As soon as Jiang Yuwei and Uncle Ning arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Sun and Chen Guixiang, both of whom were carrying backpacks and acting suspiciously.

Jiang Yuwei frowned. She really didn't want to run into the two of them, but today was a strange day. In order to save money on the ox cart, Chen Guixiang never went to the market. Every time the family wanted to buy something, she sent Sun to the market to buy it. Now was the first time that she was waiting for the ox cart at the village entrance.

As soon as the two got in the car, they rolled their eyes at Jiang Yuwei. Ning Qiu felt disgusted when he saw them. The village woman next to him joked:

"Oh, Mrs. Chen, how many things are you going to buy? And you're carrying two backpacks?"

"That's right, that's right, could it be that your Ning Lao Er got rich by gambling?"

Chen Guixiang naturally knew that these old women always liked to say some teasing words, so she replied unhappily:

"I think you two are old and your eyesight is blurry. My two backpacks are full of things. What do you know?"

"Wow, what good stuff is inside? You even need to cover it with a piece of cloth. Let me see."

Seeing one of the women trying to lift the cloth covering her backpack, Chen Guixiang quickly reached out and slapped her hand away, holding the backpack in her arms, glaring and angrily saying:

"What are you doing! Don't touch it with your dirty hands!"

Uncle Ning Wu was annoyed by the noise of these old women. Seeing that the ox cart was full, he didn't wait any longer and drove away directly.

When they arrived at the market, Jiang Yuwei and Ning Qiu brought their goods to the same stall as last time and set them up. However, just as they were about to call out, they saw Chen Guixiang and Sun also put their backpacks on the ground opposite them and started calling out directly:

"Fried cakes! Delicious fried cakes, only two cents, cheap and delicious!"

Many people had eaten Jiang Yuwei’s fried cakes before, and they were thinking about it, so they were waiting to go to the market to buy them. Unexpectedly, there were actually two stalls selling fried cakes at the market today.

When everyone heard Sun shouting that the coins were only two cents each, they were tempted. After all, Jiang Yuwei had always sold them for three cents each.

Soon, a long line formed at Sun's place. While Sun was busy packing for the guests, he pouted at Jiang Yuwei and shouted:

"It's just a fried cake, but you're selling it for three cents. You're really making money with a dirty mind! Everyone comes to buy my two cents cake, so don't give money to others for no reason!"

Ning Qiu stamped his feet in anger when he saw this, and pulled Jiang Yuwei's arm and said:

"Sister Yuwei, what should we do? They are so shameless that they even come to the market to sell fried cakes, and they sell them for two cents each!"

Although Jiang Yuwei had long known that things like fried cakes and gardenia soy milk were extremely easy to imitate, she did not expect that the ones who imitated her would be Sun and Chen Guixiang. These two people did have some business acumen, and she had underestimated them before.

But she would not do something like lowering the price, which would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred. It seems that she will have to buy some food to sell at the market next time.

Seeing that Jiang Yuwei just kept silent with a gloomy face, Ning Qiu said anxiously:

"Why are all the people lining up there? Sister Yuwei, why don't we also lower the price by one cent? Otherwise, it would be a shame to waste all these fried cakes."

Jiang Yuwei smiled faintly at Ning Qiu and said:

"Instead of lowering the price, you can cut a few more fried cakes and let the guests taste them for free."

Jiang Yuwei is confident that the fried cakes she makes have a unique flavor. They can imitate the appearance of fried cakes but they can never make fried cakes that taste the same as their own.

Ning Qiu listened to Jiang Yuwei's words and hurriedly took out a plate and cut a few pieces. Ning Qiu was also a person with a bad temper. After cutting the fried cakes, he went straight to the team of Sun and Chen Guixiang and shouted:

"Fried cakes cost three cents each, free to try. Try it, sir. It's free."

The bored customers who were already waiting in line couldn't help but take a bite when they heard that the tasting was free:

"This fried cake is indeed delicious, but it's too expensive."

"That's right, they only sell it for two cents each."

"Yeah, it's too expensive. I wouldn't buy yours even if it tastes good."

"Yeah, I'd better queue up and buy this one. It's a penny cheaper."

After hearing what everyone said, Ning Qiu returned home in despair.

Jiang Yuwei was also busy packing food for old customers. Although there were not many people, the restaurant was open. Seeing Ning Qiu's frustrated look, Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Okay, Qiu Mei, come and help me pack."

Ning Qiu put down the plate in her hand and helped Jiang Yuwei pack up dejectedly. In fact, the people who came to their stall to buy things were just a few old customers who could handle it without Ning Qiu's help.

Ning Qiu looked at the food prepared by Jiang Yuwei and couldn't help but sigh. He was secretly worried. He was afraid that these fried cakes and soy milk would not be sold today. He could not ask Sister Yuwei for wages anymore. Just wasting these foods would cost a lot of money. Right now, Sister Yuwei was renovating the house and needed money everywhere.

Ning Qiu was just daydreaming when he heard someone shouting:

"What kind of fried cake is this? It's all mushy."

"It tastes terrible and is not worth two cents."

"How dare you make something like this and sell it!"

"Money back!"

"That's right, give me your money back. Your fried cakes are not tasty at all. There's not even any fillings. They can't even compare to the one across the street."

The customers who had bought Sun's fried cakes before came to Sun and Chen Guixiang to ask for a refund after tasting the cakes.

The people queuing behind heard that everyone who had bought the food said it was not tasty, so they didn't dare to waste money on buying more. If the food they bought was not tasty, then what was the point of saving a penny?

Everyone came to Jiang Yuwei to line up to buy fried cakes and soy milk. Ning Qiu was secretly happy when he saw this, and hurriedly helped Jiang Yuwei entertain the guests with a smile on his face.

Seeing that her guest was taken away by Jiang Yuwei, Sun was not willing to give in. She stepped forward, put her hands on her hips and cursed:

"How dare you steal my customers, you bastard!"

Seeing that Sun was so unreasonable, Jiang Yuwei said directly:

"He is your guest, how can I snatch him away? Everyone has different tastes. Everyone likes to eat my fried cakes. You can't imitate it even if you imitate it. So, he is my guest, and you can't snatch him away."

After saying this, he ignored Sun and concentrated on his own business.

Just as Sun was about to say something, the woman who had just bought ten fried cakes from her grabbed her hair and pulled her away, insisting that Sun and Chen Guixiang return the money.

When Sun first made the fried cake, Mrs. Chen was afraid that the taste would be wrong, but she had never tasted the fried cake made by Jiang Yuwei. That day, Sun shamelessly came to ask for a fried cake to take back, and Ning Xin ate the whole thing.

Even she just smelled it and looked at it a few more times, and then forced herself to make it and sell it at the market today. She felt that if Jiang Yuwei could make it, she could definitely make it too, but she didn't expect to cause such a big disaster.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pestered by the crowd to return the money, and threw the leftover fried cakes on their stall, then turned around and lined up at Jiang Yuwei's stall. Chen Guixiang looked angrily at the disappointing daughter-in-law in front of her.

Not only could I not earn a penny for my family on a daily basis, but now all the fried cakes that I had spent so much money on were lost. I was so confused at the time that I believed her lies and agreed to let her sell fried cakes at the market. Now, I didn't sell a single fried cake and even spent all my money on the ox cart ride in vain.

The more Chen Guixiang thought about it, the angrier she became. She twisted Sun's arm hard. Although Sun felt pain, she didn't dare to cry out, for fear of angering her mother-in-law, who would beat and scold her in the street again, which would make the situation even worse.

Chen Guixiang said to Sun fiercely:

"Pack up and carry it back. You've lost so much money, forget about riding in the bullock cart. You unlucky guy, just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Sun had no choice but to pick up the backpack on the ground, and before leaving, she did not forget to glare at Jiang Yuwei fiercely.
