He didn't know how big the tea bowls were, nor how big the cakes were, but given the current situation, even if you had money, you couldn't buy water or food.

So he no longer hesitated.

There were thirty-five people in total. He first asked for ten bowls of water, ten multi-grain cakes, and ten wild vegetable cakes.

Lin Ke and Zhong Xiu didn't expect someone to come so soon.

At this time, they were busy taking bowls out from the cabinet under the stove and filling them with water from the faucet.

Lin Yi and Lin Er came in one after another and brought the water they had collected to the table outside.

Then the two of them hurriedly took out the basket of cakes from the cupboard.

Divide the twenty cakes that Lin Ke took out from the space into four portions.

It was carried out by Lin Yi and Lin Er.

After serving the pancakes and water, Lin Yi went straight to find Wang Er.

He could see that this young-looking man was indeed the one in charge of their family.

Wang Er stupidly paid fifty cents.

Only then did he come to his senses amid the exclamations of his family members.

"Hmm, this water tastes really good, and it's sweet!"

"This multi-grain pancake is delicious and doesn't hurt your throat at all."

"Woo woo, this wild vegetable pancake is delicious too, not bitter at all, and has a refreshing fragrance."

"Ah, I haven't eaten vegetables in a long time, they are so delicious!"

When Wang Er looked, he saw that everyone had already started eating.

But everyone was sensible enough to keep his share for him.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the businessman who taught him to read.

He said that hope will bloom in despair.

Now, don’t they see hope?

Seeing everyone enjoying the food with relish, he quickly joined the group enjoying the delicious food.

This meal was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.

After finishing his meal, he asked the shopkeeper if he could buy some water and bread to take away.

Unexpectedly, the man who looked like Xiao Si told him that each person was only allowed one bowl of water and one cake.

Now they have drunk ten bowls of water, and they can take away up to twenty-five bowls of water and fifteen bread.

However, there is no limit on the types of water and cakes.

Wang Er calculated the money he had and decided to order a bowl of herbal tea, five bowls of salt and sugar water, five bowls of mung bean soup and fourteen bowls of plain water.

For the pancakes, you need ten whole-grain pancakes and five wild vegetable pancakes.

I can earn money again, but I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to come across a tea stall like this again.

Since these are all we can buy, we’ll buy as much water and dry food as they need.

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter came forward and said, "Thank you, 69 cents, thank you!"

Wang Er couldn't help but admire that this little brother was so good at math.

He had just figured out the amount of food, but the second brother had already calculated the amount of silver.

He calculated carefully again and found that it was exactly the same.

He counted the copper coins as he was told and handed them to the second brother.

Another young man put all the dry biscuits they wanted into a paper bag.

At the same time, he asked, "Do the guests have their own water containers?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Er immediately asked his family to take out all the water bags.

Two young brothers brought out mung bean soup, salt sugar water and herbal tea. They helped them pour the water into the water bags with a funnel-like thing and explained to them the effects of these three drinks.

"Mung bean soup and herbal tea can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and salt and sugar water can replenish electrolytes in the body..."

Wang Er didn’t know what electrolytes were, but he knew that if people didn’t eat salt for a long time, their bodies would lose strength.

He silently took note of the words of his second brother. The merchant master once said that one should keep learning throughout his life.

He thought he had learned something useful again.

After all the water was poured in, a girl of about seven or eight years old came out of the thatched hut.

She said they were her first batch of customers of the day, so she gave them a white flour pancake for free.

Wang Er thought, this might be a daughter of a wealthy merchant who came out to experience life!

Otherwise, why would such a young child come out to do business?

And the white flour pancake as big as a head can be given away whenever you want!

However, Wang Er remembered this favor. If they meet again in his lifetime, he will definitely repay her for the cake she gave him today.

But after he walked out of the tea stall, he couldn't remember what the people in the tea stall looked like.

Including that girl.

He turned around and took another look at the tea stall under the scorching sun.

I silently said in my heart: "Thank you very much, thank you for letting me rekindle the hope of life."

The first business deal was completed smoothly, and Zhong Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This was also the first business deal in her life, and fortunately nothing went wrong.

The two of them reviewed the chaos that had just occurred and took all the bowls back into the cupboard.

This cabinet automatically cleans the utensils they use.

Lin Ke put some of the various cakes into her mother's space.

The two of them added water to two large buckets, one for boiling herbal tea and the other for boiling mung bean soup.

What Lin Ke just asked Xiaowei to do urgently in the space were all those things.

Lin Ke felt that they were still short of a bucket of water to boil in order to make salt and sugar water.

The next second, the two stoves became three, and the two big black barrels also became three.

There is a water outlet at the bottom of each bucket, and they only need to press a button to get a full bowl of water.

Just as we were getting ready, the second wave of customers came into the tea shed.

Lin Yi and Lin Er went to greet them as usual.

The two middle-aged men and women in the lead were wearing silk and satin clothes and looked like they were the hosts.

Following behind were a few women with their hair tied up in buns. They should be the concubines of the family.

In the middle there is an old lady wearing a headband.

Lin Ke saw it from afar and felt anxious for the old lady because of the heat.

The weather was over 40 degrees, and she was dressed so formally and even had to wear a headband.

I really admire you. It's not like you need to stay in confinement after childbirth.

The old lady was holding a little boy in her arms, calling him her darling as she walked towards the tea stall.

The little boy probably felt hot and was struggling to get out of the old lady's arms.

Behind the old lady were five pretty young girls, the oldest of whom looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest was about the same age as Lin Ke.

The others were maids, guards, servants and some people who looked like bodyguards.

As these people came in, the tea stall, which already looked fragile, looked even more shaky.

The maid Xiao Si stepped forward and carefully wiped the tables and chairs in the teahouse with a handkerchief, then helped her master to sit down.

The woman and the girls were obviously a little disgusted, but after walking for so long, this was the first time they saw a tea stall, and everyone couldn't help but want to come in and have a rest.

The group sat down according to their rank.

The middle-aged man and woman in the lead, the old lady, the little boy and two of the girls sat at the same table.

There were several maids serving beside them.

The remaining aunts and three other little girls sat at the same table.

The rest of the people squeezed into the last two tables.
