Yoshida Mii

Chapter 154 Agree
That afternoon, Song Bai excused himself from feeling unwell, and asked for leave to go back home. Although Huang was happy that his son came home, he was also a little surprised. In the past, when his son came home, he always came home to ask for money, so he asked, "What happened yesterday?" Didn't your father just send you money and noodles!"

Song Bai became angry when he heard it, and blushed and shouted, "What, I can't go home yet?"

Seeing that her son was angry, Mrs. Huang quickly smiled and coaxed: "Look at what mother said, she is confused! You must be missing mother when you go home!"

If Dong Bao was here, he would never believe his eyes, Huang's love for Song Bai at this moment is beyond the reach of all the others combined.It's hard to imagine that Huang, who has always been fierce and poisonous, has such a caring side.

"I'm back... just to tell you something." Song Bai said vaguely. Although he slapped his chest loudly in front of his brothers, he actually didn't have any confidence. It was impossible for Mrs. Huang and Mr. Song promised to let him do business.

Old man Song frowned, intuitively he didn't think what Song Bai was going to say would be a good thing.

"What's the matter?" Old Man Song asked.

Song Bai then said: "Yesterday my father also said that the family's money is very tight now, and they sold all the wheat for me to study. I thought, it's not a problem to always spend the family's money like this... This morning , My few... My classmates told me that they also saw our family’s difficulties and wanted to help me. Their family is in business, and they want me to join the group, do business with them, and share dividends.”

"We...we don't know how to do business." Mrs. Huang said first, thought for a while, and then said, "We don't have that capital either!"

Old man Song smoked a cigarette and said: "Your mother is right, don't worry about these things, concentrate on studying your book, try to pass the exam once, and you will be done!"

Song Bai was in a hurry, a little annoyed, "Father, you put it lightly! The money is not enough to eat, so why should I concentrate on my studies? Besides, what my classmate introduced to me is a business that makes money. It is absolutely foolproof, and I don't need it." Don’t worry, invest the principal and wait for the dividends, you can earn back the principal in the first month, and every month after that, it will be pure profit!”

"Is there something good?" Huang was a little skeptical.

"What? Mother, you still don't believe me?" Song Bai patted his thigh and said, "People who do big business mostly make money. They are not like us. They can only dig hard in the dirt. Food, if they didn’t think highly of me, they wouldn’t have told me how to make money!”

Mrs. Huang hesitated, and looked at old man Song. It's not that she didn't trust her son, but she had never done business before, and she didn't want to take risks in her heart.

"This matter... I think it's a bit of a mystery." Huang said, "Besides, we don't have the money to invest in it. People don't pay attention to our two or three copper coins."

Song Bai quickly said: "If it were someone else, they would definitely not want to let someone who invested so little money join the group, but I am different. Those classmates have always had a good relationship with me, and they often invited me to dinner, and they thought highly of me. They Just to say, I just want to give me face and help us, no matter how much money we invest in it, it will do!"

After a long while, Mrs. Huang did not say a word.

"Father, mother!" Song Bai was in a hurry, "You should tell me something!"

Mrs. Huang sighed, and said: "Our family can't get a single penny out now, and all the money is given to you. What do you want to do? Parents can't control it. The family has no money to give you anymore!"

Song Bai was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Don't worry, father and mother, I know what I know, so I will invest the money in it, and when I make money, I will honor my parents well!"

Looking at her son, Huang couldn't help feeling sad, and wiped her tears and said, "I did something wrong in my previous life. It's a pity that my eldest son is gone, and the younger son has to earn money to support the family... That rich black-hearted ghost is looking at us." If you make trouble, you will cut off the goods of your children and grandchildren, and sooner or later you will throw the materials in the graveyard!"

"Okay!" Old man Song stopped Huang's words, "They give you tofu and bean sprouts for nothing every day, and they don't forget to give you a bowl of good food every day. You still see the sky scolding you, what do the villagers say? You, do you know? I have no face to learn from you!"

Mrs. Huang was immediately annoyed, "She should have listened to me without saying a word when I scolded her! She owes me, my eldest son, our old Song family! If it weren't for her, my eldest son would Can it be broken? This is a serious crime for her, and she will go to the [-]th floor of hell in the future! She treats me better now, it is atonement, and she won’t be in the frying pan if she dies!"

Old man Song had never quarreled with Huang Shi in his whole life, and he was no match for Huang Shi in any case, so he could only smoke in silence.

Mrs. Huang didn't scold to the fullest, but felt depressed and flustered in her heart. She raised her eyes to see the west wing room, and couldn't help but said bitterly: "One and two are heartless! I feed them, babysit them, and wash them. Cooking as an old lady, when it comes to money, everyone can't wait to eat the old lady, there is no good thing!"

Song Bai didn't know what happened to the second brother's family, so he asked, "Mother, what's wrong with my second brother?"

Mrs. Huang snorted, and said angrily: "No one in our family can suffer you, and no one can make you difficult. You haven't got the money to go to the county to take the exam in autumn! I said sell two acres of land. , Waiting for you to be a scholar, won't you be able to earn back by turning around? Your second brother is not willing, with that posture, he wants to eat me! I have raised a beast for nothing!"

Song Bai was also annoyed, "Eldest sister-in-law is a woman, so it's fine if she's ignorant, and second brother is also so worthless! When I pass the exam, I have to..."

Song Bai's words were smooth, and just as he was about to blurt out, he saw old man Song glaring at him, the words twirled around on the tip of his tongue, and swallowed again, thinking bitterly, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, he must let this A group of people who looked down on him knelt down and begged him not to!
"Don't mention this." Old man Song said, selling land is the behavior of a prodigal son, and he is not willing to sell land, "When autumn comes, my second child and I will go to the west to open a few acres of land, and we can take good care of it for a few years. Produce something for the whole family to eat." The ten acres of land can be sold for Song Bai's education.

Naturally, Song Bai didn't care about old man Song's land opening. The purpose of his trip was to get Mrs. Huang and old man Song to agree to join him in business. After getting the letter, he didn't want to stay at home for too long, and he didn't even want to eat dinner at home. He reasoned that he could not delay his studies, and hurried back to the town to report the good news to his "good brothers".

A few days later, Dongbao also added two types of tea eggs and egg-filled biscuits to the store.Poor quality tea leaves can be bought for three pennies a catty. Although the tea is not good to drink, it is most suitable for cooking tea eggs. Add cinnamon, star anise, peppercorns and eggs to boil, and the taste is very fragrant.

The production of egg-filled pancakes is a bit more troublesome. The pancakes have to be rolled back and forth several times before they are poured into the oil pan until they bubble up and fill them with eggs.

The eggs sold in the market cost one penny or two. Dongbao considered this price. The tea eggs were priced at one penny each. The task of collecting eggs was handed over to Aunt Qiuxia. The eggs are sold at Aunt Qiuxia's house for a fair price, which is more profitable and convenient than selling them to egg dealers.When buying the eggs, Aunt Qiuxia naturally spared no effort to publicize that the scholar's lady was kind enough to help everyone earn a couple of dollars to raise the good reputation of Li's mother and daughter.

The price of egg-filled biscuits is slightly higher. Counting the cost of half a penny of eggs, as well as the cost of flour and oil, the cost of an egg-filled pancake is no more than two pennies. Filling pancakes is different from meat dumplings. The price is too high, and not many people are willing to spend so much money on a small pancake.

Dongbao's experience these days has deeply told everyone a truth, if the goods are not complete, they will not be sold for money.Only when there are many kinds of goods can you attract customers. With so many kinds of things, there is always one thing that is your favourite.

On this day, when several people were busy, Second Aunt Song came here with her big belly and Ermao. After walking such a long distance on such a hot day, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely.

Mrs. Li frowned and said to her: "You are about to give birth, why are you running around? What if something happens to you, what should you do!"

Second Aunt Song didn't take it seriously, "I'm already having my fourth child, and I'm pregnant very well, what can I do!"

Li's starting point is for the good of Second Aunt Song, but Second Aunt Song doesn't think so, she only thinks that Li Shi doesn't welcome her here, and is afraid that she will eat the food in the shop!
It was the first time for Second Aunt Song to visit Baoji Tofu Shop, and when she saw the shop full of people coming and going, she couldn't close her mouth in surprise for a long time, secretly thinking that the eldest daughter-in-law really made a fortune this time!Just relying on this shop, there is money that can't be spent in a few lifetimes!

"Sister-in-law." Second Aunt Song smiled all over her face, "You can also teach me the art of making tofu. When I give birth, I'll come and help you!"

Mrs. Li glanced at her and said slowly: "Sisters and sisters, don't look at the business of this shop is good, but this work is also tiring. I have to get up in the middle of the night to grind beans and boil soybean milk. I don't touch the ground all day. Tired people I can’t even move, and apart from paying rent and taxes, I don’t have much money left, which is more than farming at home.”

How could Second Aunt Song not know that this was tiring work, and she was not a hardworking person, she just wanted to learn the craft and sell it to others at a high price.

"Hey." Second Aunt Song responded, and said to Mrs. Li: "Sister-in-law, give us three bowls of bean curd to taste, you have been in business for a long time, and we still don't know what bean curd tastes like! "

Mrs. Li is not a stingy person. She is willing to invite anyone from her relatives to drink a bowl of bean curd and eat buns. She immediately served three bowls of bean curd for Second Aunt Song. With Da Mao Er Mao walking into the shop.

"Hey, wait a minute." Dongbao stopped Aunt Song at the door, and said, "Aunt Song, there are too many people in the room, so I can't sit down. Let Da Mao and Er Mao squat under the eaves to eat, and you go in and sit alone. Just eat it."

If Second Aunt Song couldn't squat down with her stomach stretched out, Dong Bao would have wanted her to squat down too.
