The person in charge had already been dealt with by Zhang Ercui, who helped them set up the stall with a smile on her face.

"My name is Wu Laoliu, you sell here. If anyone asks you, just say you are Wu Laoliu's friend."

Zhang Ercui smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Sixth Brother. When we are done, I will serve you some meat first."

Wu Laoliu: "Thank you, big sister." After saying that, he went back to watch people work.

When Li Chongming first arrived, he ran to the woods to collect firewood. He has made two trips back and forth, and his small backpack is now full.

Fubao took out his handkerchief and stood on tiptoe: "Brother, wipe the sweat off your face."

Chongming bent down and let her little hands rub his face.

Although Zhang Ercui was usually lazy, she was very hardworking. While she was wiping her sweat, she had already put the pot on the stove.

She picked up the wooden bucket, poured the water into the pot, took out the rabbit meat that had been processed in advance, and poured it in to blanch it.

Zhang Ercui: "Fubao, onion, ginger and garlic."

Fu Bao agreed crisply: "Okay! It will be ready soon!"

He quickly took out a bundle of onions, two pieces of ginger and a few heads of garlic from the space.

Li Chongming usually helps in the kitchen. He peels garlic and peels ginger with nimble hands and feet.

Li Darong helped them make a table for chopping boards two days ago, which came in handy at this moment.

Zhang Ercui arranged the seasonings that Fubao had brought out one by one, took out a kitchen knife and stir-fried them. Soon the onions, ginger and garlic were all processed and thrown into the pot, cooking them together with the meat to remove the fishy smell.

Fubao: "Aunt, is this okay?"

Zhang Ercui: "How can it be so fast? I have to pour out the water, wash off the blood foam, and then boil it again."

Fubao frowned: "Ah? What a trouble."

Zhang Ercui: "Do you think it's easy to cook and easy to make money?"

Li Chongming: "Mom, Fubao is still young and doesn't know these things."

Zhang Ercui: "I didn't say anything..."

As they were talking, the water had already boiled. Zhang Ercui said, "You two, go stand over there." Then she poured the boiling water with blood foam in it into the small ditch beside them.

Li Chongming hurried forward, picked up the bucket, and poured another full pot of water.

Zhang Ercui threw in the green onions, ginger and garlic: "Now let's cook it slowly."

Fu Bao took out the stew ingredients that had been stored in the space for who knows how long: "Aunt, put some of this in."

Zhang Ercui took it suspiciously and asked, "What is this?" Then she took out a little and put it to her nose and smelled it: "Spice?"

Fubao nodded obediently: "It will smell better if you put some of this in."

Zhang Ercui smiled and grabbed a handful: "Cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves..." After looking at it, she threw them all into the pot and cooked them.

Soon, the fragrance filled the entire stall and spread to the entire construction site with the northwest wind.

This attracted the attention of the people working on it.

Fubao's stomach growled. Li Chongming said with a smile, "I told you to eat this morning but you didn't. You must be hungry now."

After saying that, he opened the pot of stewed chicken and took out a piece of meat. But he was afraid that Zhang Ercui would scold him, so he whispered, "Taste it first to see if it's salty."

Zhang Ercui: "What can she taste? Try a piece!" Then she said worriedly: "Blow it before giving it to her!"

Fubao's eyes curved when she smiled, and there were two shallow dimples on her white and tender face, which made people like her. She said sweetly: "Thank you, brother! Thank you, auntie too!"

Zhang Ercui muttered, "Even eating can't stop your mouth. Stop talking, or you'll choke."

Li Chongming: "Mom, you should try it too, it smells so good."

Zhang Ercui: "You can't taste it! We are all trying to make money. You take a bite and I take a bite. Are you going to sell it today?"

Li Chongming lowered his head and said nothing after hearing what she said.

Fubao came over quickly and said, "Auntie, you eat! I have a lot of chickens, and they can hatch chicks. We will have more meat than we can eat!"

Zhang Ercui: "You are such a smart girl, your parents are useless, how could they give birth to such a clever little kid like you?"

Fubao stuck out his tongue playfully and said to the dejected Chongming, "Brother, quickly pick up a piece of meat for Auntie! Let Auntie have a rest."

Chongming raised his head and saw that A Niang didn't look angry. He quickly picked up a piece of meat and handed it to her: "A Niang, try it. I don't taste anything."

Zhang Ercui took the bowl with a smile in her eyes and tasted it: "Hmm, just right."

Li Chongming then smiled and looked down at the chubby Fubao, and said happily: "Are you still hungry? Brother brought you an egg!" As he spoke, he took out an egg from his pocket like a magic trick, peeled the shell and handed it to her mouth.

Fubao: "Awoooo——" She took a big mouthful, closed her eyes in satisfaction, and finished it in no time. Zhang Ercui was afraid that she would choke, so she served her some chicken soup.

Fubao swallowed the food in his mouth and drank the chicken soup happily. Now everything was ready, all he had to do was wait for someone to come and buy it.

She sat on her little chair, crossing her feet and moving them step by step on the ground. Zhang Ercui said, "Your posture is like Chongming's uncle." After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud.

Fubao looked puzzled, Chongming also laughed and explained: "My uncle is Mr. Jia from the town, he usually sits like this with you."

Fu Bao was still confused: "Then what are you laughing at?"

Li Chongming: "He sits like this because his belly is this - big -." He said with a very exaggerated gesture.

Fubao hit Chongming hard with his little fist, how abominable!

Before she could say anything, it was time for the workers to eat.

Li Shuangrong and Li Darong came over first and asked with a smile, "Madam boss, what did you buy? How much is a bowl?"

Fu Bao answered for Zhang Ercui in a serious manner: "Chicken soup is five cents, rabbit soup is three cents. A bowl of chicken is fifteen cents, and a bowl of rabbit meat is ten cents."

Li Shuangrong said happily: "Okay, little shopkeeper, give us two bowls of chicken soup."

Zhang Ercui smiled and said, "You are acting like an opera. Here."

As he spoke, he scooped a full bowl of chicken soup for each person and put three pieces of meat in it.

Fubao took out the pancakes he had heated up for them and said, "Dad, uncle, here are the pancakes for you."

Li Darong: "My dear niece, who else's child can be as smart as her?"

Fubao's face flushed: "Uncle, how can you praise your family like this?"

Several people laughed: "Little girl, you are still embarrassed. Uncle won't say anything more."

They set up a small square table, sat down and started eating.

Zhang Ercui filled a bowl with chicken soup and a few pieces of meat and called out, "Chongming, take it to Wu Liu."

Li Chongming took it and returned it soon: "He said he would return the bowl after he finished eating."

Zhang Ercui: "I understand. I'll send him a bowl every day from now on so we can continue to sell it."

After waiting for a long time, no one came, and Zhang Ercui became a little nervous. Many people didn't know the price, so they just looked and smelled from a distance, but didn't come over.

Wang San saw them from afar and led the first wave of customers to the door: "Boss lady, how much is the soup?"

Zhang Ercui greeted them warmly: "Chicken soup is five cents a bowl, rabbit soup is three cents. Chicken is fifteen cents, rabbit meat is ten cents."

Wang San said happily: "I haven't had a hot drink for a long time. Give me a bowl of chicken soup!" Then he handed five cents to Chongming.

The people at the back looked at each other, and seeing how Wang San was drinking so happily, they all started asking for bowls: "I want a bowl of rabbit meat soup."

"I want rabbit soup, too."

"I want chicken soup..."

……

Zhang Ercui was busy serving soup, Chongming was collecting money, and Fubao hated himself for the first time for not being tall enough to see the grand occasion. He could only be sandwiched between his brother and look at their legs.
