After Zhou Mingshu and the others left, the house suddenly became less lively, but at the same time, everyone was busy.

In addition to the mushrooms, the wheat that was dried yesterday needs to be pulled out and dried again.

"Mom, I'm afraid the shallots in our vegetable garden won't be enough for tomorrow's use. What should we do? I wonder if my eldest and second sisters-in-law will remember to buy some when we get back."

Feng pulled the mat and suddenly remembered this matter.

"It's okay, don't worry. If they don't remember to buy it, we can just go to the village and buy some. It's not a big deal."

"Yeah, that's good."

Zhou Mingzhi on the side poured all the mung beans in the bag into the basin to soak them.

These things don't necessarily have to wait until A Niang and the others come back to do. As long as there are people at home, these preparations are nothing.

When they arrived in the town, Boss Zhou first sent Zhou Mingshu to Chen Sheng's pharmacy.

"Saya, we'll come pick you up after we finish selling the stuff."

A few people waved goodbye to each other, and Zhou Mingshu entered Baicaotang.

"Uncle Chen, I'm coming."

Zhou Mingshu took a broom from behind the door and started cleaning the entrance of the pharmacy.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to the warehouse in the backyard to take inventory of some herbs. I see that some of them are almost gone. I have to go to the county in the next two days..."

Mr. Chen went to the backyard with the account book in his hand, and Zhou Mingshu noticed what he was muttering.

If Uncle Chen goes to the county town, I wonder if she can follow him.

I'll ask when I have time.

As soon as Boss Zhou and his group arrived at the place where they were yesterday, they saw a group of people chatting with basins in their hands.

This...can't be waiting for them.

As soon as they stopped the donkey, the group of people noticed them.

"Look, the jelly seller is here!"

"Here we go, hurry over there so you don't miss out. My husband said yesterday how delicious it was, so I have to buy some more today to try it."

"Finally here. My feet are sore from standing so long. Couldn't you have come earlier?"

"Hurry up, let's talk about this after we get it."

……

A group of people pushed and shoved towards Boss Zhou's donkey cart, which scared them.

If you didn’t know, you would think he was here to beat them.

The little donkey had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that he almost dropped the pole.

"Big sisters, please don't push. We brought six buckets today. Everyone can have a turn. Let's line up and take our time. It would be bad if we scare the little donkey. If we overturn the table, we won't be able to eat."

Boss Zhou quickly stood up and calmed everyone down.

I didn't expect so many people would come to buy jelly so early in the morning.

The other vegetable and meat stalls nearby all cast envious glances over, thinking that the jelly seller was going to make a fortune.

Boss Zhou and his companions quickly arranged the tables, chairs and seasonings, and then began to mix jelly for everyone.

"Don't be anxious, don't panic, take your time, we have everything, we have done a lot today."

Boss Zhou shouted loudly several times to avoid causing traffic jam.

Liu and Zhu were so anxious that they were sweating. They had done so many businesses but had never seen such a big scene.

I don’t know if these six buckets of jelly are enough.

The situation today is somewhat different from yesterday.

Yesterday there were only a few individual customers, and everyone wanted to have a bowl to try the flavor.

But today, few of the orders are for one bowl, most of them are for three or four bowls at a time. As a result, the amount of jelly in the bucket decreases faster.

Liu and Zhu were mixing the jelly while Boss Zhou was collecting money on the side.

Although he was not very smart, the amount of money was not large and he could count it with one hand. In addition, he greeted the individual customers and helped to carry the bowls and collect the pots. The overall situation was orderly.

"This is sesame oil, this is sesame oil, and this is chili oil. Chili oil is a bit spicy, so I suggest you put less. Should I put some of both?"

Liu asked the guest in front of her patiently.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's try it first."

Most people are eating it for the first time, so they will definitely not add or subtract seasoning rashly. They will first taste the boss's cooking skills.

"Okay, wait a minute, do you want all the onions, garlic and cilantro?"

Liu stirred the food back and forth with a small spoon. Seeing that the customer wanted more, she sprinkled some coriander, green onion and minced garlic on it, mixed it well and poured it into the bowl brought by the customer.

They mixed the mixture in one pot after another. The two sisters-in-law had to take a short break for their arms when wiping their sweat. The rest of the time they were stirring back and forth, and their arms were almost broken!

The group of people just now had finished mixing their jelly, but I don’t know if it’s because everyone has the herd mentality, but seeing people here queuing up, some people came over and followed suit.

Later on, there were more individual customers. They didn't bring bowls or basins, so they could only sit down to eat, so they sold them one bowl at a time. But fortunately, they could finally take a break.

There were some diners who thought the dish was so amazing that they left their stall and went into the grocery store to buy basins of vegetables.

This touched Boss Zhou and the others deeply.

This may be a two-way struggle between diners and bosses.

The six buckets of jelly were quickly sold out, but it was already mid-morning.

As soon as the items are sold out, they close the stall.

They put the money away, a big, heavy bag, which was a delight.

"Sister-in-law, I think we can add more to the six barrels. Do you want to buy two more barrels?"

Zhu suggested.

"It's possible, but we're just tired. I think we should wait and see. Many people think our jelly is fresh and they haven't eaten it before, so they come to try it after hearing about it. After a few days, when the diners are stable, if we still have that much, it won't be too late to buy more."

"Okay, okay. I won't buy any for now. But I should buy some green beans, onions, and cilantro for the family."

"Let your eldest brother clean up first. Let's go buy some food. We've made so much money. We should buy some delicious food for the children."

"Hahaha okay, let's go now."

The two sisters-in-law smiled and walked into the market, leaving Zhou Lao Da alone to clean up the tables, benches and buckets.

Seeing that the six buckets of mung bean jelly he brought today were all sold out, Boss Zhou was very happy. This business was really easy to do, even easier than his braised meat business.

Looking at the smiling faces of his wife and sister-in-law, he seemed to see the smiling faces of his mother and children at home.

In addition to the coriander and green onions they needed, Liu and Zhu also bought two pounds of meat and a dozen sesame cakes.

"Let's go pick up San Ya first, and then go buy some mung beans." Boss Zhou stepped forward and took the things from his wife and sister-in-law.

After helping them onto the donkey cart, he led the donkey to pick up Zhou Mingshu.

They came at the perfect time today. It was neither too early nor too late. Zhou Mingshu helped the shop through the busiest period and didn't have to stay here for lunch.
