After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 183 The Mu Family's Reluctance

Cheng Zishi hummed, "This is simpler and doesn't require as much material."

If you want to make fried meatballs and sweet potato cakes, you need a lot of oil.

Oil is a very precious good thing for farmers.

Mu Baobao's focus was different. "Uncle, when can we eat sweet potato steamed cake?"

Cheng Zishi pinched her face and teased, "Do you like eating so much?"

Mu Baobao hummed heavily, "I like it!"

Cheng Zishi has seen many children, some of whom like to eat, but this is the first time he has seen a baby like this, who is not picky about food but likes to eat.

"Even if you like to eat, don't eat too much. Be careful of indigestion."

It is terrible for children to have overeating.

Furthermore, children have no restraint when eating and will eat as much as they can.

Mu Baobao pouted, looking a little unhappy. "I know I can't eat anything randomly or too much."

"My grandma always told me that."

Every time she eats, her family will remind her.

Cheng Zishi laughed, "Okay, okay, it's my fault."

"Let's get on with business."

Mu Baobao suddenly became happy. "Uncle, we have already decided to sell steamed cakes. What else is there to say?"

Cheng Zishi said, "Selling steamed cakes is not like selling barbecue. There are many things to pay attention to."

“First of all, it has to be clean and tidy.”

Mu Baobao hummed, "My barbecue shop is pretty clean."

Cheng Zishi said that it was not just that. "I think you should wear an apron and something on your face to prevent saliva."

"There must be people selling sweet potato steamed cakes, so you have to start from different aspects to make it memorable."

"This way, more and more people will come to buy your things in the future."

After listening to this, Mu Baobao touched his belly and then his mouth, "Will there be saliva?"

Cheng Zishi was not surprised that she was like this. Among the children in the village, only a few could be as clean as the baby.

However, the Mu family still failed to pay attention to some aspects.

"There will be."

He patiently explained, "It's hard for us to notice it normally, and most people don't care."

“But some people will care.”

"If we pay more attention to this aspect, there might be unexpected results."

He thought that Baobao's business would grow bigger and bigger, so he had to take all kinds of precautions from the beginning.

Mu Baobao didn’t quite understand, but she knew it was right to listen to the uncle.

"We have aprons at home."

She touched her face and asked, "Uncle, what is that on your face?"

Cheng Zishi said, "Some doctors know how to use it. You can buy one and make a few yourself with better cloth."

"This thing needs to breathe."

"If you don't breathe, you'll suffocate."

When Mu Baobao heard this, he covered his mouth with his hands.

But Cheng Zishi pulled her hand down, and said with a stern face, "Baby, you can't do this."

"If a person holds his breath for too long, it's bad for the brain."

When Mu Baobao heard this, he was terrified and kept saying that he would not dare to do it again. "I don't want to be stupid."

People with poor brains are stupid and can't eat many good things.

Cheng Zishi tapped her forehead twice, "I'm glad you know."

"Baby, your house is done, show it to me."

Mu Baobao agreed obediently.

Cheng Zishi added, "I'll have someone give you the recipe for sweet potato steamed cakes tomorrow."

"You can research it first, and when you make something that tastes good, you can sell it in town."

Mu Baobao looked at his elder brother.

Mu Pingping bowed and said, "Sir, I'll take note of that."

Cheng Zishi said, "Pingping, you have to learn the rules and etiquette quickly."

"If your family gets better off in the future, you'll inevitably have to interact with wealthy families, and then your rules and etiquette will become something others will find fault with."

The larger the family, the more importance it places on rules and etiquette.

It’s not that big families are superior, but that rules and etiquette represent a family’s upbringing, etc.

Mu Pingping has studied under Cheng Zishi for so long that he is no longer the child from the village. He has gained more knowledge and understanding.

"Sir, I understand."

But Mu Baobao wanted to cry. She didn't want to learn rules and etiquette.

She couldn't stand the mere standing position.

……

After learning about Cheng Zishi's proposal, the Mu family decided to add another business without any hesitation.

Don’t say it’s hard work. Making money is hard, and making money this way is much better than digging for food in the fields.

night.

The whole family gathered together to chat.

Two oil lamps were lit in the main room.

One lamp is for children like Mu Baobao to practice calligraphy.

Thanks to the paper and pen that Zheng Xingguang used, children like Mu Baobao can now practice writing on paper at home and no longer have to be so frugal.

Baby Mu held a small brush in his hand in a serious manner, sat on a special low stool, and practiced calligraphy very seriously, stroke by stroke.

Mu Pingping and other children sat around a big table, practicing calligraphy either seriously or scratching their heads.

Father Mu took a few puffs of his pipe before he started talking: "There are three businesses at home. We have to divide them up, otherwise we will all be very tired."

"Don't worry too much about the barbecue. There are several other families helping out. We only need one person from our family."

Boss Mu and the others had no objection. As long as the barbecue ingredients were in their hands, there was nothing to worry about.

Mu Laodi continued, "As for selling the medicine, two people will do it."

"As for the sweet potato steamed cakes... I'm not sure if this business will be good yet, so I'll arrange for two people first."

Zhu said, "Old man, the children need to study and cannot help with the business."

"You and I have to take care of the farm work, and two of us have to stay at home. That way, there will only be four people to run the business."

"Not enough."

Father Mu frowned, "There aren't enough to go around."

"Then do business with the villagers."

Zhu was shocked, "Old man, you still want to do business with the village."

"We finally found a way to make money and do business with the villagers... this..."

Boss Mu and his companions looked at each other, feeling somewhat reluctant.

There is nothing we can do about the barbecue business, after all, something like that happened.

Father Mu said unhappily, "Do you think I want to?"

"We have to think long-term."

He analyzed, "First of all, our family is already the envy of others in the surrounding villages because of our business and education."

The Zhu family members were well aware of this. Not to mention people from other villages, even in the village, there were many people who envied and jealous of their family, and they often said sour words behind their backs.

But her family runs a barbecue business and is in the village chief's family, and she has the protection of Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng, so those villagers only dare to say sour words.

Father Mu said, "You have to understand that only when our interests are aligned will the villagers stand on our side."

"For example, the Zhang family."

"Look at the Zhang family now. They protect our family everywhere and take the initiative to do many things."

“That’s the benefit of having a common interest.”

The Zhu family members understood.

Zhu asked, "Old man, should we recruit a few more villagers to help us sell steamed cakes?"
