158 They are Not Good at This
This made Aunt Wang laugh.
“How can you say this? Your mother is gentle. As for Li Xiao, although he’s a little dull, he doesn’t always look cold.”
The first time she saw Li Xiao, she was really a little afraid.
However, as time passed, she got used to it. She even felt that Li Xiao was easy to get along with and was more polite compared to many young men in the village.
“Hehe, it’s true. I went to Ruyi Restaurant to discuss the business, so my mother and Li Xiao went to the west of the city to set up the stall first.”
“When I got there, they only managed to sell two bowls of cold cakes in two hours.”
“That can’t be. The cold cakes you made are so delicious!” Aunt Wang’s face was filled with suspicion.
“It’s true!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and replied.
“Because they don’t dare to call out to customers!”
“When I went there, my mother was standing there with a face full of worry. Li Xiao, on the other hand, was like a wooden pillar, standing not far from my mother,” Lin Xiaoyue’s tone was filled with helplessness.
“To be honest, I was a little surprised that they could even sell two bowls of cold cakes.”
This made Aunt Want laugh again.
“You must be exaggerating!”
“Hehe, not at all,” Lin Xiaoyue said helplessly.
“I’ve already thought it through. I won’t let them follow me to town to manage the stall in the future.”
“I’ll ask my mother to stay at home to look after Qing ‘er and Xiaozhi, and sell the cold cakes in the village. As for Li Xiao, he told me that he wanted to go to the dock to see if there’s any work for him.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Li Xiao is going to the dock? I’ll ask Uncle Wang to help him ask around,” Aunt Wang immediately said.
“No need for that. He said he wanted to take a look, but he might not be working there.”
“Alright.”
“Li Xiao is strong and literate. He can do a lot of things.”
“But I’ll ask Uncle Wang anyways when he comes back tonight. If there’s a suitable job, you can send Li Xiao over.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled, “thank you!”
Li Xiao had skills, and he probably had an extraordinary background too.
Wouldn’t it be a waste if he worked as a laborer at the dock?
Anway, they didn’t need him to support the family, it’s up to him.
“You’re welcome!” Aunt Wang immediately said.
Suddenly, she remembered what Lin Xiaoyue said.
“You’re going to sell cold cakes in the village?”
“Yes, yesterday, Aunt Sun and Aunt Jiang went to my house to look for my mother. They tasted the cold cake and liked it. I thought we could also try selling them in the village.”
“It’s the busy farming season now, so there are many people who are willing to spend money on food. A bowl of cold cake is much more delicious than boiled eggs and Tang Yuans in the summer.”
“That’s true,” Aunt Wang agreed.
“If I had enough manpower, I would also sell them in other villages.”
“In town, I sell it for 5 wen a bowl and 8 wen for two. In the village, we should still be able to earn a profit by selling it at 7 wen for two bowls.”
“Also, I’m charging Ruyi Restaurant 3 wen per bowl, and they have ordered 200 bowls.”
