Chapter 94: Eye contact (Ah, No)
The Guan family looked at her stiffly. They did not know what to say.
Earning more than three hundred copper coins a day was not considered a lot?
Ye Lulu continued, “But don’t be happy too soon. This is the full amount. We still have to deduct our capital. Although most of the ingredients were from our family and we didn’t need to spend money, we still have other capital.”
Guan Chibei’s wild boar was not exchanged for nothing.
Mother Rong calculated and said, “Chibei’s wild boar was sold for two taels of silver, while the pots cost one and a half taels. Just the big pot alone cost eight coins. The flat base pot cost three coins, and the two small pots cost four coins. The pork and pig intestines cost one and a half coins. The white rice, glutinous rice, and white flour cost three and a half coins. The chickens and vegetables from the vegetable fields at home are not included. The capital is two taels of silver.”
Oh.
Everyone: “…”
Oh…
Their excitement from before was all gone. So it turned out that they had such huge capital. Calculating the money they had earned today, it was not enough to make up for the capital yet!
When Ye Lulu saw that the faces of the Guan family froze again, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Guan Chibei looked at her with a deep gaze.
She looked very childish and probably thought that it was fun.
Didn’t she propose to do this business?! She was still smiling.
The Guan family was at a loss for words. They had indeed earned a lot from selling food today, but now, it seemed like they didn’t earn any at all. “Ah…”
Eldest Brother Guan straightened his back and did not say anything. His face was filled with indescribable emotions.
It was very awkward.
After a moment, the atmosphere became lively again. Mother Rong said, “It can be said that we haven’t gotten back our capital yet. However, the capital was exchanged from Chibei’s wild boar. We used it to do business, so no matter what, the money we earned today is a lot. Our business must continue. When we earn our capital back, it will be time to earn profits It’s still a good thing!”
Ye Lulu nodded and looked at Mother Rong in agreement. She deliberately didn’t say anything because she wanted to see the Guan family’s attitude and opinions.
If Mother Rong could think that way, there was a possibility that the Guan family’s business could continue.
Eldest Brother Guan and the others sucked in a breath and nodded with profound expressions. As the eldest son in the family, Eldest Brother Guan said, “Yes, let’s continue with this business. We brothers won’t go to the city to do manual labor anymore. In the future, we’ll go to the docks with Mother every day.”
The men from the Guan family were looking at the process of setting up the stall today. Could they really not do manual labor anymore and just stay at home to help?
From the looks of it, Eldest Brother Guan and the rest felt that they could choose to stay at home or go out with their family to set up the stall.
This was also Eldest Brother Guan’s and the rest’s recognition of this stall.
Father Guan had always been an open-minded person. He waved his hands and nodded. “Since you think we can do it, then let’s do this business in the future. Mother Rong, you’re a foodie, so I’ll leave the business to you. It’s just that… let me go to the docks to set up the stall as well. I want to see what the situation is like too.”
Oh my.
Ye Lulu sat on the bed and her body trembled. She instinctively looked up at Guan Chibei.
What did she hear?! Father Guan was calling Mother Rong ‘Mother Rong’. It was actually Mother Rong!
Oh my, were people of Father Guan’s age and seniority still so loving?
Eh? She had experienced Father Guan’s and Mother Rong’s public display of affection for the second time in a day. No way.
Guan Chibei received her gaze and knew what Ye Lulu was thinking. He looked back at her.
