498. The poor baby is headed early (2)

The boxes under the tent were stacked up, and Li Du went up and looked at them, asking, "What are these cookies that the children want to sell?"

Mesa's mother smiled and said, "Yes, this is the first batch. We are working hard to get more cookies."

As she said that, she opened the box and took out a pack of cookies and handed them to him, signaling him to taste it.

The packaging is an ordinary cookie cookie. Li Du took a bite and it tasted very good. Because it was just baked, it was fragrant and crispy.

The taste of the cookies is mint, and it has a cool and sweet feeling, which is even better than the cookies he bought in the supermarket.

Li Du said: "It's delicious, no wonder you are confident of producing so many. Come on, Mesa's mother, buy me two big boxes, well, no, four big boxes."

The black woman's eyes curled up and she said, "You can take back two large boxes first. The baked ones are delicious. Come and get them at any time if you want to eat them later. Hans's child also likes them."

Li Du asked: "How much?"

Mesa's mother waved her hand and said, "What money do you want? It's what mom baked it for the children."

After hearing what she said, Li Du was embarrassed to be polite again.

Several children ran back, pushed a small car with sweat on their heads and said, "Mom Mesa, we'll sell it and install a new one."

The weather is already cooler, but the temperature is still very high at noon, and these children are hot and tired when pushing the cart by hand.

In this way, Li Du was sure and said, "Mom Mesa, I can't eat your biscuits for nothing. Let's do this. Today I'll help you. I'm the driver of the young men and girls, and the reward is cookies."

Mesa's mother asked, "Aren't you busy today?"

Li Du said: "Nothing happened."

Hearing this, the children were happy first. They were not happy that they had a car to deliver biscuits, but: "Wow, can we work with Tiger Cat?"

"Take Tiger Cat to go to the door for sale, and you will definitely sell more biscuits!"

"It's called Ah Meow, it's a good partner of Brother Hans."

"And the crisp noodles, I know it!"

Li Du smiled and opened the car door, hugged Ao, and said, "There is another new friend, his name is Ao, he is a well-behaved child."

Mesa's mother glanced at it and said, "Oh, where did you get a wolf cub?"

Li Du asked in surprise: "How did you see it?"

Mesa's mother smiled and said, "My dad used to be a hunter in Tucson, protecting farms and ranches. They often hunt wolves. I followed him to see them when I was a child, so of course I met them."

As she said that, she showed a remembrance expression: "Time is so fast. There were many wolves at that time, and it was very common. When we talked about them, we were afraid and hated. Now, they all became protected animals."

The children come back and have to take a break, but not just rest, they also have to help with their work.

There is an empty house in the welfare home, which was temporarily used as a bakery, with two large ovens inside, and some elderly people are busy making biscuits.

Eggs, milk, butter, flour and other ingredients are combined together, some people weigh, some people adjust the proportion, some people stir, some people knead the dough, and people from the welfare home form a production line.

The kneaded dough will be engraved into cookies of different shapes with a template, and then baked in an oven. After baking, it will be sorted. There is also a packaging machine here, and finally the packaging will be formed.

The children were responsible for packaging. They were busy and sweating profusely, but they were in good spirits, talking and laughing, and having fun in pain.

Li Du asked, "Is that the way I rest?"

Mesa's mother smiled helplessly: "Yes, I know, the kids are very tired like this, but the Scouts don't have much time to sell biscuits, so we have to seize this opportunity."

The activities of the Boy Scouts selling biscuits are not carried out at any time. If there is no activity, commercial activities are not allowed in their name.

This is to prevent children from being squeezed out of labor and avoid affecting their growth and studies. After all, for most children, this activity is just for fun.

But for children in welfare homes, this is a good opportunity to make money to support themselves.

Looking at the children who were busy in front of the packaging machine, Li Du suddenly thought of herself when she was a teenager.

At that time, he went to school and had a lot of pressure to study, so he learned mathematics for a while and then Chinese for a while. This way, he would take a break when he studied alternately.

Children are similar, and they use labor as rest as possible, which is very tiring.

However, with Li Du's help, they were always more relaxed.

He put boxes of biscuits onto the car, packed a total of 100 small boxes, and then helped to pull them to communities, squares, shops and other places with high traffic.

When she was about to leave, the heroic little girl Sally climbed into the car and looked at it, shook her head and said, "It's not enough, brother, I have to put another fifty boxes!"

Li Du said in surprise: "So much?"

"Each of us can sell forty or fifty boxes of cookies every day." The little boy Kanter said proudly.

Li Du exclaimed: "It's so amazing."

Children from poor families have long been in power. They must be powerful and must make money. Otherwise, it will be difficult for welfare homes to operate just by relying on government funding and people's donations.

For ordinary boy scout children, their promotional goal may be about one hundred boxes at a time, and holding an event is one week.

But the children in the welfare home cannot do it, they have to sell more biscuits.

However, they are more motivated than ordinary children, because according to the rules of the Boy Scouts, ordinary children sell biscuits to make money to the army, and children in welfare homes can keep them.

Mesa's mother is a great black woman. She not only adopts these children, but also ensures that they grow up healthily.

This health is not only about physical health, but also about mental health.

The children who were with Li Du did not feel tired, but instead felt happy after getting his help.

Li Du brought pickup trucks as a means of transportation and brought more small carts so that they didn't have to share a car with a few people.

In the car, several children were discussing sales skills together enthusiastically.

After listening to their chat, Li Du learned that the Boy Scout Training Camp invited sales experts to teach them how to sell cookies.

These children are easy to learn. In addition to applying what they have learned in class, they also combine practice to summarize experiences and communicate and summarize with each other.

When they drove to a square, Li Du wanted to put down his child. They saw a few little scouts pushing a cart and moving around, and they all had surveillance people around.

In this way, he suddenly noticed something and said, "You didn't have a surveillance person before, come out by yourself? Isn't this very dangerous?!"

In Li Du’s opinion, the security of the United States is far worse than that of China. Even in China, parents of children dare not let them go to their door-to-door sales, let alone the United States?
