22 Little Chu is back (1/2)
As Bai Zhexi listened to her daughter's ambitious narration of her plans, she looked at the three empty cans on the table, at the small book with two pages full of notes, and then at her passionate daughter, and felt as if she were dreaming.
Everything in front of her was unbelievable.
”You mean you've sold fifty pounds of cucumber sauce?” Bai Zhexi confirmed nervously.
”Well, we can't get the money for now, but we'll get the money after the cucumbers in the restaurant are sold out. A pound isn't expensive, just a dollar.”
Bai Zhexi could not help but say, ”A dollar is not a small sum. We can buy cucumbers at thirty cents a catty, and in addition to the cost of the materials, a catty's capital is at most fifty cents. That way, we can at least earn fifty cents.”
When Wan Chao'er heard this, she revealed a smile. Her price was quite suitable, but it was not as much as the restaurant's profit.
”You're right. In three days, we must prepare at least fifty catties of cucumber sauce.”
Bai Zhexi finally believed her daughter's words. She couldn't help but grab Wan Chu'er's hand and tightly hold it.
”Chu'er, you've done such a big thing in the afternoon. It must've been hard to talk to so many restaurants.
Do you know how happy your mother is that you can do this? Mom is not happy because you sold a 50 catty cucumber sauce, but because, our Chu'er has finally grown up and knows how to pity your mother. If your father knew, how happy would he be …”
Bai Zhexi was a little incoherent as she chattered on and on. Now, she finally believed that her well-behaved Little Chu had returned.
She felt that her afternoon run had not been in vain, that she could do something for her loved ones.
