The Si family consisted entirely of women, with the sole adult male, Si Xingzhi, being a lazy, illiterate man, relying on Aunt Jin for many of the rough work. Now, with the help of Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan, it made things much easier for Aunt Jin and her younger sister, saving them a lot of time.

The people who set up the stall now are Si Muyan and the younger sister, who are regulars, while the younger brother and the second sister take turns to come every day.

Originally, the second sister wanted to let the younger brother take a rest and leave everything to her, but Xiaoxia was too young, and Si Muyan didn't want her to work too hard when she was still in confinement after giving birth, so they decided to take turns for now.

On the other hand, the younger sister grumbled to Si Muyan behind her back, "Second sister's temper is fine when it comes to washing dishes, but she's so stubborn and annoying when serving porridge. What's wrong with filling the bowl a little more for regular customers? She has to put on a good face and likes to be a nice person. Last time we asked her to collect money, she saw that the customer's clothes were a little torn, so she charged two cents less, but she wouldn't give less to others, and we lost two customers!"

"..."

Si Muyan was also speechless. Her second sister was very serious, just like what she had seen online in modern times. The young couple had a prosperous business, but it was no longer possible to take the old man in.

If people took a little extra pickles from the delivery, the second sister would be unhappy. She would be dissatisfied if there was a little too much porridge. She would be even more unhappy if some men with dirty mouths flirted with her when they saw her beauty.

But when you open a business, these are unavoidable.

The younger sister said, "Big sister, from now on, let me stay with you and ask you to stay at home."

Si Muyan shook her head: "Little sister, have you noticed that I am not very good at dealing with people?"

"But I'm not reckless. At least I know how to smile at customers. Look at what my second sister did. How many smiles do I have to smile at?"

Si Muyan said, "Little sister, not everyone understands these things like you. I didn't understand them at first either, but I learned slowly by watching us. Your second sister is just starting out, and she's even more stubborn, but we're a family, how can we give up on her?"

My little sister stopped talking.

The younger brother next to him heard this and looked up and said, "Third sister, I think the eldest sister is right. We are a family, and the second sister is doing better than she did at the beginning. The eldest sister is right. I hope that in the future, it will be the four of us who take turns, so that all four of us can support the porridge stall."

The younger sister rolled her eyes and said, "By that time, we'll have rented a shop long ago. Running a shop happily is better than anything else!"

Their current goal is to earn enough money to open a shop.

When we got to the stall, my younger sister looked at me with sharp eyes and asked in confusion, "Aunt Luo used to be at the stall at this time, why hasn't she come here yet?"

The uncle selling steamed buns next to him said, "Sister Luo is not here anymore. She bought the shop in front and now specializes in steamed buns."

"Ah? So awesome!" The younger sister responded, feeling a little jealous.

Aunt Luo's stall business was just like that before. After they came here to sell porridge, the number of people increased significantly. Some men with big appetites could not eat one bowl of porridge and would buy two buns.

After that, Aunt Luo's business got much better. Unexpectedly, she took over the bun shop so quickly.

And they still have to work so hard to sell porridge every day.

When it was time to close the stall, Aunt Luo came over with a basket of buns and greeted them warmly: "Yan girl, Wan girl, Xiao An, come here, these are my buns. I've left ten for you, take them back and eat them."

Si Muyan smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated Aunt Luo yet for taking over the shop. I was also thinking about visiting your place sometime. If we make enough money next year, we'll also take over a shop."

"That's great! Just open it next door to my house so we can look after each other."

Aunt Luo cheerfully pulled Si Muyan and her younger sister aside and explained her purpose: "Well, my shop is quite large, and it's not cost-effective to just sell buns. I thought it would be better to sell something else as well, and that's when I thought of your porridge."

The younger sister's eyes lit up: "Yes, many people also like to eat porridge and buns at the same time."

"Yes, that's what I thought."

Si Muyan frowned slightly and looked up at Aunt Luo. Porridge wasn't a rare thing. Aunt Luo already had the convenience of selling steamed buns, so it wouldn't be difficult to sell porridge along with it. Why did she come to them?

Aunt Luo touched her nose and continued, "It's like this. I cook porridge myself and have tried other people's porridge. I found that the taste is not as good as yours. So I thought, why not ask you to supply it directly?"

The younger sister was even more delighted: "My family's porridge used to be ordinary, but now it's extraordinary. My eldest sister puts a lot of effort into making it, and the taste is unmatched by other families."

"That's the logic." Aunt Luo rubbed her hands excitedly, "If you agree, let's give it a try first?"

Si Muyan didn't agree immediately, but just asked: "How does Aunt Luo plan to supply it? We have an ox cart, and it's not impossible to supply a little every day."

Aunt Luo smiled and said, "Actually, the main idea is to form a partnership. I'll provide you with a place to sell porridge, and let Wan go there to sell it. We can discuss how to divide the money later."

Originally, they wanted to buy a shop, but the rent was too high. Even if they were confident they could break even, they didn't have the capital. Now they could just own a shop. Isn't that easy?

Si Muyan held her excited little sister and said, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. If Aunt Luo asked us to serve porridge, I wouldn't have a problem, but we have to take care of our business, and there aren't enough people at home, so we really can't get away."

"Well...don't you have a sister? Let Wan go to my place. It won't be a big deal if you three siblings stay here."

Si Muyan still shook her head: "Aunt Luo, thank you for your kindness, but forget it. My second sister is still in confinement after giving birth and is not suitable for overwork. Besides, there are many things to do at home. We can't just rely on the elderly."

After being rejected like this, Aunt Luo could only sigh and say, "Then... let's wait and see."

However, he did not offer any porridge. He just left the basket of buns and left.

The younger sister was so itchy that she wanted to agree immediately, but she knew that her elder sister had her own reasons for doing so, so she held back and said nothing. As soon as Aunt Luo left, she could no longer hold back.

"Sister, why would you refuse such a good thing?"

"Good thing? Don't you see what Aunt Luo means?"

The younger sister didn't understand: "She said she would provide us with a place to sell porridge, and we should just give her a share of the profits. It's a mutually beneficial situation. As long as there is a shop, I can come here to sell porridge no matter what the weather is like."

"How much space does a bun shop need? But a porridge shop is different. Not only do they have to sell porridge, they also have to set up tables and chairs. That's why only one person is used to sell porridge. But why do you think Aunt Luo specifically asked you to go with her to the shop?"
