There is a mountain in her arms

At noon, Wang Quan followed Jiang Yichen to have a free meal and ate the cake he had been craving for.

"Sister Cheng, this cake smells so good, it tastes like scallion oil."

There are only Grandpa Jiang and his brother in the shop now. Not many people come out to buy cakes at noon, so Wang Quan gets a bargain.

"Second brother, is this Cheng Cheng's classmate?"

Grandpa Jiang was selling cakes outside and didn't notice Wang Quan. He only saw him now that there was no one around.

"Yes, he is also our little landlord."

Grandpa Jiang whispered in the eldest brother's ear and laid out the dishes one by one.

"Red braised pork! Sister Cheng, you are so happy every day."

Wang Quan was looking at the meat on the table and his mouth was watering.

"Aren't you happy now? Besides, you just left home. Were you abused at home?"

Jiang Yichen likes to chew chicken feet the most, so he picked up a chicken foot and started chewing it.

"Oh! It's hard to explain. My mom has been so busy lately, my grandparents are unhappy, and the atmosphere at home is always bad, but I still have to eat!"

"What about your dad? He's not mediating! Besides, is it possible that your mom is using the money of the old couple in the family?"

"No! It's the money my grandmother left for her. She should have saved some money over the years! My dad is on a business trip."

"Then why are your grandparents angry? Your mom didn't spend their money, nor did she use your dad's money. Why are you asking for trouble?"

"Haha! That seems to be the case!"

"Why think so much? Don't you still have your dad? If your mom succeeds, I dare say there will be a long line of people who want to curry favor with her."

"Sister Cheng, it's a pleasure to listen to your empty promises. But why do you think so highly of my mother?"

"Because I will become a strong woman like your mother in the future, so we have a kind of sympathy."

"Sister Cheng, you are so ambitious! I don't have such great desires, but if my mother succeeds, I will be waiting to inherit her business directly."

"Uh! That's a great idea, keep it up!"

Jiang Yicheng was so shocked by his idea that he almost choked. He swallowed a mouthful of rice fiercely before he calmed down.

Grandpa Jiang and his brother both looked unhappy as they listened to the two men's boasting.

Especially Grandpa Jiang, he didn’t expect Chengcheng to set such a high goal, he just thought she was joking.

Grandpa Jiang tried selling for a week. The quantity was slightly higher in the morning, but it was still not selling well at noon and in the evening. He couldn't help but feel worried.

When Wang Quan came to eat again, Grandpa Jiang kept looking at the remaining cake and sighed.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Quan is now following Jiang Yicheng to call for help.

"It's okay, eat, kid."

Grandpa Jiang treated him as a child and did not tell him about his current difficulties.

"Is it because the cakes are not selling well? It's very choking to eat cakes at noon, so why don't you try something else? You can also sell some vegetables, the food in the cafeteria is not tasty."

Wang Quan complained a little and then took two chopsticks of the stewed pork intestines with potatoes. After taking two bites, he couldn't help but say a few words.

"Sister Cheng, I didn't expect that this pig intestine is delicious when braised. It also tastes good when stewed with potatoes."

"Fried potatoes! Grandpa, why don't you sell fried potatoes at noon? Tofu would be fine too, sprinkle some seasoning on it and mix it with chili powder, it would be delicious too."

Jiang Yichen was concentrating on gnawing on the chicken feet, but was reminded by Wang Quan's sudden move.

"That dish is so ordinary, will anyone eat it?"

Grandpa Jiang was a little confused.

"Oh! I'll talk to you guys when I get home tonight. You don't have to set it up at night. Go buy some tofu this afternoon. There should be potatoes at home, so you don't have to buy any. I'll talk to you guys when I get home from school tonight."

"Hey! Okay."

Although Grandpa Jiang was still confused, he had listened to a lot from his second brother in the past few days and figured out that all the major matters in his family were decided by Chengcheng.

After Jiang Yicheng and Wang Quan finished their meal, they took a few oranges to share with him and returned to school.

"Sister Cheng, when you guys make it, remember to let me taste it."

Wang Quan was walking and peeling oranges, still thinking about this.

"I've never missed you. I'm going to check vocabulary in PE class today. Don't even think about running away."

"Ouch! Sister Orange, you always know how to spoil the fun."

Wang Quan got anxious and ran to the classroom. When Jiang Yicheng walked back to the classroom leisurely, Wang Quan did not take a lunch break and was flipping through his English book.

Ha! This is just a last-minute effort!

Jiang Yichen took it all in, thinking about how to punish him if he failed the inspection.

In the afternoon, Wang Quan passed Jiang Yicheng's examination without any trouble. Before he had time to be happy, Jiang Yicheng threw a notebook at him.

"Sister Orange, what is this?"

"This is the note I wrote for you on English grammar, sentence patterns, and tenses. There are also some words and phrases I summarized, as well as writing skills. The most important thing is to be able to listen, speak, read, and write the words. I will check them regularly."

"Thank you, Sister Orange! Can I go out and move around for a while?"

There are only two of them in the classroom now, and everyone else is taking physical education class outside.

"Go!"

Wang Quan is a real young boy, and Jiang Yichen, the fake kid, can't push him too hard.

It is a child’s nature to love playing, and she cannot deprive him of his happy childhood.

"Oh yeah!"

Wang Quan hid the notebook and ran out happily.

As soon as Jiang Yichen got home in the evening, Grandma Jiang eagerly pulled her to the kitchen.

"Chengcheng, your great grandfather didn't explain clearly, what exactly should we do?"

"Don't worry, I'll wash my hands first."

Jiang Yichen understood their feelings and was not impatient.

She described the general method of cooking wolf tooth potatoes from her previous life, which she had eaten as a street food when she was on her first mission.

After all, the two grandmothers had been dealing with the kitchen all their lives, so they quickly figured it out, except that the seasoning needed some improvement.

"So simple? Will anyone buy this?"

Grandma Jiang had some doubts, but Jiang Yichen and An An supported her with practical actions.

Grandma Jiang watched as both of them finished the potato platter and waved the empty plate with a smile.

"We'll know if we try it tomorrow. Sister-in-law, make some more for everyone to taste."

"Grandma, get some tofu, too. Cut it into squares."

"it is good!"

An An's mouth turned red from the spiciness, but she still thought it tasted good.

In the evening, everyone gave rave reviews to the fried potatoes and fried tofu.

The next day, Great Grandpa went to sell cakes again in the morning, and Grandma Jiang accompanied her sister-in-law to buy small plastic bowls and seasonings for potato tofu.

At noon, when classes were about to end, a burst of fragrance came into the campus. The gatekeeper in the guard room was also attracted by the fragrance and stood in front of the stall following the scent.

"Brother, how much do you sell this for?"

"Potatoes are five cents a small portion, and tofu is two pieces for five cents."

"There's so much oil, it's really good, give me one too."

"okay!"

Grandpa Jiang happily took the money, and Grandma Jiang quickly packed a portion for him.

The gatekeeper picked it up and started eating. It tasted good and he finished it in no time.

"Your portion is too small. It's gone before you can even taste it."

"Hehe, just make some handicraft money. Eight cents for a large portion, a little more."

"Hey! You guys are good at business. Give me another large portion, and I'll take it to the cafeteria to eat with my meal. I just have to hand over my shift."

Grandpa Jiang smiled with a simple and honest look on his face. When he heard him say that, he snatched the tongs and gave him another piece of tofu.

"Okay! Come back if it's delicious. Since you're the first person to buy this, I'll give you a piece of tofu and let us promote it."

"Easy to say!"

The gatekeeper carried it to the guard room and pointed it out to the person on duty.

The person who was taking over the shift also came over immediately and bought a large portion. Seeing the teacher walking around, he knew that the time was almost up, so he hurried back to watch the door.

"Haha, I've earned 42 cents in just a short while."

Grandma Jiang looked at the money in her hand happily.

"Sister-in-law, this is just the beginning. I'm afraid you'll be busy soon."

Grandpa Jiang was also happy for them. As soon as he finished speaking, two female teachers came running over.

"Is it here? Is it here? Yes, that's it. Boss, how much are these potato tofu?"

"Five cents for a small portion, eight cents for a large portion."

"Ayao, why don't we just order rice instead of vegetables for lunch and eat this as our meal?"

"Well, I think it's okay!"

"Boss, do you have large bowls here?"

"No, today is our first day, and we are not sure about the situation yet, so we only prepared this small bowl."

"Okay then! Ah Yun, how much do you want?"

"Boss, I'd like two large portions too."

"Me too!"

"Okay! Wait a minute!"

Grandma Jiang's face was full of smiles, and she quickly packed eight portions. Grandpa Jiang took the money and packed them in paper bags for them separately, so that they would not be stained with oil.

"Take it, don't spill it! Come back for more if it tastes good!"

There were no plastic bags at that time, and most of the time, things were wrapped in net bags, baskets, or paper.

"Sixty-four cents. Another sixty-four cents."

Grandma Jiang was extremely excited, and all the anxiety she had felt over the past few days suddenly disappeared.

"Sister-in-law, congratulations! But do you want to put some more in the pan and fry it? Get ready."

"Yes, yes, look at my brain."

Grandma Jiang pushed the fried potatoes aside and put some semi-finished potatoes from the bag into the pot. This was what Jiang Yichen taught her yesterday, and it would be faster this way.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

When the bell rang, Grandma Jiang quickened her pace. After five or six minutes, several students came running out with lunch boxes.

They rushed to buy them and asked Grandma Jiang to put the potatoes and tofu directly in their bowls.

Grandpa Jiang was so tired of collecting money that he kept shouting, "Don't push, come one by one, there's a chance."

When Wang Quan followed Jiang Yichen here, he looked at the blocked door and felt a little puzzled.

He squeezed in from the side, went around to take a look inside the pot, and sniffed. It smelled really good.

"Sister Orange, I want to eat later."

Jiang Yichen was speechless, as he could see what he was thinking.

"Whatever you say, Grandpa, let's eat first!"

"You eat first, I'm afraid you'll have to help."

Grandpa Jiang looked at the lively scene at the door with a smile and let her eat first.

"I'm here to help!"

Wang Quan volunteered to help them maintain order.

"Hey, line up, line up. It won't go fast if you keep crowding around like this."

The students thought it made sense. Most of the students in No. 1 Middle School were well-educated, and the team lined up well, and indeed it became faster.

Grandpa Jiang helped add things into the pot, while Grandma Jiang was in charge of turning and filling the pot.

Twenty minutes later, this wave disappeared.

"Thank you, kid! Go eat quickly. Bring me your lunch box and I'll pack some for you."

"it is good!"

This is what Wang Quan was waiting for. Jiang Yichen rolled her eyes. She was afraid that the food would get cold, so she was waiting for this idiot.

Wang Quan couldn't wait to try a piece of tofu and then a piece of potato, they were both amazing.

"Grandma, sales are good today! I see some people can't wait to leave. It would be great if there were two pots."

"Eating can't stop you from talking! This is only the first day. If it continues like this for a few days, they can open a shop and set up a few more pots."

"hehe!"

Wang Quan was used to being scolded by Jiang Yicheng and didn't care at all. But Grandma Jiang was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she tried to smooth things over.

"You are all right. If it really sells well, we will open a store."

They sold a few more portions during their meal. The old couple smiled as they saw that most of the food they prepared was sold out.

At night, it was even more crowded than at noon. Grandpa Jiang simply packed up his things and took out the table and chairs they used for eating so that they could sit for a while.

Who knew they would just sit there and start eating, and Jiang Yichen had to clean up the garbage on the table.

At night they cleaned up the door, put the coal stove and pots in the store, locked the door and went home.

Grandpa Jiang carried a large bag of burnt coal briquettes and garbage to the landfill before taking a detour home.

Grandma Jiang had already prepared the meal at home. The whole family was so hungry that they wolfed down the meal in ravenous mouths.

Grandpa Jiang took the money box and put it on the table.

"Come on, count them all. This is what we sold today."

An An was the most excited. Grandpa Jiang gave everyone a handful. Jiang Yichen did not participate and took out a new notebook.

"These two dollars and seventeen cents for me."

"These two dollars and fifty-two cents for me."

"This is one dollar and ninety-three cents for me."

"This is one dollar and forty-eight cents for me."

"How much is that?"

"Eight dollars and one."

An An answered immediately, and Grandma Jiang's hands began to tremble.

"More than eight dollars a day? That's more than two hundred dollars a month, right?"

"Grandma, you haven't calculated the cost yet? Oil, seasoning, and coal briquettes account for the majority. I estimated that the profit is about 70%."

"More than five dollars, that's not bad, it's more than a hundred a month."

Grandpa Jiang did some calculations and felt satisfied. Many workers now earn only a few dozen yuan, and those who have worked for many years only earn a little over a hundred yuan at most. They are much better than others.

"Yes, this is something I never dared to think about before."

Grandma Jiang felt like she was dreaming and she even teased her.

"Sister-in-law, you can think about it now. Hehehe."

"My dear, if we sell well tomorrow, we should rent the house out quickly. I saw someone come to see us this afternoon."

"Did you see it? Then we have to hurry up. Chengcheng, can you help us ask Wang Quan tomorrow to see if her mother is free?"

"it is good!"

"But if such a large space is used to sell only these two items, wouldn't the rest of the space be wasted?"

Grandpa Jiang began to think again, wondering how to cater to the students' preferences.

"You can try making noodles. Potatoes and tofu can be used as vegetables. But students may not be able to afford noodles every day."

Jiang Yichen spoke the truth, she was just opening up an idea this way.

"Doesn't the school still have teachers and staff? I see that people who work nearby seem to have to pass by the school. I wonder if they eat outside?"

"Grandpa, you even noticed this?"

"Haha! I didn't notice it. Your great grandmother went to buy groceries a few times and heard others talk about it. She even muttered about it to me when she came back, so I took it to heart."

In the evening, Grandma Jiang was thinking about calling her daughter-in-law as well. They would rent a yard nearby so that her grandson could come back directly here.

Grandpa Jiang also thought it was feasible, but he had to save some money first. The two fell asleep with beautiful expectations.
