Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

After dinner, Xiuniang went back directly.

Xia Yingying had some money with her. She had originally planned to pay Xiuniang the same wage as a laborer in the county town, so as to appreciate her helping her in the store all day. But the last time Lu Ziren went to her store to help, Xiuniang didn't pay her. Xia Yingying guessed that Xiuniang might not want to use money to exchange the value between them. But one thing is one thing, Xia Yingying still counted out eighty cents and gave it to Xiuniang. As expected, Xiuniang refused.

Xia Yingying didn't force him to give her the money.

Xiuniang is also her friend.

It is normal for friends to interact with each other, but you should also be careful about the degree. If you calculate too much, you will seem unfriendly, while if you don’t calculate enough, the relationship will easily break down.

Since Xiuniang refused, it meant that she really didn't want to accept Xia Yingying's money. If Xia Yingying insisted on giving her money, it would seem that there was estrangement between them and Xia Yingying no longer considered Xiuniang as a friend.

Xia Yingying originally planned to bring some cakes back for Xiuniang, but all the cakes sold today were sold out, with nothing left, so she did not bring any cakes for Xiuniang.

But the amount of pastries tomorrow will definitely not be as much as today.

Today is the first day of opening, and most people in the county have come to buy.

But half of the people may not like pastries, so Xia Yingying plans to make tomorrow's pastries in a slightly larger quantity than the first batch made yesterday.

There is no need to make pastries according to today's total sales volume. If too many pastries are made and cannot be sold out, they will not taste good after being stored for a long time, and it will damage the brand. This is not worth the effort.

After dinner, Qin Qingfeng, his junior fellow apprentice, and Jingjing also left. After dinner, Lu Ziren's face became a little heavy.

Today, when he was maintaining order, he found a very familiar face in the crowd. Logically speaking, that person was in the capital and should not appear in this county town, but when he wanted to confirm whether it was someone he knew, the person had already left.

What is he doing in the county town?

Are you here to find him?

No, if he came to see him, he should have gone straight to his house. How could he appear in the line to buy pastries?

The county town was peaceful during this period, except that Tang Qingye was on his way to the county town. Could it be that he came for Tang Qingye?

When they came to the restaurant, it was Xia Yingying who carried Lu Yurou on her back, and she did the same on the way back. Song Ruyi was very busy today, so Xia Yingying didn't give her any.

Seeing that Xia Yingying was having some difficulty holding Lu Yurou, Lu Ziren walked over and stretched out his hand to hug Lu Yurou. But as soon as Lu Yurou saw Lu Ziren's face, she immediately hugged Xia Yingying's neck tightly with her little arms. Her round head was already resting tightly on Xia Yingying's chest. She made baby sounds from her little mouth. Her faint eyebrows were squeezed into a ball, revealing a look of pain. She looked very disgusted with Lu Ziren.

There is some distance from the restaurant to the rented house. Xia Yingying ate a lot and was busy all day, so she was a little tired to walk. In addition, Lu Yurou had gotten enough nutrition recently and had grown a little taller, so she was plump and still felt heavy when she was hugged.

Xia Yingying was surrounded by people old and young. Lu Ziren had a gloomy face, and Xia Yingying didn't want to get into trouble, so she hugged Lu Yurou. But Lu Yurou was too heavy, and her hands became sore after holding her for a while.

Lu Ziren is willing to hug Lu Yurou, which Xia Yingying wants very much, but Lu Yurou doesn't want Lu Ziren to hug her, which is a problem.

"Arou, mother is very tired today. Can you let father hug you?" Xia Yingying said tentatively.

Lu Yurou can now listen to some of the words of adults, but whether she can understand them is another matter. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Yingying finished speaking, Lu Yurou nodded her little head heavily and hummed in a baby voice.

Xia Yingying was a little surprised, and then happily handed Lu Yurou to Lu Ziren.

Lu Yurou fell into Lu Ziren's arms, turned over, and faced Lu Ziren with her dark back of her head, opened her arms, and faced Xia Yingying.

When she got home, Xia Yingying started to prepare cakes.

Today, Xia Yingying collected the money and had an idea of ​​which pastries would sell well.

The whole family worked together and it took almost two hours to finish the work. After making the pastries, Xia Yingying took a bath and asked Lu Ziren to call the children to count the silver together.

Because there was a lot of silver this time, Xia Yingying strung twenty coins into a string just like she did in Qingshui Town before.

It is not easy to make mistakes when stringing twenty-cent coins together. If you string them together in batches of fifty or a hundred coin, it will be easier to make mistakes as the number is large. After stringing the twenty-cent coins together, Xia Yingying then stringed them into batches of one hundred or one thousand coin coins. This makes management easier.

After putting the money on the belt, Xia Yingying gave fifty cents to each of the three children, counted out ten cents for Lu Yurou, and asked Lu Yuwei to take eighty cents to Song Ruyi.

Xia Yingying gave Chen Yi a hundred cents as wages, because he did the hard work and asked Lu Haoran to hand it over to Chen Yi.

Seeing that Lu Yurou had all of these, Lu Haojie was a little unconvinced and asked Xia Yingying angrily, "Mom, my little sister didn't do anything today. She just sat there and played. Why do you have to give her money too? This is not fair."

Today he and his brothers and sisters all helped, so they got the money. If his younger sister just played and got the money, then why should he work and not choose to play and get the money?

He is very tired today and his back is wet.

Lu Haojie pouted his lips so much that you could hang a soy sauce bottle on them.

Xia Yingying couldn't help laughing at Lu Haojie's direct, pure and jealous words.

Xia Yingying couldn't help shaking her head, she touched Lu Haojie's head and said with a smile: "I'm giving you the wages for helping in the store today. Ah Rou is still young and can't make any money, but today she was very well behaved, eating and playing by herself, which is very worry-free. But because today is the first day of opening, everyone will get a red envelope. Your wages are 40 cents, and the extra 10 cents are a bonus for each of you. Xiaojie, according to what you said, do you want to give up the 10 cents? If you don't want it, I will take it back. This is also good, I can save some money."

As Xia Yingying spoke, she stretched out her hand and asked Lu Haojie for money.

Lu Haojie's face changed, and he immediately held tightly the money that Xia Yingying had just given him, fearing that Xia Yingying would take it away.

He shook his head repeatedly and said a few auspicious words to Xia Yingying, "It's for my little sister. Today is a good start. Everyone has money, and the store will also make a lot of money."

Seeing Lu Haojie's money-grubbing behavior, Xia Yingying nodded and said, "Well, okay, I'll do as you say. I won't take it. Your sister is still young and doesn't know how to use money. I'll leave these ten cents here for now."

After counting the money, Xia Yingying felt refreshed.

I made a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver today. After deducting labor and costs, I made a net profit of one hundred taels of silver.

This was money that Xia Yingying had never dared to imagine before.

The bulk of the money comes from sales of expensive pastries.

But the most popular items are the store’s biscuits and affordable pastries.

After all, people who are willing to spend a lot of money on food are generally not short of money. A few people who failed to buy the expensive food are planning to buy it tomorrow and have already made a reservation.

After the children left, Xia Yingying put the stringed money neatly back into the cash box. Lu Ziren closed the door, walked to the bed, bent over and stretched out his hand to Xia Yingying. "Please give me some money."
