Jiang Qingyi looked at Sun Lehe's surprised expression and knew that business was coming.

As expected, after Sun Lehe swallowed the pig intestines in his mouth, he immediately asked, "Little girl, how much is this braised food per pound?"

"The original price is 100 wen per jin. Today is the opening day, so it's 80 wen per jin. Uncle, how much do you want?"

Sun Lehe secretly thought that if such delicious food was sold in a restaurant, it would cost two taels of silver per plate, but at this stall it was only eighty cents per pound, which was really a bargain!

"Give me two... no, give me three pounds!"

Chen was delighted and quickly began to weigh the intestines, "Young man, do you want me to help cut them?"

"Just cut it to the length you just mentioned."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

Soon, Chen put the three pounds of cut pig intestines in oil paper and handed them out, "Brother, if this stew gets cold when you take it back, just steam it in the pot for a while. It will taste better when it's hot!"

Sun Lehe paid the money readily and left happily carrying the bag of pig intestines.

There happened to be a few people nearby who were joining in the fun. When they saw Sun Le and heard that a pound was 80 wen, they bought three pounds without blinking an eye. They also became curious about the so-called braised food on the stall.

Wang saw people gathered around and prepared herself to put aside her pride and start to greet them, "Would you like to try it? If it's not delicious, you don't have to pay!"

At this time, the braised food in the pot still retains a little warmth, and the flavor is also spreading.

Several of them felt very hungry when they smelled the fragrance. Wang said that it was free if it didn't taste good, so they decided to try it first.

"Let me try it first, if it tastes good, I'll buy it."

"I'll have some too!"

"And me, I..."

Chen simply took a piece, cut it in half and placed it in a bowl, allowing the curious people to taste it themselves.

Jiang Qingyi was watching from the side. Some people's hands looked black, and she was afraid that the person would get sick after eating the food like that.

It seems that the skewers for tasting have to be prepared, otherwise problems may easily arise.

Just as Jiang Qingyi thought, most people who ask to try the food will buy some to take home after eating.

Some people even knew that the price would rise to 100 wen per catty in two days, so they bought two more catties on the spot.

The people here also like to join in the fun and go wherever there are many people. More and more people are gathering around the stalls, and more and more people are asking for food tasting.

Business started to pick up, so Jiang Qingyi stopped shouting and just stood aside watching Wang and Chen cooperate.

In less than an hour, all the braised pork intestines they brought were sold out, and the last small piece was bought by an aunt.

The people who were squeezed in the back and didn't buy anything started to complain.

"Oh my, I finally squeezed in, how come it's gone..."

"That's right, that's right, you guys are doing business, why don't you prepare more things?"

"What a shame! It tasted really good, but it's gone so quickly!"

"Stall owner, will you come this afternoon?"

Wang was a little overwhelmed by the situation and looked at Jiang Qingyi for help.

Jiang Qingyi raised her voice and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, we can only make one pot of braised food a day. Today's has been sold out. We will prepare more tomorrow. Please come early tomorrow. Thank you!"

"It's out of stock. I'll come early tomorrow. My son will definitely like this taste!"

"You must sell it to me tomorrow!"

"..."

After the crowd dispersed, the Wang family members breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect the braised food business to be so good. It wasn't even noon yet and such a big pot was sold out.

Several stall owners nearby cast envious and jealous glances at them.

Jiang Qingyi noticed it, glanced at them casually, and temporarily remembered those stall owners without reacting too much.

Wang helped collect the money and pack the things. She carefully put away the small box containing the copper coins and gave it to Jiang Dashan for safekeeping. Then she and Chen packed up and prepared to go back.

The group returned the same way. Jiang Qingyi looked at Jiang Dashan carrying his pole and thought that it was not a good idea to keep setting up the stall like this. They could make a cart and put a tarpaulin on it to at least keep out the rain.

Of course, a more convenient way is to buy a shop, but the cost is too high and it is not cost-effective for the Jiang family.

It was not yet twelve o'clock when they got home.

Old Man Jiang was startled to see them coming back so soon. Could it be that something went wrong with their stall?

Seeing the happy expressions on her two daughters-in-law's faces, Mrs. Jiang knew that the business should be good. "Boss, how is your stall today?"

Wang took out the money box from her carrying pole and walked to Old Lady Jiang with a smile, "Mom, our food business is so good that the big pot we brought out this morning has been sold out. There is nothing left. This is the money from this morning. Please keep it."

Old Mrs. Jiang took the box handed over by Wang and said, "I'll keep it for you first, and save some money for the second son to buy the water, and then give some private money to each of you three."

Wang was about to refuse, but Old Lady Jiang continued, "Although we are a family, you are all married now, so you should take care of your own family and save some money for the marriage of your younger ones."

Hearing this, Wang did not refuse and nodded with a smile.

Old Mrs. Jiang called her son and daughter-in-law to the main room and began to count the money she earned that day in front of everyone.

Jiang Qingyi estimated that she brought out more than 40 kilograms of braised food today and could earn more than 3,000 copper coins.

Old Mrs. Jiang and several of her daughters-in-law were counting money around the table. Each hundred-cent string was strung together, totaling a little over thirty-three strings.

Several people looked at the strings of copper coins on the table, feeling surprised and frightened.

Chen's mouth trembled as she spoke, "Is this... is this really the money we earned today?"

Wang was more stable, but she was also nervous inside. "Second sister-in-law, this is true. I helped to weigh and collect the money, and it's probably about this amount!"

Old Man Jiang was so happy that he almost danced. "This is great. Our family is going to be rich! Before we came to the capital, we couldn't earn this much in three years..."

Old Lady Jiang separated ten strings of copper coins and put them aside. "These are for buying water. No one is allowed to touch them."

She then took out two strings of money and gave them to the wives, "This is for your private use, keep it for yourselves, and I will keep the rest for household use first."

Wang and Chen happily put away the two strings of money.

Zhao looked hesitant, "Mom, I didn't do anything, so you don't have to share the money with me!"

Old Mrs. Jiang frowned immediately, "Just take it if I give it to you. There's no reason to give them two houses and not give it to you."

Wang advised, "Third sister-in-law, take what mother gave you carefully. With you at home, we don't have to worry when we go out."

Chen also said, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law, I also threw Xiao Tian to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out."

Zhao looked at Jiang Dahai and only put the money away after seeing him nod.
