She did not expect the teachers and students in the school to also like Gu Li’s braised food!
Song Yao was overjoyed. When she returned home, she immediately told Gu Li the good news.
“Alright, I’ll make a few more pots! You can send them to the school tomorrow!” Because they were made for the children to eat, Gu Li specially chose a few large eggs. Even the raw materials for the braised meat were made with high-quality tenderloin meat and she boiled a large pot.
Song Yao had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she told Gu Li and Sing Ping about what happened the day.
“You want to deliver milk to the school?” Gu Li was a little surprised to hear this.
Although milk was indeed nutritious, her family did not raise cows. Where could she get milk for a while?
“Is the wheat milk essence okay? It’s delicious and nutritious!”
Song Yao frowned when she heard Gu Li’s words. “Mom, the cost of wheat milk essence is too high, and it’s very sweet. Milk is much more nutritious than wheat milk essence.”
“That’s true. Where do you want us to get milk?” Gu Li was in a dilemma.
“How can they drink wheat milk essence? The children have to drink more milk! Besides, didn’t Yao say that she wanted milk?” Song Ping, who was silent at the side, said calmly, “Speaking of milk, I think your Uncle Liu used to know a brother who worked on the ranch. He raised cows. Perhaps you can ask him if he still raises cows now.”
“Liu Mu’s friend?” Gu Li frowned. “Let your father go with you. His wife is not easy to deal with. If our Yao goes over, this woman might say something.”
Song Ping silently took a puff of his tobacco. “That was in the past. She’s not like this anymore. I heard from your Uncle Liu that your aunt’s factory’s profits weren’t good and she was fired”
“When was this?”
Gu Li was a little surprised when she heard this. This was too sudden. Didn’t they say that workers had a cradle-to-grave job? Why was she laid off just like that?
“It happened a few days ago,” Song Ping said softly. “Yao, I’m going back to the village to get the eggs later. I can’t accompany you to Uncle Liu’s house. If you see your aunt, speak politely.”
Song Yao nodded. “Don’t worry, Dad.”
After lunch in the afternoon, Song Yao brought two jars of wheat milk essence to Liu Mu’s house.
Wang Hong was still washing clothes in the courtyard. When she saw Song Yao enter, she immediately put down the clothes in her hand with a smile. “Yao, why are you here?”
Ever since Song Yao planned to take the college entrance examination, Wang Hong found Song Yao more and more pleasing to the eye! Song Yao stood at the door and asked, “Is Uncle Liu home?”
Wang Hong called Song Yao in. “Your Uncle Liu’s factory is working overtime today. He won’t be back until tomorrow. What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing important.” Song Yao placed the wheat milk essence on the table. “I want to send some milk to the school, but I don’t raise cows at home. I remember that Uncle Liu has a friend who works at the ranch, so I wanted to come over and ask.”
“You’re talking about this?” Wang Hong smiled. “Then just tell me. Why did you bring something over? Wait for me. I’ll call him and ask him to bring you milk tomorrow morning! ”
Song Yao said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Aunt. It’s just that I want more milk this time. I want at least 50 kilograms, and I want it every day.”
“That much?” Wang Hong clapped her hands. “That’s a big business. It’s much easier than going to work!”
Speaking of this, Wang Hong began to feel envious.
She used to be an accountant in the factory. Although she did not earn much, it was enough for her daily expenses. Moreover, she received additional subsidies every month. It was an honor to tell others!
However, a few days ago, their factory’s benefits were not good. They directly fired a group of old employees, including her and another big sister!
That big sister was already in her fifties. After she was laid off, she could focus on taking care of her grandson at home.
But she was different. She was only in her forties and had two sons waiting for her to get the betrothal money. She could not be laid off at this time!
However, she had found a lot of jobs these few days. Not only was her salary low, but she also did not take leave on weekends!
Sometimes, she really felt that it was better to do business like Song Yao. Although it was not dignified to say it out loud, she would earn a lot.
She got up and dialed back. After giving the other party a simple explanation, she negotiated at a price of 1.50 yuan per catty.
Song Yao also said that as long as the people from the ranch brought the milk over, she would pay on the spot!
