Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: First Earning
Houzi raised his eyebrows and took the letter in his hand. After reading the letter, a smile appeared on his lips. He stood up, patted Li Chenmo on the shoulder, and said, “Since you are my cousin’s comrade-in-arms, we can also be considered friends. Brother, what can I do for you?”

Lu Jueyu didn’t know what was written in the letter, but the man changed his behavior instantly. So, she knew it was because of her husband’s connections.

“I want to know how much this can be sold for in the market.” Li Chenmo said as he put the bamboo basket on the table.

After he placed three layers of the bamboo basket on the table, the room was filled with the aroma of scallion. Although the food is not as hot as when it was first cooked, it is still warm and fragrant. Li Chenmo uncovered the cloth on the food and was stunned when he saw the empanadas.

He looked at Lu Jueyu, as if asking her why she didn’t ask him to try this snack. Looking at his eyes, Lu Jueyu was confused. Seeing that his wife didn’t understand his complaint, Li Chenmo sighed and looked away.

As for Houzi, he had his sights set on the empanadas. This was his first time seeing this kind of food. He picked one and smelled it. There was nothing but the smell of oil. He put the empanada back in the basket and said, “Although it’s fried, it only smells like oil. I don’t know if I can sell it.”

Li Chenmo frowned when he heard this, worried that his wife would be disappointed. Unexpectedly, he heard his wife say, “Brother Houzi, you can try it first before you make your decisions.”

Houzi nodded, took a piece of empanada, and took a bite. The moment he bites it, his mouth is filled with the aroma of meat. The meat is soft yet juicy and the vegetables are soft. The outside is thin and crispy, and the inside is soft and tender. The filling is also mixed with rice noodles and eggs. He savored it, and before he knew it, the empanada already went into his stomach. He pursed his lips, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

“How is it?” Lu Jueyu asked with a smile.

Houzi nodded and said, “The filling is generous and the taste is great. It contains not only meat and vegetables, but also eggs and rice noodles as fillings. I think we can sell them for 80 cents to 1 yuan each.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenmo was surprised. 80 cents is not a small amount of money. For such a small snack, it can be said to be expensive.

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and asked, “How to divide the money?”

After listening to her words, Houzi smiled and said, “Since my sister-in-law is straightforward, I will be honest. I am willing to pay you 70 cents each. I will take as much as you have.”

“What about the scallion pancakes?” Lu Jueyu asked again.

“We usually buy a scallion pancake for 25 cents,” Houzi said.

Lu Jueyu nodded and took back the meat sauce. Houzi saw it and asked, “Sister-in-law,  what is that?”

“This is the meat sauce I made. Since the scallion pancakes can only be sold for 25 cents, I can’t give this meat sauce as a freebie. After all, meat is not cheap.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Houzi’s eyes lit up when he heard her words. After tasting the empanadas, he knew this woman was a good cook. After thinking for a while, he said, “How about I try the pancakes first, and then we can discuss the price.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and opened the jar. There is a small spoon in the bamboo basket. She scooped a spoonful of meat sauce, spread it on the scallion pancake, and handed it to Houzi.

The addition of meat sauce instantly enhances the visual effect of scallion pancakes. When Houzi sees the color and smells the fragrance, he knows it is good stuff. He took a bite and was stunned by the taste. After just a few bites, the pancake was finished.

After drinking some water, he sighed and said, “This scallion pancake is so delicious. I’ll pay you 70 cents for each portion, including the meat sauce.”

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “Deal!”

After negotiating the price, Houzi asked his assistant to calculate the price. Today, Lu Jueyu only brought thirty empanadas and thirty scallion pancakes. A total of 42 yuan.

Lu Jueyu took the money and asked, “Brother Houzi, can you help me find a bicycle?”

Li Chenmo glanced at his wife in surprise, but said nothing.

“What brand do you want?” Houzi asked.

“If possible, I want the best.” Lu Jueyu said after a while. She didn’t know if the bicycle brands in this world were the same as those in her previous life.

“I can find you a Phoenix brand, but it’s not cheap.”

“How much?” Lu Jueyu asked.

“300 yuan, no coupon. 250 yuan with a coupon.”

Lu Jueyu tried to remember whether she had a bicycle coupon, but she was not sure. She could check it later, so she nodded and said, “Then I’ll bother Brother Houzi to get one for me.”

“No problem.”

After leaving Houzi’s place, Li Chenmo held her hand and walked away. He leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice, “Wife, do you have anything you want to buy?”

Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “I want to look around first.”

“Alright.”

Since they are already here, it doesn’t hurt to take a look. After walking around two times, Lu Jueyu already knew who wanted to buy things and who came to sell things. As they passed a street corner, she saw an old man looking around warily. As he looked around, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
