Tang Yixiao knocked on Mr. Tang San's door and said to the dazed Mr. Tang San, "Uncle San, we want to rent your ox cart."

Master Tang San said, "Just wait at the village entrance. I'll show up at the usual time. There's no need to come looking for me alone."

Tang Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "My family would like to rent your ox cart alone. What do you think is a reasonable price?"

"Alone?" Mr. Tang San stopped yawning and looked at him puzzledly. "Why do you want to use it alone? What happened?"

"We have some errands to do in the city. There are many people and things going in, so we'd like to use your oxcart for a special trip. Don't worry, after you drop us off, you can come back for a second trip. It won't affect your earnings. It just depends on how much you think is a good price. If it's too expensive, we'll ask other companies."

"It's not expensive. If I were to make this trip alone, it would be twenty cents."

The women in the village were frugal, and unless they were taking things to sell in the city, they usually walked to the town. He couldn't even get ten people to run a single oxcart, so the flat price of twenty wen was a sure win.

"Fifteen." Tang Yi bargained with a smile.

"How come you are so smart?" Mr. Tang San said unhappily.

"Fifteen cents is just for you to take us into the city, but you don't have to pick us up. If you need to pick us up, we'll charge you separately."

Mr. Tang San agreed.

It was still early, so after sending them into the city, he could make another trip. So Third Master Tang told Wang, who was going into the city today, about this matter and asked her to tell the others to wait for him at the village entrance later. He would first send Li Taohua and her family into the city and then come back for the second trip.

When Third Master Tang knocked on Wang's door, Li Taohua and the others were moving things. Wang was displeased by Third Master Tang's words. However, the Tang family was willing to spend the money, and she couldn't stop Third Master Tang from making money, so she had no choice but to endure it. She was just curious about what tricks that bitch Li Taohua was up to.

Yesterday, people from the Tang family were coming in and out, making a lot of noise, and no one knew what they were doing. She leaned on the wall with a ladder and couldn't see anything.

Even though this is a small business, there are a lot of things needed.

First, the jelly was packed in a large wooden barrel. The braised pork had been cut the night before and today was placed in a backpack covered with lotus leaves, which were then covered with clean lotus leaves. The bamboo barrel and disposable chopsticks also had to be moved. Finally, the various sauces prepared by Qin Huiyin were placed in the few remaining large bowls in the house.

Third Master Tang asked, "What did you cook at home? Why does it smell so good?"

"I'll tell you later." Qin Huiyin said, "Third Master, thank you for your help."

Master Tang San was just asking casually, not expecting anyone from his family to actually tell him. An incense stick later, Master Tang San escorted them to the market entrance.

While Li Taohua and others were moving things, Mr. Tang San was not idle either, helping them move things down.

After moving all the things, Qin Huiyin handed a bamboo bucket of jelly that she had prepared long ago to Mr. Tang San and added a few slices of braised meat.

"Third Uncle, our family is troubled by you again. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise it!" Qin Huiyin said.

Mr. Tang San quickly caught it, grinning from ear to ear: "It smells so good, I won't be polite then, haha..."

He picked one up and put it in his mouth, his eyes full of surprise: "What is this? It's icy cold, refreshing and delicious."

Li Taohua said loudly, "This is called jelly. It's a recipe copied from an ancient book, lost for hundreds of years. My daughter is clever and figured it out. I can assure you, my daughter is the only one in the world who can make this jelly. Such a large portion is only three cents, a fair price, no cheating."

"Today is the first day of opening. Buy a bowl of jelly and get five slices of braised pork for free. This discount is only available today and will not be available tomorrow. Also, because today is the first day, we are offering the lowest price ever, only three cents. Tomorrow it will be five cents." Qin Huiyin agreed.

It was morning market time, and many town residents who didn't want to cook would just grab a bite from one of the stalls. For example, two steamed buns cost one cent, a vegetarian bun cost one cent, a meat bun cost two cents, and a sesame seed cake also cost two cents. Those who didn't want to cook could just buy a steamed bun or a vegetarian bun to get by.

When many people heard that this craft had been lost for hundreds of years and that today was the grand opening sale, they gathered around out of curiosity and the desire to take advantage.

Mr. Tang San was busy going back to take on the second wave of business, leaving with his bamboo bucket of jelly. Hearing that a serving of jelly would cost three cents, and starting tomorrow it would be five, he felt even more favorable towards Li Taohua and her daughter. Regardless of Li Taohua's relationship skills, she was at least very generous in her dealings with others.

"It's only three cents, and there's no meat. It's not worth it."

"Who said there's no meat? Isn't this meat? Let me tell you, the origin of this meat is not simple. My ancestor was an imperial chef, and this is a delicacy only available in the palace."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

If anyone knows how to play the flute, it has to be her mother!

She suddenly felt that her mother was a natural born businesswoman. If she ever set up a sales department in the future, she could let her mother run it. She would definitely be able to do ten of them.

Everyone was stunned by Li Taohua's trick. However, it was Li Taohua who had to brag about such things. After all, she was an adult, and Qin Huiyin was too young. No one would believe her if she said the same thing. In addition, Li Taohua was beautiful, and her temperament was incompatible with this remote town. She looked more like someone who had been wealthy for generations.

"If you say it's delicious, does it mean it's delicious? We haven't tried it yet, so how can we know if it's delicious? How about this, you make some for us to try, and if it's good, we'll buy it."

"Auntie, we've been busy for the better part of a month preparing this. We can't afford to give it away. How about this? We'll give you five extra slices of meat for the first twenty servings."

Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao stood there, unable to say a word.

Li Taohua was good at boasting, and Qin Huiyin was good at playing along, which made the two of them look dumbfounded. It was the first time I was surrounded by so many people, and I felt a little embarrassed.

"Little brother, you and Sister Luwu take these five portions to your brother." Qin Huiyin said to them, "Give one portion to your brother to try, and the remaining four portions to the Master and the Master's Wife."

Li Taohua frowned: "My girl, we haven't sold any yet. If we keep giving them away one after another, will we still be able to do business?"

"Mom, there are quite a few students in the private school, and many of them are very rich." Qin Huiyin blinked.

Li Taohua suddenly realized: "Okay, then give it to me!"

Not every student goes to school because they are favored by the teacher. Many of them are sent to private schools because their parents hope that they will become successful. Those people are not short of money.
