Chapter 5： Make money to sell food.

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, Li's.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

It was the first time for Zhao 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?" Li asked in surprise.

Boss Chu and Zhao 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, Li's eyes looked up on the cart, and before Boss Chu and Zhao agreed, he lifted his hand and lifted the lid.

Seeing the fragrant rice inside, Li's eyes straightened instantly.

"Uncle, you have money, so you can buy such good rice to eat." As he said, Li stretched out his hand to touch the wooden spoon inside.

This wooden spoon was specially made by Mr. Chu by Luo Jianjia, and it was specially used to serve rice.

Zhao 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.

Luo Jianjia didn't have so many worries. She looked up and saw Li's intentions.

When Li'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, Luo Jianjia took out Li's hand, and then reached out to take it over the lid that Li'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." Luo Jianjia added.

On weekdays, Li 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 Luo Jianjia, 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."

Luo Jianjia didn't speak, but looked at Li silently like this. I thought, don’t you think that way? However, she didn't say anything.

When Li 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 Luo Jianjia. Although she had never seen Luo Jianjia, 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.

Zhao looked at his daughter-in-law and then at Li, 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.

Li looked at Zhao'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 Chu and Zhao's suddenly became extremely ugly.

"My nephew and daughter-in-law said that, my brother Leng is alive and well." Zhao said.

"Auntie, it's been two months. If we want to live well, why don't we receive a letter?" Li retorted.

Ever since the Gu 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, Li exploded their illusions.

Luo Jianjia saw that Boss Chu opened her mouth and wanted to speak. She knew that Boss Chu 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 Luo Jianjia had said this, Li 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 Zhao and Boss Chu also looked over.

After all, that thing was not done by Luo Jianjia, but by the original owner. Therefore, even if he was pierced in person, Luo Jianjia 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 Wang 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, Luo Jianjia glanced at Aunt Wang, lowered his head and pushed the cart up, calling out Zhao and Chu.

"Daddy, let's go."

After Luo Jianjia and the three of them left, Li still felt angry and muttered in the crowd: "It's not mine anymore. It's obviously that the Luo 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."

Li curled his lips and said nothing.

When approaching the dock, the always silent Boss Chu asked: "Brother Leng, wife, what you just said is true?"

Although Boss Chu 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.

Luo Jianjia turned his head to look at Boss Chu, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed Zhao's ardent gaze.

Luo Jianjia 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 Chu and Zhao 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." Luo Jianjia's tone was very positive.

Zhao's tears shed all of a sudden, as if afraid that others would see it, he lifted up his sleeve and wiped it.

Boss Chu calmed down and asked, "Kin's family said that they had inquired about the news from the palace..."

Zhao's action of wiping tears paused and looked at Luo Jianjia.

Luo Jianjia 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 Zhao Clan so that they can live well until Chu Wei Leng comes back.

If there is something unexpected between these two people before Chu Weilian returns, the unbalanced account will be counted by the male lead.

Luo Jianjia's remarks were very reasonable, and Boss Chu 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." Zhao said with some excitement.

Boss Chu'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 Luo Jianjia pushing up the car, Boss Chu and Zhao clan realized that Luo Jianjia had been pushing just now.

Boss Chu was about to take it, but Luo Jianjia refused.

"Father, it's not heavy, I'm actually very strong, I can push, let's go quickly."

Boss Chu looked at Luo Jianjia pushing extremely fast, and was very surprised. He glanced at Zhao 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 Zhao family looked at each other.

Zhao and Boss Chu are not easy people, and Luo Jianjia is not a talkative.

After everyone looked at each other a few times, Luo Jianjia 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, Luo Jianjia 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. Zhao and Boss Chu 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 Luo Jianjia's appearance, more people were curious. Someone has already walked towards this side.

Facing everyone's gaze, Luo Jianjia did not show any twist, and repeated what he said just now.

At this time, the Zhao clan also let go a little, and yelled like Luo Jianjia.

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?"

Luo Jianjia 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.

Zhao'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, Zhao's served rice, Luo Jianjia served vegetables, and Boss Chu 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."

Luo Jianjia pulled Zhao's sleeve, and Zhao 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 Chu 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.

Luo Jianjia 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.

Luo Jianjia whispered a few words in Zhao's ear.

After hearing this, Zhao cried out with Boss Chu 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, Luo Jianjia and his party went back. Unlike the depression and sorrow when they came, Boss Chu and Zhao 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.

Luo Jianjia pursed his lips.

Boss Chu and Zhao 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." Zhao said with a smile.

Luo Jianjia glanced at her and said, "If we remove the vegetable and firewood money, we actually make about five cents."

The three made five cents...Luo Jianjia began to wonder if his method was good.

Unexpectedly, Zhao was still happy: "That's a lot, much better than when we didn't make a penny."

Boss Chu also said: "Well, not a lot of one day, more than a month."

Luo Jianjia looked at Zhao's smile full of happiness, and saw Boss Chu'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.

Luo Jianjia 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."

Zhao smiled more happily, holding Luo Jianjia's hand, and said: "Yes, that's what I think."

Seeing Zhao's smile, Luo Jianjia also smiled.
