The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

It's market day again.

I prepared more ingredients today than last time.

Just like last time, it was just dawn when they arrived at the county town on a rickety ox cart.

They skillfully found the stall they had been at last time, pulled out the mobile cart, and just as they hung up the sign of "Smiling Restaurant", people came over immediately.

"Oh, young boss, you're finally here." The old lady said with a smile, "Ever since I tried your cooking, I never want to eat other cakes again. Why don't you just come to the city every day to sell food? I will definitely stay here and eat."

"Auntie, you're here early!" Li Taohua greeted with a smile, "What would you like to eat today?"

"A roujiamo, a scallion pancake, and a shouzhuan pancake..." the old lady said, "Shouzhuan pancake with a fried egg is my old man's favorite."

Now there was only one guest, the old lady, and the food she ordered was all prepared by Tang Luwu. She was too busy to handle it alone, so Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua helped her and soon prepared all the meals ordered by the old lady.

As soon as we saw the old lady off, other guests came.

After they gained popularity last time, repeat customers came to them on their own initiative.

As long as there are repeat customers, there is no need to worry about not attracting more customers. Besides, the aroma of the skewers spreads for miles, and many greedy people come here just by smelling the aroma.

Qin Huiyin saw that several nearby stalls were selling vegetables, so she called out to the customers, "Dear guests, if you want to buy vegetables, you can go to the aunties next door while you're waiting in line. Their vegetables are large and fresh, and you won't be disappointed."

Seeing Qin Huiyin's business flourishing, the stall owners next door couldn't help but feel jealous. However, the girl was a good person and had no competition with them, so they were very happy with her kindness.

So, the smartest aunt said, "Little girl, I see you have quite a few vegetables in your soup pot. If you don't have enough, just come to me and I'll give you a discount."

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Qin Huiyin said, taking out a few skewers of vegetarian food from the spicy hot pot and asked Tang Luwu to take them and distribute them to the stall owners on both sides.

The county market was quite large, but because there were so many customers, it was crowded, affecting other stall owners' business. However, they soon tasted the sweetness and stopped complaining.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from not far away.

The long queue of customers turned around when they heard the voice, and dispersed one by one when they saw the official uniforms worn by the newcomers. In the blink of an eye, there were no customers left. The officials walked towards their stall.

"What is this? I've never seen it before." asked the leading yamen runner.

"Sir, this is the breakfast we developed ourselves. You have worked diligently and diligently, so consider this our gift to you." Li Taohua handed over the skewers.

The leading bailiff took it, took a bite, his eyes full of delight: "It tastes good. How much is it?"

"Two cents a string for meat dishes, one cent a string for vegetables," Qin Huiyin said. "Originally, you, the officials, work hard for the people and do your duty, so we shouldn't charge you. However, I heard that the county magistrate is a strict and fair official who supervises his subordinates very strictly. If we don't charge you, we will be harming you. So we can only give you a discount to show our admiration and gratitude."

"Ladies and gentlemen, whatever you want to eat, we will sell it to you at cost price." Li Taohua took over the conversation.

Several yamen runners looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the leading yamen runner ordered twenty skewers of barbecued meat, fifty skewers of spicy hot pot, thirty of which were meat and twenty were vegetarian, and twelve bowls of cold noodles. They would not take them away, but would eat them on the spot before leaving.

The yamen runners occupied all the tables and chairs they had prepared.

At this time, a young man dressed like a servant of a wealthy family strode over and stopped in front of the "Smiling Restaurant".

"Brother Ying Hai." Qin Huiyin recognized Ying Hai at a glance, "Are you here to eat too?"

Ying Hai said with a smile, "What a coincidence! I happened to be nearby doing some work and saw you guys, so I came to say hello. What did you cook? It smells so good."

"Brother Ying Hai, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you." Qin Huiyin said, "How about the barbecued skewers? Try them first, or you'll ruin my reputation."

"Brother Ying Hai..." the leading yamen runner shouted, "Do you know them?"

Ying Hai smiled and said, "Of course we know each other! This girl has done our chief steward a favor, and he specifically asked to take care of her business. Brother Feng, we are all family, so please help take care of her when you come on patrol in the future."

"These are all minor matters, don't worry. Since you are the butler's friend, you are my friend."

Ying Hai took out a silver ingot and said, "I've bought Captain Feng's order."

"No, no, won't this make us make a mistake? The little girl just said that our county magistrate is very strict. If we covet the people's things, we will be punished."

"We're friends. What's the big deal about friends treating each other?" Ying Hai waved his hand. "If you treat me to a drink tomorrow, I definitely won't refuse. I'll even choose something expensive."

After hearing what Ying Hai said, the chief yamen runner stopped being polite with him and started to savor the food with big mouthfuls.

"This is too much." Qin Huiyin said, "I can't find it!"

"No need to look for it." Ying Hai said, "Just pack up the rest for me."

"Ah?" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "All of them?"

"Yes." Ying Hai had already tasted the delicious food, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. If he brought these delicacies back to that adult, he might be able to make another great contribution.

"Mom, Sister Luwu and my little brother, please help pack all the things. Third Grandpa, please help deliver the goods and give these things to Brother Yinghai to send to the Ouyang Mansion."

"You don't have to send it to the Ouyang Mansion, but you can help me send it. I didn't bring any servants with me this time, so I can't move it by myself. I'll point out a place later, and this gentleman can help me."

"Brother Ying Hai, I just heard you mention the chief steward. Could it be that the second steward has been promoted?"

"Thanks to you, he has become the head of the inner court of Ouyang Mansion. What a coincidence, he mentioned you last night, and I didn't expect to meet you today. When I go back and tell him, he will definitely be happy." Ying Hai said, and took out a heavier and larger silver ingot.

“Not so much.”

"The piece just now is definitely not enough, and I'm too lazy to find change. Just consider it as an advance reservation for the next batch of goods. You can prepare more next time, and I'll send someone to pick it up." Ying Hai said.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Ying Hai, for taking care of our business."

Several people moved all the goods to Mr. Tang Sanye's ox cart.

After Third Master Tang drove Ying Hai away, their stall was left with only the raw materials for pancakes and some unbaked skewers. So, from now on, they could only sell barbecue and pancakes.
