Zhang Chunxue pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let Xiao Shen accompany you for the next two days. This is my first time going to the county to test the waters, so I won't bring too much stuff with me. I can handle it all by myself."
Zhou Mingli was stunned, but still a little worried: "But Mom, when you come back from setting up your stall in the county, it will be dark, and I'm worried about you being alone!"
Although I feel more relaxed with Xiao Shen following me...but what about my mother?
"What's the big deal?" Zhang Chunxue shrugged. "Our town is only 20 kilometers away from the county, and I'm riding a tricycle. If some unscrupulous criminals show up, I have the kitchen knives in my tricycle ready to kill them!"
She thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll keep the kitchen knife close to me when I come back. If anything happens, I'll just chop the person down first!"
Zhou Mingli was suddenly startled, and then looked at her with admiration: "Mom! You are really amazing!"
Zhang Chunxue smiled and patted her head: "If I weren't strong, how could I protect you guys?"
Zhou Mingli felt warm in her heart.
Mom really has taken care of everything for them, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
In the afternoon, Zhang Chunxue gave Zhou Mingli and Song Yanshen some instructions, then rode his tricycle towards the county town.
Although the taste of braised pork and braised food has withstood the test of the people in the town, it is still unknown whether it can be really popular in the county.
However, Zhang Chunxue still has confidence in himself, in his skills, and even more in his luck.
Otherwise, how could she be reborn?
When it was Zhang Chunxue's usual time to set up her stall, Zhou Mingli took Song Yanshen with her and pushed the newly made cart to their permanent location outside the grain and oil station again.
As soon as they arrived, regular customers gathered around them as usual.
"Give me a bowl of luzhu... Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Zhou family? Why are you and the little mute here today?"
Zhou Mingli quickly explained: "Mom went to the county."
The regular customer suddenly realized: "No wonder... I said it's usually a tricycle, why did you change to a cart today?"
He rubbed Song Yanshen's head again and said, "Hurry up and serve me a bowl of stewed food. Put more pig intestines in it, and add a piece of dried orchid..."
"Isn't the little mute learning to speak? Is it working?"
Zhou Mingli quickly served him some braised pork and answered his questions: "I'm still learning! Mom is teaching me step by step..."
The regular customer took the braised pork she handed over and smiled brightly: "Now that I've learned this, I can't call you Little Mute anymore! It's just that your name is hard to pronounce! It's too literary and sour!"
A young man nearby grumbled, "Why are you being so jealous? My name is Yun Shen! Yun Shen, the name of the Cloud Depths, sounds so much better!"
A regular customer grinned and said, "I just said it was fancy!"
Good-natured laughter immediately broke out around them.
Song Yanshen's little face flushed red as he took the money handed over by a regular customer and gave him the change.
The regular customer rubbed his head again before squatting aside to eat the braised pork.
Seeing that everyone was queuing up as usual, and that there seemed to be no difference from before, Zhou Mingli finally relaxed a little and got busy.
But she couldn't help but wonder how her mother was doing in the county town.
As usual, Meng Wanshu hid in the office at this time every day, looked out the window, and then slandered and cursed Zhang Chunxue in her heart.
However, Meng Wanshu was a little surprised to see that Zhang Chunxue was not there today, and only that bitch Zhou Mingli and that dirty little mute were there.
She squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time.
Zhou Mingli carried Zhong Yuanyuan on her back, greeted the guests with a warm smile on her face.
Meng Wanshu curled her lips: "Humph! Doing a low-class business! Just like a prostitute selling meat, she has to put on a smile to receive customers..."
She thought maliciously in her heart: "What she is selling is meat... hehe!"
She wanted to cause trouble for Zhou Mingli, but she was worried that Zhang Chunxue would come over at any time, so after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare.
You know, Meng Wanshu knew that Zhang Chunxue gave the necklace she had pulled off her neck to Zhou Mingli after she returned!
This is what Zhong Chengren told her himself!
Why?
That's the necklace Zhong Chengren bought for her! That's her gold necklace!
But in the end, this little bitch got the advantage!
How can this bitch deserve it!
She and her short-lived, money-losing daughter should starve and freeze for the rest of their lives!
The more Meng Wanshu thought about it, the angrier she became. She was about to do something, but when she thought of Zhang Chunxue, she finally endured it.
If she went to fight with Zhou Mingli, Zhong Chengren would side with her, but if she took the initiative to provoke Zhang Chunxue, Zhong Chengren would definitely scold her for looking for trouble.
Although Zhong Chengren usually listens to Meng Wanshu, when something like this happens, Meng Wanshu is in the wrong, and Zhong Chengren still has some temper.
The most important thing is that Zhong Chengren has been winning money these past few days and has saved up over 200 yuan! Zhong Chengren said that he would take her to the county to buy a gold bracelet tomorrow, so...
She endured it!
Zhang Chunxue, who Zhou Mingli was concerned about, had already arrived in the county town when Zhou Mingli and her friends set up their stall. She stopped her tricycle at the location she had chosen the day before.
She added a piece of coal to the big stove, then opened the lid of the big wooden pot and started fanning it with a palm-leaf fan.
In an instant, the rich aroma of braised pork spread out.
Someone who happened to be passing by immediately sniffed and couldn't help but look over.
"Hey! Auntie! What are you selling?" She was obviously a foodie. When she smelled the food, her eyes began to light up and she kept swallowing saliva.
Zhang Chunxue smiled and said, "Luzhu and braised food... Would you like to try a bowl? I guarantee it's delicious!"
The man felt in his pocket and asked, "Want a ticket?"
“No ticket!”
"Then give me a bowl!"
Zhang Chunxue immediately picked up the ceramic bowl soaked in clear water and filled it for him.
"Brother, you're the first person to patronize my stall, so I'll give you an extra piece of dried orchid!" Zhang Chunxue smiled and handed him the full bowl. "Thank you for coming!"
This made the young man happy: "Oh! Auntie, you are so open-minded!"
Zhang Chunxue covered the pot with the stewed meat and stirred it with a big spoon, and a richer aroma spread all around.
"Wow! What is this? It smells so good!"
"It seems to be from that stall...what are they selling?"
"Is it selling braised food?"
Seeing that many people were attracted by the food, Zhang Chunxue immediately started to shout: "Braised food! If you want something, come and try it! It's so delicious that you want to swallow it! Pig ears, pork belly, pig tails... edamame, lotus root slices, potato chips..."
“If it doesn’t taste good, no money!”
