Chapter 70: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 70: The Boss Is the Best
All these twists and turns, sounding right but feeling off, the words were clear and straightforward, yet Xiao Wei's mind was a mess, unable to grasp the theory.
Even Wang Cuihua, who was always thinking about making money, was confused. She counted on her fingers while calculating in her mind.
After a long time of contemplation, she finally understood. Bai Lu's words made sense!
In her family, they had chestnut trees, and the chestnuts were directly harvested from the trees, without the need to incur additional procurement costs.
Two cents was equivalent to pure profit. Bai Lu earned only one cent, clearly making Wang Cuihua an extra cent!
Wang Cuihua immediately laughed happily, "Bai Lu, you're really good. I knew it; you, just like Big Brother Xiao Cheng, wouldn't forget to take care of us after getting rich."
Bai Lu smiled, "I'm good, you're good, everyone's good."
Xiao Wei had seen various smiles from Bai Lu, real, fake, angry, but never this one.
It felt like the expression of a pig boss counting money after selling a pig trotter. The difference was that Bai Lu wouldn't open her mouth wide; she always smiled gently, warm like sunlight.
It made people involuntarily believe in her words, believe that she was a good person always thinking about others.
Of course, Bai Lu was a good person, a really good person.
Instead of letting Wang Cuihua come to Xiao Cheng's house every now and then, causing rumors and gossip among neighbors, it was better to use a straightforward and legitimate reason, just like Aunt Wu, to come to Xiao Cheng's house for goods and block the mouths of gossipers.
"Hello, I'm good, everyone's good."
As for the net profit being split fifty-fifty, just like Aunt Wu Xiuyun, Bai Lu had her own considerations.
Xiao Zhongbiao had followed Xiao Cheng for eight or nine years, facing bloodshed and danger, licking blood off the blade, never betraying even when going solo later. Friendship and loyalty always remained.
Even if Wang Cuihua wasn't good, she was still Xiao Zhongbiao's wife, and currently not remarried. If she did something excessive, it would chill the hearts of Xiao Cheng's brothers.
In the previous life at this time, Xiao Cheng and others were still in Li Chengbin's father-in-law's trap, suffering torture.
Yet, not a single person kneeled and begged for mercy.
When Li Chengbin's father-in-law said, "Blame everything on Xiao Cheng, and you can leave," no one betrayed Xiao Cheng. Perhaps it was because of their strong will, unwilling to bow down.
Perhaps it was youthful arrogance, friendship transcending life and death.
Regardless of the future, at that time, they were true brothers bound by life and death.
Bai Lu could already predict that in the next few days, besides Wang Cuihua, there would be another person, with reasons not much different from Wang Cuihua, coming to ask for the sugar-fried chestnut recipe.
A fifty-fifty profit split was the most suitable method for resolving conflicts and making money, for both Wang Cuihua and "her."
Moreover, the sugar-fried chestnuts had gained popularity, and it was time to expand the distribution channels.
It was also time to officially enter the city through Aunt Wu Xiuyun's husband and negotiate higher prices.
The price of sugar-fried chestnuts in the small town would be controlled by Aunt Wu, Wang Cuihua, and "her."
Competition breeds motivation. Even if they didn't sell in the same town, she believed they would strive to achieve the highest sales volume and the highest profit share.
Women always loved to compare.
Selling more chestnuts than others, earning the most money here, they could proudly tell their family and relatives about their achievements. It was a matter of face.
Bai Lu's smile became more benevolent.
Wang Cuihua happily agreed to cooperate with Bai Lu, planning to set up the stall as soon as the sugar-fried chestnuts were ready.
No need to fry them; they could make money by selling them.
Wang Cuihua joyfully gave Bai Lu three large bundles of bamboo, each containing at least thirty or more stems.
Each bamboo was over two meters long, almost three meters. She had already cut and bundled them by the river.
Xiao Wei definitely couldn't carry such a large bundle.
So, when Wang Cuihua politely offered to help, Bai Lu readily agreed.
Wang Cuihua had to reluctantly smile and help with one bundle but ended up carrying three bundles for Bai Lu.
By the side of the vegetable garden, the small river had snails crawling in it. Snails were crawling upstream and downstream, starting to escape.
Bai Lu stood by the river, bending over to roll up her pants.
"You want to go into the river?" Xiao Wei frowned.
"Yeah, how else can I put the bamboo in the river to block the snails' escape route?" Bai Lu said helplessly, "If only I had exceptional martial arts skills. Those TV heroes just need to move their fingers, and they can knock down a bunch of wooden stakes. Dealing with small bamboo is even easier."
"What's TV?" Xiao Wei didn't understand and asked.
Bai Lu thought for a moment and explained in the simplest terms, "TV is like Li Shuixian's radio in the store, but it needs to be plugged in. However, TV not only has sound but also little people performing inside."
Xiao Wei seemed to understand vaguely and thought TV was better than Li Shuixian's radio. "I haven't seen a TV in town."
"Did you have a TV in your previous home before moving here?" Xiao Wei hadn't heard of it.
The original family was even poorer than Xiao Cheng's house. There had never been a TV in town, so how could there be one in her house?
Bai Lu racked her brains and finally came up with an excuse, "My parents worked in a brick factory. The factory would have a gathering during holidays, and sometimes the boss would invite the employees to a big restaurant in the city. Once, when my mom took me there, I saw it in the restaurant, and the boss said it was a TV."
Xiao Wei also had classmates whose parents worked in brick factories, and he had heard about gatherings in the city.
He hadn't heard about the TV, maybe because he wasn't there when his classmates mentioned it.
Without much thought, Xiao Wei believed Bai Lu's words and asked, "Is the hero better than Big Brother?"
Bai Lu's mind twitched slightly as she entered the comparison of power levels.
In terms of martial arts, the hero was definitely better.
In terms of guns, the boss shot a head with one shot.
Bai Lu nodded, solemnly revealing the truth, "The hero is not as good as your brother; your brother is the best!"
As soon as she finished speaking, steady and powerful footsteps came from behind.
And the low laughter of a man coming closer.
The clear wind blew, causing a chestnut leaf to fall on Bai Lu's head, making her want to find a place to hide.
But it seemed more appropriate to jump into the river in front of her.
"What are you doing?"
The cool voice instantly stopped the crazy thoughts and the pair of slender white legs that seemed eager to try.
Xiao Cheng's gaze shifted from Bai Lu's legs, returning to the bamboo beside him, and then turning to the transparent figure of Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei immediately explained, "The bamboo needs to be put into the river. All the snails brought from the countryside have been released into the river; if the bamboo is not put in, they will run away."
Facing the man's suspicious gaze, Bai Lu quickly explained with a smile, "Aunties picked a lot of snails, and we can't eat them all in one day. We released the snails into the river to raise them. We can eat them whenever we want in the future."
Not sure which sentence pleased Xiao Cheng, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and began to roll up his pants.
"What are you doing?" Bai Lu was a bit confused.
Did the big boss want to personally go into the river to get bamboo?
