Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Order
When Houzi and his assistant visited the richest family in the county town yesterday, the old lady bought everything at once. Not only did she buy meat, grains, and sauces, but also all of the jujube cakes and frozen dumplings. He earns more than 300 yuan in one trip.

Huozi didn’t know if the news about him selling good quality items came from that family or not. But last night, several people from several wealthy families came to order jujube cakes and frozen dumplings. While Huozi was happy about this big order, he was a little worried that Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu wouldn’t come today.

So, when he saw Li Chenmo walking in with Lu Jueyu, he stood up suddenly and greeted them enthusiastically, “Brother, Sister-in-law, you are here!”

Houzi thought that Li Chenmo would be flattered by his warm welcome, but when he saw Li Chenmo frowning and looking wary, he was stunned.

Lu Jueyu smiled instead when she saw Houzi’s enthusiasm. She could guess the change in Houzi’s attitude had something to do with her items. It seems like her stuff is sold at really high prices.

In the face of huge profits, most people will lower their pride in order to obtain more benefits. What’s more, Houzi is one of those people who dares to take this road for money in this era. Money may be more important to him than his self-esteem.

The awkwardness only lasted a few seconds. When they put the bamboo baskets on the table, Houzi already regained his composure and asked, “Brother, what did you bring today?”

Li Chenmo glanced at him and took away the leaves covering the items in the bamboo basket. Houzi felt a little disappointed when he saw that there were no grains, no meat, and only a few jars. Thinking that meat and grains were hard to come by, his disappointment disappeared the next moment. It is impossible to ask Li Chenmo to have meat and grain for sale at all times. If they could do it, he would doubt them instead.

Just as Li Chenmo took out the jars from the bamboo basket, Lu Jueyu also took out empanadas and scallion pancakes wrapped in oil paper, as well as two jars of meat sauce from her bamboo basket. In addition to empanadas and scallion pancakes, there are jujube cakes and frozen dumplings.

When Houzi saw the food, his eyes lit up and he said, “Sister-in-law, several people want to buy your jujube cakes and frozen dumplings for the Lantern Festival. Are you willing to accept the order?”

“Sure. My husband and I will not refuse money. Brother Houzi, can you tell us how much the order is? We will try to complete it before the Lantern Festival.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

After hearing what she said, Houzi felt happy and quickly handed a piece of paper to Lu Jueyu. Lu Jueyu was speechless when she saw what was written on the paper. She thinks since Houzi is good at arithmetic, he can at least write simple words. However, when she saw the piece of paper, all her expectations were shattered. Indeed, education in this era was poor.

There is a drawing of juju cakes and dumplings, and a few lines of words beside it, which can be said to be the number of orders. Although simple, it is easy to understand. Lu Jueyu folded the paper and put it in her pocket.

After confirming the order, Houzi pointed at the jar and asked, “Brother, sister-in-law, what is this?”

Li Chenmo opened the lid and said, “Soy milk. Freshly made.”

The moment he opened the lid, a soybean aroma with a hint of sweetness filled the room. In the past, soy milk was made by Lu Jueyu manually. But when she stored the soy milk in her space’s warehouse, it was listed in the factory and could be produced. So, she no longer has to make it by hand. She just has to get it from the warehouse.

“Can I try?” Houzi asked after swallowing his saliva.

“Of course.” Li Chenmo nodded.

Houzi brought a small cup, and Li Chenmo gave him a ladle. This ladle is made of bamboo by Li Chenmo. A ladle can fill a small cup.

Houzi took a sip and savored the taste. The soy milk is still warm. After drinking the soy milk, he felt warm all over and sighed. He put the cup on the table and asked, “How much does it cost for a jar?”

Lu Jueyu has calculated the ingredients according to the current market price and said, “One jar is equivalent to 200 ladles, and it costs 30 yuan per jar.”

Houzi calculated and nodded. A ladle can fill a cup, and each cup has a capital of 15 cents. Soy milk is made from soybeans and sugar and the ingredients are not cheap. If he sells them for 25 cents a cup, he will be able to make money, albeit not much.

“Alright. I’ll take it all.”

Today, they brought 6 jars of soy milk, 60 empanadas, 60 scallion pancakes, 40 pieces of jujube cakes, and 60 frozen dumplings. A total of 314 yuan.

Houzi handed the money to Li Chenmo. After getting the money, they left Houzi’s place. Before leaving the black market, they went to the place where the old man usually waited. As soon as they walked into the alley, they saw the old man already waiting there.

Seeing them coming, the old man’s eyes lit up. While he was anxious, he did not go over and wait at his place. When Lu Jueyu came over, he asked, “Girl, is that person your brother? He’s not bad. My youngest daughter is still single. Maybe we can become a family.”

Lu Jueyu said displeasedly, “Uncle, that man is my husband.”

The old man was startled. Although he could only see her eyes and nose, he was sure that the girl was still young. But that man exudes an aura that only a mature man who has experienced a lot can have. He looked at Lu Jueyu and said, “I didn’t expect you to like an older man.”
