I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 17 Flexibility and Stretch
"Mother, this brown sugar costs ninety Wen a catty. If it's five catties, it's 450 Wen. It's not the New Year or the festival. What are you doing with so much sugar? Mom, stop messing around, okay?"

Boss Ning said to Ning Pengpeng helplessly.

"What? Ninety Wen a catty?"

Ning Pengpeng's eyes stared like copper bells, they almost protruded.

I made those pastries by myself yesterday, and it took more than half a catty of brown sugar, right?

Hiss, that is to say, the dim sum I made used up at least [-] Wen of brown sugar all of a sudden?
Including those beans, if you want to buy beans to make snacks in the future, even if you don’t count the wages for working hard for half a day, the cost will be almost a hundred yuan.

In other words, only about half of the [-] copper coins earned in my pocket is profit, which is not enough to buy two catties of brown sugar.

In addition, she told her family to let them work and pay them, so some costs had to be deducted.

Originally, Ning Pengpeng thought that sugar is not expensive, just some beans, plus the booming business just now, it is a huge profit!

I didn't expect that people would be willing to buy her pastries. How can her pastries be made well?
Obviously because she put a lot of sugar in her pastries!

After all, who would buy such an expensive pound of brown sugar?
Ning Pengpeng couldn't help covering his face, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

Thinking about it better, although the cost has become much higher, it is not without profit!

This business is actually easy to do, but the speed of making money may not be so fast, and it needs to accumulate a little to make a lot.

But at the thought of not being able to make money fast enough, Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but wailed in his heart, her carriage~ when can I have it?

"Dear family, I didn't expect you to come to the town in person today. This is, are you here to buy something?"

Just when Ning Pengpeng was very annoyed, the curtain inside the counter was lifted, and a woman came out, it was Liu's mother-in-law, Liu Wang.

When seeing Liu Wangshi, Ning Pengpeng subconsciously straightened his back.

"Yeah, no, I made some pastries at home yesterday, and I ran out of sugar, so I came to buy some."

Ning Pengpeng said that she stepped up her efforts when buying words to show that she was not here to fight the autumn wind.

In Ning Pengpeng's memory, Mrs. Ning had always had a low self-esteem towards Mrs. Liu.

There is no way, the eldest son that I have managed to raise with great care, even though he works as a shopkeeper for his father-in-law in the town.

Talking about it in the village, it is natural to have a bright face, thinking that Boss Ning is promising.

In fact, only Mrs. Ning knew in her heart that this eldest son was now living in his father-in-law's family. If Liu's family had not had a son, she would have given her son to him as a son-in-law for nothing!

Ke Ren was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

It is also because of this reason that Mrs. Ning always feels that she is inferior to Liu Wang.

Although the core of this body has been replaced by Ning Pengpeng, the moment he saw Liu Wang, Ning Pengpeng actually tensed up quickly.

"What my in-laws said is too heretical. Our two families are relatives by marriage. If they are some small gadgets, how can they earn your money? Blessed, what does your mother want to buy? If you don't have much money, don't count money. "

Mrs. Liu Wang always smiled and gave instructions to Boss Ning.

"This……"

Boss Ning stood in the middle awkwardly, looked left and right, not knowing what to say.

If it's really something worth a few pennies, I can make up my own mind to save it for my mother, and at worst, I can just subsidize it with money.

But for this candy, only about ten catties of candy have been bought in my father-in-law's grocery store, and this is still kept, so that guests can buy it for gifts when the beginning of winter next month.

Now my mother-in-law asks for five catties, which is almost half of the goods in the store.

The purchase price of brown sugar is not cheap, even if the purchase price is for my own mother, it is not appropriate!

Seeing that Boss Ning was silent for a long time, Liu Wang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that what her in-laws wanted was not cheap.

Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but look at Liu Wang with admiration. Sure enough, the Liu family's success in opening a shop in Anzhen seems to be inseparable from Liu Wang's clever mind.

"My in-laws are too polite, what I want to buy is not some small gadgets, it's not easy for you to open a shop and lose money.

After all, my family is blessed to work for your family, and I am not the boss. It is not good to treat the things in the store as my own.

Forget it, I forgot the price of brown sugar for a while, I don’t have much money, so I’ll just buy two catties! "

Ning Pengpeng finished speaking with a smile, counted 180 copper coins from the money bag, and put them on the counter.

Liu Wang choked, you know, the old lady Ning in her impression had the temperament of not taking advantage of the bastard.

Although the son-in-law was working in his own shop, the daughter was married to the Ning family. No matter what Mrs. Ning said, she was also the mother-in-law of the daughter and the mother-in-law of the son-in-law.

Why not buy some peace and quiet with some small favors?
In addition, a few days ago, her son-in-law hurried back. At first, she thought that Mrs. Ning was acting like a demon again, so she asked her daughter to rush to the village early the next day.

Unexpectedly, when she came back, she was told that Mrs. Ning had separated the Ning family.

This was beyond Liu Wang's expectations. After all, in her impression, Mrs. Ning's temperament, it would be strange if she didn't hold her sons firmly in her hands!

Seeing old lady Ning coming to her door this time, she was just like boss Ning. Her first reaction was that old lady Ning regretted the separation of the family.

If you come to the door now, you have to make some jokes.

The shop opened by their family can't bear the tossing and tossing of old lady Ning rolling on the ground.

"It's my fault, blessed, hurry up and wrap up the things your mother wants. In-laws, why don't you have a light meal at home for lunch, how about it?"

Mrs. Liu Wang can also bend and stretch, even if Ning Pengpeng speaks with hidden needles, she can still smile as if she didn't understand anything, and politely leave people for dinner.

"Forget it, the sun will rise later this day, and it will be hot to walk! Let's go back first while it's still cool."

Ning Pengpeng admires people like Liu Wang very much.

If it is in modern times, it is definitely a master of sales.

Since he was so polite, she naturally wouldn't go out of her way to tear her skin apart. After all, in the final analysis, it was just the original old lady Ning's pride!

It doesn't have much relationship with others, it's just that he has always been so polite.

"Mom, this brown sugar is ready!"

Boss Ning carefully wrapped the brown sugar in half a catty bag, then tied it firmly with hemp rope, and handed it to his mother.

"These days, my mother should come to the town to sell pastries every day. Maybe I will come to buy some brown sugar next time, so I won't bother your father-in-law's family! It's okay, you have something to do, so don't give it away, I will tell you The third brother is back."

After Ning Pengpeng rejected Mrs. Liu, she briefly told Boss Ning about her coming to town so early today, then turned around and took Ning Laosan away.
