Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

"One cent a bowl! One cent a bowl of delicious jelly!"

Youcai yelled at the top of his lungs, but Zhang Xiuhua told him to stop, "When it's almost time for lunch, they'll come over to buy food. Don't disturb other students while they're taking their exams."

Youcai said "oh".

When the class was about to end, Zhang Xiuhua went to the state-owned restaurant to get food. She saw that other stalls were selling hot food, but Youcai's stall was empty. She sighed and handed the lunch box to Youcai, "You go find Jidong. I'll help you sell."

Youcai felt a little embarrassed, "Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with that!" Zhang Xiuhua urged him to hurry up, "Don't delay Jidong's meal."

Youcai nodded and then went in with the food.

I don’t know what happened, but no one came over when Youcai was here, but when Zhang Xiuhua was standing here, soon someone came over and wanted to buy one to try.

Zhang Xiuhua is skilled at mixing jelly, and she has prepared the sauces with talent. All she needs to do is put them in the right proportions. After she has mixed a bowl, she hands it over and asks the other person to bring the bowl over.

This bowl was not the white porcelain bowl at home, but the coarse porcelain bowl used by rural people, which was not worth much. But if the other party took it away, she would lose money.

The other party nodded, "Okay! I'll bring it to you later."

Youcai gave the lunch box to Jidong, but was worried about the business here, so he ran back.

Zhang Xiuhua's business is pretty good. She has sold eight portions in a blink of an eye, but the coarse porcelain bowls may not be enough.

"How many bowls did you take?" Zhang Xiuhua asked anxiously.

"Twelve!" Youcai also noticed, "I counted them when I came here. These jelly noodles are only enough to sell twelve bowls! It's the first day of making food, so I dare not make more."

Zhang Xiuhua took a look and found that the coarse porcelain bowl was just enough! People in Northeast China have a large appetite, and a piece of jelly is about one and a half kilograms.

Zhang Xiuhua handed him the jelly stand and asked him to try mixing it. "Have you eaten?"

Youcai nodded, "I ate it when I came here."

Zhang Xiuhua asked Youcai to stay here and wait for the dishes to be collected while she went to find Jidong for dinner.

When she finished her meal and came back with her lunch box, Youcai was squatting at the school gate, looking very depressed.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiuhua saw that he looked listless and thought something had happened.

She really guessed it right. Youcai raised his chin and motioned her to take a look. Only six of the twelve coarse porcelain bowls were returned. Six people did not return them.

"If you sell it tomorrow, you can collect a 10 cent deposit, and they will return the bowls!" Zhang Xiuhua felt a little headache, "It's my fault, I didn't think of this before."

Youcai waved his hand and said, "Don't blame you, I just didn't think of it before."

"Doing business is not that easy." Zhang Xiuhua patted Youcai on the shoulder. In her previous life, she heard Jidong talk about the difficulties he encountered when he started his business. Many people came to find fault with him. When he opened a store in a certain place, he had to manage all kinds of relationships before he opened it. Although he looked glamorous to outsiders, he would cry every time he talked about the early days of his business.

Youcai is an indestructible cockroach. "It's okay! I won't make any profit or loss today. I will definitely make more tomorrow!"

He rode his bike to find Ergou and waved goodbye to Zhang Xiuhua.

Zhang Xiuhua went home first, and when Jidong came home after the exam, he told her something, "Brother Youcai asked me to tell you to bring him some sweet potato starch from the county town tomorrow."

Zhang Xiuhua was surprised, "What he brought is not enough?"

Jidong shook his head. "He said he wanted to make more and sell them at the factory gate. Business is better there."

It turned out that Ergou found that he couldn't sell jelly at the school gate, so he moved the jelly stall to the factory gate. At that time, the workers had more money than the students, and after only ten minutes, many people came to buy jelly. He went there a little late, if he had just got off work, the business would probably be better.

Zhang Xiuhua thinks Ergou is better at doing business than Youcai. But it is Youcai's first time after all, and maybe after more times, he will adapt.

The next morning, Zhang Xiuhua went to the county town carrying a bag of sweet potato starch. Of course, she couldn't carry it to the commune, so she borrowed a bicycle from the team leader.

When I delivered the sweet potato starch to the school gate, Youcai was already waiting. He had set up two iron buckets today, each containing a dozen pieces of jelly.

Youcai saw her coming over and said with a smile, "I made thirty dollars today. Ergou also made thirty dollars."

Zhang Xiuhua tied the sweet potato starch to the front seat of the bicycle, tied it tightly with a rope, and then went to the factory near the school with him.

Youcai finally had time to whisper to Zhang Xiuhua, "Yesterday afternoon, Ergou and I went to the factory gate to sell jelly. All 30 servings were sold out."

If the jelly is sold out today, he will increase the quantity tomorrow.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled. This means that if she could sell 60 copies a day, she would earn 6 yuan, minus half of the cost, which would be 3 yuan. This would be 90 yuan a month.

Earning more than regular workers, this is making a fortune quietly. Unfortunately, many people now regard street vendors as profiteers and are unwilling to do this.

"Okay! Do your job well. Don't let anyone steal your things!" Zhang Xiuhua was happy for him when she saw how excited he was. She asked for the address of his rental house and went back to wait for Jidong.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jidong finished his high school entrance exam. But he was still busy helping Baolin, Yaoyao and Jilin with their homework.

Of course, he also had to teach himself high school courses. Many subjects had changed this semester, and he was reading a high school textbook from Youcai, which was a little more difficult than before.

The weather was too hot, and the children didn't like to move, let alone study, especially Jilin, who would rather lie down than sit.

He took a reclining chair and slept soundly under the fruit tree. I don't know where he got so much sleep.

In the past, Youcai had always used threats and intimidation to cure Jilin's laziness. Zhang Xiuhua's method was to beat drums and gongs and bribe.

Jidong's method was much simpler and more brutal. He tricked Jilin into betting points with him. As long as Jilin could get 80 points in the exam in a month, he would give Jilin 100 points.

Otherwise, Jilin would have to give him 100 points.

As for who will make the test paper, the two have already discussed it and let Youcai be in charge of making the test paper. Of course, Youcai is not at home now, and he doesn't know that he has been assigned a task by his two younger brothers. Even if he knew, he would probably be very happy. At least he can be an examiner for once!

Jilin was not tempted by the points, but was forced to do so. After Jidong finished his class, he asked Baolin to tell the gossip in the village, and she stopped talking halfway through. Although Jilin was slow-tempered, he had a gossipy heart, and he couldn't stand hearing halfway through. After three times, he took the initiative to find Jidong and bet with him!

Baolin whispered to Zhang Xiuhua secretly, "Mom, I think Jidong is the most cunning!"

"Don't say that to my brother!" Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her head, "This is called being smart!"

"It's the same idea anyway." Baolin held two candies. "He used two candies to lure me into telling a story, and then forced Jilin to gamble with him. He also made money from your tuition fees! He got all the benefits!"

Yes, that's right, Zhang Xiuhua asked Jidong to give extra lessons to the children, and it cost money. A big reward will always bring a brave man, so there is no need to worry about him not doing his best.

"I asked you to ask Jilin to teach me before, why didn't you think of this idea?" Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "You should learn from others' strengths. In the future, you can also become very smart."

Baolin nodded thoughtfully.
