Upon hearing this, Tie Niu's wife laughed and said:

"Haha, I thought it was something. Let's sell! We're all from the same village, why can't you set up your stall if I can? Everyone does business based on their own abilities."

Zhu Zi's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

"Come here, let me tell you, you can't cook too much white rice. And also..."

Tie Niu's wife told Zhu Zi's wife about her experiences over the past two days.

Zhu Zi's wife left with a face full of gratitude.

The next morning, Tie Niu and his son set up their stall again.

As soon as they arrived, they saw several more food stalls in front of the glass workshop. The stalls were run by people from the same village, who smiled when they saw them.

Zhu Zi's wife didn't set up her stall here; she set up hers over at the furniture workshop.

Today, Zhao Jinshan's family still serves the same three dishes. The new shops across the street sell stir-fried tofu and steamed eggs, but no pork offal.

Soon, people came to eat.

Although there were a few more vendors today, the market has already absorbed them all.

Zhu Zi's wife had sold out of food at the furniture workshop and happily went home to count her money. She had actually earned more than two hundred coins.

With the success of these few families, the villagers were all excited and rushed to sell their goods in front of the workshops.

There were vendors selling rice, steamed buns and pastries, and noodles.

With more choices, some products are inevitably eliminated.

Zhao Laizi and Ye Xiniu also started selling lunch, but because they were reluctant to use oil and meat, the portions were small and the taste was poor. After a few days, they actually lost money and stopped selling, cursing and swearing.

After more than half a month, apart from a few who lost money, most villagers made a little money, some earning a few dozen coins a day and others earning over a hundred coins a day.

Zhao Tieniu's family still has the best business to this day, because they stir-fry pork offal so well that there are very few people in the whole village who know how to do it.

The villagers all looked on with envy.

Granny Zhao also brought her daughter-in-law to sell food for a few days. Her cooking skills were average, and she sold stir-fried eggs with chives and stir-fried lean meat with cucumber.

But because meat is so expensive, even lean meat costs 15 coins per pound. At that price, if you sell a meal for 10 coins, you simply can't put in more meat, otherwise you'll lose money.

Pork offal is different; it's 5 coins a pound. You won't lose money even if you add more offal.

With one serving having less meat and the other having more, customers will naturally choose the pork offal rice with more meat.

Therefore, Granny Zhao's business is far inferior to Tie Niu's.

Granny Zhao did try selling pig offal once, but it was cooked so badly that it was tough and fishy that she couldn't sell it at all.

Granny Zhao's eyes were so red they looked like they were about to pop out.

She suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

Oh right, she remembered that Caiping could also cook pig offal!

When Cai Ping was building a new house, she used to stir-fry pork offal, and it tasted amazing!

Granny Zhao hurriedly packed up her stall, then, with her bound feet, rushed towards Ye Caiping's house, calling out, "Caiping! Caiping!"

As he spoke, he started to walk into the house.

Previously, they could come and go as they pleased, but this time, Shanzi stopped them.

Shanzi smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao, my wife has gone out."

Granny Zhao said, "What? Never mind, I'll go find Sister Youtian."

Shanzi: "Madam went out with the old lady and the old master. The whole family went to the prefectural city for sightseeing."

Granny Zhao was very upset: "Why did she have to go out now of all times?"

He muttered to himself as he turned and left.

Oh, right, they also speculated on it when Daquan was building the house!

Granny Zhao excitedly went to Ye Daquan's house, only to be told that he had gone out for a trip.

Granny Zhao was unwilling to give up, so she returned to Ye Caiping's doorstep and asked, "Is your cook, Aunt Yang, home?"

Shanzi: "I don't know where they're busy."

Old Lady Zhao had no choice but to wander around.

In the afternoon, when they finally saw the cook, Yang Ma, carrying a basket out, Granny Zhao rushed up to her and said, "Yang Ma, Yang Ma, you're cooking for Cai Ping, you must be making pig offal, right?"

Aunt Yang laughed and said, "I'm pretty good at cooking other meat dishes, but I'm terrible at cooking offal. Sorry, I have to go to town to buy some things!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Old Lady Zhao was disgruntled and had no choice but to squat down and wait for Ye Caiping.

Ye Caiping deliberately brought her family out.

Because she can stir-fry pork offal.

He clearly knows how to cook, but he doesn't make money from it. When villagers ask him for advice, he feels he has to offend his fellow villagers if he doesn't teach them.

If they teach him, it will cut off Tie Niu's family's livelihood.

......

The Zhao family was counting their money behind closed doors.

Tie Niu's wife strung all the copper coins together and laughed, "I didn't expect that with so many more stalls, our business wouldn't have suffered much."

"Qiao Jie!" came the voice of Zhu Zi's wife from outside.

Tie Niu's wife quickly opened the door, smiling as she walked out: "What's up? How's business today?"

Zhu Zi's wife said sheepishly, "It's alright, it's alright, I still make more than a hundred coins a day! By the way, I just saw Aunt Cai, she stopped Yang Ma from Cai Ping's family and asked Yang Ma to teach her how to make drains."

Tie Niu's wife was taken aback, then nodded: "I'll go find Aunt Youcai."

After saying that, he walked out, leaving Zhu Zi's wife bewildered: "Huh?"

Zhu Zi's wife chased after them.

Before long, the two arrived at Ye Caiping's house.

Granny Zhao was seen wandering around with her hands behind her back.

Tie Niu's wife quickly went over and grabbed her hand: "Aunt Fa Cai, don't look for Cai Ping anymore. If you want to learn how to work in the sewers, I'll teach you."

"What did you say?" Granny Zhao asked in surprise, happiness had come too suddenly.

Tie Niu's wife laughed and said, "If you want to learn how to boil offal, I'll teach you. And Zhu Zi's family, you can learn from me too!"

Zhu Zi's wife couldn't believe it. What was all this about?

This is Tie Niu's family's signature dish, and she actually wants to teach it to others?
