"Mom! Mom! How were the sales today? Are they all sold out? How much did you make?"
As soon as she entered the house, Shen Baolan didn't even have time to change her shoes, so she couldn't wait to ask Ma Sufen, who was sitting in the living room peeling potatoes.
Ma Sufen raised her eyelids and looked at her, with a face like a donkey's, "You're making a lot of money, I've been selling it all day and not even sold a single one."
Shen Baolan didn't believe it at all and thought Ma Sufen was joking with her.
"Mom, don't joke with me. The cakes I make are delicious and cheap. Why can't I sell them? It's not enough! Tell me the truth. How much money did you make? Do you have this number? "
Shen Baolan made a five sign.
She is not greedy, she is satisfied if she can earn five yuan.
No matter how bad it is, it would be nice to make two or three dollars.
Ma Sufen rolled her eyes, "It's in the kitchen cabinet, go check it out for yourself!"
Shen Baolan ran into the kitchen with joy and opened the cabinet door. She fully expected that there would be a pile of money inside. As a result, the upper and lower floors of the kitchen cabinet were full of chicken cakes and Double Ninth Festival cakes she had made.
Shen Baolan was stunned for several seconds before she realized that her mother-in-law was not joking with her, and she really didn't sell it at all.
"Mom, did you really go downstairs to set up a stall today?"
She suspected that her mother-in-law was simply too embarrassed to go out and set up a stall.
Ma Sufen shouted angrily and said that she went downstairs to set up a stall early in the morning, and she did not close the stall until 4pm when she had to pick up her grandson from school. There was not a single customer.
Shen Baolan did not believe in evil and questioned whether Ma Sufen was not enthusiastic enough, had a bad attitude, or did not let people taste it.
In short, she decided that it was Ma Sufen's fault that the things couldn't be sold, and it was definitely not that her things were bad.
When she went to bed at night, Shen Baolan complained to her husband about this matter dissatisfied. She felt that Ma Sufen was holding her back and could not even set up a stall.
Zhou Shuhuan replied directly to her, "Then try it yourself."
"Just give it a try, I'll definitely sell it if I display it myself!"
The next day, Shen Baolan called her colleagues who worked in the canteen to change shifts and took a day off to prepare for the stall business.
When Shen Mingzhu had breakfast and sent Pei Ziheng to kindergarten, Shen Baolan's stall was already busy.
Shen Mingzhu could tell at a glance that the products sold at Shen Baolan's stall were the same batch as those sold by Ma Sufen yesterday.
In this weather, there is no problem if the cakes are stored for a day or two. But maybe the sealing work was not done well. The skin of the chicken cakes was a little black, and the Double Ninth Cake was also dry. It looked stale and unappetizing.
"They sell chicken cakes. The fragrant and sweet chicken cakes only cost two yuan and thirty cents a pound..."
Even after walking far away, I can still hear Shen Baolan's loud trumpet-like voice.
Several mothers who were close to Shen Mingzhu made fun of Shen Baolan with Shen Mingzhu, saying that Shen Baolan was learning from Shen Mingzhu, but unfortunately she didn't have Shen Mingzhu's skills and skills. After talking, they asked Shen Mingzhu what she was busy with recently. , why don’t you set up a stall?
Shen Mingzhu had nothing to hide. She bluntly said that she had been reading at home recently and wanted to improve her cultural level. Several mothers praised her for being ambitious, but Shen Mingzhu smiled and did not take it seriously.
Until the afternoon, Shen Mingzhu picked up Pei Ziheng from school, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and returned to the family courtyard. Shen Baolan's stall was still there.
Some of the chicken cakes were sold, but the portion size seemed a bit smaller, and the Double Ninth Festival cake was missing a gap. It looked like someone took a bite but didn't buy it.
Shen Mingzhu just glanced at it casually, but when it fell into Shen Baolan's eyes, she decided that Shen Baolan was making fun of her, and angrily stopped in front of Shen Mingzhu.
"why are you laughing?"
Shen Mingzhu was confused, "Which of your eyes saw me smiling?"
"I saw it! You just laughed at me!"
Shen Baolan looked angry, with a hint of grievance in her tone.
Not only was she aggrieved, but she also couldn't figure out why Shen Mingzhu could make money by making the same chicken cake, but she couldn't. Unfortunately, she even spent twenty yuan to go out and learn from the chicken cake master. The craftsmanship.
The more Shen Baolan thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She yelled at Shen Mingzhu, "What right do you have to laugh at me? Last time you set up a stall, you didn't even sell a single mooncake. You didn't rely on my man to take care of your business. How could I?" I'm better than you, I sold at least two kilograms of chicken cakes."
Shen Mingzhu was speechless. Her mother opened the door for Wuyu and he arrived home.
She just passed by and took a look, eldest sister!
So what if she smiles? She can't smile yet?
However, what was even more speechless was still to come. Shen Baolan was holding Shen Mingzhu hard to prevent her from leaving, saying that Zhou Shuhuan bought her moon cakes last time as a courtesy, and this time Shen Mingzhu also wanted to buy her Double Ninth Cake.
Shen Mingzhu was also shocked by Shen Baolan's shamelessness, "You still have the nerve to talk about moon cakes. Are you afraid that you have forgotten that you asked me to refund the money that day?"
"If you hadn't cheated my man first, would I have asked you to return it?"
Shen Mingzhu has finally seen what it means to beat someone backwards.
"The eggs I sell are cheap and delicious. If you buy two kilograms back, I guarantee you won't suffer any loss."
She still bought two kilograms. She is so stupid that she would buy this thing that neither looks good nor tastes good. She wouldn’t even give it to her for free.
"I don't buy it."
"No, you have to buy it."
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she shouted behind Shen Baolan, "Zhou Shuhuan, come and take care of your wife!"
Shen Baolan subconsciously turned around, but found that there was no one behind her. Then she realized that Shen Mingzhu had tricked her, but when she turned around, Shen Mingzhu had already pulled Pei Ziheng away and ran away, making her stomp her feet in anger.
It was completely dark before Shen Baolan packed up the stall and went home.
As soon as they entered the door, mother-in-law Ma Sufen came over with a curled lips, "Hey, our capable wife is back. How much did you sell from morning to dusk?"
When she saw that there were still a lot of chicken cakes left, and the Double Ninth Festival cake was intact and unsold, Ma Sufen immediately mocked her rudely.
"I know how capable you are. You have the ability to make these things, but you sell them. It's really a waste of money to spend so much money on buying books for you. I see you, don't buy porcelain without diamonds. live."
Shen Baolan was already in a panic, but when Ma Sufen scolded her like this, she couldn't hold back her tears immediately.
"It doesn't matter if others laugh at me, even you, Mom, laugh at me. When I said I wanted to buy books and learn some crafts, didn't I get your consent? Now that the business has not been completed, why are you blaming me alone? I am not here for this family. , I want to make more money so that you can live a good life, what’s wrong with me, wuwuwu..."
Ma Sufen didn't want to listen to her, "You still have the nerve to cry. How much money have you spent during this period of time? You still have the nerve to boast that you are better than Pei Yang's wife. I think you are not even half as good as others." Worse than anything else!"
Zhou Quanxiong couldn't help but criticize Shen Baolan, "Just take care of your family and take good care of Xiaohao from now on. It's not your turn to worry about making money because it's men."
After being scolded by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shen Baolan felt very sad and wronged at first, but she suddenly understood.
The reason why Shen Mingzhu makes money is because of her eldest sister Pei Wenping.
Although she doesn't have a powerful eldest sister like Pei Wenping, she can rely on men!
She did everything possible to marry into the Zhou family, wasn't it just so that Zhou Shuhuan could prosper in the future and let her live a good life?
She just needs to firmly hold her position as the wife of the Zhou family and wait for her future happiness. Why should she compete with Shen Mingzhu, who is destined to be a widow?
