Based on the above reasons, Liu Yunniang was even more unwilling to take this recipe that could be exchanged for a large sum of money for nothing.

Su Qingluan naturally understood the value behind this porridge recipe, and judging by Liu Yunniang's reaction, she clearly understood it, too. However, Liu Yunniang's first reaction was to not let her suffer any loss, which deeply touched her and made her very happy—she hadn't misjudged her; Liu Yunniang was indeed a straightforward and open-minded person.

She has always been a person who treats others with sincerity and she will return the favor, so she told Liu Yunniang her true thoughts.

Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Although this porridge is delicious, it takes quite a bit of effort to cook. Compared to those dishes that are quickly served and presented in a stylish manner, this one can be considered 'unattractive'. Besides, didn't Yunniang just say that she was 'in good health' and didn't plan to eat this porridge?"

Liu Yunniang was stunned for a moment, and recalled what had just happened. It was indeed the case.

"So, whether it's the amount of money made or the acceptance of diners, it won't take long for this porridge dish to become popular with the public. How many restaurants can afford to wait?"

Liu Yunniang was not a stupid person. After thinking about it for a while, she understood the problem: Why don’t they just open a small breakfast shop instead of opening a larger restaurant or store?

Needless to say, even on the "Golden Commercial Street" where Xie Zian rented a shop to Su Qingluan, who sells breakfast?

Ultimately, breakfast shops back then required even more hard work than they do today. Furthermore, breakfast had low profit margins and a relatively low barrier to entry, making it difficult to create anything "high-end."

Because of this, restaurants that simply serve breakfast are basically small businesses - those that are slightly larger often make money by selling snacks and other types of food.

Since it is a small business, it naturally lacks the ability to bear the initial investment risk. And "waiting until the majority of diners accept century egg porridge" is the initial investment risk that the store needs to bear.

To put it bluntly, since there are certain investment risks in the early stages, why should others willingly give up their already stable income and take risks?

Of course, this risk can be taken, but for most people, it is possible, but not necessary.

It is not ruled out that there are people who dare to take risks, but Su Qingluan does not intend to gamble on such a probability.

Again, you can, but you don’t have to.

After figuring out the twists and turns, Liu Yunniang sighed, "If I could make this porridge well, Dad would definitely be happy to eat it!"

Su Qingluan laughed and said, "It is because your father has been bedridden for many years that I thought it would be a good idea to give away porridge, a food that is easy to digest, to those in need."

When Liu Yunniang heard Su Qingluan say this, she looked at her excitedly: "Dad has been sitting up more often recently! And he has also started learning to use his hands to massage his legs!"

Su Qingluan was also very happy to hear this: "This is a good thing! If the sick person wants to recover on his own, sometimes it is even more effective than a doctor's prescription!"

The department she worked in in her previous life was just like this—patients died every day, but miracles also happened every day. Many of them had been "sentenced to death" by doctors, but relied on their willpower to persevere and eventually survive.

Although her performance was "normal" - she was not scared to death by the disease, nor did she create a miracle, she still believed that the patient's subjective initiative was as important as the treatment.

Seeing Su Qingluan say this, Liu Yunniang nodded and said, "That's right, the doctor at Huichuntang also said that since my father has been sitting up and massaging his legs, his health has recovered better than before!"

The two of them talked for a few more words. Over there, Su Guangfu and Yang had already weighed and screened the offal that Liu Yunniang had processed.

Recently, as Liu Yunniang's technology in handling sewage has become increasingly sophisticated, there are very few parts that are unqualified and need to be reworked or are simply unusable, which greatly reduces the time cost of further sewage processing.

When saying goodbye, Su Qingluan said, "I'll give you the recipe tomorrow, but there's one ingredient in it that I'm afraid will take some time to make."

Liu Yunniang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Now I understand, Qingluan, why you said that this porridge 'requires a lot of effort'."

The two exchanged a smile and said goodbye.
