Chapter 142 Tian Tian's Business Acumen

Lei Jingwu, Gu Changqin, and Gu Xiaoman waited until almost seven o'clock before they were able to have a proper conversation with Xiao Tiantian.

There was really no way around it; the popsicle seller, Tian Tian, ​​was just too serious. So serious that whenever the three of them got close, Tian Tian would frown.

These three are so unruly! I told them not to interfere with my business, why are they causing trouble?

Xiao Tian finally stretched after all the popsicles were sold out and Yao Shula and Yao Shuli helped carry the boxes of popsicles inside.

"Another pleasant day has come to an end!"

Lei Jingwu and the other two...

"Tian Tian, ​​how much money did you make today?" Lei Jingwu asked with a smile.

Xiao Tian poured all the money from the tin can onto the Eight Immortals table, and then carefully counted it.

"There are a total of sixty popsicles. The cost is three yuan, and the selling price is one mao (0.1 yuan) per popsicle. The profit should be six yuan."

Grandpa Huang next door bought two popsicles for his grandson, but he was in a bit of a rush and didn't bring any money with him. He'll make up for it tomorrow.

So, there should be... five yuan and eighty cents in this jar! That's right, five yuan and eighty cents, not a penny less." Little Tiantian quickly finished calculating today's accounts.

Watching Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian quickly write down today's revenue in a notebook, Lei Jingwu and the others exchanged glances.

He looks quite professional, like a small business owner!

"Tian Tian, ​​your cousin is here to support your business today, not to cause you trouble."

"You can't blame your cousin!" Gu Changqin quickly spoke first.

Xiao Tian glanced at him and snorted.

"Aren't you just making things worse for me? Are you going to buy all the popsicles I have left?"

It's not like I can't sell them; I can sell them.

You come here and immediately say you're going to buy all the remaining popsicles I have? Can you even finish them?

If you buy all my popsicles, then other people who want to buy popsicles from me will go to other places to buy them.

Maybe they won't buy from here anymore!

"Does that mean I've lost another customer?" Xiao Tiantian asked earnestly.

Gu Changqin's mouth dropped open...

Lei Jingwu and Gu Xiaoman also looked at Xiao Tiantian in surprise.

My goodness, it's only been a few days since I last saw him, and Little Tiantian already has his own business acumen.

If the old man of the Gu family knew this, he would be laughing in his sleep!

"Tian Tian, ​​who taught you all this? Your older sister?" Lei Jingwu felt his voice trembling.

Yao Shula immediately shook her head.

"I didn't teach them. I only taught them how to do business properly, nothing else."

These were all things they came up with by whispering to each other at night.

"These two little ones now exchange tips on selling popsicles every night before bed!" Yao Shula laughed.

Lei Jingwu quickly looked at Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian.

"Yes, my older sister said that no matter what you do, you should summarize it, whether you succeed or not."

"Keep the good things up, and quickly correct the bad things," Yao Shuli said.

"That's right, my older sister said that we need to summarize every day so that we can expand the business."

"Maybe our popsicles will be sold all over Yun County in the future!" Xiao Tiantian immediately chimed in.

Lei Jingwu, Gu Changqin, and Gu Xiaoman all expressed their support for Xiaotian's wish.

Yes, they sold popsicles all over Yun County...

"Tian Tian, ​​you earn so much... is it enough for you to buy a pair of leather shoes?" Gu Changqin asked with a smile.

Xiao Tiantian chuckled, then said two words to Gu Changqin in a very serious tone.

"vulgar!"

Gu Changqin...

"How am I vulgar? Am I wrong? What's the point of doing business if you don't make money?" Gu Changqin asked.

"That's called accumulating little by little!" Little Tiantian said in a wise and experienced tone.

“Yes, my older sister said, this is called ‘a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’!” Yao Shuli said cheerfully.

"Cousin, you don't understand. What I enjoy is the feeling of making money. Now that I can make money, it means I have the ability."

If something happens in the future, I can take my older sister and the others to escape famine. At least I'll have a skill to rely on!

Also, if I can sell popsicles today, then I can sell other things tomorrow... like sweet potatoes or something.

When I'm a little older, I might even be able to sell airplanes!

"Cousin, you've never experienced hardship, so you don't understand the benefits of doing business," Xiao Tiantian sighed, shaking his head.

Gu Changqin, who had been doing business with Lei Jingwu for several years...

Gu Changqin wanted to retort, but Lei Jingwu pulled him to the back.

"What Tian Tian said makes a lot of sense!"

Alright, I've been busy all day, it's time to prepare dinner.

"Tian Tian, ​​well done! When you grow up, you'll definitely be able to sell all sorts of things." Lei Jingwu quickly changed the subject.

Xiao Tiantian is doing very well now, which is a good sign for both the Lei family and the Gu family.

Yao Shula quickly called on everyone to set up the table and prepare for dinner.

...

Having just finished being a popsicle vendor, Xiao Tiantian immediately started flitting around Yao Shula like a busy little bee.

One moment she'd be helping Yao Shula get chopsticks, the next she'd be helping her serve a cold dish.

Yao Shula had gotten used to Xiaotian always being around her.

With Xiaotian around like a little sparrow... it seems like there are no worries.

...

Because Lei Jingwu and his group arrived suddenly and the weather was hot, Yao Shula didn't have time to prepare many dishes. Most of the dishes on the table today were cold dishes bought from the braised food window of the state-run restaurant.

On the table were a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of sliced ​​salted duck eggs, preserved eggs mixed with sesame oil, minced garlic, and diced chili peppers, stir-fried green peppers with eggs, shredded pork with preserved eggs, and some pig ears, pig liver, braised trotters, and smoked chicken.

The main dishes were a pot of rice porridge and a basket of steamed buns that had just been taken from Grandma Yao's place that afternoon.

"It's too hot to cook, let's just have something simple!" Yao Shula urged everyone to eat quickly.

In Yao Shula's courtyard, a group of people sat around a table, eating and talking at the same time.

Lei Jingwu also talked to Yao Shula about the things he brought back this time.

"I brought you five thousand yuan worth of goods this time."

They're all in the car at the guesthouse right now; I'll move them over tomorrow.

Besides some trendy clothes and accessories from Hong Kong, I also brought a lot of cassette tapes with me this time.

Oh, and you brought a lot of sunglasses too, all different styles from before.

"These are all popular in Hong Kong!" Lei Jingwu laughed.

Yao Shula nodded. "Great, it'll definitely sell well!"

These past few days, I've been frequently asked when those people who can get goods from the south will come again...

"Sunglasses? Didn't you bring a lot of glasses over last time?"

"Not everyone can wear a different pair of sunglasses every day like Sister Xiaoman!" Xiaotian, who had business experience, interjected.

Before Lei Jingwu could speak, Gu Changqin had already pulled a small pair of sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on.

"Look, this one is different from the previous ones!"

"Doesn't it give you a different feeling?" Gu Changqin looked at everyone smugly.

Xiao Tiantian looked at Gu Changqin with some surprise.

"This... looks like Blind Abing!"

Yao Shuli frowned and thought for a moment.

"A diviner has come to our door?"

Yao Shula also put down her chopsticks, thought about it seriously, and then said four words.

"Blind massage?"

Gu Changqin...
