Chapter 69 Bai Lu is a big liar

 Xiao Dazhuang left when he saw that he had nothing to do.

Xiao Wei also wanted to ask him to help move the bamboo, but he thought that it wouldn't take much to nail it into the river. He could do it himself, so he turned around silently and followed Bai Lu and Wang Cuihua into the yard.

After Bai Lu sat down, Wang Cuihua poured her tea, which was the small chrysanthemum tea she brought back from her parents' house.

 Appropriately light and dark fragrance, derived from the fragrance of nature.

 Xiao Wei was also treated to a drink.

Sitting next to Bai Lu, drinking sips, quietly listening to Wang Cuihua and Bai Lu chatting.

After chatting for a long time, Wang Cuihua started to talk about the key points: "Bai Lu, when I went to the countryside to worship my ancestors, I saw you buying chestnuts. I just remembered that we also have a lot of chestnuts in our family. They are all buried in sand. Each fruit is very full. There is no Even the shriveled ones can be made into sugar-fried chestnuts.”

Bai Lu smiled and said in a very trusting tone: "The purchase price is two cents per catty."

Wang Cuihua almost choked on the tea in her mouth. The corners of her mouth twitched and her throat twisted for a long time before she swallowed the tea with difficulty.

 The price is the same as that of the Xiao family, not at all low price, not to mention taking more care of your own people.

The smiling white eyes are full of kindness.

Wang Cuihua's scalp went numb when she saw it, she paused, and sighed: "Since A Biao's death, the family's living expenses have all fallen on me alone, but I don't know how to do anything except plant a few vegetables and raise a few. I only have a little chicken and duck, and no other income at all. Even the rice and oil at home are obtained from my natal family in the countryside. "

"Last month my mother came to town to visit me. When I was cooking, there was no salt at home, so she paid for it. Seeing how miserable my life was, my mother kept asking me to find someone to marry again. But Ah It has not been a year since Biao passed away, how can I remarry at this time..."

Wang Cuihua shook her head resolutely, but her tone became more and more sad and miserable: "But life has to go on, and I have no income, so life is really getting more and more difficult..."

 “It’s quite difficult,” Bai Lu put away the smile on her face, and instantly turned into an extremely realistic expression of sympathy.

But a certain memory of the boss came to mind.

After Xiao won the bid and went out to work alone, he brought with him a group of thugs from the big boss. When he went to the casino to collect debts, he had a fierce conflict with the debtor, and both sides suffered casualties.

 Xiao Zhongbiao was hacked to death with random knives.

The big boss's organization is roughly the same as the big gangs in Hong Kong gangster movies. It has a pyramid structure from top to bottom, with strict hierarchical rules and regulations and clear rights.

A novice like Xiao Zhongbiao who is just starting out and has no outstanding historical achievements is at the bottom of the pyramid.

 The status is only one point higher than the bottom thug.

According to the rules of the big boss, if the minions die, they will die, and ordinary things are not worth mentioning.

 The bottom of the pyramid does not deserve a pension either.

The next day, Xiao Cheng and Luo Shiliu and others came back from collecting a bill from a big thorn in Nan City. They mentioned the matter in front of the big boss. The big boss gave Xiao Cheng the bid for Xiao Cheng's sake. A pension of 3,000 yuan for the family members.

The final pension of 3,000 yuan was given by Xiao Cheng to Xiao Zhongtiao's only family member, Wang Cuihua.

 In less than half a year, Wang Cuihua began to complain about poverty, lack of money, and that life was difficult.

Bai Lu just drank tea silently without talking.

 Xiao Wei also drank tea silently without speaking.

Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang believed him when they said they had no money. Wang Cuihua went out on the street every day, either buying fish or pork, ribs, pig's trotters... He didn't believe them when they said they had no money.

Wang Cuihua felt annoyed and anxious when she saw Bai Lu stopped talking. She couldn't help but speak again: "It would be great if I could be as smart as you, Bai Lu. I could know everything, and I could start a small business to support myself."

Bai Lu looked modest: "You all know it's a small business, just barely enough for food and clothing."

Wang Cuihua regrets talking about small business. She cares about small businesses, so it's a slap in the face, but the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

I can only sigh with envy: "It would be great if I could also do a small business, but it's a pity that I can't roast chestnuts with sugar."

“If I could also make sugar-roasted chestnuts...Brother Xiao Cheng wouldn’t be talked about by the neighbors about his brother’s death, and no one would care about his brother’s wife who is in trouble...”

Wang Cuihua looked sorry for Xiao Cheng's brother's guilt: "If I can also make candied roasted chestnuts, at least I can sell candied roasted chestnuts to make a little money and barely survive."

Bai Lu listened to the foreshadowing until her ears almost became calloused, and finally reached the ultimate goal.

  I immediately said, "It's not difficult to sell roasted chestnuts with sugar. You can sell them too."

Wang Cuihua was stunned. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and her sad face instantly turned into a big chrysanthemum.

“Bai Lu, I know that you are as good as Brother Xiao Cheng, and you know that you will take care of us relatives who are suffering brothers and sisters, and you will definitely not let us go hungry.”

“It’s not difficult to learn how to cook chestnuts with sugar. Let’s see when you are free. I’ll go to your house and learn from you. I learn things very quickly. After I finish learning today, I’ll be able to start my business tomorrow.”

After listening to this, Xiao Wei couldn't even drink the tea.

Looking straight at Bai Lu, she wondered if she had turned back into the fool she had been deceived by Li Shuixian.

But Bai Lu smiled extraordinarily considerately: "Learn to roast chestnuts, it's so troublesome. You sell me the chestnuts, and I'll give you candied roasted chestnuts. You can just sell them out!"

Wang Cuihua: “…”

  Xiao Wei: “…”

 How great, don't you want to make money... If you set up a stall and do business like the fifth aunt, you can make money.

If there is a difference, it is that the fifth aunt cooperates with Bai Lu, and Wang Cuihua works for Bai Lu.

 I don’t know how much the salary will be.

Wang Cuihua's face turned green and white. No matter how stupid she was, she knew she had been tricked by Bai Lu. Bai Lu had no intention of teaching her how to make sugar-fried chestnuts, as long as she helped sell sugar-fried chestnuts!

 But I still have to ask about the wages: "Then, how do you divide the money you get from selling sugar and roasting chestnuts?"

Bai Lu said: "After excluding the cost and the labor fee of ten cents per pound, the net profit is fifty-five cents."

“It costs 10 cents for labor to fry chestnuts!” Wang Cuihua was so excited that she howled loudly.

Bai Lu took it easy and explained with her signature fake smile: "Roasting chestnuts requires strength and technique."

 Technology, technology, technology…

Wang Cuihua’s high notes suddenly died down.

 Although the net profit is 50/50, which is quite a lot, she wants all the profits.

She was the one who produced the chestnuts, and she was the one who went around selling them. Bai Lu roasted the chestnuts and charged labor fees. Finally, she sat comfortably at home, waiting for her to come back from selling sugar-roasted chestnuts and divide them up. She got half the money.

Wang Cuihua felt that she was at a loss no matter how much she thought about it.

But Bai Lu analyzed her with a smile on her face: "You don't lose money. Look, you sell chestnuts to me for two cents per catty, and you can collect the money immediately. My labor cost is only one cent per catty, and I make a profit in the end." The net profit is 50 cents, you add 20 cents to 5 cents, and I only add 10 cents to 5 cents. You are 10 cents more than me, so you obviously make the biggest profit."
