Chapter 30 Proposal to Make Snacks

“But…” Xiao Yun’s hesitation successfully aroused their curiosity.

“But what?” asked Xiao He.

Xiao Yun said, “Let’s not talk about how much money we can earn through these ventures since we don’t have much experience dealing in those industries yet. Instead, we’ll try something different.”

This time, Xiao Yun didn’t keep them in suspense and immediately said, “It’s to cooperate with Aunty Wang Li’s grain station but with a twist. Aunty Wang Li can provide the factory and then you can use the two hundred thousand yuan to buy some new equipment to transform her place to start producing snacks. Then, you can sell these snacks in my friend’s supermarket which has quite a large chain.”

When Xiao He heard this, he immediately rejected it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to get in touch with Wang Li, but he felt that her grain station was doing well on its own. How could she listen to his advice and change her business into one that sold snacks?

But Xiao Yun’s next words shook Xiao He.

“Now, whether Aunty Wang Li’s grain station is good or not is not up to us to decide. You can ask Aunty Wang Li to see what she says. She should know her factory best.”

At this time, Lin Feiyang said, “Old Xiao, I think it’s feasible. Although our town doesn’t have a factory that produces snacks, the big cities have already started to venture into it. I have a classmate who works there. He’s also a minor official. Anyway, he can get in touch with the people above. He told me before that it’s good to grab opportunities, but I don’t have the ability, so I simply told him that I didn’t take it seriously at that time.”

If Xiao He still had 50% of doubt in his heart after listening to Xiao Yun’s words, then it had reduced to 20% after listening to Lin Feiyang’s words.

“Do you know how much they can earn from selling to the supermarket in a day?” asked Lin Feiyang

By then, Xiao He’s curiosity had been completely aroused. He couldn’t wait to ask, “How much?”

“Every day, you would be able to make around five hundred thousand yuan from selling to supermarkets. After deducting the cost of labor and other expenses, the profit would be about one hundred thousand yuan.

“If you provide a constant supply to the supermarket every day, soon, they will increase their orders because it would not be enough.”

Xiao He looked surprised as he said, “No way, is it really that much?”

Li Ping was also in disbelief and asked the same question.

“Ugh, look, why would I lie to you?” Lin Feiyang picked up the cup in front of him and drank a mouthful of water.

Xiao Yun chimed in too. “Dad, listen to Uncle Lin. Don’t tell me you still want to continue to be a chef, with the same salary for years to come?”

Xiao He was moved. After all, there was no man who did not want to do something more. He was almost at the age where he could move on and pursue something bigger. But what if he tried and failed?

“How about this? Old Xiao will buy some vegetables later and ask Wang Li to come for dinner tonight. We can ask her then and figure it out after, right?” Li Ping proposed an idea.

“Oh, that’s right. I had almost forgotten why I had come over. I wanted to ask you guys to come to my house for dinner tonight to celebrate,” said Xiao He.

Lin Feiyang said, “I think my wife is right. You have to treat her to a meal. During this period of time, she has been helping to pick up your child and make you food.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Moreover, since Xiao Yun doesn’t object. Isn’t Xiao Yun sensible?”

Xiao Yun did not participate in the following topic. After all, they would eventually be able to verify whether what he said was true or not. And since Li Ping came up with a solution by calling Wang Li to come over for a meal, Lin Feiyang and Li Ping were essentially assisting him, allowing him to take a break from all the planning.

Xiao He did not understand how they were discussing business just a second ago and were now talking about his remarriage. Moreover, he was getting ideas from both sides.

“Alright, I got it. When I go to the town to buy vegetables later, I will personally invite her. That should be enough, right?” Xiao He was already having a headache from the pestering.

Sure enough, after saying that, Li Ping looked at him with an expression that said, ‘You’re a child that can be taught.’

“You’re a very smart kid,” said Lin Feiyang as he patted Xiao He’s shoulder.

“Since we’re both on shift today, let’s go together.” As Lin Feiyang said that, he got up and went to change his clothes.

At this time, Li Ping also stood up and took off the apron at her waist. She put it aside and said, “I’ll go with you guys. It’s been a long time since I went back to my mother’s house to visit her. Leave the bowls and whatnot there. I’ll wash them when I get back.

“You two can settle your own lunch today,” said Li Ping as she looked at the two little people who were playing together.

“Wait for a while. I’ll get the money for you two to eat at school.”

Xiao He immediately stopped her. “You don’t have to do that. Xiao Yun has money on him.”

“You have to take good care of Little Xi. Whatever Little Xi wants to eat, you have to get her. Do you hear me, little guy?” As he spoke, he patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder.

Xiao Yun did not even raise his head as he continued to play with Lin Xi. However, he still said, “Of course, I definitely can’t let my little wife down.”

When he said this, the adults started to laugh. Lin Xi did not know what they were laughing about, but she understood what Big Brother Xiao Yun meant by ‘little wife’ so she gave Xiao Yun a big smile.

Lin Feiyang said sourly, “It’s over. I won’t be able to hold on to my daughter once she gets older. Now, all she sees is Big Brother Xiao Yun.”

Li Ping kicked him. “I shall have no such thoughts in the house today.”

The atmosphere in the room turned very harmonious.

Not only Xiao He, but Lin Xi’s parents were also very confident in Xiao Yun. It was no problem for them to hand Lin Xi over to him.

And with that, the three of them sent Xiao Yun and Lin Xi to the kindergarten and left.

Xiao Yun was asking Lin Xi what he wanted to eat for lunch when he ran into Wang Zhi at the entrance of the hall.

Wang Zhi saw that Xiao Yun wanted to say something more, but he seemed to recall the warning Xiao Yun gave him last time, so he pouted and left quickly.

“Big Brother Xiao Yun, why did he run away when he saw us?” asked Lin Xi with a smile.

Xiao Yun patted Lin Xi’s head and said, “Let’s go. I’ll send you to the classroom later.”

“Okay.” Lin Xi nodded obediently.

“Have you thought about what to eat for lunch?” asked Xiao Yun.

Lin Xi blurted out without thinking, “Let’s eat the beef noodles over there.” After saying that, she added, “I really don’t want to eat the food in the school cafeteria.”
