Just when Guangdan and his group were having dinner in the yard, Mr. He came strolling over again.

"Ahem, ahem, you guys are the ones who should eat." The old man still pushed open the wooden door of the yard in a familiar manner and walked in with a smile.

"Grandpa, you finished eating so quickly!" Lin Erniu immediately stood up enthusiastically.

"You eat, you eat. I'll come over to talk. Tomorrow morning, go to the intersection of Erqu Road on West Street and find a yamen runner named Xu Fu at the noodle stall. Tell him that I, Lao He, introduced you. Ask him to find you an empty stall. I can't talk about the price, but you can find a slightly better spot. Oh, by the way, he is like me, he just likes to drink. He will definitely like your braised meat."

Mr. He finished talking in a burst of words, then waved his hand and left.

This made Li Erniu and his companions very grateful. They were unfamiliar with the county town, and Grandpa He had really shown them a clear way forward.

Sometimes, we are not afraid of spending money to get things done, but we are afraid that the person we spend money on may not be able to do the job. Now with the help of Mr. He, the group is more confident about setting up the stall tomorrow.

In the evening, Lin Erniu and his wife prepared everything on the cart. In addition to braised food and pickles, there was also a stove on the cart. This charcoal stove would be used to heat the braised food.

Guangdan slept with Lin Erniu at night. His second uncle was probably particularly excited because the business would open tomorrow, and he forced Guangdan to talk nonstop.

"Uncle, we have to get up at the beginning of the evening tomorrow." Guangdan reminded helplessly.

"Oh, yes, then go to sleep, go to sleep. Sleep a little longer tomorrow morning and we will call you when we are about to leave." Lin Erniu said a little embarrassedly.

"No need, wake me up when you wake up. Let's go early tomorrow. We can't be late!" Guangdan said as he clenched his little fists, and then cheered up his second uncle.

The next morning also started with the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking. The sky at the beginning of the You hour was still as dark as ink, with only a few sparse stars in the sky shining brightly.

Fortunately, the Lin family never lacked torches. People in the mountains basically live off the mountains. Lin Erniu pushed the cart, Cao Lian supported him on the side, Fang Cuihua held a torch to light the way, and Guangdan followed behind, rubbing his still confused face.

Because it was still early, we didn't meet anyone else on the way out of Lijia Village, but by the time we arrived at the city gate, the team had already formed a small dragon.

"Fortunately we came early!" Lin Erniu exclaimed excitedly.

Guangdan felt that his second uncle was like a chicken with its blood injected since yesterday, and he looked very excited.

After paying the entrance fee, the group went directly to West Street. According to Mr. He's reminder yesterday, Lin Erniu took a portion of braised food and went to the Erqu intersection of West Street by himself.

Sure enough, I saw a man dressed as a yamen runner slurping noodles at a noodle stall.

Lin Erniu mustered up all his courage, yes, all of it, all the courage he had accumulated over the past twenty years, and cautiously approached.

"Master Xu, Mr. He from Lijia Village told me that he wanted to see if you could arrange a stall here. We sell braised food." After saying this, Lin Erniu stood aside with his head shrunk.

Xu Fu didn't say anything. He slurped down the bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth, and then reached out to take the plate of braised meat handed to him by Lin Erniu.

"Is today the first day?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Why call me sir? Just call me Brother Xu." As he said that, Xu Fu directly used the chopsticks he used to eat noodles to pick up a piece of braised meat, stuffed it into his mouth, smacked it a few times, and then stood up.

"Let's go, this smells good." After saying that, he took Lin Erniu directly to West Street.

"Hey, Brother Xu, if you want to eat braised food in the future, just tell me and I will send it to you right away." Lin Erniu said with a smile while wiping the sweat off his face.

"Well, forget about this one today. Next time when I need it, I'll send someone to buy it. Don't give me anything fancy." Xu Fu said while giving Lin Erniu a meaningful look.

Lin Erniu didn't know what this meant. He was a little confused.

Xu Fu was the leader of a gang of yamen runners in the county. He had no other hobbies on weekdays except drinking a little wine and eating good food. He and Old Man He had been drinking buddies for many years, so when he heard that it was Old Man He who recommended him to come, he agreed.

With the help of this boss Xu, the Lin family's snack stall was quickly set up.

Lin Erniu hung a sign with the words "Lin's Snacks" on a wooden stick. It was just getting light in the sky and the sparse people coming and going on the street were all vendors.

"You need to get a bigger oil-paper umbrella, otherwise it will be bad when it rains." Fang Cuihua suggested after strolling around.

"Yeah, I think so too. Let's go back and see where we can buy big oil-paper umbrellas." Lin Erniu responded directly, his bright eyes staring at the people coming and going on the street.

At this time, the aroma from the pot had already wafted out, and the curious stall owners around even shouted to ask what the new stall was selling.

Guangdan and Fang Cuihua felt relieved when they saw their Second Aunt explaining her family's food in a friendly manner.

In Fang Cuihua's memory, Cao Lian has been very cautious ever since she married into Linjia Village. She usually seems to not dare to speak loudly. But now she is different. Her temperament has not changed much and she still speaks gently, but she gives people a more determined feeling.

Guangdan felt that he understood. Second Aunt now had the skills to make money and she felt confident. People with confidence will not feel weak no matter where they go. To put it bluntly, she is more confident than before.

The first customer to come to Lin's Snack Shop was a well-dressed middle-aged woman who sniffed hard as she came over.

He claimed that his son had returned from another place and he wanted to buy some fresh food for him to try. Because he was the first customer, Cao Lian specially gave him some marinade and pickles. The two of them completed the transaction with mutual satisfaction.
