Chapter 23 Mirror Flower Water Moon and Master Zhang
But the way they say it makes it sound like earning three thousand a day is an easy thing to do.

Bai Chen pouted: "It really isn't selling well!"

Qin Xiu was already mentally prepared. She looked at the group and had a good idea of ​​what was going on: "I haven't seen you bring back any vegetables, which means they were sold—how much did you make?"

"Not much—" Bai Chen raised his chin, took out the cash from his pocket, and tossed it into his palm: "Only a little over 1200!"

"That's quite a lot?!"

Qin Xiu was naturally happy to have made money, and it exceeded her expectations: "I was thinking I could only sell it for five hundred! Okay, okay, let's eat!"

Bai Wei lifted the insulated basin covering the dishes, Bai Chen took bowls and chopsticks, and then served soup to everyone. Today's soup was pork bone soup. Qin Xiu hadn't liked eating too much oily food since she got sick, so the soup she made today had been skimmed of oil several times, making the broth clear and sweet.

In contrast, Bai Lu's bottom seemed to be permanently attached to the chair; she didn't move an inch.

But everyone's gotten used to it.

If she's busy preparing meals, it's either because Bai Chen and Bai Wei aren't home, or something has happened.

However, not only was she lazy, but she was also picky about the soup and two dishes: "I told you to keep some wild vegetables and not sell them. Today's meal wasn't as good as lunch."

"I never see you do anything, but when it comes to food, you're the pickiest eater!"

Although Qin Xiu also felt that the food for tonight's meal was indeed just average, she thought that wild vegetables costing twenty or thirty yuan per kilogram were only good for her family to eat...

The food that day was really expensive!

The Bai family loves to eat green vegetables. Tonight's meal will have two pounds of green vegetables, and they will need four or five pounds a day. In the past, they grew their own vegetables, which didn't cost much. Now...
Based on today's vegetable prices, it's almost a hundred!
What kind of family is this? They spend almost a hundred yuan a day on vegetables!
This was absolutely unacceptable to Qin Xiu, who had basically never let the vegetable vendors earn a single penny.

With the children at home, the meals at home are usually quite good. Chickens and ducks are slaughtered as part of the meal plan, sometimes it's fish, sometimes eggs, and sometimes even a pig is slaughtered.

Although these items were all produced at home, Qin Xiu habitually converted them into market prices to assign them value, resulting in an astonishing daily expense for the household.

It costs well over 200 a day!

After all, a five-pound farm-raised chicken from the countryside costs a hundred yuan! Plus, there are seventy or eighty yuan worth of wild vegetables!

Eating this expensive food? Are you out of your mind?!
But after a struggle with his conscience, he said, "Tomorrow I'll go with you to Black Stone Pit, pick some wild vegetables, and leave a couple more bunches of wild scallions to enhance the flavor."

In the end, I still can't bear to part with that hundred or so yuan.

The egret didn't say much; it was all just a bunch of nonsense.

Fortunately, Bai Wei's debt was not exposed, otherwise—all the meat products produced in the family would have to be converted into money.

From then on, the Bai family had to eat coarse food and wild vegetables, and at most, they could eat some pickled radish made by Grandma Bai.

However, money can overcome all poverty.

Once we make money, we can cure all of Qin Xiu's ailments.

But how can one make big money?

As Bai Lu was thinking, her phone kept ringing beside her. She didn't look at it, but Bai Chen couldn't help but say, "Quickly check if it's a message in the group chat. Is it a returning customer wanting to order food?"

The egret was so hungry she practically buried her head in her bowl: "I wasn't planning to watch it after I finished eating! I'm starving!"

"You're the most comfortable one in the family today, how dare you complain about being hungry! I'm full, let me see! Give me your phone!"

Bai Chen was exasperated; why was he so careless about making money?
"Here you go!" Bailu unlocked the phone and tossed it to him.

[Boss, can you still sell 3 bundles of wild vegetables for 50 yuan tomorrow? I want 30 bundles!]

If it's 50 yuan for three bundles, I'll take 12 bundles!

I want 9 bundles!

"Sister! Three bundles for 50 yuan! Lots of people have pre-ordered and paid! We're rich!"

Bai Chen was scrolling through the group chat, getting happier and happier with each post. For him, 50 yuan for 3 bundles was indeed a good profit, and that was the price for today! But Bai Lu refused without even thinking: "Not selling!"

"Why?!" Bai Chen pleaded, "Big sister, can't we not be greedy? What if they don't buy it after you refuse? The pre-order money is already over two thousand yuan! Over two thousand yuan!"

Including today's money, it's enough to pay off one-third of Bai Wei's debt next month!

Moreover, this is a business with no initial investment; the profit is more than enough!

Qin Xiu also said, "Two thousand yuan is already quite a lot—"

"Then if you multiply two thousand yuan by two, wouldn't that be even more?"

Bai Chen was furious.

"Believe me! Selling one bundle is equivalent to the money you get from two bundles now. Just think about how many bundles of wild vegetables you can avoid picking for the same amount of money! Trust me! It really is!"

A price reduction is out of the question!
You can't believe a thing of the sort!

Bai Chen used his trump card, looking at Qin Xiu: "Mom, look at her!"

"Egret!"

"Mom, you can't go wrong by listening to me!"

"You kid."

"Our family is so in debt right now, aren't we desperate to make money? I said I was going to sell wild vegetables today, and nobody thought I was a good candidate, but I still managed to sell them and even made over a thousand yuan."

"……Yes!"

This is a fact, and there's no point in denying it.

"So you see, nothing I do is unreliable! If you want to make money, listen to me!"

Before her mother could speak again, Bailu added, "If I really made a mistake this time, I'll go back tomorrow and beg my boss to let me go back to work!"

Qin Xiu had no choice: "Fine, fine, I'll listen to her!"

Bai Chen: "."

Hi, I’m so angry!

Bai Wei ate and laughed at the same time.

[Dear customers, pre-orders are accepted, but the price of wild vegetables has returned to the original price of 30 yuan per bundle, and there is no room for negotiation!]
After sending the message, Bai Chen slapped his phone against his chest. Heaven knows how much pain he felt when he typed those words with tears in his eyes!

He knew without a doubt that a lot of small sums of money were slipping away right before his eyes.

He didn't even want to look at the notification sounds on his phone, but he couldn't help himself if he didn't look.

"Huh? There really are some rich bastards out there!" Bai Chen's usual gloomy demeanor vanished. "Mom, someone actually placed an order! And it's a big one!"

"Let me see!" Qin Xiu put down her rice bowl and came over.

Just now, a new member named "Mirror Flower Water Moon" was invited into the group by "Master Zhang Er".

As soon as I entered, the phrase "a mirage" flooded the screen.

[Group owner!!! Order food!!!] *3
【30 per bundle, right? Give me 10 bundles of prickly ash, 5 bundles of bracken, and 5 bundles of wild onions!】*3
[Group owner, please collect your money!!!] *3
Finally, I transferred 600 yuan to the group owner!
Although Master Zhang Er did not place an order, he sent several "sprinkling flowers" animations.

Meanwhile, at Chaoyang Haoting residential community.

Aunt Wang, with her red curly hair, was cursing into her phone: "Who are these 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' and 'Master Zhang'? Are they out of their minds?! How are we supposed to negotiate the price now that they've messed things up like this?! I got 3 bundles of wild vegetables for 50 yuan!!"

Dear readers, I have a cold and a headache today! Only one chapter!
