Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Really think anyone can be a nouveau riche

Chapter 88 -88 Really think anyone can be a nouveau riche

Bai Xiang, although not often at home, had heard about his cousin Bai Zhi from Bai Fei, knew she was oppressed and didn’t know how to fight back.

Every time he saw her, she wouldn’t approach him, but now, the little cousin was standing in front of him with confidence.

“Cousin, you’re back.”

This Bai Zhi made him feel momentarily bewildered. Was the old Bai Zhi like this?

He seemed to have forgotten.

Because at that time, Bai Zhi really didn’t have much presence.

“How are you, cousin? What are you up to?”

Bai Xiang revealed his trademark smile with a slight grin.

He seemed very approachable, but to be honest, such a person was not easy to get to know.

No matter who it was, he was always the gentle and sunny big brother, the smile in his eyes so warm, yet the depths of his eyes remained unseen.

“We’re doing homework…”

He appeared to be easy to get along with, but in truth, you had no idea what was beneath his smile.

But exactly because of this, he made friends easily. He must have had a wide circle of friends, right?

The original text only mentioned in passing that their family was nouveau riche and left it at that.

However, now that she saw Bai Xiang, she felt that the term ‘nouveau riche’ wasn’t quite right.

Besides, who thinks anyone can become nouveau riche? Without the destiny, even dreaming of it is in vain.

“That’s good, then. Keep it up. If you don’t understand something, just tell me, and I’ll teach you.”

Bai Xiang’s smile remained on his lips. His voice, too, was very gentle.

“We were just waiting for you to say that. Brother, hurry up and put your things down and come teach us…”

Bai Fei laughed heartily, feeling comforted that her brother was so understanding.

Bai Xiang’s smile stiffened. Truthfully, he just said it offhandedly, much like the greeting, “Have you eaten?”.

He had been away for so long and was dead tired; did he really have to go tutor them now? His heart resisted, but he couldn’t break the persona of the warm brother, so he could only smile and say,

“Okay, I’ll come as soon as I put my things down.”

Yet in that smile, there was a hint of reluctance.

Naturally, Bai Fei didn’t notice. With delicious food in front of her, she was very happy and couldn’t wait to open the kung pao chicken tendons, picking one up and directly placing it in Bai Zhi’s mouth.

Bai Zhi felt a bit awkward but opened her mouth anyway and then took it herself.

“Cousin, I can take it myself.”

The gesture was a bit too intimate for Bai Zhi.

But she didn’t show it too openly, not wanting to make Bai Fei feel awkward.

It actually tasted good, and Bai Zhi found it delicious. In another ten years, this flavor would no longer be available.

When Bai Xiang came out, the two young girls were already holding their workbooks and waiting obediently in the main hall, leaving him no room to escape.

It was actually a simple problem, but the two girls looked bewildered, and their absolute faith in him suddenly invigorated him; he began to explain.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

Bai Zhi listened attentively, her eyes lighting up with every new concept, quickly able to think by analogy, because Bai Xiang started with the most difficult explanations.

As for Bai Fei, she was completely clueless but not afraid; after all, she would eat first, munching on canned food, not to mention how delicious it was.

Bai Xiang then noticed the canned food; the mountain pears looked a bit small, but it didn’t affect the taste at all.

With one bite, the sweet juice filled his mouth, sweetness seeping into his heart.

This flavor was too good, and so fresh. Was it just made?

With a food-loving sister like Bai Fei, Bai Xiang naturally had a taste for food as well, and you could say, his ultimate dream was to one day taste all the delicacies in the world.

“Mum, where did you buy this from? It’s pretty good!”

Perhaps it could still be worked out.

Bai Xiang knew exactly how much he had for his weekly living expenses, but he managed to eat the most expensive things from Monday to Sunday, naturally for a reason.

Just as Bai Zhi had said, did you really think anyone could become an overnight success?

Even with housing demolition compensation, it was all about luck. Some people missed it by just ten meters, but without that luck, they really had no luck at all.

Moreover, in their family, the daughter was pampered while the son was left to fend for himself; being able to provide living expenses was already cause for gratitude. So, if you wanted to have lots of good food, you had to think hard to find a way.

There were many foodies in school, who would stock up on snacks and then sell them to the dormitory students…

So, success didn’t come without reason.

“These aren’t bought. Bai Zhi made them, tasty, right?”

Li Si was cooking in the kitchen, heard the conversation, and came out with a smile to speak.

“Oh?”

Bai Xiang looked at Bai Zhi, who was earnestly doing her homework, and didn’t expect that Bai Zhi could actually make these.

But then again, it made sense.

She seemed to have been cooking all along.

“Cousin, come on out, take a break, and let Feifei, that dummy, do it herself. Otherwise, she’ll get distracted…”

Without another word, Bai Xiang grabbed Bai Zhi and pulled her out into the yard.

Bai Fei felt somewhat gloomy. She wasn’t slacking off, hmph…

“Cousin, do you still have more of these canned goods you made?”

The canned goods tasted quite good, delicious and preservable. If they were sold, they could definitely make money.

Bai Zhi had seen the fleeting surprise on Bai Xiang’s face, and now, hearing his words, it was all within her expectations. She thought, how could Bai Xiang just be an overnight success without seeing anyone else become one?

“Cousin, why would you ask that?”

However, at the moment, she pretended to be clueless.

“Cousin, I usually deal with snacks, so I know some people and some small shops. Your canned goods are really good. Have you thought about selling them? Can you still make them? What about we partner up?”

Bai Xiang initially thought about taking them to Aunt Goh, but then he remembered; why not wholesale them to the small shops.

Bai Zhi didn’t expect Bai Xiang to be so direct. How to put it, she was just a child, and he could have chosen to just casually coax her. This also showed that he was quite sincere, at least for now.

Even with a child, he wouldn’t cheat.

“Look, you can make canned goods, and I can sell them. Then we split the profits, you get seventy percent, I take thirty. That’s the lowest I can go. If later on there’s a lot of demand, I can help you make them as well. What do you think?”

Bai Xiang saw Bai Zhi didn’t say anything and quickly spoke up, not really sure if she would agree.

If she agreed, he would go out and pave the way; if not, no big deal…

But still, he wanted to give it a try.

To agree or not, of course, she would agree. She wouldn’t have to worry about selling them at all. However, a seventy-thirty split, he was actually at a bit of a loss. If you’re going out to handle business, you usually have to treat people to a meal.

So, Bai Zhi spoke up.

“Cousin, let’s do sixty-forty.”

“What?”

Bai Xiang thought Bai Zhi was silent because she disagreed, but then she suddenly came out with this, quite unexpectedly.

“I said sixty-forty, you forty, me fifty, and one share goes to the older cousin. We picked the mountain pears together, so naturally, she gets a part. But since I make them all in jars, you’ll need to buy some smaller bottles. Take a jar with you later. People need to try them, after all.

Tomorrow, I’ll go pick more mountain pears with our cousin. How about that?”
