She first lit the fire to boil the mutton soup, and then put the braised dishes that she had prepared yesterday on the table one by one. Yesterday's dishes sold well, so the amount she prepared today was more than twice as much as yesterday.

Soon the aroma of mutton soup wafted out.

Ji He observed the surroundings while no one came up yet.

On her left was an uncle selling vegetables. He was placing the vegetables he had pulled from his cart on the ground. Ji He took a look and found that the green leaves, which were usually very fresh, looked a little wilted today.

She leaned over and squatted, stretched out her hands to help the uncle with his work, and casually said, "Uncle, how long have you been setting up a stall here?"

"It's been a year. Girl, you look unfamiliar. Did you just arrive today?" The uncle was very happy to see someone helping him. He chatted with Ji He while moving the vegetables.

"I came here for a while yesterday and business seemed good, so I came again today. Uncle, why do your vegetables look a little wilted? I didn't see that yesterday."

Ji He squatted in front of the stall, helping the uncle arrange the green leafy vegetables neatly bit by bit. He saw that most of the leaves were wilted.

This is not right.

This is a morning market, not a vegetable stall, so they shouldn't be selling overnight vegetables.

"Don't mention it. It's too hot today. The leaves were not like this when I picked them from the vegetable garden this morning, but they are already curled up after just a short journey."

The uncle looked at the wilted vegetables on the stall and felt a little worried. The morning market was full of old men and women who were very picky, and he was afraid that he would not be able to sell the vegetables today.

As he spoke, he took out a watering can and sprayed water on the leaves.

The leaves sprayed with water look much better than before.

Ji He wanted to say something else, but when she looked up, she saw someone coming to buy mutton soup. She could only hold her words back, put on a smile, and concentrate on her work.

The mutton soup she cooked was rich in ingredients and tasty. Not only did she provide plenty of mutton offal, but there was also a lot of mutton meat. Those who had enjoyed it yesterday came again today to buy more.

As the number of guests gradually increased, Ji He was busy all the time.

Just when she was fully immersed in it, she heard a cry of surprise.

"Ji He?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Ji He subconsciously looked up.

Standing in front of her was a middle-aged woman in sportswear, who was looking at Ji He with an inquiring expression, her eyes constantly scanning back and forth across her stall.

When he saw the duck intestines and goose intestines, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

This thing is very valuable. Since this girl is buying it here, can we eat more today?

Before Ji He could say anything, she picked up the disposable lunch box that Ji He had put aside and started picking up the food, muttering loudly:

"You are such a fool, you have such a skill but you don't even let your family members have a taste? You don't know how to be filial to your elders at all."

She was ruthless and only picked the most expensive duck intestines, not even touching the chicken intestines. In just a few moves, she almost filled the entire lunch box.

Ji He's eyebrows twitched as he watched.

She grabbed the woman's arm, snatched the lunch box from her hand, and said with a smile, "Aunt, duck intestines are spicy, and the elderly can't eat them. Can I serve you a bowl of mutton soup?"

The woman was a little unhappy about having her lunch box snatched from her. She curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, then give me five bowls of mutton soup, some more mutton offal, and fill me with these duck intestines. I'll go back and try it, and come back when I'm done."

Ji He kept smiling, put the duck intestines in his hand to the other side, and handed over a disposable lunch box filled with mutton soup:

"Aunt, we are all family, so I won't be polite. My parents passed away and owed 3 million yuan in debt. Now debt collectors come to my house every day and say that if I can't pay it back, they will ask my grandparents to help me pay it back."

"I begged them for a long time before they let me set up a stall in the morning market to pay off my debts. I have to hand in my profits every day. If I don't meet the standards, they threaten me and say they will come after you." Ji He looked at the ugly expression on his aunt's face, sighed, and continued:

"Aunt, I haven't come to see you for a while because I'm afraid of leading them to your house. Since we meet here today, aunt, would it be convenient for me to borrow some money? I won't lend you much, 100,000 yuan will be enough, to pay back part of the money I owe first..."

The woman standing in front of Ji He had a terribly ugly expression on her face. She looked around and felt that anyone who looked at her directly was here to collect debts.

She cursed in her heart, saying that even after death he still couldn't rest in peace and left behind a lot of mess!

He turned around and snatched the mutton soup that Ji He was holding, not even taking the duck intestines. Without saying a word, he turned around, squeezed out of the crowd, and left without looking back.

Ji He shouted from behind: "Aunt, please walk slower and watch the car."

When the woman heard this, she walked faster as if a dog was chasing her and soon disappeared in the crowd.

Ji He lowered his head, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he continued to sell mutton offal soup.

"Do you want chopped green onion and cilantro?"

"want."

"Okay, you came to buy something yesterday, old customer, I'll give you some more mutton offal."

Time always passes quickly when people are busy. Even in the morning, the temperature was not low. Ji He stood in front of the boiling mutton offal soup, and the clothes behind him were already soaked.

After the mutton soup was sold out, Ji He looked down at his watch. It was already half past eight and it was almost time to close the stall.

The mutton offal and mutton soup in front of the stall have been sold out, leaving only some duck intestines, goose intestines and the like.

This thing is expensive, so not many people buy it.

Ji He lowered her head and began to pack up. She put the stainless steel barrel back on the tricycle and then walked to the stall on her right.

It was a woman in her 30s selling tofu.

Seeing Ji He coming over, he immediately smiled and said, "Girl, would you like some tofu?"

Ji He nodded: "Sister, how much tofu is left? Can I pack it all? I want to go back and fry it and sell it."

"Yes, yes, there are still 3 and a half plates left." The woman was delighted when she heard this, and she said quickly: "If you buy them all, I'll give you a discount, 55 yuan per plate. Normally, a plate of tofu in my store costs 60 yuan."

"Okay, then I'll take this thing back later and I'll ride back to see you."

"Okay, my shop is right behind here. Do you see that tofu shop? They sell tofu all day long. Not only big tofu, but also dried tofu and bean curd skin. You can eat my tofu. It's made with pure brine. Look at the soup, it's clear!"

The woman pointed behind her as she spoke, and Ji He saw that there was indeed a sign for a tofu shop behind her.

After finalizing the deal, Ji He turned around and went back. He happened to meet a serious-faced uncle who was shouting through a loudspeaker at them to close their stalls. Ji He greeted him, got on his tricycle, and slowly rode out along with the crowd.

For fear of bumping into others in the crowd, Ji He did not ride fast. She looked at the vegetable stall next to her while riding.
