Chapter 26: Reply

Xiao Sheng replied, "We'll pack the soup and meat separately. This way, the loach won't be affected by the taste because it's been soaked in the soup for a long time, but it can also keep it warm. The meat and vegetables will be stored in rice boxes. A pot of soup can be filled with two hot water bottles. When we reach the place, when someone takes a bowl to buy, they will put a portion into the other party's bowl."

Yu Bing nodded in agreement and asked about the price and share.

Xiao Sheng glanced at Yu Bing and said, "A bowl costs 0.15 yuan, 20: 80. You take 20% and I'll take 80%. After all, I'm the one who's in charge of the raw materials, transportation, and sales. You just have to cook."

Yu Bing definitely couldn't agree. "No, this is too low. Although I won't take as much risk as you, I still have risks. Moreover, you know my culinary skills. I know more than these two types of food. Besides, others can taste whether the apple sauce is special or not with one bite. If there are better choices, other sellers will replace you at any time. If you want to sell them, you have to constantly improve them. Do you know how to improve them?"

In fact, this was also what Xiao Sheng was worried about. If he sold ordinary things, he would still ask that person to sell them on the black market. He could get more money if sold at a single price, but he couldn't sell a large amount. However, if he could do it alone, Xiao Sheng could try to do it through the person above. He could sell a large amount and it would be safer.

For the long-term benefits, Xiao Sheng decided to compromise. "Then we'll split it 30-70."

Yu Bing quickly said, "Deal!"

Xiao Sheng suddenly thought of Yu Bing's roommate. "By the way, come to my house tonight to cook soup. I'm a little worried that Jiang Chun will find out. What should we do?"

In her previous life, if Jiang Chun hadn't gone around looking for someone to help Yu Bing seek justice, Yu Bing would have already died on that farm. Jiang Chun was the only person Yu Bing believed in now.

However, she couldn't tell Xiao Sheng this. Yu Bing could only say firmly, "Don't worry, I will handle this. Now, we are in the same boat. For my own sake, I have to ensure that this matter is carried out safely."

After the two of them finished discussing, they decided to start tomorrow morning. In the future, they would do it every three days. Yu Bing had to prepare the things before four o'clock that morning. It would take Xiao Sheng about three hours to go back and forth. Only then could he return to the village quietly before dawn.

Ever since Yu Bing and the others moved to the back mountain, the amount of loaches they asked for had decreased. They only accepted ten loaches and an eel each time. They still accepted the conchs as usual, so the current stock wasn't enough.

After Xiao Sheng sent Yu Bing away, he made Xiao Lin catch loaches. Yu Bing would make six portions at once, and each portion had five loaches, so Xiao Lin had to catch 30.

3:00 A.M.

When Yu Bing was half-asleep, she heard a meow and immediately woke up. This was the secret signal she had agreed on with Xiao Sheng.

Yu Bing immediately put on her clothes and quietly closed the door. When she walked out of the door, she saw Xiao Sheng hiding in the shadow of the tree in front of the door.

The two of them went straight to the Xiao family's home when they met. Yu Bing was busy in the kitchen while Xiao Sheng was keeping watch in the courtyard.

More than half an hour later, Yu Bing packed the food and handed it to Xiao Sheng before returning to catch up on her sleep. The two families lived more than ten meters apart and were separated by the Xiao family's vegetable garden. Xiao Sheng watched Yu Bing enter the house before turning around to get the carriage from the cave. He tied two baskets of vegetables and rushed all the way to the county city.

During the day, Yu Bing gave another bottle of jam to Liu Ming, Qian Hao, and Li Zhen. Previously, she didn't participate in poking the hornet's nest, but they still gave her a portion of honey. This jam was her return gift.

After the three of them expressed their gratitude, they said to Yu Bing, "By the way, Yu Bing, the courier came to the village yesterday to deliver a gift. When I took the letter, I saw your and Jiang Chun's letter. Remember to go to the village committee's office to get it."

Yu Bing didn't expect the Yu family to respond to her letter after she expressed how broke she was and asked for things. "Alright, I'll get it at noon."

After work at noon, Yu Bing and Jiang Chun went to the office to get the letter before returning home.

Jiang Chun couldn't wait to open the letter. When she read about her parents' concern in the letter, her heart warmed. Beside her, Yu Bing opened it unhurriedly. There were five pieces of paper inside.

Rather than saying that this letter was written to her by the Yu family, it was better to say that it was written to her by Yu Pan. The Yu family didn't care about her recent situation at all. Although she was exaggerating, it was a true portrayal of her when she first arrived in the countryside in her previous life.

The letter said that Yao Ling had been dumped. Yu Bing noticed the gloating tone and sneered. Actually, it was Yao Ling who had asked her classmate to pretend to date her. Moreover, Yao Ling had married a boy with better conditions after that. Yu Bing could imagine how angry Yu Ling would be when she found out.
