By the time Chen Changsheng met up with his sons at the market, it was almost noon.

The sales situation of tofu brains at Chen Dafu is not as good as expected. I estimate that only one-third of them were sold in one morning, and there is still more than half left in the bucket.

Dafu and Erlu looked at their mother's side of the barrel with only a small bit left, and then looked at their own side, feeling a little heartbroken for no reason.

The ones that were sold were all sold by Sixi. The eldest and second eldest brother didn't succeed in selling a bowl. Why are they so useless?

The two brothers were a little annoyed, "Mom, we are so useless. It has been so long and we haven't even sold a bowl."

There are so many people coming and going on the street, but why is no one patronizing their stall?

"It's okay, it's only been half a day, we still have most of the day to sell slowly." Chen Changsheng cheered for his two sons.

The two stalls were merged into one, and there was no need for so many people to guard them. She took out twenty pennies and gave them to Chen Dafu, "Dafu, go buy ten buns and come back. My brothers and sisters are probably hungry."

"Mom, I'm not hungry."

The things haven’t been sold yet, so how can I have the nerve to have lunch?

Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and gave the money to Chen Erlu. Erlu also replied that if he didn't sell it, he wouldn't have lunch.

"Three Lives and Four Happinesses, you two go."

Chen Sanshou didn't want to go either. He had just learned how to do business and now he wanted to give it a try, so he didn't want to leave. "Go to Sixi, the bun stall is next to it. I want to try selling tofu buns."

Chen Sixi shook her head. She wanted to cheer her brother on.

Forget it, let's eat later. If the children are willing to take the initiative to try to do business, she, the mother, must give her full support.

Chen Sanshou recalled what his mother had called yesterday and this morning. He cleared his throat and started shouting, "Everyone, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, come and have a look. Come and take a look at the mellow and tender tofu. A bowl costs three pennies." , Bingbing is cool and refreshing. Don’t miss it if you pass by.”

Although the voice was not loud, it was the first time he spoke.

Chen Changsheng cast an approving look.

"Little boy, give me a bowl of tofu." A young man carrying a big bag sat down and said proudly.

Although three cents is not cheap, you can't eat it every day. You can still afford it once in a while. Besides, the sun is scorching now, and my whole body is very hot.

"Okay, little brother, please sit down and wait!" Chen Sanshou happily agreed, and his men immediately got busy.

He carefully brought out a bowl of iced tofu puffs, sprinkled a spoonful of brown sugar and some chopped hawthorn and handed it to the guests.

The customer didn't expect that brown sugar was sprinkled on it. He immediately felt that three pennies a bowl was a great deal. He felt like he had picked up a huge bargain. After finishing the drink, he put down the bowl and licked his lips.

Seeing that Sanshoudu was successfully sold, Chen Dafu and Chen Erlu looked at each other, as if to cheer each other up, and opened their mouths in unison to shout out the first sentence.

"Tofu brain, tofu brain chilled with mountain spring water. A bowl costs three pennies. It's sour and sweet. Little brothers and sisters, come and try it."

After shouting this sentence, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they were no longer nervous.

The two brothers were so loud that many handsome guys and beauties passing by looked over. When they saw someone in front of the stall who had just finished eating, they all came over to take a look.

The flow of people attracts people. For the first customer, there will be a second and a third. The three brothers are so busy that they lose track of time.

It happened to be noon, with the scorching sun in the sky, and all the cold tofu puffs were sold out in no time.

The children looked at their results and couldn't believe it. They didn't expect that they could also run a successful business.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "You guys are really good. You helped me sell all the things. Let's pack up now. First we will find a place with few people and count how much money we made today, and then we will find a place to have lunch. .”

Several children participated in the business today. Everyone was eager to know how much they earned, and they didn't even feel hungry even if their stomachs growled.

They found the most remote alley and checked several times that no one was around before Chen Changsheng poured the coins in the two cloth bags into the basket.

Except for Chen Changsheng and Chen Erlu, the other three brothers and sisters present had never seen so much money!

"This, this, how much is this?" Chen Dafu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, fearing that he had an eye problem at such a young age.

Chen Sanshou covered his eyes in cooperation, "Ah ah, my eyes are going to be blinded by something. Sixi, can you help me see what it is?"

Several people looked at Chen Sanshou's exaggerated appearance and couldn't help laughing in low voices.

"Third brother, enough mud! Just try again." Chen Sixi hit San Shou's arm and giggled.

Chen Erlu suggested, "How about we count them? I really want to know how much we earned after a hard day's work today."

Chen Changsheng divided the pile of money into five parts, and each person was responsible for counting a portion.

She counted five by five and quickly counted the two hundred coins in her hand.

Children don't know math. They can only count slowly one by one starting from one, two, three, and four, and then report the numbers one by one.

"What I have here is one hundred and eighty cents."

"Mine is one hundred and fifty cents."

"I also counted one hundred and fifty cents."

Only Chen Sixi's was left, "I have two hundred and twenty Wen here!"

"So how much did we earn in total today?" the four of them said in unison.

None of them had ever learned addition, so they could only look at Chen Changsheng helplessly, wondering if Mother knew about it.

Chen Changsheng added up a series of numbers and softly uttered two sentences, "A total of nine hundred cash was earned. We sold a total of three hundred bowls today."

"Hey, darling, we've earned nine hundred cents in just one morning? If we sell dozens more bowls, we'll have one or two cents!" Chen Dafu opened his mouth in surprise.

"With so much money, we have to hide it so that no one sees it." Chen Sixi looked around cautiously, for fear of being discovered by others.

"Yes, yes, mother, put it in your purse quickly and cover it tightly." Several people quickly packed the copper plates.

Chen Changsheng put the heavy purse in his arms. As soon as he stood up, he felt a tightness in his chest. He panicked and quickly put the purse into the bracelet space with his mind.

She picked up her backpack and said, "My family has made some money in the past few days, and life is a little more comfortable. Let's have a good meal in the city at noon today, and buy a new pair of shoes for everyone in the afternoon."

Chen Changsheng has been busy these days and has forgotten the agreement he made with his boss to buy new shoes for everyone.

The children were all happy when they heard that they had a good meal and bought new shoes, but they must have spent a lot of money.

"Let's go home and eat. I think the rice cooked by my mother is very delicious. It includes roasted pork ribs and crucian carp, as well as dumplings and meat buns."

Chen Changsheng thought about it, and he said, if you go to a restaurant to have a good meal, you can't just order vegetarian dishes. Just order roasted chicken, duck, and braised lion's head. A meal will cost four to five taels of silver, and it may not be enough. Her craftsmanship is good.

She clearly remembers that each dish at Ruyi Restaurant costs more than one or two.

"Then I'll just eat something simple today, but I must buy shoes."

Chen Changsheng took the children to the old place.
