Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

The success of the lobster skewers helped Lian Rongrong regain her confidence.

Because the lobsters sold out very quickly the previous day, Lian Rongrong dragged Wang Yang to the field to catch even more lobsters the next day.

The number of lobsters was twice that of the previous day, but they still sold out in less than two hours.

As they walked back from Feishui Town, it was already dark, but Lian Rongrong's mood was bright and cheerful.

This is the first time in her life that she has experienced the joy of earning money herself.

For several days in a row, Lian Rongrong's lobster skewers were sold out in a very short time.

Lian Rongrong's wallet was getting fatter every day. But before she could bask in this joy for more than a few days, she was faced with a new problem.

As the weather gets hotter, the lobster meat quickly becomes stale after being peeled.

During a trip to Feishui Town to set up a stall, Lian Rongrong discovered that the peeled lobster meat had already started to smell rotten as soon as she arrived in town.

To protect her reputation and to be responsible for the health of her customers, Lian Rongrong immediately packed her things and returned the way she came.

"Why are you back so early today?" Lin Chuyue wondered, seeing that Lian Rongrong had returned so soon.

Lian Rongrong placed the food box in the yard, feeling dejected, and said regretfully:

"Don't even mention it, the lobster meat has already gone bad before we even opened for business."

"Spoiled?" Lin Chuyue frowned.

Lian Rongrong realized that "spoiled" was not a word Da Sheng would use, so she explained, "It just means it's bad."

"Where did you learn these words? They're so strange and outdated!"

Although Lin Chuyue said this with a smile, she did not doubt Lian Rongrong at all.

Lin Chuyue's casual remark made Lian Rongrong a little nervous.

"I heard it all from other people in town these past few days," Lian Rongrong explained somewhat awkwardly.

Lian Rongrong carefully observed her sister-in-law's expression, and only felt relieved when she saw that Lin Chuyue didn't seem to care.

However, this is not all that is currently causing Lian Rongrong a headache.

Lian Rongrong opened the food box, and a rotten smell immediately hit her.

Lian Rongrong sighed. It wasn't even the hottest time of the year yet, and the lobster meat was already going to spoil.

If it goes on for a few more days, it will probably be even more difficult. This business has only been going on for a few days, and now we're facing problems one after another. It's really giving us a headache.

Ruan Nianzhi had somehow appeared behind Lian Rongrong, and sighed as she looked at the lobster meat in the food box, which had already changed color slightly:

"What a pity. You've wasted your entire morning's effort."

Lian Rongrong sighed, shook her head, and sat wearily on a stone bench nearby. She rested her chin on her hands and said with frustration:

"It's nothing much after just one morning, but what about the business afterwards?"

Ruan Nianzhi lifted her robe and sat down next to Lian Rongrong, gently comforting her, "Don't worry, there will always be a way."

Lian Rongrong didn't answer; her gaze fell on the wooden bucket in the kitchen. Inside were the crayfish that hadn't been processed that morning.

Just then, a crayfish "escaped" and ran away. Seeing the crayfish jumping around on the ground, Lian Rongrong's face lit up with joy.

"I have an idea." Lian Rongrong jumped up excitedly, walked to the wooden tub in the kitchen, and held the little guy who had just escaped in her hand.

"Now that the people of Feishui Town have accepted the taste of crayfish, is it possible that they can now also accept the appearance of crayfish?"

Lian Rongrong muttered to herself, while Ruan Nianzhi nodded in response:

"I think it's very possible. The people in our town have gradually accepted it, haven't they?"

"No, I have to go back to Feishui Town now and see what everyone thinks."

As soon as Lian Rongrong finished speaking, she picked up the wooden bucket and walked into the courtyard. Looking at this impulsive girl in front of her, Ruan Nianzhi shook her head helplessly.

He stepped forward, took the wooden bucket from Lian Rongrong's hands, and asked her as he walked:

"When will you be back from Feishui Town? It will take quite a while for you to go there and back."

"It's okay." Lian Rongrong wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued:

“This business is not easy to run, we can’t give up halfway. Brother Ruan, don’t worry, I know the way back and forth, nothing will happen.”

Lian Rongrong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

Ruan Nianzhi's bright smile was so captivating that it was hard to look away.

"I'll go with you, we have nothing else to do today anyway." Without further ado, Ruan Nianzhi placed the wooden bucket on the cart.

Lian Rongrong wanted to refuse, but Ruan Nianzhi had already pushed the cart ahead.

Fortunately, Lian Rongrong wasn't one to hold grudges. Seeing this, she stopped being polite and followed closely behind Ruan Nian, traveling together all the way.

When the two returned to Feishui Town, it was already afternoon. Because business had been good recently, some of their old customers already recognized Lian Rongrong.

A middle-aged woman saw Lian Rongrong setting up her stall at her usual spot and went up to her to strike up a conversation:

Why are you so late today?

Lian Rongrong turned around upon hearing the voice, and seeing it was a regular customer, she responded with a smile:

"I came here once this morning, but the meat wasn't fresh. I was worried it would affect everyone's taste, so I went back and got some fresh meat."

Hearing Lian Rongrong say this, the middle-aged woman nodded with great satisfaction, "That's how business should be done. Your sister seems very honest. I feel confident buying your products."

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Lian Rongrong quickly pressed her advantage and said to the middle-aged woman:

"Since my sister trusts me so much, I must present her with a new dish today."

"Oh? Something new?"

"Please wait a moment, sister." Lian Rongrong carried the only wooden stool in the car down for the middle-aged woman to sit on, and then busied herself.

This time, Lian Rongrong didn't peel the crayfish clean; instead, she made garlic crayfish directly.

The aroma attracted many people to stop and admire it, including some regular customers.

But when Lian Rongrong placed a plate of garlic lobster in front of the middle-aged woman, the woman was so frightened that she turned pale.

"What...what...what is this thing? How can it be so scary?"

Lian Rongrong didn't rush to explain, because she was peeling the crayfish in front of everyone.

When the familiar lobster meat appeared before everyone, all those who had eaten lobster skewers couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

"This is crayfish?" The middle-aged woman swallowed, whether out of fear or craving, it was hard to tell.

"Sister, try this. It tastes different from lobster skewers." Lian Rongrong enthusiastically fed the middle-aged woman the lobster meat.

The woman glanced at the frightening lobster on the plate, then at the mouthwatering lobster meat in Lian Rongrong's hand, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, opening her mouth.

The middle-aged woman tentatively took two bites, and her expression instantly turned to amazement.

"Delicious! Really delicious!" the middle-aged woman exclaimed repeatedly, her hands unconsciously reaching for the crayfish next to her.

Deliciousness triumphed over fear, and Lian Rongrong's lobster business thus gained widespread market access.
