Chapter 39 The Business Thief Arrives
Even so, Liang Yili was displeased that Hua Yuansheng, at his age, was still getting into fights.
"Grandpa, do you know you were wrong?"
Hua Yuansheng's dark face flushed as if he had drunk strong liquor:
"Not next time."
At his age, he's still fighting like a young boy, it's really...
"No, what I meant was, next time you get into a fight, remember to call me along!"
"Huh?" Hua Anshan picked at his ear.
Liang Yili said matter-of-factly, "I'll beat him up for you!"
As she spoke, Liang Yili rolled up her sleeves and patted the muscles on her arms:
"Don't worry, I'm strong enough!"
Liang Ruotao glanced at her arm and smiled shyly: "Me too."
Hua Yuansheng was taken aback for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Good!"
Hua Anshan swayed and almost fell into the field.
You've lived long enough to see all sorts of things.
He had only ever heard of grandfathers spoiling their grandchildren, but this was the first time he had ever seen a grandfather spoil his grandchildren so much.
But looking at the happy figures of the three generations of the family, Hua Anshan felt... they deserved it.
so good!
After giving Hua Yuansheng his instructions, a shadow crossed Liang Yili's eyes as she thought about the gossip circulating in the village.
Previously, she always felt that as long as the three of them, grandmother and grandson, lived a good life, that was better than anything else.
Time will prove everything.
But now it seems that just living a good life on your own is not enough.
"Grandpa, do you have any peas at home?"
Hua Yuansheng nodded: "Want to eat peas? We harvested dozens of kilograms last year, and they're all upstairs! If you want some, you can go upstairs and get them later!"
After getting home, I took advantage of the time I still had before leaving.
Liang Yili climbed upstairs and rummaged through the grain bins to find two jin of peas.
Take it downstairs and soak it in water.
Then he ran off to Hua Yuanqing's house.
"Grandpa, do you have tofu boxes?"
Hua Yuanqing had just learned about Liang Yili's actions from Hua Anshan, and he and Yan Dahua were sighing with regret!
Seeing Liang Yili rush in like a gust of wind, he quickly nodded: "Yes! Come and see!"
Liang Yili looked around and found that the tofu box was not suitable.
too big.
"Grandpa, do you have any of those square boxes? Like those molds that can hold about a pound or two of tofu?"
Hua Yuanqing thought for a moment, then flipped out a small square from the bottom:
Is this okay?
This was specially made by the tofu seller from the next village to be used for cutting tofu.
One square can hold exactly one pound of tofu.
Liang Yili's eyes lit up instantly: "How many of these molds do you have?"
Hua Yuanqing carefully looked through them: "There are only 3 left. If you need them, I can make them now."
"Then make me seven more, that'll make a total of ten! Do you have any larger wooden barrels?"
When I turned around, oh my god, the next room was filled with all sorts of wooden barrels.
They have everything, big and small.
Liang Yili remembered that there were still wooden buckets at home, so there was no rush for the time being.
He picked up three wooden boxes: "Shall I take these three wooden boxes first?"
After saying that, Liang Yili took out two yuan, stuffed it into Hua Yuanqing's arms, and ran away.
Hua Yuanqing was caught off guard and was caught off guard.
The small bill was light and floated to the ground.
By the time Hua Yuanqing picked up the money from the ground and tried to return it, Liang Yili had already disappeared.
"This kid!"
Yan Dahua was also puzzled: "Why did Pear leave so quickly?"
"Probably busy! This kid, he's always so energetic..."
As he spoke, Hua Yuanqing suddenly recalled what his son had said about Liang Yili fiercely dislocating someone's arm, and shook his head with a smile.
Yan Dahua, as Hua Yuanqing's wife, was all too aware of his worries.
She glanced at Hua Yuanqing: "Are you relieved now?"
Hua Yuanqing nodded: "With a child like this around, Ah Sheng's good days are yet to come!"
He no longer has to worry about his younger brother being left alone and helpless if he dies before him.
OK!
so good!
Before setting off for the county town, Liang Ruotao looked at Liang Yili with a puzzled expression:
"Are you going to take the peas along with it?"
"Correct!"
As the oxcart entered the county town, Liang Yili, holding a basin, shouted, "Grandpa, stop!"
"what happened?"
"I'll take this to the mill to be juiced. You guys go to the crossroads first."
Liang Ruotao asked curiously, "Pea juice? What are you going to make?"
Peas are usually stir-fried or used in rice dishes, aren't they?
Liang Yili chuckled: "It's a secret! You'll find out tonight!"
Seeing Liang Yili acting mysteriously, Liang Ruotao became even more curious.
Although it's called a mill, the stone mill inside has long been replaced by a machine.
After Liang Yili stated her requirements.
The mill owner said unhappily, "With this little bit of beans you have, I can't even make back the electricity cost of running the machine."
Liang Yili chuckled and inquired, "How many kilograms of peas can you grind in an hour? How much do you charge?"
"200 jin per hour, the fee is 2.4 yuan."
"Can I get a discount if I play a lot?"
"It's already very cheap. I don't even make any money. I just make enough to cover the electricity costs."
Seeing Liang Yili's disbelief, the mill owner said, "If you can really make 200 jin, I'll charge you 2.2 yuan, okay?"
At a time when a pound of cabbage costs only 8 cents, a 2-cent discount is already quite good.
"Hehe, then I'll come and play tomorrow."
"Could you grind these two pounds of beans into juice for me today?"
The mill owner glanced at Liang Yili suspiciously.
"I promise, I will definitely come tomorrow!"
I set up my stall at the three-way intersection every night. If I don't come here, you can look for me there!
"Even a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small. What's wrong with two pounds of beans? You're still alive, aren't you?" Liang Yili advised.
Based on the principle of "investing for the long term to catch a big fish," the mill owner eventually helped Liang Yili start the machine.
When Liang Yili returned to the crossroads with the freshly made pea juice.
Then they saw Hua Yuansheng staring intently at a certain spot with a stern face and a dark, grimacing expression.
Following his gaze, not far away, a somewhat familiar-looking young man with slicked-back hair was shamelessly shouting:
"Spicy crayfish, spicy and delicious spicy crayfish, less than a dollar a pound, only 8 cents!"
Liang Yili raised an eyebrow.
Hey, here comes the business thief.
Upon seeing Liang Yili return, Hua Yuansheng immediately stepped forward and said fiercely:
"Pear, should I go and chase that bastard away?"
"Why does this person look so familiar?"
“Hua Yangbo, your family lives next door to your great-grandfather’s house.”
Liang Yili narrowed her eyes, suddenly recalling the stench she smelled when she delivered meat to Hua Yuanqing once.
I recalled what Fang Fang, the owner of the wholesale market, said: there was once a slick-haired man who was asking around about the spices she bought.
Now that we see Hua Yangbo's actions, what is there left to be confused about?
To be honest, anyone in business will encounter competitors sooner or later.
After all, the market is so big that you can't possibly consume it all by yourself.
She is not afraid of any healthy competition.
But Huayangbo's actions are clearly vicious competition...
"Grandpa, sister, I have an idea."
