Upon seeing this, Mr. Qian said no more, but he was worried about them in his heart. The food that used to be delicious now didn't taste so good anymore.

Xu Si and the others were still waiting outside for an answer. When they saw Shen Anyi coming back, they hurriedly asked.

Shen Anyi found it a little difficult to speak, but he still lowered his head and explained the reason.

Everyone was silent for a while, but seeing the growing guilt on his face, they didn't care about anything else and hurried to comfort him.

"It's not a big deal. If the workers don't buy, there are other customers, right?"

"That's right. We're not that tired even if we sell less."

"Ultimately, this is the fault of the supervisor, not Dad."

Shen Anyi knew that his family did not blame him, and his expression became better, but he still blamed himself.

"Let's take care of the things at hand first, and discuss the rest when we get back." Xu Si's words gave everyone a reassurance.

"Okay, we all listen to you."

After waiting for a long time, some people from nearby came to buy, but not many were sold.

"That's it, wash the dishes and let's go home."

Seeing that everyone else looked worried, Xu Si made a decision.

On the way back, everyone walked with heavy steps and no one spoke.

The atmosphere was too depressing. Xu Si wanted to offer some comfort, but was too hot to speak.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when we get home.

"Dad, you're back!" Qi Ning heard the familiar voice and ran out happily.

Shen Jingchuan forced a smile and touched his head.

Qi Ning was keenly aware that everyone was in a bad mood. Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions.

Qinghuan poured a glass of water for everyone and then sat quietly by the side listening.

"So will we only sell to crew members from now on?"

"The number of crew members is not stable. Some go out to sea, and some come back. If they all go out to sea together, our food will be left over." Xu Si shook his head in denial.

"How about we make peace with the overseer?"

"It's hard to make peace, isn't it? After beating the other party up, how can we make up for it?"

"I don't think it's necessary to make peace. The other party is unreasonable. If we lose face and ask for peace, the other party probably won't agree." Shen Jingchuan pondered carefully.

"If you beat him, you beat him. There's more than one place selling food. At worst, you can just go to another place. It's not like that's the only place that sells food."

Lou Yuexin comforted herself as well as others.

Moreover, she knew her husband's character. If she tried to make peace, he could give in to her pride for the sake of his family, but it would leave a deep scar in his heart.

"Why don't we open our own store?"

Everyone was shocked by Xu Si's bold remarks.

Seeing everyone looking over, Xu Si explained, “We can’t set up the stall all the time.

It’s too cold in the winter, and it’s hard to keep food warm. It’s too hot in the summer, and food can easily go bad if exposed to the sun.”

"You're right, but if we open a store, we can't afford to buy one yet. We can only rent one, and there will be an additional cost of rent every month."

Lou Yuexin thought about it and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"But if we open a shop, we can save the cost of storing things, and we don't have to waste energy on the road. We can have more energy to sell food, and I believe we can sell more."

Seeing that everyone was thinking, Xu Si continued, "As long as people come, we can keep selling, and we don't have to just make lunch like we do now."

"Compared to taking food away, people prefer to have a clean place to sit and eat."

Everyone thought that this was the truth. They had no choice before and could not provide a venue. Fortunately, the crew could go back to eat, and the workers did not care about it.

"Then let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree to open the store, please raise your hands." Lou Yuexin suggested.

After he finished speaking, everyone raised their hands, including Qi Ning, who raised his hand high with a look of support on his face.

He believed in his second aunt and always supported her.

Seeing this, everyone laughed.

Lou Yuexin went back to the house, took out all her belongings, and placed them in front of everyone.

"Here are 16 taels of silver, and 400 wen more."

"Oh, yes, and the 150 coins I earned today." She took off the wallet from her waist and put all the copper coins together.

This was the first time that everyone knew how much money the family had.

"Today I will give it all to Ah Si, and she will be in charge of it in the future." Lou Yuexin said seriously.

Xu Si was shocked, "No, no, no, mom, you take it."

This is too stressful.

Not to mention modern times, if you give all the money to your second daughter-in-law, other people will definitely have some thoughts.

In this dynasty, as long as the family was not divided, the money would be managed by the mistress. If she didn't care anymore, the money would be given to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Giving it to her was nothing, Xu Si refused madly.

"Sister-in-law, just take it. We all know what kind of person you are, so we feel safe leaving it to you. You can spend the money however you want."

Su Jinyue could also guess some of Xu Si's concerns and advised him specifically.

Others also advised, "That's right, just take it, and buy it if you need anything."

“Well, I’ll take it first as our initial capital.

In the future, we will also record our daily expenses. When our business is established, we will definitely have an account book.”

Xu Si did not refuse, as he had a clear conscience anyway.

After deciding to open a store, everyone started to consider other things.

“Do we still sell this when we open a store?”

"I haven't decided yet. Mainly because the weather is hot, and the boxed lunches aren't very appetizing, but we can have some cold drinks with them. It would be better to sell some food suitable for summer."

A lot of food flashed through Xu Si's mind in an instant, making her a little confused.

"Don't worry, take your time to think about it. As for shops, everyone can go out and look around these few days to see where there are some for rent." Shen Anyi stopped thinking about what happened before and looked at everyone and said.

"It would be best if it were located in the center of the county. It's close to the government office, has a lot of traffic, and is okay with a higher price."

Xu Si added that in this way, if something like the last time happened, it would be easier to solve the problem.

"Okay, Achen, especially you. Don't you like to go out and walk around? Look carefully for him." Shen Anyi nodded and pointed out someone specifically.

Shen Yanchen felt a little dissatisfied when he heard what his father said. He hadn't been out for a long time.

Besides, it’s not that he likes going out. Wouldn’t that be too boring?

But he still agreed.

When the sun set, Xu Si stayed at home looking after Qing Huan and Qining, thinking about the food to sell.

The other five people went out to look for a shop. After all, the earlier they found one, the earlier they could open the shop.

They ate the leftover food that was not completely sold out for three days. Now, they couldn’t eat it or keep it for three days.

Everyone says that overnight food is not good, but for ordinary people, they are reluctant to waste it.

So after Lou Yuexin and the others came back, he distributed half of the remaining dishes and gave them to people he knew.
