The sunset was about to disappear completely, and the cold wind by the river was getting stronger. A group of old and young men gathered around the cake-cut stall, while the old man in white clothes selling cake cakes looked at Uncle De.
Uncle De touched the top of his son's head, pondered for a moment and then said: "10 yuan a pound... I don't have any cash with me, so I'll buy it next time."
The old man selling cut cakes reluctantly took out a card: "You can scan the QR code!"
"Haha, you old man is quite well-equipped." People around laughed, and black-haired crows flew across the sky, squawking.
"That's right. Nowadays, young people like to use these QR codes. Just swipe a little money on their mobile phones and transfer it. It's very convenient." The old man in white smiled with him, and then looked at Uncle De with a hopeful look on his face.
"I'm sorry, my mobile phone uses the wireless network at home. I don't have that much data, so I can't pay the bill." Uncle De said helplessly.
The light in the old man's eyes suddenly faded. Did his hard work for a long time finally fail
Just when the old man in white was pushing the bicycle to leave, Li Shu suddenly spoke and said with a smile: "Forget it, I was originally going to show everyone a dog ride today, but that guy Li Nan was unwilling to lie on the ground and be a dog and ride a motorcycle. I ran around and the performance didn’t work out in the end, so I’ll buy cut cakes for everyone to eat now.”
Li Shu turned around and said to the old man selling cut cakes: "I'll round up the remaining cut cakes you have. Count how many people are there and cut a piece for each person evenly."
“Ouch!“.
"Ashu is so proud!".
"What are you doing, old man? Cut the cake!"
People became excited when they heard that there were free cut cakes to eat. Some of them recalled the grand occasion when Li Shu came back in the summer and bought beer, cigarettes, melon seeds, etc. for everyone by the river.
"Okay, okay, let's cut it now!" The old man in white put on his thin gloves, and his face turned into a smile: "Don't rush, don't rush. I'll count the people first and cut each one as big as they can." .
At the end of the count, there were 19 people in total, and there were still 20 kilograms left after cutting the cake. The extra kilogram was used to cut more for a few human cubs. There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and even the air became heated.
The cut cakes sold by the old man in white clothes are different from the cut cakes sold in the city. The ones he sells are made of glutinous rice + red dates, just like the fillings of jujube rice dumplings. However, the jujube rice dumplings are wrapped in reed leaves and twisted into specific shapes for sale. The cut cake is cut into pieces and sold.
"One piece of you~".
"This is yours~".
"Be careful not to drop it~".
The old man in white happily cut cakes for everyone. Each piece of cake was packed in a packaging bag. When "Bingzi" took his own piece of cake, he looked at the wooden board holding the cake and asked casually: "It occupies less than half of the board area and weighs 20 kilograms. Then when you just made it in the morning, the cut cake weighed more than 40 kilograms, right?"
"45 kilograms! It's 45 kilograms every day!" The old man in white smiled. Selling cakes all the year round made his knife very accurate. One cut is one kilogram, no more, no less.
"Hi~ 45 pounds, 15 yuan per pound, then selling all of them will cost 6... 675 yuan." Bingzi used the calculator that came with his mobile phone to calculate, and said in surprise: "The profit is 60%, then. Isn’t it just 405 yuan? 405 yuan a day, that’s more than 12,000 yuan a month! ".
His words attracted the attention of others, and the way they looked at the old man completely changed - they just thought that the old man was living a miserable and hard life, but now they found that the old man seemed to make much more than they did.
It turns out the clown is themselves.
"Oh, there are not so many." The old man in white clothes was very vigilant. He noticed that the eyes of the people around him were wrong and complained repeatedly: "The profit is not that high at all, and my wife is responsible for buying rice and dates at home, and removing and steaming and cutting the dates. Damn it, I only sell it when I go out in the morning and go back at night. If two people share it equally, then one person won’t make much money.
Besides, it’s not every day that you meet such an enthusiastic young man. It’s hard to sell the leftover cakes every day, so you basically just eat them yourself. If there are too many left over, the probability of losing money is very high. ".
Everyone suddenly realized that this seemed to be the case.
Li Shu smiled and said nothing. He felt that the old man's words were half true and half false, because the old man used a high-end mobile phone that cost several thousand yuan more!
Many young people borrow money to buy high-end mobile phones. It is possible to use installment payment, credit card, etc., so if a young person uses a high-end mobile phone, it does not prove that they are rich.
But the elderly are different. Most of the elderly are keen on saving money and living a careful life. They will only consider high consumption after they have considerable assets.
Li Shu felt that his guess might be wrong, but the probability of it was very low.
After everyone divided and cut the cakes, they dispersed. Li Shu also carried a pound of cut cakes and the big yellow dog and walked home. "Er Gou" went with Li Shu on the last part of the way. His wife was already urging him to go home for dinner with a pale face. .
"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away and bring you delicious food!" Ergou said with a smile.
"You brought me delicious food? When did you buy me delicious food? The sun came out in the west?" Ergou's wife weakened on the phone, and actually said with a touch of tenderness: "Then hurry up Come back, I will put the rice on the table to dry.".
Since your husband has brought you delicious food, you can't yell at him, right
Beep~
After hanging up the phone, Ergou said happily: "Give this piece of cake to my wife to eat. She will be happy for a long time!"
After a slight pause, Ergou said again: "Then... she will definitely not stop me from fishing! Ashu, let's go fishing tonight! It's in our river! We can definitely catch big fish! Maybe we can still We caught the bastard! ".
"Uh, go fishing in the middle of the night? You're not afraid of falling into the river." Li Shu was very moved. He had the experience of fishing in the middle of the night, but he had never gone fishing in the middle of the night.
"No, the ice in the river is very thick, as you just saw, and I have a full set of tools there!" Ergou may have been a cat that was greedy for fish in his previous life, so he is particularly active in catching fish in this life. .
"Okay, let's go fishing at night!" Li Shulian agreed.
"Haha, let's set off at 10 o'clock in the middle of the night. I'll go home for dinner first."
"go Go.".
Li Shu went home and steamed the cut cake and ate it with his grandma. On the other hand, Ergou also returned home.
Ergou's wife is a good cook. It was because of her good cooking that she conquered Ergou's mother and successfully stood out from many blind dates - Ergou's family has good financial conditions, and he doesn't have to worry about finding someone. Not to my wife.
At the dining table in the living room.
Ergou's wife took a bite of the cake and ate it, her eyes lit up: "It tastes very good. Ergou, have you been reborn again? You feel that your previous life owed me something, so you have to be kind to me to compensate me?" .
Ergou: “… “.
"Honey, what are you talking about?" Ergou's face was full of dark lines. His home was a three-story villa, and the crystal chandelier illuminated the restaurant very brightly. He rubbed his hands and said, "Well, ahem, that... ".
"What are you doing?" Ergou's wife frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she started to tremble slightly with anger: "Are you messing around outside and taking other women's You’re pregnant, now come and confess to me?”.
"Fuck...fuck!" Ergou was extremely shocked: "Honey, what are you thinking about? I just want to go fishing later!"
"Oh, it was a false alarm." Ergou's wife said with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "You are fishing... You are not allowed to go!"
