Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

This time, Gu Zhen set up a stall selling plain noodles.

Although noodles are not something special, they are made of fine flour and made by Gu Zhen himself.

The noodles are chewy and the soup prepared by Gu Zhen is fresh and fragrant.

After the stove was lit, Shi Yan moved a small stool to sit aside, and started to slurp noodles. Soon a worker came up to ask the price.

"15 cents a bowl, and you can have a bowl of vegetable soup after you finish it."

The price was set by Shi Yan. It was a little more expensive than that of state-owned restaurants, but it didn't require food coupons, so some people were still willing to try it.

Shi Yan and Gu Zhen only brought four sets of bowls and chopsticks, which was just enough for the people who came to try the new food.

There were no tables and chairs, so the few people who bought noodles simply sat on the steps outside the factory and ate their noodles with slurps.

A few people were eating with relish, and those passing by the steps on their way into the factory didn’t have anything wrong with their noses.

After smelling the delicious aroma, those who were originally planning to go into the factory cafeteria for a bite immediately changed their minds.

Shi Yan and Gu Zhen’s cart business immediately became hot.

As for the lack of bowls and chopsticks, Shi Yan had already considered this.

After all, those who work in the factory will bring lunch boxes unless they are going home for dinner, so there is no need for Shi Yan and others to prepare special bowls and chopsticks.

In particular, Shi Yan and Gu Zhen will give a bowl of vegetable soup for free.

That was a real soup with vegetables added in, and the vegetables were all blanched by Gu Zhen.

These city dwellers are very happy to be able to eat fresh vegetables.

Some smart people asked Gu Zhen to directly add a bowl of soup to their lunch boxes, and give them the vegetables without blanching.

When it’s time for lunch, put the vegetables into the soup and heat it up on a small stove, so you don’t have to eat lunch.

Shi Yan and Gu Zhen did not bring much food this time, especially vegetables, which were consumed quickly, so they pushed the cart to the village every noon.

"Wife, you should have earned a lot today, right?"

For the whole morning, Gu Zhen was busy cooking noodles and adding soup. He was very busy. He only knew that business was good, but not how much money he had earned.

"After deducting the cost, we made 30 this morning."

When Gu Zhen heard that he earned 30, he took a breath. Nowadays, an ordinary worker only earns 30 a month.

He couldn't help but sigh that setting up a stall to make money was really profitable. He felt a little excited, but also a little worried.

They worry about whether they will be caught or whether someone will be jealous of the money they make.

If Shi Yan knew what Gu Zhen was thinking at this moment, she would definitely tell him that being caught was impossible, but it was definitely true that someone was jealous.

After all, when the two of them pushed the cart back to the village, many people in the village discovered that all the food that was originally hanging on the cart's armrests was gone, and there was no sadness on Shi Yan and Gu Zhen's faces.

Without even having to think, the people in the village knew that Shi Yan and Gu Zhen must have made money that morning.

Someone immediately came forward to inquire.

"Gu Zhen, did you make money this morning? How much did you make?"

"Where are you setting up your stall? Is there really no one arresting you?"

........

Although Gu Zhen has a relatively honest personality, he is not really stupid and he tends to avoid important issues when speaking.

"We didn't encounter anyone being arrested, and we don't know if they will be arrested."

"Anyway, we'll just set up our stall somewhere crowded. After all, we're taking a risk to go to town, so we can't go there in vain."

"It's just hard-earned money. After all, noodles are made of fine flour, and we can't even bear to eat them ourselves."

Shi Yan followed silently, but couldn't help feeling amused in her heart. She didn't know when it started, but Gu Zhen, this honest man, has become more and more smooth.

After bidding farewell to waves of enthusiastic uncles and aunts, Shi Yan and Gu Zhen finally returned home.

After Gu Zhen returned home, even though he had been busy all morning, he didn't seem tired at all and went into the kitchen.

Shi Yan couldn't possibly discourage Gu Zhen's enthusiasm, so she didn't sit idle either. She ran to the private plot behind her house and started to use her supernatural powers.

Shi Yan didn't go too far. She just increased the activity of the vegetables. They would grow faster, but they would not mature overnight.

However, if they continue to do business of buying a bowl of noodles and giving away a bowl of vegetable soup, it is obvious that they will not be able to do it for more than a few days.

With just their small private plot of land, it is impossible to sustain the business of their stall in the long term.

While the young couple were busy with their own things, almost every household in the village was discussing whether Gu Zhen and Shi Yan were making money.

This, of course, includes the Shi family.

Now is the only rest time before spring plowing, and every household has no work to do. At this moment, the family of four sits together, and the expressions on their faces are either greedy or jealous, anyway, none of them is normal.

"Didn't you go to the police station this morning? How come that money-loser came back intact?"

Shi's mother was extremely unhappy at the moment, and she couldn't stand her cheap daughter-in-law.

First of all, when she was first married into the family, if her son hadn't liked her, she would have been no match for the money-loser in the family.

Secondly, this daughter-in-law had offended her natal family two years ago and had lost all ties in the village. Shi's mother looked down on a daughter-in-law who had no support from her natal family.

And the most important point is that this daughter-in-law has been married for two years, but she is still pregnant, which makes Shi's mother more and more displeased with her.
