I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

Half of the customers who came to Liu Nanjia's stall today were regulars from yesterday, either those who queued up but didn't get a bite, or those who ate there yesterday and wanted more, so they came back to buy more.

The other half came because they saw a lot of people queuing up and were curious about what kind of business was so popular.

As a result, Liu Nanjia's six chickens and nearly 100 loaves of bread that she prepared today sold out again.

But she dared not promise more tomorrow, as today's output alone had exhausted her.

However, after thinking about it, I added a little more when I went to buy chickens, and bought 8 chickens in total.

This was also because the chickens were a bit smaller this time.

Indeed, the chicken vendor agreed to sell her chicks that hadn't grown up yet. The price was a bit low, but the time it would take to raise them was shorter. Besides, Liu Nanjia was now one of their big customers, so there was no reason for them to refuse.

On his way home, Liu Nanjia began to estimate his earnings for the day. Based on yesterday's situation, he should be able to earn more than 400 coins.

When they got home and counted them, they were indeed almost the same, which made the whole family very happy.

Their happiest time now is probably the daily accounting period.

But I need to go sell vegetables tomorrow morning, so how should I arrange my time?

Because she was going to sell fried chicken in the next couple of days, Liu Nanjia entrusted the task of collecting eggs to Aunt Wang, asking her to help collect them.

After all, the two children in the family, Liu Sirou is still so young, and Song Chen has difficulty walking and is an outsider who is not familiar with the people in the village.

In addition, most of the people who come to sell eggs are women and children, including unmarried girls, which is quite inconvenient.

So I asked Aunt Wang for help again.

Aunt Wang agreed readily, but Liu Nanjia felt bad because Aunt Wang had helped them so much.

She wanted to give Aunt Wang some money, but was firmly refused, so she could only send them some fried chicken and bread.

The egg collection issue is relatively easy to resolve, but someone still needs to sell the vegetables.

Liu Yanxi volunteered, "I'll go buy the vegetables myself tomorrow. You can stay home and make fried chicken, little sister. You don't need to go."

"Brother, can you do it yourself?" Liu Nanjia asked, somewhat worried.

“You called me the older brother, and I’m even older than you, how could I not do this kind of thing well? Don’t worry, I’ve sold things with you so many times, I can do it.”

Liu Yanxi persisted.

In the end, Liu Nanjia agreed. Tomorrow, they would split into two groups: Liu Yanxi would go to sell vegetables, and Song Chen would go to the clinic, while Liu Nanjia and Si Rou would stay home and make fried chicken bread.

After Liu Yanxi returned from selling vegetables, he and Liu Nanjia went to sell fried chicken in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Anping Town is not too far from the village, otherwise Liu Yanxi would have had a lot of trouble just to make these few trips.

So, the next morning, Liu Nanjia helped pack the vegetables and watched Liu Yanxi and Song Chen set off.

This was the first time Liu Yanxi had gone to town to sell vegetables by himself without her by his side.

As Liu Nanjia watched their retreating figures, she felt a strange mix of emotions. Why did she feel like a mother seeing her child off at school?

However, she quickly put those feelings behind her; she still had a lot of things to deal with.

Moreover, she gave Song Chen a task today: when they went to the clinic, he should secretly ask Doctor Bai if there were any medicinal herbs suitable for braising meat.

After experimenting for the past few days, she still felt that her braising sauce wasn't flavorful enough and was missing something.

I recall that many spices were originally used as medicinal materials, so I had no choice but to ask Dr. Bai for help.

After all, the taste of the braised food now is edible, but it's not good enough to sell outside.

Moreover, she no longer wants to eat chicken gizzards, chicken necks, and chicken feet every day!

The next few days were peaceful yet busy.

Liu Nanjia made fried chicken and baked bread every day, which was indeed tiring and hard work. But when she got home and counted her coins, she didn't feel tired anymore.

The daily fried chicken quantity has now stabilized at 10 chickens, and there are approximately 150 bread rolls.

She's been getting better at it these past few days, with the help of the rest of the family, especially Song Chen. She's found that Song Chen is even better at managing time than she is, so she's given him the task of baking bread.

There was no way around it; for the past twenty-odd years, she had relied on clocks and mobile phones to tell time, and she was really not used to not having such a timekeeping tool here.

And she finally managed to create braised dishes. The leftover scraps from the fried chicken were no longer a problem for them. Not only them, but even Aunt Wang's family was tired of eating them.

With a basic braising broth, anything you add to it will taste delicious, such as dried tofu, eggs, etc.

Actually, Liu Nanjia also wanted to braise beef, but at this time, beef wasn't something you could just eat whenever you wanted. Cattle were mainly used for plowing the fields and couldn't be slaughtered at will.

But this is enough for now. Their stall already has three kinds of snacks: fried chicken, bread, and braised food, and they are already very busy.

Because the chickens were replaced with smaller ones, the chicken wings and drumsticks were naturally smaller, so Liu Nanjia added a little bit of popcorn chicken to each serving.

However, some customers were still dissatisfied, saying, "We've only been selling them for a few days, and they've already started shortchanging customers. These chicken legs are much smaller than they were at the beginning."

Faced with such nitpicking, Liu Nanjia was naturally not polite. She said politely but not servilely, "Because we changed the breed of chicken to make the fried chicken more tender. The size is indeed a bit smaller, but the taste is better. The cost has not been reduced at all. Moreover, each chicken leg and wing now comes with popcorn chicken, so the total amount is definitely not reduced."

The change in the texture of the chicken is quite noticeable; most people who have tried it can taste the difference.

There are customers who like to nitpick, but there are also die-hard fans of fried chicken.

"The taste is obviously better now. The meat is delicious. It's okay if it's a little smaller. Besides, the girl added popcorn chicken."

"If you don't want to buy it, hurry up and leave. Don't waste time. There's a long queue!"

The customer who initially started finding fault slunk away under the pressure of the crowd.

Liu Nanjia naturally thanked the people who had spoken up for her earlier and promised to give them a few more pieces of popcorn chicken later.

There are always customers queuing up in front of the fried chicken stall every day, so the daily quantity is basically sold out, and the daily income is stable at around 800 coins, which is already a very considerable income.

After calculating the expenses over the past few days, including their food expenses and the cost of getting medicine for Liu Sirou, we can see that...

They had already earned 4 taels of silver.

Liu Nanjia was overjoyed. Finally, she was no longer living beyond her means. In the past few days, she had been spending even more after earning a little bit. It was so great to have savings!

However, on this day, Liu Nanjia was making fried chicken at home when Aunt Wang came over.

"Nanjia, the egg harvest hasn't been going well these past few days. I heard that other people in the village have started harvesting too, and they'll be harvesting vegetables at the same time as you tomorrow morning! What are we going to do?"
