Chapter 141 Don't Delay My Business
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian's popsicle stand opened smoothly and achieved impressive results on the first day.
"Forty-two popsicles cost only two yuan to make; two of them were given to us by the uncle from the popsicle factory."
"The cost was two yuan, and here we have... four yuan and twenty cents. We made two yuan and twenty cents." Yao Shuli reported the results to Yao Shula.
"There's still four cents left for the eldest sister!" Little Tiantian reminded her from the side.
Yao Shuli nodded quickly.
"There's still four cents left, which is what our eldest sister used for our opening. Eldest sister, all the money we earned is for you!" Yao Shuli only kept two yuan, and stuffed the rest of the money into Yao Shula's hand.
Yao Shula quickly waved her hand.
"Keep the money you earn for yourselves. It's your hard-earned money. After you stop selling popsicles, think about what to buy for your uncle and grandma."
"My sister doesn't want your money."
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian exchanged a glance and nodded.
Yes, I've only earned a little over two yuan so far, which isn't enough!
When they sell more popsicles, I'll definitely buy things for my eldest sister, second sister, uncle, and grandmothers.
Even if you give them money, they won't buy it!
Just like the eldest sister, she always buys them all sorts of things, makes clothes and shoes, while she herself is still wearing last year's clothes, the flowers on them have faded.
The two new sets were made by my grandma when I visited her house last Dragon Boat Festival.
The older sister is so pitiful...
If Yao Shula knew what the two little ones were thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes in exasperation.
She's trying to build up her public image, isn't she?!
Which parent would dress themselves up in bright and colorful clothes?
In other people's eyes, she is just a hard-working role model who only cares about her younger siblings and never has her own...
She can't afford to ruin her public image.
...
After the family finished calculating the bills, Yao Shula immediately urged Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian to wash their hands, making sure they took the soap and washed them thoroughly...
After a busy day, the two brothers finally lay down in bed again.
"Tian Tian, you've worked hard today, selling popsicles outside all afternoon!" Yao Shuli began to summarize.
"It's not hard work! I'm happier than anyone else to see the popsicles sold out."
Shuli, you've worked hard too! You had to go and buy the popsicles wholesale, that must have been very tiring for you!
However, we don't have enough popsicles to sell today, so you can buy twenty more tomorrow.
"Many people came to ask about it in the evening!" Xiao Tiantian also summarized in a timely manner.
Yao Shuli nodded, indicating that she understood.
He originally thought that forty popsicles could be sold until evening, when people would come out to cool off, which would be a good time to sell popsicles.
Who knew Xiao Tiantian was so amazing? She sold out of popsicles by early evening!
"Okay, I'll buy more tomorrow."
I study for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.
This morning I spent the whole morning helping my sister stack coal briquettes, which took up a little of my time.
"I'll try to finish my studies by 3 PM tomorrow, and then we can sell popsicles together," Yao Shuli reiterated.
Xiao Tiantian immediately agreed.
In the afternoon, he sat there from before 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., not daring to leave for even a moment.
They were afraid that they wouldn't be there when others came to buy popsicles.
Even when he needed to urinate, he had to ask his older sister to watch him, and he ran all the way to the public restroom...
"Okay, then I can relax a little."
"Shulige, time to sleep. Tomorrow will be a good start!" Xiaotian said, then hugged the blanket and closed her eyes to sleep.
Yao Shuli nodded and turned around to pull the light cord.
However, Yao Shuli did not fall asleep so quickly.
His mind was filled with thoughts of today's popsicle bills...
He sold popsicles that cost five cents for ten cents, and earned more than two dollars a day...
Actually, it's not difficult at all. The popsicle factory only wholesales, not retails. If ordinary people want to eat them, they can only buy them from small shops or supply and marketing cooperatives...
Do you all know about the price difference? Of course you do!
Doing business really makes money!
If selling popsicles is this profitable, how much more so is selling other things? No wonder Brother Lei Jingwu and Brother Gu Changqin make such a fortune selling the goods they brought from the south in Yun County!
Isn't doing business simply about taking something cheap in one place and selling it in another?
We're only selling popsicles now, but we can sell other things later...
When he grows up and his older sister lets him go out, he must do a good job in business and make lots and lots of money!
In that case, the eldest sister won't have to work so hard. He'll make sure everyone has endless money to spend!
...
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian's popsicle stand is doing very well.
After successfully selling forty popsicles on the first day, they actually sold out sixty popsicles on the second day as well.
On the third day, all sixty popsicles were sold out...
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were overjoyed!
They genuinely never imagined that doing business could be so successful, or that such a small popsicle business could be so profitable!
The two decided to keep the popsicle business going, at least until this summer.
...
That day, Yao Shuli brought back the sixty popsicles he had bought wholesale.
As before, Xiao Tiantian put on his straw hat, carried the tin can containing money, and brought his water bottle, and began another day of selling popsicles.
A car was parked not far from Xiaotiantian, and the three people inside all looked incredulous.
Lei Jingwu was a little surprised. Hadn't he just taken a stroll around the surrounding counties and cities?
In just a few days, Yao Shula actually managed to set up another business with Xiao Tiantian.
Gu Changqin was also astonished.
What did he see? Gu Jiabao's grandson was selling popsicles, and they were selling popsicles for one cent each!
If the rest of the Gu family knew this, wouldn't they all be shocked?
Gu Xiaoman was surprised at first, and then she started to wonder if the popsicle was delicious.
If it didn't taste good, how could it sell so well every day?
And every time he sold a popsicle, he would smile so sincerely at the customer every day...
That smile... Tian Tian has never smiled at them like that before.
"Lei Jingwu, Yao Shula's house... could it have been robbed?"
Otherwise, how could this be…” Gu Changqin looked at Lei Jingwu.
Lei Jingwu had already opened the car door and gotten out.
"Why don't we just ask them what happened and find out..."
Xiao Tiantian sold two more popsicles. He put the two-cent bill into the tin can, then looked down and counted the remaining popsicles...
“Tian Tian!” Lei Jingwu, along with Gu Changqing and Gu Xiaoman, stood in front of Tian Tian.
Little Tiantian's mind was full of popsicles. When she saw someone coming, she assumed they were there to buy popsicles again and immediately put on a sweet smile.
"Big brother wants to buy..."
"Big brother? What brings you here?" Xiao Tiantian was both happy and surprised.
Lei Jingwu, Gu Changqin, and Gu Xiaoman all squatted down.
"What are you doing, Tiantian?" Gu Changqin asked with a smile.
"Can't you see? We're selling popsicles!" Xiao Tiantian said earnestly.
"Alright, I'll take care of it all!" Gu Changqin waved his hand.
Xiao Tiantian didn't seem happy at all. He rolled his eyes at Gu Changqing and pushed all three of them aside.
"Alright, stop causing trouble and interrupting my business! Go wait over there!"
After saying that, Xiao Tiantian smiled broadly at a couple passing by.
"Did the big brother buy the big sister an ice pop again? The big brother is so kind!"
The three people who were ignored...
