"Boss, my sister bought a girl's vest from your store yesterday, do you remember?" Ding Jing went straight to the vest rack as soon as she came in. The colorful vests were a joy to look at.

"Yes, yesterday a beautiful lady said she wanted to buy one for her niece to try on. What do you think? Is it comfortable to wear?"

Ding Jing nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I brought the child here today because we agreed to wear it. I'm planning to buy a few more pieces. Wenwen, come and pick out your own, see what color you like."

The little girl following behind smiled shyly at Zhang Xuemei, then pointed to the shelf and said, "Mom, I want all the colors except black."

Wow, this is going to collect all the colors of the rainbow! I have ten colors here, nine of them excluding black!

Ding Jing was also taken aback. "So many? Can you even wear them all?"

"How can I not have enough colors? I change colors every day, and there are thirty days in a month, but I still don't have enough colors! Mom, please buy me more, I love them~" the little girl said, shaking her mother's hand affectionately.

Zhang Xuemei initially thought Ding Jing wouldn't agree, but she was soon wrong.

Ding Jing reached out and touched the tank tops on the shelf, asking, "Do you want a tank top? How about a spaghetti strap one? I think they look pretty good too."

Yang Wenwen's eyes lit up. "Yes, Mom, I want them all." Thinking of the suspenders worn by actresses on TV, she thought it would be really cool if she could wear the same style.

"Okay, boss, give me one of each color and style in my daughter's size," Ding Jing said to Zhang Xuemei readily.

Zhang Xuemei immediately snapped out of her daze and hesitated, saying, "We have ten colors and two styles in total. If we take them all, that'll be twenty pieces. Isn't that too many? Children grow so fast, you see..."

"It's alright, as long as the child is happy." Ding Jing smiled and patted her daughter's head. She didn't really care about the money.

"I don't want the black one, Auntie, please don't give me the black one," Yang Wenwen quickly added.

"I'll listen to my daughter."

"Okay, Xiao Wan, take this girl's vest off. Oh, and we also have some underwear for little girls, do you want to take a few? There are quite a few colors."

Zhang Xuemei finally understood. This little girl probably liked colorful things and had a hobby of collecting them all. Coincidentally, the girls in the store were all dressed in colorful clothes, which matched her hobby. Anyway, she wasn't short of money, right?

Sure enough, the little girl's eyes lit up when she heard there were many colors, and she immediately exclaimed, "Yes, yes, Auntie, give me one of each color!"

Seeing that her mother didn't object, Zhang Xuemei immediately smiled and agreed. This was a big order, money was coming in! She really hoped to have a few such generous customers every day.

After looking at the children, Ding Jing started looking at her own things. After trying on several styles, she also picked up five bras and ten pairs of panties, one of each color in the store.

When it was time to pay, Xu Mingwan was so happy that she secretly gave him a few more pairs of hair clips, all of different colors.

Nine regular-style tank tops, nine camisoles, ten pairs of girls' underwear, five bras, ten lace underwear, and ten cotton underwear, totaling 372 yuan. This must be the biggest order I've made today.

Just after the mother and daughter left, another group of customers arrived at the shop. Although it wasn't as crowded as other shops, people came in one after another, which was some consolation for them.

...

After 10 p.m., the number of people on the food street gradually decreased, and everyone began to pack up their stalls.

Xu Mingjiang suddenly remembered what his third brother had said that morning, so he turned to look at the person who was busy wiping the table.

"Zhao Jiaxing, are you free? I have something to tell you."

Zhao Jiaxing stopped wringing the rag, looked up at Xu Mingjiang, and said strangely, "Just say what's wrong, I still need to clean."

There was a pool right behind them, and Zhao Jiaxing would always clean his stall thoroughly before closing time, making things much easier the next day.

Xu Mingjiang glanced around, then walked up to him and whispered, "My third brother asked if you want to buy the recipe for braised food?"

Zhao Jiaxing suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Mingjiang. The movement was so big that Xu Mingjiang was so frightened that he took several steps back.

"Don't get excited, look, the water on your rag is about to splash onto me."

“No,” Zhao Jiaxing reached out and grabbed Xu Mingjiang’s hand, asking quietly, “Did your third brother really say that? I asked him several times before and he ignored me! Why is he like this this time…”

Xu Mingjiang rolled his eyes at him. "You get upset when I ignore you, but now that I'm willing to teach you, you're worried. You're really something."

"Oh, I'm just too happy to react for a moment. Tell me quickly, how exactly is this teaching method used?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Mingjiang's stall again. Where would she set up her stall if she learned how to do it? This food street was a nice place, but there was already one, so it might not be a good place to set up another one!

"Don't even think about stealing my business. My third brother said that if you want to learn, you can't set up your stall in the food street or night market. That's called maintaining distance." Xu Mingjiang stared at Zhao Jiaxing warily. He hadn't made enough money yet, and he couldn't let Zhao Jiaxing ruin his business.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything. I'll find another place later!" Tianshui City is so big, there must be a suitable place. Besides, this distance protection is quite interesting. It means that even if Xu Minghan teaches others, they won't all set up shop together? That's a good thing.

"Hmm, that's more like it. My brother said he wanted ten thousand." Xu Mingjiang held up one finger and waved it. His third brother said he would also teach him, but he would charge a lower price, one thousand. That way, he wouldn't have to share the profits from this stall with his third sister-in-law anymore. In the end, he would still make a profit.

"Ten thousand?" Zhao Jiaxing couldn't help but exclaim, then quickly lowered his voice, "No, isn't that too expensive? How much braised food do we need to sell to break even?"

Xu Mingjiang glanced at him. "Expensive? Don't underestimate the profit margin of braised food. If you find the right location and do a good job, you can break even in a month. Do you think it's worth spending 10,000 yuan?"

"Really? How can you make so much money?" Zhao Jiaxing asked skeptically, but after seeing the serious expression on Xu Mingjiang's face, he couldn't help but believe it.

"Then, can you give me a rough estimate of how much money you make from this stall? That way I'll have a better idea. You said ten thousand isn't a small amount, right?"

"I can only tell you that if it were me, I could probably break even in a month. You see, the cost of those braised vegetables is actually very low, but they're not cheap to sell." Xu Mingjiang wasn't afraid of Zhao Jiaxing being jealous. Although this guy was a bit of a scoundrel at times, he was generally a good person.
