"Mom, this brown sugar costs ninety cents per pound. If it's five kilograms, it's four hundred and fifty cents. It's not the New Year or the festival, why are you buying so much sugar? Mom, please stop fooling around, okay?
good?"
Boss Ning said to Ning Pengpeng with a helpless face.
"What? Ninety cents per catty?"
Ning Pengpeng's eyes were as wide as bells, almost bulging out.
Yesterday, I spent more than half a pound of brown sugar on making those pastries myself, right?
Hiss, that means that for those snacks you made, you used up at least 50 cents worth of brown sugar in one go?
In addition to those beans, if I want to buy beans to make snacks in the future, the cost will be almost a hundred dollars, not counting the wages I paid for my hard work for half a day.
In other words, only about half of the 300 copper coins I earned in my pocket was profit, which was not enough to buy two kilograms of brown sugar.
In addition, she told her family that they would be paid for their work, which would have to deduct some costs.
Ning Pengpeng originally thought that sugar was not expensive, just some beans, and the business was so prosperous just now, it would be a huge profit!
I didn’t expect that people would be willing to buy her pastries. How are her pastries so good?
It's obviously because she puts a lot of sugar in her pastries!
After all, who can afford to buy such expensive brown sugar?
Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but cover her face, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
Looking at the bright side, although the cost has become much higher, it is not without profit!
This business is actually easy to do, but the speed of making money may not be that fast, and you need to accumulate a little to make a lot.
But when she thought about the slow pace of making money, Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but wailed in her heart, when will she get her carriage?
"My dear, I didn't expect you to come to the town in person today. Are you here to buy something?"
Just when Ning Pengpeng was feeling upset, she saw the curtain inside the counter was lifted, and a woman walked out, it was Mrs. Liu's biological mother, Mrs. Liu Wang.
When she saw Mrs. Liu Wang, Ning Pengpeng straightened her back subconsciously.
"Yeah, no, I made some pastries at home yesterday and ran out of sugar, so I came to buy some."
Ning Pengpeng increased her intensity when she said she wanted to buy words to show that she was not here to fight against the autumn wind.
In Ning Pengpeng's memory, Mrs. Ning had always felt inferior to Mrs. Liu Wang.
There is nothing I can do about it, even though my eldest son, who I finally raised carefully, works as a shopkeeper for my father-in-law in the town.
Talking about it in the village, it was obvious that Boss Ning had a bright future.
In fact, only Mrs. Ning knew in her heart that this eldest son was now living in her father-in-law's family. If the Liu family had not had a son, her son would have been given to them as a son-in-law for nothing!
But when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads.
For this reason, Mrs. Ning always felt that she was inferior to Mrs. Liu and Wang.
Although the core of this body has been replaced by Ning Pengpeng, Ning Pengpeng's nerves quickly tensed up when he saw Mrs. Liu Wang.
"What the in-laws said is too unorthodox. Our two families are in-laws. If it is some gadgets, how can we earn your money? Blessed, what does your mother want to buy? If you don't have much money, don't count the money.
"
Mrs. Liu Wang always smiled and gave instructions to Boss Ning.
"this……"
Boss Ning stood in the middle awkwardly, looking around, not knowing what to say.
If it really only costs a few pennies, I can make the decision to save it for my mother. At worst, I can just use money to supplement it.
But my father-in-law's grocery store only bought about ten kilograms of this candy in total. I'm still keeping this for the guests to buy as gifts at the beginning of winter next month.
Now my mother-in-law asks for five kilograms at a time, which takes up almost half of the goods in the shop.
The purchase price of brown sugar is not cheap, even if it is purchased for my own mother, it is not appropriate!
When Mrs. Liu saw that Boss Ning had been silent for a long time, her heart suddenly thumped, and she immediately realized that she, as an in-law, might want something that was not cheap.
Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but look at the Liu Wang family with admiration. Sure enough, the Liu family's ability to open such a prosperous shop in Anzhen seemed to be inseparable from the Liu Wang family's clever mind.
"My in-laws are too polite. What I want to buy is not just some gadgets. It's hard for you to open a shop and lose money."
After all, my family is lucky enough to work for your family, and I am not the boss. It is not good to treat the things in the store as my own.
Forget it, I forgot the price of brown sugar for a moment, I don’t have much money, so I’ll just buy two kilograms!”
Ning Pengpeng finished speaking with a smile, counted one hundred and eighty copper coins from the money bag, and placed them on the counter.
Ms. Liu Wang choked. You must know that in her impression, Mrs. Ning had the temperament to not take advantage of the bastard.
Although the son-in-law works in his own shop, the daughter is married to the Ning family after all. No matter what Mrs. Ning says, she is also her daughter's mother-in-law and her son-in-law's mother-in-law.
If you can use some small favors to buy some peace and quiet, why not?
In addition, her son-in-law rushed back in a hurry a few days ago. She originally thought that Mrs. Ning was acting like a monster again, so she asked her daughter to rush to the village early the next day.
Unexpectedly, when I came back, I was told that Mrs. Ning had divided the Ning family into a family.
This was greatly beyond Mrs. Liu's expectation. After all, in her impression, Mrs. Ning's temperament was such that it would be strange not to keep her sons in her hands!
This time when she saw Mrs. Ning coming to her door, just like Mr. Ning, her first reaction was that Mrs. Ning regretted the separation of the family.
Now that I'm here, I can't help but make some jokes.
The shop they opened could not withstand Mrs. Ning rolling around on the floor.
"It's my fault. You're lucky. Please hurry up and pack the things your mother wants. In-laws, why don't you just have a light meal at home for lunch?"
Mrs. Liu is also capable of bending and stretching. Even if Ning Pengpeng talks in a subtle way, she can still smile and act like she doesn't understand anything, and politely invites people to eat.
"Forget it, the sun will come out later today and it will be hot when walking! Let's go back while it's still cool."
Ning Pengpeng admired people like Liu Wang very much.
If you were in modern times, you would definitely be a master of sales.
Since people are so polite, she naturally won't go out of her way to show off her face. After all, in the final analysis, it's just Mrs. Ning's original pride that's causing trouble!
I don't have much to do with them, I've just always been so polite.
"Mom, this brown sugar is wrapped!"
Mr. Ning carefully wrapped the brown sugar into a half-pound package, tied it firmly with hemp rope, and handed it to his mother.
"These days, my mother will come to town every day to sell cakes. Maybe I will buy some brown sugar next time, so I won't disturb your father-in-law's family! Okay, you have something to do, so don't give it away. I'll follow you
Third brother is back."
After Ning Pengpeng rejected Mr. Liu, she briefly told Mr. Ning why she came to town so early today, then turned around and left with Mr. Ning.
