Chapter 42
Clever Little You, Loves Mackerel

Xiao You quickly greeted the customers warmly.

They were all fat sheep, after all.

At first, she didn't quite understand selling food for money, but Xiao Bei Chang Tan had told her that 600 Dan could buy a five-jin bag of rice.

The four of them only ate one jin of rice per meal, and the profit from the steamed buns was about half, meaning that selling one steamed bun was enough for them to eat for a day.

To her, these customers were nothing but big fat sheep.

“Damn, only 100 steamed buns, how can that be enough? I want 10 three-flavor egg buns.”

“Go away, be a decent person at the front of the line. 100-plus buns and you want 10? Purchase limit, purchase limit, little sister, old rules, purchase limit.”

“Yes, yes, before it was 200 buns for a limit of 6, now it's 100-plus, so it's a limit of 4, right?”

Seeing the crowd so excited again, Xiao You was almost frightened, and she was speechless after hearing their requests.

“Okay, one person can buy a maximum of 4. Today we have three-flavor egg buns and golden ratio buns.”

Less than half an hour later,

all 100 steamed buns were sold out.

Xiao Qian sat in the driver's seat of the tricycle, counting the money. Beside her sat Xiao You, like a Dharma protector.

The milk uncle next door, who was being guarded by Xiao You, sat uncomfortably in his stall. The uncle twitched his lips, is this amount of money worth it? Can I even rob a little girl.

“Paper money received 86,000 Dan, coins received 7,000 Dan. Today's total income is 93,000 Dan.” Xiao Qian finally finished counting the pile of change and looked up at Xiao You.

“Xiao Qian, you're so fast at calculating!” Xiao You's eyes lit up. “The boss said we get a tenth of the net profit. Xiao Qian, calculate how much that is.”

“Mhm.”

“The flour was bought from the supermarket, costing 200 Dan per jin. Then there's pork, vegetables, crab eggs, vegetable oil... all the costs add up to a net profit of 223 Dan per three-flavor egg bun and a net profit of 260 Dan per golden ratio bun...”

“Wait, slow down.” Xiao You's head was spinning. “Just tell me how much we can take home today...”

“...”

Xiao Qian looked at her helplessly. “Our share adds up to 7,200 Dan.”

7,200 Dan.

Xiao You's eyes widened instantly. “That means we made 24 autumn swordfish today! We're rich!”

Xiao Qian looked at her expressionlessly, thinking, You just want to eat, you can calculate that fast enough.

“Don't forget, we still owe the boss a month's salary.”

Xiao You was stunned and immediately wilted. She quickly counted on her fingers. “7,200 Dan a day, thirty days in a month, 60,000 Dan is how many 3,600 Dan... 15, 13, three times six...”

Eventually, she cleverly gave up and asked Xiao Qian. “How long will it take us to pay back the boss?”

“Our share plus salary should be about half a month.”

“That fast?!” Xiao You's eyes widened in shock. “Selling steamed buns is so profitable? ...And how did you calculate these complex numbers?”

“Even a fool can calculate that!”

“Impossible!” Xiao You's eyes widened. “Then why can't I calculate it?”

“...”

Xiao You didn't have time to worry about whether Xiao Qian was a calculating prodigy. Instead, she stared with a dumbfounded expression. “Earning 24 autumn swordfish a day, the boss is ten times us, that's 240, if the profit were all ours, we wouldn't be able to eat it all, we wouldn't be able to eat it all...”

“Xiao You, wake up!” Xiao Qian shook her expressionlessly, ruthlessly shattering her fantasy. “We don't have the boss's skills, we wouldn't be able to make steamed buns at all!”

Of course, she also knew that Xiao You was just daydreaming. Just for the boss's kindness in bringing them here and the system contract, they couldn't possibly leave the boss and work on their own.

“Oh!”

“By the way, Xiao Qian, give me 2,000 Dan.”

“What are you getting money for? This is the boss's money, our share will be settled in a month.”

Xiao You smiled and scratched her head. “No, I had 4 steamed buns as my work meal. I didn't eat them, I sold them. This 2,000 Dan should be mine.”

She, Xiao You, was incredibly clever. The sandwiches at the shop next door were only 300 Dan each, and buying one would still fill her up for breakfast. 4 steamed buns for 2,000 Dan, the remaining money could buy a lot, lot of autumn swordfish.

The summer benefit of letting them try the heat, unexpectedly, was exploited by Xiao You.

“......”

This operation shocked even Xiao Qian. She felt something was wrong but couldn't say it. Even she felt that her IQ was being crushed by Xiao You, because she never thought of doing this.

With a complex mood, Xiao Qian finally silently pulled out 2,000 Dan and gave it to Xiao You. After all, it was really her money from selling her breakfast.

“Let's go, Xiao Qian, let's buy some canned autumn swordfish. I'll treat you today.”

#@#

At around 9 o'clock,

Xia Tian was afraid that Xiao Qian and the two wouldn't know the way, so he went to pick them up again.

Milk Uncle saw his smile and felt strange. It was the same in the morning, he always felt that there was a hint of awkwardness in Milk Uncle's smile.

“Forget it, Japanese people are weird anyway.”

Shaking his head, Xia Tian looked at the two girls. “Xiao Qian, Xiao You, are you getting used to it?”

“We are, boss.” Xiao You nodded eagerly. Earning 24 autumn swordfish a day and having extra money to buy cola, this life was blissful.

Xia Tian looked at Xiao You with confusion. Why was this girl so excited.

“Get used to it. Remember the way, you can come here by yourself if you want to set up a stall in the future.”

“Okay, boss.”
