Wang Yan was counting money when she heard the little girl say those words, and her face instantly lit up with a happy smile.

"You're quite the businesswoman at such a young age."

Qiao Xiaoni could tell from the other person's clothes that I was an ordinary person from a well-off family, otherwise why would I buy so much meat all at once?

Wang Yan paid the bill readily. She was a primary school teacher in the town, and the principal was going to entertain guests at noon, asking her to come out and prepare two dishes. This put her in a real bind. There weren't any good restaurants in town, and she couldn't very well let the guests eat noodles, could she? When she passed by the market and saw so many people gathered around, she couldn't help but take a look. The moment she saw the pig's head meat, she knew that her meal for the day was sorted out.

After the payment was made, the second transaction was completed. People around started buying meat, and soon more than half of the meat in the basket was sold, leaving only four vegetable pancakes.

Qiao Xiaoni glanced around, took out plastic bags, and gave two to Grandma Sun and the fruit vendor.

Grandma Sun was serving guests; two little girls were picking out insoles and placing vegetable pancakes inside the stall.

"Auntie, here are two vegetable pancakes for you. I have things to do here, so I won't talk to you any longer."

By the time Aunt Sun realized what was happening, it was too late; the things had already been put down, and all she could do was call out to her retreating figure.

"You silly child, how can I take your vegetable pancakes every day? Don't do this again. I was just helping you save a stall. If you do this again, I won't save a stall for you next time."

Through this incident, Qiao Xiaoni felt that Aunt Sun was teachable and that she could keep in touch with her in the future.

I gave the remaining two vegetable pancakes to the old man selling fruit.

"These are the vegetable pancakes I promised you, I haven't broken my promise, have I?"

"You're incredibly clever, girl! To think of selling pancakes for vegetables in town, you're sure to have a bright future," the old man complimented.

"Then I'll take your kind words. I'll need to borrow the scales for a while longer. Come to my stall to get them when you need them."

"Yes, I'll go get it when I need it. Since you're in the business, you should check out the secondhand market. A scale doesn't cost much; mine only cost eighty cents."

"Okay, I'll go take a look after I finish selling my stuff, and I'll buy one if I find something suitable."

After saying goodbye to the old man, Qiao Xiaoni returned to her stall and watched as Su Chenhao made a deal with an old lady, selling off the remaining bones.

The old lady left with a smile on her face.

Su Chenhao handed over 1.5 yuan, "This is the money the old lady gave me for the bones. She covered them all, so I'll give her a discount of 1 mao."

"Mmm!" Qiao Xiaoni put the money away, her flat purse bulged up again, and she was in a very good mood.

Selling pig's head meat was just a sudden idea of ​​hers; she never expected it to be so successful.

Su Chenhao leaned over and said, "I think we can rent a shop. Look, there are several empty houses on the street. We have a lot of stuff with us, and it's not worth it to run back and forth every day. It's time-consuming and laborious, and if the weather is bad, we won't be able to do anything."

Following the direction he pointed, Qiao Xiaoni saw a row of houses, the kind of brick and tile houses that had been built many years ago. Some of them were missing several pieces of glass, making them look a bit desolate.

"The location is good, but the house is a bit run-down. Why isn't anyone renting it?"

"How so? Renting a house is an expense. You see, most people at the market only sell for half a day and then pack up and go home at noon. Renting a house is useless to them and would only cost them more money."
