Little Ruyi twisted in Li Pingan's arms, indicating that she was about to go to the ground. Li Pingan let her down, pinched her skinny face, and laughed and cursed: "Brother said you didn't buy candy, so don't let her go." Did you hug me?"
"No, I'm going to pour water for my eldest brother!" Xiao Ruyi snorted dissatisfiedly and ran to the kitchen with her short legs.
It is said to be a kitchen, but it is actually a thatched shed supported by bamboos. It is similar to the shed they used to hide from floods on the mountain. It is ventilated from all sides and has no stove.
Jixiang and Xinglong were both in the shed. It was time to cook dinner, Jixiang was lighting the fire, and Xinglong was sitting on the ground playing, passing a small branch to Jixiang from time to time.
In fact, there was no need for Xiao Ruyi to pour water, Jixiang had already filled a bowl of water, but Xiao Ruyi insisted on being attentive, and the bowl of water had to pass through her hands.
After Li Ping'an drank the water, he took over Ji Xiang's work and asked her to take Xinglong and Ruyi to play.
A child who is only five years old will have to cook and do housework. In ten to fifteen years, he will have to think about getting married. He will not be able to stay in his own home for twenty years. What about Li Ping'an, a person with past life memories? Can you not pamper them?
When they get married, if he wants to pamper them, it won't be as convenient as it is now.
You still have to work hard to make money. If you have money, you can find a good family for your sisters in the future, and prepare a heavy dowry for them, so that your sisters can straighten their backs in the husband's family after they get married.
Soon, Cao Ya came over. Li Ping'an didn't invite her into the house. He was thirteen years old and Cao Ya was eleven, so they had to avoid suspicion.
"Brother Xiao Shan, I told you that the bucket of jelly sold for forty cents today." Li Ping'an took out the copper plates from his arms and counted them in front of Cao Ya. Not one was missing, and then he counted two coins. Ten copper coins, "I found this path today, and I taught you how to make the jelly. I don't want more, I'll take half, and the remaining half is yours."
"Can we get half of it?" Cao Ya was stunned and hesitated to reach out for the twenty copper coins.
This is too much. As Li Ping'an said, he taught them to make jelly and sold it to them. They just made jelly at home. For people like them who are used to doing this, it didn't count at all. Why do you think it's so easy, and you can actually get half of the money just like this?
When I was in Xiaochen Village, the adults in the village might not be able to find a job if they wanted to find some odd jobs to earn money to support their families during the slack period. Even if they found a job, they might not be able to earn 20 yuan a day. However, they just got up early and spent two hours making one. A bucket of jelly would give you twenty cash.
Brother Ping'an is too kind, right?
"Look at your potential, you don't dare to take only twenty coins? It's not like you've never seen more money." Li Ping'an found it funny that this girl still had a box of silver at home, and, "This is just a family. You make one more bucket tomorrow, and I will continue to negotiate the business and try to win a few more, and then the money you will get will be even more!"
Cao Ya smiled sheepishly, and then took the twenty copper coins. She happily picked up one and put it in front of her eyes, looking at it non-stop, and said: "That's different, this is money we earned by ourselves." , I feel at ease with this money.”
Then he looked at Li Ping'an and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to make money with you, Brother Ping'an. I know that my idea is right. Look, don't you just earn twenty coins easily?"
"I didn't agree to you before because I was a little worried about the situation in your family. I told you." Li Ping'an didn't dare to have anything to do with Caoya's biased father and bad mother. He had made money, but her parents couldn't keep it if they knew about it, and they might even get a severe beating. Secondly, he was worried that Caoya's gambling scumbag father would try to cheat on him. Giving Cao Ya the money and making trouble at his house was enough to make him upset.
This was not something he was worried about blindly, but there was a real precedent. When Taohua held the newborn Zhaodi and begged Chen Dajuan to feed Zhaodi a sip of breast milk, many of their mothers came to his door to curse. That is to say, Chen Dajuan's mother's family is in Xiaochen Village and she is close to the village chief's family. She does not dare to go too far and just curses at the door.
And this happened more than once. Most of the people in the village felt sorry for the three Caoya sisters and would sometimes give them some food. But if Caoya's father and mother found out about it, Caoya's mother would come to scold them for meddling in their own business and look down on them. Home.
When they are making trouble like this, no matter whether it is Li Pingan or anyone in the village, no matter how much they sympathize with the Caoya sisters, unless they are really desperate and come to ask for help, they will generally not help them easily. Why bother to make a fuss about it, right?
Li Ping'an was born in two lives, and he grew up in the countryside in his previous life. He had never seen anyone as shameless and weird as Caoya's father and mother.
Therefore, although he could take Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Dong to find mountain goods to sell for money, he did not dare to agree to Cao Ya's request to join in. He just ate her parents and made trouble like that. Once money was involved, he probably wouldn't I want to live in peace.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back first. Get everything you need to prepare. You must prepare two buckets of jelly before midnight tomorrow. Don't delay."
"Brother Ping'an, don't worry, we won't miss anything." Caoya assured, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked, "Brother Ping'an, we want to go to the village to sell jelly, what do you think?"
Li Ping'an was surprised and a little relieved, "Just do it if you want to. You can make more money by selling more points. You can find your own way, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed. Tell me what you think. .”
Cao Ya replied: "I just wanted to sell more, but we are not familiar with the place, so I need someone to guide me on the first day. I didn't want to go far, so I just hawked in a few surrounding villages. But I don’t know how much it will cost, so I want to ask you.”
Pricing is indeed a problem, but fortunately, the price Li Ping'an sold to Juwei Pavilion was not high. He said without much thought: "A normal bowl is almost a pound, so let's sell it for two cents a bowl." , since you are traveling from village to village, if someone wants to buy it, it is convenient to go home and get a bowl. You can estimate for yourself how many spoons a normal bowl needs to hold for a bowl of jelly. Even if what others bring is a sea bowl, you will have an idea."
Cao Ya worriedly asked: "For two cents a bowl, will anyone buy it?"
"Don't you know if anyone has bought it once? And you see, the people in our village are living well now. They should be willing to spend two pennies to taste the taste of new food." As he said that, Li Ping'an smiled mischievously. He stood up and said, "Besides, when you go to other villages to sell food, you can give some to the children first. If they think it's delicious, but if they can't get enough of it, they will definitely go home and ask adults to buy it."
"..." Cao Ya hesitated, "They won't be beaten by adults, right?"
Li Ping'an squinted, "As a businessman, do you need to worry about this? Shouldn't you be worried about whether you can sell it?"
