The Scumbag's Cleansing Strategy [ Quick Wear ] [MTL]

Chapter 4

Mother Ye looked at Ye Qiu who was humming a song and tapped his forehead with her hand, "You, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. You just do whatever you want."

　　"Mom, you still don't believe me? It's just right that we're splitting up. When we make money from selling pancakes, I won't let him come over to share the money!"

　　Ye Qiu arranged to make pancakes for tomorrow at home. He took an iron lunch box that was exclusive to the 1970s and 1980s, filled it with food, made a pancake and slipped out, under the pretext of thanking the educated youth. When Ye's mother saw him, she told him to thank them properly.

　　He knocked twice gently on the window of the educated youth center, paused for three seconds, and knocked twice again. This was the agreed signal between the two.

　　"I heard that your family split up today. Are you okay? They went too far by separating you out alone. Isn't this bullying?" Ji Chen saw a smile on Ye Qiu's face under the tree and started to stand up for him.

Ye Qiu listened to Ji Chen's caring words and smiled.

　　"I'll be angry if you bring me food again!" Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't take him seriously, Ji Chen thought that Ye Qiu was shocked by the separation of the family, and worriedly put his hand gently on Ye Qiu's forehead.

　　Holding Ji Chen's hand tightly and looking at his panicked eyes, Ye Qiu asked, "Why, are you worried about me?"

　　"Don't worry, it's not me who was separated, it's my second brother." Ye Qiu put the food he brought into Ji Chen's hands.

　　Although the people in the village had more food than the educated youth, Ji Chen couldn't help but worry, "Why did you bring me food again? Won't your family have any objections?"

　　Ji Chen took the iron box, and found white rice and chicken legs inside.

　　"Of course not, they might even want to thank you!" Ye Qiu thought of Ye's mother's instructions, which made Ji Chen feel at ease.

　　......

　　Most of the people who had breakfast in the town were factory workers and school students. In order to catch up with breakfast, Ye Qiu and his friends got up early. Ye Lao Da was picking vegetables in the fields, Ye Dasao was making multi-grain cakes, Ye's mother was frying fruits, Ye Qiu was in charge of preparing the sauce, and even Xiaohua yawned and helped.

　　Since there was no business cart at home, Ye Qiu simply suggested making each part separately, and then packing it in front of someone when they wanted it. He also asked Ye's mother to professionally sew white gloves and a mask for Ye Lao Da, and asked him to wear them when packing pancakes for others.

　　On the first day of testing the waters, Ye's mother prepared a full basket of pancakes under Ye Qiu's brainwashing. After taking the pan, Ye Qiu placed the pancakes in a clean bamboo basket, which was also covered with a layer of clean thick cloth to keep them warm. One bamboo basket was full of pancakes, and the other contained bottles and jars of secret sauces, pickles and chilies.

　　Boss Ye was carrying two bamboo baskets and ready to set off. Ye Qiu wanted to go with him but was rejected by Ye's mother. After thinking it over, Ye's mother decided to go with him as well. Her eldest son was good at work but not so good at selling things. To sell things, one has to shout. How can one sell things without shouting?

　　"Don't worry, Mom. I've been there many times. I'm very familiar with the breakfast place and won't get lost!" Boss Ye assured his mother honestly.

　　Mother Ye poked Boss Ye's head and said, "You stupid fool, am I worried that you might get lost? I'm worried that you don't know how to sell things, and people don't know that our things are good and no one will buy them!"
