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

However, all the stoves in the house were occupied by Meng Lan, who was stewing pork elbows and trotters. Fortunately, the stove at the Hu family next door was still idle.

So early the next morning, the three sisters of the He family went to the Hu family's kitchen and started making sugar-roasted chestnuts.

This shocked the four children of the Hu family. They didn't expect that the three of them were so powerful and had this ability.

He Zhaodi and He Pandi worked well together, and He Lianlian couldn't help much for a while, and was just standing there in the way. She took Hu Xianxian and her three brothers with her, and took advantage of this time to fold boxes with the remaining oil paper.

"Sister Xianxian, my grandma said that it costs two cents of sugar to fry a pound of chestnuts, and five pieces of oil paper cost one cent. What do you think is a reasonable price for a pound?"

He Zhaodi was frying chestnuts in her hands when she suddenly remembered what Meng Lan had told her yesterday. She turned around and started chatting with Hu Xianxian.

He Pandi and He Lian were both her sisters, and if she asked them, the Hu family might not be happy. Hu Xianxian's three brothers all listened to her, so He Zhaodi just thought about it for a moment and decided to ask Hu Xianxian.

She didn't expect Hu Xianxian to give her a price, she just treated it as a way to start a discussion.

Yesterday they were busy picking chestnuts from the mountains, shelling them, opening them, roasting them, and folding paper boxes. They forgot to discuss the price.

Hu Xianxian counted on her fingers.

"One, two, three, four, five, six... We sell it for six cents a pound, Sister Zhaodi!"

Six coins per pound? Isn't that too expensive? After all, the cost of one pound is the two coins of sugar. The chestnuts are free, they are all picked from the mountains, and the oil paper is not expensive. Isn't it a bit unscrupulous to sell them at this price?

He Zhaodi hesitated.

She had never sold anything before and felt embarrassed to make money from others. Now she had to make so much money from one pound of goods, which made her even more embarrassed.

He Pandyi seemed to notice the hesitation on He Zhaodi's face. She nudged the elder sister beside her with her elbow and turned to look at Hu Xianxian again.

"Sister Xianxian, I think six coins per pound is a reasonable price."

If she wasn't worried that she might not be able to sell it if she sold it at a higher price, He Pandi would even want to sell it at a higher price. Earning half of the profit from one kilogram is her minimum standard. If it's lower, she will have no motivation to work.

After all, she comes out to sell things to make money. If she doesn't make money, then why is she busy? She might as well lie down at home, save some energy, and eat less.

When He Zhaodi heard her second sister say this, she immediately agreed to the price, lowered her head and concentrated on frying chestnuts without saying anything else.

The three Hu brothers clumsily followed He Lianlian in folding the oil paper box for a while, but they didn't fold it nicely. When He Lianlian saw it, she immediately felt sorry for the oil paper.

"Big sister, why don't you guys fold the paper boxes and ask the three brothers from the Hu family to fry the chestnuts."

He Lianlian's proposal was exactly what the three boys of the Hu family wanted. Just by looking at He Lianlian folding her hands so quickly, the hands of the three of them seemed to be out of control.

My eyes and brain have clearly learned it, but my hands just can’t learn it.

Now asking them to put down the oil paper and roast chestnuts is like being pardoned.

He Zhaodi, He Pandi, and He Lianlian folded oil paper boxes together, and soon they had folded a lot of them. Hu Xianxian was young and folded slowly, and she saw that the three sisters had folded so many, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Suddenly she remembered that they seemed to be missing one thing - a scale!

So she immediately put down the work in her hands, walked to the next room and started looking for it. Soon she came back with a small scale.

Meng Lan and the others are ready, and He Zhaodi and the others are ready too.

So the children followed the adults and went to the town together. Meng Lan and Meng Chuncao still planned to act separately like yesterday, but this made the children feel troubled.

So who should they follow?

Meng Lan saw their dilemma, so she stepped forward and spoke.

"Zhao Di, you two should go to the academy with me today. If that doesn't work, then go there with Chun Cao tomorrow."

Meng Lan led a group of children to the gate of the academy, where there were already many scholars waiting for them.

As soon as Meng Lai and his friends arrived, they consciously lined up to buy. The scene made the children's eyes go straight. He Zhaodi didn't expect her grandmother's business to be so good, and she couldn't help but admire her more.

They had rarely been to the town and this was the first time they had seen such a scene.

They all stood there, timidly. The people around them were all focused on the pork elbow rice and paid no attention to these children.

"Fried, fried chestnuts, fried chestnuts, fragrant and sweet fried chestnuts——"

Suddenly, a female voice was heard among the group of children. It sounded a little stumbling, but that was only at the beginning. Her voice became smoother afterwards.

Meng Lan couldn't help but look up and found that the person leading the shouting was her second granddaughter He Pandi.

She is a person with ideas and courage. In her previous life, she was a woman who dared to go out alone to explore the world. It would have been impossible without some courage. This is also a good granddaughter.

With He Pandidi taking the lead, the other children became bolder and followed He Pandidi in shouting.

“Roasted chestnuts, fragrant and sweet roasted chestnuts!”

"Fried chestnuts, fragrant and sweet fried chestnuts~"

The more people shouted, the more natural it became, and soon attracted many people. He Pandi generously let them taste first and buy if they liked it.

Many people who tried it thought it tasted good, so they bought some.

They quickly sold half of the 20 catties of chestnuts they brought, earning about 60 coins. The pace of sales slowed down, and by the time Meng Lan and her friends had finished selling their meals, they still had about 5 catties of roasted chestnuts left.

Fortunately, there is a large flow of people here, and many people come and go. I guess these roasted chestnuts will be sold out in a while.

It’s not that He Zhaodi and her friends’ sugar-roasted chestnuts are selling too slowly, it’s that Meng Lan and her friends’ rice are selling too quickly.

Meng Lan asked He Chuanjia and Jiang to stay here with the children while she went to purchase goods.

Meng Lan was pushing the cart on the road. Since she had to return to the entrance of the academy soon, she didn't walk far this time. She walked to a nearby alley where there were few people and quickly bought goods from the supermarket.

After waiting for a while, she came out of the alley and started walking back. When she was still some distance away from the entrance of the academy, she found a group of people gathered on the road.

There were also cries of pain and quarrels among the crowd.

Meng Lan couldn't help but stop and tiptoe to look towards the center of the crowd.

"What's going on?"

The person in front was too tall, and Meng Lan couldn't see inside. Her strong curiosity made her a little anxious, and she couldn't help but ask a passerby next to her.

Passersby gathered here to watch the fun, and of course they were gossiping. When Meng Lan asked, he started talking to Meng Lan about everything he knew.
