It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

As Song Zhi approached her stall, she heard a disapproving voice, "Can't you make more? I've been here two days in a row and nothing has been sold."

She walked quickly into the stall and heard her aunt's apology, "I'm so sorry, how about I save one for you tomorrow?"

The man was obviously unwilling to give up. He pointed at the wooden basin in the backpack and said, "Isn't there another basin here?"

Song An explained, "This was ordered by the barbecue stall next door. We were busy and didn't take care of it just now. We will deliver it to them later."

"Well, it doesn't matter who you sell it to, it's no big deal if you sell it to me."

Song Zhi put down the bamboo basket, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sir, a man cannot stand without trust, and this also applies to business. Since this has been reserved in advance, we businessmen cannot break our promise."

"How about this? You come with me to the next door stall. I'll talk to the vendor and you can buy from him, okay?"

Seeing that what Song Zhi said was reasonable and well-founded, and that it also solved his dilemma of not being able to buy jelly, the man's originally impatient and dissatisfied mood was instantly soothed.

The customer paused and said, "Can the price be the same as yours?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "It's the same, don't worry."

After saying that, she asked a few people to pack up first, and she led the customers to the next door with the jelly in her hand.

Zheng Hui, who was following behind, saw that Song Zhi, who used to just lose her temper, seemed like a different person. She handled things with clear logic and knew how to advance and retreat appropriately, which made people unconsciously feel good about her.

Zheng Hui shook off the strange thoughts in her head. They had a quarrel before.

How could she find that girl lovable?

She glanced at Song Zhiyuan's receding figure again, then returned to the teahouse proudly.

Doctor Zheng looked at his granddaughter coming back awkwardly and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Zheng Hui was worried that her grandfather would notice her discomfort, so she quickly suppressed her expression and changed the subject, "Nothing...nothing. Oh, by the way, Grandpa, Song Zhi and the others are packing up, so we can pull the ox cart out first."

On the other side, Song Zhi led the guests to Ma's stall.

"Auntie, please do me a favor. This customer has come twice in a row and couldn't buy jelly. So I brought him to your place. Do you think you can give him some?"

Ma still wanted to order jelly from Song Zhizhui. Since she had asked for it, there was no problem, so she immediately sold a piece to the other party.

After the customer paid and left.

Ma smiled and said, "Auntie, let me make a deal with you. Can you give me an extra twenty yuan of jelly?"

Let’s just say her judgment was correct. The greasy grilled skewers were perfect paired with the cool and refreshing jelly.

Therefore, at yesterday's dinner market, when the customers passing by heard that she had jelly, most of them chose to eat at their barbecue stall.

Thanks to the addition of the jelly, yesterday's dinner business was very prosperous.

However, those twenty pieces of jelly were not enough to sell, so Ma immediately decided to increase the order quantity with Song Zhi the next day.

Looking at Ma who was staring at her, Song Zhi thought about it and added the twenty yuan set by the teahouse owner just now, which would be forty yuan. If she increased the amount by ten kilograms, she would have to make at least thirty kilograms of beans at a time.

Adding this up, this is basically the limit of what can be made at home in one day.

But she still nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll give you an extra twenty yuan tomorrow."

This is how it is in the food business. For an ordinary snack, whether you make money or not is secondary. It doesn’t matter if the customers are looking for something new or not. As long as the customers like it, you have to have it.

Song Zhi knew clearly that as the popularity of jelly spread in the county, the number of people who would come to her to make reservations would only increase, not decrease.

She was in the food business, and her business was booming. It was the right time for development, so there was no way she could refuse.

But it is obvious that if things continue like this, it will become a problem if she cannot ship the goods.

Song Zhi was thinking about how to deal with the situation in her mind as she walked away.

"Hey, why are you leaving? Don't you want the money for today's goods?"

After saying that, Ma smiled and handed the copper coins that she had strung together in advance to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi slapped her head in frustration, "Look at me, I actually forgot to tell Auntie that this bowl of jelly today is my reward for thanking Auntie for setting me up yesterday."

Ma was stunned when she heard her say this, then she chased after Song Zhi and wanted to give her money, "I was just mentioning it, how can I take your things for free?"

Song Zhi patted Ma who was holding her arm and said, "Auntie's words really helped a lot. Now the herbs in our house are finally sold, and I've finally put my mind at ease."

"You gave too much!"

"Take it, Auntie. It's my thank you for introducing me to such a great place to set up a stall."

After saying that, he waved to Ma and walked towards his own stall.

Seeing her leave like this, Ma returned to the stall and told her husband what had just happened.

Zhao Daniu, who was baking oven cakes, said, "Since that's the case, why don't you take some of our oven cakes and send them over."

"Yes, yes, yes, you see, I actually forgot." After saying that, he immediately packed ten freshly baked cakes and sent them to Song Zhi.

When Song Zhi returned to Caoshi, Yang and others had already packed up.

Seeing Song Zhi coming back, Yang couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? Did they want all the herbs I brought today?"

Song Zhi nodded, "I sold them all. I got a total of 4 taels and 300 coins."

Yang knew that these herbs could be sold for a lot of money, but after hearing the specific amount, she still felt dizzy.

This was the first time in the past three years, oh no, it was the first time in her life that she had seen someone make so much money.

"You sold so many?" There was a slight tremor in his voice.

"This is all thanks to my aunt. There are so many people on the street right now. I'll give you the money when I get home."

Yang said hurriedly: "I don't mean to ask for money."

"I know, but it's true that it was Auntie who picked these herbs, so of course the money was earned by Auntie. It should be yours to manage. Look at me, now the money that Auntie makes from selling cakes and jelly is mine to manage."

Yang pursed her lips, wanting to say that it was because the money was used to pay off debts.

But he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he just said, "You keep it for now, and I'll give it to mother when I get back."

Song Zhi nodded and said, "Aunt, let's go back and discuss it. Doctor Zheng should be waiting for us. We need to buy some more things to take back later."

As Song Zhi spoke, she led a few people out of Caoshi.

At this time, Ma came up with a bag of oven-baked cakes. "Luckily you haven't left yet. Here, these are for the children."

After saying that, he didn't give Song Zhi a chance to refuse, and directly stuffed it into the basket that Song Huan was carrying, and left in a hurry.

Song Huan looked at a loss as to what to do and called out, "Sister?"

Song Zhi wasn't that pedantic. "Since it's given to you by Aunt Ma, just keep it. You can thank her when you see her later."

The two children nodded happily.
