The Little Lucky Girl

Chapter 108 Small Business

Ming Youyou exclaimed: "Chef Hong is really idealistic."

She felt that Brother Xiao Hong had said so much and really treated her as one of his own, so she couldn't be vague, "You know we usually sell snacks to students, right? How about you guys join in?"

Master Xiao Hong's eyes lit up, and he said embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to tell you this, but my uncle doesn't think it's a good idea."

"It's okay. We only have a limited amount of stuff, and it's not enough for everyone. You guys can just make up for it."

Climbing up the mountain was very tiring. Each of them could only carry one package, as their bodies would not be able to handle more.

Thinking of Chef Hong's honest smile and the many dishes he served her today, even though the dishes were quite unpalatable, Ming Youyou said with determination, "Why don't you give this business to you? Just sell it in the cafeteria, and it will be convenient for students to buy it."

Master Xiao Hong was touched, but still refused. "When I delivered meals to the teachers, I heard them occasionally talk about meals."

"The teachers said that if we eat only 70% to 80% full at noon, the qi and blood will not all rush into the stomach, and the brain can still remain clear. In addition, the cost of the meal can be reduced, which can reduce the burden on poor students."

"Some teachers also suggested selling some snacks in the canteen after the two classes in the afternoon. However, the headmaster thought that if the canteen is open, it will be like lunch, and everyone will flock to it. Students who don't go may make people feel that they are not sociable, which will add to the burden."

Ming Youyou blinked and said, "So, I do have a solution."

Oh, it felt like her sneaky little business suddenly became bigger.

Master Xiao Hong smiled and didn't say everything the teachers said.

The teachers also think that this small private business is good. Students who need it can buy it, and students who don’t want to spend money can just bear with it.

Moreover, this is not the behavior of the academy. If they feel that something is not good, they can ban it at any time. It is not considered as changing their mind overnight.

Master Xiao Hong thought Ming Youyou was a really nice person, and he wanted to return the favor. "Do you freshmen have an assignment to find new and exotic food? My uncle knows a lot. Do you want him to help you?"

“No need,” Ming Youyou thanked him, “My grandfather should know too. We’ll go back and ask him today.”

After finishing their meal, she and Feng Xu strolled down the mountain. They waited for a long time before they saw Zheng Huan and Lu Tai coming over.

The two of them went to the back mountain to deliver a cake to the clan elder, and were kept back for a long time to take exams before being allowed to leave.

Feng Xu had just been complaining about them not waiting for him, but now his face was filled with secret joy.

Zheng Huan glanced at him and said, "We told the old man that you want to take the B class exam. The old man decided to help you and asked you to go to him after class every day."

Feng Xu widened his eyes.

Ming Youyou was so amused that she stretched out her hand to Zheng Huan and asked, "Where's my reward?"

Zheng Huan handed her a piece of paper, and she opened it with great anticipation, "Hey, why is this poem only half written?"

"The elder said that your cake was good enough, and the words he gave you were also good enough."

Ming Youyou was disappointed. "You can't say it's a deal. Green peaches and red peaches are different."

“But the sauce made with sugar tastes almost the same,” Lu Tai revealed.

She sighed, thinking that the old man had very high requirements.

The four people got on the carriage and were about to set off when they saw a man running towards them panting.

Cheng Xiaoan bowed to them and said, "Zheng, Brother Zheng Huan, I heard that you are going to the county town, can you give me a ride?"

Zheng Huan said: "We are going to Dafeng Village today, but it is also on the way."

Several people pulled him into the carriage.

Cheng Xiaoan was a student in Class B, so he was naturally very familiar with Ming Youyou and the other two. Only Feng Xu was someone he had rarely seen.

Zheng Huan nervously introduced him, "This is my good brother Feng Xu, also from Beijing."

Cheng Xiaoan immediately bowed cordially and introduced himself without any strange expression.

Zheng Huan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn’t think of those three.

Before going to the academy, they were a little worried about their reputation and even went to see Magistrate Tao to consider whether they should take a pseudonym.

Magistrate Tao said that was not necessary, as the Bailu Academy had a rule that one was not allowed to discuss the students' family background, and everything depended on their own abilities.

Besides, Lord Tao narrowed his eyes and said, if you feel embarrassed, you should find a way to regain your face.

They gave up the idea of ​​changing their names, but they were still teenagers after all, and they were still shy. They worked very hard during this period, hoping to leave a good impression before their classmates recognized them.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoan sweating profusely from running, Ming Youyou handed him a bamboo tube and said, "Drink some water and relax."

Cheng Xiaoan thanked him, took it and drank it, then hesitantly took out a sachet from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is for you."

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned cold.

Feng Xu had just met him and they had no friendship yet, so he said bluntly: "You are not young anymore, don't you know that you can't just give girls gifts casually?"

How dare you give sachets to them? Are you asking for a beating?

Cheng Xiaoan's face immediately turned red. "I, that's not what I meant. This was made by my mother, and I wanted to ask if she could help sell it for me."

Oh, several people understood, and the atmosphere eased again, "Why didn't you make it clear earlier."

Cheng Xiaoan carefully wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked up at Ming Youyou with anticipation.

Ming Youyou took the sachet and sniffed it, "Is it filled with mosquito repellent?"

Cheng Xiaoan nodded. "This is the medicine bag my mother bought at Jinxiufang. It is very useful. I won't get bitten when I wear it in the bushes. People in our village say it can also drive away snakes."

Zheng Huan and the other two bit their lips and laughed, thinking that the gift had gone to the person who sold it.

Ming Youyou was very happy. The more people bought the sachet, the more dividends she would get. She looked at the embroidery on the sachet and said, "Your mother's craftsmanship is really good."

Cheng Xiaoan is also very proud, "My mother grew up in Suzhou and Hangzhou and learned embroidery from a young age."

He took a deep breath and said quickly, "This sachet will be cheaper than the one sold at Jinxiufang, so there should be people in the academy who will buy it. How about you help me sell it and we split the profits in half?"

Ming Youyou asked in confusion: "Since you think someone will buy it, why don't you just sell it yourself?"

Cheng Xiaoan's face turned red again, and he stammered and couldn't speak.

Feng Xu asked: "But do you feel embarrassed if others find out?"

"Of course not," Cheng Xiaoan said loudly immediately, "My mother worked hard, and we are selling it openly. Why should we be ashamed? It's just that, for some reason, I just can't bring myself to shout out that I want to sell it."

Zheng Huanlu Tai patted him sympathetically, knowing that he was shy and would be very nervous when asked questions by the teacher, let alone selling in public.

Ming Youyou learned about the attitudes of the masters from Brother Xiao Hong, and now he has enough confidence to do business. "No problem, just bring it to me."

One is for sale, a bunch are for sale too, and I’ll bring her facial cream later. Hehe.

"But Brother Xiaoan, are you really going to the county town, or are you just going to talk to us?"

Cheng Xiaoan smiled embarrassedly.

They said they understood and laughed as they escorted him out of the car.
