Su Xiaofeng heard the tone of Su Laoguai and knew she could make the purchase, “Yesterday when I went to the city to sell peaches, some aunts said they really missed the chili sauce made in the countryside.
Moreover, I’m pregnant now and if I go work for someone, they definitely won’t hire me.
So I was thinking about starting a small business or something, that way I could earn some income.”
Upon hearing this, Su Laoguai frowned.
Xiaofeng had not yet given up on the idea of doing business, and he moved his lips, “How many peaches did you sell yesterday?”
He needed to help his daughter analyze the matter; business was a man’s job, and women couldn’t handle it.
Besides, Xiaofeng was so young.
If she went out to do business, who knows how those men would stare at her.
“Over five hundred kilos of peaches, and a hundred kilos of plums,” Su Xiaofeng had nothing else to do, so she just sat at the end of the bed and chatted with Su Laoguai.
“Twenty peaches a bag, selling for three yuan per bag.
Plums aren’t so valuable, fifty cents a bag.”
Upon hearing this, Su Laoguai’s mouth fell open, “Three yuan a bag, and there are only twenty inside?”
What kind of peaches were these?
He would definitely not be willing to spend three yuan to bring a bag of peaches home.
Moreover, the price of peaches and plums were almost the same, and it was sky-high to even find them for twenty or thirty cents at the market.
Take the plums, for example; lined up at the entrance of their village, when plum season came, the fruit would fall all over the ground, nobody really coveted them.
“These aren’t the peaches we usually see, they are called Peach.” Su Xiaofeng remembered she seemed to have bought a few the day before and put them behind the screen.
She took one out of the bag to show Su Laoguai, “Such beautiful peaches, you must have never seen them before.”
Su Laoguai took one glance.
They were big and red, not quite like the peaches from the countryside.
The peaches from the countryside had more fuzz; this kind of peach had a smooth surface with barely any fuzz, making you want to take a bite at first glance.
“So, you sold them all yesterday?” Su Laoguai didn’t want to admit it, but hearing Xiaofeng’s tone, it seemed like she had sold them all.
“To be exact, they were all sold out in less than two hours,” Su Xiaofeng told Su Laoguai this to brainwash him that farming was not the only way out.
Su Xiaofeng said this as she opened her Small Flower Bag and took out the money she had earned yesterday, “This is what I made yesterday, nearly two hundred.”
Su Laoguai had originally thought Xiaofeng didn’t make any money yesterday, and asking carefully would discourage her from the idea of doing business.
Now it seemed, not only had her desire not faded, but it had also grown stronger.
If Xiaofeng were a boy, he would have had no second thoughts about letting her go into business.
But Xiaofeng was quite a looker, and then there was this complication; he was just worried she would suffer losses in the future.
“The peaches are a new variety; city folks probably wanted to try something new.
And this chili sauce…” Selling peaches was one thing, but why did she start thinking about making chili sauce.
He had never realized Xiaofeng was so capable before.
Ever since she got pregnant, Xiaofeng’s thoughts had really become more and more difficult to guess.
Could it really be as people say, that a girl changes once she becomes a mother?
Now it seems, after becoming a mother, Xiaofeng indeed has become a lot more sensible and capable.
The chili peppers are ours, and I have nothing else to do at home.
If it really doesn’t sell, we can just slowly eat it ourselves.”
“Alright, if you want to do it, then go ahead.
How many glass jars will you need?”
Thinking it over, Su Xiaofeng decided not to make too many on her first attempt, “Just buy two hundred for now.”
Upon hearing this, Su Laoguai, who hadn’t felt pain originally, upon hearing Su Xiaofeng’s words, felt uncomfortable all over.
