Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 28.2: The Prodigal Son (55)
Shao Yu said, locked the door of the warehouse, took Shao Dabao into the shop, picked up a bag of pastries, and said, “Like this kind of pastry, no matter what the weather, It will only be sold for three days, and customers are reminded to eat it as soon as possible.”
“What if it hasn’t been sold in three days?” Shao Dabao asked.
“Just throw it away.” Shao Yu said without hesitation.
Shao Dabao felt a pity in his heart, and felt as if the white money had flown away from his eyes.
“In this weather, food doesn’t go bad so quickly. Dad, why don’t you give me the pastries you want to throw away…”
Shao Yu chuckled and said, “What can I do for you? After three days, I can’t keep it. It’s not even suitable for feeding pigs. How can I sell it to others.”
Shao Dabao dare not say that he intends to sell it secretly, he can only say that he intends to eat it.
“Do you want to eat? It’s not impossible.” Shao Yu looked thoughtful.
Shao Dabao:…
Early the next morning, Shao Dabao took his new batch of goods and headed straight to the south of the city.
He immediately went to find the third aunt. She simply wanted to buy it sincerely. Seeing that the size was suitable, she bought it directly and saw the copper plate falling into his pocket.Shao Dabao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Speaking of which, my man’s younger brother has bigger feet, and it’s hard to buy boots for long distances.” The third aunt suddenly said.
Shao Dabao suddenly felt that business was coming, and immediately cheered up and said: “If this uncle also wants to buy boots, I can help prepare them, or deliver them to your door.”
The third aunt shook her head when she heard the words, and said, “Unfortunately, my brother-in-law is not at home these days, so I can’t buy it for him directly. You are a salesman, and you won ‘t come here every day.”
Although Shao Dabao’s business in the south of the city is doing very well, he also understands that he will not be here forever, but the thought of such a business slipping away like this makes him a little unwilling. .
After thinking about it, Shao Dabao said: “Third Aunt, if your brother-in-law really wants to buy it, you can give me ten cents to make a purchase first. When he comes back, let him go directly to Shao Ji’s grocery store on Dengyun Street. You tell them the name of the salesman Shao, and then the goods will be shipped at today’s price.”
“Shao Ji? Is that your shop?” Third Aunt asked in surprise.
After all, most salesmen are poor people. She didn’t expect that Shao Dabao actually had a shop in his home.
Shao Dabao nodded.
The third aunt immediately said: “No wonder the things you sell are always extraordinarily cheap, it turns out that there is a shop at home, I can buy your things with confidence, now I know the address of your shop, If you don’ t come in the future, I’ll go to your shop to find you.”
Because of the refund yesterday and the traveling boots delivered as promised today, the third aunt has a very good impression of Shao Dabao, and it is inevitable that she is a little fond of him.
Shao Dabao can naturally see that the third aunt likes him. This kind of affection is not because of blood relationship or life-saving grace, but because of selling goods. The feeling of winning the favor of others by relying on one’s own ability is very important to Shao Dabao. It is also very new to Shao Dabao.
“Third aunt, don’t worry. It’s not just boots. Even if you buy other things, as long as you say my name, my father will definitely give you a low price.” Shao Dabao patted his chest and assured the third aunt.
When the third aunt heard this, her heart was filled with emotion. The more she saw Shao Dabao, the junior, the more she liked him, so she took him to the house next door and gave him a good sales pitch.
With the help of the local snake, Shao Dabao sold most of the things today.
When he bought goods from Shao Yu again, he didn’t know whether it was due to Shao Yu’s influence. He didn’t choose to buy food anymore, but mostly groceries.
This purchase coincided with the expiration of the two boxes of pastries in Shao Yu’s store. Shao Yu handed it to Shao Dabao without thinking, and said, “Don’t you want to eat it? Take it, you’re welcome.”
Shao Dabao reached out and took it, but instead of opening it and eating it immediately, he was debating whether to take it out and sell it.
Shao Yu urged from the side: “Eat quickly.”
“I won’t eat it now…” Shao Dabao still didn’t open the pastry box. He kept in mind what Shao Yu said. Pastries older than three days are not suitable even for feeding pigs. Of course, he refused to admit that he was not even as good as a pig.
Shao Yu did not let him go, but said: “What’s left? It’s something that’s going to go bad. You eat it right away, and I’ll watch you eat it.”
Shao Yu’s words have never been questioned.
Shao Dabao didn’t dare to refuse, so he could only force himself to open the pastry box.
The pastry smelled sweet and was light and refreshing green in color. Shao Yu stared at it again. Shao Dabao thought it might be okay to eat a little, so he stretched out his hand and picked up a piece.
“Oops!”
The cake that was about to be eaten was quickly put down by Shao Dabao with Shao Yu’s exclamation.
“What’s wrong?” Shao Dabao asked eagerly.
Shao Yu stared at the pastry, frowned, and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s not broken.”
Shao Dabao seemed to be frightened when he heard this.
He has always cherished his life. At this time, when he saw Shao Yu frowning, his heart skipped a beat, for fear that something was wrong with the pastry: “Dad, what did you see, please explain clearly. !”
Upon hearing this, Shao Yu picked up a piece of pastry, looked at it carefully, and smelled it patiently.
“It’s alright, it should be my eyes. Although this pastry is three days old, it should not go bad so fast.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Dabao saw Shao Yu smelling and looking at the pastry, but he never tasted it, his heart became more and more uncertain.
“Dad, take a closer look and see if you can eat it.” Shao Dabao advised.
Shao Yu looked indifferent and said, “Even if it breaks, it’s fine.”
Under Shao Dabao’s surprised eyes, Shao Yu continued, “Even if it breaks, it’s mostly just be vomiting and diarrhea.”
Shao Dabao just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
Shao Yu then frightened him: “Of course we can’t rule out the possibility that the food will spoil and the good pastry will turn into poison.”
Shao Dabao hurriedly threw the pastries into the box, for fear of being contaminated.
Shao Yu said: “Don’t be afraid, even if you die, I will collect your body for you.”
Shao Dabao:…
Shao Yu continued: “How do you want me to organize your funeral? Should it be more lively or simple? What kind of wood should be used for the coffin? The family is poor, so I probably can’t afford anything good for you.”
