The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Our boss wants it." Zhou Sheng repeated.

Mother Zhou moved her mouth, glanced at Father Zhou, and smiled dryly:

"......Maybe he was just joking. People who do business tend to speak more politely. You......"

"I'm not kidding." Zhou Sheng interrupted her again: "She is really hiring people, even those with disabilities."

Zhou's father and mother remained silent. These words did not sound believable.

But the child looked so confident, how could they say those negative words? !

"She has already hired two workers, one of whom has lost a leg like my father." Zhou Sheng looked at his father steadily: "She is hiring again this time. I went to confirm with her. She said that as long as they can stand for a long time, she will hire them."

Mother Zhou covered her mouth in disbelief, then turned to look at her husband hopefully.

If what my son said is true, then...that's really great.

Father Zhou looked at his empty trouser leg for a long time without saying a word.

After Zhou Sheng said this, he didn't look at his parents' reactions.

He is very busy. If Ruosi's father doesn't want to leave home, he will have to be even busier to ensure that his family has enough food and clothing.

Zhou's mother thought her husband didn't want to go to work, after all, he didn't respond to his son at the time.

However, after her son left, she saw her husband walking slowly back and forth against the wall with a cane.

Ever since he was injured, she hadn't seen her husband move for a long time, except when he went out of the room to help her son turn over firewood.

Mother Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and suddenly chuckled.

.......

Zhou Sheng's question did not cause any ripples in Lin Zhi's heart.

Obviously, the person Zhou Sheng wanted to recommend did not meet her recruitment criteria for the time being. As for what she told Zhou Sheng, it was not a lie.

As long as the person he recommended could meet the requirements, she could open the stall for both morning and lunch markets.

"You go and make the braised food, and I'll just stay here to inspect the goods."

Daya obediently went into the kitchen.

She prefers to work alone in the kitchen rather than dealing with people.

After recruiting people, the family’s only busy time is in the morning, and the rest of the time is free.

In her spare time, Lin Zhi taught Daya needlework.

This is a necessary skill for women in this dynasty. You can choose not to do it, but you must know how to do it.

This is a matter concerning a woman's reputation, and Lin Zhi hopes Daya can handle it.

Having more skills is always a good thing. Maybe in her short life, she will suddenly save her life!

The college is on holiday today, and Lin Zhi was worried that the number of customers would decrease, so he opened the stall much earlier than in previous days.

Diners who usually line up early were pleasantly surprised by the early opening time.

In a moment, the group of chatting diners rushed to line up.

Although they know that Lin Zhi’s stall has added a lot of braised food recently, they just can’t change the habit of coming early and queuing up early.

"Boss, do you have tofu today? Do you have egg pancakes?"

The person who came was the guest who was eating spicy food for the first time.

"Yes, both. Which one do you want to eat?"

At noon, Lin Zhi went to the blacksmith and took back the customized pots, including a pancake pot, which was placed in the place where the skewers pot was originally located.

"I want both, two of each, with extra spicy sauce!"

Soon, two servings of sizzling tofu and two servings of egg pancakes were ready.

"Do we need to pack up so much?" Lin Zhi asked.

"No, let's eat here." As he spoke, a boy who was about the same age as Dalang and Erlang came over and said, "This is my younger brother. I brought him here to have a good meal today."

The child had two bowls of braised rice in his hands, and he had no extra hands to pick up the meat, so he just leaned over to eat it.

Hearing this, Lin Zhi looked at his brother and smiled.

This child has a plump face and it is obvious that she eats very well on a daily basis.

This body shape is rare in a place where most people are thin.

"Then take your time eating." Lin Zhi didn't say anything else as the diners behind them were already urging them.

There were still as many people eating braised rice as usual, and there were quite a few people queuing in front of Lin Zhi.

However, most of the people who came to buy her were egg pancakes, and very few were buying tofu.

"Sold out, all sold out, don't queue up anymore."

When the prepared ingredients were almost gone, Lin Zhi started to ask everyone not to queue up anymore.

But there were just too many people, coming in waves, making it very noisy.

Helpless, she could only keep shouting.

She didn't expect there would be so many people today, which was totally unlike the time when students were not on vacation.

Amid the complaints of many diners, Li Chong and his wife quickly packed up their dishes and left.

"Mom, do we need to prepare more food for tomorrow? Many people didn't have enough to eat today." Daya asked.

There were so many diners that Daya thought they could make a lot more money if they prepared more.

The diners felt sorry that they didn't get to eat the delicious food, and Daya felt sorry that the money she earned slipped away.

Lin Zhi shook his head. "No, things are valuable because they are rare. Our food is popular not only because of its taste, but also because it is limited in quantity. If we supply it in large quantities every day, people won't find it rare anymore."

Daya nodded, not quite understanding.

Another reason is that their current customer base is unstable.

Because they have only been open for a short time, the food they sell is novel. After a while, diners will get tired of it and their customer base will decrease.

In addition, Fu Man Lou has also started selling braised food, and the high-level people who come to pick people up at the airport probably won’t come to this embarrassing stall to buy things, so the customer base will decrease further.

We opened early today and closed early too.

By the time Li Chong and his wife had washed everything, the sun had not yet set.

Lin Zhi did not force them to work at the usual time. She let them go after they finished the work at hand.

"I won't cook tonight. Call Dalang and Erlang and let's go out for dinner."

Daya ran into the house and ran out again:

"They said they couldn't go, so they asked us to pack some food for them. They wanted to eat wontons."

"Okay, let's go to the market."

The wontons sold at that wonton stall in the market are really delicious.

When the two arrived at the market, they immediately saw the wonton stall that had not yet closed.

It was almost evening, and there were only a few stalls in the market that had not yet closed, which could be seen at a glance.

The two of them ate and drank their fill at the stall, and then packed up two bowls of food using the bowls and chopsticks they brought with them.

"Take it back first, I'll see if I have anything else to sell."

Daya walked very quickly carrying the bamboo basket, fearing that the wontons would become lumpy when she returned home.

There are really few stalls still operating in the market.

There were only about ten stalls along the way, most of which sold food.
