Chapter 459: Business is not going well
What do you mean by making it clear with you? Jiang Yu was dumbfounded. "Those were your money in the first place. How can I say I'm making it clear with you if I give it back to you? I'm just returning the property to its original owner!"
"I don't want it!" Yi Chi knew from Jiang Yu's expression that she was not going to give in, so he simply stood up and ran away.
Ginger fish???
She looked at the shaking door, a little dazed.
No, what's going on? Is the money hot or something? She doesn't understand.
But the next second, Yi Chi came back again. Under Jiang Yu's frowning gaze, he held the small basket of food that she had just packed in his arms, and then quickly fled again.
Jiang Yu felt the veins on his forehead twitch twice and was speechless.
Is there anyone who doesn't want money these days? How weird! How weird!
She didn't understand and was deeply shocked. She threw down the things in her hands, closed the door, and continued to pack her things.
Yi Chi doesn't want money, so it's up to him. I can buy some more land or something as an investment and then transfer it to him.
After everything was sorted out, Jiang Yu finally had time to check the unexpected gains he had obtained from the islander.
The Buddha statue is still placed in the space. Although Jiang Yu has only a vague knowledge about antiques, he also knows that some things need special protection. Touching them directly or exposing them to the air for a long time is harmful to the antiques themselves.
Jiang Yu spread a piece of coarse cloth on the kang and poured another package on it.
Ancient coins? She moved the scattered objects with her hands, including island country banknotes, gold ingots, jade plaques, pearl and jade bracelets, and a pile of copper coins with obvious rust.
These should also be things collected by that islander, but their value should not be high, otherwise they would not be placed so casually.
Jiang Yu picked up the stack of island country banknotes and shook it. This money was meaningless to her. Not only did she have no place to exchange it, it might also cause her trouble, so she had to burn it. As for the other things, she put them all together with the things in the space and let them see the light of day again when the environment was relaxed!
After packing up, Jiang Yu looked at the watch. It was already 4:. She went out to collect the quilts and happened to meet Xue Li who came in with a tired face.
"Xue Li!" Jiang Yu called her quickly.
Xue Li, who had just come out of the alley, was immediately cheered up. She looked at Jiang Yu with shining eyes and said loudly in surprise, "Jiang Yu, you're back!!" After that, she put her bicycle aside, ran over and hugged her.
Jiang Yu caught the little girl who rushed over like a cannonball, and his brows relaxed. "I arrived at noon. You look very tired. What's wrong? Has business been bad recently?"
Xue Li immediately became dejected. "Someone in the city is trying to challenge me. My snacks are not selling well... I'm so annoyed."
Jiang Yu let go of Xue Li, asked her to stand, and went to help carry the bicycle over. "Open the door first, I'll put the bicycle in for you, and we'll sit down and talk."
"Oh, okay." Xue Li nodded obediently, pulled out the woolen rope with the key hanging on it from his collar, then bent down to open the door.
Jiang Yu followed her and put the bicycle into her room. "I'll go get some food and we can talk while we eat. No, I almost forgot my quilt. Wait for a moment."
"Then I'll boil some water. Don't worry. Put the quilt in place first." Xue Li has been busy with things outside recently and has not been able to take care of his family, so he didn't buy any snacks. He had to find the fruit and flower tea bags he drank from the space, so it took some time to prepare.
Jiang Yu went back to the room and washed his hands, then came out to put the quilt and towel back into the room, folded the quilt and placed it at the head of the bed, and hung the towel on the wire. After everything was put away, he took the plate to get the food.
Xue Li next to him also boiled water, then took out a tea bag of lemon blossom tea and put it into the kettle, and brewed it when the water boiled. Then he took out some roasted nuts such as pine nuts and peanuts from the bag of nuts that he had kept in the space for preservation, and placed them on the table.
When Jiang Yu brought over the snacks, all that was missing was a pot of hot water.
Xue Li asked her to sit for a while, "It seems a bit late for us to have snacks at this time."
"Are you hungry? If so, let's cook a bowl of noodles." Jiang Yu didn't care. She had eaten steamed buns from a state-owned restaurant for lunch, so she wasn't too hungry now.
Xue Li thought it was okay, "Let's have some noodles with meat sauce, scrambled eggs, and some greens. The greens that Angkor planted next to it are growing well."
"Then I'll go pick some vegetables, you boil water and cook the noodles first." Jiang Yu stood up.
There is not much difference between afternoon tea and dinner.
Only after the meat sauce noodles were served did the two have time to sit down and have a good chat.
Xue Li first poured a cup of scented tea for Jiang Yu, then mixed his noodles and asked her, "How do you feel about going out?"
"It's OK. It was a bit boring while traveling, but Fu Biao and his friends took me to eat a lot of delicious food and visit a lot of unique buildings. I was tired but happy at the same time." Jiang Yu took a sip of water and replied.
"Did you meet anyone special along the way?" Xue Li tasted his noodles and found them a little bland, so he got off the kang and poured some soy sauce and vinegar.
Jiang Yu shook his head. "I didn't notice it. I was just looking forward to what to eat next and didn't care about anything else. You just said that your business had problems. Is it easy to solve?"
"I probably need to change my mindset. To be honest, the roasted nuts business is only good around the New Year holidays, and the daily sales are not that high. There are now many roasted nuts vendors in the city, and the taste of their products is very similar to mine, and they have obvious advantages. Their prices are one cent cheaper than mine, which makes it hard to sell my products. Although I have signed an agreement with the cinema, their director's words in the afternoon implied that I should make some concessions on the price. If that's the case, I don't think there's much point in continuing the cooperation, and I'm thinking about doing something else." But the current situation is still not optimistic, so even if she changes her way, she will still be stuck in the throat, and Xue Li is a little bored.
"So why don't you consider cooperating with Fu Biao and others?" Jiang Yu asked her. She could understand that Xue Li didn't want to have close contact with Chen Jinghan, but her career was facing problems right now, so why wasn't she willing to find someone who could help?
"My volume means I'm not suitable for cooperation with them at this stage. They are in the business of small profits but quick turnover, and my scale is too small. Cooperating with them will make me very tired and I won't make any money." Xue Li shook her head. She should think of another way. If the roasted nuts business didn't work out, she could try something else. Anyway, the two brothers in the city cooperated well with her. If she had someone to help her, she would be under less pressure.
