1290 Earning Money Wholeheartedly

“Alright! Let’s go back! I’ll teach you how to make popcorn!” Li Gui said happily.

Li Gui suddenly thought about asking Qiao Mei to try making popsicles. They could sell them at the same price and even come up with different types of flavors. She felt that it would also be a booming business.

With Qian’e helping out, they made 160 pounds of popcorn in one afternoon. This was an unprecedented amount. When Zhao Fei came to collect the goods tomorrow, he would definitely be overjoyed. Each portion of popcorn represented money to him.

After Qian’e started working hard to earn money, she seemed to have become Li Gui’s twin. It was as if Li Gui had found a confidant and the two of them busied themselves with earning money every day.

Xu Kang took care of everything at home. Zhang Wei and the other children were under the care of the new teacher. Feng Hua took care of Qiao Mei’s two babies.

Everything was arranged in a very orderly manner. Li Gui only needed to devote herself to her own career and her business kept getting better and better.

Li Gui’s house had six rooms and she never knew what to do with the last room. Now, she finally had a good idea. Li Gui decided to use that room as a study. Although she did not do it up as nicely as the one in Qiao Mei’s house, it still looked quite decent.

She had specially found a famous carpenter living in the alley to fill an entire wall with bookcases. Each child’s bedroom was not very big. When they went to school in the future, they would definitely have many books. At that time, they could put their lesser used books in the study. The children could also put their storybooks and novels in the study and take turns reading them.

She intended to specially use the room to do her accounts every day and store the ledger books. She had watched television dramas where all the big bosses had their own offices. This could be considered her office.

“35 dollars plus 12 dollars... plus... and this is 11 dollars...” Li Gui did her best to do the accounts in the study.

She had specially bought a thick notebook to keep track of the accounts. Qiao Mei had even helped her buy a lot of paper from the paper printing factory. She could use one piece a day and then bind it at the end of every month. This way, she would not waste paper and could write freely.

Early the next morning, Qian’e ran into Li Gui’s courtyard while panting. Her anxious manner frightened Li Gui a lot and she thought that something big had happened.

“What’s wrong, Xiao’e? What happened?” Li Gui said worriedly.

“Auntie, there’s a person called Zhao Fei at the entrance of the corn courtyard house. He said that he’s here to collect the goods. I don’t know if I should let him in, so I quickly come to look for you,” Qian’e said.

“Oh my! My brain! I actually forgot about this important matter! Come, let me introduce him to you!” Li Gui grabbed Qian’e and went to the corn courtyard house.

Zhao Fei was someone they trusted very much now and they only allowed Zhao Fei to come alone to collect the goods. The popcorn was not heavy although it took up a lot of space. There was no need for many people to help with transportation.

Besides, the more the number of people who were involved, the more dangerous it would be. What if someone coveted the nice things in Qiao Mei’s house? One still must always be wary of others.

“Xiao Fei! There’s a lot today! You have to work harder!” Li Gui said with a smile.

“Auntie, aren’t you looking down on me? I still think we’re not selling enough! Bring out all the goods you have! I can surely sell them all!” Zhao Fei said as he patted his chest confidently.

Coincidentally, Huang Xu was helping out in the backyard. It did not take him and Zhao Fei long to load the 160 pounds of popcorn into the van together.

“This is Zhao Fei. He helps us to sell the goods.” After Li Gui spoke to Qian’e, she pulled Qian’e in front of Zhao Fei and continued, “Xiao Fei, this is your Sister Qian’e. From now on, she will be the one in charge of all our business with you. I’m getting old and can’t do so much anymore. Don’t worry, we’re all family! She’s definitely reliable!” n0veLuSb.c0m

“Then I hope that Brother Fei will take good care of me in the future,” Qian’e said politely.
