Old man Zheng opened the quilt, took out two still-warm steamed buns from the basket and handed them over, "Here, these are two steamed buns, take them first."

Old Man Zheng handed the steamed bun to the man, and Zhou Chunfeng also neatly scooped a spoonful of pork offal and a spoonful of loach into the bamboo bowl.

"Your dishes are ready. The total is five cents. When you are done eating, just help put the bowl in this wooden basin."

"Okay, here you go. Five cents exactly." The man happily took out the money and paid the bill.

After paying, he couldn't wait to squat beside their stall, picked up the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.

The man was eating without even raising his head. He said, "Oh, what kind of fish is this? Not only does it have no bones, but the meat is also so tender. It's so delicious."

When he ate it, the fragrance spread far away.

The few people who were still watching on the sidelines couldn't help it and paid for two steamed buns and a dish.

Seeing how lively it was here, other people also came over to see what was being sold.

Later on, everyone who came here was attracted by the fragrance and could no longer move.

This smells so good, what? This two-cent dish has both meat and fish?

So what are you waiting for? Buy it now.

Everyone took out money, you wanted one and I wanted one, and then we started to fight over it.

Some people are reluctant to spend money and just buy one dish for two people, without any dry food.

This bowl of food may not be enough for two people, but at least it can satisfy their cravings.

Some people who were already full came over to watch the fun, and after they found out what was being sold here, they regretted it very much.

A steamed bun over there costs two cents, it’s not as cost-effective as this bowl of meat and vegetables.

The steamed buns that Zheng Xiaoman and his friends brought were quickly sold out. Many people could only buy a dish and then go to other stalls to buy steamed buns or sesame cakes.

Moreover, the bowls they brought were not enough, so Zhou Chunfeng could only wash the dishes while serving the food.

Even so, many people still failed to buy any vegetables in the end.

Seeing that all the food was sold out, Old Man Zheng apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, everyone. All the food I brought today is sold out. Because it's the first day, we didn't cook much. Please forgive me, forgive me."

Those who hadn't lined up yet groaned. They had been smelling the food for so long but ended up not getting to taste it. That feeling was really frustrating.

Someone asked, "Uncle, are you coming tomorrow?"

Old Man Zheng nodded quickly, "Come, come. We'll sell here again tomorrow."

"Then uncle, will you still make these meat dishes and fish tomorrow?"

"Yes, we'll have the same two dishes tomorrow. When the fish is gone in winter, we'll try other dishes."

"Hahaha, that's fine. Uncle, you have to make more tomorrow, otherwise it won't be enough for us to eat." A man said loudly.

Everyone laughed after hearing this, "That's right, I've never eaten such delicious meat dishes in my life, and I want to bring some back home for my wife and children."

"That's right, uncle, you must do more tomorrow."

Old Man Zheng was so happy when he heard this. "Hey, I will definitely do more. We will go back first."

The men all smiled kindly and then dispersed.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the other stalls and saw that they all looked at them with unfriendly eyes. She also knew that her stall had taken away their business today.

But there is nothing we can do about this. Everyone comes out to make money, and no one comes out to do good deeds. Everyone can only rely on their own abilities.

The three of them quickly put all the things on the cart and pushed the cart into the town.

There were two butchers in the town. They bought two racks of offal from one stall and three racks from the other.

They also made an agreement with the butchers that the offal would be reserved for them every day.

Since someone is willing to buy this pig offal, the stall owner is of course happy.

After buying the pig offal, they went to the grain store and bought two kilograms of mung beans and two kilograms of red beans.

Green beans cost ten cents per pound, and red beans cost eleven cents per pound, so a total of forty-two cents was spent at once.

The three of them returned home, had a simple meal, and then sat in the house to see how much money they had earned that day.

Zheng Xiaoman poured the copper coins in his purse onto the kang. The rustling sound made people feel happy.

First, take out 10 cents and put them aside. This is the money to buy pig offal.

Take out another 5 cents for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and firewood.

I used almost 4 jin of flour, which is 80 wen, and I had to take it out.

What remains is their net profit for today.

Zhou Chunfeng counted the copper coins one by one, and there were still 188 coins left in the pile.

This also includes the money spent on buying pig offal and mung beans today, so today's net profit should be 255 coins.

Several people looked at each other and thought that this was just the money earned from the two pieces of pig offal today.

If there are five pairs tomorrow, their profits can be doubled.

Doesn't that mean they can earn half a tael of silver a day?

If you calculate this in a month, they can earn more than ten taels of silver.

Everyone was in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.

Zhou Chunfeng was the first to find her voice. "This, we earned this much in one day? If we earn this much in a month, it would be more than what we earn working hard in the fields for a year."

Old Man Zheng wiped his face and said, "Yes, if we keep selling like this, the money we earn this month will be enough to buy two acres of good farmland for our family.

Oh my goodness, when did it become so easy to make money? "

You have to know that they work hard in the fields all their lives and can barely avoid starving to death.

Zheng Xiaoman listened to what her grandfather and mother said and quickly poured a basin of cold water on them.

"Master, this money is not as easy to earn as you think.

Our family can earn so much because we don’t have to spend money on acorn flour and loach fish.

If it were someone else, they would be lucky to earn half as much.

Besides, today everyone wants to try something new, that’s why so many people come to buy our food.

After a couple of days, when the novelty wears off, people may not be willing to continue spending so much money to buy vegetables every day.

Moreover, as the weather is getting colder, it will be harder to catch fish in the river. We will have to think of making some other dishes as substitutes.

The most important thing is that the road construction will only take a few months before the New Year. After the New Year and the beginning of spring, everyone will go back to farm, and the restaurant business will almost stop."

Old Man Zheng nodded after listening to his granddaughter's words, but he still felt a little regretful.

Zhou Chunfeng also pulled her heart, which had just flown up, back into her stomach. It turned out that she had been thinking too much.

If it is really so easy to make a lot of money, then why would everyone just farm and go into business?

Zhou Chunfeng laughed at herself for being too greedy. "Even so, my mother is content. When we make some money, we will hire someone to repair the house this month."

It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and if this house is not repaired it will become uninhabitable.

Old Man Zheng took over the conversation, "I'll find someone to repair the house. It should be done in three or four days."

"Okay, then Dad, I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhou Chunfeng counted out another 30 coins from the money and pushed it in front of the old man, "Dad, this is your wages for today, don't think it's too little."

Old Man Zheng looked at the money in front of him and his face darkened. "What are you doing? I'm not here to help for the money!"

Zhou Chunfeng hurriedly explained with a smile: "Dad, don't I know you? You came here just to help us more.

But that is your intention, and we cannot just accept it so shamelessly.

Now our family and eldest brother's family have separated. If you keep helping us like this, eldest brother will definitely have some opinions.

After all, you are still living with your eldest brother's family, and we can't make it difficult for you to be caught between the two.

This way, if I pay you every day, your eldest brother's family won't have such a big problem with it."
