When Manager Chi learned of this, his face turned pale.

I've worked so hard to build up a customer base, I hope Baiweilou won't steal it all away.

But the result was unexpected.

The next day, Baiweilou was packed with people, but after trying the food, the customers all shook their heads and left.

The soup sold out quickly in the morning because many people tried it, but less than half was sold in the lunch market, and only a quarter of the soup was sold in the evening market.

Baiweilou's so-called new flavors did not impact Shunkelou; on the contrary, with the comparison, Shunkelou's business improved.

Shopkeeper Chi was delighted to see this.

The next morning.

With the addition of Shun Ke Lou's lunch and dinner options, Ye Caiping's stall is not as prosperous as before.

We used to sell three buckets every three hours, now we sell two buckets every three hours.

Customers who can't get a table aren't in a hurry; they can wait until lunch or dinner at Shunkelou.

Shopkeeper Chi walked over with a smile, carrying two boxes of pastries: "Sister Ye, thank you so much."

"Now, besides the popularity of our spicy soup during lunch and dinner, our other dishes have also become more popular. Now everyone knows that our food is delicious! It's all thanks to you, thank you."

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "The reason your restaurant has been able to succeed is not only because of your spicy soup, but also because your dishes are delicious."

Shopkeeper Chi laughed heartily: "You should come to my house and try it sometime."

"good."

"Well..." Manager Chi rubbed his hands, saying apologetically, "I see that you only sell two buckets a day... How about you sell me these two buckets in the morning too? That way you can have some free time."

I thought Ye Caiping would hesitate, but she smiled and nodded: "Okay! I'll supply you two buckets in the morning, and I won't set up a stall."

Shopkeeper Chi exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you! Haha! By the way, little sister, are you planning to supply a few more families later?"

His tone carried a hint of worry.

Ye Caiping laughed and said, "One market in the morning, two markets in the afternoon and evening. Any more than that, and I can't supply them all."

Shopkeeper Chi breathed a sigh of relief, chatted for a while longer, and then left happily.

No sooner had he left than two people arrived together.

One was a young man in his early twenties, and the other was a man in his fifties.

"Boss Ye, I'm from Decai Inn."

"I work at Daxing Restaurant. I heard you supply Shunkelou Restaurant, could you supply some to us too?"

Ye Caiping nodded, and the three of them sat down and talked for a while, agreeing to provide lunch and dinner services only for the two of them.

After the two left, the chubby woman walked over with a regretful look: "Cai Ping, are you not going to set up your stall anymore?"

"Yes, from now on we will only deliver to these three companies."

Fatty was very reluctant to part with her.

There was also a sense of envy and apprehension; with Ye Caiping gone, wouldn't her family's business be back to square one?

The chubby woman awkwardly said, "Um, could you give me a bucket? I'll pay whatever price they offer."

Ye Caiping laughed: "I just promised Shunkelou morning market that I would only give them two buckets, because I wanted to give you the remaining one. I really can't make any more than that."

"Cai Ping, thank you." Fatty grabbed her hand excitedly.

Ye Caiping still had half a bucket left. Every time a customer came, Ye Caiping would explain that she wouldn't be setting up her stall the next day, and that Fatty Sister would be selling them.

The customer looked regretful and somewhat reluctant to leave.

After all, it's always disappointing when a stall you've been eating at for so long suddenly closes down.

After selling the last half-bucket, Ye Caiping packed her things and left in an oxcart with Ye Erquan and Ye Jin'er.

Watching the stalls gradually disappear into the crowd, Ye Caiping felt a mix of reluctance and relief, and smiled faintly.

The first phase of her career is complete!
