The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter

Leave it to the children? Then all the adults will be idle? Meng Chuncao felt that this was not a good idea, so she cast a questioning look at Meng Lan.

Meng Lan cleared her throat and finally told Meng Chuncao her real purpose.

"Sister Chuncao, the work in the fields is almost done now. Why don't you bring your son and daughter-in-law and follow me to the town to sell food?"

Meng Chuncao was immediately tempted when she heard Meng Lan say this, but she became worried when she thought about what she could sell.

"Lanlan, you know that my cooking is not good, and neither is my daughter-in-law's. Not to mention Shushan and Xingwang, even Xianxian and the others can't cook at all."

Meng Chuncao said with an embarrassed look on her face. The Hu Shushan she mentioned was her old man, and Hu Xingwang was her son.

"Sister Chuncao, this is not a problem. How about this, next time I make more, and when we get to the town, you go to the east side of the city and I go to the west side to sell them." Meng Lan stated her ultimate goal with a smile.

After hearing this, Meng Chuncao's eyes lit up at first, and then he said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Lanlan, I don't think this is a good idea. I'm taking advantage of you after all..."

Meng Chuncao was experiencing a struggle between her conscience and her own desires at this time. She felt that Meng Lan had finally come to her senses and was planning to live a good life, so she should help her instead of taking advantage of her misfortune.

Just when Meng Chuncao was about to refuse, Meng Lan seemed to see through her intention and quickly blocked her mouth with words.

"Why not? We can make money together, and I won't give you money for nothing. If you sell together, I can sell more and make more money! This way, we can save money to build a tile house before the weather gets cold!"

Menglan wants to build a tiled house!

After Meng Lan finished speaking, Meng Chuncao took it to heart.

Over the years, many families in the village have built tiled houses, but Meng Lan has been living in the few thatched houses that she built when she got married to He Laoliu. She has a hard life every winter. Meng Chuncao sometimes wonders if Meng Lan will freeze to death in those thatched houses.

Now that she heard that she was going to build a tiled house, Meng Chuncao really believed that Meng Lan was going to live a good life.

Since she and Meng Lan could help the He family save money to build a tiled house sooner by selling together, how could she refuse? It didn't matter how much they made, the work in the fields was almost done anyway, and they were idle at home anyway, so it was always good to help Meng Lan.

"Okay, Lanlan, I'll listen to you."

Meng Chuncao said seriously. Since this matter can help her old sister, she will do it.

Seeing that she agreed so easily and did not ask her how to divide the money, Meng Lan was surprised and touched.

"Sister Chuncao, don't worry. I won't..." treat you unfairly when it comes to money.

Meng Lan was interrupted by Meng Chuncao before she could finish her words.

"Lanlan, I will listen to you. You don't have to explain too much to me." After Meng Chuncao believed in Meng Lan, his main focus was on complete trust.

Meng Lan couldn't adapt to the speed of Meng Chuncao's attitude change for a while.

"Okay, Sister Chuncao, let's get started tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I'll prepare the same thing for you to sell as we do, 2 pounds of pork elbows, 8 pig's trotters, pounds of braised pork, boiled eggs, pounds of polished rice, and pounds of brown rice."

A pot of pork elbow weighs about ten pounds, and one portion weighs three ounces of meat. About 30 portions can be sold. Meng Lan's price is 15 cents per portion, so this pot can be sold for about 450 cents.

Her cost is 1 coin per pound of pork, plus some seasonings. This pot of 15 pounds of pork elbow meat will cost no more than coins.

Add five or six pig's trotters, one weighs five or six taels, two weigh about one catty, and six pig's trotters cost Meng Lan only three cents. Add two catties of braised pork, which costs two cents. The twenty or so braised eggs are basically free eggs from supermarkets.

The cost of Menglan is so low that it is almost nothing.

Therefore, no matter what price she gave Meng Chuncao, she would still make money. But Meng Lan knew that her price couldn't be too high, nor too low.

So she first told Meng Chuncao about her pricing so that the two families could have a unified selling price tomorrow.

This is also conducive to the healthy development of the market.

To prepare this cart of goods, Meng Lan spent about 30 wen through the supermarket system, and the market cost was about 600 wen, and it would not be lower than 500 wen. And if this cart of goods was sold, she could make about 800-900 wen.

A few days ago, if Meng Lan made less, she could sell it for more than 700 Wen, and if she made more, she could sell it for more than 900 Wen.

"Sister Chuncao, these things can be sold for eight or nine hundred coins. I can't tell you my cost, but I can give you six hundred coins, and the rest of the money will be yours."

Meng Lan thought about it and gave a price of Meng Chuncao.

Anyway, they cooked in one pot, so if there was not enough pot, she would use the Hu family's. In this way, they could sell 800 coins a day or even more, and the Hu family could earn 600 coins a day for her.

This means a lot more than before.

As for the Hu family, they can definitely do this kind of work since they can earn 200 coins a day.

After all, this job requires several people to do it. If a whole family goes out to work, they can only earn 100 coins a day, and it is estimated that they will not be able to do it for long. 200 coins is very worthwhile.

After all, Meng Chuncao is her old sister, and they can make money together.

"Lanlan, aren't you going to lose money by giving us so many things for 600 coins?" Meng Chuncao thought the same thing again. She was always worried that Meng Lan would suffer a loss.

Meng Lan said hurriedly, "Sister Chuncao, don't worry about this. I won't lose money. Since we are doing business, I certainly won't do business that loses money."

Meng Chuncao finally felt relieved when he saw Meng Lan's solemn promise.

"Okay, Lanlan, then it's settled. I'll go back and tell my son and his wife to pack up the cart, pots, bowls, and chopsticks today, and the three of us will go with you tomorrow."

"Sister Chuncao, don't leave in such a hurry. We haven't finished talking about the sugar-roasted chestnuts yet!" Seeing Meng Chuncao turning around and about to leave, Meng Lan hurriedly pulled her back.

"Ouch! My memory is so bad that I was just thinking about going back to pack my things and forgot about this!" Meng Chuncao smiled awkwardly and patted his head with his hand.

"It's not difficult to fry chestnuts. Zhaodi can do it. The only thing is that sugar is expensive. It costs 15 coins per ounce outside. One ounce of sugar can make about five catties of chestnuts. The cost of frying one catty of chestnuts is at least three coins. Fortunately, we can pick chestnuts from the mountain behind us."

Meng Chuncao listened to Meng Lan's words and nodded thoughtfully. After so many years, Meng Lan's reaction speed in terms of money was still the same as before. She was really quick in calculating the accounts.

"Leave the sugar problem to me. I have a way to buy cheaper white sugar, about 10 wen per liang. Let the children go to the mountains to pick chestnuts, and Zhaodi will help them make them after they come back. When they are done, they can be sold in the town. After they sell the candy, give me the money, and let the children divide the rest among themselves. What do you think, Sister Chuncao?"
