I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

With someone taking the lead, many villagers went to get the second and third bowls after finishing the first bowl of noodles. They ate most of the prepared noodles and eggplant and meat stew. Xu Congyi divided the rest equally among the three aunts for them to take home, and asked his mother to give each of the aunts thirty cents as a reward for their help.

Several aunts refused repeatedly. They came to help because they had a good relationship with Li Dahua. They just helped to make a bowl of noodles, which was not difficult. They were already embarrassed to take the expensive white noodles and eggplant and meat stew back home, let alone take the wages. Moreover, Aunt Li knew the value of the thirty cents. You know, her son Daniu only earned thirty cents for renting out the ox cart for a day, and her husband only earned fifty cents a day by carrying big bags at the dock, and that was heavy labor. Now she was given thirty cents just for making lunch. It was really too expensive.

Seeing that the aunts refused to accept the money, Xu Congyi stuffed the money directly into their pockets and said, "Aunts, you came to help us so early in the morning and even brought your own cooking pots. We can't treat you unfairly. You deserve this money. It is precisely because we have a good relationship that you deserve this money!"

When the aunts heard what Xu Congyi said, they stopped refusing and just said that they must be called when the family needed help in the future, and they must not be paid next time. They would not give up until Xu Congyi agreed to their request. Xu Congyi agreed with a smile.

The aunts rushed to help wash the pots, bowls and kitchen utensils before they were willing to go home. After the aunts left, Old Man Shen stepped forward and was hesitant to speak. He wanted to ask Xu Congyi about the recipe of the diced eggplant and meat stew, but was a little embarrassed to speak. After all, he had no relatives or friends with the Xu family, so why should they tell him the recipe of such a delicious noodle stew? Why didn't they just run it themselves?

When Old Man Shen thought of this, he decided not to speak anymore. When he was about to take two steps back, Xu Congyi called him. In fact, Xu Congyi had already known from Old Man Shen's expression that he wanted to say something to her. Seeing that Old Man Shen was reluctant to speak, she said it herself.

"Grandpa Shen!"

"Hey," Old Man Shen was a little surprised when he heard Xu Congyi calling him, "What's wrong, girl?"

"Grandpa Shen, what do you think of the braised noodles I made today?"

"Well done, it's delicious!" Old man Shen was generous with his praise.

"Then if I teach you how to make this noodle stew, would you be willing? I know how to make not only this kind of noodle stew, but also several kinds. I can teach you all of them, and you can sell them at your noodle stall in the future. I think people in the city will also like this eggplant and meat stew. I sincerely hope that you can accept my proposal. I know that it is not easy to open a noodle stall. It takes a lot of time and energy. However, I believe that as long as you master the skills of making noodle stew, your noodle stall will surely prosper and you will be able to make more money. Of course, if you are unwilling to accept my proposal, I will not force you."

Old Man Shen couldn't believe his ears. This little girl actually took the initiative to teach him how to make such delicious noodle soup. Old Man Shen nodded quickly.

"I am willing. Of course I am willing. How much do you want to pay for the noodle recipe? I am in a hurry to go out today and I don't have enough money. I can write you an IOU!"

Xu Congyi waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Shen, I'll teach you the recipe for this noodle stew. It's free, but it's not free either."

"Girl, what does this mean?" Old Man Shen was a little confused. "What do you mean by not wanting money but not wanting money?"

The people around him were also confused. Xu Congyi smiled and explained,

"Grandpa Shen, this is it. I'm teaching you how to make noodle soup for free. You can use it to set up a stall. If no one buys, you won't lose money. But if it sells well, I hope you can give me 10% of the net profit from the noodles sold with my recipe. I also have some other noodle soup recipes here, and I can teach you all of them, but I will also give you 10% of the profit. All of the above are based on your good sales. If you can only sell a few bowls a day, I don't want the money."

"Okay!" Old Man Shen agreed readily, "But isn't 10% too little? This recipe is provided by you, and I, an old man, can't think of such a delicious recipe. Otherwise, how about we split it in half?"

"No, no, no! Just one achievement is enough."

Xu Congyi refused directly. Buying ingredients and frying diced eggplant were all the work of the Shen family. She was embarrassed to share so much. Besides, the recipe for this noodle stew was the simplest one. It could be found everywhere in modern times with a simple search. She just wanted to earn some pocket money. She saw the villagers eating so happily and thought about setting up a stall in the county town. However, if she sold noodles in the city, she would have to get up very early to prepare. She was really lazy. She might as well teach Grandpa Shen. After all, Grandpa Shen's noodle stall had a stable customer base. Even if people in the county town didn't like her noodles, Grandpa Shen still had his specialty, pork noodles, and there were still old customers who would patronize her. But it was different for her. If no one came to eat, she would be losing money.

The Xu family did not participate in the discussion between Xu Congyi and Old Man Shen, but just watched from the side. Xu's mother really loved her precious granddaughter. Since she woke up, her granddaughter not only cooked so many delicious dishes, but also had a business mind. She was very surprised when Xu Congyi said that the profit sharing would work. She did not expect that this method would work. If the sales were not good, she would not receive money, but only if the sales were good, she would share. Her granddaughter's brain was really too smart. Not only Xu's mother, but the rest of the Xu family also had this idea, and they all thought that Xu Congyi was really smart.

Xu Congyi had no idea what the Xu family was thinking. After all, the profit-sharing system was very common in modern times and was not surprising at all.
