CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 295: THE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF HU DONG (2)

Lin Wan shouted while wrapping into a bucket shape, like a paper hat, but deeper

After folding, Lin Wan filled a bowl with sunflower seeds

"This pack is five cents. Popcorn is also five cents. You shout it out,"

Hu Dong immediately understood, so he stood up and started shouting, "Popcorn, five-spice sunflower seeds. Five cents a pack, cheap and tasty."

By the time the movie was about to start, their stall was already surrounded by many moviegoers.

Seeing snacks for sale, they all came forward to get a pack

Soon, half of her thirty pounds of sunflower seeds were sold

Popcorn was already gone

"Saozi, you’re selling fast"

"This is just one movie, there’s still another one. I’ll watch the stall here, you go home and pack some more popcorn," Lin Wan said, handing the house key to Hu Dong

"Okay, I’ll go now," Hu Dong rode the bike like the wind back home

When Hu Dong came back, the first movie hadn’t even ended.

As they left the theater, maybe because the popcorn had a lot of sugar, it tasted sweet and crunchy. There were quite a few returning customers.

By the end of the second movie, their popcorn and sunflower seeds were already running low.

Hu Dong was full of energy, not afraid of fatigue, and rode the bike back home again.

The two of them waited until after eight o’clock, until the last show dispersed, before heading home

Back home, Lin Wan quickly made dinner. Hu Dong counted the money one by one in the living room

When Lin Wan brought in two bowls of scallion noodles, Hu Dong was still laughing while counting money

"Still counting?"

"Counted, counted, Saozi, a total of eighteen dollars and twenty-nine cents, excluding costs, we made a net profit of ten bucks." Hu Dong laughed slyly, leaving Lin Wan speechless.

This kid loves money too much

"Sunflower seeds five dollars, ten pounds of corn, slightly over two dollars, brown sugar four cents a pound. Really," Lin Wan put down the bowl, motioning him to eat quickly

"And this is just one afternoon, selling this much. If it was a whole day, wouldn’t it be more?"

"After a bit, you ride the bike and take the stuff back home, go to Uncle Liu tomorrow morning to get some sunflower seeds back. Tomorrow I’ll pop some more popcorn. Once it’s done, I’ll bring it to you directly, from now on this will be your responsibility. All the money earned is yours."

"Thank you, Saozi." Hu Dong was overjoyed, earning more this afternoon than he did moving bricks for a month.

"Eat quickly, after you finish, head back home, it’s so late, your mom must be worried."

"Oh," Hu Dong realized it was already very late, hurriedly finished a big bowl of noodle soup, packed his things, and rush-headed home

After a hard day’s work, Lin Wan was tired too, simply took a shower and went to sleep

... Hu Dong hadn’t returned late, Shen Qing worried at home, just circled downstairs but couldn’t find him. Just went upstairs and saw Hu Dong was already home

"Where have you been, I asked you to take something to your Saozi, why did it take the whole day? Where did you wander off to?"

"Mom, where could I go? Today Saozi told me about a money-making job, I’ve been busy with Saozi until now, can’t you let me rest for a bit?"

"What job, busy until now?" Shen Qing wasn’t skeptical of the money-making aspect, last time the siblings each brought back ten bucks, she knew that

"Selling sunflower seeds and popcorn at the cinema"

"Can you make money from that?" Hu Bin came out of the room at this point, sunflower seeds are indeed cheap.
