A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

It was not until Xu Lei got home that night that he found out that Gu Qinghuan had given his wife 150 yuan. He originally thought that he would only receive 100 yuan in total, but he didn't expect that there was 100 more.

That night he rode his bike to the downstairs of the small western-style building.

"Niece, didn't we agree on one hundred yuan? Why did you give me only two hundred?" The money was too hot to handle, so he didn't dare to take it.

Although he didn't make a lot of money, he could still make a decent living. He knew exactly what money he could take and what he couldn't take.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing inwardly. This couple was really a good match. They were both kind people.

"Uncle Xu, I went to the department store and asked. The cakes there are priced at more than one or two yuan per pound. The Beijing Eight Pieces start at two yuan. If I give you one yuan, won't that make you lose money?"

"That's because the product was sold several times, so there's a price difference. Department stores make a lot of money, but we made it ourselves. We only need to pay for the materials, and it's not a big deal. Your aunt made it in two days.

She only spent less than 70 yuan on the materials. If you give us 100 yuan, we can still get more than 30 yuan, which is pretty good." Xu Lei really didn't treat her as an outsider at all and even told her the cost.

Gu Qinghuan smiled helplessly, wondering how come he couldn't send the money.

"Uncle Xu, let me tell you this, I didn't buy these cakes to give as gifts. I have a friend who works in that business, you should understand, right?

I'll give these cakes to him to sell, and we'll both make money. It's a mutually beneficial thing. Since I dare to give you this price, I can guarantee that you'll make money, so don't refuse.

There is still some time left, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Ask my aunt to make some more and send them over so that we can make money together!"

This friend was of course a fabricated person by Gu Qinghuan, and she was the only middleman.

I said this in order to make Xu Lei feel at ease to accept the money, and because I trust his character.

After hearing this, Xu Lei probably understood. He secretly thought that Gu Qinghuan's friend was someone from the black market.

There is talk of a severe crackdown every day, but in fact he sometimes secretly goes to the black market to buy some things, otherwise commercial grain alone is not enough to eat.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he was just worried that he would be discovered and would drag down Gu Qinghuan.

"Niece, let me ask you something in private. Is your friend reliable? Don't let him get you into trouble again."

"Don't worry, Uncle Xu. I don't care about the sales. I just give him the goods. How much he earns is his business. I don't care. Even if he gets caught, I can't hold him responsible." Gu Qinghuan said seriously.

Xu Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! Okay, Uncle Xu believes in you, let's do it together, the New Year is coming soon, and making a little extra money will also help us have a good year."

"That's exactly the reason. Don't worry, I'll take whatever you have. But you have to make it clear to my aunt. The quality must not be compromised, and the materials must be good.

By the way, let’s put it this way: you can get the materials directly from me. The raw materials here do not require invoices, which is more convenient.

Ask my aunt to make a list, and I'll ask Lanting to carry it over."

She can place an order directly at the vending machine, which is pre-cleaned, more convenient, and the quality is guaranteed, and no ticket is required.

"That's great. Your aunt is just worried because all the food coupons at home are spent on making cakes. Although she earns money, sometimes she can't even take out the food coupons when she needs them." Xu Lei nodded in agreement.

"However, if you provide the raw materials, the price will change. How about this, no matter what you make, we only charge one yuan per kilogram for processing. If we make one hundred kilograms, we will make one hundred yuan. That's a good deal, isn't it?"

Compared with the profit from today's 100 kilograms of pastries, he has already reduced his own profit.

Gu Qinghuan was no longer polite and nodded in agreement.

"Row!"

"By the way, niece, are you planning to go back to Northeast China to celebrate the New Year this year?" Xu Lei asked puzzledly.

Gu Qinghuan was thinking about this issue. She should have gone back a long time ago, but was delayed by various things. Now Xu Huaian had not returned yet, and she was secretly worried, so she put the matter on hold.

She was traveling back to Northeast China with her two children alone, and the journey was a problem.

It seemed unbearable to leave Lanting here alone to celebrate the New Year. Although Ming Ruxue was there, they were both still teenagers.

He couldn't let go of the people on Xu Jiatun's side, and he was in a dilemma, worrying about both sides.

"Wait a little longer, until Huai'an comes back."

After the two of them decided on making the pastries, Xu Lei prepared to go back. Gu Qinghuan brought him a jar of pickled radishes that she had made herself.

There are too many pickled vegetables at home. Some have been given to Xiao Fengying and Ou Sumei, and there are still a lot left.

Moreover, the vegetables she had planted in her space were also harvested. After they were all harvested, they were put away.

Speaking of this, she discovered a bug. The transfer station of the vending machine is a natural refrigerator. She was worried that the vegetables in the space would rot if they were not eaten after harvesting, and even if she filled the refrigerator, it would not be able to hold all the vegetables.

Later, she suddenly remembered that the transfer station of the vending machine seemed to have a freshness-preserving function, so she tried to weigh the vegetables and put them into the transfer station. As long as they were not put up for sale, they could be kept in there forever and she could take them out whenever she wanted. It was very convenient.

Isn’t this just a big refrigerator like a bottomless pit?

These dishes are divided into two parts. One part is kept for eating at home, and the other part is what Xu Huaian had planted before and prepared to feed the animals in the space.

Gu Qinghuan put them away separately.

After Xu Huaian left, she had to take care of the ranch in the space by herself, picking up pheasant eggs, turtledove eggs, and flying dragon eggs every day.

Then, he followed Xu Huaian's example, used a strong flashlight to find the eggs that could be hatched, and put them back in the nest.

The earliest eggs have hatched into chicks, little flying dragons and little turtledoves. There are the most pheasants, with dozens of them, and there are also quite a few turtledoves. There are fewer flying dragons, only about ten.

With this constant supply of eggs and hatchlings, over and over again, she would soon be able to achieve pheasant and dragon freedom.

In addition to eating the remaining eggs at home, there were a lot of them, hundreds of them, and Gu Qinghuan simply hung them all on the car and sold them.

This caused another wave of online shock, and everyone was speculating about her identity.

Rabbits reproduce very quickly. They had given birth to several litters of rabbits before. She noticed that some of the rabbits had abnormally large bellies and might be pregnant.

Speaking of rabbits, the little rabbits given to the three children were raised by them in a corner of the yard. The first thing the children did when they got up every day was to feed them carrots, rotten vegetable leaves and water.

He would also diligently clean the rabbit's poop himself, not causing Gu Qinghuan any worry at all.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the wild boars in the space are fat and strong. Gu Qinghuan thinks it is time to slaughter one for the New Year.

Although wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork, it should taste pretty good after being raised in spiritual spring water for some time.

There were also wild goats, deer and roe deer, which we would kill as well to try.

When Gu Qinghuan was taking inventory, she suddenly remembered that she had also collected a little sable, but she seemed to have forgotten it.

Where did this guy go?

Gu Qinghuan searched up and down in the space but couldn't find it. The main reason was that the thing was too small and inconspicuous.

The book says that sables are nocturnal and mostly forage at night and sleep during the day. This is probably why they disappeared.

Just when Gu Qinghuan was about to give up looking for it, he suddenly discovered that a round purple flower had grown in the middle of the spiritual spring at some point in time.

Could this be the evil-killing flower that Hades once mentioned?

She walked forward curiously to check it out, and a dark brown light flashed, and something ran out from the flower and lay on her shoulder, scaring her.

Looking closely, who else could it be but the little sable?

This guy has been forgotten by her since he came in. He must have stolen a lot of spiritual spring water. Look at how smooth his fur has become. He looks very smart. He even treats the Zhuxie Flower as his own backyard and sleeps in it.

Gu Qinghuan was both angry and amused, and pulled the little thing down.

The little sable looked at her with a slightly flattering look, as if begging for mercy.

Gu Qinghuan held it in his arms, smoothed its fur, and threatened: "This flower is very important. You must not damage it, or I will stew you! I have never eaten mink meat before."

The little sable seemed to understand what she was saying. It shuddered with fear, then jumped off her hand, ran forward a few steps, and turned back to signal her to follow.

It’s incredible. This guy is really smart.

Gu Qinghuan followed it to see what it was going to do. This guy ran all the way to the red pine forest and stopped next to a big red pine. It skillfully used its claws to dig a small hole under the red pine and then crawled in.

Could it be hiding in here? No wonder I didn't notice it.

Gu Qinghuan looked around and found animal fur and bones near the cave entrance. Is this... a hare?

This sable was really rude. He treated her ranch as his own backyard and even ate her rabbits!

Just as Gu Qinghuan was about to pull it out, it ran out of the hole by itself, holding something.

The little sable put the things at her feet and looked at her with a flattering face, which was very humane.

Gu Qinghuan calmed down a lot. He bent down and took a closer look. Why did this plain black lump covered with mud look so familiar?

Is this... ginseng? Although there are no roots, it is obviously ginseng, but the little sable dug it up so only the middle part of the ginseng is left, without the roots.

Wow, this ginseng is quite big, it must be a hundred years old. I don’t know where it was dug from. Was it brought in when I collected other things?

The little guy also knows how to be attentive. Good. Gu Qinghuan's anger instantly subsided. A few rabbits in exchange for a hundred-year-old ginseng. This deal is too good to be true.

She carefully wrapped up the ginseng, then picked up the little sable and said, "Since you have contributed a lot in presenting the treasure, I will not hold it against you. You can eat any rabbits you want in the future, but you must not waste them. Also, you are not allowed to waste my evil-killing flowers again, or I will send you back to your hometown in the forest."

The little sable might have understood what she meant and kept nodding.

Sable can actually find ginseng? I've never heard of it having this ability.

However, seeing is believing, and she has seen it today.

"Little sable, please help me look for other good things in this forest." Gu Qinghuan said while hugging the sable.

The little sable yawned. Humans are such a hassle.

It ran straight back into its cave and didn't come out.

Gu Qinghuan was not angry. She happily took the newly acquired ginseng and went to bed.
