Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 441: Starved and Deserved It

The two of them saw her as if seeing their own family, almost in tears.

"Sister Su, we’ve finally found you."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at them with some confusion: "What’s going on with you two?"

Even if you’ve been traveling for days, you shouldn’t look like you’ve been fleeing a famine, right?

Hu San spoke up with grievance: "Don’t even mention it, our money was stolen by some jerk on the bus and we almost had to beg all the way here."

Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze fell on their large bundle: "And what’s in this bundle you brought?"

Chen Hai hurriedly unwrapped the bundle to show her: "It’s beef jerky, beef sauce, and chili sauce produced by our factory. We specially brought them for you."

Su Xiaoxiao was somewhat speechless: "So, you brought so much stuff and still ended up starving yourselves?"

Hu San scratched his head: "Isn’t this meant for you, Sister Su? How could we eat them ourselves?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

He said it so matter-of-factly that she was at a loss for words.

Alright, these two fools wouldn’t die in vain, too honest for their own good.

Just after Hu San finished speaking, his stomach growled loudly, and he touched his belly sheepishly: "Sister Su, do you have anything to eat?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Follow me inside."

The two of them eagerly followed her in, hauling their big bundle inside with them.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled out her little electric cooker from under the table and took out two packets of instant noodles.

Actually, these were all taken from the small warehouse in her space.

She poured hot water from the kettle, plugged it in, and waited for the water to boil before adding the noodles.

"Just wait a bit, the noodles will be ready soon..."

Before she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Hu San contorting his face as he tried to get their large bundle past the door.

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

There was so much stuff in the bundle that it couldn’t fit through the door frame.

Su Xiaoxiao reasonably suspected that when Hu San was born, his mother had thrown away the baby and raised the placenta. Otherwise, why was he so dim-witted?

Chen Hai, standing beside, couldn’t hold back anymore and reminded him: "Why don’t you turn the bundle around?"

"Oh right!"

Hu San slapped his forehead, turned the bundle around, and successfully dragged it inside.

They spread the bundle out on the floor, revealing the contents like treasures.

A large heap of beef jerky, beef sauce, and chili sauce was all laid out neatly.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed a packaging she hadn’t seen before, picked it up, and with some curiosity, asked: "Is this mushroom beef sauce?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yes, Xiu’er developed this new flavor, Sister Su, you should try it when you have time, it tastes really good."

Chen Hai interjected with a smile and gave a gentle look.

Even though Su Xiaoxiao was slow, she keenly sensed something was going on. When Chen Hai mentioned Wang Xiuxiu, he seemed like he might grin himself to the heavens.

She wouldn’t believe there wasn’t some story behind this.

Meeting her inquisitive gaze, Chen Hai felt a bit embarrassed, but Hu San grabbed the chance to gossip with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Sister Su, you have no idea, this guy secretly started dating Wang Xiuxiu behind my back, and I only found out after more than a month. It’s so sneaky."

Hu San felt blocked when he mentioned this, worried that his brother would stay single and also worried that his brother wouldn’t stay single. It was tough.

While they were talking, the noodles were done. Su Xiaoxiao found two lunchboxes for them to hold the noodles.

There was only one chair in the office, but they didn’t mind. They just sat cross-legged on the floor, holding the lunchboxes and eating.

While eating, they recounted their journey to Su Xiaoxiao.

These two were really starved, and they ate up ten packets of instant noodles in one go, almost making Su Xiaoxiao’s little electric cooker smoke.

The little electric cooker’s capacity was small, and it could only cook two packets at a time; seeing them devour noodles, she kept cooking on the side, feeling like she was feeding pigs.

After they were full, Hu San patted his bulging belly and burped: "Sister Su, besides bringing you stuff, we also want to expand the market here."

At this point, Chen Hai took out a crumpled notebook from inside his coat and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao: "Sister Su, these are the sales figures from the last month or so, take a look."

As the largest shareholder in their factory, Su Xiaoxiao had the right to know the sales situation.

Su Xiaoxiao trusted these two very much. She took the notebook, glanced through it briefly, and flipped directly to the last page, almost unable to close her mouth in shock.

Her heart was filled with excitement, her hands trembling.

She counted the zeros one by one, barely able to believe her eyes.

In just over a month, they sold over 10,000 yuan worth of goods, netting a profit of over 5,000 yuan after deducting costs.

"Sister Su, before we came, we discussed that you came up with this idea, and most of the startup funds were invested by you, so our idea is that you take the largest share of this profit."

"This is too much."

She merely came up with the idea and put in a little money; she didn’t do any of the hard work, totally acted as a hands-off boss.

"Sister Su, we already discussed this with Xiu’er; you should take this money. We’ve sent it from the post office for safety on the road and guessed it should arrive in the next couple of days."

Chen Hai was firm in his stance.

"Yeah, Sister Su, if it wasn’t for you, we probably wouldn’t have made so much money. We also earned quite a bit from your snail noodle and instant noodles."

Hu San added with a grin, and hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty; the profits from these two items were not small either.

To make them travel a long way to thank her after making so much money felt awkward.

No, she had to go all out to help with market expansion.

"Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony. After you rest, I’ll take you to meet our general manager. I’m sure he’ll be interested in our products."

Not only interested but has been eyeing them for a while.

"Sister Su, what are we waiting for? Let’s go now."

Hu San was the first to stand up, as expanding the market was their main objective for coming here, and they needed to seize every minute.

Chen Hai nodded in agreement.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them with mixed feelings, their faces with scruffy beards, clothes covered in dirt, hair probably hadn’t been washed in a while and was greasy and tangled.

If they squatted on the side of the road with a bowl, they could start working directly.

"Why don’t you two rest at the guesthouse for now, it won’t make much difference."

Su Xiaoxiao gently suggested, fearing their appearance would frighten the general manager and get mistaken as beggars, resulting in them being chased away.

The two exchanged looks, seeing each other’s faces that seemed unwashed for a month, and fell silent.

"Alright, Sister Su, we’ll find a guesthouse to clean up first, then come find you later."

Chen Hai tugged at Hu San, and the two said goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao and left.

After they left, Su Xiaoxiao packed everything up and prepared to help at the promotion fair.

Today was the second day of the year-end promotion fair; logically, business should be better than yesterday.

Because on the first day, many people weren’t aware of the event.

However, when Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the scene, she found things seemed a bit off.

There were barely any people at the stall which was crowded yesterday.

Yan Guohua happened to be on site checking the situation, and upon seeing her, quickly waved her over.
