Chapter Ninety-six: This wave of filial piety and great fortune(1/2)
Mei You took Wei Meili's question home to think about it, and before leaving, she brought back two pieces of soil soap.
After Meiyou left, Meiberry was thinking about sorting out the recipes given by the system in the afternoon.
After a day or two, I will talk to Mei You about my improvement, and it will be a matter of course.
"Let me see, if this soap is really made like this and made in a small workshop, it won't make much money."
Mei Mei went to the vegetable garden with Wei Meili for a walk, and her mother had a handful of beans and a cucumber in her hands.
When she returned to the kitchen, she asked Meiberry for some dried bamboo shoots that she had put away and soaked them in water.
During this process, the mother and daughter also talked a lot.
While folding beans, she talked about it with Mayberry again.
"Ah? Mom, why did you say that?"
"First, cost. How much does it cost to make soap from lard? Unless there is a low-priced oil as a substitute. But now maybe there is not.
Secondly, the only function of this earthen soap is to wash clothes and remove dirt. It is indeed very practical for ordinary people, but practicality and price cannot be balanced at the same time. The rich dislike its smell, and the poor dislike its price.
If there are not many raw materials and the price is cheap, soap can indeed achieve small profits but quick turnover.
But having said that, judging from the current situation, how much lard can be produced? How many can you make to make back the money?
Even if we talk about using other fats later, people these days are short of oil and water in their stomachs and can’t put much oil into their mouths, let alone how to make soap.”
Wei Meili hit the nail on the head, and Mei Berry was thoughtful after hearing this. She helped her mother peel the garlic, and started chatting with the system in her heart:
[So, you planned to give me this recipe, right? Homemade soap doesn’t make money, so you just use the recipe to make the heroine make a lot of money?]
This time the system responded with silence again, but Mayberry did not give the system a chance to pretend to be dead.
She then asked, "Your system is really stupid. You want me to work two jobs with one reward? I'll just clock in, but you still want me to help you correct the plot?"
[Host, how can the act of increasing enjoyment be called correcting the plot? The reward for your check-in is related to the enjoyment. The more enjoyable the plot is, the more rewards you will get? 】
What the system said was so arrogant that Mei Berry almost died laughing after hearing it.
[For things like soap, of course, the most enjoyable mode is to invest in technical shares, and you will be divided into monthly shares~ So what does it mean to buy and sell in the original article? 】
As the system spoke, Grandpa Meiberry Subway looked at his phone.
[After a one-time transaction, there won’t be too much causality involved. How difficult is it to find a reliable partner who is really willing to take one’s shares to make money?
What if she is cheated? The heroine’s deal is over in one fell swoop. As long as the money she gets is genuine, she will have other ways to make money in the future, so don’t be afraid at all, right?]
"Innovation" ability is the greatest wealth.
[If you can’t find someone reliable, you can’t find it. If the heroine is looking for it, how can you say she can’t find it?]
Mayberry:???
[Besides, I’ll give you a chance to do business with the heroine and you’ll make a profit. Why do you still doubt me when I give you a hidden benefit like this? 】
The system said aggrievedly, "The food is put in your mouth. Think about it, from now on, relying on soap, you can make money every month, every year..."
[You can pull it down!] Meiberry refused to draw a cake, [You make money every year? You are still fooling me, didn't you say that after the novel, there will be troubled times? In troubled times, it is not enough to survive, how can you make money?]
[Oh, host, you can’t say that. In these troubled times, is there anyone who can afford soap? 】
Hearing this, Mei Berry clicked her tongue.
A secret "hate the rich" mentality quietly arises in my heart.
[What do you mean, "the wine and meat of the rich family smells bad, and the roads freeze to death"? 】
In fact, Mayberry has already vaguely improved their soap, and it will soon become another popular luxury product for wealthy families.
But when she thought about the troubled times that followed, countless people lived a homeless life, but some people still used these soaps, Mei Berry felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.
[In fact, this soap itself is a daily chemical product. It is affordable and can be used by ordinary people...]
Meiberry lowered her eyes, and after saying this to the system, she suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh, laughing at her sudden sensibility.
At the moment, she should do the things at hand first, and the most important thing is to use soap to make a good profit with Mei You.
"Berry, when you've peeled the garlic, remember to give it to me."
When Mei Bei came back to her senses, Wei Meili had already folded the beans and was looking at the garlic in her hand.
Mei Qiang lowered her head and saw that the garlic had been peeled into pits.
"ah……"
Guiltily putting the chopped garlic she had peeled into pieces into the vegetable basket, Meiberry smiled awkwardly at her mother, then changed the subject and asked: "What should we eat for lunch today?"
"Stir-fried beans with garlic, dried bamboo shoots, sliced meat, and cucumbers, um... steamed multigrain rice. Cook the rice first, and wait until your dad comes back to cook the vegetables."
"Oh, by the way! Why hasn't my dad come back yet?"
Listening to her mother's words, Meiberry suddenly realized that it was already noon and her father hadn't come back yet.
"I heard from Mei You that my father went to his old house to pay his respects..."
Before Mei Bei finished speaking, Wei Meili couldn't help but burst into laughter, and Mei Bei couldn't hold back her laughter either.
We are all a family, who doesn’t know who’s character?
Filial piety?
Well, with her father's urinary nature, it would be really annoying if he could not make her grandfather angry to death.
"But having said that, it does take a long time~ He won't really do anything to make him popular, right?"
After all, he is also his biological father. If something happens to him, their family will really be left with nothing to eat.
"How about we go take a look?"
Seeing the worried look on his mother's face, Meiberry's suggestion was quickly adopted.
Just as mother and daughter had just gone out, Mei Youqian came back right at this moment.
Compared with the past when he came back from the Mei family's old house, her father looked like a victorious cock, but today he looked exactly the opposite.
His face was dejected, as if the eggplant had been beaten by frost.
"what happened?"
When Mei Mei and Wei Meili saw this, they immediately took them home. Mei Youqian didn't say anything along the way, and he reflected on his performance during this period of time.
Is it because too much has gone smoothly, and his heart has expanded to the point where he already feels that he is invincible in the world on the road to excellence?
As a result, everything turned upside down today!
After Mei Youqian entered the room, he took the honeysuckle tea poured by his daughter and drank it in one gulp. After that, he still kept a stinky face and said nothing.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why do you look like this?"
Mayberry asked again, but all she got was an angry snort from her father, who was still unwilling to speak.
"My daughter is asking you something. Talk! Why are you pretending to be a turnip?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a snap.
Mei Berry saw her mother give her father a big blow.
Immediately, her father opened his mouth: "Well, it's that old man. He bought four fucking acres of land two days ago!"
Mei Youqian was so angry that he didn't even say father, but just said "that old man".
"What?" Mei Bei couldn't hold it back and swore in front of his father.
Suddenly, her parents both looked towards her.
Mayberry:0.0
"Um, um, where did she get the money?"
In order to prevent her sudden swearing behavior from attracting further attention from her parents, Mayberry quickly changed her target.
"He said it was the money the boss earned from working outside."
After saying this, Mei Youqian couldn't help but sneer, "Boss, if you have this ability, the third child and I would have been exhausted for eight lifetimes because of the endless planting of fields! There is also the matter of our family traveling through time.
?”
Mayberry: "..."
Your angle is a bit tricky, Dad!
If there are too many fields, it may be possible to recruit people, but it will not tire people to death.
"According to what you said, the land purchase money is the old man's and his own private money?" Wei Meili also put suspicion on old man Mei.
Her mother-in-law didn't seem to know that the family had extra money.
If I had known, I wouldn't have been able to do those ridiculous things before.
"Yes, in this case, wouldn't we have suffered a loss when we separated?" Mei Youqian slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Not only did we get less money, but we also gave them four more acres of land to plant! Ah, I have such a bad temper! No way.
, I want to seek justice from the village chief!"
"What kind of justice are you asking for? Can you prove that it was his private money and not given by the boss?" Wei Meili grabbed her husband and asked him to calm down.
