Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 548 - 61: The Ability to Support the Family_2
...
In the room on the west side.
Gu Ping sneaked over from the kitchen, looking even more downcast.
"Lost again...’
He muttered.
His brother, Gu An, was calm: "It’s no big deal, bro. It’s not your first time losing; you’ll get used to it."
After all...
Gu An thought to himself, his brother doesn’t seem all that impressive, not even matching up to Yun Baoni nowadays.
Losing to Da Dan and Daya, that’s normal.
Little Xuan was quite composed.
"It’s okay, everyone has their strengths."
The small boy spoke with the most profound words, having the presence of an educator.
"Daya is good at sewing, while Da Dan excels in cooking."
"If you want to improve, you need to learn more and discover your own strengths."
"A momentary loss is not a real loss."
Yun Baoni listened attentively and quickly nodded in agreement—
"That’s right, Gu Ping, you have to get moving!"
"Look at me, every day I bring my aunt meals, tea, and snacks... I already know what I want to do in the future!"
Gu Ping widened his eyes: "You already know?!"
"Of course!"
Yun Baoni looked up: "In the future, I’m going to be a nanny for my aunt!"
"I’m just right for this job!"
Gu Ping: ...
Humph.
He felt a bit sour inside:
"Don’t get too cocky! Da Dan also wants to become a chef for his aunt in the future!"
You’re not the only one who wants to be with the aunt.
Gu Ping buried his head and wrote furiously—
Since he couldn’t find it for the time being, he had to excel in academics!
Once again lost in his self-awareness as an educational expert, Little Xuan: ...
—To be honest, do you both have some kind of brain defect?
...
Chu River didn’t come home until 5:30.
Liu Jia Bao had already finished learning the new course and dashed back home.
Luckily, with the longer days, the sun was still blazing at 5:30, giving Chen Changhai a reason to linger until now.
Seeing the God of Wealth, he immediately stepped up to greet him.
"Oh, Comrade Chu River, you’ve worked so hard at your job! Come, come, I just got two new strips of bacon, they’re delicious, and I brought them just for you."
Chu River was also quite enthusiastic:
"Really! Da Dan, let’s stew the bacon tonight."
Then he instructed Bao Ni, who was eagerly making him some cold tea inside:
"Bao Ni, pour Uncle a cup of mint tea too."
He thought for a moment and added another line.
"Don’t add sugar for the big guy, he probably doesn’t like sweet things."
Yun Baoni promptly and cheerfully responded aloud.
—Mint water without sugar, all it costs is a leaf from the wall corner.
She was willing to give that up.
Chen Changhai: ...
In these times of scarcity, who doesn’t consume sugar?
But oh well, after spending a couple of hours here, finally having a proper drink was gratifying.
He was feeling parched after some crispy snacks, eating plums, and trying new things, truly drying out his mouth.
Nevertheless, the deal was done.
Soy sauce at three dimes a pound, with him providing the jars.
Crisp plums 1.5 dimes a pound.
The crispy snacks aren’t rare now, but they contain rice, oil, and salt.
3.5 dimes a pound.
These three items are the perfect accompaniments to drinks!
When they’re sent to the factory, Chen Changhai was certain—
After tasting them, when they have another round, they won’t forget about it!
Da Dan quickly calculated in his head.
Soy sauce is three dimes a pound, and he has a big tub here, at least 50 pounds to sell. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
bucks in his pocket, and clearing all costs he could still earn ten bucks.
He could buy a basket of plums for one dime, with at least twenty or thirty pounds per basket. He’s only pickled twenty pounds here, but he can continue to make more afterward.
These twenty pounds could net him three bucks, and it’s simple, just wash and mix, not too labor-intensive or costly.
As for the crispy snacks...
This was the most labor-intensive, but the materials were inexpensive, 3.5 dimes a pound...
With all he had in the kitchen, not considering future production, the orders just for today at least amounted to seventeen or eighteen bucks.
That’s a few hundred a month!
Da Dan was breathing heavily.
...
At this moment, he was also very excited:
"Aunt, Uncle Chen has made a deal with me, I can sell the snacks I make to him in the future, and the money will all go to you."
Chu River nodded, very appreciative of this mindset.
"But when the snacks are sold, they can’t affect our own consumption here."
"Surely not!"
Da Dan patted his chest in assurance: "Even if they aren’t sold, Aunt must eat well."
Chen Changhai watched, bewildered.
In these times, who doesn’t try to earn money first before thinking about what to eat?
This family is truly unique.
...
And Daya was also running out with a shirt.
"Aunt, I can also help Uncle Chen make clothes, and the money will be yours too."
Chu River nodded:
"Alright, do your best, when your skills improve, we’ll raise the price."
