"I fried it."
"Why doesn't she roast her own chestnuts and sell them?"
"She won't."
"You can teach me if you don't know how!"
"I don't teach."
Chen Chunli: "..."
"You will be exhausted from doing so much heavy work while pregnant. Roasted chestnuts with sugar are so delicious, so it must be very laborious to fry them. You might as well teach others to fry them."
"I don't want to teach."
Bai Lu smiled very friendly.
A completely unconventional answer.
Chen Chunli choked all the remarks she had prepared long ago back into her stomach, making her so angry that she almost couldn't sit still on her stool.
There will definitely be no way to learn how to make sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Bai Lu's attitude was so determined.
It might still be possible to sell chestnuts like Wang Cuihua, but that would definitely involve splitting the money with Bai Lu.
All she wants is all the money.
Chen Chunli was unwilling to give up, but she couldn't make Bai Lu hand over the method of roasting chestnuts with sugar. Behind Bai Lu was a ferocious and violent Xiao Cheng, and she couldn't force Bai Lu to bow her head.
After thinking about it, Chen Chunli could only take a step back temporarily, frowning and sighing.
"Bai Lu, the baby in my belly is one month older than yours. I'm going to give birth in two months, but I haven't prepared anything yet. That useless wimp Wang Hao has been working with your Xiao Cheng for so long.
, I haven’t saved any money, and I haven’t learned much about skills. I build houses and lay bricks for people, and I have to wait until the houses are completed before I can get paid.”
"My belly is getting bigger day by day, and I absorb nutrients quickly, but I don't have anything good to feed the child. My figure looks longer, but in fact it's all puffy. When the child is born, I don't know if there will be milk to feed..."
"Wang Hao's parents are not in good health and can't go out to work. I can't do anything because I'm pregnant. Wang Hao can't make money and can't even buy small clothes for the child. The child will suffer when he is born...
"
A man mourning his deceased husband has a hard life.
A man who calls his husband a loser who can't make any money.
Bai Lu listened quietly, going in with one ear and out with the other, without making any comments.
Chen Chunli herself became anxious first and said straight to the point: "Wang Cuihua's husband is dead and her life is very sad. Our Wang Hao is also a useless loser, and her life is equally difficult."
"We are all Xiao Cheng's brothers and half relatives. Bai Lu, you won't just die without saving me, will you?"
"No." Bai Lu smiled kindly.
Chen Chunli also smiled and said: "Wang Cuihua is so stupid and can sell sugar-roasted chestnuts. There is no reason why we can't sell them. Qingshui Town next door doesn't sell sugar-roasted chestnuts. I think we can open a stall in Qingshui Town."
Even we use it.
Bai Lu's posture was relaxed, she leaned back in her chair with a smile, "It's pretty good."
Chen Chunli didn't expect it to go so smoothly. It was a bit unexpected, and the smile on her face suddenly grew bigger.
"Then how will you divide the money earned from selling sugar-roasted chestnuts?"
"Excluding the cost price of 20 cents to buy chestnuts and the labor cost of 10 cents per pound, the profit is 50-50 cents." Bai Lu repeated what she had said to Wang Cuihua.
Chen Chunli also bought chestnuts a few days ago, but it was only a few dozen kilograms. It made no difference whether she sold it to Bailu or not.
The cost and labor fees are all in Bai Lu's hands, and the net profit is still 50%. She is just a laborer who helps sell chestnuts, and the salary has to be divided according to the quantity sold.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to sell less roasted chestnuts than a widow?
