Liu Wenjun rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Our family has only been selling bread for two days, how much money can we make? After deducting the cost, we can barely make a little, so that we don't work in vain."
He wouldn't tell these people how much money he made from selling bread. What if they wanted to borrow money?
Oh, by the way, all the money I earned in the past two days was used to buy bicycles, and I don’t have any money to borrow.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened again.
In the eyes of everyone, they suddenly believed Liu Wenjun's words that the cost of bread was indeed high.
"Then how did your mother have money to buy a bicycle?"
These words stopped Liu Wenjun in his tracks. His mind was racing so fast that he couldn't think of a good reason.
This is when Xu Miaomiao came out of the kitchen, holding some finger mochi that she had saved for eating. While eating, she said, "Of course I borrowed this money. All my relatives on my mother's side have been borrowed from me."
Come on, if you have any spare money, lend me some."
Everyone's eyes were on the finger mochi she was eating, which looked delicious.
Some people were about to ask her for a taste when they heard the word "borrow money" and suddenly they didn't dare to say anything.
It's not worth lending money to someone who has a stutter.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the children in front and gave each of them a mochi. The child was pulled away by the adult just as he was about to take it.
Some children were quick and took the mochi handed over by Xu Miaomiao before the adults took it away.
After a while, Xu Miaomiao heard the cry of the child who was taken away.
She was speechless, okay? Even if it was just a pretense of borrowing money, the attitude of everyone still made her stand up to it.
The people in the yard dispersed, but Li Hongying came over after hearing the news.
She asked with a worried look on her face, "Young man, are you out of money? I still have some money. I'll get it for you as much as you want."
Xu Miaomiao was a little touched. Instead of blaming her for buying a bicycle when she had no money and borrowing money from everywhere, Li Hongying wanted to get her money.
She took Li Hongying's hand affectionately, her eyes were full of smiles, and she lowered her voice and said, "Mom, I bought the bicycle with the money I earned from selling bread, not borrowed money. I still have money to spend, and I don't need your money."
."
Li Hongying thought Xu Miaomiao was embarrassed to speak, so she was a little anxious, "Third daughter-in-law, we are all a family. It is not easy for you to take care of four kids by yourself. If you run out of money, just tell me, but don't hold it in yourself.
The third child is gone, so your father and I have saved some money. If you need it, I will give it to you right away."
The third daughter-in-law shows her heart and soul to them, and they should show it with practical actions.
"Mom, there's no need. I really lied to those people. I have money. I can make money selling bread. If you are willing, come and work with me and I will pay you!" Xu Miaomiao was in need of manpower.
She would probably be exhausted just by making bread by herself.
Instead of exhausting yourself, it is better to give others a chance to make money.
Li Hongying somewhat believed what Xu Miaomiao said. When she heard that she was going to pay herself a salary, she immediately waved her hand and said, "If you are too busy, mom will come over and help you. We are all a family. Don't talk about giving salary to others.
"
"Mom, please come over and help me make bread in the afternoon. I can't do it alone." Xu Miaomiao knew that Li Hongying would definitely not agree to giving her money now.
Then just pay her salary directly.
"Okay, I'll come over in the afternoon."
With Li Hongying's help in the afternoon, Xu Miaomiao found that she felt much more relaxed, and her waist no longer hurt so much.
But she discovered a problem, that is, it couldn't be baked in an oven.
The dough is ready, but we have to wait.
Regarding this problem, Xu Miaomiao felt that she had to find a way, and she could not spend the entire afternoon waiting for the oven to bake bread.
If there were more ovens, she could make the bread needed for the next day earlier and do other things in the afternoon.
Three days later, Xu Miaomiao decided to go to the city again.
Xu Miaomiao decided to give Liu Wenjun a day off, but Liu Wenjun seemed to be obsessed with money and was unwilling to take a rest. He could earn a small hundred yuan every day. He was not tired, not at all.
What's more, selling bread on the street is much easier than working in the fields, and you can make more money.
Seeing his persistence, Xu Miaomiao stopped trying to persuade him.
If he wants to sell it, just sell it.
Xu Miaomiao got up early and came to the city again.
This time she was much more calm than the first time she came. At least the weather wasn't that hot and she wasn't that embarrassed.
On the bus in the city, Xu Miaomiao sighed while looking at the various faces in the city.
Soon the bus stopped at her destination - the old Xu Ji Pastry Shop.
Xu Miaomiao pushed the door open and said directly, "Is Xu Cheng here? I want to talk to him about something."
The salesperson was sure that Xu Miaomiao was not looking for trouble, so she went to the back room to find Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng recognized Xu Miaomiao at a glance and was curious about what kind of business she wanted to discuss with him.
After the two exchanged brief greetings, Xu Miaomiao directly took out the bread she had brought and handed it to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng opened it and took a look, surprise flashed in his eyes, "I didn't have time to ask your name last time, what should I call you?"
"Xu Miaomiao, just call me by my name."
Xu Cheng took Xu Miaomiao into the back room to serve tea. To him, Xu Miaomiao was no longer a simple guest. He saw business opportunities in it.
He had a hunch that this business would probably bring Xu Ji Pastry to a new level.
Xu Cheng nodded, "Is the business you want to discuss with me related to this?"
He pointed to the bread on the table in front of him.
Xu Miaomiao smiled, "This is called bread. You taste it first and then we can talk in detail."
She is very satisfied with her craftsmanship and believes that Xu Cheng is a smart man.
Xu Cheng never took his eyes off the table.
So this thing is called bread, bread?
He remembered that when he went to Beijing before, he seemed to have heard the word bread, but he had never seen it or eaten it.
He was in a hurry when he came back, so he didn't do any research.
Now it seems that he missed a good opportunity.
However, it's not too late.
Xu Cheng tasted each piece of bread one by one, and his eyes were full of surprises. The more he ate, the more delicious he felt. The soft texture and rich aroma made it impossible for people who had never eaten bread to stop.
If Xu Miaomiao hadn't been sitting across from him, he felt that he would have finished these pieces of bread.
“It’s delicious, I like it very much.”
Xu Miaomiao smiled, "I came to you because I want to cooperate with you on bread. I make this bread and I can supply it to you. That means I sell it to you and you sell it to your customers."
"What about the price?"
"One yuan per catty is the same as what I sell in the county. How much you sell it for is up to you."
Xu Cheng nodded. Once this bread appeared in his shop, if it was the first one in the city, the price would increase several times.
