"Okay~".

Liu Cuifang walked back. She wasn't tired, just a little hot, so she took a shower and changed her clothes to relax.

Nearly an hour later, the village chief's wife's steamed buns were ready.

"Time for steamed buns, old man, wake up Cuifang."

The village chief's wife is quite skilled at making steamed buns; the buns are plump and white, and very pleasing to the eye.

"No need to call me, I got up by myself."

Liu Cuifang came out of the house.

"Try it and see how it tastes. This is my first time making mushroom-filled buns."

The village chief's wife was a little apprehensive, wondering if the steamed buns would taste right.

"Hmm, not bad, these steamed buns smell really good."

The village chief took a bite and began to praise it.

"These buns are alright, but they're still not as good as the ones from Wei Yuyan's shop."

Liu Cuifang was a little stunned; the steamed buns her mother made tasted pretty good.

However, it can't compare to the steamed buns from Wei Yuyan's shop, not even their spicy pork and chili buns.

Anyway, it just felt like something was missing, but she wasn't very good at cooking, so she didn't know what it was.

"Oh, it's just a little short. Should we still sell it?"

The village chief's wife believed that these were the most carefully made buns she had ever made.

I really don't know what else I can do to improve the flavor.

"Sell it. The taste is a little worse than hers, but it's still delicious. Maybe we can sell it for a lower price?"

Liu Cuifang started calculating the costs. Since the taste couldn't surpass Wei Yuyan's, she would surpass it in terms of price.

She simply couldn't believe that anyone would choose to eat expensive meat buns instead of the cheap ones.

"If we sell it cheaply, can we still make a profit?"

The village chief was also interested; who wouldn't want to make money?

"Yes, but we'll earn less. If business is good, we could earn a tael of silver a month."

After calculating everything, Liu Cuifang still felt it was a good business opportunity.

If I can get along well with my parents, I can earn a lot of money each month.

"That's still inconvenient. You can't wrap them yourself. Your mother can wrap them, but our cow died of illness last year."

"How do we get to town without an oxcart?"

The village chief took out his pipe and tapped it, then thought better of it; it wasn't realistic.

"That's easy. We don't sell normally; we only sell at the market."

"Let Mom go to town a day early and stay at the Sun family's house. The next morning, we'll pack everything up and go sell it together. It's so convenient."

Liu Cuifang came up with a good idea.

“That won’t do. Sometimes your in-laws are still at home. How can I keep going over there?”

The village chief's wife felt nauseous just thinking about Sun's mother's face, let alone living together.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Of course, if there were no money to be made, it would be inconvenient to keep running around like this."

The problem is, this is a great opportunity to make money, so how could they not welcome you?

Liu Cuifang was very perceptive; she knew that the Sun family would never act this way if there were any benefits involved.

“What my daughter says is right. Go back and talk to Sun Wei about this. If he agrees with you doing this, then you can try it next time you go to the market.”

The village chief nodded. His daughter had indeed gotten married and was much more sensible and intelligent.

“Okay, Mom and Dad, if we do this, our family will be turned upside down.”

Liu Cuifang is full of expectations for a better life in the future.

"Alright, eat more. Cuifang, take two of these buns back with you for Sun Wei and ask for his opinion."

The village chief's wife was also thinking about how to make the steamed buns taste even better.

"good".

Liu Cuifang thought Sun Wei would probably agree.

Back in town, Liu Cuifang steamed the buns and waited for Sun Wei to come back and eat them.

Liu Cuifang isn't very good at cooking, but now that she's married, she wants to improve her culinary skills.

She decided to start learning to cook and make steamed buns properly from tomorrow.

"Cuifang, I'm back."

Sun Weicai returned from outside in the evening.

"My husband, you're back. Come, have some steamed buns."

Liu Cuifang quickly went back to the kitchen and brought out the steamed buns.

"Oh, you're having steamed buns today? They're so pretty, did you make them?"

Looking at the plump, white steamed buns, Sun Wei couldn't quite believe that Liu Cuifang had made them.

"Hehe, it was made by my mom. You should try it and see how it tastes."

Liu Cuifang spoke the truth.

"Hmm, it tastes really good, Cuifang, you should learn from your mother-in-law."

Sun Wei savored the taste slowly. It was quite good. His mother's cooking skills weren't very good, and her steamed buns weren't this delicious.

"Sun Wei, can I talk to you about something?"

Liu Cuifang put her hands on Sun Wei's shoulders.

"What's up?".

Sun Wei froze, his hand still holding the steamed bun, and looked at Liu Cuifang.

"My mom and I want to make steamed buns to sell, you know? I've already done the math."

Just by selling on market days, we can earn about one or two taels of silver a month, which my mother and I will split 50/50.”

Liu Cuifang shared her thoughts.

"Should we sell these buns? I feel they don't taste as good as the ones from the one on South Street."

Sun Wei was referring to Wei Yuyan's steamed bun shop, which is now the most successful business in town.

"I knew we couldn't compete, so we decided to lower the price."

Others sell two for three coins, we sell three for three coins. If they're both meat buns, which one would you buy?

Liu Cuifang was very confident that she could sell the steamed buns.

"If I'm hungry, I'll buy three for three coins; if I'm not very hungry, I'll choose the ones that taste better."

Sun Wei, however, felt that when eating out, one should naturally have certain requirements regarding taste.

Otherwise, it's better to eat at home; why bother buying food outside?

"So, we still have a market. My mom and I will give it a try."

However, if that's the case, my mother will have to stay overnight in town the day before the market, is that alright?

Liu Cuifang and Sun Wei were acting coquettishly.

"Then how will you repay me?"

Sun Wei rubbed Liu Cuifang's buttocks.

What do you think?

A few days later~

"Sister-in-law, I have some bad news for you."

Wei Yuyan was washing dishes at home when her two older brothers and sisters-in-law came over.

Sister-in-law Xiuhua was still saying this with a worried look on her face.

"Oh, what's wrong? What's going on?"

Wei Yuyan asked them to sit down and have some water, as it was so hot outside and they had traveled a long way.

"Look~".

Sister-in-law Xiuhua brought a basket of steamed buns and placed it on the table.

"Oh, this is... not all of them sold out?"

Wei Yuyan found it hard to believe; there were so many steamed buns, dozens of them!

"Yes, you know what? Liu Cuifang and the village chief's family actually set up a steamed bun stall not far from us."

Most importantly, she sells them for one penny each, which is cheaper than ours.

They stole all the business. Luckily, most of my customers are regulars, otherwise there would be even more left over.
