893 Working Together to Get Rich
“Alright, it’s time for us to go. I’ve taken note of what you told me. I’ll go back and make the arrangements within the next two days,” Xia Wen said.
“Sorry for the trouble, eldest brother,” Qiao Mei said.
The entire family stood at the door and sent Zheng Peng and Xia Wen off. Xia He shouted after Xia Wen, “Remember to bring me delicious food the next time you come! Otherwise, I’ll complain to Mother! I’ll say that you don’t buy delicious food for Qiao Mei!”
At the moment, as long as it was something related to Qiao Mei, Xu Lan would definitely take it seriously even if she had to go through hell and high water. Even if it was something that she could not do, she would still ask others for help.
The entire family only doted on Qiao Mei at the moment.
Xia Wen waved his hand and quickly got into the car. Xia He looked at the departing car and sighed. “Eldest brother is so stingy. His situation seems worse after being promoted. He’s so busy every day.”
“Aren’t you happy about eldest brother’s promotion? Hurry up and go into the house. It’s snowing outside. Aren’t you afraid of getting frozen?” Qiao Mei said as she patted Xia He’s shoulder.
“Why are you nagging me? I should be the one saying this to you!” Xia He said.
The two of them bantered noisily as they went back into the house. Xia He still had to go to the art troupe in the afternoon to settle some matters and would only be back at night. Li Gui had nothing to do, so she came to discuss her future business plan with Qiao Mei. She looked at the pile of corn in the backyard and felt a little angry. She had only made money for a few days and now she could not do it anymore.
Li Gui had taken Qiao Mei’s words to heart. She had decided to nurture these children’s interests and hobbies, but the fact that she could not go out to earn money was the most difficult thing.
“Mei Mei, now that I can’t go out and earn money, is there any other way to make money? If there’s really no other way, I’ll go to the restaurant at the entrance of the alley to wash the dishes. It’s better to have some income, otherwise it’s all just expenses,” Li Gui said.
Qiao Mei had also thought about this matter. The situation was a little tense at the moment, so it was not convenient for Li Gui to go and set up the stall. There were too many pairs of eyes on her.
When the economy opened up some time later, she would rent a shop space for Li Gui to do business. This way, it would be much better than setting up a stall every day.
“Didn’t Zhao Fei say not long ago that he wants to work with us? Let’s sell the things to him,” Qiao Mei said.
“Will Zhao Fei agree? At that time, he said that he wanted to sell seeds with us. How can we sell him popcorn instead?” Li Gui said awkwardly.
The popcorn was made from their family’s unique recipe. If Zhao Fei learned how to do it, she would not be able to sell it in the future. Zhao Fei would snatch away many of her customers.
“We’ll give him the finished product. He can decide if he wants to do this business,” Qiao Mei said.
Zhao Fei had been running his stall for many years. If he said that he was the best peddler in the area, no one would dare to dispute that. He knew very well which product sold well in various places in the capital.
Qiao Mei needed such a person to work with them. Zhao Fei must have some kind of outstanding abilities to be able to set up a stall for so many years and not get caught. Such unique skills would not be taught to others.
The quality and taste of their popcorn and seeds were the best on the market and were also the most popular. Whoever sold the items would get rich. If Zhao Fei worked with them, it would definitely be a profitable business for him.
Zhao Fei had his own unique sales method and they had unique products. If the two parties worked together, they would definitely succeed.
Li Gui took out the piece of paper that Zhao Fei had given her previously. The handwriting on it was already a little smudged. Li Gui went to the public phone booth at the entrance of the alley to call him and she had to try a few times before she finally got the right number.
“Hello? Who is it?” Zhao Fei picked up the phone and asked impatiently.
“I’m Li Gui,” Li Gui said softly.
Zhao Fei immediately perked up and said excitedly, “Oh my! Sister! Are you calling me with news?”
“I just want to talk to you about what we spoke before. Let’s have lunch in the afternoon. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?” Li Gui asked.
There was nothing inconvenient about earning big money. Zhao Fei agreed without a second thought and Li Gui arranged to meet him at the entrance of the cinema.
Not only was Zhao Fei half an hour earlier than the agreed time, but he also brought a glass bottle filled with hot water for Li Gui to warm her hands.
He was worried that the glass bottle would get cold so he even stuffed it into his clothes to keep it warm using his own body temperature.
