As soon as the group went out, they met people from the village at the door. This person is not someone else, but the daughter-in-law of the village chief’s family, Lily’s.
“Auntie, what are you doing?”
It was the first time for Zoe to do business, and was a little embarrassed to be asked like this. And, as to whether these foods can make money or not, he hesitated and said: “I made some food and tried it outside.”
“Ah? Are you going to do business?” Lily asked in surprise.
Boss Bruce and Zoe are honest people, and everyone in Chujiacun knows this. Can such an honest person make money in business? I don’t know what business I’m going to do.
Thinking of this, Lily’s eyes looked up on the cart, and before Boss Bruce and Zoe agreed, he lifted his hand and lifted the lid.
Seeing the fragrant rice inside, Lily’s eyes straightened instantly.
“Uncle, you have money, so you can buy such good rice to eat.” As he said, Lily stretched out his hand to touch the wooden spoon inside.
This wooden spoon was specially made by Mr. Chu by Lorraine Luo, and it was specially used to serve rice.
Zoe was a little worried and wanted to stop her, but he was a little embarrassed to do it. Now that the son is not at home, there are not many people in their branch, so they are weak. The village chief’s family dare not offend them.
Lorraine Luo didn’t have so many worries. She looked up and saw Lily’s intentions.
When Lily’s hand was about to touch the spoon, he immediately grabbed her wrist.
“Sister-in-law, we are going to sell this white rice.” After speaking, Lorraine Luo took out Lily’s hand, and then reached out to take it over the lid that Lily’s put aside, and closed it.
“And the rice should be eaten while it is hot, it can’t be sold when it’s cold, and I hope my sister-in-law will be considerate.” Lorraine Luo added.
On weekdays, Lily relied on his father-in-law to be the village head, so he was used to domineering blessings, and he also liked to take advantage of small bargains. Now being rejected by Lorraine Luo, he suddenly felt a sense of confusion on his face.
“This is Brother Leng’s wife? It’s been the first time I’ve been married for so long. I’m just curious about what’s in it. It makes you nervous, as if I want to eat.”
Lorraine Luo didn’t speak, but looked at Lily silently like this. I thought, don’t you think that way? However, she didn’t say anything.
When Lily quarreled with someone, it was nothing more than two results. The other party quarreled back, or apologized with a smile. It was the first time like Lorraine Luo. Although she had never seen Lorraine Luo, she had heard of her. Good-looking, bad temper, eyes higher than the top.
Thinking of Chu Wei’s life and death uncertain now, he thought he could humiliate her a lot today, but the other party wouldn’t answer her at all.
This made her uninterested.
Zoe looked at his daughter-in-law and then at Lily, and hurriedly said with a smile: “What the nephew and daughter-in-law are talking about, everyone knows that your family is doing well, and you can see our family’s things wherever you are.” After speaking, take it. The mattress on the side was covered tightly, for fear that it would get hot.
Lily looked at Zoe’s little actions, and his heart was very angry, and some of the words were beyond his head.
“Uncle and aunt do not need to spend time in this way to make money. I heard that the court will issue pension money to those who are dead. You can save some flowers and live the next life.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Boss Bruce and Zoe’s suddenly became extremely ugly.
“My nephew and daughter-in-law said that, my brother Leng is alive and well.” Zoe said.
“Auntie, it’s been two months. If we want to live well, why don’t we receive a letter?” Lily retorted.
Ever since the Grant family came to the village to make trouble, everyone has assumed that Chu Wei Leng is dead. It’s just that no one said it in front of them.
Seeing that the two of them were still alive in imagination, Lily exploded their illusions.
Lorraine Luo saw that Boss Bruce opened her mouth and wanted to speak. She knew that Boss Bruce could not get angry and could easily fall ill. She immediately said: “My sister-in-law also knows that it has been two months since I have not received any letter. If I really die, The court’s pension money must have been issued long ago. Since it has not been issued, it means that he is alive and well. Sister-in-law will never say such things in the future.”
Seeing that Lorraine Luo had said this, Lily suddenly felt aggrieved and suffocated for a while, and said: “Isn’t your maiden family going to the palace to find out about this? You still had trouble with your maiden family in the village that day. Why did you turn around and say this again.”
The eyes of Zoe and Boss Bruce also looked over.
After all, that thing was not done by Lorraine Luo, but by the original owner. Therefore, even if he was pierced in person, Lorraine Luo did not see any embarrassment at all, and said calmly: “At this time and another time, I was very sad and lost my mind when I heard that the matriarch was gone. These days, I thought about it carefully. After a while, I noticed something was wrong. I believe Xiang Gong is still alive.”
At this time, the Aunt Wendy next door to the master Chu’s house came over and said, “Okay, okay, don’t talk about it. Since the court has no believers, maybe Leng is still alive, and Dan’s daughter-in-law don’t say such things. Big brother and sister-in-law, go do business, it’s getting cold carefully, and the guests are gone.”
Hearing this, Lorraine Luo glanced at Aunt Wendy, lowered his head and pushed the cart up, calling out Zoe and Chu.
“Daddy, let’s go.”
After Lorraine Luo and the three of them left, Lily still felt angry and muttered in the crowd: “It’s not mine anymore. It’s obviously that the Lawson family came and said. And can the palace deceive others? Dead? It’s just dead. Isn’t it interesting to not admit it? Just deceive yourself and others.”
There was a sparse echoing sound from the side.
“Isn’t it, the palace will never deceive people, right?”
“Yes.”
“However, Brother Leng’s father is not well, so don’t say it in front of him in the future. If you get angry, it will be troublesome.”
Lily curled his lips and said nothing.
When approaching the dock, the always silent Boss Bruce asked: “Brother Leng, wife, what you just said is true?”
Although Boss Bruce believes that his son is still alive from the bottom of his heart, his reason tells him that his son is probably gone, but he doesn’t want to believe this fact, and has been living in his own imagination.
Lorraine Luo turned his head to look at Boss Bruce, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed Zoe’s ardent gaze.
Lorraine Luo just glanced at that look, but he could not forget it in the rest of his life.
How do you say the look in that eyes, a little moist, full of hope, and a little cautious, on the verge of collapse.
She thought that Boss Bruce and Zoe really believed that their son was still alive, but now looking at their weathered faces and the strands of white hair growing on their heads, she realized that she was wrong.
Chu Wei Leng is their only son, and their only hope. If Chu Wei Leng is really gone, I am afraid that both of them will be silent, and they will not be able to raise their heads in the village for the rest of their lives.
“Naturally still alive.” Lorraine Luo’s tone was very positive.
Zoe’s tears shed all of a sudden, as if afraid that others would see it, he lifted up his sleeve and wiped it.
Boss Bruce calmed down and asked, “Kin’s family said that they had inquired about the news from the palace…”
Zoe’s action of wiping tears paused and looked at Lorraine Luo.
Lorraine Luo pondered for a while, and said, “Daddy and mother, think about it, the masters in the palace are all distinguished people, and the grandparents are just the guards of the palace. On weekdays, they can’t even see the master. How can they? Remember to live with your husband? I’m afraid someone wants my mother’s money, nonsense.”
Luo Jujia didn’t know if the people in the palace were nonsense, she was sure she was nonsense. However, it is a fact that Chu Wei was not dead. What she needs to do now is to stabilize Chu Boss and Zoe Clan so that they can live well until Chu Wei Leng comes back.
If there is something unexpected between these two people before Charles Chu returns, the unbalanced account will be counted by the male lead.
Lorraine Luo’s remarks were very reasonable, and Boss Bruce gradually believed.
“Daddy, mother, let’s not care what others say, as long as the court does not come to the house for a day to report, we don’t have to believe that there are some things. I believe that the Xianggongji people have their own heavens, and they will be fine.”
After all, Chu Wei Leng is the hero in the book. If the hero is dead, the book will have no meaning.
“Yes, there used to be a fortune teller who said that Brother Leng’s life is good, and it will be the life of a wealthy man in the future.” Zoe said with some excitement.
Boss Bruce’s expression also gradually relaxed.
“Okay, let’s go to the pier, don’t go again, the food will be cold. Let’s make more money now, don’t worry about your father.”
“Brother Leng’s wife is right, let’s go quickly.”
Seeing Lorraine Luo pushing up the car, Boss Bruce and Zoe clan realized that Lorraine Luo had been pushing just now.
Boss Bruce was about to take it, but Lorraine Luo refused.
“Father, it’s not heavy, I’m actually very strong, I can push, let’s go quickly.”
Boss Bruce looked at Lorraine Luo pushing extremely fast, and was very surprised. He glanced at Zoe and quickly followed.
After they arrived, they found a wide place to unload the tables, chairs, benches and food on the cart.
After everything was ready, the Zoe family looked at each other.
Zoe and Boss Bruce are not easy people, and Lorraine Luo is not a talkative.
After everyone looked at each other a few
Lorraine Luo lowered his head and opened the vegetable bucket in front of him.
In an instant, the fragrance in the vegetable bucket came out.
Seeing someone looking over, Lorraine Luo pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and started shouting.
Selling food while it is hot, it will be cold if it is delayed, and the taste will be greatly reduced. Zoe and Boss Bruce have never done business in their lives, and they seem to be very nervous, because they can’t count on them anymore.
It would be better for her to do it herself.
“The fragrant rice is served with two dishes for only two cents, and the hot water is free.”
Not like talking, doesn’t mean she can’t shout.
This sentence was concise, focused, and said everything I wanted to say.
When they came over, there were a lot of people watching over, and hearing this clear voice at the moment, and seeing Lorraine Luo’s appearance, more people were curious. Someone has already walked towards this side.
Facing everyone’s gaze, Lorraine Luo did not show any twist, and repeated what he said just now.
At this time, the Zoe clan also let go a little, and yelled like Lorraine Luo.
The first person to walk over has already arrived at the stall, smelling the dishes in the bowl, and couldn’t help but say: “It’s so fragrant. Is it really two dishes for two cents per rice?”
Lorraine Luo replied earnestly: “Three spoons of rice, half a spoon of each dish, two cents in total, and boiled water for free.”
This person is an unmarried person. He eats outside every day. Sometimes he eats some buns and noodles at the dock. Sometimes he delivers the goods to the neighboring county and eats at the county town by the way. At the moment, smelling the fragrance of the dishes, and feeling that the price is very affordable, I immediately ordered a portion.
Zoe’s family didn’t expect to sell a copy so quickly, and hurriedly went to Sheng.
There were a lot of people on the sidelines, seeing that the amount of rice was quite a lot, and seeing that there were more dishes, they nodded. However, not many people buy it.
Afterwards, they agreed with the previous agreement, Zoe’s served rice, Lorraine Luo served vegetables, and Boss Bruce collected the money.
“Well, this celery is well made. It is fried, so tender and crispy.” A person asked.
Then someone seconded: “It’s really delicious, and the color is also beautiful. It doesn’t look like our locally grown variety.”
Lorraine Luo pulled Zoe’s sleeve, and Zoe said, according to the previous negotiation, “It is indeed our local celery, but it is fried with the secret recipe of our ancestors.”
As soon as it heard it was the secret recipe, everyone immediately stopped asking, bowed their heads and started to eat.
“This eggplant is also delicious, soft and fragrant, and full of flavor.”
Seeing that there were more and more people here, those who didn’t bring food at noon also leaned in. Seeing that the price was not expensive, the portion was sufficient, and a few people soon came over.
Because of the amount of work, they ate quickly and left after eating.
Boss Bruce immediately cleared the table and washed the dishes silently.
The first wave of people who ate was gone, and the people who soon returned from the county seat also began to have lunch. Seeing that there were many people here, they came over and took a look.
During the period, the merchants who came and went and waited for the workers to tie the goods to the ship, and they also came to take a look.
Looking at the tables, chairs and plates, the man didn’t eat here. He came over with his own food box and ordered a few portions and went to the boat.
However, most of the people around here are from poor families, and most of them brought steamed buns from home, and the people who ate were few.
Lorraine Luo and the others sold it for almost half an hour before they sold out all the five catties of rice. There was still a lot of boiling water left. Although it was not hot, it was still warm.
Lorraine Luo whispered a few words in Zoe’s ear.
After hearing this, Zoe cried out with Boss Bruce and distributed the boiling water for free to the workers who were resting by the side, regardless of whether those people had eaten with them or not. Such a move immediately made people feel good.
Before leaving, someone asked if tomorrow would come.
After packing up the things, Lorraine Luo and his party went back. Unlike the depression and sorrow when they came, Boss Bruce and Zoe were very happy on the way back.
After returning home, everyone did not pack their things, but counted the copper plates.
Thirty-six articles, a total of 18 copies were sold. Among them, five wealthy businessmen wanted to go there, so only thirteen workers came to eat.
Lorraine Luo pursed his lips.
Boss Bruce and Zoe both seemed very excited.
Although Chu Wei Leng’s daily monthly bills were basically given to both of them, the money in his hands was different from those in his hands. It was earned by his own hands.
They didn’t expect that such a simple thing could make so much money.
Excluding the cost of buying rice and seasonings, I made more than a dozen pennies.
“So much, we have earned almost 15 essays, which is almost the same as working at the dock for a day.” Zoe said with a smile.
Lorraine Luo glanced at her and said, “If we remove the vegetable and firewood money, we actually make about five cents.”
The three made five cents…Lorraine Luo began to wonder if his method was good.
Unexpectedly, Zoe was still happy: “That’s a lot, much better than when we didn’t make a penny.”
Boss Bruce also said: “Well, not a lot of one day, more than a month.”
Lorraine Luo looked at Zoe’s smile full of happiness, and saw Boss Bruce’s uneasy face, and suddenly understood what these copper plates meant to them.
This is probably her hope, the hope of living, the hope of surviving in this world.
Lorraine Luo did not pour cold water any more, but said slightly emotionally: “It is true that there are a lot of food. We always have a lot of food at home. We can’t use it up for a while, and there are more firewood on the mountain, so it doesn’t cost money. It’s only the first day today, and there are probably many people. I don’t know, I will be able to sell more in the future.”
Zoe smiled more happily, holding Lorraine Luo’s hand, and said: “Yes, that’s what I think.”
Seeing Zoe’s smile, Lorraine Luo also smiled.
