Chapter 79 - 79 Lackey
79 Lackey
“The business was very good, and we were sold out before noon. We’ll continue to work on it tonight and use up the rest of the ingredients. We’ll make more money during the busy season.” Su Wen had a plan. This was the time when farmers had to work hard, and no matter how reluctant the family was, they would not be able to endure it.
For example, like buying some meat home to nourish themselves.
The cake was definitely not as popular as the meat, but it was still a good thing.
However, this was secondary. She still positioned her main customer base as the city people.
Su Qing’s face was blank, and she said after a long while, “Really… you were really selling it for 50 cents each? And they’ve all been sold?” The price was too expensive. How did big sister dare to sell it at such a high price?
Why did those people buy it?
Do they not think it was very expensive?
Su Qing knew that the cake was delicious, very, very delicious, but no matter how delicious it was, she could not bear to spend fifty cents on a piece.
“Don’t be so petty. Fifty cents may be a lot to you, but it’s nothing to rich people,” Su Wen said, exasperated. Most of the cakes today were bought by the same person.”
Su Wen wagged her finger. “Do you understand? One should open one’s eyes, dare to think, and dare to understand. If you want to succeed, you can’t be afraid of failure.”
The group of people who became rich first in the 1980s were all bold and daring.
“Yes!” Su Qing nodded her head vigorously. “I understand, big sister.” Her big sister had been improving, and she had to change her mindset as well.
In the past, Su Qing’s biggest dream was to be like her Master and become a tailor to make clothes for others. If she married a hardworking man, she would be satisfied for the rest of her life. However, after hearing her sister’s words, she suddenly wavered.
Su Wen stopped paying attention to Su Qing and took her little sister to the well to wash her hands. Although she was wearing gloves, there were still some cactus thorns on her arm. Su Wen carefully removed them with a pair of tweezers.
Little sister Su did not even bat an eye from beginning to end. She liked Su Wen more and more.
“My little sister is so brave.”
Little sister Su, who was praised, felt as if she had eaten honey. She went behind Su Wen like a lackey and said, “Big sister, let me help you massage your shoulders. Are you tired? Quickly sit down and rest.”
“Alright!” Su Wen decided to give the title of lackey number one to her younger sister.
Su Qing found it funny. “Big sister, I’ll go and welcome third sister.”
Su Wen waved her hand. “Okay! Go! Go! When Su Xiu comes back, we’ll make dumplings.” The dumplings were cooked very quickly, and it was best to eat them when they were out of the pot.
It would not taste good if it was left for too long.
“Second sister, hurry up and go.” Little sister Su massaged Su Wen’s shoulders while trying to please her, “Big sister, how’s your strength? Is it comfortable?”
“Not bad! My little sister is so capable.”
The little sister worked even harder after receiving the praise, making Su Wen feel embarrassed. It was not that she was exploiting child labor, but that she realized that her younger sister was very insecure. If she really did not have work to do, she did not even dare to close her eyes to sleep.
She was afraid that she would be sold for money.
In less than ten minutes, Su Qing came back with Su Xiu, who had a full load with her. The sisters were carrying a large bag of things and were as careful as thieves along the way. They finally heaved a sigh of relief when they entered the house.
Su Xiu carried so many things and walked for more than an hour, but she did not feel tired. Instead, she was smiling.
Her face was red and her eyes were bright.
Su Wen looked at her and knew that she was happy for her fourth and fifth sisters.
After this period of time, she could tell that the most responsible person in the family was not the original character, nor was it the second child, Su Qing.
On the other hand, it was the third sister, Su Xiu.
