NOVEL WEB Chapter 53 Drawing Lots
But everyone's looks really made her uncomfortable, so she could only lower her head and stop looking at anyone.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'll say it."
The old lady took out a few pieces of earth-yellow stuff and showed it to everyone: "This is something my daughter made, and it's called soap.
The last time I asked you to do business, I just wanted to sell this, but you were unwilling to enter the business.
But our family has many places to spend money, and we don’t want to enter business, so we can only draw lots.
From now on, whichever house draws lots will go to the town and sell it once, and they won’t sell too much.
In this way, it is not considered doing business, so there is no need to enter a merchant house. "
"That's it? Is it really better than bath beans? But mother, we haven't used bath beans, how do we know if they are really better than bath beans?"
Wang took a piece of soap and turned it over and over.
Su Daya and Su Erya also watched carefully.
"Erya, go outside and get a rag and a basin of water." The old lady looked at Su Erya who was sitting by the door and shouted.
Then, the old lady used soap to wash the dirty rag in front of everyone.
"Smell and see."
Su Qiumei looked at everyone and passed around the freshly washed rag, she reminded.
"What does it smell like? It smells pretty good."
When Mr. Qian saw the old lady, she just rubbed it a few times, and the dirty rag was washed clean.
She was very curious, so she lowered her head obediently and went to smell the rag.
"This is the scent of soap. You can use this to wash your hair and face, etc.," Su Qiumei replied.
"This thing is really good. With this, I don't have to spend a lot of effort to pat the clothes when washing clothes in the future."
Mrs. Wang was so happy that she held the soap in her hand and was unwilling to let go.
"Sold for fifty cents each."
Hearing the price quoted by Su Qiumei, Wang almost lost her grip on the soap in her hand.
Holding fifty cents of soap, her hands felt hot.
Su Qiumei saw Wang's actions, and she felt contempt for Wang in her heart.
However, she didn't show it on the face.
"It's so expensive, will anyone buy it?" Su Tieniu asked worriedly.
"A small bath bean can be sold for thirty cents. This is more convenient to use than bath beans and is more durable."
"Okay, okay, don't say my old lady is unfair, we will start drawing lots today, and whoever is drawn will sell it today.
It only costs thirty yuan each time. We are not businessmen, and we don’t dare to go long. We first go to the town and try to sell.
Each piece is fifty cents, and you can get five cents for every dollar sold.
If all are sold, you will receive one hundred and fifty coins for yourself, and the remaining money will be given to your family. "
The old lady said that when she collected one hundred and fifty coins, her heart ached.
It's just that she can't help but listen to her daughter, who is a smart and capable person.
"Mom, Ling'er and I are used to living in poverty, so we won't earn this money."
Although Li Qingluo was a little curious about the soap.
However, it is not as convenient as her purification technique.
Su Ling especially looked at those earthy soaps that were earthy and rough in appearance.
She really didn't like it at all. She just exchanged it for a piece in the system, and the appearance and efficacy were much better than what Su Qiumei made.
"If you don't want to make money, you have to go." The old lady became tough: "Don't forget, you are still a member of the Su family and live in the Su family."
"Mom, let's go see what delicious food there is in the town? Find some inspiration." Su Ling pulled Li Qingluo and whispered in her ear.
After hearing that she was looking for inspiration to make food, Li Qingluo compromised. As for...she looked at the pile of soap and raised her lips: Will it be difficult to solve it?
"Third brother and sister, it's not up to you whether you want to earn this money or not. Even if you want to go, it still depends on whether you can get it."
Ms. Wang felt that Li Qingluo was too fake and said that she didn’t want to make money. Who would believe her?
When Su Daya saw her mother's eager expression, she felt that her chances of selling soap in the town were not high.
She looked at the soap and then at Li Qingluo, and bravely said to the old lady: "Mistress, if I don't want to go, I can go."
The old lady glanced at her, deliberately distorted her meaning and asked: "You earn one yuan and five cents, will you give me a third bedroom?"
"Why? Da Ya belongs to our eldest family. The money she earns must belong to our eldest family."
Before Su Daya could answer, Qian rushed to answer.
After hearing what the old lady said, Su Daya didn't dare to argue anymore. She would never die if she was asked to help the third room earn money in vain.
"Mom, my third brother and sister don't want to sell, so why not..."
"Go, we agree to go."
Before Qian finished speaking, everyone could hear Li Qingluo's change of mind clearly.
Qian Shi glanced at her and said, right? Who doesn’t like silver?
What did you say just now that you are used to living in poverty, you don’t want to make money, and you don’t know who you want to pretend to be arrogant?
Qian was extremely disdainful in his heart.
The old lady opened a cloth bag and called each of them to go up and take out the small bamboo sticks inside. The circled ones meant that they were drawn.
Not to mention Li Qingluo, as long as Su Ling is willing to do this little trick of drawing lots, which lot does she want to win? You will definitely be able to draw out whichever lot you want.
There is no need for a master like Li Qingluo to do it.
Wang was very happy when she saw that there were no circles in the lot drawn by Qian.
This showed that they still had a chance, but she saw Su Tiezhu and Qian's unkind eyes.
She looked at the bag in front of her and hesitated.
If her luck is as bad as Qian's and she fails to win, Su Tieniu will definitely blame her.
She didn't reach into the bag in front of her, but pushed the cycad.
Now the first person to draw lots was Qian, who felt a little embarrassed.
"Dad, why are you hesitating? What time is it now?" Wang reminded him.
Su Tieniu thought about it, if it could give his family the opportunity to earn extra money, why not fight for it?
This was not the time to save face, so I reached into the bag.
Seeing Su Ling's little move, Li Qingluo pretended not to see it.
In order to go to town openly and find inspiration for cooking delicious food, even if Su Ling didn't do those little tricks, she would do it herself.
Just as Su Tieniu took the bamboo stick out of the bag, Wang reached out and snatched the bamboo stick from Su Tieniu's hand.
Mrs. Wang looked at the bamboo stick from one end to the other, and from one side to the other. She looked several times but couldn't find a circle mark.
"Second brother and sister, don't look at it. If you look at the lot again, it won't turn out to be a circle."
Qian finally spoke in revenge. Just now Wang laughed at her for being unlucky.
Wang ignored Qian's cynicism and looked at it again without giving up.
Su Tieniu glared at Wang.
Mrs. Wang didn't understand. It was Su Tieniu who drew the lot, so why did he glare at her like Su Tiezhu glared at Mr. Qian?
However, she didn't dare to ask when the old lady was around.
"Mom, do we still need to smoke?" Li Qingluo asked when she saw Wang holding the bamboo stick tightly and looking like she wouldn't put it back until the flowers came out.
