Chapter 36: Inappropriate

After Qiu's intestines were boiled in water, Lu Quan came back with tired steps.

As soon as he got on the boat, Lu Quan was stunned when he saw a large pot full of sausages.

Is your wife so excited? You just ate the pig intestines yesterday and bought them again today?

“Where did the pig intestines come from?”

"Aunt Ding sent it. She said it was delicious and asked for help to make another pot."

Qiu took the boiled sausage out of the pot and put it on a wooden plate to cool, and then hurriedly started cleaning the pot to prepare dinner.

Dinner at home is actually very simple. Just boil a pot of water and cook a large pot of cornstarch paste.

There is no need to do any work at night. It would be nice to have cornstarch paste to drink. No one would be willing to make dry pancakes.

"OK."

Thinking of yesterday's braised pork sausage, Lu Quan licked his lips and said, "Then you do it, I'll wash it."

It wasn't until the whole family sat down to eat that Ms. Qiu had time to explain to Lu Quan clearly what happened to Aunt Ding today.

"Doing business with the Ding family? Isn't it appropriate!"

Lu Quan was a little reluctant. They were just fishermen and did business with the people in the town. In the end, not all bones were left after being eaten.

Ms. Qiu was not very willing: "Yes, we don't know how to do business. We don't understand what 30-70 means."

"What's wrong? Why don't you understand?"

Lu Xiaoli didn't even bother to drink the cornstarch: "The Ding family produces pig intestines, and my mother is responsible for making them. When they are done, you can get money. What a great thing."

"A good thing is indeed a good thing, but I always feel that it is not appropriate."

Lu Quan couldn't tell what was wrong, but he always felt a little uneasy.

Perhaps it was because he had been living hard for too long, and the days of pie-in-the-sky pie-in-the-sky days made him a little anxious.

"If my parents don't want to cooperate with Ding's family in doing business, then they won't do it."

Lu Xiangge had an indifferent expression on his face, but while he was talking, his hands were not idle. He took out the rice grains in his bowl with a wooden spoon and fed them to Lu Xiaowu. Lu Xiaowu was drooling after eating, and she didn't mind it either.

"I, I think it can still be done."

Lu Xiaoli still wanted to compete. She went out with Xiao Si to sell rice dumpling leaves these past two days, which opened her horizons a lot.

She really wants to make money, really wants to make money.

Lu Xiaoli nudged Lu Xiaoqing, who was sitting beside him, with his elbow: "Sister, tell me."

Lu Xiaoqing glanced at his parents, lowered his head and helped Lu Xiaowu arrange the bib in front of him: "I listen to... my parents."

How does she, a person who can't even speak well, have the right to make decisions for her parents?

"Sister..."

Although Lu Xiaoli was angry with her eldest sister for not living up to her expectations, he also understood her character. He shouted dissatisfied and looked at Lu Xiaoyu, who was immersed in drinking cornstarch paste: "Xiaoyu, what about you?"

"ah?"

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Xiaoli blankly: "Second sister, what am I?"

At first glance, he didn't pay attention to what they were saying. Lu Xiaoli rolled his eyes in anger.

She could only place her hope in Lu Sheige: "Xiao Si."

At this moment, Lu Xiaoli's face already showed a bit of grievance and pleading.

She hoped that Lu Xiaosi could help her say something. If her mother didn't want to do it, she could do it. She was not afraid of getting dirty or suffering. She was only afraid that her family would not have enough money to buy rice and food, and that she would not have enough food and clothing.

"Working together has the advantage of working together. Aunt Ding's family produces pig intestines, and our family braises them and buys them for them. Basically, it only costs some aniseed, firewood, and labor."

Moreover, this aniseed material can be used repeatedly, and the most wasteful thing is firewood and labor.

For the Lu family, the least valuable thing is labor. As for firewood, the Lu family sisters are all diligent, so they just go out more often to cut grass and collect firewood.

Lu Shege pondered for a moment and continued: "However, there are disadvantages. We made the things, but they were sold by the Ding family. In the meantime, the things sold passed through countless hands and were eaten by the guests. Whose family is it?

What? Is it because our family didn’t braise it properly, or was it caused by Ding’s mother-in-law’s selling the leftovers from the night before? It’s hard to say clearly.”

Lu Xiaoli's hopeful eyes dimmed little by little in Lu Shege's words.

Yes, if the guest is hungry, who does it belong to?

Lu Quan nodded: "What Xiaosi said makes sense, it's better not to do this business."

Although his family is very poor, they cannot afford any risks.

"It has to be done."

Lu Sheige took out the rice grains from the bowl with a spoon and continued to feed Lu Xiaowu: "However, we can't divide it with the Ding family. There are seven of them and three of us. As for us, we will actually suffer."

"But you said guests..."

Just as Lu Xiaoli was about to interrupt, Lu Xiange raised the spoon in his hand and shook it: "We are not responsible for the guests and the responsibility is not ours. We can talk to Aunt Ding. For example, we only get 10% of the profit.

Isn’t it enough that the rest belongs to Mrs. Ding’s family?”

"You're losing 30%, but you want 10%? Are you stupid?"

Even if Lu Xiaoli doesn't understand business, he still knows the difference between a 30% profit and a 10% profit. It would be silly to give up a 20% profit just for risks that are not certain yet.

"Second sister, don't worry."

Lu Xiige continued: "If we take 10%, it will be for nothing. It means we don't have to do anything."

Lu Xiaoli was confused: "You don't have to do anything, just get profits, how can Aunt Ding be willing to do that?"

Lu Shege smiled and said, "We have a recipe. We will provide the recipe and Aunt Ding will make it at home and sell it. We only want a 10% profit. What do you think, father and mother?"

Lu Quan didn't say anything, but Qiu shook his head: "The Ding family won't be willing. This profit may seem inconspicuous, but if the business is really good and continues for a long time, the Ding family will definitely not be willing. They might as well just take it.

Money can buy our prescriptions."

"It's not impossible to buy a son, but I'm afraid Aunt Ding won't be able to pay a high price."

Lu Sheige took a sip of the corn porridge with all the rice grains removed, and swallowed it with difficulty. This corn porridge was really unpleasant to drink!

Scratch your throat!

She really wants to be rich, so she can eat rice, drink porridge, eat large pieces of meat, and buy whatever she wants!

Qiu asked tentatively: "Xiao Si, how much do you want to sell this recipe?"

Lu Shege said: "I am not willing to pay 128 taels, and neither is Aunt Ding. I think it is better for us to provide the recipe and let them make it at home. We only charge 10% of the profit for one year.

It has nothing to do with us that this recipe will belong to the Ding family after one year."

Lu Xiaoli asked hurriedly: "With 10% a year, how much money can our family get?"

Lu Xiangge smiled confidently: "I think five or sixty taels will definitely be fine. The key depends on the Ding family's craftsmanship."

"so much?"

Not only Lu Xiaoli was shocked, but also Lu Quan, Qiu Shi, and Lu Xiaoqing looked at Lu Sheige in surprise.

Lu Xiaoyu, who was busy drinking cornstarch paste, also raised his head: "If we can earn so much, we might as well make it ourselves."

"It's not impossible for us to do it, but it's definitely not as convenient as Ding's family. Moreover, this idea was first proposed by Ding's family. If we do it, we will directly offend Ding's family. If we offend Ding's family, our family

It’s not that convenient to buy pig intestines. Besides, the Ding family has been in Jiangjiaba for so many years, so it’s easy to cause trouble for our family.”

Lu Xiuge's words immediately extinguished the three Lu Xiaoli sisters who were originally full of hope.
